1901 Cornell Varsity 8 oared Rowing Team - Lueder is 5th from the left
Lueder graduated from Cornell University with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1902.[1] He was one of the first students to excel in three varsity sports there, competing under three legendary coaches: football under Glenn Scobey Warner, track under Jack Moakley, and crew under Charles E. Courtney. His undergraduate success led to his membership in the Quill and Dagger society.
Lueder was at that time considered one of the strongest athletes Cornell had ever developed.[2] In 1901, Lueder was part of Cornell’s world-record-setting varsity eight at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship Regatta in Poughkeepsie, New York. This crew broke the world record for a four-mile course with a time of 18 minutes, 53⅓ seconds.[3] In 1956 he was an inaugural inductee into the National Rowing Hall of Fame.[4]
Coaching career
After graduation, Lueder served as head coach of the Virginia Tech football team. Lueder was also approached by Syracuse University to coach their football team. He went to Syracuse to look over the facilities and talk to their representatives. He considered both propositions but accepted Virginal Tech.[2]
The next year he returned to Cornell as assistant coach of football under Warner and assistant coach of rowing under Courtney. He later became head football coach at West Virginia University (1908–1911), but returned again to Cornell as head crew coach for two seasons (1924–1926).
