    Walter Cooper ’50 teamed with Deacon Dan Towler to form one of the most feared backfields in all of college football during the mid-1900s. He lettered four years in football and one in track and field. Cooper was a member of the “Four Gazelles,” the talented backfield from 1949, which was considered the nation’s fastest tandem. He scored more than 10 touchdowns in each his sophomore and junior seasons. Also an accomplished track and field star, Cooper was ranked as one of the top five sprinters in the east.
