w Trapshooting is nut, of ecarst, what
might be termed a popular sport. It has a
Ilmlted 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
ecord, 334, compiled by Nets Stewart, shook( bare been voted
Canada's athlete of the year.
Richard is the Babe Ruth of hockey, a dynamic showman, a
magnetic figure. But it seems as though the selevfors, perhaps
• soured by Canada's fareine of honors et the Olympic Games,
overlooked one. of the most brilliant achievements of 1952 by
a Canadian youth. We mean the performance of 17-yc;ar•old
George Genereux of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the high school
boy who won 10 of Canada's total o1 30 points, and its only
Gold Medal, symbol of Olympic supremacy, when he defeated
the greatest trap -shooters in the world. That one tin young
should win such honors is unusual. That he should loch the
acclaim such a performance merits, is unfortunate.
Goorge Genereux's record in his favorite Spee. is Me
short of fabulous. Ile Was only 13 years old when he first
started to shoot at the Saskatoon Gaut Club, Ills ability was
quickly spotted by Jimmie Girgulls, veteran trapshooting star,
Girienlis was introducing his sons to the stay -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 toarnament_wise
fsirgulis kept George tinder his wing and has been his coach
;md mentor ever since.
Tlie first major viel.ory 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 Ameriean Trapshooting ASSOriattOn 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 contest:: 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 goingto the Olympics he stopper! 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 in 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.

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,
.If 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 heaved out of the
congregation.

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
tomato - has, not, unfortunately,
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 Hodge went
through a course of athletics
which would make some of these
Olympic Decalthoners look like
:loafers.
}
Not -to make too much of a
:mystery of it, Giles and Hodge
tied into one another at stool -
bail, 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 prebabiy
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 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 Skiiton, 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
M two, each taking half, - and let
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
he and the young lady lived hap -

you is that, every Good Friday
since then, they stage the tradi-
tional marbles tournament in
the forecourt of the old Grey-

their challengers include the
Handcross Bttlldogs, 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-

probably couldn't hope to make
any sort of a cleanup picking

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 shat] , oppose
which. Bach 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 beow 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 beer.
knocked out.
e 5 ,}
A shooter scores one point to
each marble 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 ' toiley" 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 "toiley" 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 eharo-
pionabip where they start sol

hies in the center of the ring '

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 on the
mind, and keeps the kiddies up
too late. 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 TV? ---unless it's
a horror film, ))adio thriller, or
even a creepy book.
Nail-biting is said to be due to
the instinct of a' child to put
every object in its mouth. (Also
listed as one of the reasons why
ptpesmakiug is popular. with
men.) " It', an automatic, U0c00-
stious and frequently impulsive
act," according to the Journal of
We A.M.A., "an expression of
tenseness usut,lly found in fidge-
ty, highly -strum:, over active
children."
Treatment should be aimed al
finding the cause of the tension.
-Nagging or punishing a nail -
biter never stops him for mare
than half a minute. 1t often in-
creases his tension:' says the
Journal. "Is he being urged o1
corrected or warned or scolded
loo 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
ur the fingers."
