TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Legendary Indiana State alumnus and professor emeritus Duane Klueh has given $100,000 to create the Duane and Mary Alice Klueh Endowment in support of the men's basketball program.
The gift will honor the longstanding connection Klueh and his late wife have with the university.
Klueh was an All-America basketball player at Indiana State in 1948. Under coach John Wooden, he led the Sycamores to second place in the NAIA tournament. He played two seasons in the early years of the NBA and was also a star in tennis, a sport he played into his 80s.
