Walter A. Johnson (April 3, 1893 – July 23, 1958) was an American football and basketball coach and college athletics administrator. He coached both sports at Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina.[1] As the athletic director at Presbyterian, he is loosely credited with giving the school's sports teams their unique nickname, the Blue Hose.[2]
A native of Milwaukee, Johnson attended South Division High School, where he played football as a fullback. He graduated from the Normal School of Education in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1915.[3]
Johnson died of a heart ailment, on July 23, 1958, at the age of 65, at his home in Clinton.[4] The former football field at Presbyterian was named in his honor.[5]
