Byline: Nicholas Grudin Staff Writer

GLENDALE - Glendale Community College will add six inductees into their Athletic Hall of Fame today, including an NFL head coach and a three-time Olympic athlete.

``It's a tribute to the athletes who are being inducted and also to the college itself,'' said Director of Sports Information Alex Leon. ``It says a lot about the college as a whole, and for the future.''

During the campus' second annual induction ceremony, Andy Reid, coach of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles and a GCC football star in 1977, will be honored with the Pillar of Achievement Award.

The Outstanding Athlete Award will go to Frank Wykoff, who attended GCC in 1929, when he also broke the world record in the 100-yard dash. He competed in the 1928, 1932 and 1936 Olympic Games.

The other honorees will be Virginia Manker, GCC's first women's athletic director; Damon Bame, who played football at GCC in 1961 before leading the USC Trojans to a national championship in 1962; Ed Tucker, the track coach whose team won the state championship in 1959; and the 1977 women's cross-country team, who remain the only GCC women's cross-country team to win a state championship. The team counts as one inductee.

The induction ceremony and banquet will begin at 5 p.m. at the J.W. Smith Student Center at GCC. Tickets are $50 and will be available on a first-come basis. For more information call [phone].
