Patrick Edward "Bunny" Larkin (March 17, 1882 – August 18, 1948) was an American physician, college football coach, and baseball manager. He served as a co-head coach alongside William Lang for the Maryland Agricultural College (now the University of Maryland) in 1909. Larkin was also an assistant football coach at Cornell University, the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and Georgetown University. He worked for many years as a team physician for the Washington Senators baseball team.
Larkin was born on March 17, 1882, in Ithaca, New York, where he received his early education.[1] He played as a quarterback for Ithaca High School.[2] Larkin played baseball as a catcher for the Haverling team.[3] He enrolled at Cornell University for his undergraduate education in 1902,[3] and played on the football team. The Elmira Morning Telegram wrote, "He was a fast, tricky end, who knew all of the possibilities of the position."[4]
Larkin attended the Georgetown University School of Medicine, from which he graduated in 1908.[1] He earned a varsity letter on the Georgetown football team in 1904.[5] After college, Larkin held an internship with the Providence Hospital in Washington, D.C.[1]
