He led the Trojans in rushing and scoring in 1925 and 1926 (he was the nation's leading scorer in 1925 and set a USC career scoring mark that stood until 1971). A three-year letterman (1924-26) USC went 28-6 during his career. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1972 and died in 1991 at the age of 88.
