A native of Chillicothe, Clark was an all-conference and honorable mention all-America halfback in 1926. He holds special distinction, having scored all of his touchdowns in three consecutive upset victories over Nebraska- 9-6 in 1925, 14-7 in 1926, and 7-6 in 1927. He later spent 44 years as a coach, athletic director and college administrator at Principia College in Elsah, Ill., where the football stadium is named for him. His grandson, Tim, was an all-conference infielder on the Missouri baseball team in the mid-1980s. Clark, who was a gold medalist at the Senior Olympics in 1985, lived in St. Louis until his death in 2001.
