Hall of Athletic Honor
The 6'2", 190-pound football end from Steelton, Pa., started at right end against Penn State in his very first collegiate game. In that same sophomore year, he scored 104 points, third highest on the basketball team. In fact, he teamed with Tom Weems in beating SMU, the defending Southwest Conference champs. In 1939, his late game scoring efforts gave Gettysburg its first win in the Penn Palestra when the Bullets defeated Penn.
His brightest football day was November 11, 1939. He kicked three extra points, scored a touchdown and set up another score with a fumble recovery as Gettysburg tied arch rival F&M 21-21.
He returned to his Alma Mater as football coach, assuming the head job in 1952. During his five years at the helm, his teams won 32 and lost 11. He left Gettysburg to become the head coach at Harvard.
