James Dincolo was a standout two-way lineman for the Terrier football squad for fours years until he graduated in 1930.
Recruited out of Medford High School by coaches Reggie Brown and Eddie Robinson, Dincolo was starting as a freshman. Teaming with center Art Dorfman and guard Chauncey French, the trio dubbed the "Three Mules", did not allow a single touchdown as a unit in three years.
At 5-foot-9 and 220 pounds, Dincolo may seem almost slight by today's comparisons but for his time he was as solid as they came. He was rarely injured during his career, and was named to the All-New England squad.
He graduated BU with a master's degree in Accounting and enjoyed a distinguished career. He became Professor Emeritus in Accounting at Notre Dame and headed the CPA Board of Indiana.
