Rex Enright, who was once an
All-Midwestern fullback under
Knute Rockne at Notre Dame, is
now beginning his 16th year as
head coach at the University of
South Carolina. during this
period, Enright has served as ac
tive coach for 13 years, and spent
three years of his life with Uncle
Sam serving as an officer in the
Navy.
Si.nee the new Atlantic Coast
Conference has been formed, En
right can legally claim that he
is qualified to be dean since he
has served as head mentor at the
university longer than any other
in the school's history.
During his years at Carolina,
this head coach has had a very
good iecord, not only with the
staunch rival Clemson teams, but
also his all-time opponents. Such
major teams as Tennessee, North
Carolina, Georgia Tech, Maryland,
Duke, Virginia, Villanova, Miami,
Tulsa, West Virginia, Kansas
State, Marquette, and many others
have fallen the victim of his well
coached teams.
Coach Enright, as the athletic
director of the school, has deve
loped an excellent, well-rounded
program of athletic events here
at the university. His intimate
decalings wvith the athletes undlel
his jurisdiction have gained him

Besides griabbinrg miiembersh ip to

many college boys the incentive
to play ball. His influence on
their leaders-hip ability will last
them a lifetime.
Enright was the president of the
Southern Conference Athletic Di
rectors Association before the
University. along with six other
school, seceded from the confer
ence and formed the new Atlantic
Coast Conference. He has also
held the position of president of
the coaches association, along with
being on the basketball, football,
and boxing committees of the
Southern Conference.
Knute Rockne, the famous mas
ter coach of the never-to-be
forgotten teams at Notre Dame,
had to be persuaded quite ardently
before consenting to give Enright
an athletic scholarship. However,
this head master never regretted
for one moment having done so.
Enright went on to be named to
All-lidwestern teams.
Enright spent a large portion of
his time on the bench the first
(ouple of years, having entered
the scene at the time of the
famed "Four Horsemen." How

the graduations of the All
Americans, he was widely public
