Joseph Amos Pipal (January 18, 1874 – August 10, 1955) was an American football, basketball, and track and field coach. He served as the head football coach at Doane College (1902), Huron University in 1905,[1] Dickinson College (1907), the University of South Dakota (1910), Occidental College (1911–1915, 1921–1923), and Oregon State University (1916–1917), compiling a career college football record of 50–35–3. Pipal was credited with devising lateral pass and mud cleats for football shoes[2] and in 1934 wrote a book titled The lateral pass technique and strategy.[3]
Born in Zachotín, Austria-Hungary, Pipal attended Beloit College, the University of Chicago, and Yale University.
He died on August 10, 1955, of a heart attack at his home in Los Angeles, California.[4]
