Cornell University Athletics

He came to Cornell in 1920 after earning fame in several sports at Ottawa College and thereafter in amateur and professional sports alike. As an athlete he was one of the fastest hockey skaters anywhere, was known to have drop-kicked field goals of over 50 yards in football, and was also a standout in lacrosse, soccer, track and baseball. At Cornell he coached soccer and hockey from 1920 until his death in 1947 and was head lax coach from 1920 to 1939. In 1932 he was called upon to coach Canada[apos]s Olympic track and field team. Perhaps he earned his greatest renown at Cornell from 1937 and 1947 when he was appointed supervisor of intramurals. His programs became increasingly popular with Cornell students. His personal contact with students on the teams he coached and the intramural sports he supervised made him one of the best-known figures on campus. His coaching record did not reflect his true worth as a coach. His best mark was in soccer where he was 85-80-24 and won three League championships. He was born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada.
