Anyone naive enough ° to believe that
everyone involved 'With sports is . a
spc rtsnxl,an, .or that as something' done
for self-satisfaction and
entertainment, sports, in. general are
n,ot the deadly, serious business that:

Headed by Avery Brundage, the 84-
7,
4-, yea told anachroism who has
threatened to disrupt Olympic games,
summer and winter, for, the past
decade or so, the IOC proved itself,
worthy" ofits laughing -stock image.
wffen it denounced a lone Austrian
skier, Karl Schranz, in order to save
face.
Accused of cashing 'in on his
excellence in his chosen field o.f. sport,
Schranz was, drummed out of ' thie
games without so much as a hearing. '
Of -course heawas guilty according to
the written word of the Olympic code;
but then saris just about every other
athlete competing at Sapporo. The
',only difference between the Austrian
skier and any member, of the Canadian
ski team is that Schranz was paid -
individually for his advertising while
Canadians receive support as, a •
member of the national ski team -=and
he was paid much more handsomely.
But the fact remains in the real world°
of global competition and costly.
equipment and travel, not to mention
x2,32+9 raised
inettes for. Fis.n
the necessity of eating while training,
such a saint as a Simon pute athlete
cannot live -not unless he happens to
bea millionaire. _•'
Canada pulled oq ot world hockey
Competition because it's could' tot
tolerate the' double standards of
professional and amateur status. Had
it not,• been for the, fact .at would have
financially°ruined the city of Sapporo,
in order to force the issue, it would
have been' best acre- every sli teaiii a
this ' Winter's 'Olympics , to have
• withdrawn en masse. As it stands, ' the
future Of -th -,4975 Winter games is
very much4n doubt.
The lia,lf-t'°ruths and double
standards ;being perpetrated by
Brundage and the IOC are not
beneficial to the Olympics -or sports in,
general. To the common mann, the only
person involved •in last week's pre -
Olympic exhibition making much
sense was the ousted Schranz when' he
told the world's press that nineteenth
century attitudes favoring • rich
compethtorsover poor ones, could no
longer apply. Now until Mr. Brundage
is forced to retire and the remainder
_of the IOC see the light, we' willbe
faced with the "spectacle of skiers,
skaters, runners, etc. walkirig around
with manufacturer's names carefully
inked or taped out on their. 'equipment
and state supported athletes allowed
to compete with those who must drum
up their own Support. How ridiculous
can you get?

On Tuesday, February 8, the
ThirdGoderich Girl Guides went
on joyous sleighride. They were
told to bring'their supper.
Mr. Hindmarsh had two horses ,
hitched to the sleigh. One was a
Clydesdale and the other was a"
Belgian. We went riding through
the country and the jingle of sleigh
bells was music to our ears. When
the ride was over, the Guides went
to Camp Klahane tci„ eat their
supper. Some Guides walkedfrom
Mr. Hindmarsh's place to 'the
camp, but most of them got a ride
in the cars.
That night we came home tired
but happy.
