Hall of Fame
A three-year letterwinner for the Cougar football team (1928-30), Harold Ahlskog arrived on campus from Spokane, Wash., helping WSC to a 26-6 record in his three seasons. After winning 10 games in 1929, a year in which he garnered all-state honors, Ahlskog and his teammates won their first nine games of 1930, earning a trip to the 1931 Rose Bowl where WSC fell to Alabama. The 1930 Washington State College football team featured three All-Americans on the offensive line and while Mel Hein and Glenn "Turk" Edwards captured many of the headlines, Ahlskog matched them for his work in the trenches that season. Ahlskog was a New York Post First Team All-America selection and received the 1930 J. Fred Bohler Award. Ahlskog earned a degree in science in mining in 1932.
