AQUATIC HAWAII in the OLYMPIC GAMES by Edwin North Mcclellan the Tum Ult Over the Olympic Games of 1952 Has Faded Away AQUATIC HAWAII IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES By Edwin North McClellan The tum ult over the Olympic Games of 1952 has faded away. At Helsinki, Fin­ land, swimmers of Hawaii surpassed the performances of the swimmers of any of the forty-eight States; but I rate our 1952-Hawaiian-Team behind 1920 and 1924 in that order. The ten World-Champions from Hawaii, who have won first-place Olympic gold-medals, form a very exclusive and distinguished group—Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, Warren Kealoha, Pua Kealoha (relay), Mariechen Wehselau (relay), Clarence “Buster” Crabbe, Bill Smith, Thelma Kalama (relay), Ford Konno, Yo- shinobu Oyakawa, and Bill Woolsey (relay). All these ten swimmers, as well as others of Hawaii who have scored points in the Olympics, have been nominated as members of the Hawaiian-Aquatic-Hall-of-Fame. In the Forecast, October, 1950, 1 wrote that George "D ad” Center "is among the ‘first ten in the Hawaiian-Hall-of- Fame,’ ” and that Dad “shares with Duke Kahanamoku the honor of being the Outrigger Canoe Club’s ‘most honored member.’ ” The Outrigger Canoe Club, its aquatic athletes, coaches and other members, have performed a fine share of the work as Hawaii achieved its Olympic victories; but the Club and members have much important work in the coming four years.

The Amateur Athletic Foundation is itself the legacy of the 1984 Olympic Games. The Foundation is dedicated to expanding the understanding of sport in our communities. As a part of our effort, we have joined with the Southern California Olympians, an organization of over 1,000 women and men who have participated on Olympic teams, to develop an oral history of these distinguished athletes. Many Olympians who competed in the Games prior to World War II agreed to share their Olympic experiences in their own words. In the pages that follow, you will learn about these athletes, and their experiences in the Games and in life as a result of being a part of the Olympic Family. The Amateur Athletic Foundation, its Board of Directors, and staff welcome you to use this document to enhance your understanding of sport in our community. ANITA L.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

Beachboys, tourists, friends and family came with canoes, surfboards and boats to say goodbye to Hawaii's favorite son, Duke Paoa Kahanamoku. It was January of 1968, five days after Duke Kahanamoku died ofa heart attack at age 77. The first halfofthe funeral service was held at St. Andrews Episcopal Cathedral. Duke's good friend, entertainer Author Godfrey gave the eulogy. He outlined Duke's magnificent career and expressed his own love for Duke. He said, "Duke gave these islands a new dimension. He was a godlike creature in a way and yet a mischievous boy at heart. As big and strong as he was, he was as gentle as a baby."l Once the church services were complete, a motorcade made its way to Waikiki Beach to say goodbye and scatter his ashes. The beach, in front ofthe Royal Hawaiian Hotel, was where Duke could have been found most and was where he surfed, paddled, swam, played ukulele and met Nadine, his wife.

The Longhorns finished with 512 points, 11 more than the Stanford Cardinal. That margin of victory is the closest since the advent of the 16-place scoring system in 1985. Divers made the difference for the Longhorns. Troy Dumais was named diver of the meet for the third straight time after sweeping the spring- board events and taking fifth on platform. With his win in the three- meter event, he became the first diver in NCAA history to win an event all four years. Photo by Erik S.
