Governor Eugene Talmadge appointed Beaver a brigadier general in the Georgia State Militia. He was thus often known as "General Sandy Beaver".[7] He is a member of the school's sports Hall of Fame.[8]
During his coaching career Beaver coached Riverside, University School For Boys (Stone Mountain), and Donald Fraser.[9][10] At the University School his quarterback was Kid Woodruff.[11]
