Title supplied by cataloger. Photographer's caption reads, "Dan Reinstein was wary. A few years earlier, he'd fired his pistol to start the milers and a jittery neighbor called the cops to report gunfire at Hollywood High. The LAPD tactical squad showed up in full gear. Track is pretty much Dan's life. It was his fourth track meet of the week: Canoga Park versus Hollywood High. He's spent 45 years as a sanctioned USA Track and Field official. He's winner of the coveted annual Andy and Mary Bakjian Award for outstanding service officiating running sports. And when Fox Television needed someone to officiate "Man versus Beast" they turned to Dan. The reality TV show pitted 42 harnessed midgets against an elephant. The quest was to pull 430,000-pound McDonnell Douglas DC-10s down a runway in the California desert. The final results? Hollywood High 108, Canoga Park 8; Elephant 1, Midgets 0."
