T A N Q U E R A Y A W A R D — S h o w n at a recent gathering of sports buffs at
G allagh er's R estauran t in M a n h a tta n , Franklin Jacobs, right, accepts th e
Tan qu eray A chievem en t A w ard for excellence in the field of am ateur sports
from J o h n E. H eilm ann. president of Som erset Im porters, L td ., a Norton
Sim on Inc. com pany. Franklin Jacobs was honored for his record 7-fo o t, 7 )4 -
inch ju m p at the M illrose Games last January, th at put him up higher than any
A m erican in history His ultim ate objective is to w in a Gold M edal at the 1980
O lym pic G am es in M o s c o w . Som erset Im porters, L td., has sponsored the
T an q u eray A ch ievem en t A w ard for the past eleven years.
“ T h a t is m y u ltim ate o b jec tiv e,”
said Jacobs. " M o r e th an an yth in g
else 1 w an t to w in that gold medal fo r
A m eric a. A ll you have to do is w ant
som ething bad enough. A n d my size
doesn’ t have that much to do w ith it.
I also weigh only 150 pounds so 1
d o n ’t have that much to get up there.
M y advantage is just that I w ant to
w in m ore than anybody else and 1
d o n ’ t care w ho they a re .”
J o h n H e ilm a n n , p re s id e n t o f
Somerset Im p o rte rs , L t d ., sponsor

A w a rd , viewed Jacobs' perform ance
in g o in g n e a rly tw o -fe e t o ver his
height as "p e rh a p s the most spec
tacular in the eleven years that we
h ave re c o g n iz e d e x c e lle n c e in
a m a te u r s p o rts w ith th is a n n u a l
c ita tio n .”
“ W h e n you th in k o f F ra n k lin ’ s
size, it is ju s t a b o u t th e greatest
defiance o f the laws o f gravity since
the cow ju m p e d over the m o o n ,”
said
H e ilm a n n .
"A n d ,

seriously, w hat an inspiration he is to
legions o f yo u n g p eo p le. H e has
achieved these m arks very early in his
career. H e is a great com petitor w ith
a big d rive and it seems likely he w ill
go higher and higher. W e are proud
to bring him in to o ur distinguished
fa m ily o f w in n ers.”
Jaco b s, w h o lives in P a te rs o n ,
New Jersey, where his m other, M rs.
Jannie Jacobs raised her own fam ily
o f eleven children plus fo u r cousins,
said that “ I feel like I ’ m up in the air
again in a really great ju m p , to be in
such high com pany as the other w in
ners o f this a w a rd .”
“ T h a t’ s a pretty good bun ch ,” he
said when he looked over the list o f
