He served as the head football coach at Yale University from 1934–40, and at Bates College in 1941 and from 1946–51, compiling career college football record of 52–55–3. At Yale, Pond tallied a record of 30–25–2 record, including a 4–3 mark versus Harvard, and mentored two of the first three winners of the Heisman Trophy, Larry Kelley and Clint Frank. At Bates, he led the undefeated and untied 1946 squad to the inaugural Glass Bowl.〔Bergin, Thomas. ''The Game: The Harvard - Yale Football Rivalry, 1875-1983'', Yale University Press, New Haven/London, 1984.〕〔(Profile ), http://abacus.bates.edu/pubs/mag/96-Fall/sports-notes.html; accessed April 6, 2015.〕 Pond was a public relations executive after his career in athletics. ==Early life and playing career== Pond, after attending high school in Torrington, Connecticut, his birthplace, and the Hotchkiss School, was a member of the Yale Class of 1925, and a 1924 first-team All-American at halfback. Pond starred in the 1923 edition of The Game. He was nicknamed "Ducky" by Grantland Rice for returning a fumble 63 yards that afternoon against Harvard on a field that resembled "seventeen lakes, five quagmires and a water hazard".〔''New York Herald Tribune'', November 25, 1923.〕 Yale hadn't scored a touchdown versus Harvard since the end of World War I.〔 As an undergraduate at Yale, Pond also played on the baseball team, where he was coached by Smoky Joe Wood.
