Dick was player and coach of the 1925 team, played for State when Hugo Bezdek was the coach there. He was assistant coach for Dick Harlowe, at Colgate, during the most outstanding gridiron days of the Red Raiders of the Chenango. He was the first N.F.L. coach to institute daily practice. During Rauch's tenure here, Dick Harlowe visited Dick Rauch virtually every week-end and was therefore an enthusiastic backer of the Maroons. Dick later lived in Harrisburg, Pa. and testified that verbal permission was granted the Maroons to play the Four Horsemen by telephone. Dick Rauch was born in 1892 at Harrisburg, Penns- ylvania. He graduated from Harrisburg Tech, Bethlehem Prep and Penn State College. Dick was also a Government Ornithologist, already retired in the early 1960's. |
