Bogart inducted to Guelph hall of fame
By Pat Bolen
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER — "Forty
seven years since I last
played, it doesn't seem
possible," said Exeter
resident Ron Bogart
who was inducted into
the 2006 University of
Guelph Gryphon Hall of
Fame Sept. 22.
Honoured at the
induction celebration at
Peter Clark Hall at the
university were wrestler
Zoltan Hunyady, football
players Bogart and Jack
Raithby as well as for-
mer multi -sport athlete
Carl Jackson.
Along with the individ-
ual inductees, the 1992
OUAA champion men's
Golf team was also rec-
ognized.
Bogart, a former
teacher and coach at
South Huron District
High School, was a
member of the 1955 and
1958 Guelph champi-
onship teams playing
offensive halfback and
defensive safety.
In 1958, he won the
league scoring title and
led Guelph to victory in
the President's Cup.
During his career at
Guelph, he was named
Player of the
Week on two
occasions, was
co -captain of the
football team in
1959 and was a
member of the
Athletics'
Council in 1957
and 1958.
Bogart said he
was convinced
to attend the
University of
Western Ontario in 1954
although he had
planned to attend
Guelph.
After a short time at
UWO, Bogart said he
made the switch to
Guelph.
Although not eligible
to play in the 1955 sea-
son, Bogart was ready
in 1956 when Guelph
got a new coach in 1956
with the introduction of
Tom Mooney who
Bogart said he liked.
"He was young and
energetic." said
Bogart.
Although
Guelph didn't
have much tal-
ent, Bogart said
they had a lot of
energy and spir-
it.
Mooney was a
tough coach,
according to
Bogart who said
Mooney tried to
install an attitude that
the players would take
their dislike of the coach
out on the opposition.
Bogart said the team
used to run up and
down a hill at the uni-
Ron Bo
gart
veristy so many times
"frontwards, back-
wards, and sideways,"
that he still can't look at
since it has too many
bad memories.
The key to his game,
said Bogart, was speed,
with records held in the
100 and 220 yard track
and field distances.
"I had a good relation-
ship with Tom," said
Bogart who said the
coach told him he could
have played as a run-
ning back with any
American college.
The induction week-
end was a great time,
said Bogart who attends
every year since there is
usually someone he
knows being inducted.
"It was one of the
nicer ones we've had,"
said Bogart of the week-
end.
