From The Indianapolis Star, Saturday, March 20, 1926: Paul D. “Tony” Hinkle has been named athletic director of Butler University succeeding Pat Page, according to an announcement by Arthur Brown, chair of the athletic committee of the board of trustees. Present plans have Hinkle coaching football, baseball, and basketball and until a track coach is appointed, he will also devote a good part of his time to the Blue and White thinly-clads. A graduate of the University of Chicago, Hinkle came to Butler in 1920 as Page’s assistant and as the baseball coach. He also coached freshman football and basketball while assisting with varsity football and basketball, too. The Butler board of trustees has received numerous petitions from alumni and students advocating for the retention of Hinkle as athletic director, and the student body was highly pleased with the decision.
