Ralph coached St. Ignatius to its first city championship in 1925. The Wildcats' record from 1923 through 1926 under him was so impressive, that he was asked to coach at John Carroll University.

In 1935, Ralph left John Carroll to practice law, however he still stayed in sports by officiating at high school, college and NFL games.
