Brother Richard C. "Dick" Harlow (1889-1962) had a spectacular career as a college football player and coach. He was the first non-alumnus to be head football coach at Harvard. Voted college coach of the year in 1936, Harlow has been recognized as a pioneer of modern defensive tactics. The fact that he compiled an overall record of 149–69–17 as head coach at Penn State, Western Maryland, Colgate and Harvard is made even more impressive by the fact that football coach wasn't his "real" job. Brother Harlow was actually a professor of zoology and was considered the country's foremost expert in the field of oology - the study of birds' eggs.
