David Beale Morey (February 25, 1889 – January 4, 1986) was an American football and baseball player, coach of a number of sports, and college athletics administrator. He was an All-American football player for Dartmouth College in 1912 and a professional baseball pitcher for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1913. Morey coached football and baseball at the Lowell Technological Institute (1916–1917, 1948–1959), Middlebury College (1921–1924), Auburn University (1925–1927), Fordham University (1928), and Bates College (1929–1939). After leading small colleges to ties against college football powers Harvard and Yale, Morey was given the nickname, "David the Giant Killer" by Grantland Rice. Playing career Early years Morey was a native of Malden, Massachusetts. He played baseball and football, and also competed on the track team, at Malden High School. In June 1909, Morey struck out 25 batters in a baseball game against Everett High School. Dartmouth College Morey attended Dartmouth College where he played for three years each with the school's Dartmouth Big Green football and Dartmouth Big Green baseball teams. He was captain of Dartmouth's baseball team during his senior year in 1913. Morey played right halfback for Dartmouth's football team from 1910 to 1912. After the 1912 season, he was selected as a first-team All-American by W. J. MacBeth and a second-team All-American by Walter Camp. Professional baseball player Morey graduated from Dartmouth in 1913 and was signed by Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics. He was a right-handed pitcher and a left-handed batter, and played in two games for the Athletics during their 1913 season. On July 4, Morey pitched three innings of relief in the first game of a doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, allowing two runs on two hits. Baseball Hall of Famers dotted both teams' lineups, as the A's featured Eddie Collins and Home Run Baker, while Boston featured Tris Speaker and Harry Hooper. The A's took a 13-6 loss at the hands of Boston's Hall of Fame moundsman, Smoky Joe Wood. Morey's second big league appearance came on July 17 in a 5-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park. Morey pitched the eighth inning in relief of Philadelphia starter Bullet Joe Bush, and retired the White Sox side in order. In two major league appearances, Morey did not have any decisions and compiled an earned run average of 4.50. He came to bat once, but did not reach base.
