m ' (jBfev z L K " ' WVi Scholarship, Surprize Bolster Track Team A surprise return for the Wave was Marcus Anderson. After a season with the Chicago Bears of the NFL, Anderson re- turned to Tulane to run. Unfor- tunately, an early season mini- camp called Anderson back to Chicago before the Metro Championships. Lionel Washington, also a football standout, was the Wave ' s most consistent sprinter. Other football players who helped the track team were Nat Dorsey, Lindsey Cooper, Vince Manalla, Treg Songy, and Vic Perez. The resurgence of the Tulane track team continued in 1982 with the return of all but four lettermen. Under the guidance of coach Danny Thiel, the Wave finished in 5th place in the Metro Con- ference. One of the bright spots this season was freshman Jay Pen- nington, the first track athlete on scholarship in 10 years. ,1 Front row: Kurk Hill, Henry Miles, Dan Sullivan, Charles Collins, Karl Kallacher, Lionel Washington.

Sailors Wave Competition Consistently among the top five teams in the nation, the Tulane Sailing team once again placed high in competition. For the past several years, the Tulane Sailing team has placed higher nationally than any other Tulane team competing on an intercollegiate level. This year, Ail-Americans Jens Hooken- son and Ralph Kinder led the way to a third place finish at the National Intercollegiate Regatta at Annapolis, Maryland. Important in Tulane ' s high ranking were two first place finishes in home regattas. In December, the Wave held off arch-rival Texas to grab the top spot in the Sugar Bowl Regatta. During Mardi Gras, the Windjammer Regatta brought schools from the North- east — Tufts and Hobart — and schools from as far away as Michigan, Washington, and California to participate in an 18 race competition. A last minute charge by Tulane sailors in the final race gave the Wave a slim one point victory over a competitive Tufts team. An important support group of the sail- ing team is the 245 member Tulane Sailing Club. The Club provides an organized pro- gram to introduce, improve, and promote the sport of sailing. From the membership, top sailors are chosen to compete on the intercollegiate level. Hiking out, this sailor tacts upwind toward the finish line in the Sugar Bowl Regatta. Rounding the point, two Tulane sailors race by the Lake Ponchartrain lighthouse. 114 Sailing
