Garrett, who was captain of the Rushville High School team which won the 1947 basketball chambionship, had originally planned to enter the University of California, but was persuaded by Nate Kauffman, Shelbyville; Herman Wells, president of In diana University, and “Bo” Mc Millin, the university’s football coach, to change his mind.
