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. Pipal competed in football and track and field for Beloit.[4] He died on August 10, 1955, of a heart attack at his home in Los Angeles, California.[5]

Pipal was the seventh head football coach at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and he held that position for the 1907 season.[6] His overall coaching record at Dickinson was 2–6–1.[7]

Pipal coached for one year at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, South Dakota for the 1910 season, the fourth coach on record at the school.[8] His record was 5–2.[9]

Oregon State University

In 1916, Pipal took over as the head coach of Oregon State Beavers football, known then as Oregon Agricultural College.[10] In his first season as the head coach, Pipal coached the team to a 4–5 record. This season marked the first time Oregon State played the Nebraska Cornhuskers (on October 21 in Portland, Oregon) and the first road trip to Los Angeles, California to play the USC Trojans. OAC came up short against Nebraska, 17–7, but defeated the Trojans, 16–7.[11] Pipal's second season at OAC saw the team go 4–2–1, outscoring their opponents 83–33.[11]
