University of Michigan captain and three year letter winner, he helped 1932 33 Wolverines win consecutive national titles, later earning MVP honors in 1934 and playing in the East West Shrine Game. Despite NFL offers he pursued Yale coaching before Naval service, then rose to the presidency at 61, excelling in swimming skiing and tennis, even as a golf shot occasionally hit spectators.
