Edmund "Hop" Hickey '34, who is being posthumously honored, competed in football, track and field, and basketball as an undergraduate. A two-year basketball captain who was a high-scoring forward, Hickey was described by hall of fame member Eddie Sawyer '35 as one of Ithaca's top athletes in the 1930s. He played fullback in football and was one of the team's leading blockers. In addition, he competed for Ithaca in the weights in track and field.
