Doug Hoo
Douglas Hoo, goes by Doug, is a high school senior. Doug is known as being the first in all state mile-run - runner. Doug is 18, and the only son of James Shin Hoo and Madame Hoo. His Dad describes him as obedient, lazy, and a dumb jockey. In Mr. Westing's Game, Doug was paired up with high school senior, Theo Teodorakis. Their 5 clues were; His N On To Thee For. Theo thinks the clues means an explosive; H(IS) FOR NO THEE (TO)= NH ^4 NO ^3, with four clues left out; I S T O, Otis. Theo found a formula for an explosive and the name of the murder. Doug didn't really care much of the game because he was more focused for a upcoming race. The reason he knew Sam Westing was because he stole his dad's invention idea of the disposable dippers but, on his way to court he got into a car accident. His only job to help Theo, was to follow Otis because that is their target. They need evidence that he is the murder. After, 2 hours of following Otis, Doug got cold and hungry. On the day of Doug's race, he always ate 6 eggs before a meet. Eventually, he won the mile run, and got another gold medal. Everybody returned to the Westing House once again to check if their answer from their clues were right. Theo and Doug's answer was "nothing" because who they wanted to accuse, Otis, he was innocent, Theo and Doug had followed him. The first time Doug's position in the Westing Game was first in all-state high school mile run and the second time his position was, champ.
