Career history

Charles William Grube (June 11, 1904 – January 21, 1976) was an American football player.

Grube was born in 1904 in Saginaw, Michigan, attended Arthur Hill High School in that city.[1] He then enrolled at the University of Michigan where he played college football at the end position for the Michigan Wolverines football team from 1923 to 1925.[2][3] He played at fullback in 1923, but was moved to end in 1925. At the time, one sports writer noted: "Grube has all the essentials of a good end ... He is a sure and hard tackler can handle a ball and is perhaps a better on defense than he is on offense."[4] He played on the 1925 Michigan Wolverines football team that included quarterback Benny Friedman and fellow end Bennie Oosterbaan.[3]

Grube later played professional football for the Detroit Panthers in 1926. He appeared in two games for the Panthers, one of them as a starter.[5]

In the 1930s, Grube was a football coach at Eastern High School in Lansing, Michigan and his alma mater, Arthur Hill High School, in Saganaw.[6][7]

Grube died in 1976 at age 72 while residing in Hollywood, Florida.[1]
