• The Olympic Games of 1956 are
already eying cause for worry through-
out the world democracies, raised by
the threat of Russia's governmental mass
development and subsidization of ath-
letes. And we Orge this is the time, In
Canada as else here, for action,
The British Empire, the United States, among the free
countries of the world in which sport flourishes as a natural,
and not a forced growth, and all others in the same happy
category, should be deeply concerned. Surely the dernocra,
cies, Canada included, must send every Qualified athlete to
have a chance to match Russia,
We will never, of course, beat Russian propaganda in
the Pravda. There is no officiai team in the Olympic Games,
and Russia can score as she pleases. Last time she was kind
enough to give the United States a tie with computation
known only to Russia, a system widely at variance from that
unofficially and informally accepted in other nations, Next
time, the system will be improved to denote a Russian
triumph, unless the victory of the democracies is over-
whelming,
We, in Canada, need money to send athletes, but first
we need athletes to send. Time is short. Men not already
in training, will need to start an intelligent workout program
and campaign immediately to have any chance of being worth
anything in Olympic competition.
If we don't get a program going, we'll have few, it
any, athletes ready in 1956. And those Won't be prepared
to compete in November which is normally out of season
in our land.
This is something. the Amateur Athletic Union should
take up immediately; in a practical way, with practical men
at the-head of the organization, men not interested in petty
sports politics, but men interested in development of our
athletes through the medium of competition, This is the
only way — competition based on efficient modern scientific
training methods,
We have at least one great 1500 metre prospect. Rich
Ferguson, We have some fine boxers and wrestlers, excellent
swimmers, both boys and girls. Just what we have in Canada
we'll never know until a better degree of competition is
developed.
Our hockey supremacy is no longer a matter to be taken
for granted. There is ample material, but a high degree of
selectivity must be exercised here. For other events, track-
field, swimming, gymnastics and the like, we believe that a
series of Olympic preparatory tests and meets, with govern-
ment financing in part, could develop a few athletes worthy
to carry Canada's colours, and compete with the best.

AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO
phere was getting more electric
every moment. With only two
minutes 'to go the score was
even, and I began to feel I
might get out of the arena alive.
Then, in the last two min-
utes, a Nacional player com-
mitted a particularly dirty foul.
I could not overlook it.
While the crowd held its
breath I awarded Penarol—the
visiting side—a free kick just
outside the penalty area.
The kick was taken; the ball
hit a post, rebounded, and quick
as a flash it was slammed into
the net by a Penaro] forward.
Naturally I gave a goal—and
then ,the balloon went up!
Screams rose all around me,
but then I realized I wasn't—
for once—the victim of the
crowd's hatred.
It seemed that a linesman had
started to wave his flag for an
infringement on his side of the
ground, then, as the ball went
into the net, had dropped his
flag again and agreed with my
goal decision.
Over the line poured a gang
of hotheads. They made straight
for the linesman, and if the po-
lice hadn't formed a cordon
around him he might have end-
ed in hospital.
To settle the dispute, I man-
aged to get - to him to ask
whether he had flagged for an
infringement. He said he hadn't
—so the hullabaloo went from
bad to worse.
I sat down to wait for peace
to be restored, then I spotted
an angry group making towards
me.
They were led by one of the
officials of the. Nacional Club,
Once again the police pounced
and the gallant official and his
friends were dragged off the
field by force.
After seven minutes I man-
aged to get play started again,
and this time it was ended
with a victory for the visitors.
More yelling . . . and then
Caballo, centre - half of then.
Nocinal team, made straight for
me, grabbed by face in his hands
and hissed "Hijo de puta" at me.
That is one of the deadliest
insults in the Spanish language,
but, to save another scene, I had
to take it.
My only redress was to write
to the Uruguay Football Asso-
ciation urging that drastic ac-
tion should be taken against the
Nacional Club.
Of course, nothing happened.
Uruguay likes a little spice with
its football, and if an English
referee is knocked out — well,
it's all in the game!
And things are even worse, if
anything, in Colombia, where I
spent the season before last.
This is the country that has
such clubs as Bogota, Sante Fe
and the lVfillionarios, teams that
have tempted several of our
players to join them, with un-
happy results.
It was at a place called Cuenta
in Colombia where I had a re-
fereeing experience that nearly

A rugged individualist in Mi-
chigan, whose name regrettably
was omitted in the press dis-
patch, made history of a sort
the other day when he was ac-
quitted (on appeal to a higher
court) for the alleged offence
of taping-over on his car license
plate the words "Water Wonder-
land."
Seems he felt no yen to drive
around giving free advertising
to his state after paying good
money for the license tag, and
although he was convicted in
one court, he got a higher re-
versal.
As a matter of observable fact,
most people are happy to boast
of their home towns, home
states, their alma meters, their
regional festivals and the like
via stickers and placards. The
tags devised for cars of many
States refer proudly to peaches,
potatoes, dairy products, sun-
shine and other specialties pre-
sumably, -exclusive, and., there's
seldom a protest.
What is more common, and
more to be marveled at, is the
pride with which most motorists
drive around with plates and
designs advertising the firms
from which they bought their
cars, although this generous co-
ordination and reciprocity may
be explainable if a motorist still
owes the firm for his auto; .
Yet human nature is a wond-
erful institution, and as a rule
a fellow likes to do his regional
rooting on a voluntary basis, as
if he had thought up the idea
and provided, the gimmick and
were simply saturated with com-
munity or state enthusiasm. -
Having a badge of devoted
fervor wished off on him, via
a state auto tag, isn't spontane-
ous 'at all; a guy can hardly
claim credit for local pride in
any special degree if forced to
exhibit a • uniform label. Far
Within the huge walled for-
tress of legend-haunted Dublin
Castle a sallow-faeed whistling
ghost has been' seen prowling
after midnight.
So says ex-detective Patrick
Kenny, who until recently did
at the castle, and there are
four other people who testify to
the eerie story.
"I am not given to imagina-
tion," says Mr. Kenny. "I spent
more than 30 years in the Force.
I used to walk ,around at night,
sometimes by te old dungeons,
but after seeing what I did, I
wouldn't walk around there at
night if I had a searchlight to
guide me.

my office, down a long corridor,
for a cup of tea in the kitchen.
"I was only there a minute
when I heard a most beautiful
whistling. There were no pauses
for breath, and whoever or what-
ever was doing it was whistling
a traditional Irish melody.
"I asked the only other man .n
the kitchen: 'What's that? Who's
whistling?' He replied: 'Don't
pay too much attention. It's
been heard before.'
"Suddenly the whistle went
from one completely empty cor-
ner to a spot 20 feet high up on
the walls. Then a remarkable
thing happened. Outside the
kitchen window I saw the head
and shoulders of a figure go by.
"The face was sallow, and the
head seemed to be covered with
thin black hair. Although it was
dead quiet at that time of night,
I heard not a single footstep. The
face seemed to be that of a per-
son about 40 years old.
"I returned to the office, and
half an hour later the whistling
began again — right 'in the office.
Nobody „had-, come in with me,
and three other people present
all heard the whistling."
Mr. Kenny is quite sure it was
not someone playing a joke. The
whistling was heard again on
the following two nights, still
very sweet but frightening.
Mr. Kenny said: "What I ex-
perienced was definitely beyond
ordinary explanation."

Has Whistling Ghost
Sydney Brewer is a famous
English football referee, just
back home from a couple of
seasons in South Ant erica. Now
in "The People", he takes the
lid off the game as it is played
out there.
* * ri
How much longer is the Foot-
ball Association going to en-
courage English referees to go
out to South America to take
charge of football matches?
If I were. Sir Stanley Rous I
should firmly turn down every
request that comes in future
from that part of the world. I
say that from experience, for I
have been one of the mugs. And
they caught me twice.
I have spent two seasons out
there, one in Colombia and an-
other Uruguay, and I have to
report that in these countries—
as in the whole of South Amer-
ica—football isn't a sport.
It's a cross between bull-
fighting and a local war. With
the poor old referee a sort of
Aunt Sally in the middle of it.
The job is so downright dan-
gerous that I would recommend
any British referee who is
thinking of taking a season's
engagement out there either to
forget about it or to buy him-
self a bullet-proof waistcoat
and a cosh.
You will, I know, find the
stories. I am going to tell about
matches out there almost in-
credible. But I shan't be telling
Sir Stanley Rous anything he
doesn't know.
He has had reports on condi-
tions out there from me and
from other English referees that
must have made his hair sizzle.
Let's start with football' as it
is played in Colombia. Well, it
isn't played at all. It's fought.
It is meant to be.
For the game was organized
by the Government to take the
public's mind off politics and
revolutions. All it has done is
to transfer the. bloodshed from
the market-place to the football
pitch.
So the poor old English re-
feree is right iii the firing-line.
One indiscreet blow of his
whistle and he can start off a
war.
Although I am now back
home in my little shop at Salis-
bury, I shudder every time I re-
call a match I refereed last
January in Uruguay.
It was the needle match of
the season between clubs who
are deadly rivals, Nacional and
Pena rol.
There was an enormous
crowd, and I sensed the atinos-
