Coach Hops Train to Support Special Olympian

He rode a boxcar to Milwaukee, crossed Lake Michigan, then hitchhiked to Mt. Pleasant arriving midweek. Keane noted hobos shared routes and safety tips while he awaited a ride back to Idaho, still unsettled to see this news in print.

Medals May Be Returned To Thorpe
President Ford urged the International Olympic Committee to restore Jim Thorpe to amateur status and reinstate his 1912 Olympic golds in the decathlon and pentathlon. Grace Thorpe, his daughter, said the letter may prompt recognition. Swedish King Gustav V once hailed Thorpe as the greatest athlete. Officials later learned Thorpe played minor league baseball for 60 dollars a month to support schooling.
