"ti Vas SPORT FROM BRITAIN Pirie's Career As Pro Likely To Be Failure LONDON (CP) -- Gordon Pirie's decision to quit the am- ateur ranks has raised an old question. Can professional run- ning be a paying game? Pirie, formerly Britain's top distance star, got off on the right foot last month by circling a San Sebastian bullring 100 times. Those who watched him toiling in the hot afternoon sun thought he earned the £1,000 fee put up by local bookmakers. But there are plenty of scep- ties, particularly in amateur circles, who say his venture is doomed to failure--and history supports them.

Pro running in Britain has often been accused of crooked- ness, reports having it that bookmakers sometimes make it more profitable for the athlete to lose than to win. The Austral- ians claim to have eradicated crookedness by enforcing strict rules. PIRIE OPTIMISTIC Pirie's optimism has not been blunted by the pessimists.

He says: 'Jolly good luck to them .. . Whether they suc. ceed is a different matter." The last word goes to Pirie: "T'd like to see it work if only for the reason of showing up the stupid set-up called amateur athletics."

The Shamrocks built up a comfortable 6-3 two - period lead, then hung on desperatley for a 7-6 victory last night in Port Hope. The Shamrocks led 3-2 after twenty minutes of play, then outscored the Ontarios 3-1 in the middle session and appeared on their way to a decisive verdict. Bur Port Hope turned on the steam in the final period to close the gap to a one-goal difference. They went all out, in vain, to gain the equalizer in the dying minutes of the game. Mort Richards, with a pair was the scoring leader for Bow- manville. Single goals were ac- counted for by Bob Fairey, Chuck Kilpatrick, Bob Majer- rison, Jim Olinski and Terry Masters. Defenceman Ray Pres- ton, former Junior "A" player with Galt had three assists. For the Port Hope club, Bob Weiss registered the hat trick, getting two in the first period. Paul Wakely, Bob Lax, and George Fenton completed the Ontario's scoring. BRIEFLY: A good turnout-- 400 were on hand for another rough tilt, with 17 minor penal- ties being assessed.

Vancouver Track Coach Says More Money Needed EDMONTON (CP)--The fed-|specialists each summer to tour eral government will have to|Canada, teaching coaches and spend much more than $5,000,000 if it is seriously considering plans to improve the physical fitness of Canadians in amateur sport, says Lloyd Swindells. Swindells, veteran Vancouver track and field coach, said the government's plan to set up an advisory council to initiate pro- grams with this aim "is a good start, but I don't believe they yet realize how much it will In track and field alone it would take about $2,000,000 a year to establish a sound de- velopment program. And no matter how much money was spent, the program would take a few years to develop. Coaches and volunteers would be needed before athletes could advance. NEED SPECIALISTS "We now have 60,000 kids un- der high school graduating age taking part in track and field," Swindells said in an interview. "With dynamic leadership we could lift this to 150,000 in the first year and increase it an-| ually from there. | | giving practical assistance to athletes.

It would take at least a genera- tion to develop fan support and interest to the level of the U.S. and some European countries. "Only then can we begin to expect amateur sports to meet its financial needs without help." Let's face it. There are thousands of men who are worth more money than they make--and their employers would readily admit it! But their hands are tied, because they can only pay what the job is worth.

LACK FUNDS Swindells said universities now have many men who could do great work with Canadian athletes but "'they are stymied by lack of funds and facilities." "They need bursaries, schol- arships and student loans to help them attract athletes seek- ing to further their athletic and educational skills."
