Nov.\ 9, 1960 NOTED WITH INTEREST l The Helms Athle'tic Foundation, on ,its 24th aruiiversary (Oct~ 15, 1960) 1 selected . "The Greatest Teams in American Sports History." In the track and field category, the San Francisco Olympic Club team of 1940 was selected . as the t,op club while the 193& Southern California squad was picked as the best college team of all tirrie, Here are the reasons the foundation made its selections. A group of distinguished coaches -sat around a table at the invitation of the Helms Ath: letic Foundation to determine :.America's ·gr~atest amateur club team. The coaches . ... ( · I Jinally singled out three teams which were most deserving of consider~tion -- the San Fran ;cisco Olympic Club of 194'0, the New York Athletic Club of 1952 and the Southern California Striders of 1959. · \ , It was pointed out during the session that 'the Olympic Club had chalked up 159 points in the National AAU meet of 194Oat Fresno, Calif.; the New YorkA.C. had produced a total of 137 points at Long Beach, Calif. 1 in 1952; and the Striders had collcected a total of 144 points at Boultjer; Colo,, in 1959. Because of the depth of their talent, these three clubs were ·· regarded by the noted coaches (whose names will not be disclosed) as superior to all others. Now, it~as a matter of picking the best. The coaches pondered over this decision but finally gave the honors to the Olympic Club and Helms Athletic Foundation has gone along with it. In the National AAU meet in .1940; the Olympic Club scored 15:9 points while the New York A. c.: \3/as seco,id with 108 points. So ample was the Olympic Club talent that 27 of its athletes figured in the point-scoring, aside from the four who took a second-place in the 400-meter relay. In all, the Olympic Cluh _cap- tured seven gold medals. · , Three Golden Gaters established National AA U marks - - Harold Davis in the 100· and 200, Les Steers in the high jump and Cornelius Warmerdam L11the pole vault. Warmerdan;i's 15'1½" vault was a new world rec.prd, one which he shattered on nume.,rous occasions there after. Charlie Hunter, the team m~nager, was a mighty proud gentleman. It marked the sec- ~ 6nd straight year that the club had downed the heralded New York A.G., ~s it did a year later in Philadelpl1fo.. ' ,... The Olympic Club had trailed the New York A ,C. frequently as it did in 1932, 1934, 1935 and 1938. However, in this anm~al duel of trackand field supremacy, the Olympic Chili managed to down the New York A.,c '. in 1937 at Milw·aukee. This is how the Olympic Club claimed victory in 1940: 100111,Hal Davis (first) 10. 3; 200, Davis (firs~)20. 4; 400,Grover Klernmer (first) 47. 0; 800, Kerman Storli (sixth); 1500,Paul Moore (third); 5,000, Bob Madrid (third); 10,000, Frank Lawrence (fifth); 3000SC, Paul Ganahl (fifth); ll0HH, Torn Moore (fifth); 200LH,Richard Browning (si:X:th);400R, Olympic Club (second);.!:!1_, Les Steers (first) 6 1 8¾'', Hubert Smith (third); BJ, Pat Turner (second), Frank Freeman (third), Edmu.µd Vasconcellos (fifth); PV, Cornelius Warmerdam (first) 15'1½", Bud Deacon (third), Anthony Sunseri (fifth), .

(high jump) ,-,Warmerdam (pole vault), Fox (discus) and Brown (javelin). Brown, incidentally, had previously competed for the University of Oregon and was named to the All-America college team for 1940, - When the illustrious Dean Cromwell, whose te~ms won 12 .NCAA track championships, contends that the University ,of Southern California team of 1936 was the greatest in collegiate history, we'll believe him. Consequently, the Helms Athletic Foundation votes accordingly. The 1936 Trojans chalked up a record total oi 103 1/3 points to capture the title at Stagg Field . in Chicago, on June 19 and 20. To do this, USC was forced to outdistance powerful Ohio State (which registered 73 points). The Buck~yes that year were blessed ;With the likes of Jesse Owens, Charles Beetharn, George O'Brien, Thomas Sexton, Paul Benner, Da:vid Albritton and Melvin Walker. · " ., - Other famed athletes wh9 offered the Trojans ,competition in 1936 included Jack\ Weicr:.. shauser, Sam Klopstock, JimR.eynolds and Phil Levy of Stanford, Charles Fe!1ske of Wiscon;. sin, Don Lash and Tom Deckard of Indiana, Don Elser of Notre Dame, Forrest Towns of '·' Georgia, Archie Williams ' gfqalifornia, Alton Terry of Hardµi-Simmons, Sam Francis ,~£ t \ Page 51 , Nov. 9, 1960 ' \, of Nebraskat Archie San Romani of:Emp9ria State in Kansas, Harvey :Wallende •:r of Texas and Sam Stoller ,and Bob Osgood of Michigan.
