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.

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.

    96 DIVISION I Swimming and Diving DIVISION I 2002 Championships Highlights Texas Hooks Up Swimming Title: The Texas Longhorns pulled out their third consecutive championship in dramatic fashion, coming back to take the lead in the second-to-last event of the meet and holding on for the victory. 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.
