| Transcript | Lee with Co-Captains Clapp and Carroll. Will they score? CLYDE V. LEE Head Football Coach "He never ceases to move forward," that's Coach Clyde Lee. He held the reins as the University of Houston Cougars went on to its greatest foetball season, by winning 8 and losing 2 against some of the top teams in the nation. Quite a feat for a team that has only been playing football seven years and quite a tribute to the coaching- staff. Entering his sixth year as head coach of the Cougars, he is just starting his climb to the top—a warning to the football world that the University of Houston is here to stay. A star end for the famed Centenary College Gentlemen of 1930-32, Lee began his coaching career at Overton, Texas, high school. After serving his apprenticeship in high school, Lee was named head mentor at Kilgore College. World War II found him in the Navy as a Director of Physical Training. In 1945 Coach Lee returned to Kilgore. Tulsa University beckoned him in 1946, as line coach until 1948, when he came to Houston as head coach. His all-time coaching record is 140 wins, 38 losses, and 7 ties. When you realize that a good number of these losses came during the days he was putting Houston on its football feet, his success is all the more remarkable. |
