Page "Johnny Weissmuller" Paragraph 16

According to David Wallechinsky's Complete Book of the Olympics, while playing in a celebrity golf tournament in Cuba in 1958, Weissmuller's golf cart was suddenly captured by rebel soldiers.

Weissmuller sized up the situation, got out of the cart and gave his trademark Tarzan yell.

The shocked rebels soon began to jump up and down, calling " Tarzan!

Welcome to Cuba!

" Johnny and his companions were not only not kidnapped, but were given a rebel escort to the golf course.
