Contributor. While coaching at Chester High School in 1934, he invented the six-man football game that spread quickly across the country. Small schools took to it so they could continue to enjoy the sport. The rules called for three linemen and three backs. Everyone was eligible to receive passes. 

At one time, some 2,000 schools played the six-man game. Life Magazine, Time, Readers Digest, Newsweek and other leading publications of the day gave significant coverage to his invention. The game continued to flourish for the rest of the century.
