Don Piper

Don Piper was a UCLA grad who played for the Universal Studios team and the U.S. Olympic team in 1936. Piper had an illustrious career in college and was probably the greatest collegiate player of the 1936 team, but he did not play as much afterwards. Piper’s business career began with a credit investigation firm but he later worked for a television distributor, eventually rising to general manager of that company. He died rather young and the eulogy at his funeral was given by fellow Olympian, Sam Balter.
