Robert J. Brown

Robert Brown (circa 1904 - 1985) was an All-American center who played for the University of Michigan Wolverines from 1923-1925. He was the captain of Fielding H. Yost's 1925 Wolverines team. The 1925 team won the Big Ten Conference championship and was referred to by Yost as one of the greatest he ever coached. The 1925 Wolverines team had a record five All-Americans (Bennie Oosterbaan, Benny Friedman, Thomas Edwards, Harry Hawkins and Brown) and outscored their opponents 227-3. Remarkably, despite giving up only three points in eight games, the three points were enough to give Northwestern a 3-2 victory on November 7, 1925, on a wet and muddy Soldier Field in Chicago. Other than the loss to Northwestern, the 1925 had seven shutouts, beating Michigan State (39-0), Indiana (63-0), Wisconsin (21-0), Illinois (3-0), Navy (54-0), Ohio State (10-0), and Minnesota (35-0). Of Brown he said, "One of the greatest inspirational leaders I have seen." After leaving Michigan, Brown was a businessman in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He ran for the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan in 1966 as a Republican and served as a Regent from 1967 to 1974. His son, Robert M. Brown was captain of the 1962 Wolverines team, giving them the distinction of being the only father and son football players for the University of Michigan who also served as team captains.
