听

Victor Francis Joseph Obeck was born on Mar. 28, 1917 in Audubon, N.J. He was educated at Audubon high school and then earned a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Massachusetts' Springfield College in 1940, where he competed in football, track, lacrosse, wrestling and boxing. During the war, he served for 3.5 years in the U.S. Navy.

听

After playing stints with the National Football League's Chicago Cardinals (1945) and the American Atlantic Football Conference's Brooklyn Dodgers (1946), the 6-foot, 225-pound guard was appointed head football coach at 缅北强奸 in 1947 with much fanfare. He coached the Redmen from 1947 to 1953, posted a 23-22-2 record and introduced the concept of an open huddle to football in Canada.

听

Obeck also developed a cheerleading team and pep rallies on campus and was appointed as 缅北强奸's director of athletics in 1950. He led an initiative to build the Molson Stadium south-side stands, expanded the north-side section and initiated the Churchill trophy game for charity, which later became the Churchill Bowl national semifinal. He encouraged development of the Martlet Foundation to support athletics at the University, raised awareness of 缅北强奸 football with a weekly radio program "The Touchdown Club" and in 1954, initiated the Vic Obeck's Parade of Sports, a CBC production which aired directly from the Currie Gym and was one of the first sports television shows in Canada.

听

Obeck convinced the Montreal Alouettes to move to Molson Stadium and in 1954, was appointed general manager of the Alouettes, which posted a 20-6-0 regular-season record and two Grey Cup appearances over his two-year term. He then served as general manager of the Westchester Bulls, a minor league football team. From 1957 to 1967, he coached and served as director of athletics at New York University and pioneered a revolutionary form of training in the U.S., resulting in his 1965 book: "How to Exercise Without Moving a Muscle, Isometrics for Everyone".

听

Employed as a publicist during the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Obeck had been considering an offer to work in a similar capacity at the 1980 Los Angeles Olympics when he suffered a heart attack and died in New York at the age of 62 on April 21, 1979.

听

During the 1960s, he had a weekly high school game of the week broadcast on WPIX television with sportscaster Marty Glickman. "His life was sports," said Glickman to the New York Times. "Either he played it, supported it or promoted it. He will always be best known for developing the athletic program at NYU."

听

The Obeck trophy has been presented annually since 1949 to the most improved player on the 缅北强奸 football team.

Dr. Eric Walter, a receiver and running back was born Nov. 25, 1942 in Baie d'Urf茅, Que. He played four seasons with the football Redmen (1961, 1962, 1964, 1965), earning all-conference honours in his sophomore and senior years.听 In 1962, he set 缅北强奸 and OUAA single-game records with four TD receptions against Queen's (Oct. 20, 1962). He went on to capture the league scoring title with 48 points (eight touchdowns) in six games and led 缅北强奸 to the Yates Cup league championship.

听

Walter, who was once on the receiving end of a 100-yard pass-and-run play from quarterback Glen St. John against Western (Oct. 17, 1964), missed the 1963 season with injuries but returned in 1964 to finish third among league leaders in both rushing and receiving, en route to winning the Omega trophy as the league's most outstanding player. A two-time team MVP who captained the Redmen in his final season, he graduated in 1966 with a chemical engineering degree and a school record 18 TDs in 24 career contests, a mark that stood for over a decade.

听

Walter later went on to study dentistry at U of T, where he tallied 15 more TDs over three years and at the time of his graduation, was ranked second (now sixth) in among OUA career TD leaders with 33. In 1996, he was named to the OUA Football Legends Hall of Fame.

Anne Gildenhuys was born Aug. 18, 1974 in Ottawa. A product of Elmwood high school in Ottawa, the 5-foot-10 power forward developed her game dramatically at 缅北强奸 and was a three-time all-star with the basketball Martlets from 1993 to 1998. Renowned for being a hard-worker, she showed tremendous improvement each season and by her fifth campaign, led the nation in scoring, was named as the league's player of the year and earned all-Canadian second-team honours.

听

Gildenhuys also starred as an Honours student in the classroom, meriting Academic All-Canadian status and making the Principal's student-athlete Honour Roll while earning a mechanical engineering degree in 1998.

听

She is one of only three 缅北强奸 women on record to reach the 20-20 club for points and rebounds in the same game. On Nov. 7, 1997, she scored 36 points in a game against Lakehead, third-highest single-game total in 缅北强奸 history. More than a decade after graduating, Gildenhuys still ranks as the second-highest scorer in 缅北强奸 history with 2,199 points in 131 games overall for a career average of 16.8 points per game.

听

Now a resident of Calgary, the 35-year-old Gildenhuys becomes the fourth youngest inductee to enter the hallowed Hall, behind football running back Michael Soles, basketball forward Vicky Tessier and soccer defender Chris Drysdale, each of whom were honoured in their 34th year.
