These people must be said to make up the backbone of their profession. There are those who accomplish a great deal of the work that is performed by physical education without ever receiving much acclaim or notariety. Such a man was Charlie Hayse Foster. Perhaps too often in physical education a man's worth is Judged by the amount of national acclaim he has received, or his achievements as a ranking officer of the American Association of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, or by the number of his publications. The writer does not wish to intimate that these factors are not important but merely to indicate that the subject of this work did not contribute in this manner. It should be pointed out that Charlie Hayse Foster has gained national recognition only as a track coach. He has not served as an officer in the na­ tional organization or as a chairman of association commit­ tees, nor has he written extensively. Rather, his accom­ plishments can be measured in other important ways. The contributions he has made are numerous and signi­ ficant. He was outstanding in the area of high school teaching, coaching, and administration. He was active in college administration, both as an athletic director and division chairman, and was a fine teacher and coach on the college level. In addition, he made many professional con­ tributions in the state of Nebraska. Foster worked diligently in the business of education throughout his entire lifetime. It was Ruskin who said of education: Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It Is a painful, continual and difficult work to be done by kindness, by watching, by warning, by precept, and by praise, but above all — by example.1 Few have set a better example than Charlie Hayse Foster. As an educator he touched the lives of numerous young men in the forty-three years of his teaching and coaching career. He was a man who understood, helped, and truly cared for the individual. It shall be the purpose of this study to examine Mr. Foster*s early life and education; service rendered during his high school teaching, administrative, and coaching career; his qualities as a physical educator, administra­ tor, and coach on the college level; his contributions to ^-Lewis C, Henry (ed.), Five Thousand Quotations for All Occasions (New York: Doubleday and Company, Inc*7 1945) p. 7 2 1 the growth and development of the department of physical education at Kearney State College; his Influence upon students and colleagues; and his contributions to physical education and athletics In the state of Nebraska and throughout the nation. In search of primary sources of data, the author traveled to the family home near Doniphan, Nebraska, in order to gain insight into Foster's family background

  • SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13
    1964 MEN Trials were held in Los Angeles on September 12/13, some 5 weeks before the Games, after semi-final Trials were held at Travers Island in early July with attendances of 14,000 and 17,000 on the two days. To give the full picture, both competitions are analyzed here. SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13 OT - 100 Meters - September 12, 16.15 Hr 1. 5.

Bernie Rivers (New Mexico) 10.4e Bob Hayes had emerged in 1962, after a 9.3y/20.1y double at the '61 NAIA, and inside 3 seasons had stamped himself as the best 100 man of all-time. However, in the AAU he injured himself as he crossed the line, and he was in the OT only because of a special dispensation. In the OT race Newman started well but soon faded and Hayes, Jackson and Pender edged away from the field at 30m, with Hayes' power soon drawing clear of the others. He crossed the line 5ft ahead, still going away, and the margin of 0.1 clearly flattered Jackson. A time of 10.3 would have been a fairer indication for both Jackson and Ashworth rather than the official version of 10.4, while Stebbins and Rivers (neither officially timed) are listed at 10.4e from videotape.

INTRODUCTION Amateur athletes must abide by strict rules set out by various organizations to be eligible to compete in athletic events. Elite athletes wishing to compete in the Olympic Games have many con- cerns besides their athletic performance. These athletes must fol- low drug-testing rules set forth by their nation's Olympic Committee, the International Olympic Committee, and interna- tional athletic federations.' If an athlete tests positive for drugs before, during, or after competition, he or she may be declared in- eligible, and a world record can be invalidated.
