The late Roy Converse was a 1935 graduate of Centre who served a long and distinguished career as a Presbyterian minister. In his day, the Colonels were still playing against the biggest college football programs in the country. During his four years at Centre, Roy helped lead the Colonels to a combined record of 26-13-1, with wins against the likes of South Carolina, Louisville, Xavier, Morehead, Murray, and UT-Chattanooga. Roy was named to the All-Kentucky and the All-Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association teams on multiple occasions and was recognized as an “All-Dixie” guard for three consecutive years. He was captain of the 1934 football team and received the Lederer Trophy that year, which was given to the Most Valuable Colonel. Roy was also a member of the Centre basketball team.
