When the season is over and the football team is only a memory, we sometimes forget the ingredients that are necessary for its success. individuality is sacrificed in order to produce a cohesive group-all efforts are for the whole. Sometimes the strict discipline of practice and training rules cause tem- pers to flare. Then the voice of a coach is heard . . . okay boys, save it for the game. . . , then the work goes on. Each man on the team has a memory too. He knows a consummate satisfaction at having done his best. His loyalty has been well displayed. 97

Earl Dutch Clark. Earl Dutch Clark, the head coach for the Titans the past three years, has been an inspiration to the players and has nur- tured a spirit of determination which is the essence of U. of D. gridiron action. This spirit was well manifested this year when the Titans tied for the Missouri Valley Cham- pionship. His excellent leadership was recognized when he was selected Coach of the Year for i952 in the conference. Coach Clark has seen his last season as head coach. Upon his resignation to enter into private business, the position Wally Fromhart, new head coach. passed to Wally Fromhart, his assistant. Mr. Fromhart is more than capable as a coach and we expect the '54 season to be a continued success, with the aid 'of his excellent staff. A winning team.depends on much more than iust a fast, impenetrable line. It de- pends on many hours of exhausting prac- tice on intricate plays and formations. The process of building such a team depends on the guidance and instructions each player receives individually and the coordination of each into an organized force. This is the role of our coaches. Ken Stlley, Wally Fromhart, Dutch Clark, Ray Forsythe, and Eddie Barbour.

I. IC S PREPARATICNS The sweat and exhaustion of the practice field is a means to a successful season and so the '53 Titans strain against the blocking pads. Darkness calls a halt to practice and the weary men file, into the locker room . . . tired but happy. A locker-room door fails to completely stifle the murmuring from the stands as the players don their uniforms. Heads are bowed and the most vital act of preparation floats through the transom ....
