A Faculty Of
Former Athletes
By Jack McCleneghan
Collegian Sports Writer
We were talking to Dr. Bob Comegys. assistant professor of history,
about athletes of the past. Comegys was a former scribe ln his under¬
graduate days at the University of Washington. He got to talking
about some of his fellow faculty colleagues who competed In colleg¬
iate athletics.
Never one to miss some good copy, wo talked to some of these
gentlemen about their former athletic careers and found out some
Interesting sidebars.
Dr. Karl Falk. head of the social science division, certainly has a
"fantastic momolr" of past glory.
Falk captained the 1932 Stanford Indians soccer team to a West
Coast Conference championship, then went to the University of Berlin
on an International Exchange Fellowship prior to tho Nam takeover
of Germany In 1933.
Falk was an officiating member of the Olympic Organizing Com¬
mittee In 1936 while ln Berlin. Basketball waa being Introduced to
Europe and Falk barnstormed throughout Europe to help introduce
tho sport.
Neismith and Beer Bottles
Dr. James Neismith. the founder ot basketball, came lo the Berlin
Games  and   Falk  was  assigned  as  Netsmlth's  personal  guide  during
As a referee In the '36 Olympics, Falk recalled his experience In
officiating a game between Ihe wotnen"s teams or Poland and Hun¬
gary.
"The Hungary- fans yelled nnd threw beer bottles at me because I
was calling fouls on their loam which lost to the great team from
Poland," -...ii! Faik.
149 Lb. Guard
Dr. William Beatty. Jr., professor of social science, was a football
and track man at Colorado College from 1929-33.
Beatty's rootball career was shortened when he Injured his knee
prior to Colorado's loss to the Army 27-7.
"I weighed 149 lbs. and played guard that year. It was quite com¬
mon In those days to sec a small, fast man In tho guard slot,'' said
Beatty.
Bsstty lettered three straight years In track running the 100, 220
and 440 yard dashes.
Dean Dallas Tueller played basketball ln tbe old Rocky Mountain
Conference (now tho Skyline Conference) at Brlgham Young from
1929-31.
Lighter Bats
Dr. BUI Young, assistant professor of political science, played semi-
pro baseball before World War II started.
Young was a catcher in the Central Oregon League In 1938. went
to a league In Osklaad In 1939 and finally handled the backstop
chores for Modesto Junior College from 1939-40 where he batted
over .300. • ■„•.*•■•
"I renumber the type of ball played In Hawaii when I waa sta¬
tions*! there ror a short Urns during the war. You played against
mostly professional ballplayers who hod been called to service when
their careers w«r» Just getting started." sold Young.
Young thought tbe main reason for the Increased output In home
runs was due to ths lighter, thinner bat.
"Another reason for lost year's production In. the American League
wss the ten team eipanslon which weakened the pitching siaffs."
said Young.
