1952 Big 10 wrestling champion from Purdue recently passed away. He was the wrestling coach and Biology teacher at my high school TF North in Calumet City, Illinois. He was a great teacher and beloved as a coach. Recently though long overdue the wrestling room was dedicated to him. I am sure like many coaches he made a huge impact on his wrestlers life. Heaven forbid if you were of Mexican descent and didn't come out for the team. If you didn't play football he had you out for the Cross Country team to stay in shape. Though he coached in Illinois with his Purdue backround I wanted to add this here. As an aside I did not wrestle in high school.
