Charles A. Knapp graduates in 1936 and becomes the first and only Drexel Dragon to play professionally in both baseball and football for the Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles, respectively. His athleticism was evident when he was a student: He lettered in all four seasons in baseball and football (where he captained both teams) and played three years of basketball, too. He is inducted into Drexel Athletics’ Hall of Fame in 1995.
