During his this two-year stint, he went 29–3 (.906) He then moved to coaching jobs in Illinois, South Dakota and Utah.[1]

He was named a full professor in the physical education department in 1947; he was named chairman of the department in 1948 and retired in 1952. He held positions as the track & field and cross-country coach, as well as the freshman basketball coach, in addition to teaching courses on physical education during his tenure.
