Five weeks after the Olympics it was learned Kidd had competed in Europe and North America for two years with pulled tendons in both ankles and an ailment in his left foot which required corrective surgefy. The CP poll voters noted this and a few of the 74 who jotted Kidd's name down in the dis- appointment list added this foot- note: "Poor guy." Four years ago world track' experts said Kidd had the po- tential to become the greatest distance runner in the world. He justified their confidence with a gold medal in the six miles and a third-place bronze in the three--accomplished in a space of 49 hours--at the 1962 British Empire Games at Perth, Australia. Now, with help from surgery, Kidd is looking forward to rep- resenting Canada at the 1966 B.E. Games in Jamaica, the 1967 Pan-American Games at Winnipeg and the Olympics in Mexico City in 1968.

By BEN OLAN NEW YORK (AP) -- Bobby Hull's assault on the 50-goals scoring record has been the highlight of the first half of the 1964-65 National Hockey League season. How come the dynamic left- winger with Chicago Black Hawks is moving at an unprece- dented pace? Is he ready to join Gordie Howe of Detroit Red Wings, Maurice Richard, for- mer Montreal Canadiens star, and others among the all-time greats? A survey of opposing players and coaches unveiled these ob- servations: "Hull's slap shots from the blueline and even from a bad angle are more accurate this season," says veteran Toronto Maple Leaf goaltender Johnny Bower. 'The power he gets be- hind his shots is remarkable. He has developed a good shift com- ing in and he gets the goalie to make the first move." Leo Boivin of: Boston Bruins, rated one of the NHL's hardest body-checkers, says Hull is "the strongest forward in the league. You have to try to get him over to the boards, but that isn't easy. He's like a bull." "This season, Hull is coming down dead centre more," says Jacques Plante, New York Rangers' goalie and a six-time Vezina Trophy winner. "That gives him more of the net to shoot at. I used to be able to protect the angle on him. TRAILS PLAY MORE "He trails the play a more. His linemates set him up and he picks up the puck with Remember When? ...

He'll beat you unless you stay right on top of him and this year it's been harder to do that." Going into the Hawks' only weekend game--against Cana- diens in Chicago Sunday night-- Hull had amassed 31 goals in 34 games. Hull, 25, is in his eignitn NHL campaign.'

"Bobby is more advanced than either Howe or Richard at a comparable age. He just plays all out every minute he's on the ice." 'Weekend Snow Improves Skiing TORONTO (CP) --.
