In the era of "The French Connection" and "The Taking of Pelham 123" I remember seeing tennis great Stan Smith (1972/1973?) moving with the crowd back to the IRT stop at 215th street after the Princeton game. I was impressed, but as a Frosh, or even a Soph, still didn't know much better. Of course, celebrities take the subway! He seemed a genial presence, definitely a head above the crowd, wispy blonde hair, droopy mustache. He must have been accompanying his future wife, Princeton women's tennis captain, Marjory Gengler.

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about Ivy sports history. She sounds very accomplished.

And "The Taking of Pelham 123" was an excellent and very underrated film.

That such a devoted follower of Princeton athletics has not heard of Ms. Gengler.

But I’m sure An Observer knows about her one way or another.

He seems to know all the women.

I was in one class with her. Beautiful and smart. Clearly out of my league!

Her two younger sisters also played at PU and were equally talented and accomplished, not to mention fetching. Louise was a 3-sport athlete, winner of the von Kienbusch Award as the school's top senior woman athlete, and varsity tennis coach for 25 (?) years. Nancy was individual collegiate squash champion as a sophomore (having learned the game when she started college) and is in College Squash Association Hall of Fame.

I'll be **shocked** if AO does not know of the Gengler sisters.

:)
