'Speedskating Coach Has High Hopes For Next Olympic Team By WALTER KREVENCHUK EDMONTON (CP)--Ralf Olin, three - time member of Can- ada's Olympic speedskating team, has dreamed for 10 years of putting Canadian skaters in the top ranks. In the fall of 1960 Alberta speedskaters started a crash program aimed at raising Can- ada to world calibre. The fol- lowing year the Canadian Ama- teur Spedskating Association recognized Olin's efforts by forming a Committee for Olym- pic Development. The chair- man: Ralf Olin. In the eight winter Olympics held so far, Canada hasn't won a gold medal in speedskating. Norway and the Soviet Union have had the greatest success, Norway winning 13 and Russia six in senior men's competition. Taking a cue from success, Alberta skaters have instituted a training program that com- bines Norwegian and~ Russian practices. The instructor is Olin, who spent a year in Norway and Sweden under guidance of experts. YEAR-ROUND EFFORT "You have to dedicate a por- tion of your life to it," says Olin. 'You have to live and breathe speedskating to be great in it." Alberta skaters are doing just that. When ice is available 65 skaters devote every spare mo- ment to skating sessions, aver- aging two to four hours a week. Skaters from Edmonton and} Calgary hold weekly competi-| tions under international skat- ing rules. This involves racing against the clock rather than the mass - start racing used in Canada in previous years. Out of season the skaters keep in trim with weight - lifting, 20-, mile cross-country hikes and) cycling. In efforts to increase the pooianty of speedskating to vels it enjoys in Europe, cggarwts SPEEDSKATING INSTRUCTOR RALF OLIN program of medals and badges for young skaters. MORE SKATERS NEEDED "We need more skaters," Olin says. 'In Russia about 250,000 persons participate in the sport and in 1960 Sweden had almost 15,000 new speedskaters." Next year the Olympic De- velopment Committee hopes to |send representatives to the | world speedskating events in Europe. "Money is a problem here where Olin says crowds of 80,-| but somehow we will send a few 000 watch the sport, the CASA|s katers over there. You can Carway Carway Imperials but as usual, the opposition was just that much better. Carway had 6354 for two points and Darrigo Foods had a sensational 6806, with a terrific 1575 single. Bowling without the services of their top shooter J. Cassells, Carway had their best day this year, Carway started badly the first game, they had 1050 with J. Brown, the big man with 263, and Darrugo had 1242, Longa- rini 289 and Falcioni 296 high. The second game saw both teams start hitting early and it was a ding-dong battle with Carway coming out on top of rithis one 1354 to 1321. McMas- ter 355 and Olliffe 330 were the big men along with Hickey's 280. For Darrigo, it was Pao- lone 321, Falcioni 276 and Ter- minesi 272. The third game was another good one up until the ninthj. frame, then Carway had head- pin trouble and they lost 1238 : |to 1369. For Carway, G.

Canadian Golf Pros Find Winter's Work With Florida Clubs FORT LAUNDERDALE, Fia. (CP)--Jim Swarbrick, golf pro at the Marlborough club in Montreal, stepped under the shade of a palm tree, mopped his brow and smiled sadly. Jim had just given a golf lesson to a pudgy, rotund dow- ager who persisted in doing everything wrong. Swarbrick is one of a half- dozen Canadian pros and as- sistant pros who work during the winter season in the Fort Lauderdale area. Many others come down this way for winter vacations and to polish up their games while their home courses are buried under snow. Swarbrick is the teaching pro at the Dania club, hard by Fort Lauderdale. Associated with him is Stan Baird, pro at Mont- real's Kanawaki club, who op- erates the Dania pro shop. About the time Swarbrick had recovered from his teaching les- son with the flustered: woman golfer, Ken Clark was starting an instruction period at the Plantation club, several miles away. It was evident Ken would have more success with his male student. NOT STRANGERS Clark is pro at The Ottawa Hunt Club and, like Swarbrick and most of the others, has been coming to this area for a num- ber of years. "The big difference I've found | is in put- "There is a different grass on} the greens here. It is a type of| winter grass that is sowed in|who have visited the Fort Lau- and is grainier. You'll find that!derdale district are Bob Dean, in putting against the grain the jball is more likely to bobble. "The fairways, however, are much the same as we have them at home."' Two assistant pros from Mont- real also work at the Dania club. They are Doug Dalziel, Swarbrick's assistant at Marl- borough, and Johnny Thomson, assistant to Red McKenzie at Montreal Elm Ridge. In addition, a visitor at Dania was Tony Passerby, young pro at Montreal's LaSalle club, for- mer home course of Stan Baird. The working Canadian pros said they are kept busy now, at the height of the winter sea- son, because of the heavy in- flux of winter residents and tourists from the north. It seems that anybody who has ever swung a club wants to get out and take a fling at the Flor- ida courses. SURPRISES CHILDREN Stan Kolar, pro at Ottawa's Chaudiere club, was busy sharp- ening up his putting on the Dania putting green. "It's sure great down here," said Kolar.

He just can't understand why there isn't a lot of snow all around." Among other Canadian pros Cornwall, Ont.; Muskoka Lakes, Ont.; Andy Cazies, Levis, Que.; Bill Kerr, Montreal Beaconsfield; Ben Mc- Callum, Montreal Country Club, St. Lambert; Buddy Clark, brother of Ken, pro at Montreal Cedarbrooke; Eddie Dunn, Ot- tawa Gatineau, and Carl Tossi, assistant to Baird at Kanawaki. Jules Huot, veteran pro at the Laval-sur-le-lac club near Mont- real, where the 1962 Canadian Open will be held in July, was reported by Swarbrick to be working this winter at a swanky hotel's course in Bermuda. Swarbrick said also he had heard that Stan Horne, pro at Montreal Islesmere, will be at Delray Beach, up the Florida east coast. Ken Clark said several Cana- dian pros are working at or vis- iting clubs on Florida's gulf coast, in the Clearwater area about 250 miles from Fort Lau- derdale. Among this contingent are Murray Tucker, Rosedale; Larry Edwards. Tor- onto Lakeside; Frank Mann, Toronto Ladies. and veteran |Jim Patton, Seigniory Club, Que. Larry Adsted, SPORT FROM BRITAIN Darts Taking Over As National Sport? LONDON (CP) -- Television sets in the pubs are being switched off this month while attention shifts to the darts board. The organized darts season is in full swing, with more than 4,000,000 competitive players working their way through lo- cal, district and regional tourna- ments towards the national fi- nals. Darts, the most popular in- door game in Britain, evolved from archery, and in its present form dates from the 16th cen- tury. Records show there was a darts board dangling in the Mayflower when the Pilgrim Fathers set sail in 1620. ' It is thought the archers} themselves first developed darts as a short-range defensive weapon, comparing with the long-bow much as a pistol com- pares with a rifle. STRICT REGULATIONS The darts game now has been regulations say the thrower's| toe must be seven feet, inches from the board, and the bull's eye must be five feet, eight inches from the floor. six The size of the board, th width of its 20 radical divisions and the distance between the double and treble rings are pre- cisely laid down. In the stand- ard game each team or individ- ual starts with 301 points and works down. A double is needed! to 'get off" and to finish. Although the game savors of rigid conformity at the top, the whole organization rests at bot- tom on the free-and-easy atmos- phere of the nation's 65,000 pub- lic houses.

Carway were down 3-to-1 go- ing into the last one but they were determined to get two Of Darrigo Foods Saturday at.

Although Terminesi has a 408 this game, to knock off the high-five in' the league, which Bill Hoult had rolled against Carway earlier this section (1532). Terminesi rolled 1599, which is a terrific five-game effort for an individual man. Carway still maintain the good fellowship because all rants are made or broken, while the teams are bowling against the Carway boys. Individual scores were good! on the day, In the absence of J. Cassells, G. Brown took over and led the team with a 1367 for the day. His first two games were a little off color and then he settled away to throw 309, 346, 318 for 973 total for the last three; McMaster 200, 355, 233, 236, 281 for 1305 for 50 frames; Hickey bowling) in clean-up, did a very good job--223, 280, 259, 214, 278 for 1254 for 50 frames; Olliffe's one bad game was 152 with head pins, 330, 206, 259, 253 for 1200 for 50 frames; J. Brown 263, 207, 113, 247, 280 for 1110 'or 47 frames; Reynolds 118 for 3 frames with a 6354 total and points. Darrigo's scores were: minesi 239, 272, 313, 367, 408) for 1599, for 50 frames; 'Pao,_| garini 1263 and Falcioni 1239, for 6806 total and 3 points. Next week, Carway go to Ace Bowling, to take on Billy Bee Honey and now it becomes "a must" to take four or five to stay in contention, as they are four points off the pace now, with five weeks to go. Acadian Win Fou The Toronto City Major five- pin action was at Motor City Lanes on Saturday and it was a crucial day for the Oshawa Cleaners, with both well up in the standing. Going into Sat- urday's play Sterlings led the loop with a three-point edge must, win-or-else, for the Cleaners. Acadians tangled with O'Con- nor Bowl and the first game went to O'Connor with 1044 to 1029 for Acadian. Both clubs were away below par. Acadians saw Lloyd Sabins set a terrific pace in leadoff with six-straight strikes and his mates followed suit. The result was the highest game of the season, a total of 1587 by Hank Sarnovsky 349; Lloyd Sabins 341; Bob Gal- lagher 310; Dick Adams 300 and Ozzie Keeler 288. were away behind with a 1085) score. Acadians kept up the torrid with 1357 to 1227 for 0'Connor Hank Sarnovsky had 329; Lloyd Sabins 272; Dick Adams 261; Ozzie Keeler 256 and Bob Gal- lagher 239.

Closs opened the scoring for the winners and Sargant and regen came back to make it 2-1 for the Local 2028 team but Ken Connérs took only 45 sec- onds to put the Electricians back on even terms and for Connors, it was the start of a big night. In all he scored: four goals, including the clincher, in an empty net, in the final min- ute of play, when Local 2028 pulled their goalie to try and cash in with an extra forward. Manilla and Zedic matched goals to make it 3-3, then Pru- sinski put Electricians ahead again but Jones made it 4-4, then just before the half-time whistle, Connors got his second} goal, for a 5-4 lead.

Only one British team, th« league champion Tottenham Hotspurs, are still in the run ning with an excellent chance of going into the semi-fina' round, Glasgow Rangers are out! Playing at Liege, they were beaten by Standard by 41. In the second leg match in Glas- gow, Rangers were on the at- tack for 80 of the 90 minutes, while the Belgians played a packed defence game to hold their three-goal lead. Rangers won 2-0, one goal short of even- ing up the series, and so say "goodbye" to European Cup hopes for another season. One unlucky -- circumstance hurt the Rangers' chances. Henderson, their star outside right, was caught in the traffic jam on the way to the ground, and reached there after the game was under way. Scott had to go in as substitute on a minute's notice, but had a very poor game, and Henderson's speed and skill were sorely missed, MAGNIFICENT SPURS Playing at Prague against the Czech champions Dukla, Tottenham Hotspurs played to a strong defensive plan devised by their wily manager, Bill Nicholson. Danny Blanchflower vas marked for the inside left osition, but the team played ith three backs, three half- vacks and four forwards. Their iope was to keep Dukla 'off he score sheet, so that Spurs ould play for a win on their . ywn ground in London on Feb- vary 26. Spurs. played magnificently, and while they lost by the only zoal of the game, it was a real triumph for them. The six-man defence held the skilful Dukla forwards--every man an Inter- national--at ' bay through a gruelling game on a_ snow- vovered pitch. Spurs left the field bursting with confidence that in the second leg match at White Hart Lane, they can re- turn to their normal attacking game, and win their way into the semi-final. REAL MADRID WIN Another top-notch game was that between Real Madrid, Spanish title holders, and Ju- ventus, Italian champions, played at Turin. Real Madrid won a close and exciting game by 1-0, but. as the second leg will be played on their own ground, Juventus have a tough task ahead of them to over- come that one-goal margin. Hero of the match was John Charles, Welsh International, who played at centre-half, and kept the fabulous Di Stefano well away from the Juventus goal except for the one occa- sion on which he scored. In the other semi-final, Nu- remberg, of Germany, won by 3-1 over the cupholders, Ben- fica of Portugal, at Nurem- berg, and looked good enough to hold that lead in the second jeg at Lisbon. UNFERMLINE STILL IN Dunfermline, © Scottish Cup holders, are still in with a chance to move into the semi- finals of the European Cup Winners competition. Playing in Budapest, they lost 4-3 to Dozsa Ujpest, after being up by 2-0 in the first seven minutes. A penalty to Dozsa gave them the one-goal margin. But the Scottish team have a great chance of overcoming that one- goal lead when the second leg game. is played on_ their pround. They had the best of the play at Budapest, and were unlucky to lose. COMING TO LONDON Real Madrid, the Spanish team of all talents, will play its first-ever game in London on April 11. But they will not be playing against any of the top-ranking British teams. They will be playing at Selhurst Park, against third division Crystal Palace, to mark the turning on of a new floodlight- ing system there. Crystal Pal- ace had to give the Spaniards a guarantee of $32,000 for this match, but they will be able to play before a capacity crowd at enhanced admission prices, and could make a nice Profit from the game.
