'''Boyd Blaine''' "'''Fox'''" '''Chambers''' (November 10, 1884 – April 26, 1964) was an [[American football]], [[basketball]], and [[baseball]] coach, and college athletics administrator. He served as the head football coach at [[Marshall University]] from 1909 to 1916, at [[Bethany College (West Virginia)|Bethany College]] in [[West Virginia]] in 1917, and at the [[University of Cincinnati]] from 1918 to 1921, compiling a career [[college football]] record of 50–44–7. Chambers was also the head basketball coach at Marshall during the 1908–09 season and at Cincinnati from 1918 to 1928, tallying a career [[college basketball]] mark of 122–97. In addition, he was the head baseball coach at Marshall (1910–1917), Cincinnati (1919–1928), and [[Miami University]] (1932), amassing a career [[college baseball]] record of 163–104–4.<br />
<br />
==Tower Play controversy==<br />
In 1915 Chambers was involved in a controversy with what would become known as a "Tower Play" during a game between [[West Virginia Mountaineers]] and the [[Marshall University|Marshall Thundering Herd]]. The Mountaineers were heavily favored and their head coach, [[Sol Metzger]], told the media he would "eat his hat if Marshall scores." Chambers developed a special play to prevent the shutout. On the Thundering Herd fourth possession Marshall moved the ball down to the 15-yard line. Marshall back Dayton Carter came into the game. Marshall quarterback Brad Workman, took the snap and set up to pass. Marshall's tackle, Okey Taylor, and Carter ran toward the end zone. Carter was hoisted onto Taylor shoulders as Workman rifled a high pass in their direction. Carter caught the ball and fell into the end zone for a score. Metzger argued with the officials, but the referee and umpire could find no rule to discount the score. The Mountaineers won the game by a final score of 92–6.<ref>Woody Woodrum, [http://marshall.scout.com/2/545747.html "Marshall-WVU Series Has Great, Short History"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100521084515/http://marshall.scout.com/2/545747.html# |date=May 21, 2010 }} (Herd Insider Magazine) Posted June 10, 2006, accessed January 27, 2007</ref><br />
