Slack was an outstanding athlete for the Bears in the late-1930s. He excelled in baseball where he played under legendary coach Pete Butler. Perhaps best known for pitching both ends of a doubleheader sweep against Regis (May 13, 1939), Slack earned the nickname "Iron Man" for this incredible performance. He also participated in football and wrestling. Prior to his death in 1990, Slack was inducted into the Pueblo Sports Hall of Fame (1974) and honored with the UNC Distinguished Alumni Award (1976).
