A REAL BIG.
Although we had to part with $25.00 to get
to the Sportsmen's banquet in London recently,
we figured we had our investment reclaimed and
event had hopes of increasing it several times as
we spotted Jack .Alelenbacher,. the former NHL
referee who now devotes his time to training race
horses.
After our unfortunate experiences at the
Western Raceway last season, we certainly thought
this would be an excellent chance to get the "in'
side" story on horses and get Jack's words of
wisdom on how to pick a winner.
So, after "browning around" for a while,
dusting his coat and lighting his cigar, we boldly
stepped up and asked for a few tips on how to
judge horses in a race to pick out the winner.
You can imagine how let down we were
when we received the curt reply: "You can't."
"It's a funny thing about horses," he added.
"you can't really tell until the race starts how
they are going to run."
Although we never had the opportunity of
describing any horse race we have seen as funny,
and with our luck, usually know how , they are
going to run, we asked him to explain further,
He pointed out that some horses look ex-
tremely fast when they are working out previous to
the race, while others actually look like they have
gone lame and won't stand a chance. (Ours ARE
lame and DON'T stand a chancel) However, he
said horses have personalities of their own and
when they get in the heat of competition, shake
off their lameness similar to athletes who play
with injuries.
He said it was an impossibility to sit in the
stands and watch the horses warm up and then go
and pick a winner by merely judging how they act-
ed before the race.
He further added that a person had to
judge all the horses in the race and look at their
past performances, the horses they were running
against and their drivers. "And then you still can't
always pick out a winner," he said,
SELDOM BETS HIMSELF
.Jack confessed he bet the horses himself,
but not very frequently, He stated there were
races when a horse was actually much better than
its competitors and if he spotted this, he usually
bet. "But I don't bother just putting $5.00 or $10.00
on it." he said.
He said he never bet against the horse he
was driving and seldom on his own horse, because
he has been fooled many times by judging how
his horse will run after coming in from his work-
out.
Because we have a friend who has shown
some interest in getting into the race horse busi-
ness, we asked Jack how much it would cost to
"operate" a horse for one year.
He said it could go as high as $2,000.00 to
have a trainer look after your horse and take him
to various tracks for races. This figure included
stable and feed, but not such things as entry fees
and equipment.
However, he said a horse should return
enough to keep the costs much lower than this
"and you can have a heck of a lot of fun." (After
hearing this word "fun" again and thinking of our
past experiences, we figured we had better change
the subject.)
NO LOVE LOST FOR NHL
Jack, who quit refereeing after about five
years in the "big time" had very few words of
praise for the NHL. He quit because he claimed
Clarence Campbell wouldn't back up his referees
and he shows certain distaste for Campbell. Conn
Smythe and Jack Adams.
However, he admitted it perhaps wasn't too
much. Campbell's fault for the way he ran the
NHL, because he was merely a spokesman for the
six owners who control the national sport.
"Their main aim is to make money," he
said, "and they run hockey in the way they feel
is best for their own purposes."
We asked. Jack about the "rash" of penalty
shots that were being called and he pointed out
the rule has always been in the book, but the
refs were told to call it more this year primarily
as a publicity stunt to attract fans to the arenas.
However, he stated that in a crucial game
where a playoff spot may be at stake, the same
infractions may be very noticeable, but no referee
would call it if it meant the difference of one team
gaining the playoff.
He'd be out looking for some new work next
year if he did," Jack said.
Jack recalled one time when he first started
refereeing and submitted his expense account for
$263.00, However, when he received his cheque
from Campbell it was only made out for $257,00,
and fearing this might become a consistent pro-
cedure, went to find out why he had been docked,
"You shouldn't worry about money, Jack,"
Campbel told him. "It's prestige you're after."
"I have a wife and four kids," Melanbacher
replied, "and I'll be damned if they can eat pres-
tige,"
He ended up getting his six dollars and
never had any more troubles.
BATT'N AROUND-Bart Starr, the hand-
some young quarterback of the world champion
Green. Bay Packers, pointed out that things weren't
always "peaches and cream" for his club and they
had many miserable seasons before this year. He
recalled once when they had a long losing streak
going he was warming up on the sidelines and
threw about ten straight passes over the head of
the receiver warming up with him. This prompted
some wag in the stands to yell, "Send him in
coach, he looks ready" On another occasion
his team was losing 40-0 and late in the game
he came back in the huddle and suggested a run

out of it because he had been badly shaken up all
