The Swiss author Louis Grivel from Lausanne was even better known under his pen name “Doug”. He wrote many lyrics for songs, theater plays and operettas, mostly collaborating with composers Roger Moret and Carlo Boller. From 1932, he worked for more than 30 years as archivist and historian for the city of Lausanne, and re-vamped the organizational structure of the archives. He also wrote about the history of the city, particularly the architectural history. In addition, he was the author of a number of novels including Le challenge Maxwell : Roman sportif, a sport novel published in 1927. None of his three Olympic entries, however, could be traced.
