Seuulc Rainier b11-scball gum"" were u pan of the listening venue.

Doug was drawn to 1hc spor15CDIDng voice of Leo Lassen. "I grew up on u:o Lussen," McArthur 1old me during 1m Interview.

"Boys :u-c interested in SpollS whcdtcr they piny Of nOI. That is how l b<cnme intcn:stcd In spans - totally dc111C1Jcd from any op­ ponunlty to pllly." He lllso bccrunc intcrestcd in sports sllllisllcs 01 an t<1rly agc,somcdting lhnl proved vllluablc as he ft�t lumcd 10 broadcasting nnd 1ltcn Inter bccnme • spons historian.

"For n 101 of us in dint crn it was D childhood fanwy 10 be • spons broadcuster," Doug continued,"unless you had greru ath­ lc1lc ability." His family re111mcd toTacoma in lime for McAr­ thur 10 nttend S1ewru1 Junior High and become a 1946 graduate of Lincoln. He loved 10 play baseball. bul que,;tioned his own nlltletic nbilily. He. considelt?d himself on "over-nchievcr. but not n great plnycr." decided on a cureer in ph11m111cy, and enrolled m Wll.$hington Slllte Clniv,:rslty. In one week he decided to change to n communications mnjor and tba1 led to Doug's long car,,cr in !iJ)(JTISCllSting. ru.lministration, and promotion.

Uke Cloy Hunti.ng1on hctore him,McAnhur went tn the C:nllege of Puget Sound nnd become nnollter one of Murray Morgan's smdenis. Acmnlly, Doug hruJ the bl!ncfil of bol'.h Murrny·s nnd Rosa. his wife·s. ln.,tructions. McAnhur would lllpc nn nttemp1 ru spor1.o;cn.�1ing, nnd Murray would have bis wife lisum to it 1md provide• critique because she knew little about spans. From lhese cxcrc:iscs. McAnhur lcnmed the imporlllnce of clarity on the o.lr. "Ir you get 100 close to o Sport," he explained. "you forget what people may or may not know;· You must be nblc 10 "paint lite word picture," Thtn came the Kon:un Wnr,and time spent In 1hc mililllry. Doug �---------� McAnhur grndDlllcd from the Anncd Forces lnformmion School In New Yorldn 1954, returned toTacoma nnd. in 1956,become spons din.-c1or nt lCTAC rudio.Tim's when sportscasting, public relnllons. ndmini5trntion. nnd promo­ tion became lite essence of his Cnieer. He wn., Superintendent or Public Recreation and Supervisor or Alltletics for the Tacoma Pu!blic Schools and the Mell'Opolltan Parl: District in lhc =ly I960s. Between 1966 and 1978 he WllS Director of Athletics at lhe University or Puget -.::=-.:......______..;:..fl __. an cndenvOf lltnt led to his

induction into the Logger Athletic Hall of Fame.

When asked about his proudest spons moments. McAnhur wns quick 10 mention 1wo. As c=. h or lite 1956 Stnnlcy's Shoeman he wus blessed with u ICltm ofTu,:omum who won ihcir llllit 13 games in a row 10 eluim stnte, regionul nnd national nmn1eur baseball championships. "It was the first time a West Const I.earn hod ever won al thnt level." he disclo:;ed, "and I wus so proud Tncomo could be represented 1h01 wny.The headlines in Boule C'm:k. Michigan said Tncomn ls King!''

He also fondly rcmembcrs the national baskc1b:l1J duunpion• snip won by lite UPS Loggers while ho was Dl=tor of Athletics there. "We won the Division II NCAA title in Evnnsvillc, lndiono, nnd no other Nonhwe,� team bod ever done ihat. We lllso bent live Division I teams along lite way, I wns so proud of 1hnt progrnm."

A:5 time went by Doug McArdtur fol'.IJICd his own company. one lhnt combined his love of spotU wilh brondcasling. public relntions nnd pro011>­ cion. l:lc bcgnn by pon:hns­ ing dte broadcasting rights forTocomo profcssionnl. coUege, and high school sporu, along wilh those for the PonlnndTimbcrs soccer gnmes. Among the recruited announcen used in lhe broadcasts wore An Popham and Bob Robenson. -._..._....._ But lhorc wus more to his comp,my's ponfolio. Doug was one or Ille founders and Iha 13-yw 1ournl\ll1Clll din:citor of the LPGA Safeco Oolf Classic, anti he was nlso n force behind theTacoma Dome.

Pmponcnl> of the Dome projec1 approached McAnhur following lite past titllurc of voters to fund the facility. There was need for a fuiJ.tJmc promoter. The community wus divided, he cold me. primarily ov,:r Its loca1fon. McAnhur r,,moved this i•suc from lhc discussion by focusing simply on ihc need for n multipurpose facnlty-pcriod. "We told lhc voters lltat we'd pul wheels on ii and move it nround the city if nccessnry," he laughed. Viewin.g lhc proposal wilhin this contell'I proved 10 be n woy 10 unite the community resulting in a 70% llflinnnlive vo1c afll!r years of rejection. "I firmly belle,•• that If yo11 1ell 1hc whole >1ory ,rnd tcll ii truthfully," he told me. "that we have• supportive community.

I found that clearly wilh the Dome campllign."

When asked. "Whnt is so imponnnt about spons?" McArthuc replied, "I ha•e never been a star in uny spon. but I have plnyed a 101 of spons and I think It is the feeling of achieving 1hings ID�'Clhcr. There is a magic 10 spons. Spotts bring OUI lhe linle kid in us." Sports is n joy. in other wordll. "I've hnd an opponunity to do everything in my Ufo tba1 hn!! been enjoyable (or me." Hwd work, yes. But never dull.
