Hall of Athletic Honor
He was to Gettysburg what Red Grange was to Illinois. His greatest exploits came as a running back in football, but he did letter two years in basketball and competed in track.
As a senior, he ranked fifth among all eastern college scorers and he received All-America recognition by the legendary Walter Camp. He was the last of Gettysburg's great drop-kickers.
Highlights of his careers included his great off-tackle runs and strong rushes in a 19-19 tie against a Dick Harlow-coached Western Maryland; a field goal in 1925 which defeated F&M 3-0, came off the bench in 1926 to score two touchdowns in a win over Roanoke; a desperation tackle closing minutes to preserve 0-0 tie against Bucknell; and two extra points in 1928 which beat Bucknell 14-12.
A native of York, Pa., he received a degree in math.
