Washington as It Was, 1923-1959 Professional golf's all-time leading tournament winner Kathy Whitworth was born on September 27, 1939, in Monahans, Texas. Whitworth started playing golf at the age of fifteen. At nineteen she joined the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour. Over the next fifteen years, she received the LPGA Player of the Year Award seven times. Whitworth won her first tournament, the Kelly Girl Open, in 1962. Three years later, she was named the Associated Press Athlete of the Year. She received the award again in 1967. For her outstanding performance between 1968 and 1977, Golf Magazine named Whitworth "Golfer of the Decade." Whitworth was inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame in 1975, but didn't rest on her laurels. By 1982, she had captured 82 LPGA titles. Whitworth won her 88th in 1985, setting the tournament victory record for a professional golfer, man or woman. Although she occasionally competes in senior tournaments, Whitworth's focus today is not on winning golf tournaments, but helping other women master the game. She has authored a golf handbook for women and teaches golf clinics nationwide.

Dmitri Gorshkov and Revaz Chomakhidze goaled twice each, and Alexander Yeryshov, Marat Zakirov and Sergei Garbuzov once. Italians were first to goal with a numerical superiority Luigi Dicostanzo three minutes after the start. Russians, however, soon took the upper hand with 2-1 thanks to captain Dmitri Gorshkov and forward Alexander Yeryshov. Marat Zakirov goaled again in a second time, Russia leading by 2. Many thought the game was done even then before Italy's Bohdan Raht goaled twice and Leonardo Binci once to lead 4-3. A dramatic third time brought only one goal, Revaz Chomakhidze's, with Russian numerical superiority. Dmitri Gorshkov opened the fourth getting his team to lead, 5-4. Attacks followed to both sides, Sergei Garbuzov 6-4 and Alberto Angelini 6-5. Revaz Chomakhidze goaled a seventh 53 seconds before the end. Bohdan Raht hit back 17 seconds later. The last minutes were thick with suspense as Russians chose caution against Italians anxious to drawin vain.

Despite a test series win over the powerful Hungarians in Australia earlier this year the Australians were relegated to 13th position in the pre-Olympic qualifying tournament in Berlin in February. This means that, apart from the host US squad, all teams competing in Atlanta will be from Europe - a development that may cause IOC Water Polo officials to reconsider the structure of future Olympic tournaments, commencing with Sydney in 2000. The Europeans take their Water Polo very seriously and a number of strong professional leagues have developed. But, as applies to many other Olympic sports, the pressure for global equality is resulting in strong moves for continental representation in the future. This would give Australia almost certain qualification from the 2004 Olympic Games. As host nation, Australia will automatically qualify for Sydney in four years' time.

106. Waterpolo Origin From the 1912 Olympics, the water polo ball was a leather soccer ball whichabsorbed water and became extremely heavy, slippery and lopsided when wet. http://www.rewp.net/origin.html

Redwood Empire Water Polo Santa Rosa, CA Sonoma County Origins of Water Polo There is little documentation as to the origins of water polo. However, we do know that the term "polo" is the English pronunciation of the Indian word "pulu," meaning ball. Just as the ball game played on horseback became known as "polo," the ball game played in water became known as "water polo," although there in no connection between the two sports. The game that evolved into modern water polo began as a form of rugby football played in rivers and lakes with the object to "carry" the ball to the opponent's side. By 1869, an Indian rubber ball began replacing the original ball which was made from a pig's stomach. One year later, the London Swimming Club developed rules for football to be played in swimming pools. The first official game was played in the Crystal Palace Plunge in London. The early games were generally exhibitions of brute strength. Passing, punting and dribbling were scarcely ever practiced. Each player considered it his duty to score goals without regard to position. A goal was scored by placing the ball, with two hands, on the top of the tank end. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five- to nine-inch ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, then appear again as near the goal as possible. Should the player come up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck.

GSB Athletic Champions (This article appeared in Stanford Business School's alumni magazine in the Fall 1980.) “Blazin’ Ben” Eastman, MBA '35, Olympic track star Perhaps the best known GSB alumnus athlete is Benjamin Bangs Eastman, MBA'35, who has been referred to as the greatest, middle distance runner of his time. "Blazin' Ben," as he was called on the Farm, set six individual world records in his heyday—440 yards, 400 meters, 880 yards, 800 meters, 500 yards, 600 yards, and anchored a four-man Stanford relay team to a world record. His achievements brought him to the cover of the July 11, 1932 issue of Time. In a profile in which his running style and training methods, as well as his track achievements, were described, Time said of him, “If U.S. track coaches had been trying to pick an Olympic team last week, there was one name which they surely would have chosen—Benjamin Bangs Eastman.

History Home ACT Clubs Contact Details Links ... Competitions In fact Water Polo was alive and kicking many years before. To establish a regular local competition a venue would have to found. Both the pools in Canberra (Civic and Manuka) had managers that were not sympathetic to water polo. The odd games were played but there was no provision for the permanent establishment of a competition. The majority of games in the early years were played at the Duntroon Pool. Clive Harvey in his book, "That's where I met my wife: The story of the first swimming pool in the National Capital at Canberra" (Manuka Pool), has a section on Water Polo. He says that equipment for Water Polo was requested and rejected in 1932. However small ring bolts were provided high up on the walls. He says the first recorded match was an inter-district match in February 1934 between Goulburn and Canberra Swimming Clubs. Yass joined soon after. "Scratch" games within the club continued. Andrew "Boy" Charlton was Captain of the club and instrumental in the development of the sport in the mid 1930s.

112. UCC Swimming & Waterpolo The history of Waterpolo At the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis, only US clubteams were willing to compete under American rules and in horrid conditions. http://www.ucc.ie/students/socs/swimming/history.htm

The History of Waterpolo There is little documentation as to the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby football. Early games used an inflated, vulcanized rubber ball imported from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the ball and the game became known as "waterpolo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association developed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, then appear again as near the goal as possible. If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. The introduction of the "Trudgeon stroke" by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of l0 x 3 feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball.
