Make that "halfway through". By the way, Brix was a shot putter from the University of Washington.

Re: NCAA Jumps Trivia

How about Herman Brix? He won the silver medal in the 1928 Olympics in the Netherlands. Movie fans know him as Bruce Bennett. Unfortunately, he was killed about halfwat through "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" (his character was shot and killed). My favorite Humphrey Bogart movie.

Re: NCAA Jumps Trivia

one last guess, a faint bell.... Floyd Simmons ?

[hj197steve]

Re: NCAA Jumps Trivia

it was just a guess.... thought maybe he was "hot" after OG win so Hollywood gave him a job. Never up, never in.

Re: NCAA Jumps Trivia

Guinn Smith wins Oly gold the same year movie comes out... would have been a tough double!

Re: NCAA Jumps Trivia

I haven't looked anything up.... just a flat out guess at Smith because PV'ers are athletic and he might be a stunt man or something.

Re: NCAA Jumps Trivia

To quote another great movie idol: "A man's got to know his limitations." I say, if you know the answer off the top of your head, great. If you're devoted/crazy/compulsive enough to want to look it up, that's only slightly less great. Either way, some of us learn something new...

>Let your conscience be your guide.

Alfonso Bedoya, "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges." The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), starring Humphrey Bogart

Voluntary disclaimer: I knew the actor; I knew the quote in general, but always say it wrong from memory; I knew the movie; I knew where to look the rest of it up without looking it up (www.imdb.com); I have never cheated at Trivial Pursuit, but my opponents are watching; I'd rather have the full accurate answer if that's what you know or discover; It's embarrassing when I look it up and still get the wrong answer,

Re: NCAA Jumps Trivia

tandfman, it appears we are all playing on the exact same page. Rules of Reason, Common Sense, and Fair Play apply. That's exactly what I did on Meyers... I KNEW he had won both, but before I posted it, I looked up the exact years. Seemed and seems ok to me to do this type of thing. But maybe it's even better to say something like...
"Don Meyers in the LJ and the PV... pretty sure it's early 60's but can't remember the exact years. "

Anyway it's all just innocent fun so we'll all keep it that way.
