PROFILE: M.G. “Glen” Teeple was born December 17, 1894 in western Kansas. He was involved in the greyhound industry for over 50 years.

HISTORY: Glen attended his first National Coursing meet at Army City, Kansas in 1918, after moving to Manhattan. He joined his father-in-law, Charles F. Horne, in forming the Manhattan Kennels, a stud kennel consisting of MEADOWS,IMP., GOLDEN HAWKE, IMP., and FLINT ROCK, IMP. This partnership continued until Horne’s death in 1934. Glen continued with Manhattan Kennels except for a brief period during World War II. He retired early from his government postal position in 1956, so he could move to Abilene and devote himself full-time to greyhounds. He won the Sapling Stake with DUKE HAVOC in 1961, and the following year made the Spring Sapling Semi-Finals with ANDY GOON, and won the Fall Futurity with the litter mate PETER GOON. SOL’S SOLO, his pride and joy, won the Sapling, was runner up in the Futurity, and went on to win the Derby Cup, the Derby Purse and the Waterloo Purse. In later years, he concentrated on establishing a stud kennel. At the time of his death his stud kennel included; SOLOMON SOL, WESTY WHIZZER, WESTY MAJOR, WESTY COLONEL and BRANDY SODA, IMP.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Glen had more than outstanding greyhounds to his credit. He was a judge for several meets in the early 1950’s, was vice-president of the NCA for four years (1950-1953), and served on the executive committee for six years (1960-1966). It was during his tenure on the executive committee that tattooing was inaugurated. Glen advocated and promoted legislation for pari-mutuel betting and dog racing in Kansas.
