Some Famous People called Chick Evans
Chick Evans
Charles E. "Chick" Evans Jr. (July 18, 1890 – November 6, 1979) was an American amateur golfer of the 1910s and 1920s. Evans, who won the 1910 Western Open, became the first amateur to win both the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur in one year, a feat he achieved in 1916. Evans won the U.S. Amateur again in 1920, and was runner-up three times. Selected to the Walker Cup team in 1922, 1924, and 1928, he competed in a record 50 consecutive U.S. Amateurs in his long career. Evans achieved all of this while carrying only seven hickory-shafted clubs.
In addition to his golf career, Evans is known for founding the Evans Scholars Foundation, which provides a college scholarship for qualified caddies.
In 1960, Evans was voted the Bob Jones Award, the highest honor given by the United States Golf Association in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf. He is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.

George G. "Chick" Evans (June 18, 1901 – November 23, 1976) was an American football, basketball, and baseball coach and college athletics administrator. He served as the head football coach at Northern Illinois University from 1929 to 1954, compiling a record of 132–70–20. Evans was also the head basketball coach at Northern Illinois from 1929 to 1940, tallying a mark of 125–93, and served three stints at head baseball coach at the school (1930–1934, 1937–1944, 1946–1947), amassing a record of 118–115–3. Evans was the athletic director at Northern Illinois from 1929 to 1968. His 132 wins are the most of any head coach in the Northern Illinois Huskies football program's history.

He then moved on to the now-defunct Des Moines University in Des Moines, Iowa, which was later acquired by the University of Sioux Falls; this should not be confused with the present Des Moines University. At Des Moines, Evans won 11 varsity letters and captained teams in four different sports directed by head coach Harry M. Bell.
Evans began his coaching career at Boone High School in Boone, Iowa, where he spent four years before moving to DeKalb High School in DeKalb, Illinois for one year before becoming head football coach and athletic director of what was then Northern Illinois State Teachers College in 1929. As athletic director and coach, Evans oversaw Northern’s growth from a teacher’s college to a major university.
Evans later earned a master's degree from Columbia University. He died on November 23, 1976, at Kearney-Mesa Convalesclent Hospital in San Diego, California after a short illness. Evans and his wife, Venus, had moved there following his retirement as athletic director at Northern Illinois in 1968.
