Dick Gregg, Columbus sophomore, was a\u00a0member of the 1942 undefeated freshman\u00a0basketball squad. Last fall, he donned the\u00a0helmet and shoulder pads, and went on the\u00a0gridiron.<\/p>\n

Although it was his first year of varsity\u00a0football in college, Dick held down his end\u00a0position like a veteran. His excellent playing ability and unbeatable spirit kept him in the starting line-up for nearly every\u00a0game. A strong man on defense and equally\u00a0strong on the offensive, he was one of\u00a0Gauthier’s valuable players.<\/p>\n

When the football season ended, Gregg’s\u00a0attention went to the basketball floor. The\u00a0competition for positions were keen, but Dick always managed to get in a good\u00a0many of the scraps. However, he was\u00a0handicapped by an ankle injury early in\u00a0the season which slowed him down. Dick’s\u00a0ability to handle the ball, and his sharp\u00a0eye, showed up well on the varsity, but\u00a0they really shown in intramural competition.\u00a0As Gregg will be back next fall in the\u00a0Navy program, it is expected that he will\u00a0be one of the prominent athletes in both\u00a0football and basketball.<\/p>\n
