Harvey C. Chrouser (August 7, 1912 – April 21, 2002) was an American football coach and athletic director.

Coaching career

Chrouser was the head football coach at Sterling College in Sterling, Kansas. He held that position for five seasons, from 1935 until 1939. His coaching record at Sterling was 17–21–6 ties.[1][2]

Wheaton

After his work at Sterling, he moved to Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, where he served as athletic director. After a few years of starting at Wheaton, he took a break to serve in the United States Navy as a Lieutenant Commander under George Halas.
