Ron didn't win a job with the Patriots right away. It took Coach Mike Holovak, newly appointed in 1961, to see to it that the Patriots signed Ron. The back won his starting role during an impressive training camp in 1962. At college, Ron was a track star in the dash and broad jump events. He was chosen All-Conference in both his junior and senior years at Missouri Valley.
