Cornell University Athletics

After two years in Europe as a field artillery officer in World War II, he was appointed as an assistant in sports information at Cornell in 1946 and became director in 1949. He served in that capacity until his retirement in November 1976. In the mid-1950s he was instrumental in the launching of the Eastern College Athletic Conference service bureau in New York and was a charter member of the College Sports Information Directors of America. In 1977 CoSIDA inducted him into its Hall of Fame and was given a life-time membership in the organization. He was involved in publicizing many of the University's greatest athletes and teams. Among the athletes were football All-American and NCAA rushing record-holder Ed Marinaro; football's Gary Wood and Pete Gogolak; and hockey goalie Ken Dryden. He edited a book, Cornell Football 1949-76, From Home Game Programs, which is a two-volume series.
