Dorsett Vandeventer "Tubby" Graves (November 27, 1886 – January 16, 1960) was an American football, basketball, and baseball coach and a player of football and baseball.[1] He served as the head football coach at the University of Alabama (1911–1914), Texas A&M University (1918), and the Agricultural College of the State of Montana—now Montana State University (1920–1921), compiling a career record of 32–18–4. Graves also coached basketball at Alabama (1912–1915), Texas A&M (1915–1916), and Montana Agricultural (1920–1922) and baseball at Alabama (1912–1915), Texas A&M (1916–1919), and the University of Washington (1923–1946). In 1912, Graves was the manager of the La Junta Railroaders, a minor league baseball team of the short-lived Rocky Mountain League.[2][3]

Football

Graves played college football at Missouri from 1906 to 1908, and after his eligibility was used up in the Midwest, at Idaho in 1909.[4][5] After several years of playing baseball in the minor leagues, he coached at Alabama, Texas A&M, and what is now Montana State.[1] From 1911 to 1914, he led the Alabama program to a 21–12–3 record. In 1918, he coached at Texas A&M, where he compiled a 6–1 record. From 1920 to 1921, he was at Montana State, where he compiled a 5–5–1 record. While head coach of the baseball team at Washington, Graves also served as an assistant coach in football.[6]

Basketball

Graves coached Alabama from 1913 to 1915 where he compiled a record of 20–12 (.625).[7] At Washington, he was an assistant coach for 24 seasons under head coach Hec Edmundson. Graves had first met Edmundson at Idaho (as undergraduate athletes), and both were head coaches at Texas A&M in the spring of 1919.[1]

Baseball

Graves was the head coach at Alabama, Texas A&M, and Washington, where he led the Huskies for 24 seasons (1923–1946). Following his coaching career, he was named manager of athletics in 1947.[8] The UW athletic office building (1964)[9][10] and the former baseball field (through 1997) were named for Graves; he was posthumously inducted into the Big W Club, the UW athletics hall of fame, in 1980.[11]

Graves had a long-standing amicable rivalry with Buck Bailey of Washington State,[10][12][13] whom he coached in baseball and football at Texas A&M.[14]

After coaching

After stepping down as baseball coach, Graves became an assistant athletic director at the university, where he remained until his death. He was also involved with horse racing in Washington as a race steward at Longacres in Renton and Playfair Race Course in Spokane.[13][15][16][17]

Death

Graves was hospitalized in Seattle in December 1959 for treatment of a liver ailment and died several weeks later in January 1960 at age 73.[1][8] He is buried at Calvary Cemetery in Seattle, about a mile (1.6 km) northeast of the university.
