Former football all-stars
It was the summer of 1974 when a football game called the Santa Clara County All-Star Bowl debuted on the turf at San Jose State's Spartan Stadium.
It was only the beginning.
Since that time, it has grown to become a summer classic for high school football all-stars, and the event, now known as the Charlie Wedemeyer All-Star Football Game, returns this summer for its 25th anniversary game.
To celebrate the event, game organizers--the Almaden Valley Rotary Club--invite all former all-star players and coaches to attend this year's game, set for Friday, July 23, at Spartan Stadium.
For more information on the anniversary game, and for former players and coaches to reserve their place at the event, write to All-Star Events, P.O. Box 20933, San Jose (95160), or send a fax to 268-2960.

It's spring, and runners will have a couple of choices this weekend if they want to get off and running in events scheduled in the area.
The Dream Run/sleep Walk, a 5K, will be held on April 17, 10 a.m., at West Valley Community College in Saratoga. The cost is $15. For more information, call 741-4041.
The Challenge For Charity, a 5K and 10K event, will be held on April 18, 8:30 a.m., at Stanford in Palo Alto. The cost is $15 before April 10, or $20 after that. Proceeds benefit Special Olympics. For more information, call 1-650-947-0979.
