been written and printed regarding
the late — told from a Canadian
rstandlioint, unlamented — Olympic
doings over at Helsinki. We've

won 'the Decalthon; about the

taut perhaps the most outstanding
all-round tablet( at those games re-
seived—at least as far as our per-
sonal reading went—about as mach
publicity as would pad a crutch,
and a very tiny crutch, at that. Not
to make a secret (>f it, he was Larse
IFlall of Sweden, the winner of the
Modern Pcntalthon; and while we
have 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
finish, when you come right down
to it. And if you don't believe us,
give a listen.
* sD *
This 'contest for five widely
diverse sports is the modern ver-
sion of the most appreciated com-
petition in the Olympiads of an-
cient Greece. In those days the Pen-
9hathlon consisted of a sprint, a
discus throw, a long or broad jump,
a javelin throw and a wrestling
tournament, The Greeks used to se
great store on all-round develop -
anent and Thought more of the "pen-
tathlete" than they did of the spec-
ialist in one event.
* * *
The Modern Pentathlon which
includes none of the original five
came into the present series of the
Olympics in 19I2 at the instiga-
tion of the founder, Baron Pierre
ale 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. It
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 -mater 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 under him and he
engages his adversary with the
sword, in this case the sped. 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 hank—a distance
of 300 meters. On climbing ashore
he has 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
the 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 docks
of Gothenburg. The excellence of
his all-round efficiency was clearly
demonstrated by his ability to fin-
ish 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 pcntathlon-
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
for 40 years.
* * * e
When the modern pentathlon
made its Olympic debut in their
capital city of Stockholm the
Swedes packed one, two, three.
They repeated at Antwerp in 1920
and yet again at Paris in 1924. At
Amsterdam in 1928 and at Los
Angeles in 1932 the Swedes missed
SALLY'S SALLIES
eti
"This is the master's bedreent
hold there !tl-44aster."
. 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 kick ,if rain...
Soupos probably won't reach his coveted goal of 200 bushels per
acre, but if the dry spell continues he'IF 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 by 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. Then over at
Helsinki they were first, ninth and
eleventh, which gave then second
place in the team tourney officially
decided for the first time in con-
junction with the individual com-
petition. Hungary 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 his duties of carpentering and
part-time policing. We merely add
that we would hate to be a yegg
on the lam in dear old Gothenburg
during the part of the time Larse is
pounding his police beat.
Loved a Carl, so
Burned Her Village
If you loved a girl madly and
she jilted you, would you kill her,
or burn clown her house and with
it a whole village? In cold brood
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 felt 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 h's 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 him. 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
lilmost every house in the Indian
village. Some people were badly
injured, but no lives were lost,
The Indian was ilnpr'soned 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 •
his wife in the arms of a lover. In
jealous rage, he picked up the other
man and threw hien out of the
window—to his death! In vain he
pleaded in a Rome court for clem-
ency. Bitterly sorry though he 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 Mine.
Tirevit, an actress at the 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 with her,
Each begged her to marry hien,
Mme. Tir'i'it refused them both,,
but promised herself to whichever
should prove himself the better
mean, They decided to fight a duel
—in balloons!
So two identical balloons were
built. and in il,c l;asttc>s ut tiro
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. •aeconipanied 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 hissed, 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 110. le
Pique and the second were killed,
Did the victor marry his be-
witching lady? No! 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 marry a seven-
teen -year-old girl with whorl he
was deeply in love.
Tragedy in a Bar
Iler 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
his amts around her. Almost in-
stantly there was an explosion,
killing the girl and mortally injur-
ing Andre. Before he died, he con-
fessed his plan to kill them both
with a hand grenade hidden under
his shirt.
Sometimes, the act which pro-
vokes mace jealousy is innocent
enough. For instance, in Warsaw
in 1937, a young man named
Wasyl Tynkow saw his sweet-
heart dancing with another man.
It led to eight deaths:
I-Iis girl, twenty -year-old Par-
aska Pawlyszko, was the local
beauty queen. Though in love .with
Wasyl, she liked to stance with
other men, '1,V•asyl knew, however,
that Paraska had another suit-
or, much wealthier than he, and he
suspected that her relatives and
friends were trying to make her
jilt hint its favour of the wealthier
loan.
He. forbade her to glance with
others, and, when he saw her do-
ing so, raced home and wrote a
