JESSE BECK          AHS Class of 1911
          Jesse (Heinie) Beck made his senior and only season at Alliance High School an impressive one.  He lettered in football, making 75 percent of the tackles from his linebacker position and in track, competing in the shot put, javelin and hammer throw.
           He captained the 1914 Mount Union College grid team, he was a four-year All-Ohio pick, twice at tackle and once each at guard and fullback.  Beck, a B student, earned his way through college as an Alliance Machine Company night crane operator.
            After single coaching years at Wellsburg, West Virginia and Matoon, IL, he moved to Warren, Ohio in 1918. Beck spent the next 43 years in athletics and physical education prior to his retirement in June, 1961.
          He was the first Warren football coach to beat Massillon and Canton McKinley in the same season (1944) and the first to have an undefeated season (1945).  As supervisor of athletics and physical education, he headed the 1959 drive to raise $132,000, by popular subscription, to complete Warren’s football stadium.
          Jesse Beck, was a past president and secretary-treasurer of the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association and has been inducted into both the Mount Union College Athletic Hall of Fame and the National Football Hall of Fame.
