Wabash College Athletics

A Chicago native, Booie lettered in football, basketball, and baseball. On the diamond, Booie handled the shortstop chores for a Little Giant squad which regularly defeated the likes of Butler, Franklin, and DePauw. On the court, he served as the ball handler for the Wabash cagers, who played Big Ten teams such as Purdue, Indiana, and Northwestern, and who in 1935 won the Indiana Secondary College Basketball Championship.

On the gridiron, Snyder starred as a kick returner and receiver, and he captained the team in 1935. His 85-yard touchdown punt return in the 1933 Butler game stands today as a Wabash record. For his pass catching skills he received, in 1934 and 1935, Secondary College All-State recognition. Snyder's reception for the lone Wabash touchdown his junior year helped the Little Giants to a 7-6 victory and Wabash's first possession of the Monon Bell.

He retired in 1979 after forty-two years with Midstates Steel and Wire Company and Acme Steel Company.
