Principia College, 1968
That's me #42 following Alex Smith and Buz Brewster. Principia College is a little Division 3 liberal arts school across the river from St Louis, Mo. Its beautiful campus was almost bought by the US gov't for the Air Force Academy but Colorado Springs was chosen instead. One of the advantages of little schools like this is that guys like me, 165 lbs back then, could play college ball. It was a highlight of my youth and remains a great memory! I hope to put a video up of my famous "steal the bacon" play against Southwestern, Memphis, Tenn in 1967. They are digging it out of archives and I have offered whatever it takes to get it digitized!
