About Arthur L. Strum

Lived 1894 – 1947 (aged 53). Arthur L. Strum was an American american football coach, basketball coach, baseball manager and athletic director.

Arthur Leander Strum (March 5, 1894 – August 12, 1947) was an American football, basketball, and 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.

He returned for two brief interim stints during absences by Wally Marks.

In 1920, Strum was hired as the physical director at Central High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He coached football and basketball there before moving on to Indiana State in 1923.

Strum died of a heart attack, on August 12, 1947, in Terre Haute, Indiana.
