Harvard Athletic Achievements

One of Harvard’s greatest matmen, he stands alone as the only Crimson representative to win both Eastern Intercollegiate and National Collegiate titles. He accomplished the feat in the 175-pound class in 1938, when he captained the team and was voted the outstanding wrestler in the Eastern Tournament. He and Chief Boston are Harvard’s only two Eastern Champions.
