Mark Spitz a big festival hit

Mark Spitz, the all-time great swimmer, has come and gone, and left a legion at young fluttering hearts in his wake. The handsome young swimmer who developed his talent at Indiana university, made his first Hoosier public appearance at North Webster last Wednesday,, following his triumph at Olympiad XX at Munich, Germany. A Big Hit Spitz arrived in Kosciusko county last Tuesday night from Indianapolis, and put up at the Warsaw Holiday Inn with his young bride of one month, his father and business manager. His first public appearance was at the parking lot at North Webster at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday where an exblazoned white sign on a fire-red background greeted the Spitz entourage with “Welcome Mark Spitz.” A group of admirers of all ages swarmed around the stand to welcome the Spitz party and to attend the ceremonies. The 23-year-old Spitz, appearing shy, smiled through the whole thing and easily captured the hearts of

his listeners. In the above photo he wears the King of Sports banner and holds the crown which sat on his handsome young head precipitously. He had words of praise for the newly developed King of Sports program for what it is doing for young athletes oh a community level. He said he was in a similar youth sports program in his native California when he first became interested in sports. Spitz was a dental student at Indiana university at Bloomington, but originally came to Bloomington because of this school’s fine swimming program. Most everyone knows by now that Spitz won seven gold medals at the Olympic games at Munich and set seven world records as well. His name is a household word throughout the world. Schenkel Is MC A second headliner at the appearance of Mark Spitz was Chris Schenkel, American Broadcasting Company sportscaster who is now a familiar figure in the Lakeland.area. He appeared as master of ceremonies, and was accompanied by his striking wife, Fran. Schenkel, too? is well known in the world of sports, principally . for his work as a network sport-” scaster. Schenkel is a native of neighboring Bippus, but has made, his home for the past several years on Lake Tippecanoe. * Sell-Out At Tippy Spitz and his party were special guests at a luncheon at the Tippecanoe Country club at noon mi Wednesday. It was- a sell-out affair, even at $25 per person. When the Spitz party entered the room, Schenkel took the young swimmer to each table and introduced him, giving many local shutterbugs a chance to take pictures of Spitz with members of their local parties. A highlight of the luncheon was the presentation of the gold medallion bearing the likeness of Spitz, especially struck by the Franklin Mint for this occasion, according to J. Homer Shoop, founder of the International Palace of Sports, who made the presentation. Spitz spoke briefly again, praising the King of Sports program. This was televised and played over area TV sports shows Wednesday evening. Spitz was deluged by members of the press following his ap-

pearance at the North Webster parking lot and following the country club luncheon. He proved a friendly person to interview who fielded all questions with considerable frankness and grace for such a young man. His party was taken to Baer Field, Fort Wayne, at midafternoon, and the party flew to Cincinnati, Ohio, where Spitz was to attend a wedding of a friend. During his short visit in Kosciusko county, the Spitz party was under heavy security, most of it stemming from the unfortunate incident at Munich where the Israeli athletes were kidnapped and killed. Spitz is a Je.w and the fear for his life results as a by-product of the Israeli-Arab conflict in the Middle East. Cooperating in the heavy security were state police, members of sheriff Dave Andrews department, and local police. A Perfect Day Officials of the Mermaid Festival at North Webster called the Spitz appearance “a perfect day,” and it certainly appeared so. As Homer Shoop commented, “I don’t know what we’ll have to do next year as an encore.” Everyone who met young Spitz came away pleased. He appeared • cordial and willing to answer all questions and to pose for local

photographers. The press in general had a good word for the young athlete. His appearance here qertainly belied rumors of his stand-offishness.
