      I’m a bit bummed about this.

      I saw him around town from time to time. He came to a lot of PSU matches with his wife. He was well-liked and respected.

      In the early 80s my brother and I got to be ballboys for PSU soccer while he was coach. As I recall, that was because a guy my dad knew at work was friends with Bahr. I think we were paid a dollar a game plus gum. I don’t recall why I only got to do it it a few times.

      Back then, he was best known for being the father of Matt and Chris Bahr. I don’t recall reading anything about the 1950 thing until 1994.

        It is very odd that 1950 was ignored in American culture until 1994. Americans don't usually underplay their sporting achievements.

          It's because we didn't care about soccer before 1994.

          The 1930 team made the semifinals, you hear nowt about that.
