| Member Biography | |
|
Charlie Bachman played at Notre Dame 1914-16, two years
as starting guard and one year as fullback. Notre Dame had a
21-4 record in his time. In 1918 he was the center for the
team at Great Lakes Naval Station. This team had a 7-0-2
record, beat Navy, Illinois, and Purdue, tied Notre Dame, and
whipped Mare Island Marine Base in the Rose Bowl. His
Great Lakes teammates included Paddy Driscoll, Jimmie
Conzelman, and George Halas. In 1919 at age 26 Bachman
began his coaching career, taking Northwestern to a 2-5
season. He moved to Kansas State and his record 1920-27
was 33-23-9. In 1928 he led Florida to an 8-1 total, the best
in school history up to that time. He was at Florida five years
with a 27-18-3 mark. Then came his years at Michigan State,
1933-42 and 1944-46. Michigan State had not beaten
Michigan for 18 years (1916-33), but under Bachman,
Michigan State beat Michigan 4 straight times (1934-37).
Bachman's record at Michigan State was 70-34-10. He
announced his retirement after the 1946 season but came back
seven years later and had a 5-2-2 year at Hillsdale College.
This made his career record 137-82-24 covering 28 years.
Bachman was born December 1, 1892, in Chicago; he died
December 14, 1985.
