HEY BUTCH YOU STILL GOT GAME


"Butch" Snethen

So, Elmer Snethen's sister sends an email to the new Temple basketball coach, Fran Dunphy. She wants to get a Temple jersey with Elmer's old number when he played at Temple in the 1960's. She eventually gets a reply telling her to give him a call. She does and begins explaining who Elmer is. Coach Dunphy interrupts her by saying, "Is this the same 'Butch' Snethen who used to play at Aronimink?" It so happened that he played pickup games in college with some of the "older" guys who had graduated. Here is "Butch" with his jersey.
