John B. Ambrose '32

Inducted March 10, 1978

"... his prowess on the athletic field eclipsed all other accomplishments during his four years with us. He has been the "Rock of Gibraltar" of the Cardinals front line, a fact which is supported by sportswriters who picked him as the All-District center during his three years of varsity football. The actions of this platinum flash will linger long in the memories of C.U. basketball followers."
-p. 30, 1932 Cardinal

Ambrose was captain of both the football and basketball team and later played for the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National Pro Football League. His blocking undoubtedly helped Lester Sheary and Thomas Whelan earn their way into the Hall of Fame.
