Dan Mullinax - basketball and track (shot put)

Don Mulnix? Was supposed to be the big man that basketball needed and was from Colorado. But in true Deacon fashion, he slipped on ice here and ruined his knee.

My parents visited campus for some reason and ran into Tony Rutland (one of my favorites) in the Deacon Shop. Brought back a Deacon Shop business card with his signature on it for ~8 year old me. I still have it somewhere.
