American football player and coach (1910–1977)
Joshua Dallas "Dal" Marvil (October 24, 1910 – March 12, 1977)[1] was an American football player and coach. He played at the tackle position for the Northwestern Wildcats football team and was a consensus first-team All-American in 1931. He played for three Big Ten Conference championship teams at Northwestern University , two in football (1930, 1931) and one in basketball (1930–31). He also served as an assistant football coach at the University of San Francisco .
Early years [ edit ]
Marvil was raised in Laurel, Delaware . He played basketball and was a "weight man" for the track team at Laurel High School.[2]
Northwestern [ edit ]
Marvil played college football at the tackle position for Northwestern University .[2] In 1930, he helped lead the Wildcats football team to a Big Ten Conference championship and was selected by the Associated Press as a second-team All-Western player.[3] In 1931, he was selected as the team captain,[4] led the Wildcats to their second consecutive Big Ten championship,[5] and was a consensus first-team member of the 1931 College Football All-America Team .[6] Marvil was six feet, three inches, and weighed 233 pounds while playing football at Northwestern.[7]
Marvil was a member of Beta Theta Pi [2] and also played basketball at Northwestern.[5] Despite his size, weighing 254 pounds in December 1929, he reportedly "handle[d ] his bulk well" on the basketball court.[8] Northwestern's 1931 basketball team won the Big Ten championship and compiled a record of 16-1.[9] The Chicago Daily Tribune in October 1931 commented on Marvil's weight: "Dal's chassis is of such a roly poly nature that it is very deceptive to his opponents. He has proved conclusively that a boy who looks blubbery may have plenty of muscle and sinew concealed about him."[2]
Later years and legacy [ edit ]
In February 1932, Marvil was hired to serve during the 1933 season as the head line coach for the University of San Francisco football team.[10] [11] In April 1933, he became engaged to Dorothy Florence Ames of LaGrange, Illinois , who he met while attending Northwestern.[12] As of 1946, he was the president of the "N Men's club."[13]
Marvil died in Broward County, Florida , on March 12, 1977, at the age of 66.[14]
In 1978, he was inducted into the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame .[15]
