Sportsman of the Year at TAC, Bob Sanders. Chuck Congdon was voted Sportsman-of-the-Year by the Tacoma Athletic Commission and was presented with a plaque at a stag banquet at the Top of the Ocean. The choice was made by a group of civic leaders whose identity was not disclosed until after their choice was named. Mr. Congdon, the professional at the Tacoma Golf and Country Club, was the third recipient of the award. Frank Harting won in 1947 and John Heinrick won in 1948. Chuck Congdon had won the Canadian Open in the fall of 1948 and had tied for first place in the 1948 Tacoma Open. (TNT, 2/4/1949, p.14)
