Arthur L. Strum

Arthur Leander Strum (March 5, 1894 – August 12, 1947) was an American college football, college basketball, and college baseball coach and athletics administrator. He served as the head football coach at Northern Normal and Industrial School—now known was Northern State University—in Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1916, at Oshkosh State Normal School—now known as the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh—in 1919, and three stints at Indiana State Teachers College—now known as Indiana State University (1923–1926, 1932, 1942), compiling a career college football coaching record of 30–25–2 (.545). He achieved even greater success in brief head coaching stints in men's basketball and baseball. Strum stepped down from all coaching duties following the 1927–28 school year, moving into athletics administration at Indiana State. He returned for two brief interim stints during absences by Wally Marks.
