The Seaforth News, 1950-02-09, Page 2SPORT A st.e,rC The second half of the Twentieth Fentury either started ou January irst, 1950, or won't start until January First, 1951, And although our ]personal belief is that the latter asumption is the correct one, we can think of a heap of things better worth losing sleep over. * h, # But. there are a whole lot of edit- ors and columnists Who have jump- ed the gun, and gone ahead on the idea that this dear delightful century is already over the hump. So there have been lists and lists of the out- standing men and women --the most memorable events — the greatest horses — the best jockeys — and a whole lot more that we have already forgotten. * v The Associated Press has been takin polls of sports editors and sportcasters along such lines, and the latest news turned loose to an expectant world is that Jesse Owens was the greatest track -and field athlete to emerge since 1900. 5 * * Our own vote would have been for big Jim Thorpe, the greatest all-round performer these eyes have ever had the pleasure of watch- ing in action, However Thorpe's 1912 Olympic Decalthon honors were taken away from him on the grounds of professionalism; and this angle — also the fact that he had al'•eady been picked as the greatest footballer — may have influenced the experts in voting him ;to better than second in the track-and-field. The vote wasn't even close — 201 for Owens; 74 for Thorpe. It would be hard, at that, to find much fault with the selection of the tall Negro sprinter as tops. Ever since spurt was organized and stop- watches were invented, hundreds of thousands — possihl' millions — of athletes, stale and female, have palter' and perspired trying to smash established records, But never' before — or since — did any one athlete do so much along those 1' res ,s ,nesse Owens did one after- noon almost ,fifteen years ago — May 25, 1935 to be precise — at Ann Arbor, Michigan, while competing in a "Rig Tan" track and field meet. * a Her., briefly, is what the long brunette actually did before head- ing for the showers that memorable day. Competing in the colors of Ohio State l.-niversity he tied the la3 yard mark of 9 and 4/5 seconds, He scampered 220 yards on the flat in 20 and 3/10th, seconds and skimmed the same distance over the low hurdles in 22 and 3 /Sths. And somewhere, in among these chores, he rested up by broad -jumping 26 feet 8 and ?..i inches. c 5 '*'hese last three were all new world records; and as 200 meters happens to be a trifle shorter than 220 yards, these tines were also accepted as new world marks for the metric distances as well. That is to say, between sunup and sun- down, Mr. Owens tied one world's recon" and set five new ones — all of which were formally accepted as international standards. And even now, although new and more specialized crops of athletes have been hammering away at those marks for almost fifteen years, Owens still, at this writing, holds clear title to the 220 yard, the 200 meter, and the broad jump marks. So the folks who voted' him into tot' position as a track -and -fielder assuredly weren't marking their "X's" for any raw hand, Maxim's Crown—Joey 7,1axiui of Cleveland hold the trophy after winning the light heavy- weight chainpinnship by a knockout over l/gland's Fred. •1' \fills in the 10th round Of their London light. l l'C But if you were to ask Jesse Owens about it, he'd tell you that the biggest kick he ever got out of athletics wasn't what he did, that day over in Michigan. The follow- ing yea- those great promoters of international good fellowship known as the Olympic Games happened to be held in a 'place called Berlin, where a guy named Adolph Hitler was chucking quite a swell. # * 5 Mr. Hitler' was a strong believer in the moral, intellectual and pity-' weal superiority of the white races, especially, the Nordics, over all others. The idea of a Negro kicking dust in his Heiling heroes' faces didn't appeal to Adolph a little bit; al d although he managed to be on hand with the congratulations any time were German winners, he was always out having a snack of liver- wurst or some such whenever Jesse e wens hit the wire in. front. 5 # at Bus if Jesse brooded over this neglect, he didn't let the gloom get down into his speedy dogs. And when the returns were all in and counted it Was discovered .that Owens had copped the 100 and 200 meter dashes, also the broad jump; and for good measure run a leg on the victorious 400 meter relay teal/. # # # Putting it all in a couple of nut- shells. at one time Owens either possessed outright, or held a joint share in, eight standard outdoor records, to say nothing of a whole mess of assorted indoor marks. Yes, indeed, anything but a raw hand was Jesse Owens when it came to picking them up and setting them down swiftly, 5 e We have already told you that Jim Thorpe came second in the voting; and if you're still interested, Paavo Nurnti, the Finnish distance runner, was in the third slot with Outrunning His Horse — jockey J Dow cleswell is throwng from his saddle in the Newent Handicap'Chase run at Chelten- ham. England, Looks like that 13 on his horse, Caclamstown, is an unlucky number a 31 vote total, just one ahead' of Glen Cunningham, also a distance man. * pt ,r In fifth place was Cornelius War- m rdans, whose amazing mark of 15 feet Me inches is considered, by many, as the greatest individual feat ever perforated in track. He had 12 votes, just three more than Mrs. sMildred Didrikson Zaharias, Olympic champion and world rec- ord holder, better known as *'The Babe." l 0 * Seventh position went to Charlie Paddock the sprinter, who was followed, in that order, by Gunder Hagg, Swedish distance man, Bob Mathias, Olympic Dqcalthon champ, and Mrs. Fanny Blankers-Koen, the swift lady from Holland. It will be noted that there wasn't a Canadian on the list, and that those who do their athleting under the jolly old Stars and Stripes outnumbered all others by 7 to 3. * * * Still, this latter /sight be partly ac:ounted for by the fact that vot- ing experts who do their experting under the saline banner in all prob- abilit-- outnumbered those of other nations by an even bigger margin. An editorial writer in Wallace's Farmer asks a question which must have cone to the minds of thous- ands who have been on the land during the past fifteen years or so, with the business of farming be- coming more and more mechanized. The question is — WHAT IF YOU'D KEPT YOUR TEAM? 5- :k 5 It's only natural for a farmer to wonder how well off he'd be if he'd continued using horses as his chief motive power. He knows that with- out a tractor he'd have worked harder, or needed more hired help. But what about the comparative coats of feed for the horses, and "feed" for the tractor? * * * Well, the U.S. Bureau of Agricul- tural Economics says feed cost per head for horses has gone up 135 per cent since 1935-39. Of course, a farmer bought his oats and hay from himself. That /lakes some dif- ference, 5 # '5 But compare this 135 per cent in - creme in feed cost per horse with the cost of new tractors—up 66 per cent. And the aoet of gasoline—up 34 per cent. And the cost of tires— up 25 per cent. 5 5 * It will be no news to anyone in the business of milk producing when I say that milk cows are a whole lot more work in the winter than dur- ing the rest of the year. But there are some of those winter chores which you can't slow down on, or cut out: entirely, without feeling the reenite where it really hurts—in the old pocket -book, to be exact. # 5 'r And if you don't believe this, maybe the following account of some actual experiences will change your mind, of n # Take feeding, for instance, Why not save labor by feeding grain and roughage just once a day?. Exper- imenters tried this on a bunch of Holsteins. Another group was fed inthe usual way. The twice -a -day eaters took 70 per cent more work. But they ate 10 per cent mare alfalfa hay and turned out 6 per cent more milk, Even with the extra work, they *hawed a 4 per cent income adven- Mge, # . * So, if you have the time, you'll want to continue feeding twire daily, * e* George Slater and 5011 go a step farther. Their Holsteins are fed three times a day. Corn silage in the morning, with grain. Hay and silage at noon. Silage and hay again at night, with the second grain feed. e # # What about saving work by once - a -day milking? Milk yield would be sure to be disappointing. The often- er you milk good cows, the greater theirdaily production. :k e * Three -time milking has been shown to yield all the way from 6 to 20 per cent more milk than when you two-time cows. And four -time milking adds another 6 per cent. But most farmers don't favor that much work. And why should they, when you can get a herd average of more than 600 pounds of fat with twice -a -day milking? That's -what Carl Lueder, in the Middle West, did last year. At 618.3 pounds, Lueder's herd of grade Guernseys was the only herd to top 600. His average has gone up from 492 pounds in 1934. # ,p * A neighbor gave one reason for Lueder's high production—besides good cows — when he said: "Carl just lives with his cattle." And he does things efficiently. His 23 cows get rapid machine inilk- ing. There's deep bedding on the concrete floor. And he hasn't been buying outside stock. 5 * 5 All these things have helped, No calf losses from Bang's, either. "We vaccinate all our young stuff," Carl explained. Lueder also is a great believer in a regular routine.—iso the cows get to know what's coming." In.winter, that means milking at six and six, But, in the morning, the Lueder herd is out for water during breakfast, doesn't get silage and grain until late. "Doesn't matter," says Carl, "just so it's regular." * ,r * ' You can give credit to careful feeding -along with breeding and management—for high herd records, Lueder, for instance, feeds a lot of silage—about 40 pounds per cow per day. Silage feeding starts in Octo- ber, runs thru until May. The Slaters atart silage early, too. 'Phis winter, they started with grass silage. Later, they shifted to corn How I Subdued Wild Fiery ftch— liProsDp enalo,'n -5' i,dhely etokw—paDt, lC Dl9 this pure,eoatn0, liquid ma deaden epe,dOoles iya*e*esentlacomofsrommo10f ia hln0caused and OthmlTrial bo0610,5 Erratum chOoke even most in5enItc* Or money back, Ask etartir1 D:D,Preecrlptldn(ordlnnry 55 extra strength) t, SOW, ISSUE 6 -- 1080 silage (grass freezes mare), will finish up with grass silage again fn' the spring. * * * Walter Iiruentpel has a way of getting cows to eat more hay. 'Feed them clover one time and alfalfa the next," he said. "Our Brown Swiss get 35 pounds of corn silage a day. No heavier, because I want them to consume all the hay they will." What about grain? Jerry Spencer cautioned against over -feeding. "I feed according to production," he said, "until they get too high I do everything I can to hold a fresh cow's production down the first week or two. And none ever gets more than 14 pounds of grain a day." * # * Stater agreed. "We don't have as much mastitis trouble as when we fed grain heavier," he said. * a # One common rule says 14 pounds of grain are about right for a cow producing, two pounds of fat. An- other rule says one pound of grain for each two and one-half pounds of milk: with a high fat test, down to one pound for each four or' five -, pounds of low -test milk: * * * But you can't go entirely by rules. There's an art to keeping a cow do- ing her best, "If you see a cow come in at night, and she doesn't look as if she cares about eating, better watch her grain ration," suggests Spencer. "Some cows can handle a lot of grain, some can't" Protein is important, too, So are ration "extras," Spencer always feeds iodized salt, because he's in a goiter region, Lueder makes regular use of a mixture containing trace minerals. He also feeds a multiple vitamin preparation. Vitamin D is especially necessary in winter, when cows don't get much sunshine, It helps them assimilate calcium and phos- phorus.
