Hall of Fame
Ted Rohwer ranks as one of Washington State's greatest all-around athletes, earning 9 letters from 1926-1929 in football, basketball and baseball. A graduate of Spokane's North Central High, he played for three of the greatest coaches in Cougar history, Babe Hollingbery's first three gridiron teams, Jack Friel's first basketball team in 1929, and as a shortstop and first baseman on Buck Bailey's first three baseball teams. During his football career, the Cougars went 17-7-2, including a 6-1 season in 1926 and a 7-3 finish in 1928, after which he was selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game. In basketball, Rohwer was among the top scorers for the Cougars each of his three seasons.  On the diamond, Rohwer was one of WSU's top home run hitters leading the Cougars to a 60-27 record. He later turned down pro offers from the Buffalo Bisons (football) and the St. Louis Cardinals (baseball).Â
