The Brussels Post, 1953-4-1, Page 7reF.CadVeit sranTs COLUMN 9erpee444 • Trap -shooting is not, of coarse. what might be termed a popular sport, It has a 'Wilted participation, an evemmnore limited spectator following.'So it was but natural that a glittering hockey star, pocket ltiolutrd of Montreal Canadiens, whose feat In breaking the ancient lifetime goals record, 324, compiled by )Vets Stewart, should have been voted Canada's athlete oe 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 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-shootersin the world. That one so, young should win such honors is unusual. That he should lack Ole 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 SaskatoonGunClub. His ability was quickly spotted ,by Jimmie Girgulls, veteran trapshooting star. Girgulls was introducing his sons 10 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 au important meeting, for, from that time on tournament -wise Glrgulis kept George under his i'eing and has been his coach 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 competitions at Vandalea, Ohio, he won three North American champion- ships—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. To this he added the Saskatchewan Championship (Singles). Then before going to the Olympics he stopped at Oslo, Norway, where he placed second in the World Champion- ships. George Genereux is just a normal boy. In a game that requires chilled -steel nerves, there is no ice -water in. his veins. At school, he Is a star Ln hockey and baseball. And a good student. Just a normal, healthy young Canadian, whose fine feat was, unfortunately, overlooked in the attention paid more glamorous competitive sports. Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge St., Toronto. Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTSURG, ONTARIO Championships, trophies and playoffs in sport are a dime a dozen,. or thereabouts. But what would you think of a champion- ship „that has been contested an- nually for just 365 years? Well, 3f you'll hold still for a moment, we shall try to give you the low- down—and if anyone asks if we, personally, were present when the contest was initiated, he -will be promptly caved out 0f . the eongregation.' • 5 5 5 Well then, it seems that back in the year there were two young men, Giles and Hodge, living in the village, of Tinsley Green who were both greatly smitten with the charms of a young lady of the vicinity. The name of this lomat0 has not, alnfortpnately, come down to us through the passage of the years, ' but she must have been, something of a looker because, In order to prove which was most Worthy of her hand, Giles and ;Bodgewent through a course of athletics ,^ which would .make some of these Olympic Decalthoners Iook like loafers. e 5 5 Not to make too much of a mystery of it, Giles and Hodge tied into one another at stool - ball, ring -ball, club -ball, hand- ball, hand -tennis, archery, cud- gel play and wrestling. And when they were finished the score,•'be= lieve it or not, was absolutely even. (A friend of ours, who has a suspicious turn of mind, sug- gests that the lads were probably making it close in order to assure plenty of customers for the fi- nals; but we resent such a sug- gestion, which shows too much of the modgrn commercialistic spirit to haveexisted so long ago—we hope, Besides,, the rec- ords don't mention anything about gate receipts at all, so we ate willing to let it go that the lads were strictly levelling, al- though we must say.. that they were certainly;, very evenly snatched.) - 5 5 5 Sydney Skilton, writing in the Christian Science Monitor, says ,that at this point some Tinsley Green character made the Solo- mon -like suggestion that the boys should saw the young lady in two, each taking half, and let it go at that But the lady had a better • idea, and proposed that her swains sheuid , battle ••it out, to a finish, at—hold your breath now!—the sport of marbles. Y 0 e The sports writers of that era must have been a sloppy lot, because they have failed to, rec- ord which was the winner—CTiles or Hodge—and whether or .not he and the young lady lived hap - it Hidden Horse Hide—Ducking the .ball behind a pitcher's glove.

Does the receipt of a. birth announcement obligate 000 to send a gift to the baby? A. There certainly is no ob- ligation attached, but It is a nice gesture..lf, however, one feels one cannot afford a gift or is not on intimate terms with the new parents, then a congratulatory card or handeeritten note would be in melee, Q, What should a person say when about to be introduced to the same person for the second time? - A, A suitable expression would be, "Thank you, but I have al- ready had the pleasure of meet- ing Mr, Williams," Q.

Those snow suits will soon be exchanged for sun suits. pily ever after, All we can tell you is that, every Good Friday since then, they stage the tradi- tional marbles tournament in the forecourt of the old Grey- hound Inn, in Tinsley Green. It's a gala occasion with teams'from all the neighboring hamlets and villages out in full force to do or die for the honor of their respective communities -and we wouldn't mind making a small ' wager that it's' not much of a holiday for the tapsters and bar- maids of said Greyhound Inn, 5 o * The team title is presently held by the Tinsley Green Tigers — which is more than the Detroit Tigers can say—and this year their challengers include the Handeross Bulldogs, the Cop- thorne Cherrypiekers, the Arun- del Mullets, the Fletching Fusi- liers and goodness only knows who else. It looks like a big day, with plenty of action, and we just love to be there, al- though our knowledge of marbl- ing form is very small, and we probably couldn't hope to make any sort of a cleanup picking winners. o- ' The procedure In this British marbles championship is that teams of six players each take part. They are drawn in pairs to decide which side shall oppose whish. Each match is commenced by the two. captains concerned standing upright by the circle and dropping their "tolleys" (the heavy glass marble with which the shooting. is done) from im- mediately below their noses to a line marked en the ground. The one nearer to the line then opens the shooting toed members of the opposing sides operate alternate- ly until all the 49 light'clay mar- 1 bles bunched, ,originally in the center of. the ring have been. knocked out. x A shooter scores one point to, each marble he drives out (using a thumb action dike it steel - spring) and if his "toile,'' re- mains in the .ring 'after a aticcess- :tut shot he is permitted to sheet again. Should, however, he fail to expel a marble and at the same time leave his 'tolley" in the circle tach of the opposing players May try to shoot it out. Should this happen a' point is added to the score and the un- fortunate "tolley" owner is out of , the match for good and all. 0 o s The highest scorer in each team then goes forward into the i match for the individual Cham- pionship where they start r;) over again but with only 13 mar- bles in the center of the ring. a A Should we get any word of how the battle terns out, you may be sure rve'11 relay the news 1 to you as promptly as possible. And, somehow or other, we just wish we had a ticket on those Copthorne •Cherrypickers We don't know .a thing about their ability, or whether they can stand up under a tough grind. But we certainly do like that name. Television Causes Onychophagy??? Television gets the blame for many things these. days. It kills the art of conversation, say non - viewers, acts as a drug 00 the mind, and keeps the kiddies up too -late. Now it's being cited as e spreader of onychophagy. There may be something in it.

Nail-biting is said to be due to the instinct of a child to put 'every object in its mouth, (Alao. listed as one of the reasons why pipesmoking is popular with mon.) " It's an automatic, uncon- scious and 'frequently impulsive act," according to the Journal of the A.M.A., "an expression of tenseness usually found in fidge- ty, highly -strung, over -active children." Treatment should be aimed at finding the cause of the tension. "Nagging or punishing a nail., biter never stops him for more than half a- minute. It often in- ereeses- his tension," says the Journal.

Men have to love their neighbor as themselves whether they like it or not." — Rev, SamuelnHenry Prince.

Robert Lynd. "The intelligent man, when he pays taxes, certainly does not be- lieve that he is making a ,pru- dent and productive investment of his moneye. on the contrary, he feels that he is being mulc- ted' of an excessive amount for services that, in the' main, are useless to him, and that, in sub- stantial part, aredownright in- imical to him." -H.
