Trap -shooting is not, o'f eourse, what
might be termed a popular 16port, It has a
limited participation, an even more limited
spectator following. So it was but natural
that a glittering ,hockey star, Rocket
Richard of Montreal •Canadiens, Whose
feat in breaking the ancient lifetime goals
record, 324, compiled. by Mels Stewart, should. have been voted
Canada's athlete of the year. ••••
Rielxard 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 19:$2• 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 -shooters in the world'. That one so young
should win such honors is unusual. That he should lack the
acclaim such a performance merits, is unfortunate.
George Genereux's record in his favorite sport is little
sb,ort of fabulous. He was only 13 years old when he first
started to shoot at the Saskatoon Gun Club. His ability was
quickly spotted by Jimmie Girgulis, veteran trapshooting star.
Girgulis was introducing his sons to 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 an
important meeting, 'for, from that time on tournament_w'ise
Girgulis kept George under bis wing and has been his coach
and mentor ever. since.
The first major victory in competitive shooting for George
was in 1949, •ivhen 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 Vandalia; 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'iee-water in his veins.
At school, he is a star in hockey and baseball. And a good
student. Just a normal, healthy young Canadian, whose fine
feat was, unfortunately, overlooked in the attention porde more
glamorous competitive sports.

Well then, it seems that back
In the year there were two young
nen, Giles and Hodge, living in
the village of Tinsley Green who
were both greatly smitten with.

(A friend of ours, who has a
suspicious tarn of mind, sug-
gests that the lads were probably
leaking 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 modern commercialistic
spirit to have existed so long
ago—we hope -Besides, the rec-
ords don't mention anything
about gate receipts at all, so we
are willing to let it go that the
lads were strictly levelling, al-
though we must say that they
were certainly very evenly
matched.)
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 i.et
it go at that. But the lady had
a better idea, and proposed that
her swains should battle it out,
to a finish, at—hold your breath
now!—the sport of marbles.

The sports writers of that era
must have been a sloppy lot,
because they have failed to rec-
ord which was the winner—Giles
or Hodge --and whether or not

pily ever after. Al) we can tell
you is that, every Good Friday
since then, they stage the tradie
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.
The team title is presently held
by the Tinsley Green Tigers —
whiola is more than the Detroit
Tigers can say—and this year
their challengers include . the
Handcross Bulldogs, the Cop-
thorne Cherrypickers, 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. '"
The procedure in this British
Tnarbies championship is that
teams of six players each take
part. They are drawn in Hairs to
decide which side shall oppose
which. 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 on the ground. The
one nearer to the line' then opens
the shooting and members of the
opposing sides operate alternate-
ly until all the 49 light clay mar-
bles bunched originally in the
center of the ring have been
knocked out.
A shooter scores one point to
each inarble he drives out using
a thumb action like a steel -
spring) and if his "tolley" re-
mains in the ring after a success-
ful shot he is permitted to shoot
again. Should, however, he fail
to expel a marble and at the
same time leave his ' tolley" in
the circle each 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.
The highest scorer in each
team then goes forward into the.
match for the individual cham-
pionship where they start .al

bees in the center of• the ring

Television\ Causes
Onychophagy???
Television WAS the blame for
many things these. days. It kills
the art of conversation, say • nun -
viewers, acts as a drug on the
mind, and keeps the kiddies up
too Bite. Now it's being cited as
a spreader of onychophagy
There may be something in it.
For what is more conducive to
nail-biting (alias onychophagy)
among the very young than an
eerie play on Tit? --unless it's
a horror .film, radio thriller, or
even a creepy book.
....Nail-biting is said to be due to
the instinct of li child to put
every object in its mouth. (Also
listed es one of the reasons why
pipesmoking is popular with
mein) " lt''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
fending' the cause of the tension.
"Nagging or punishing a nail -
biter never stops him for more
than half a minute. Et often in-
creases his tension," says the
Journal. "Is he being urged or
corrected or warned or scolded
too much?"
One final word of warning:
"Bitter drugs applied to the nails
- do little good. Some children
grow to enjoy the taste of drugs;
others turn to biting other parts
of 'the fingers,"
