The protagonist of one of the most famous plays in college football history when he went 69 yards the wrong way after scooping up a fumble at the Georgia Tech 30 in the 1929 Rose Bowl until teammate Benny Lom spun him around at the Cal one and he was tackled by the Yellow Jackets … that play may have obscured his many talents …  He earned first-team All-America honors in 1929 as a center as named by AP and Central Press … served as Cal team captain in 1929 and helped the Bears to a 7-1-1 record.
