Another great moment in high school sports, starring future Beach Boy Dennis Wilson.

In Dennis's sophomore year his wrestling coach catches him smoking a cigarette...

The coach put Dennis in his car, drove him back to Hawthorne High, and made him run ten laps on the athletic field.

For the rest of the year the coach made him repeat those laps each day, saying, "If you're gonna smoke, you're gonna run!" Dennis refused to stop smoking, however, and went on to do well in a championship meet, quitting the team in triumph.

"The running paid off, I guess," Dennis said to a teammate later.

"But I'll never quit smoking."
