Enthusiasm, unlimited energy, leadership and constant optimism made Bernie Dallas a great athlete and man.
Dallas was a two-year letterwinner in football for UMass and earned first team all-Yankee Conference and all-New England honors. He also served as team captain during his senior season.
As a sophomore he played offensive center and defensive linebacker and was a spark plug on the undefeated 8-0-1 team that captured the school's first outright Yankee Conference football title.
Following his UMass career, Dallas went on to play professionally for the Philadelphia Bulldogs.
An automobile accident took Dallas' life on April 29, 1968, but the Dallas Memorial Mall across from the East side of McGuirk Stadium keeps his name and spirit alive.
Dallas was inducted into the UMass Athletic Hall of Fame in 1971.
