  Malo is a native of Fairmount, Minn., and lettered as a great football guard 1930-32. He was a three-year starter at guard, playing both ways, and twice an all conference guard. The late Red Jarrett once said of Malo: "He was the toughest, quickest and smartest offensive guard I ever saw, coached or played with or against." He delights in telling of the famous UND game against Los Angeles "Firemen" (Pacific Coast All Americans) whom the Sioux beat 14-9 Christmas Day 1930 when "I was backing up the line and they three consecutive plays through the center of the line and I tackled Don Moses (USC All American the year before) and they had to help him off the field."
