I can't comment on the relationship with Olympus Lansaw, but I can comment on Paul Lansaw who was a star basketball player at Middletown OH.

I run a website on the history of the University of Kentucky Men's basketball program. I maintain web pages on all UK players. Here is a link to Lansaw's.

http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/Statistics/Players/Lansaw_P...

It includes his career statistics along with photographs etc.

I have some additional information, such as he was a transfer to Kentucky from Cornell (I've seen reference to him setting a scoring record in the Cleveland Municipal Auditorium while he with Cornell.)

Also, he is listed in the 1951 Kentuckian yearbook as "Paul Liberto Lansaw". I had him listed as a junior during the 1950-51 basketball season, but he was listed as a senior academically. I assume that due to the transfer, he sat out of year and thus took his classes and actually graduated with one year of basketball eligibility remaining. (which apparently was not used since he only played the one year at UK.) Lansaw was one of a few players from Middletown who ended up at UK.

PS, if anyone has access to an obituary (assuming he died in 1999 which the ss database suggests), I would like to get one.
