Dudley Stegge had passion for Southern


After back-to-back undefeated seasons as Carl Junction High School's football coach, Dudley Stegge came to Joplin Junior College in 1951 to coach football and track.

Stegge coached at the junior college until 1964 when he became dean of students. From 1967-69 he was dean of students at Missouri Southern, then director of the student union from 1969 until he retired in 1980 after 29 years at the college.

"He was well respected and did a good job," said Glenn Dolence, a former colleague at Missouri Southern. "I enjoyed working with him. He supported me 100 percent.

"Dudley recruited me at one time to come to Joplin Junior College when I graduated from high school in 1954. I went to Missouri Valley because I had a scholarship to go to (there). At Joplin Junior College, if you didn't make the first 18 or 20, you didn't have a scholarship, and to be quite honest, I knew if I didn't have a scholarship, I had no way of paying my fees."

"Dudley Stegge had a passion for football," said Jim Frazier, former Missouri Southern football coach and athletics director. "He had a passion for Missouri Southern, and I think he was a real fan of our football program.

"He was very generous and friendly to me. He and his wife welcomed me to Missouri Southern with open arms."

Stegge served in the Navy from 1942 to 1946, then played college football at Kansas State and Pittsburg State. He lettered for the Gorillas in 1946-47 and then began his coaching career at Carl Junction in 1948.

He was at Carl Junction for four years. His football team went 8-0 in 1950 and 7-0-1 in 1951, winning the TriCounty League title both years. Other Tri-League members were Sarcoxie, Jasper, Greenfield, Marionville, Pierce City, Alba and Miller.

Stegge died on Jan. 7, 1992, at the age of 68.
