I was at NLU about the same time Duper was at Northwestern. I don't know the whole story. However, I think Duper was more of a track guy to begin with even at Northwestern.
They had some really talented guys through there at that time. I believe they won the NCAA 400M Relay one year. I think that relay had Duper, Joe Delaney, a rookie of the year RB with the Chiefs before he drowned (from Haughton), a guy named Victor Oatis (Winnsboro) who also played a little NFL wide receiver (Vikings as I recall), and I believe a kid from Airline in Bossier City. It has been a long time, but I think I have my facts straight.

They had Tommy Swacker from Crowley I believe as well, but he may have been a different time

You do indeed. The team they beat that night in BR that night (1981 in BR) was Georgia who's relay team included Herschel Walker and superstar world class sprinter/NFL receiver Mel Lattany.
