With the calm, cool, precision of a well trained athlete, "Hank" stormed the gymnasiums of the East coast to become one of the finest two-hand set shot artists in Gettysburg history. He was one of the most consistent players of his day, not only because of his scoring ability, but because of his ball handling and defense. That same consistency was exhibited against the likes of Princeton, Virginia, Georgetown and Penn State as well as against Lehigh, Lafayette and Franklin and Marshall.

He averaged 11 points a game his sophomore year and three times during the season his set shots provided the game winning points. He averaged 13 points a contest in his last two years. He was the team leader his senior year despite the fact all five starters averaged double-figures.

The highlight of his senior year came in February when he cut loose with a record 75-foot shot which served as the impetus for a 96-91 win over Bucknell.
