About Lawrence Haskell

Lived 1899 – 1964 (aged 64–65). Lawrence Haskell was an American baseball player.

Lawrence E. "Jap" Haskell (November 18, 1898 – February 10, 1964) was an American university administrator, baseball coach, and football coach. He served as the head baseball coach at the University of Oklahoma from 1927 to 1941. During his tenure, the Sooners won 176 games and eight conference championships. In the military, Haskell was a lieutenant commander in the United States Navy during World War II.

Haskell was the University of Oklahoma athletic director from 1941 to 1947. The Board of Regents fired him on March 25, 1947 after university president George L. Cross discovered a $60,000 deficit and $6,000 of unknown expenditures in the athletic department budget. The misappropriation was during head football coach Jim Tatum's one-year tenure at Oklahoma.
