William Edwin Arnold (May 16, 1894 – July 6, 1965) was an American college football player, referee, and hospital administrator.
He played as a quarterback for Mike Donahue's Auburn Tigers football team from 1911 to 1914.[1] In 1913, he showed he could handle quarterback duties, allowing Kirk Newell to move to his more natural position at halfback.[2][3] A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Arnold also played on the varsity basketball, baseball, and soccer teams as Auburn.[4]
By the 1920s, Arnold had begun officiating high school football in Florida.[5] He refereed the 1940 Sugar Bowl.[6] In 1957, he was on the Gator Bowl executive committee.[7]
Arnold served as executive vice president of St. Luke's Hospital in Jacksonville.[8] He was also the president of the Florida Hospital Association and vice president of the American Hospital Association (AHA).
Arnold died on July 6, 1965.[9]
