Ray Walsh was one of Fordham's best tennis players in the 1930's serving as the Rams' number one singles player for three seasons. A fierce competitor, Walsh liked to run around using his backhand and possessed a swooping forehand described by contemporaries as "murderous".
He and his doubles partner, Vic Del Gurcio, went undefeated during Walsh's junior and senior years, combining for 15 straight doubles victories.
After graduation, Walsh helped found Fordham's tennis club, in which he remained an active participant throughout the 1950's and 1960's. Walsh graduated from Fordham Law School in 1942 and in 1947 went to work for the New York Football Giants as the team's vice-president.
