Fuzz and his fellow athletes became emirssaries for the College, recruiting other players and raising money for uniforms. The College emissaries were successful in setting the stage for future success. During Fuzz's second season, the College recorded its first win since the revival with a 64-0 win over Fort Scott. The Scotties finished that season with 7-2 record. Fuzz's 1100 yards as primary receiver still ranks 4th in the College records. In addition to football, Fuzz lettered two years in basketball and track.
