The Seaforth News, 1952-08-28, Page 3iI Y S1 ITC LC Reams and reams of stuff have been written and printed regarding the late — and front a Canadian standpoint, unlamented — Olympic doings over at llelsinki, We've :ward about the Yankee star who won the Decalthoui about the Czechoslovak husband and wife who between them Cleated up enough gold medals to make a bit set of teeth for Champion Jack Johnson; about this one, and that one, and the other One. * * r. But perhaps the most outstanding all-round athlete at those games re- ceived—at least as far as our per- sonal reading went—about as much publicity as would pad a crutch, send a very tiny crutch, at that. Not to make a secret of it, he was Larse Hall `of Sweden, the winner of the Modern Pentalthoni and while we :Sive never done any Modern Pen- talathoning ourself, and have no Immediate intention of starting, we would judge that it is a very tough event indeed to win, Or even to *inish, when you conte right down to it. And if you don't believe us, give a listen, * * * This contest for five widely diverse spots is the modern ver- sion of the most appreciated com- petition in the Olympiads of an- cient Greece. In those days the Pen- t'hathlon consisted of a sprint, a discus throw, a long or broad jump, a javelin throw and a wrestling tournament, The Greelcs used to se great store on all-round develop- ment and thought more of the "pen- tabiete" than they did of the spec- ialist in one event. rt * * The Modern Pentathlon which includes none of the original five came into the present series of the Olympics in 1912 at the instiga- tion of the founder, Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France. His main desire was to try and interest mili- tary leaders of all nations in a com- petition that would appeal to sold- iers. Thus the modern pentathlon submits entrants to the sort of thing a dispatch rider might have to undergo on active service. Tt comprises horse riding, fencing, shooting, swimming and cross country running. * * * 'What happens is that the com- petitor rides a horse, please note that it's a horse and not his 'horse, across a 5,000 -meter obstacle - strewn route traversed only once previously. He loses marks for falls, refusals and speed below 450 yards per minute, • * * His horse is then supposed to be shot from tinder hint and he engages his adversary with the sword, in this case the epee. Then our hero is obliged to resort to a pistol. He is allowed 20 shots at disappearing silhouettes ranged at 25 meters, Running out of ammu- nition he takes to the water and swims to the far bank—a distance of 300 meters. On climbing ashore he bas to make the rest of the way on his own feet — a 4,000 -meter cross-country run to the final destination. * * * Military men have always dom- inated the event but this year for itse very first time a non-military competitor was the -individual win- ner, we learn from the esteemed Christian Science Monitor. Larse Hass is a carpenter and part- time policeman at the do c k s of Gothenburg. The excellence of his all-round efficiency was clearly demonstrated by his ability to fin- isls first in two events and no lower than 15tH in the other three. And all in a top -grade international field of 51, * * * Victory for Hall was not alto- gether a surprise because in 1940 and again in 1951 he was world champion at modern pentathlon - ism. It was also in keeping with tradition because except for 1936 the Olympic gold medal winner has always been a Swede. In fact, except for U.S.A. in the pole vault and broad jump it is hard to find an Olympic event which one coun- try has so consistently dominated 'or 40 years. J * * k When the modern pentathlon made its Olympic debut in their 'apical city of Stockholm the Swedes packed one, two, three. [hey repeated at Antwerp in 1920 Ind yet again at Paris in 1924, At Amsterdam in 1928 and at Los Angeles in 19.32 the Swedes missed SALLY'S SALLIES `at "This is ti e master's bedroom And there Js—stere" He's All Ears—in the jungle of his cornfield, Basil Soupos holds a yardstick to demonstrate the prolific yield he has received via liberal fertilizing. Seven ears can be counted in this 36 -inch seg- ment of Soupos' 100 acres of corn. The civil engineer -turned -farm- er figures he has about 30,000 stalks per acre while some of his neighbors get no more than 7000. Because of the lack of rain Soupos probably won't reach his coveted goal of 200 bushels per acre, but if the dry spell continues he'll flood his field with water pumped from the Chariton River. Looking ahead, Soupos says he won't be satisfied until he raises 300 bushels per acre. the grand sweep only dropping third place both tinges. In each case their third competitor finished fourth. * * * At Berlin in 1936 the representa- tives of the blue and yellow flag for the first and so far only time were not among the medal winners, They placed fourth, 10th and 16th. At London in 1948 they were back again and placed first and third, with their number three competitor occupying 17th place. Tisen over at Helsinki they were first, ninth and eleventh, which gave them second place in the team tourney officially decided for the first time in con- junction with the individual com- petition. Ilungary with second, third and 12th was the winner. Fin- land was third, U.S.A. fourth, U.S.S.R. fifth and Brazil sixth, * * * As for Mr. Larse Hall, the indi- vidual champ, he is probably back at Isis duties of carpentering and part -tine policing. We merely add that we would hate to be a yegg on the laps in dear old Gothenburg during the part of the time Larse is pounding his police heat. Loved a Gid, so Burned Her Village If you loved a girl madly and she jilted you, would you kill her, or burn down her house and with it a whole village? In cold blood you'll certainly answer no. And yet such things happen to seemingly sane people. Way back in 1937 two. Arab troopers of a famous French Co- lonial cavalry regiment went one evening to a soldiers' cafe, where both fell in -love' simultaneously with a lovely blonde dancing girl. Each claimed her, and neither would give way, thought they were close friends. The Unknown Blonde Quarrelling violently, they de- cided to fight a duel to the death —for a girl neither had known for more than an hour! With the girl, they made their way to a quiet spot. Then, draw- ing their heavy cavalry sabres, the troopers formally saluted and crossed blades. For twenty min- utes the fight raged furiously. The girl, the only witness, clapped her hands ecstatically whenever one of them was in danger. Cut and parry, thurst and lunge, every trick of swordsmanship was used. Suddenly, the guard of one was pierced and he fell mortally wound- ed. At that moment police arrived on the scene, and the victor,, hav- ing killed Isis on friend for an un- known blonde, fled the scene for his' life—without the girl! Jealously, too, was the motive which led an Indian to seek re- venge on a girl who refused 'to marry hitn. Enraged, he set fire to her home in a village near Aligarh, United Provinces, when the girl and her family were inside. They escaped injury, though the fire spread rapidly and burned down • almost every house in 'the Indian village. Some people were badly injured, but no lives were lost. The Indian was imprisoned for arson. Often the fit of jealousy lasts only for a few''seconds, to be fol- lowed by bitter remorse. It hap- pened that way to an Italian, who arrived home one night to find Isis wife in the arms of a lover. In jealous rage, he picked tip tlse other man and threw hint out of the window—to his death! In vain he pleaded in a Rome court for clem- ency. Bitterly sorry though lit was, he was sentenced to five years' im- prisonment. -Playing With Fire One of the oddest stories which has its origin in jealousy is told of a beautiful coquette named Mme. Tirevit, an actress at tlse Imperial Opera in the early nineteenth cen- tury, in Paris, Playing with fire, she deliberately caused two men— M. le Pique and M. de Grandpre — to fall in love witis her. Each begged her to marry him, Mme. Tirevit refused them both, but promised herself to whichever should prove himself the better man. They decided to fight a duel — in balloons! So two identical balloons were built, and in the garden of the Tuileries thousands of people gathered one fine morning to wit- ness the strangest of all duels. The balloons were released some eighty yards apart, both containing a duel- list, accompanied by a second. At a given signal, each was to at- tempt to shoot down by blunder- buss his rival's balloon. M. le Pique fired first but missed. M. de Grandpre's aim was better, how- ever, and he put a shot right through his opponent's balloon. Collapsing, it fell to the ground with such force that both M. le Pique and the second were killed. Did the victor marry his be- witching lady? Nol Mme. Tirevit refused to keep her promise. Only a few years ago a strange story of jealous love was reported from Nice south of France. A nine- teen -year-old youth, Andre de Maurizl, wanted to harry a seven- teen -year-old girl with who'd he was deeply in love. ' Tragedy in a Bar IIer father refused his consent, saying she was promised to an- other. One evening his sweet- heart was having a drink in a bar when Andre walked in and threw Hs arms around her. Almost in- stantly there was an explosion, killing the girl and mortally injur- ing Andre. Before be died, he con- fessed his plain to kill ttsem both with a hand grenade hidden under his shirt. Sometimes, the act which pro- vokes mall jealousy is innocent enough. For instance, in Warsaw in 1937, a young man named Wasyl Tynkow saw his sweet- heart (lancing with another man, It led to eight deaths! Ills girl, twenty -year-old Par- aska Pawiysuko, was the local beauty queen. Though in love with Wasyl, she liked to dance with other men, Wasyl knew, however, that Paraska had another suit- or, much wealthier than Ie, and he suspected that her relatives and friends were trying to make her jilt him in favour of the wealthier man. Ire forbade her to dance with others, and, when 'he saw her do- ing so, raced home and wrote a BUSINESS OPP gr:TUNITY Complete equipment available for manufacture of high quality building and insulating block.
