Victor Morton Place (November 26, 1876 – June 16, 1923) was an American
The following is a description of the 1909 Notre Dame team from Michael Steele's The Fighting Irish Football Encyclopedia:
"Victor Place [Notre Dame's coach in 1908] was replaced by Frank Longman, a former fullback for Yost from 1903 to 1905. He had coached at Arkansas and Wooster; at Wooster he had beaten Ohio State, the first time in 18 tries for the small school. In picking Longman, Notre Dame signalled [sic] the end of the domination of eastern personnel and methods."
Place died at Brookings, Oregon, in a logging accident in 1923.[4]
Early life and education
Place was born on November 26, 1876, in New Salem, Massachusetts. He earned an LLB from Harvard Law School in 1906.[5]
