An Olympic decathlete and accomplished golfer , Plansky was famous for playing his ball during New England amateur championship matches straight along the edge of the fairway shade , chipping up on the green , and holing out before the sun could get to him . A noble and loyal man in every way , he met his wife Betty and commuted 140 miles to see her for ten years until the younger children in her family , whom she cared for after her mother died , had grown and left the family nest . Betty found his Olympic medal in his sock drawer after his death . P . S . My first view of Plansky when I arrived at Williams as a freshman : waiting for a P . E . class to show up on the basketball court , he was drop kicking basketballs from center court , making about 90 % - honest truth ! ! Long - time Columbia football coach Lou Little once declared Plansky America ' s best all - around athlete , with Jim Thorpe # 2 !
