About Clarence Diebold
- Clarence Joseph Diebold (August 1, 1881 – January 1964) was an American football player from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and a starting quarterback for the University of Notre Dame. Diebold earned the starting quarterback job at the beginning of the 20th century under new head coach Pat O'Dea.
- His team began the season in magnificent fashion, outscoring their first four opponents by a combined total of 245-0.
- However, the run skidded to a halt with a 0-6 loss at Indiana, followed by a 6-6 tie against Beloit and a demoralizing 0-54 loss at Wisconsin—the worst-ever loss for the Irish at that time.
- But the team showed spirit in a competitive 0-7 loss at Michigan, then closed out the year with two straight wins for a final record of 6-3-1. After graduation, Diebold returned to his hometown of Pittsburgh where he married Edna Louise Lally, and spent the rest of his years working in the family lumber business.
