1906

Dallas Carl "Dal" Ward (August 11, 1906 – February 15, 1983) was an American football, basketball, and baseball player and coach.

1920

Ward grew up in northeastern Oregon on a ranch near Lexington and played college football at Oregon Agricultural College in Corvallis in the 1920s, where he started every game of his collegiate career.

1928

After graduation from Oregon State, Ward taught in Minneapolis and became head coach at Marshall High in 1928, helped with a letter of recommendation written by Knute Rockne.

1936

In 1936, he joined the staff at the University of Minnesota as an assistant coach.

During World War II, Ward served as officer-in-charge of physical and military training at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Dallas, Texas.

After the war, he returned to Minnesota as backfield coach.

1948

He was the head football coach at the University of Colorado in Boulder from 1948 to 1958, compiling a career record of 63–41–6 in eleven seasons.

Ward became the head coach at Colorado in 1948, succeeding James J. Yeager.

In his first two seasons, his teams won three games each for a 6–13 record, but those were his only losing seasons.

1950

Ward is credited with bringing the Colorado Buffaloes football program to national prominence in the 1950s.

1952

Although no official reason was stated, it was widely believed Ward was relieved because of his inability to defeat Oklahoma; his career record against the Sooners was 0–8–1, with the tie in 1952 in Boulder in the season opener, earning him UPI Coach of the Week honors.

1953

Over the course of the 1953 and 1954 seasons, Ward's Buffaloes won nine consecutive games.

1956

Following the 1956 regular season, his team won the Orange Bowl, Colorado's second (1938 Cotton Bowl being their first) bowl game, over Clemson, 27–21.

After winning the season-ending bowl game, Ward was offered the head coaching positions at USC and Minnesota, but declined those offers, believing the next few years with the Buffaloes would be even better.

Ward had earned tenure as a CU faculty member in 1956.

He chose to stay at Colorado and teach.

1959

However, they did not turn out as hoped, and, on January 23, 1959, Ward was asked to resign by the university regents but refused.

The regents reconsidered their actions, but amid many letters of protest mailed in, the original decision was kept and Ward was fired.

1962

He retired from coaching after his firing, then returned for one season in 1962, as a defensive coach on the staff of interim head coach Bud Davis.

1983

He and his wife Jane and their five children remained in Boulder, where he died of cancer at age 76 in 1983.

The CU athletic administration center, located at the north end of Folsom Field, was named after him.

2007

As of 2007, Ward is one of only three multi-sport inductees in the hall of fame at Oregon State, where he was inducted in 1997.
