Inhaltsangabe:

Charles "Gus" Dorais (1891-1954) was the quarterback of Notre Dame's "Dorais to Rockne" tandem that revolutionized football's forward pass. A triple threat prep star from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, Dorais was a captain and undefeated four-year starter at Notre Dame, and the school's first consensus All-American in 1913. Over the next four decades, Dorais was a professional player in the pre-NFL days and a college football coach--notably at the University of Detroit--and then head coach of the Detroit Lions. During his career, he tallied more than 150 wins. A pioneer of offensive strategies, Dorais played with and coached against most of the prominent football legends of his time.
