Playing football three years for Wally Marks and one season for Arthur Strum, Selge was an Indiana All-State selection at center. The 1940, '41, and '42 teams recorded marks of 5-1-2, 5-2, and 4-3 and were one of the powerhouses in the area.
 
Selge was also a member of the Indiana State boxing team before his 1943 graduation.  Paul then served in the military during World War II and was recalled for service during the Korean conflict, which interrupted his coaching career at ISU.
 
Coaching swimming, track and football for Indiana State, Selge has long been an instructor in water safety and associate fields.  An associate professor of Physical Education and coordinator of the aquatics program for the school, he has devoted much of his life and career to the university.
