He lettered in football for 3 seasons (1924-25-26) as a fullback, where he played in the Trojans' first bowl game (the 1925 Christmas Festival) and set the school career interception record (13) that stood for 15 years (he's still sixth on the list).

He later became a football coach at San Pedro High and was inducted into the San Pedro Sportswalk. The Varsity Lounge in USC's Heritage Hall was named in his honor. He died on Jan. 9, 1969, at age 65.
