LOS ANGELES--Twenty-one Trojan luminaries will be inducted into the fourth class of USC's Athletic Hall of Fame at a gala black tie induction dinner this Saturday (May 22) evening at the Ritz-Carlton Huntington Hotel in Pasadena.
Alphabetically, the 1999 inductees are: Garrett Arbelbide, Jerry Buss, Bob Chandler, Cynthia Cooper, Anthony Davis, Homer Griffith, Jim Hardy, Jesse Hibbs, Gene Mako, Mark McGwire, Anthony Munoz, Russ Saunders, Harry Smith, Craig Stadler, Francis Tappaan, Harley Tinkham, Jack Ward, Vern Wolfe, Cynthia Woodhead-Kantzer, Frank Wykoff and Louis Zamperini.
Arbelbide, Chandler, Griffith, Hibbs, Saunders, Tappaan, Tinkham and Wykoff are deceased. All other inductees except Cooper (training camp), McGwire (baseball game), Stadler (golf tournament) and Wolfe (ill) will be in attendance.
Also attending will be many members of the first three classes of USC's Athletic Hall of Fame, including Marcus Allen, Jon Arnett, Rod Dedeaux, John Ferraro, Mal Florence, Mike Garrett, Frank Gifford, Marv Goux, Julie Kohl, Fred Lynn, Marlin McKeever, Ron Mix, John Naber, Nick Pappas, Roy Saari, Ambrose Schindler, Bob Seagren, and Ron Yary.
"This is another exceptional group of Trojan greats," said USC athletic director Mike Garrett, who was a member of the 1994 charter class. "All have played a key role in USC's outstanding athletic history. They'll join our first three classes of Hall of Famers to form a real Who's Who in USC sports. The first three induction dinners were memorable evenings and I'm sure the 1999 one will be just as special."
The Hall of Famers are selected by a 75-member voting panel consisting of media and USC alumni and athletic department supporters. To be eligible for election, athletes must have completed their last season of eligibility at USC 10 years ago.
