SPORTS SPLINTERS -- Ink was bare-
ly dry on last week's column when the
phone rang. "You know what Freddy
Steele's real name was?" Bob Turner was
on the other end, had just finished reading
the piece scribbled by the Sideliner on Hos-
tak and Steele. Confessing ignorance, I lis-
tcned with mounting interest as Bob re-
lated how Steele, whose real name was
Burgess, had lived next door in the tiny
village of Humptullps back in the 1930's,
how Stesle's (Burgess) father used to take
him to Tacoma on the then all-day trip
nver dirt roads in open cars to fight on the
Tacoma Smelter Club boxing cards at Rus-
trn. Steele/Burgess attended grade school
at Humptulips a few years ahead of Bob,
whose most vivid recollection of the fighter
still is his big feet.
Very next day (Friday) at the Me-
morial Day services at Shelton cemetery,
Max Latzel commented that his memories
were stirred by the same article. He'd been
among the 35,000 sports buffs who saw
the Steele-Hostak fight in the old Civic
Stadium in Seattle as was Arn Cheney, then
an Aberdeen resident, now one of Shelton's
most avid and active golfers.
Central Kitsap completed a tremendous
and possibly never equalled athletic year
last week when the Cougar baseball team
wrauped up the sixth Olympic League
sports title of the 1968-69 school year.
Besides the diamond diadem, CK athletes
won football, basketball, wrestling, golf
and cross country pennants, missing only
t',e titles in track (won by Shelton) and
tennis (won by East Bremerton). The Cou-
gars figure to be potent again next year in
at least four of the same six sports.

Bill Dickie's SIDELINE SLANTS
Set Here
Comes Commencement each spring and
we of sporting spirit, for long years past,
tune a thought or two to the wavelength
of high school athletics and the individuals
who contributed the highlights therein
since the previous September.
Some of us mull over the question on
whom might rightly rest the crown "Ath-
lete of the Year." At times, a clear-cut
choice cannot be come by and split verdicts
result. Then, other years yield decisive
decisions.
While the 1969 reckoning falls into the
latter category, pause is caused in thought
procession to the ultimate destination due
to the quiet, unauming, bordering-on-shy
nature of the inevitable recipient, who,
incidentally, was party to one of those
dimidiate decrees in 1968.
A year ago seniors Jerry Spark s and
Jan Donaldson shared the title with a ju-
nlor athlete when no clearly defined supe-
riority among them was discernible. Now,
as a senior, no question remains but that
the crown should adorn, alone, the bashful
brow of Marvin Ward Willson, a 5-foot-7
bundle of muscle and modesty weighing in
at approximately the 140-pound mark
whose unpretentlous demeanor tends to
cloak his skills.
Mary is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ansel
Marvin Willson, formerly of 305 Roosevelt
street, and is a rural Alabaman by birth,
his parents having resided at a place listed
as Repton in Conecuh county when he first
saw the light of day on June 29, 1950.
Mary's parents last December moved back
to Alabama, but Mary remains a Sheltonian
and will play his fourth and final season of
Junior Legion baseball this summer. He
first came to Shelton as a 7th grader, too
young to have acquired a permanent south-
ern accent.
second straight school term -- one of only
five Highclimber athletes to capture three
first team insignias this year. What pro-
polled Mary ahead of his competition was
his individual achievements in his three
fields of athletic endeavor.
In football, for example, he was voted
the Mr. Hustle and Inspirational honors by
his teammates and an Olympic League all-
star second team position by his opponents
as an offensive halfback. In wrestling he
was elected team captain and the squad's
outstanding performer for the season, for
excellent reason. He lost only two matches
all year, one of those in the state meet
where he won five of six and finished
third in the 141-pound division. On the
route to the state meet he picked up both
the Olympic League and district 141-pound
championships. His lone loss prior to state
meet was to an opponent .who gained a
slender early lead, then "ran" the rest of
the match. In baseball, Mary was named
co-captain and played a versatile role which
included outfield, infield and pitching as
well as swinging in the power section of
the batting order.
That 3.sport record was more than his
chief contenders -- seniors Bud Tuson and
Bill Daniels and junior Jim Corey -- could
muster. Bud and Bill were football, basket-
ball and golf teammates. Bud captained
both the grid and links teams and was
Olympic League all-star second team quar-
terback. Bill was first team offensive end
and second team defensive halfback in
Olympic all-star voting, and held down the
No. 2 spot on the golf team. Corey's credits
for cormideraflon included the inspirational
award and second team Olympic League
all-star rating in basketball, and the in.
ents are not members of the golf club she
must pay greens fees to play this summer.
If you have any baby-sitting or other jobs
which can be handled by a girl golfer with
ambitions to win a varsity letter next year
Kim would appreciate the opportunity to
work for her greens fees this summer.
Ex-Climbsr basketball coach Jerry Ver-
million told his audience at the Jaycee
spring sports banquet last week that his
long (but neat) hair and budding Fu Man-
chu mustache was a "coaching device" in
his role as basketball mentor at St. Mar-
tin's College. He figures, he said, his ton-
sorial accoutrements will help recruiting
activities this summer, then he can use It
as ",an example of sacrifice" for sqtmd
members when he "neatens up" as prac-
tice starts next fall.
This recent hole-in-one spree at the Bay-
shore golf course calls to mind the bing-
bing-bing aces struck by Phil Bayley, Guy
Beckwith, and Joe Holt in April of 1962.
The trio bagged their tee shots within
a 72-hour period, Phil on the 7th hole,
Guy and Joe on the 3rd. Phil added his
second single-shot hole last fall, again on
the 7th.
An achievement equivalent to a hole-in-
one was recorded a few mornings back
when Alvin "Pop" Hulbert scored a two
on Bayshore's tough 400.yard 6th hole.
Hulbert, who doesn't have youth in his
corner for such things (he recently re-
tired from a lengthy Simpson service),
banged a long wood from the fairway and
the ball left a trail through the morning
dew as it rolled across the green into the
cup. "I'd never have suspected that ball
went there but for that track," Pop com-
mented afterward.

DAHMAN DEVII DRIVE
TO 19th HOLE LEAD
, Changes came in who!esale
lots as the 19th Hole Club men's
golf league staged a rung swap-
pin rampage during last week's
fifth pairing of teams. When the
smoke of battle had cleared
eight lineups lined up on new
perches and the ranks of indivi-
dual perfection was slashed in
half.
The new team leader was Ern-
ie Dahman's Daredevils, who par-
layed a 13-out-of-16 possible points
performance into a vault from
fourth to first place. Two weeks
ago the 'Devils were submerged
in seventh place. Another profit-
'able move came hwn the Bob
"Coots' Cougars, who clawed
from flfth to third on an 11-for-
16 achievement. Lngest tobog-
gan ride of the competition was
the slide from third to seventh
by the Larry Larson Lashers,
after a 5-for-18 letdown. The Bob
We!den Warriors continued their
skid, this time into the basement,
after an abominable 2-for14 dis-
aster.
Only Ray Rice, Andy Tuson
and Clyde Coots held to perfec-
tion by winning their fifth con-
secutive matches, although Bob
Slettcdahl, unable to play, still
has a perfect 4-for-4 mark and
Ron Ellis has 3-for-3 after miss-
ing the first two rounds of play.
Seven others are undefeated but
have ties marring their marks -
Art Bennett, Bean Danleis, and
Tom Garrett with one tie in five
starts, Wally Mohrmann and Purl
Jemison with two in five, Mary
Anstey with three in five, and
Ernie Dahman with two in four.
With four pairing to go, the
standing stood in this order:
wk ssn pct
Jack Jeffery 8/16 55/96 .573
Ivan Myers 9/20 58/100 .580
Bob +Coots 11/16 51/88 .579

N LEADS PRESIDENT'S
CUP COMPETITION WITH 2O8
Of four entries completed 54-
hole scores, Larry rson leads
the 1969 President's cup field with
tough-to-match 208 gross. Seven-
teen other challengers who have
not completed the 54 holes may
well find Larson's links log a
figure beyond reach. Four have
played 36 holes, with Harry Cole
and Ray Rice at 140 holding the
best shots at Larson's lead. Lar-
son had 135 at the 36-hole mark.
The competition is played at
100 percent handicap. Larson shot
rounds of 70-65-73 on his 12-stroke
spot for his 208 gross. No one
among those who have turned
in scores so far has matched
his second round 77-12-65. BOb
Coots holds second at 210 among
the 54-hole scores wh his 74-
69-67 on a 16-stroke handicap.
Clyde Coots is in at 219 with
70-74-75 on a 13 spot, and Fred
Stuller holds at 220 after 76-74-70
with 12 handicap.
Cole's 36-hole 140 was built on
72-68-22, Rice's on 69-71-16. Bob
Cleon stands at 142 on his 71-
71-14 figures, Glen Rohertson at
144 on 71-73-16. Three 18-hole
cards find Ivan Myers at 73-15,
Gary Nicloy at 73-19, and Val
Sienko at 75-18. Ten entries have
yet to post figures.
