Robertson was Bradley's athletic director, and until he became ill last spring, coached and school's football, basketball and baseball teams.

A native of South Haven, Minn., Robertson started his college sports career in 1913 with the University of Minnesota freshman team.

He went to Carleton College, Northfield, Minn., where he starred in football, basketball and baseball for two years. At the University of Montana in 1915, he became one of the nation's great quarterbacks.
Before coming to Bradley in 1920, Robertson coached at Georgetown College in Kentucky and at Hays, Kan., State Teachers College. He started at Bradley in 1920.
