Frank Anthony Piekarski (August 17, 1879 – August 15, 1951)[1] was an American football player and coach who later served as a judge in Pennsylvania. He attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he played college football for the Penn Quakers as a guard from 1901 to 1904. Piekarski was a third-team selection to the 1903 College Football All-America Team and a consensus first-team pick on the 1904 College Football All-America Team. He was among the first Polish-Americans to gain recognition in college football.[2]
Following his graduation from Penn, Piekarski served as the head football coach at Washington & Jefferson College from 1905 to 1907, leading the Presidents to a record of 25–7 in three seasons.[3] In 1914 he returned to his alma mater, Penn, as an assistant football coach in charge of the linemen under head coach George H. Brooke.[4]
Piekarski was also a lawyer. In 1933, he became a judge in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.[5] Piekarski died in 1951 at Pittsburgh Hospital in Pittsburgh.[6][7] In 2005, he was named to the National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame.[2]
