■DACE THREE TIMES
ALL-AROUND CHAMPION
ATHLETE IF AMERICA
I
I
It isn’t very often that a man so
prominent in national athletics, as
is Avery Brundage. comes to Seward.
Mr. Brundage left today for the In
terior, making the Arctic Circle Tour,
returning to the coast by way of
iSkagwav, but before leaving, the fol
lowing few facts were ascertained.
He is vice-president of the National
j Amateur Athletic Union which or
ganization governs the sport bodies
of America. He is also a member
of the American Olympic games com.
I mittee, chairman of the national
handball committee, and a director
of the Chicago Athletic Club.
In 1912 Mr. Brundage had the hon
or to represent the United States in
the Olympic games which were held
in that year at Stockholm, and in
the decathlon ranked second to the
famous Jim Thrope of whom it was
■said, was the greatest all-round
athlete the world had ever seen.
During the finals Mr. Brundage was
one of the half dozen which com
peted. During the years of 1914-16
18 Mr. Brundage was America’s
champion all-round athlete. When
questioned about the decathlon
Brundage said ten track events were
featured and w'ere run off in the
order named; 100 yard dash, short
j put. high jump, one-half mile heel
land toe walk, 16 pound hammer
throw, pole vault, high hurdles, 56
| pound weight throw, broad jump.
J mile run. During the running off
|of these events the competing ath
letes were on the field for at least
six or seven hours, he said, and at
the conclusion many of the athletes
required three or tour days to re
cuperate, so strenous were they, es
pecially the 56 pound weight throw
and the heel and toe walk.
Prior to going Westward on his
recent hunting trip Mr. Brundage,
while in Seward, was greatly sur
prised to find so many handball en
thusiasts in such a small community,
and he was especially agreeably sur
prised to find a gymnasium here.
; At that time he took on a few of
the local boys and a number of en
joyable games were played. Since
his departure the local men have
been looking forward with much
pleasure to his return. Yesterday
moring and last evening was spent
by Mr. Brundage and local players
| at the gymnasium and during that
time Mr. Brundage, who many times
jhas faced national champions and
beaten them too, demonstrated some
of the finer points of the game.
The locals learned a lot from him
and only wish that he could have
made his stay longer. Of handball,
Mr. Brundage said that it is the fast
est growing sport in popularity in
the country.
