It has a limited participation, an even more limited spectator following. So it was but natural that a glittering hockey star, Rocket Rich- ard of Montreal Canacliens, whose feat in breaking • the ancient lifetime goals record, 324, compiled by Nels Stewart, should have been voted Canada's athlete of the year. Richard is the Babe Ruth of hockey, a dynamic showman, a magnetic figure. But it seems as though the selectors, perhaps soured by Canada's famine of honors at the Olympic Games, overlooked one of the most brilliant achievements of 1952 by a Canadian youth. We mean the performance of 17-- year-old 7-year-old George Genereux of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the high school boy who won 10 of Canada's total of 30 points, and its only Gold Medal, symbol of Olympic supremacy, when he defeated the greatest trap -shooters in the world. That one so young should win such honors is unusual. That he should lack the acclaim such a performance merits, is unfortunate George Genereux's record in his favorite sport is little short of fabulous. He was only 13 years old when he first started to shoot at the Saskatoon Gun Club. His ability was quickly spotted by Jimmie Girgulis, veteran trapshooting star. Girgulis was introducing his sons to the clay -target busting business one afternoon, by letting them shoot at birds with a .410 shotgun, when George ,joined in. This proved to be air important meeting, for, from that time out totithamentWise Girgulis kept George under his wing and has been his eoa,cla and mentor ever since. The first major victory in competitive shooting for George was in 1949, when at the tender age of 14 he shot his way to the Manitoba -Saskatchewan Handicap Championship. Two years later at the American Trapshooting Association com- petitions at Vandalia, Ohio, he won three North America championships ---the Junior, the Junior All -Around and the Junior High Over All. Last year at the contests sponsored by the A.T.A. he was runner-up in the Junior Preliminary Handicap Championship, and won the Junior Champion Of Champions of North America title. '10 this he added the Saskatchewan Championship .(Singles). Then before going to the Olympics he stoped at Oslo, Norway,• where he placed second in the World Champ -4 ionships. George G}enet-eux is just a normal boy. In a game that requires chilled -steel ilbrves, there is no ice -water in Isis veins: At school, he is a stair In hockey and baseball.
