Duke Kahanamoku was Sheriff of Honolulu from 1932 to 1961. It is said that he never made a single arrest. Also acted in numerous movies. Competed against his brother Sam in '24 Olympics (100 meter freestyle, Weismuller gold, Duke silver, Sam bronze).

Eddie Shore did a McSorley on Ace Bailey causing him to fracture his skull and ending his career.

Gene Tunney's son John served one term as a US Senator from California.

First SK to die? Probably Rockne in 1931 (before set was issued). Last to die? Probably Doolittle in 1993.

Board's kinda quiet. Is there a game on TV or something?
