Frank Anderson's success story as an athlete started at Tennessee's White County High School and continued at Brandon Training School and Mississippi College before he began a remarkable coaching career. He served as coach and director of athletics at Mississippi College before being lured to Texas A&M in 1920 by Dana X. Bible, his prep college coach. Anderson was the head track and field coach at Texas A&M from 1922-35 and from 1946-57. Anderson's teams won nine track and field championships and nine cross-country titles. He also served as a dean, a commandant of the corps, and mayor of College Station. Three of his athletes (Art Harden, Walter "Buddy" Davis and Darrow Hopper) earned Olympic medals.
