Frank Wykoff, famed for world-record-breaking sprinting dashes
in Glendale High School, University of Southern California, and
Olympic games competition, paced slowly in a Good Samaritan Hospital
corridor last night (10-22-36).
When a daughter was born to his wife, he smiled more broadly than
he ever had when he hit a cinder path tape.
The baby, Marjorie Louise, weighs seven pounds, two ounces. Dr.
Charles Salisbury reported her doing well with her mother, the former
Ethel Mae Richardson, who attended Glendale High School with Wykoff
and later was a U. C. L. A. student.
Wykoff was the only American runner to make the Olympic track and
field squad for the third time when he went to Berlin last summer.
A month ago he said he was putting aside his track shoes for good.
He was appointed principal of the Carpinteria grammar school last
August.
