Bertram Cecil "Stumpy" Banks (July 12, 1898 – November 15, 1960) was an American college football player and athletic director. He was a prominent running back, receiving five varsity letters for the Clemson Tigers.[1] He scored five touchdowns against Furman in 1917 for a school record.[2] He caught two touchdowns against rival South Carolina in 1916.[3] Banks was captain of both the 1918 and 1919 teams. He was selected All-Southern by John Heisman.[4] After college, he was the athletic director at Claflin University.
