Dick Roush earned three varsity letters each in baseball and soccer, and he was considered one of Bucknell's best multi-sport athletes in his era. Roush was a pitcher on the baseball team and compiled an 11-5 career record. In 1950 he was 5-1 with a 2.49 earned run average, and he helped lead the Bison to conference titles in 1950 and 1951. He also played some right field at Bucknell and later played semipro ball in Nova Scotia.

Roush was a fullback in soccer and captained the team his senior year. In 1948 he helped lead the squad to its second straight Middle Atlantic States Soccer Conference title, and a year later Bucknell lost in double overtime in the conference final. Roush graduated as part of the winningest soccer class in school history at the time.
