Fay R. Moulton (April 7, 1876 – February 19, 1945) was an American Olympic sprinter, college football player and coach, and lawyer. He served as the fifth head football coach at Kansas State Agricultural College (Kansas State University), holding the position for one season in 1900 and compiling a record of 2–4. Moulton medaled as a sprinter at the 1904 Summer Olympics and the 1906 Intercalated Games.^[1]

Early life and football playing career

Moutlon was born in Marion, Kansas. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1900, lettering for the Kansas Jayhawks football team in the 1898 and 1899 seasons. Moulton is in the KU Athletics Hall of Fame.

Coaching career

In 1900, Moulton was hired as the fifth head football coach for Kansas State Agricultural College (Kansas State University), in Manhattan, Kansas.^[2] His coaching record at Kansas State was 2–4. Moulton also played for the team during the season.^[2]

During his one year at Kansas State, Moulton's team was outscored by opponents 100–47. The two victories came against Fairmont College (Wichita State University) under Harry Hess and Kansas Wesleyan University.^[3] The win against Kansas Wesleyan was remarkable because Moulton led his team to victory despite the fact that approximately one-third of the team had been placed on academic suspension for failing mid-term exams.^[4]

Unlike modern-day teams, Kansas State football did not draw huge crowds in 1900. After K-State lost a home football game to Kansas State Normal (Emporia State University) by a score of 11–0, one reporter wrote that "The only disgraceful feature of the whole game was the crowd that witnessed it. The gate receipts did not pay one-third of the expenses. Not until there can be free co-operation of both students and college authorities for the support of the cause can K.A.C. ever hope to be successful on the intercollegiate athletic field."^[5]

Olympics

Moulton won a bronze medal at the 1904 Summer Olympics in the men's 60 metre dash.^[6] He was beaten in the race by Archie Hahn, who took gold, and William Hogenson, who won silver. Moulton also competed in the 100 metres event and the 200 metres competition, finishing fourth in both events. Two years later, Moulton won the silver medal in the 100 metre competition at the 1906 Intercalated Games.

Legal career

After one year of coaching at Kansas State, Moulton attended Yale Law School, graduating in 1903. He competed for the Yale track team while attending law school. Subsequently, Moulton worked in Kansas City, Missouri, and competed with the Kansas City Athletic Club.^[6]^[7]
