Fay G. Moulton

Fay G. Moulton was the fifth head football coach for the Kansas Agricultural College (now called the Kansas State Wildcats) in Manhattan, Kansas and he held that position for the 1900 season. His overall coaching record at Kansas State was 2 wins, 4 losses, and 0 ties. As of the conclusion of the 2007 season, this ranks him 22nd at Kansas State in terms of total wins and 18th at Kansas State in terms of winning percentage.

Moulton was the last football coach at what is now Kansas State to not play a game against the University of Kansas.

1900 Season Overview
During his year of coaching at Kansas State, his team was outscored by opponents 47-100, with the two victories against Fairmont College (now called Wichita State University) under Harry Hess and Kansas Wesleyan University.

Low attendance
Unlike teams under modern-day head football coaches Bill Snyder and Ron Prince, Kansas State football did not draw huge crowds in 1900. After K-State lost a home football game with Kansas State Normal (now Emporia State University by a score of 11-0, one reporter wrote that "The only disgraceful feature of the whole game was the crowd that witnessed it....The gate receipts did not pay one-third of the expenses....Not until there can be free co-operation of both students and college authorities for the support of the cause can K.A.C. ever hope to be successful on the intercollegiate athletic field."

Acadmeic suspensions
Later that season, Coach Moulton placed approximately one-third of his team on academic suspension for failing mid-term exams. The team was still victorious in their game of the week against Kansas Weslyan, one of two wins for the season.
