Twice he was an All Conference end, once an All Conference cager and a track standout. His UND career spanned 1929-31. "We waxed NCAD three straight years I was playing and that was a standout for me. We also remember our 1930 Army game at West Point when I caught a pass and lateraled to Red Jarrett, who scored. UND and Notre Dame were the only teams to score on Army that year," Nip said.
