 | | Coach Ron Schipper, among the most successful football coaches in America, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and one of the most influential figures in Central College (Iowa) history, passed away suddenly Sunday evening near his home in Holland, Mich. He was 77. |
 | | In 2000, the National Football Foundation inducted Schipper into the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Ind. He followed one of his former Central players, former NFL star defensive end Vern Den Herder, who was inducted in 1996. |
 | | "This is a great loss for his family, for the Central College community and for the college football coaching ranks," said athletics director Al Dorenkamp, who served as captain under Schipper for the 1974 Central football team which won the NCAA Division III title. |
