Peters' place at OU secure inductees in Hall of Fame
Ottawa University honors seven original inductees in a Saturday ceremony on the OU campus. Dick Peters, a legendary coach who died 16 years ago at 53, is remembered for his 129-42-3 mark, seven Kansas Conference titles, and pioneering approaches in weight programs and game philosophy. Inductees include assistants Boucek and Frear, who credit Peters with ahead-of-time coaching ideas.
