Arthur August Schabinger (August 6, 1889 – October 13, 1972) was an American football and basketball coach and college athletics administrator. Schabinger is credited (although disputed) with throwing the first forward pass in college football history.[1] Even if it was not the first forward pass, most certainly Schabinger was one of the early adopters and innovators of the play.
