Under Coach Wallace Wade (1931-1950), the Duke football team was renowned nationwide. During his time as coach, Duke won seven Southern Conferences and made two Rose Bowl appearances, including a four-year period where the “Iron Dukes” ran undefeated. Following Wade's retirement, Duke would win six Atlantic Coast Conference championships between 1953 and 1962. The Athletics department produced various vivid, colorful programs to advertise the games.
