After starting the football program at Jordan College in Menominee, he spent 39 years at Northwestern College in Watertown, Wis., a school for ministers of fewer than 200 students and coached football, basketball, baseball, tennis and wrestling, often without assistance.  He was 135-64-9 in football and won or shared 11 conference titles.  His 1946-47 basketball team was 20-1.  He died in 1996.
