Olym pic hopeful carries torch
Tauheed Ibn Sadruddin expects
to represen! the tinned Stales in ihe
1988 Olympiad Thai goal, plus his
prowess as a nationally recognized
fencer, landed him a spot among the
group of runners who will carry this
year’s Olympic torch through the
streets of Portland.
He is being sponsored by Pacific
Northwest Bell He was one of two
runners unanimously chosen for the
honor by the Governor’s Council on
Health. Fitness and Sports Accor­
ding to Ron A llen, Oregon com­
munity affairs manager for PNB,
"W e asked the governor’s council
to select two young athletes from
throughout Oregon who had excep­
tional ability and potential to be
Olympians. Tauheed's skills and
Olympic ambitions qualified him
for that select group.”
The 17-year old Benson High
School junior has been fencing for
about five years. He was attracted
to the sport by Portland Parks
Department fencing instructor
Colleen Onley. Presently, he is a
member of the Salle-Auriol School
and is coached by Yeves Auriol.
He recently placed fifth in
national ju n io r competition. His
immediate goal is to make the
Junior W orld Team against top
caliber fencing talent.
Tauheed feels his affiliation with
the Salle-Auriol school gives him an
edge over many Americans. Auriol
is the U.S. Olympic fencing coach,
and many of the school's members
are Olympic caliber.
Running is just one way the five
foot, 10-inch, 149-pound, Sadrud­
din prepares himself for com­
petition. In addition to an overall
conditioning program, he estimates
he spends more than 12 hours a
week fencing.
Following high school, he is
aiming for a scholarship to a
college, such as Penn State, Colum­
bia or Notre Dame, with a strong
fencing program.
The Olympic Torch Relay, of
which Tauheed will be a part, began
its cross-country journey in New
York several weeks ago It will end
in Los Angeles on July 28th,
following an 80-day journey
through 31 states.
A T A T , the sponsor of the Relay,
has named portions o f the run in
which local, sponsored runners par­
ticipate as a ’ ’ Youth Legacy
Kilometer.”
Pacific Northwest Bell designated
that its sponsorship fee ($3,000) be
donated locally to the Boy’s Club
and the Family “ Y ” .
“ This is an outstanding oppor­
tunity for us to recognize a special
person like Tauheed," said Allen,
an Olympic Torch cadre runner
himself. “ We are excited about this
opportunity for him.”
Tauheed is 17 and the son of M r.
and Mrs. Tauheed Sadruddin.

Jerry Howell, new head football
coach at Eastern Oregon State
College, is looking for 30-40 "hard-
nosed, aggressive players” from
around the Pacific Northwest to
rebuild a solid football squad.
“ W ith the approved changes in
the football program here at
Eastern, there is a return to an em­
phasis on regional and local high
school recruiting. We now have a
young and inexperienced program
that portrays the N orthw est,”
Howell said M onday, the first day
on his new job.
He said he needs between 30 to 40
players "to field any kind of team.”
The college administration earlier
this year agreed to recruit players
from Washington, Idaho and
Oregon high schools to attract
students who fit into the rural en­
vironment of Eastern Oregon.
"W e are looking for players who
like the beautiful outdoors and
culture offered here and who are in­
terested
in
getting
a good
education,” Howell added
How ell holds two master's
degrees and will stress a solid
academic program right along with
the physical program of football.
“ I realize that football is not all
encompassing. It is not the final an­
swer to life ’s problems but it does
help a person realize his strengths
and weaknesses. It is academics that
serve as the tools that the students
carry away with them into the
world.”
For himself, Howell said he has
“ never wanted to be anything but a
football coach, ever since I was a lit­
tle kid.”
He played defensive back for San
Jose State and later coached at New
Mexico State University, Occidental
College in Eagle Rock, C a lif., and
at Claremont College in California.
“ My
real
strengths
are
organization, administration and a
sound knowledge of the game I feel
I have a broad background since I
have coached at all levels.”
“ A t this stage in my coaching
career, I know the ups and downs of
the game and I will not be in a hurry
to tell people things that won’t come
true,” said the 38-year old C alifor­
nia native.
“ But I can say I will build a sound
program from the ground up.”
H ow ell and his w ife, Patricia,
come from rural backgrounds and
look forw ard to their move to La
Grande.
