MEMO from our Club President

ONE hundred and nine years ago, on May 6, 1860, twenty­three San Franciscans met in a firehouse on Broadway

and founded The Olympic Club. The most imaginative dreamer among them could never have visualized The Olym­pic Club of today, with 7,200 members, two golf courses and two clubhouses with unequalled physical facilities.

When we celebrate any anniversary or birthday, we tend to reminisce about the years gone by. In thinking about the past history of the Club, I can't help but compare the Club to a diamond with its many facets each glistening on its own and each contributing to the beauty of the whole.

The most lustrous facet that attracts us is the one cut by our senior members. With today's emphasis on youth, we sometimes overlook the importance of the senior generation in our midst. They have the experience and maturity to counsel youth. They have forgotten more than most of us

know about Olympic Club traditions. They have the patience to tread lightly when change is proposed and the wisdom and courage to embrace change when it is in the best interests of the majority.

On the evening of May 6, ninety-four men who have been members for fifty or more years will be honored at the first annual "Old Timers" banquet. Among those to be honored will be Thomas Crowley, Sr., at the age of 93 our oldest living member, and Phil Heuer another 93-year-old who is three months younger than Tom. Holding the longest membership record is Edmund Russ who joined the Club 81 years ago at the age of 8. The runner-up to this title is Rudolph Habe­nicht, a member for 75 years.

These 94 "Old Timers" represent more than 5,000 years of membership. We are proud to honor them on the 109th anniversary of The Olympic Club.

THE OLYMPIC CLUB OF SAN FRANCISCO 109 YEARS AGO

It was Sunday, May 6, 1860, in San Francisco a seemingly ordinary day.

The Vigilantes had no call for action, and there were no fires of any conse­

quence. An undistinguished day, indeed, but

for one event reported by neither the Bulletin nor the Examiner:

Twenty-three energetic young San Franciscans, not a cheapjohn or vaga­bond among them, convened at the Laf­ayette Hook & Ladder Company fire house on Broadway, and founded The Olympic Club.

First home of The Olympic Club.

In its far-reaching effects, its part in the development of San Francisco, and its beneficent influence on the lives of thousands of its citizens, this was be­yond question the most significant event of the day or the decade.

Yet it is reasonable to believe that none of these men dreamed that their organization was to endure for 100 years and more, growing to a membership of more than 7,200, surviving two total­loss fire disasters, producing national and world champion athletes and teams, winning national fame, acquiring two magnificent clubhouses, two superb golf courses, and other properties worth many millions of dollars. They merely wanted improved facilities to continue and expand a program of gymnastic training.

50 YEARS AGO OLYMPIAN, May, 1919

Mr. Harry Kennett has been employed as Golf Instructor at Lakeside in place of William Bradley and Mr. R. W. Ball will be instructor at the Club House on Post Street.

Mr. Kennett has had years of experi­ence in England and in this country. He learned his game at Eastport as a player and as an instructor. Mr. Ball is the son of John Ball, famous golf link designer and constructor, and has been associated with golf from childhood. Unquestionably both are in every way competent to give golf lessons.

Defeating the runners of Stanford Uni­versity with ease, the Olympian track and field team gained new laurels over the collegians when they plastered on a 74 to 57 defeat. The meet was simply a walk-away for the Club men. From the signal of the gun to start until the finish, the affair was a merry-go-round. First one event and then another went to the wearers of the Winged "O" prac­tically unopposed.

Little Freddie Farmer, former Santa Clara trackster and now Olympian, ran the prettiest race of the day when he stepped away from a field of twenty in the two-mile run, winding up at the tape some 50 yards before his nearest competitor.

Mellville, 100-yard sprinter for the Olympians, stepped pretty in the cen­tury when he overcame the lead of Wells, U.C. star.

Munlox displayed true form when he carried off the discus event with a throw of 132 feet. The mark of Munlox is con­sidered a winner in every start in this neck of the woods.

Long Bill Dooling tacked on more laurels to his string of wins, when he won the shot put with a put of 39 feet ½ inch.

25 YEARS AGO

OLYMPIAN, May, 1944

The Olympic Club juvenile boxers who journeyed to Belmont to engage in fistic combat with the youngsters of St. Jo­seph's Military School came out on the short end of the horn, although all who witnessed the bouts were thrilled with the exhibition put up by the Winged "O" lads.

Olympians on the home front continue to do their "bit" for the war effort along with the more than 1,400 members now in the armed forces. One of the out­standing Olympians in this respect is William P. Kyne, manager of the Cali-

fornia Jockey Club. "Genial Bill," as he is more generally known to the rank and file in all walks of life, as well as around The Olympic Club, at the out­start of the spring meeting at Bay Meadows set his sights at the highest notch - a la Cornelius W armerdam. When he stated that Bay Meadows had set a goal of "Two Million or More by '44 for War Relief," his friends deemed the notch had been placed too high.

* * * This year's Annual Doubles Handball Tournament has attracted considerably more attention due to a greater number of new members participating, particu­larly men in the Service.

Playing has been keen in all four groups, and at the time we go to press the finalists have already been decided in both first and fourth groups.

Group 4 - Fred Murphy and Al Poetsch, in the winning brackets, have turned back all competition in fine style. Phil Noonan and his partner, Granfield Borden, promised plenty of trouble, but dropped two straight to Fred and Al. The challengers, Bob Culver and Art Senter suffered their only loss at the hands of Phil and Granfield. This final match promises to be one of the best.

Group 3-Howard Gilmore and Fred Glauser are sitting pretty. They have already taken the measure of one of the semi - finalists, namely, Art Fritz and John Zeile. Art and John will have to battle it out with Ray Mason and Jack Remick for the opportunity of facing Howard and Fred in the finals.

Group 2-Tom Dwyer and Elmer Ohl­sen are the ones in the favored bracket. The semi - finalists are Joe Gallagher and Ray McMenomy versus Frank Knill and Tom Sullivan.

Group 1-Roy Leu and Harvey Crane are in the lucky bracket and will meet Mike de la Pena and Harold Jacobs in the finals.

10 YEARS AGO OLYMPIAN, May, 1959

An inter-team pistol versus rifle match proved the rifleman is the best all around marksman. At least as far as members of O.C. teams are concerned.

The pistol shooters and riflemen re­cently traded firearms after shooting their own weapons and the aggregate scores of the two weapons fired over a course of ten shots, slow fire, were to­taled.

Result: The riflemen outshot the six gunners by 130 points.

* * * Amateur boxing will return to The Olympic Club on Thursday night, May 21, when Commissioner Phil Noonan stages a program in the Club gym under Winged "O" colors.

* * * Led by Bill Nieder, 1956 Olympic Games runner-up in the shot put, and Rink Babka, national champion discus thrower, The Olympic Club track and field teams enter the May Relay meets with a formidable squad.

Bill Nieder has proven the number two ranking shot putter in the world, second only to Dallas Long, sensational 18 - year - old University of Southern California freshman. So far this year Bill's record reads like this:

March 14-First against College of Pacific, 61 feet, 3¾ inches.

March 21-First against Stanford, 61 feet, 9 inches.

March 28-Second in Easter Relays, 62 feet, 9 inches.

With the luck of the Irish still riding his putter, Craig Callahan, Saint Pat's Day Tourney winner, dethroned Bob Cardinal to become The Olympic Club Champion for 1959.

The 24-year-old Irisher beat Cardinal five down with four holes to go in their Sunday finals match round, April 12.

Bob Brady's gallant bid to win the national singles championship of the United States Handball Association missed its mark when he lost to John Sloan of the U.S. Army in the tourna­ment finals at Los Angeles last month.

* * * Dr. Lloyd H. Dahl, former Olympic Club director, has been promoted to the rank of captain in the U.S. Naval Re­serve. Capt. Dahl was notified of his promotion by Admiral Shantz of Wash­ington, D.C., and Admiral Ryan of the 12th Naval District.

The prominent Olympian and dentist first joined the Navy in 1942 during World War II and was commissioned a lieutenant. He served aboard the U.S.S. Solace, a hospital ship, and went through a number of major battles in the Pacific.

Capt. Dahl received four battle stars and a special citation from Admiral Nimitz.

Albert E. Maggio served as the San Francisco chairman for the fourth an­nual "Back to College Night" benefit held at St. Mary's College.

The event was sponsored by a group of business and professional men dedi­cated to raise money for their "Great Teachers" fund.

* * * Club Championship Time Big Jim Westfall is on tap to defend his honors for the 47th running of the OC Cham­pionships. Qualifying began on April 26 with matches set for the following weekend, May 2 and 3. Semi-finals are set for May 9, with the 36-hole final scheduled for Sunday, May 10.

Last year's tussle was an overtime dandy with Long Jim edging the crisp­hitting Paul Walter. Both boys are in shape as are former champions Big Bill Higgins ( a 4-timer) and recent runner­up in the U.S. Seniors; 19'62 champion Paul Millet; leading blue ribbon winner Bobby Roos, Dave Cantwell and a host of others. U.S. Open Chairman Stan Haight is the champion who has the

most years behind him-Stan won way back in 1927.

In the season just completed, The Olympic Club rugby team enjoyed the most successful season of recent times. After four years of finishing on the debit side, the men from the Winged "O" were able to fashion a creditable 6 and 4 season record capped by a fourth place finish in the annual iMonterey Rugby Tournament.

The Olympic Club "O" side was able to fashion a good seasonal record which included wins over the Peninsula Ram­blers, USC, UCLA (in the Monterey Tourney), the University Club of Los Angeles, University of California at Davis, Notre Dame, and several others.

Dr. Al de Ferrari of The Olympic Club, a San Francisco dentist who drills as much on wrestling rules as he does on molars and bicuspids, was recently named "Man of the Year" in amateur wrestling.

The 63-year-old international rules authority is chairman of the United States Olympic wrestling committee and a vice president of the International Amateur Wrestling Federation (FILA). He served as National AAU wrestling chairman for ten years, 1952-62.

* * • Mrs. James (Muriel) Tackney broke 100 for the first time and thereby wins the trophy designated for the member who in competitive play accomplishes this feat for the first time.

* * * Mayor John F. Shelley, who has de­voted his life to public service, was hon­ored by 300 fellow Olympians at a tes­timonial luncheon at the Country Club last month.

A member of The Olympic Club since 1939, Shelley is the fifth Olympian to become mayor of the city of San Fran­cisco. This fact was noted by former Club president Bill Clecak, who acted as master of ceremonies.

Other Olympians who have served San Francisco as mayor, recalled Cle­cak, were Sunny Jim Rolph, Angelo Rossi, Roger D. Lapham and Elmer Robinson.

BUGGERS BLITZED

IT HAPPENED in Monterey, where The Olympic Club Rugby team was billed

as the dark horse in the 11th Annual Monterey National Rugby Tournament. But the real dark horse, the University of Washington, acted as spoilers by up­setting the Winged "O" in their third game.

Twenty-four teams had gathered on location on the Monterey Peninsula for this largest of all tournaments and on the first day of the two-day competition many of the teams played four games over a period from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. The games were all played at the Middle School, located at the entrance of Car­mel Valley on three pitches, or fields, which were used continuously, and pre­senting a colorful sight in this scenic setting.

The Olympic Club 15 lived up to their dark horse role in the first two contests, beating San Luis Obispo R.C., 3-0, and Long Beach R.C., 6-3. However, as the day wore on the Winged "O" ruggers

wore down; the desire was there but lack of reserve strength spelled their doom when an inspired group of Wash­ington Huskies took their measure by a score of 10-5.

Even in defeat the O.C. had solid per­formers. John Clark, always aggressive, was in constant pursuit of the opposi­tion, breaking up many of their plays. Fullback Dave Marcelli, with strong kicking, kept his team out of trouble. Mel Hollen handled his job at scrum half with finesse, but the Club was un­able to spring its fast backs Tom Clark, Bob Wilson and others for the necessary scores.

Adding injuries to key men Bill Bres­lan and Mickey Ording created the point of no return for the O.C. and they lost successive games to Piedmont R.C. and Old Mission Beach A.C., finishing eighth in the tournament.

On Sunday, under blue skies, Stan­ford, with daring play and superior re­serve strength, beat the Bay Area Tour-

ing Side, 21-11, in the finals, successfully defending its Monterey Championship.

For the success of the tournament, special credit must be given to Olym­pian Steve Yost, Rugby Union Chair­man of the tournament, whose expert organizing abilities made possible the precision playing of 52 games in two days. Steve of course received excellent help from Dennis Shanagher, president of the Northern California Rugby Union; Paul Andrew, the tournament founder, and Committeeman Roger Dixon, remembered for winning many games for the 0.C. with his accurate kicking.

Already on the road back, the O.C. side crushed the University of Santa Clara 22-8 in their next game following the Monterey tourney. Tom Elliott, Paul Viloich and Bob Wilson scored trys, or touchdowns, and Mickey Ording contributed to the scoring with one 3-point penalty kick and a 2-point con­version, or goal.

This dramatic action spotlights Olympians Tom Clark, Bob Wilson and Tony Sebalo in game with University of Washington. Rugged competition came during Monterey Rugby tourney.

Country Home At Lakeside

by Con T. Shea

(The following article is reprinted from the May, 1935, OLYMPIAN.)

Back in the summer of 1918 a few Olympians, probably not numbering more than six, with a great deal of fore­sight and vision, suggested an innova­tion, which was then thought a rather rash and bold one, that The Olympic Club add to their curriculum of athletic activities the royal and ancient game of golf.

Most of you will remember that in those days for one to play golf was a sure sign of one or many things, viz., feeble-mindedness, old-age or a wanton lack of something better to do with one's time. It took a brave soul with a world of courage to be seen in public with a bag of golf clubs, much less to be adorned with plus-four knickers, as it was a certain invitation for a great deal of kidding. But that is beyond the point at issue, so on with the story that

About the Author Con T. Shea joined The Olympic Club

as a service member in 1917. Following World War I, he served on a committee that selected the present site for the Country Club and present "golfing paradise at Lakeside."

Mr. Shea served as the first secretary of the original St. Patrick's Day golf tournament headed by the late Harry Stafford and subsequently by the late Judge Timothy Fitzpatrick. Was many times chairman of the Club's annual golfing journey to Del Monte and Pebble Beach during the 1920s and '30s.

Wrote golfing news and special arti­cles pertaining to Lakeside for the OLYMPIAN for more than 10 years. Has played golf there for 50 years.

This is the way it was in 1926 when husbands and wives got together following a round of golf at Lakeside. They enjoyed a putting contest before cocktails and a barbecue afterward.

developed from what was then thought of as an idle dream to an actual realiza­tion that we all can now call our beau­tiful Golf and Country Home.

Those few Olympians mentioned above, whose perseverance and deter­mination I am sure excelled their golfing ability, submitted several potential sites for a country home, some far removed from our city. Out of the tragedy of a world war came a blessing in disguise in the way of a proposal from the then known Lakeside Golf and Country Club, that The Olympic Club take pos­session of their facilities for a period of two years for the insignificant cost of maintaining the premises.

Many months of negotiating between the two clubs brought forth an oppor­tunity that led our directors to unani-

mously recommend it to the considera­tion of all Olympians, whose over­whelming 571 visionary votes to 16 "single track" minded ones, was the order of the ballot box.

The most singularly successful under­taking ever enjoyed in the history of our great Club occurred during the sub­sequent two years. Like all true soldiers, a call-to-arms was most spontaneously met on the evening of June 19, 1922, when we were all invited to attend a dinner rally in the Club gymnasium to decide whether or not to accept the attractive part of the original option, the purchase of 364.8 acres and all the improvements thereon, for the amount of approximately $486,000.

The underwriting problem of pur­chasing, with the additional cost of erecting two golf courses, were easily solved by the creation of a class of "con­tributing members," numbering about 1250. I am at a loss to remember whether the credit for the immediate subscrip­tion goes to the potency of the cocktails (incidentally furnished by the Club without the bother of signing a chit), the high-pressed ability and oratory of the committee in charge, or that indom­itable spirit of Olympia that makes our Club stand out above all others as Mount Olympus stands above our own Lone Mountain.

The summer of 1924 saw the comple­tion of two of the finest golf courses in America and with it the realization that the club house we then enjoyed was altogether inadequate and rapidly be­coming obsolete for the increasing num­ber of golfing members. An ambition

Junior Golfers' Big Year by Bill Sherman

THE OLYMPIC CLUB Juniors tee off for 1969 with some high hopes and some tough matches. Last year, the young

men racked up more wins than any other Junior team, which says quite a bit for their competitive ability.

Expected to lead this year's charge are young John Aben­droth and sturdy Rob O'Neil. Both players have showed lots of poise in tournament competition and have already proven themselves capable of good shots under pressure.

Another strong trio may be made up of two Peninsula high schoolers, Hinton Williams and Dennis Emerson, along with San Francisco's Ed Brush.

Three brother combinations are on this years' team. The "triple" goes to Joe, Rick and Gerry Doyle, while doubles go to Rob and Kelly O'Neil and Pat and Dennis Murphy.

Other players who rate well with the golf shop staff are Tom Mazza, Duane Cosper, John Gregoire, Peter Clark and Charles Scully.

To date, the Juniors have won matches from Riordan, Washington and St. Ignatius high schools, but have fallen before the more experienced teams of San Francisco City

18

College, Santa Clara University and University of San Fran­cisco.

One highlight of the coming spring season is the match with San Jose State. The Spartans have a college varsity team that has always enjoyed national recognition. One fa­miliar face sure to recall some thrilling golf will belong to former Junior champion Tommy O'Kane, who is one of Coach Gerry Vroom's regulars.

When the summer starts, six home-and-home matches are already scheduled with such clubs as Los Altos, Sharon Heights, The Meadow Club, Palo Alto Hills, Marin Golf and Country Club and Green Hills. These matches are usually tightly contested and well-played.

The coaching task has been well handled to date by young Bruce Summerhays, who has just departed for the PGA tour. Head professional Kyle Burton will take up the team chores, working with Committeemen Hinton Williams, Fran Murphy and Frank Brush.

The climax to the program will come in late summer with the Invitational, set for August 28, followed by the Club Championship on September 7.

MEN'S

g@u by Bill Sherman

MEN's GUEST DAY, a new special . tournament, will be held each Wednesday beginning May 14. Tourna­ment Co-chairmen Rob Brunig and Ed Foulkes promise exciting prizes, a good buffet dinner, pre-registered starting times, and free range balls, for you and one guest, all for a tournament entry fee of $7.

The tournament is a nine-hole affair, scored only on the first nine holes played ( either course) by you and your guest. The prizes are awarded on in­dividual low net and low gross, for each course and a "closey"-this for the shot closest to the pin on the Lake's 8th hole or on the Ocean's 2nd.

While all players competing in the tournament must be off before 4 P.M., the golf privilege for guests is good all day. Cards must be deposited at the snack wagon before 6 P.M. to qualify.

Mark this down as one worth doing.

The Club championship was already under way as the OLYMPIAN went to press. In the qualifying round, defend­ing champion Bob Callan joined two other golfers in shooting four over par 75s on the Lake course to lead the field.

Tom O'Kane, 21-year-old San Fran­cisco State student, and former cham­pion Dick Riley joined Callan with 75s.

The New Pals tournament brought together Stu Mitchell, Earl Lawrence, Ray Lugea and Lou Gregoire for a round of golf and some pre-game antics on the Club's ocean course.

Four other former winners of the title also qualified for the championship flight. Tom Culligan III and Jack Lu­ceti got in with 76s, Paul Millett with 78 and Bob Roos with an 82.

Other championship qualifiers who entered match play competition were Len Studinger, 78; Paul Horwath, 79; Ted Binkley, 80; Dave Rambo, 81; and Steve Gregoire, Robert Connolly, Mike Avelar and Jim Urbanski, 82.

A complete report on the outcome of this championship will appear in the June OLYMPIAN.

Easy Ed Lagomarsino, as much a part of the golfing scene at Lakeside as the

trees and the terrain, has ended 28 years of personal services cheerfully and generously given to all Club mem­bers.

Since 1942 Ed has done it all; racked bags in the back shop; started play over the counter; kept books and even sold a cap or two from the bin. He's worked with Johnny Battini, Dutch Harrison, Art Armstrong and Kyle Burton.

Ed was marked by a shy grin and a good word. He's never lost a friend nor gained an enemy. He can recall with fondness the days of the tournaments - the Western Open in 1948, the Na­tion Open when Jack Fleck caught Ben

MRS. FRANCIS HERZ was hostess at a special dinner at Lakeside in

honor of the 75th birthday of her hus­band, Doctor Herz.

The popular dentist was surrounded by 24 members of his family, including his three grandchildren, Melissa, Peter and Cindy Harris, who came from Red­ding with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Harris.

Mrs. Herz also entertained the pre­vious week when she hosted a luncheon for 27 friends, all members of the Dan­ish American Women's Club. They en­joyed cocktails, lunch and cards.

Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Perkins gave a farewell brunch for Mr. and Mrs. Mark O'Donnell and their family, who are moving to New York. Twenty-eight family members attended the affair.

A large group of family and friends gathered for breakfast and the celebra­tion of the first communion of Carol Eileen Kelly, young daughter of the Jo­seph Kellys.

Another first communion was cele­brated when Mr. and Mrs. Phil Carter hosted a group of 25 friends and rela­tives at a breakfast for their young son, Ronald.

Mr. and Mrs. James Berry hosted cocktails and dinner in honor of the 32nd wedding anniversary of his par­ents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Berry.

Some 1200 Olympians and their fam­ilies and guests enjoyed Easter break­fast and dinner at the Country Club.

The Club was beautifully decorated for the occasion with spring flowers and

Easter bunnies, the work of Esther Erickson.

Mr. and Mrs. James Heynemann hosted a delightful brunch for a group of 60 friends and relatives.

The occasion was in honor of the 25th wedding anniversary of Mrs. Heyne­mann' s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Ryan.

A very special occasion brought a group of friends together for a birthday party given for Mr. Louis Steller.

Cocktails, dinner and cards were the order of the evening, with the affair hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Harber.

The Harbers hosted another group at the Country Club the following week. They entertained 25 friends for cock­tails and dinner.

A family ritual was carried out for the third time in the Vincent H. Baldoc­chi family. Their youngest daughter, Renee, celebrated her first communion by being the honored guest at a family breakfast at Lakeside.

Previously, her older sisters, Loraine and Terry had been the honored guests.

Renee presided at a table for 19 chil­dren, her two sisters and 16 cousins. Her parents' table included 22 adult members of the Baldocchi family, in­cluding Rene's godparents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Ravetti.

"Sail into Spring at Lakeside" was the theme of a luncheon and fashion show held at the Country Club.

Mrs. Joseph Mignola was the chair­man of this very successful event, at­tended by 370 guests.

A social gathering of 75 women en­joyed a lovely luncheon. Spring flowers and a spring day made it a special occa­sion.

The philanthropic group, all of Italian descent, honored their outgoing presi­dent, Mrs. John Atkinson, Sr.

Mother's Day, May 11th, will be the occasion of many family gatherings at Lakeside.

Mr. Eric Seager, our genial Country Club manager, stresses that early reser­vations are a must, as this is one of the biggest functions of the year.

Brunch will be served starting at 10 A.M. and dinner from 4: 30 P.M.

COUNTRY HOME continued

that never dies gave birth to an idea for a new and commodious club house. A letter from our president, dated June 5, 1924, informed us of the fact that plans and specifications for a new country home were merely held up for an op­portunity for loyal Olympians to again come to the front by subscribing to bonds in the amount of $400,000, which was realized in faster time than it takes for the ink to dry on this article.

So, my good readers, the eventual welding of the final link in the chain of events that has made Olympia's history of seventy-five years heard in all parts of the world where the feet of man have trod-the completion of your Country Home-The Olympic Club at Lakeside.

The club house itself, from a geo­graphical and architectural standpoint, is most ideally located amid nature's most glorious gifts-trees-so ably por­trayed in song and poetry by the late Joyce Kilmer. Beautiful shrubbery, fo­liage and flowers are there, no farther than a couple of good wooden shots from the peaceful Pacific.

The exterior, so attractive to the eye, with refined Spanish architecture, ter-

racotta tiled roof and stucco walls rem~ iniscent of adobe, could very easily epit~ omize a past generation of those ever so proud Spanish cavaliers and grandees, whose spirit will never be removed from the ground about which I write. Par­ticularly is that setting noticeable from a distance and quite visible from our two principal highways leading to and from San Francisco - Junipero Serra and Skyline Boulevards.

Upon stepping into the sunny patio one is greeted by a fountain in the cen­ter playing upon the base of a statue, most appropriately named "Friendship," commemorating two of the most highly esteemed gentlemen and sportsmen whose names ever graced the director­ship of our Club, John A. Hanify and Edwin A. Christenson. Not the ill-fate that took them from this life, but their deeds, which were great and numerous, unquestionably immortalize them in Olympia's Hall of Fame, especially to those who knew those sterling gentle­men.

No feeble effort of mine can ade­quately describe the interior, consisting of four stories: from the engine room in the basement, the grill, the men's and women's locker rooms and the Roman

L-ook what you can do with a closet these days.

There she is in all her beauty: the Viking Solo Sauna.*

She measures 78" high, 391/i" deep, and 36" wide. Outside

she's mahogany. Inside, she's redwood. The heater and con­

and can even be used separately to turn a closet into a sauna.

If you're thinking of something larger than a closet, we have

plunge on the second floor: the beautiful dining rooms, two lounge rooms on the third floor, and the very attractive liv­ing room suites on the top floor. The beautifully arranged interior decoration on the four floors would take the pen of a more romantically inclined individual to adequately describe than any out­burst of mine.

Nothing has given the writer more pleasure than hearing the statements of visitors to our Country Club as to its grandeur in comparison with other clubs. From the great of all walks of life, down to the average the same exclamation-second to none! By the one and only Bobby Jones, who has probably seen more golf and country clubs than any other individual, by for­eign dignitaries and visitors from all the States of our Union, it is proclaimed a gem, and regrettable, as it may seem, many of our own members do not know it exists!

The passing of time, as a general rule, has been very variable. We all hope for and expect the best; some get it if fortunate, while others fall victims to havoc. Our glorious City of Saint Fran­cis is no exception. What we thought at

Ron Arndt (r.), winner of volleyball's Outstanding Athlete Award in the Pacific AAU, is congratulated by Club president Al Cleary. Arndt received plaque to commemorate triumph.

State Title for Volleyball­Coach to Handle World Team

THE Olympic Club volleyball team is the California State AAU tourna­

ment champion for 1969· after winning the title in competition at Fresno last month. This marks the first time the Olympians have won this title. Still an­other 0.C. team finished third.

Victory in the State tournament was attained through strong team play and climaxed the program now being con­ducted by Coach Len Kaczmarek and Commissioner Kent Darwin.

The third place finish by a relatively inexperienced "young group" indicates that the plan to develop new talent, as reported in the March OLYMPIAN, is already paying dividends.

In winning the championship, The Olympic Club volleyballers beat the de­fending National champions from the Westside Jewish Community Center of Los Angeles. They also defeated the National Collegiate championship team from UCLA and the always formidable Long Beach Century Club.

The Olympic Club's third place team also beat these teams but placed third

behind the second place Cisco Volley­ball Club of Los Angeles.

Additional awards were won by The Olympic Club players on other fronts. Ron Arndt was presented the 1968 Pa­cific Association AAU Player of the Year A ward at a banquet at the Country Club.

Len Kaczmarek was selected as one of two coaches for the United States team participating in the World Invita­tional Tournament in Uruguay later this month. Teams from Russia, Japan, Czechoslovakia and Brazil also will compete.

The Club volleyball team also won the Davis Open and the Embarcadero Open. Still further honors are expected as the season progresses. Coach Kacz­marek is confident the team will finish well up in the National Championships at Knoxville in May.

Other tournament events in the area during the coming weeks will enable the Club players to sharpen up for the major championships ahead. Only the best of these teams will survive compe­tition.

Johnson Wins 'Aloha' Crown

W AYNE JOHNSON flew to Hawaii for a romantic island wedding and

remained to win the Hawaiian Regional Pistol Matches while on his honeymoon. The competition at Ewa Beach was sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps.

Johnson, a double winner, captured the First Master Aggregate with .22-, .38- and .45-caliber pistols for a score of 2591-2700 with 70 x's. He then fired a 280-300 in the hard ball (GI .45 ammo) to win this event.

Earlier, in Olympic Club competition at home, Johnson paced the Olympian sharpshooters to victory over the Fort Ord army team at Richmond. Johnson fired 2581-2600 with 79' x's. Top scores were also turned in by Bill Townsend, Dick Randall and Ronald Rehn. The Olympians outfired the military in all three calibers.

Johnson, The Olympic Club's high gun in the Fleet Admiral Nimitz Match recently, is a California Highway Pa­trol officer. His dad is a veteran peace officer in the East Bay.

On the rifle front, 14 years ago The Olympic Club resumed small bore (.22 caliber) rifle competition and entered the San Francisco Rifle Association Matches. The Club competed against ,·arious Bay Area teams.

During the first two years the Olym­pians competed in the B League, build­ing up to more formidable competition. Then they graduated to the A League.

Since that time they have fired in 168 San Francisco R. A. matches, winning 165 and losing 3-and the losses were by only one or two points. Commis­sioner Ellis Rehn notes that already in 1969 the Club has won 13 straight matches.

"Every Olympic Club rifleman has done an outstanding job," said Rehn. "The same men did not always fire first team, indicating the over-all fire power of the Club team.

"At this writing the team is preparing for the SFRA Invitational and the Grimsley Matches in Modesto, where the rifle team will wind up its shooting for the season."

Rehn credits deputy commissioner Lue Meyer with "a fantastic job over the years."

Tennis Events Set for Year by Michael Keating

ANUMBER of important tennis tour­naments have been scheduled for

the months ahead. The first top event on tap this month will be the annual Spring Mixed Doubles, May 17-18. This will be followed a month later by the Men's Singles and Doubles tournament, June 21-22.

The Olympic Club's opening singles tournament was actually held late last month over the weekend of April 26-27. An outstanding field was anticipated and such veterans as Al Hitchcock and Don Bering planned to participate.

A round robin was scheduled and re­sults of this opening tournament will be reported in the next issue.

A tennis questionnaire sent out re­cently by the commissioner has been returned and the information will assist in arranging a program that will be pop­ular with all tennis playing Olympians.

"The results of this data will also pro­vide a tennis roster and enable players to arrange social and challenge matches on weekends and weekdays," said Geoff Thomas, tennis commissioner. "This in­formation should stimulate tennis ac­tivity."

The new "open tennis" policy for tournament play will enable Olympic Club players to watch professional Stan Smith in competitive action around the San Francisco Bay Area this year.

Since the open category will permit professionals to compete in all open tournaments, the Bay Area scene will be brightened by the addition of Stan and other local professionals on the scene again. Smith will also be busy this summer presenting his popular clinics at Lakeside.

The complete tennis schedule for the. year follows:

May 17-18-Spring Mixed Doubles.

June 21-22-Men's Singles and Doubles.

July 19-20-Summer Mixed Doubles.

August 23-24-Men's Doubles.

September 13-14-Olympic Club Singles Championships.

October 11-12-lSth Annual Mixed Doubles.

November 22-Turkey Tournament. continued on page 34

Now on the job at the Club swimming pool is Gordon Johnson, newly-named aquatic coach.

Gordon Johnson New Swim Coach

GORDON JOHNSON, a native Califor­nian who graduated from Brig­

ham Young University, is the newly ap­pointed Aquatic Director of The Olym­pic Club. Johnson was reared in the Modesto area, where he attended high school and Modesto Junior College.

His achievements in swimming are many. Johnson was selected All Amer­ican in 1963 and 1964 at Thomas Downey High School in Modesto for the 100-yard backstroke and the 200-yard individual medley. He was also voted All Ameri­can in 1965-66 in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke and 200 - yard individual medley at Modesto J.C.

At present, the new Olympic Club coach is American record holder for the 100-yard and 100-meter backstroke in 50-yard and 25-meter pools. In 1963 he was ranked among the top ten back­strokers in the world.

As one might suspect, Gordon likes swimming. He also enjoys most other sports and athletics. The art of sailing and scuba diving are among his favor­ites. Johnson is happy to affiliate with The Olympic Club.

"I feel this is a great club and I'm pleased with the opportunity I have been given to work with the members," said Johnson.

He said that all who desire lessons or need help with their swimming please contact him at the pool.

COUNTRY HOME continued

the time of the fire and earthquake a great calamity resulted in a larger and greater city, known and loved through­out the world as the "City That Knows How." First, a large and luxurious city home and following that, a beautiful country home situated in what was bet­ter and more familiarly known in pre­vious times as the Rancho de la Merced, bounded by two bodies of water, the great and mighty Pacific Ocean on the southwest and the beautiful and historic Laguna de la Merced on the northeast. The haughty dons of early California history would rather have had lost everything, almost life itself, than their pride, and how proud they must feel as they look down from above and survey the ground they loved so well.

Badminton and Other Sports In Spotlight at City Club

John Payne

OLYMPIANS now have an opportunity to play badminton at the City

Club gym every Tuesday and Thursday ~etween 11 A.M. and 12 noon. For those :earning the game, I will be glad to in­struct them and help improve as rapidly

possible. Equipment is available for n1embers to use or purchase.

Badminton is a fun and exciting game ·hat can be played by young, middle­;iged and old. It is played on a court 44 feet long and 17 feet wide for singles, 14 feet long and 20 feet wide for doubles. The net is five feet high.

Players' equipment is inexpensive. One racquet $5 to $20, a few shuttle­cocks at $1 each, or as they are better

known, "birds." The bird comes in var­ious weights and the reason for this is to accommodate air condition.

What makes the game attractive is its inexpense and the fact it can be played just about anywhere. It is now being played in clubs, YMCA, schools, col­leges, universities, churches and other places with adequate area.

The game is not only one of complete physical activity, but also one of great strategy. However, to be able to ac­complish a good "smash" or a "clear" ::hot, the bird must be hit fairly hard.

Winning of a game is largely due to one player outsmarting the other by placement of the bird and a deceptive maneuver. Even though a player has inferior stroking ability, if he employs greater strategy or outsmarts his oppo­nent, he may win from an opponent with greater physical ability.

The exercise, fitness, and friendly competition you get from this game can be of great benefit and could pro­long your life. Also, this activity gives

each man another chance of using the athletic facilities of his Club.

Why not come to the Club for a few minutes of badminton, have a brief re­laxing salt water swim and a steam bath, and the finale is having a fine lunch in the Club's dining facilities? Then go back to your office feeling sharp and completely revitalized.

The freshness and clearness one re­ceives from any kind of athletic activity at the Club is for his and only his bene­fit. It has been my experience that after a brief workout my work in the office has been accomplished with less effort than before. So sign up today for this new activity of badminton by calling the Club, 775-4400, Miss Twohy.

Mississippi Swim

Seven consecutive wins by The Olym­pic Club in the Mississippi Marathon Swim finally came to an end. The 1968 winner of this marathon competition is the Multnomah Athletic Club of Port­land, which rolled up an impressive number of victory laps. The final stand­ings were:

1. Multnomah A.C., 4,600,520 yards. 2. The Olympic Club, 3,213,815 yards. 3. Los Angeles Athletic Club, 1,824,-

478 yards. 4. Washington Athletic Club, 1,490,-

625 yards. 5. Milwaukee Athletic Club, 1,308,800

yards. 6. Buffalo Athletic Club, 1,128,125

Highest club category went to the Mult­nomah Athletic Club with 142 boys to­taling 2,045,810 yards. The youngest, Mary Whitney, 3 years old, swam ½ mile and Dr. Frank Beyer, at 86 years of age, swam 50 miles for the oldest swimmer. The leading five swimmers

:ogan in 1955; the National Amateur in )58 and the last big National Open in )66. Ed has no long - delayed plans to

1row a hook into the waters of the 'acific. He isn't going searching for keletons and he never did give a rrought to scaling the Matterhorn. He ,oes plan to stop by the shop every now .nd then to look in and see how things ,re going. Though they may go well, ,omething good will be missing. That :omething is Ed Lagomarsino.

The O.C. had another 'first'-this the :::harley Hagedorn Farewell Invitational

wholly subscribed to and supported oy Charley's good friends who hated to ,ee him move up to Philippine Air Line's head spot in Tokyo.

The tournament will be reactivated every time Charley comes back to the Bay Area. Olympian buddy Dick Specht celebrated the occasion with a sparkling 78, good enough to win the first leg while Walt Tolleson, Walter Guild and Fred Rea, fellow Olympians, contested with guests Carron McGill, Hank Bennett, Tom Murtz, Shigeo Kameda, Roman Barretto and Ed Hensley.

Two of The Olympic Club's brightest young golfers, Johnny Miller and Bruce Summerhays, have headed for profes­sional golfdom's tournament tour. Both men are already in Florida, attending the PGA's preparatory school that is a prerequisite to qualification.

Miller is a former National Junior Champion, California Amateur Cham­pion and number one player for Brig­ham Young University. He recently re­covered from a knee operation that kept him out of active competition for most of the winter season.

Miller was the leading amateur player in the 1966 National Open at Lakeside, an occasion in which he proved that his natural poise and playing ability would serve him well on the tour.

Bruce Summerhays has quickly learned the routine detail involved in the administration of a golf shop. He came to Lakeside well equipped as a promising tournament player. He has used his club apprentice time well.

Bruce is being sponsored by Tom Culligan, both Number II and Number III. The Culligans have much faith in Bruce's capacity to play winning golf on the tour.

Young McAteer, Leclercq Capture Top Club Awards by Barney Ford

Two outstanding youngsters were named winners of the Juvenile and

Junior of the Month awards for March. Thirteen-year-old Terence McAteer,

who joined the Club only last January, was chosen as Juvenile of the Month.

Larry Leclercq, 16, a member of the Club for nearly eight years, was named Junior of the Month.

Young McAteer comes from a family of outstanding athletes. His dad, the late J Eugene McAteer, former Califor­nia State Senator, and Terence's two older brothers distinguished themselves in athletics.

Terence, like his dad before him, is enthusiastic about handball and Coach Mike de la Pena predicts a champion­ship in the youngster's future. Terence also plays on the Juvenile soccer team.

Young Leclercq, the Junior of the Month, has participated regularly in the sports program at the Club and has out­standing athletic potential, according to his instructors. Currently he is partici­pating in handball and squash.

The plan proposed last month to award tickets to professional sports events ( the Giants, Athletics, 49ers, Warriors, etc.) to these youngsters has since been approved by the Board of Directors. The winners will have a chance to watch their sports heroes in action.

With the baseball season getting into full swing, can summer be far behind? This summer will be an interesting pe­riod for Junior and Juvenile members. An expanded athletic program is planned and will utilize all available facilities at the Club, both downtown and at Lakeside.

The complete summer program will be announced in the June OLYMPIAN. The program will provide the Junior and Juvenile members with a variety of activities.

A supply of official Club uniforms has arrived at the Club Sport Shop and are available to members. These uniforms are of excellent quality and are revers­ible. There is no obligation on the part of the boys to purchase these uniforms but they certainly look smart when worn individually or with the group.

Terence McAteer plays fast game of handbal. after being named Juvenile of the Month

A scoreless tie and a victory wer, turned in by the Junior and Juvenil, soccer team in recent games. The youn1 Olympians played PAL Epiphany to scoreless tie and later defeated the Con cordia Jr. team, 2-1.

Outstanding players for The Olympi Club were George Powning, Larry Mil burn and Mark Vignoles. Also compe1 ing was Brad Morris, who played dE spite a recent bout with the flu.

Another game was scheduled lat, with the PAL Montezuma soccer tear

Matmen Place In Nationals TEONARD BORCHERS of The Olympic L Club finished second in the 150-pound division and Richard Vaughn was third at 105.5 pounds in the Na­tional AAU Freestyle wrestling cham­pionships at Waterloo, Iowa, last month.

A third Olympic Club wrestler, Gary Lorenz, failed to place but finished fifth in the 150-pound division after winning four matches and losing two.

Vaughn won six of seven matches in the 150-pound class and defeated Dale Kistel of the Michigan Wrestling Club, although Kistel went on to win the championship in the Round Robin com­petition by scoring more points.

"Kistel had previously beaten me in New York for the United States World Team," said Vaughn, "so it was some satisfaction to beat him in the na­tionals."

Borchers won six matches and lost one in finishing second in the 150-pound class. Lorenz finished fifth in the 105.5-pound division but won four of his six matches despite failing to place in the money.

Prior to the nationals, the Olympian wrestlers warmed up for this major competition by winning the Far Western Championship for the 10th straight year.

Forty-two teams and 280 wrestlers participated in the tournament at San Francisco State.

The Olympic Club won the team tro­phy with 48 points, followed by S.F. State in second place with 38 points.

Gary Lorenz pinned six rivals and decisioned one in the Far Western and was named Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament while winning the 150 pound championship.

Two other Olympians, Russ Camilleri and Richard Vaughn, won champion­ships. Camilleri captured the 198 pound title and Vaughn the 115 pound crown.

Second place winners for the Club were Ray Archuleta, 115 pounds; Mi­chael Gallego, 180 pounds, and Jerry Pamp, 163 pounds. Third place winners were Michael Harman, 163 pounds, and Cyrene Lucas, 180 pounds.

Coach Haddad singled out Bob Leavitt and Lloyd White among the newcomers who are making rapid progress in tour­nament competition.

MEN'S GOLF continued

Professional Kyle Burton thinks that both Bruce and John will do very well. '·Both players have a great mental out­look," Kyle said. "They each have a style that stands pressure well."

The Seniors started 1969 with one of their best openings ever. The occasion was the New Pals, and one of the New Pals, Articulate Arthur Nelson, won low gross honors with a sparkling 77.

It was one of the Old Pals, however, Durham Jones, who cashed in low net honors, when he scored a 78 to match his 13 handicap for a net 65.

President Walt Tolleson, instead of throwing out the first trumpet, ushered in seven past presidents for special awards and honors in the Gold Room following the tournament. On hand for the bouquets were Gil Meyer, Bud Griffin, Walter Nieland, Howard Kem­per, Joe Knapp, Ed Laveroni and Ted Brown.

Tournament Chairman Carl Rankin put over another top-notch event, thanks to some willing hands extended by Co-Chairmen Burl Lack, John Han­cock and George Huck.

Coach Karl Instills Pride In Runners to Reach Peak by Jim Stephenson

KARL GRIEPENBURG's greatest pride in coaching running is the indi­

vidual's personal achievement. The to­tal result, of course, is a team champion­ship, but Karl gets a bang out of seeing the individual win his private battle, whether it be winning or just finishing the race or breaking a record.

"The great thing about running," said the youthful, handsome Griepenburg, who represents a good ad for the sport, "is, no matter what the coach says or does, it's still up to the individual to conquer the course. It's man versus himself and the credit for his perform­ance remains with him."

Looking over our coach's record, it is apparent he had a lot to do with the suc­cess of his runners. In team achieve­ments, Karl's record at Burlingame High, where he presently teaches and coaches, is outstanding, having won eight league and regional cross country championships in seven years. Like­wise, in track his teams have captured nine league, regional and sectional championships in seven years of com­petition.

While coaching the Golden Gate Track Club, his team took third in the National Cross Country Championships and, at San Francisco State, placed first in the Far Western Conference Cross Country Championships.

Individually, Griepenburg coached and developed many outstanding ath­letes. To mention a few, there's Bill Morgan, who placed second in the Na­tional Cross Country Championship and toured with the U.S. team in Europe in 1965.

Then there's Jim Groothoff, Pacific AAU half mile champ in 1965; Steve Sofos, second fastest high school sopho­more two-miler of all time in 1967; and Joe Whytock, fifth fastest high school sophomore of all time in the same year.

Whytock set the national sophomore three-mile record in 1967 with a blazing 14: 48, besting famous Jim Ryun's old record of 14: 52. Both Whytock and So­fos are running for the O.C. Cross Country team, along with Eugenio Am­aya, who is ranked in the Northern California one-mile event at 4: 18 min­utes.

Running is the name of the game and coach Karl Griepenburg shows his men how above.

"We have the potential here at the O.C. for a national championship team," enthused Griepenburg, "but we are go­ing to have to work for it. In all, it will tage the cooperation and interest of the Club and its facilities to make this high­est achievement possible."

Karl has already established a fine record at the O.C. His cross country teams have won many of the AA U sanc­tioned events, including the S.F. Exam­iner's Bay to Breakers Race, and again individuals have come forth with su­preme efforts, such as Don Pickett's winning the Historic Dipsea Race in 1968.

Coach Karl feels the team, in doing so well, has stimulated more members to run, whether it be for the team, around the City Club track, with the Jolly Joggers Club, on the Lakeside Beach Course, or just any place.

"That's the beauty of this sport, you can run any place, most anytime with the minimum of gear," enthused Grie­penburg. "You don't have to be a champ and once you start, you'll find you en­joy the action and the related stimulat­ing effect. However, you should have

Brady Spurs Top Players In Handball Championship by John Payne

THE Olympic Club Singles Handball Championships will soon be de­

cided. The games up to now have mostly been close and very aggressive. This year's tournament involved over 150 contestants in the various classes. The Championship Class spotlights the ex­perienced and very accomplished play­ers. Bob Brady has played his way to the semifinals brackets in the winner's division, along with Bert Reid fighting every match.

Brady's prior victories were over Bob McGuire and Lowell Fouch. Reid de­feated Jim O'Brien and Tom Fleming in two of the best matches played in the tournament. In the losers' brackets Mike Dunne was scheduled to play Mike Kelly and Joe Hare was matched against Bob Little. The winner of the losers' bracket plays the winner of the Reid and Brady match for the title. Final results will be reported in the next OLYMPIAN.

In the Junior Championship Class may be The Olympic Club winners of tomorrow. Bob Lazzaretto defeated John Joseph, Jerry Arnsbarger, and Jack Schroth to reach the finals in the winner's bracket. Still remaining for another shot at Lazzaretto were Jack Schroth, who defeated Bill Keays in a two-hour match, Jerry Arnsbarger, Bob Morton and Keays.

The action in First Class begins, or finishes I should say, with the aggres­sive play of Fred Bertetta, who de­feated several standouts in the winner's bracket by squeezing by Roger Martin, Fred Nagle, Jack Benjamin, Jay Capell and Art Citron. The winner between Al Seyranian and Stan Martin, who plays Citron for the loser's bracket sport, will challenge Bertetta for the title.

Charles Leach topped the winner's bracket of the Second Class and will play one of five fellows still remaining in the loser's bracket. Ken Hofmann and Jack Meyer are two strong con­tenders and C. Buckley, Fred George or Jerry Piazza could upset and go all the way.

I feel one of the enlightening points of this year's tournament is the young

Junior member prospects playing and improving their games. Each class, 1-4, has a couple of these fine young players that we will see jump into the winning tradition very soon.

The Third Class winner's bracket top player is one such young player. Al Chapparo, just turned 18 years old, had a couple of hard fought matches to get to the top spot. He defeated Bill Smith in three games and another three-game match was against Bob Roche. The los-

er's bracket had three players remain­ing, the above two I mentioned and Ed Dullea, Jr. The title final in Third Class was sure to be a bitter fight.

The classification of Fourth Class is a large one, in fact the largest of all. Therefore, the more matches these players play, the more experience and fun they receive. Jim Scheihing won his way to the winner's bracket finals by outlasting Henry Chapparo, Neal Culver, Mike Smith and Rich Doyle. There were six or seven remaining to be eliminated in the loser's bracket and I feel the two potential finishers will be Rich Doyle and Henry Chapparo.

The 1968 USHA National Fourwall Championships were held at the Uni­versity of Austin in Texas. The tourna­ment consisted of 128 open singles, 64 open doubles, 64 master singles and 32 masters doubles players. They also of-

As an example of his dedicated inter­est in running, along with all his other activities, our coach has started and will continue to write a newsletter for dis­tribution to the Jolly Joggers Club and other interested members. The news­letter will be published once a month during the running season and possibly every two months during the off season to keep everyone interested in running the year around.

On the action side, Griepenburg will have a running camp operating in Yo­semite this summer. There will be two

one-week sessions; the first is sched­uled from July 20 to 26 with the second session, to be announced later, coming up in August.

"The running camp will be for men only, ages 13 and over, although lads under 13 will certainly be considered," said Griepenburg. "We will camp and hike and run in this beautiful area

which should really motivate people to run in such an atmosphere of spectacu­lar beauty."

This could be the best Father and Son type outing in the world, so if you are interested please contact the coach or leave word for him at the City Club.

As you see Karl Griepenburg is a real sportsman himself, at S.F. State College he majored in Physical Education and received the Bachelor of Arts Degree. His record in track and cross country running was outstanding. In track, he lettered three times and broke the school records in the 880, mile and the mile relay, besides capturing the confer­ence championship in the 880 and plac­ing fifth in the NCAA small college championship twice.

In cross country running he held the school record once and was twice elect­ed team captain, an honor he also

achieved in track. As the ultimate Karl was awarded the Honors A ward of Merit from S.F. State and later was named track coach for the United States delegation to the Deaf Olympics.

Chatting with Karl and l'fatalie, his lovely wife, and meeting their young­sters, Susan 7 and Robbie 9, in their comfortable Sunset District home in San Francisco, one is impressed with the fine representation this family is mak­ing in their community. This is also the man who makes Olympians eager to run.
