Time 'To Get Started On Preparations For Olympics by Elmer Ferguson ® The O already giv out the wor the threat of Russia's governmental mass development and subsidization of ath- letes, And we urge this is the time, in Canada as else here, for action. The British Empire, the United States, among the free countries of the world in which sport flourishes as a natural, and not a forced growth, and all others in the same happy category, should be deeply concerned. Surely the democra. cies, Canada included, must send every aualified athlete -to have a chance to match Russia. ympic Games of - 1956 are need money to send athletes, b we need athletes to send. Time is short. Men not in training will need to start an intelligent workout program and campaign immediately to have any chance of being worth anything in Olympic competition, ; If we don't get a program going, we'll' have few, if ready in 1956, And those won't be prepared to compete in November which is normally out of season This is something the Amateur Athletic Union should take up immediately, in a practical way, with practical men at the head of the organization, interested in development of our athletes through the medium of competition, only way -- competition based on efficient modern scientific We have at least one great 1500 metre prospect. Rich We have some fine boxers and wrestlers, excellent swimmers, both boys and girls. Just what we have in Canada we'll never know until a better degree of competition is Our hockey supremacy is no longer a matter to be taken for granted. There is ample material, but a high degree of selectivity must be exercised here. field, swimming, gymnastics and the like, we believe that a series of Olympic preparatory tests and meets, with govern- ment financing in part, could develop a few athletes worthy to carry Canada's colours, and compete with the best, cause "for worry through- democracies, raised by Iready men not interested in petty This is the For other "events, track- Within the huge walled for- : tress . of legend-haunted Dublin Castle a sallow-faced whistling ghost has been seen prowling after midnight. : So says ex-detective Patrick Kenny, who until recently did 'tat the castle, and there are . four other people who testify to the eerie story.: "I am not given to imagina- " tion," says Mr. Kenny. "I spent more than 30 years in the Force. I used to walk around at night, sometimes by the old dungeons, but after seeing what I did, I wouldn't walk around there at night if I had a searchlight to guide me. i "Some time ago, at half-past -- one in the morning. 1 went from my office, down a long corridor, ~ PARKED CARS SEPTEMBER SAFETY--This draw- Ing won first prize as the Sep- tember safety poster in. the American - Automobile Associ- ation's nationwide contest for 1955-56 school safety posters.

"I was only there a minute when I heard a most beautiful whistling. There were no pauses for breath, and whoever or what- ever was doing it was whistling a traditional Irish melody. "I asked the only other man .n the: kitchen: 'What's that? Who's -whistling?" He replied: 'Don't pay too uch attention. It's been heard before.' "Suddenly the. whistle went from one completely empty cor- ner to a spot 20 feet high up on the walls. Then a remarkable thing happened. Outside the kitchen window I saw the head and shoulders of a figure go by. "The face was sallow, and the head seemed to be covered with thin black hair. Although it wag dead quiet at that time of night, |. I heard not a single footstep The face scemed to be that of a per- son about 40 years old. "I returned to the office, and half an hour later the whistling began again -- right in the office, Nobody had come in with me, and three other people present all heard the whistling" . Mr. Kenny-is quite sure it was not someone playing a joke. The whistling was heard again on the following two nights, still very sweet but frightening. Mr. Kenny said: "What I ex- perienced was definitely beyond ordinary explanation." : LENGTHY VISIT Mrs. Fuller Fooshe, of St. Louis had a peeve, which she eventu- ally brought before the court.

Getting the ball away to complete the twin It Isn't Soccer Just Plain Murder Sydney Brewer is a famous English. football referee, just back home from a couple of seasons in South America. Now in "The People", he takes the lid off the game &s it is played out there. * "" » How much longer is the Foot- ball Association going to en- courage English referees to go out to South America to take charge of football matches? If I were Sir Stanley Rous I should firmly turn down every request that comes in future from that part of the world. I say that from experience, for I have been one of the mugs. And they caught me twice. I have spent two seasons out there, one in.Colombia and an- other Uruguay, and I' have to report that in these countries-- as in the whole of South Amer- ica--football isn't a sport. It's a cross between bull- fighting and a local war. With the poor old. referee a sort of ""Aunt Sally in' the middle. of it. The job is so downright dan- gerous that I would recommend any British -referce who is thinking of taking a season's engagement out there either to forget about it or to buy him- self a bullet-proof waistcoat "and a cosh. You. will, T know, find the stories I am going to tell about matches out there almost in- credible. But I shan't be telling Sir Stanley Rous anything he doesn't know. "ig He has had reports on condi- tions out there from me dnd from other English referees that must have made his hair sizzle. Let's start with football as it is played in Colombia. Well, it isn't played at all. It's fought. It is meant to be. For the game was organized by the Government to take the public's mind off politics and revolutions. All it has done is to transfer the bloodshed from the market-place to the football pitch. ' So the poor old English re- feree is right in the. firing-line. One indiscreet blow of his whistle and he can start off a war, Although I am now back home_in my. little shop at. Salis- bury, I shudder every time I re- call a match 1 referced last January in Uruguay. It was the needle niatch of the season between clubs who are deadly rivals, Nacional and Penarol. - There "was 'an enormous crowd, and I sensed the atmos- + rR = 'B-A-A-A-D DOGGIE-A playful cocker s ber of a rodeo troupe and the pooch bit of headwork. paniel really got Billy the Kid'a goat.

With only two the score was even, and 1 began to feel I might' get out of the arena alive. Then, in the last two min- utes, a Nacional player com- mitted a particularly dirty foul. I could not overlook it. While the cfowd "held its breath I awarded Penarol--the visiting side--a free kick just outside the penalty area. The kick was taken; the ball hit a post, rebounded, and quick as a flash it was slammed into - the net by a Penarol forward. Naturally 1 gave a goal--=and then the balloon went up! Screams rose all around 'me; but then I realized 1 for once--the crowd's hatred. It seemed that a linesman had started to wave his flag for an infringement on his side of the ground, then, as. the ball went into the. net, had dropped his victim of the flag again and: agreed with my . goal decision. Over the line poured a gang of hotheads. They made straight for the linesman, and if the po-- lice hadn't formed a cordon .around him he might have end- ed in hospital. To settle the dispute, I man- aged to get to him to ask whether he had flagged for an infringement. He said he hadn't --so0 the hullabaloo went from bad to worse. -1 sat down to wait for peace to be restored, then 1 spotted an angry group making towards me. They= were led by one of the -officials of the Nacional Club. Once again the police pounced and the gallant official and his friends" were dragged off the field by force. - After seven minutes 1 man- aged to get play started again, and this time it was ended -- with a victory for the visitors. More yelling . and then Caballo, centre - half of then Nocinal team, made straight for me, grabbed by face in his hands and hissed "Hijo de puta" at me. "That is one of the deadliest insults in the Spanish language, but, to save another scene, I had to take it. My only redress was to write to the Uruguay Football Asso- ciation urging that drastic ac- tion should be taken against the Nacional Club. Of course, nothing happened. Uruguay likes a little spice with its football, and,,if..ah English referee is knocked out -- well, it's all in the game! : And things are even .worse, if anything,\ in Colombia, where 1 spent the season before last, This is the country that has such clubs as Bogota, Sante Fe and the Millionarios, teams that have tempted several of our players to join them, with un- happy results.

Then, Medellin attacked ahd. - a forward whipped the ball into goal, One of the home gbacks . pushed out a leg, and hooked the ball away--but it was quite obvious to me that it had cross- ed-the line first. i I gave Medellin a goal--and then all héll was let loose. The Cuenta players rushed at me, shouting with rage. They pushed, punched and then kick- ed me. as I lay flat on my back. And; in the background, 1 saw the Medellin players who had got the goal. 1 hoped they might come to my rescue. Not a bit of it. They just stood around grinning at me. - The next thing I know I was being dragged to my' feet and carted towards a linesman. "Ask _him!" yelled the Cuenta players. I did. "Goal," said the linesman --and then he sprinted as hard as he could for the dressing- room! As 1 was cut and bruised I refused .to let the game con- tinue. So then the Cuenta boys all spat at me--and 'I was left to crawl off the ground. I was too badly injured to walk, yet nobody stirred a fin- ger to help me. When I got a doctor, he ordered me to bed.
