He was the head football coach at Saint Louis University, Saint Ambrose University, and the University of Saint Mary (Kansas). BiographyDuford was born on June 11, 1898 in Menomonie, Wisconsin.[1] Duford attended Niagara High School[2] and Marquette University, where he played football, baseball, and basketball.[3][3] Duford lettered in basketball from 1921 to 1923.[4] He graduated in 1924.[5] After college, he played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) for one season with the Green Bay Packers. He saw action in three games in 1924 as a halfback.[1] Duford began his college football coaching career with a two-year stint at the University of Saint Mary in Kansas. He then moved on to Saint Ambrose University in Iowa, where he coached from 1931 to 1939.[8] During his tenure there, Saint Ambrose posted a 60–10–7 record and secured four Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) championships.[5] Impressed by his winning record, St. Ambrose University signed Duford to a multi-year contract as its football coach. Duford served as both the head football coach and athletic director at Saint Louis from 1940 to 1947.[6] He also served as the basketball coach for the 1944–45 season and posted an 11–6 record.[7] Duford and his staff resigned from Saint Louis after the 1947 season in which the football team amassed a 4–6 record.[8] In his autobiography, Memories of a Hall of Fame Sportswriter, Bob Broeg called Duford his "candidate for the most noble coach of all."[9] In 1966, Duford was working as the Commissioner of the St. Louis Council on Human Relations,[10] which was set up to facilitate racial integration of the city.[11] Duford returned to Saint Louis University as its interim athletic director in 1967.[6] Duford was inducted into the Saint Louis University's Billiken Hall of Fame in 1995.[12] Duford died at his Missouri home in 1981 of a heart ailment.[13] References1. ^1 [https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DufoDu20.htm Dukes Duford], Pro Football Reference, retrieved June 24, 2010. {{navboxes|list={{Saint Mary Spires football coach navbox}}{{St. Ambrose Fighting Bees football coach navbox}}{{Saint Louis Billikens athletic director navbox}}{{Saint Louis Billikens football coach navbox}}{{Saint Louis Billikens men's basketball coach navbox}}2. ^Dukes Duford {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610103007/http://www.databasefootball.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=DUFORDUK01 |date=2011-06-10 }}, Database Football, retrieved July 1, 2010. 3. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NCEqAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4SoEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6734,1914789&dq=dukes-duford&hl=en A miss and a tip], The Milwaukee Journal, December 13, 1979. 4. ^All-Time Letterwinners, Marquette University, retrieved June 25, 2010. 5. ^1 2 [https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=k2ExAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ZyIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2732,5977130&dq=dukes-duford&hl=en St. Louis Signs Dukes Duford; Marquette Graduate Given Long Contract Because of St. Ambrose Record], The Milwaukee Journal, January 31, 1940. 6. ^1 2 [https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Ax8qAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6ycEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1470,1267370&dq=billikens+athletic-director&hl=en Former Coach Duford Named By St. Louis], The Milwaukee Journal, June 3, 1967. 7. ^Billiken Coaches (PDF), 2007-08 Men's Basketball Media Guide, p. 128, Saint Louis University, 2007. 8. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=jDAaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=GiUEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5118,2962514&dq=dukes-duford&hl=en Dukes Duford Out As Billikens Coach], December 6, 1947. 9. ^Bob Broeg, [https://books.google.com/books?id=VAP79DnqTMcC Bob Broeg: Memories of a Hall of Fame Sportswriter], p. 148, 1995, {{ISBN|1-57167-010-6}}. 10. ^[https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0710FB3F5F137A93C2AB1782D85F428685F9 HOUSING EQUALITY HITS A RAW NERVE; In St. Louis, as in Other Big Cities, the Idea of a Negro Neighbor Stirs Anxiety], The New York Times, September 20, 1966. 11. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=Z1YUwkHciXIC Victory without violence: the first ten years of the St. Louis Committee of Racial Equality (CORE), 1947-1957], p. 86, 2003, {{ISBN|0-8262-1303-0}}. 12. ^Billiken Hall of Fame Members {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716092444/http://www.slubillikens.com/boosters/stlo-boosters-hof-members.html |date=2011-07-16 }}, Saint Louis University, retrieved July 1, 2010. 13. ^"Ex-SLU director dies", Pacific Stars and Stripes, Tuesday, May 12, 1981, Tokyo, Japan, Japan }}{{DEFAULTSORT:Duford, Dukes}} 15 : 1898 births|Green Bay Packers players|Marquette Golden Avalanche football players|Saint Louis Billikens athletic directors|Saint Louis Billikens football coaches|Saint Louis Billikens men's basketball coaches|Saint Mary Spires football coaches|St. Ambrose Fighting Bees football coaches|St. Ambrose Fighting Bees men's basketball coaches|People from Menomonie, Wisconsin|Players of American football from Wisconsin|Basketball players from Wisconsin|Baseball players from Wisconsin|1981 deaths|American men's basketball players |
