"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.

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. Turner Second In League Golf Ploy 92; Jack Stentz, 96. These scores helped the Climbers to second place in the Olympic League, al. though they had fifth overall.

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.

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.

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.
