Top varsity performer at Lafayette Jefferson … helped win 3 straight sectionals, losing each year in regional championship game … lettered in football, track and golf … 3-year varsity player at Purdue … high scorer in first college game …  Boilermakers won or shared Big 10 title each season … though only 6-3, he had an uncanny knack of controlling the tip in the days of a center jump after every basket … that talent helped Purdue overcome a 15 point deficit in final 12 minutes of game with Michigan, with the victory giving the Boilers their third straight league crown … named to Indiana college all-stars … all Big Ten in ’36.
