He learned in later years that in one grid battle with arch rival Holy Cross, a member of the Crusader team was Rosy Ryan, the veteran baseball patriarch currently general manager of the Phoenix Giants. 1 Lavik got his degree in physical education and wandered West, where he taught and coached In Colorado. In 1927 he accepted a job as coach of all sports and athletic director at Northern Arizona Teachers College In Flagstaff (now NAU).

He coached all varsity sports at ASU in addition "to carrying a full teaching load" as head of the PE department Rudy ceased being an active varsity coach at ASU after the 1948 basketball son. He went on full retirement a decade ego. Remarkable Rudy, a true renaissance, and In newspaper vernacular "good copy," never misses his daily running routine on the ASU baseball diamond. Until Ave years ago (1955-1967) he pitched batting practice to the Sun Devil team "although my speed diminished considerably Ilncel911" Lavik can deliver sound advice, but he also can accept It.

His wife told him recently that there was a Sun City resident, age 90, who also ran two plus miles per day and credited nil long life to eating ten prunes every morning. "See Rudy," she said, "if you ate ten prunes per day, you could be 90 also." Lavik's sense of humor is second to none, but he can be serious too. as some recent Lavikisms show: WEIGHTLIFTING: "I do enough to see just how weak I really am." COACHING: "Tell your players to take one play at a time, but play it like it was the last in their careers." COACHES: "A coach is re-legated to the bench the entire game without the chance to release his physical and mental tension. As a result be becomes a toxic Individual and a menace to society." ECOLOGY: "There are people who complain today about the pollution caused by the automobile. What do they think the horse and buggy era created?" (Rudy indicated something less than orange blossoms.) UVING FORMULA: "The 'key is activity.

There are three Important phases of life physiological, Intellectual and spiritual, that's the es-, sence of life; they are all one." THE ESTABLISHMENT: "I cant condone someone who will milk It (our society) and cuss it at the same time. Our so-called establishment is a development centuries old, designed by parents who wanted to provide a better life for their children and their children's children." So that's Rudy, as refreshing as a shave and a shower. His friends and former students, and men he coached, will honor him tonight (I p.m.) at a special dinner In the Arizona Club, atop the new First NatlonalBank Building. Guess who will be the principal speaker?

TEMPE The 80-year-old man had just finished posing for a newspaper photographer and exclaimed: "Come back in 10 years with a wide angle lens and shoot a horizontal picture of me." When and IMhe Indestructible R.H. (Rudy) Lavik is calkd up yonder, Saint Peter bad better be fitted bra pair of track shoes. It's just like old Rudy to get the guardian of the Pearly Galea into a "Run for Your Life" program. It's difficult to believe that Lavik, the man with a profile similar to the Indian on a Buffalo coin, la celebrating nil 80th birthday today.

Rudy, as thousands of Art-zonans know, is an avid believer In physical health. He credits proper exercise with his longevity: and would you believe he still runs two and one-quarter miles per day? The Arizona State University coach and teacher for more than 40 years of his life maintains that "activity lowers the chol-oesterol In the blood." And be long ago adopted a slogan: MCbolesterol doesn't grow In a busy artery." Lavik related that tome of the healthiest people he knew "worked like horses and ate like hogs." The professor emeritus at ASU, who came to Tempe In 193) and still Uvea here, contends that persona with mora than healthy appetites can live to a ripe, eld age with proper exercise. "The heart will do Its job if you get the Mood to It." Rudy is no advocate of the so-called health food craze. "Ail food Is good If It Isn't spoiled." he said. Lavik himself subscribes to no special diet.

He graduated from Concordia College In Minnesota with a major In English and a minor In history. Then he took his athletic talents to Springfield College.

But his pursuit of knowledge In physical and health education was Interrupted by World War I. Ho was a member of the American Expeditionary Forces and served with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. But Rudy called It "a pick and shovel outfit" that was under shell-fire by the German army on numerous occasions. But knowing Rudy, no shell would dare destroy his mission in life.

The athletes presented a plaque with a message of thanks "to the founder of the 'Truth, and Soul' track "We try to free the soul and body," explains Kermltt Bayless, a senior who hopes to make the U.S.

The people got me this he said at his testimonial. About 15 per cent of the students at Cal State are blaclu Roughly half of the athletes on the track team are black.
