16 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, December 14, 1961 Canada Olympic Assoc. Takes Realistic View By hag: take SULLIVAN Sports WES The ce Olympic Asso- ciation has operated like a women's sewing circle at times in the past. But now it deserves a pat on the back. Instead of hopping on the bandwagon for a good slice of the government's $5,000,000 - a- year aid to amateur sport--as many people thought it might do--it has issued a stern warn- ing to sports bodies to get crack- ing or miss the boat on Olym- pic Games jaunts. REMEMBER WHEN .. « By THE CANADIAN PRESS Max Baer and his brother, Buddy, enlisted in the US. Air Force 19 years ago today. Max, who died in 1959, had won the world heavyweight title from Primo Carnera in 1934 and lost it to Jimmy Braddock a year later Buddy twice tried unsuc- cessfully for the title, losing to champion Joe Louis in 1941 and 1942 SPORTS BRIEFS MAY MISS BIG GAME PALO ALTO, Calif.

STOREY TO REFEREE QUEBEC (CP) -- Red Storey | of Montreal, former National Heckey League referee, will act as referee-in-chief for the week- long international pee wee ho-| ckey tournament to be held in} There is evidence that the COA no longer is a group of fuddy - duddies who emerge every four years to organize safaris of athletes who haven't a hope of getting here in Olympie competitidn. The COA has taken a hard look at re- sults of Olympic Games since the Second World War and de- cided, on a provisional basis, to lop the basketball, cy cling, fencing and gymnastic teams from Canada's national team. ONLY THZ BEST At first glance, this appears to be a backward step, particu- larly when the federal govern- ment said its money would be devoted exclusively to amateur sports to emphasize physical fitness, But COA president Jim Worrall of Toronto has a ready answer, "Amateur sports governing bodies now must realize that if they are going to represent Canada at the Olympics, stand- ards have to be improved all around." In other words, Wor- rall says to start preparing now for the 1964 Games in Tokyo and if young Canadian athletes tional calibre, they'll go to Ja- pan. If not, they can stay at home. It makes sense, Since 1948, Canadian Olympic teams have been overloaded with athletes who knew they'd be lucky if they survived preliminary rounds in most sports on the program. The latest decision on the basketball, cycling, fencing and gymnastics teams is long over- due. OUSTED EARLY Last year at Rome, the bas- ketball team didn't even make it to the opening ceremonies, They were knocked out in pre- liminaries held for the first time pr'or to the Games, Can- ada won a second-place silver medal : this sport when it was introduced to the Olympics in 1936 but in each successive games -- 1948, 1952 and 1956-- Canada finished ninth. Canadian cyclists and fencers never have reached the finals and the gymnasts have finished as low as 120th in individual in the history of the Olympics. It won one medal--a second- place silver by the University of British Columbia eight - oared, crew -- and finished 26th in the unofficial point standing with 16 points based on the compilation of 10-5-4-3-2-1 for the first six places in each event. The COA remembered this when it sat down to assess the country's 1964 chances. Worrall and his associates probably will be the targets for criticism, but they have facts and figures to C8 rege ee Colts' Veteran Figures Game Is 1 Too Rough , Calif.
