10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, November 5, 1964 EX-COLLEGE GRIDDER Feels Racial Prejudice Eliminated With Sports By BOB TRIMBEE EDMONTON (CP) -- "Sports are the best means I know to eliminate racial prejudice," says David Ward, a handsome 28-year-old public relations of- ficer who has known and felt the sting of intolerance. "No matter what some scep- tics might say, international compeitions such as the Olym- ic Games do much to create fnternational good will. "Among competitors there is seldom racial intolerance. There is no breakdown between rich and poor. The superior ath- lete respects those he has beaten because he knows his opponent has put out the best he can.... "As a child I could never un- derstand why, because I was part Eskimo, Iwas the object of abuse. The beatings I took and the ridicule directed my way soon turned my feeling of frustration to bitterness. "Sports gave me something else to concentrate upon and) took me away from the idle life; where people have nothing to do} but think about skin colors and) turned professional and won the | prejudice," Ward and his family moved to Edmonton. from. Chesterfield Inlet, N.W.T., 26 years ago. He graduated from high school here and later attended univer- sity in Louisiana and the state of Washington. He now is em- ployed by the Credit Bureau of Edmonton. FOUGHT BULLY ' The problems of racial intol- erance forced Ward into sports. 'One day a boy among @ group bullying him in a schoolyard be- | cause of his Eskimo background | challenged him to a boxing) match. "T knew nothing about boxing, | but when I started to refuse the challenge the boy's older! brother stepped forward and/| said it was either the ring or a) beating in the schoolyard. | SPORTS BRIEFS PLACED ON WAIVERS | MONTREAL (CP). -- Mont-| real Alouettes placed guard Bob | LeBlanc on waivers Thursday | and removed tackle Dick Dal-| atri from the injury list.

(AP)--Thirty- | "T figured it was easier to take a beating in the ring from the younger brother, so 1 agreed. I don't remember too much about the fight because I was so scared. But I knocked my opponent down, and the box- ing coach who refereed the match asked me to turn out with the club. "T learned quickly and won at least surface acceptance from schoolmates. 'Phey didn't bother me and I didn't associate with them." In the years that, followed Ward won numerous titles, At Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., he was cap- tain of the boxing team and from 1960 to 1962 holder of the Pacific Northwest middleweight crown, At Northwestern State in Natchitoches, La, he won the Southern Amateur Athletic Un- ion light-heavyweight title In 92 fights Ward lost only five, and two of the defeats Were at the hands of* Wilf Greaves of Edmonton who later British Empire middleweight championship.

"I didn't know until I tried. out with Eskimos again in 1962 that I was wearing my pads back- wards. I guess no one ever thought I needed help learning how to wear pads proper!y."" TORE TENDON Ward's football career ended in 1962 when he tore an achilles football with a number of Eski- mos, It hasn't bothered his boxing. tendon during a game of tough weight crown. He was sus- pended but later reinstated. After the 1964 Olympic box- ing trials, Ward criticized am- ateur officials for the method used to select team members. "Sure I was bitter about fail- ing to make the team on my second try, but I was just as bitter about guys like Ted Bil- lingsley being left off." -Billingsley, an Edmonton fighter who has won 300 of 320 amateur bouts, was named an alternate.
