The National Association of Wabash Men inducted eight new members in the Wabash College Athletics Hall of Fame on the eve of the 115th Monon Bell Classic. Inducted (from left to right) were: Ryan Short ’03, Jake Knott ’03, Jim Cumming ’61, David Moore ’69, Kent Baker ’93, Dave Husted ’69, former football coach Greg Carlson, and Kelley House ’90.

Greg Carlson coached the Little Giant football team for 21 years, including 18 years as head coach. He ranks second all-time at Wabash with 112 victories, and won four conference titles in his career.

Dr. Jim Cumming ’61 was one of the finest rebounders in Wabash basketball history, twice averaging over 11 rebounds per game in the seasons of 1960 and 1961. He also holds Wabash's all-time record with 23 rebounds in one game.

David Husted ’69 was a bruising defensive player on the Wabash football team and one of the finest heavyweights in Wabash wrestling history. He earned a tryout with the Oakland Raiders following graduation from Wabash, and hung on with the team through training camp.

David Moore ’69 was a high-scoring guard for Coach Rusty Nichols' Little Giant basketball teams. He averaged more than 19 points over the course of his career, including a 24 points-per-game average in his senior, MVP season.

Kelley House ’90 was the ICAC Baseball MVP, earned four letters as a record-setting pitcher, and was a four-year letterman at linebacker for the football team. He recalled blocking a punt in the 1986 Monon Bell Game, his first, which was recovered for a touchdown that started a Wabash comeback victory.

Kent Baker ’93 was the first of a number of elite distance runners who helped establish Wabash as a national power in the 1990s. His fifth place finish at the National Championships remains the highest ever by a Wabash runner in the Division III meet. He earned four letters in track and four in cross country, and still owns the Wabash record in the 1500 meters.

Quarterback Jake Knott ’03 was a four-year starter for the Wabash football team, and he led the Little Giants to a perfect regular season and 12-1 record as a senior in 2002. Along the way, he set all-time records for most passing yards, total offense, passing touchdowns, and total touchdowns. He was a two-time NCAC Most Valuable Player.

Tight end Ryan Short ’03 redefined the position during his four-year starting career for the Wabash football team. He caught 70 or passes three times in his career, twice had seasons with 13 touchdown catches, and he set the Wabash single-season record with 17 TD catches in a 12-1 senior season. He was a two-time All-American and his 45 career touchdown passes is not only a Wabash record, it's an Indiana collegiate record, too.

On the eve of the 115th Monon Bell Classic, the NAWM inducted Ryan Short ’03 and Jake Knott ’03 in the Wabash Athletics Hall of Fame. Short and Knott helped Wabash win the 2001 Bell Game with the "Monon Miracle" last-second play, then a year later connected on four touchdown passes in the first half of a Wabash blowout victory in the 2002 Bell Game.
