Claire kept right on helping her father after her marriage in 1930 to blond Clifford ("Biff") Hoffman, Stanford fullback and captain (1928).

...spring practice proved very strong in the production of fullbacks. Carl Bottenfield, Johnny West, Tom Ossman, and Bobby Ray all were on hand and looking good. Bottenfield, who was number one candidate for fullback before he was seriously injured a year ago, will be definitely on hand at the opening of practice, September...
