GANADA'S MELBOURNE OLYMPIC TEAM
STRONGER THAN HELSINKI SQUAD
Canada's 1956 Olympic team.
made up of 16 girls and 79 men. is
smäller butstronger than the team
wfaibh' represented us at Helsinki
four years ago, and hopes to lift
Canada from its lowly 24th spot
among the nations in the unoffidal
standings. A gold medal in rowing
and points in women's gymnastics
couId4um the trick.
; At Helsinki our team scored only
30 points — 10 by goid medalist
George Qenereux.l7-year-old trap
shooter.
This year Canada*s Olympic team
has been out by 35 members, but
the quality is higher.
Hereare the members of the team
which will travel to Melbourne:

AU spoPts loving peöple are beihg gripped with Olympic
fever and iindoubtedlymany have gone over their saVings
worldly assets to sTO i i a quitik trip down uiKjer wQuld
! possible to takein the Olympic Games w!hich will open in
lelbonrne during this month.
For many mönths preparations for tihe Olympics Ihas been
one of the central questions and even the \world series and
lie current football season have been unable to brush it aside
jm sport pages.
The «eriträl question w!hich has again "been raised is the
luestionof Olympic superiority — will the United States or
leSoviet Union emerge on t»p in theunofficial points count?,
lis question has created a great deal of debate among
Isports fans and it seems that opinions are divided and only
Ithe games thertiselveswiU decide' the f inal outcome. ?oth
(coufttries fhave niimeroiis spfceres of Olympic^^^^s^
Ithey commahd aiead^ but it is interesting to note that in very
|£ew sports wip these iwo leading contenders be matched
lagainst each other, Generally U.S. and Soviet athletes will
Ihave to competeagainst the athletes of other nations for;
1 their points.
The unofficial points race is of course not the mqst imr
Iportant aspect of the Olympics and it is in fact something
I outside of the cqmpetitiotts and has nothing to do with the
1 Olympics. Howiver the tabulation of points has become
^ such a comimon practise that it will undoubtedly continue
despite the objections of Jflie Olympic committee.
In past decades there w^
tabulation of team points because the athletic supremacy of
the United States iwäs neverthreateneduntil the Soviet
Union stepped into the pitture; four years ago at the Helsinki
Games. There is still a oontroversy raging as to which team
got the greatest number of poiri^s.
As there is no of f icial way of tabulating the points, two
different systiems wer€ tised in Helsinki with one system giv-i
»g the Americans the leäd and the other g i v i i ^ the Soviet
athletes the edge.
Despite edl the interest created by the tabulation of points
it must be emphasized that the Olympic competitions are
intended as comi)etitions between individual athletes. And
of course amateur atWetes cairy on their corhpetition in a
friendly and sportsmahlike manner disregarding the nation-ality
of their olosest competitors.
EveryonewiUrö:all that dfespite the c61dw^ had
gripped the world at «the time, the athletes of ali countries
got along very well together at the Helsinki Olympics. Such
will undoubtedly be the case in, Melbourne a few weeks
from now.
Melbourne will be an uhustial experience also from an-other
standpoint vhich may have its effects on the results
attained. It is the first time in Olympic history that the
Games have been held in a country where the seasorts are
reversed. Most leading athletes are used to other climates
and with a busy sports «easoribehind them there is some
danger of them being «over trainöd". Many have gone \A
Australia weeks in advancötö toecome acustomed to tht
change in climat6.
But the change in climate will probably affect the results
of athletes cohiiiig from the more northerly coimtries wherc
training conditions have been hampered by colder vreather.
However, on the other hand athletes from* the tropical coun-
Wes have been hamperedbythä säme conditions ^henthey
have had to compöte in a cofnpletely different climatic en-vironment
from that virhich they are accustomed to.
It has been our intentiot to make our own Olympic pre-dictions
but as the time draws nearer and nearer we are be-conring
more and more reluctant to stick our neck out. How-fver,
we would be glad to^publishpredictions if someone else
»s völling to i^tick out their neck. We recall that one of our
'eaders made a predlction regaidkjg the Helsinki Olympics'

Marathoner
Gerard Cote
Win Refire
Canada's Top
Figure Skaters
Man to Retire
Canada's top skating couple and
former World pair-skating cham-piöns;
Frances DaJfoe and Norris
Bowden, have. announced they are
forsaking world rinks* for business
careers.
Their retirement from competi •
tion means Canada has lost one of
its bestbets for World and Olympic
skating honours. From 1952 to 1956
the couple was practically unbeat-able
winning six Canadian, one
North American and two World
championships.
They were second in pairs skat­ing
at the last Winter Olympics and
second in the World championships
which followed.
' Gerard Cote, the famed- cigar-;
smoking marathoner from S t Hyr
, acynthe, Que., who established
himself in top international c^o^pe-tition,
has decided to hang, up his
rui^nin^ shoes aftec.25,years of rac;
ing.
The 43^year-old father pf .four
.ran his last race Sunday—^he 12-
mile St. Hyacinthe Marathon which
he organized. He /inished l l t h in
the race won by Gordon Dickson:of
Claresholm, Alta., in one ^ hour.
'three minutes and 46 seconds. His
time was 1:15,38.
Cote, the oniy man to win the
,famed 26-miIe Boston Marathon
-four, times and Victor in the .'-Yonr
kers.Marathon three times;quit to
devote more time to his job as pub-licity
manager for a St; Hyacinthe
French. - language bi-weekly; He
said he never m^de money in run-ning
and decided i t w a s about time
to begin makingsome.-^
After Sunday's race, Mayor Er­nest
Picard thanked the marathoner
at a Civic ceremony for placing St.
Hyacinthe on the international
sports map. A citizen's committee
' 8howed the city's appreciation by
presenting Cote with gifts.-
Quitting activecompetition does-n^
t mean quitting runningiör Cote.
He plans to continue runnfng for his
health.
His last 26-mile marathon was in
the British «Empire Games in: Van'
couver in 1954. That was the only
race in his career he^failed to finish.
Stomach trouble forced him to step
out. The last major marathon he
finished was the Boston event three
years ago in which he was ITtlL
tendcd the 96th Olympaid drcssed
In men's clothes, to see her son com-p
^ in boxing. She gave herself
away by showering kisses on him
when he won the fInal. ^ However;
there was a happy ending as the
fuU penalty was not enforced.
5 But girls have never been kcpt
outside the Games for long. Eveh
in those far off days they won the
right to feminine Olympics. They
were held after the men'scontests
;and were confined to one event, a
race of roughly 125 yards. Compcti-
. tors were. divided into three age:
groups (I wonder how many. told
the^exact truth) and ran in short
tunics reaching to the knces, and
with hair unbound.
When the first Modern Olympics
were held in Athens(1896) there
were no events f or women. By the
II Games (Paris 1900) Lawn Tennis
for women was on the prograrame,
and^ Miss C. Cooper of Britain be-came
the first girl to win an Olym-
, pic medal. Progress was by no
means rapid; Archery was added
intl904, Swiming in 1912, Fencing in
1924 and then in 1928 at Amstcr-dapi,
Gymnastics and the queen of
0)lympic sports — Athletics.
WORLD'S FASTEST?
;Let's turn to the f uture and Mel­bourne.
It's unfortunate Xin my
opinion) that even now in athletics
thetrack events for girls are-restric-ted
to 100 m, 200 m; 80. m hurdles
and the 4x100 mv^relay. This means
we are denied seeing äuchdutstand-ing
runners as Nina Otkalenko, US
SR or Diane Leather, Britain, whose
bestdistances are muphlonger than
the sprints.
>ln Helsinki, the Australians won
the 100 m, 200 m, and 80 m hurdles.
I don'l expect a rcpeat pcrformance
but I do.think they will take the 100
m.^ On the 'bodk 'there is • little to

DOUOLE FOR GERMANY
It^s a happy thought that in the
real 'olympic spirit, we shall see not
two, :but one unitcd Gerraan team
in Melbourne. It will be ali the
happier if: my forecast comes off;
one<girJi -Winner rfrom the German
-peii^ocratic • Republic and V another
'from f Federal Germany. The first
is Christa Stubnick to win the 200
Her amazingstamina over the
last £0 yards should take her to viC'
tory. The other choioe is € . Gasti to
wjn the 80'm hurdles and make it
a glorious double for a l i Germany.
SOVIET STBING A ND
DBITAIN'S FIBST
Now we comc to a string of events
ali of whlch should go to the Soviet
lassics; the 4x100 ro. rclay, discus,
N. Ponomarycya,' broad jump to Ga
Iina Vanogradöva and the shot put
to the fabulous Galina Zybina, who
has set 12 worId records in;;three
years. ^Czechoslovakia should come
into the picture ,with Dana Zatop-kova
repcatingher 1952 javelin wln,
and for the Uni time we might find
a Lätin American name featuring;
Chilean, Marlene.Ahreno could
make enough progress; to take; a
bronze medal in the javelin.
Strange a s i t may sccm British
girl athletes have never won an
Olympic medal in track; Their main
"possible" at Melbourne, Thelma
Hopkins, therefore; carrles lots of
hopcs and good wishesr Earlier this
year, she set a new world high Jump
record of 5 f t 8^' only to lose it
within 'weeks to Miss I. Balas of
Rumanla whö clearcd 5 ft. 8%. The
Bumnnian has beaten Thelma three
times but this time I fcel^ the Nor­thern
r Ircland girl • will tum the
tabics.
FRASER TO FREEZE OUT FROST
Swimming sets the biggest poser
of ali events. There Js only one
race on which I would lay the ^dds,
and thafs the 4x100 m.ifrce style
relay. ; It secmc an s absolute cer-tainty
for the Australians. They
can put, into: the vwatcr; three of 'the
wor]d*sbcst; toraine Crapp, Dawn
Fraser and Falth Lecch. Who thp
fourth member of; the ieam, will be'
hardly seems important. These
three could build;up a leacTSd'litg^
that l ' d even fancy my own chances
of hanging on to i t
In other events: ICO m free style,
100 m back stroke,*200 breaststroke
Australia, Holland, Hungary, and
Gr^at Britain have a galaxy of worId
rocord holdcrs and near record; hol-dcrs

In the 400 m.free style Tve

of going for this event; I fear Miss
Frost will be frozen out The other

CORPORATIONS MERACE
WORXER
OG OJSNESS SMALL, BUätfC^
By BOB WARD
We see by, the . papcrs where a;
well-fed executive type speaking to
a meeting' of equally well-fed exe-cutives
asserted that "under capital-ism
.-anyone wh6 has a dollar in the
bankor,owns a life Insurance policy
is a capitalist"
This startling piece of advicc
prompted us to look at our bank
book. The book backed up our
recollectioii on thelstatistical side of
life^' We had $1.03 on deposit.
We ythen checked our Insurance
polfcy with the Ever Loving True
Blue Y o u Donit Want To Be Burled
in anOrange Crate Do You Life,
Death and Infidelity Corporation.
Our policy for $100 at death; or at
thelage of 99, was paid up to datc.
"Cadzooks," we thought to our-selvesi"
we must' be a cppitalist"
Wefstrode over to the mirror. The
same ugly Old face leered back.at
us whlch used to Icer uglily back at
us when we were a merc membcr
cf ^he vorking class.
We:Iooked again at the mirror.
We. noticed the same blood-shot
eye»; the same hairlcss hairline;
the same old hoics in the same
head; the same bare face hanging
out.
The-discovery that we werc really
a "capitalist"—; and not what softie
foosses had been caliing us for years
hit us 'with a similar impact to
being kicked' in the seat' with a
frozen boot:
"Had our wholc life been wasted
up tUI this time?"
"Were;wc a ,Ward of a different
colqr.than>the one with which folk
had: long associaied us? Were we
really in the green?
" W a 8 'our way of life', which
bosses^and pollticianstalk so much
about^ really our way of life?"
Tbeise and other questions of like
nature raced thfough our. noggin
as rapidly-as a cash jregister in a
chain' store lets us know we're
\)ro'\feior another week.
The newfotmd discovery that we
werc„ a "capitalisi" posed many
problems. For one tbing we had
no jtnone^;weonl^ Jiad 1^1.03 on de­posit;
and wc suddenlyrccalled that
we had written a chcque for over
$2,^ on. that whopping Insurance
policy of ours. ,
' But do little things like. this
bother a "capitalist?" Of course
not,
We decided wc'd'go to our bank
and borrow some money. Coz, might
we .say, it's mighty^. hard becoming
a "capitalist" when one is qut' of
capital. Indeed, indced, trying to
posc as a "capitalist" .without capi­tal
is aboutas hard as being a time-study
man without that old "Icvel-ling
factor."
When we •• strode into the bank
to see our manager wewere greet-cd
about as enthusiastically as a
bank robber. Our. interviewer, the
junior assistant to the Junior as-sistant
clerk, asked us what our
business was.
It was obvious from the look that
he gave: us that he 1 ittle knew that
we were a "capitalist".
We gave him a look mindful of
a boss about to say "no" to a wage
dcmand. "We are hcre to borrow
some capital," wc ;statcd.
"Vou — borrbw!" he gasped,
Hc pecred closely at us and we
bccame conscious of our frayed
cuffs and runKlown hecls. " r i l see
if the manager is'in," he hlssed.
Jn a few moments^he was back.
""Tfie manager will see you," he said
and walkcd äway sIowly shaking his
head as jCbanking as an institution
had suddenly ended.
• * *
Our experience with the manager
,18 a long storyl However, we wiH
make il as short as most of us are
the day after payday,
Ile enquired as to our finances.
Weas8ured him that M'ewere about
the brokest'"capitalist",he'd ever
interviewed... Indeedi vfe assured
him, that was the reason we were
there,
"But," he asked, "what have you
in the way of-collateral?"
Thinking that he wanted to be
assured that we really needed the
money, re pulled out'ali jstops in
explaining the sad pligbt.of at least
one "capitalist"-
