"But it didn't come from my ability--most of it came be- cause I'm just too stubborn to know when to quit." But Arleigh has quit, twice. "] was out of racing for 38 years. I raced from 1918 to 1921 then quit until 1959." The second time he quit, it was because he lost his com- petition licence after a medical. "The doctor said I was 25 pounds overweight and my blopd pressure wag too high." LOST WEIGHT He sold his Lotus 1,100, a car which looked like a roller skate covered. with molten cheese, and sat out one season, He couldn't stand it. So he shed the 25 pounds and bought the Cooper--one of the fastest cats on the 1.8-mile circuit-- and went out again after the F checkered flag. "It's a good thing I lost the weight," he says. never have made it into the Cooper's wra cockpit otherwise. How long does he intend to ~ continue racing? He would © "As long as they'll let me.)

He drives at 100-miles-an- / hour-plus with thin-soled bowl- ing shoes on bis tiny feet. His dark green racing goggles are ground to his prescription. He's a diesel engineer, now semi-retired, and has used his knowledge of engineering and racing to build three competi- tion cars. He helped lay out the track he races over and says it's "a perfect course--feather- bed smooth." STOLE CAR He has come millions of miles from Orillia, Ont., where he was born--much of it at speeds some men never reach. Arleigh Pilkey is doing what! he wants to do and, since his STILL RACING AT 6 -- Arleigh Pilkey rolls into the pits after a run in the rain at Westwood sports car circuit wife died two years ago, there is no one to worry about him It all began for Arleigh in 1906 when, at the age of nine, he and some other kids stole a car.

He has also driven dirt-track racers, hot rods and sports cats For him, it's a good life. He moves freely wherever he wants to go and his hawk-like face--lined with wrinkles right up to the thinning grey hair on 40 miles east of Vancouver. Born 66 years ago in Orillia, Ont., Pilkey has been involved with cars one way or another jtop of his head--is deeply, ee by sun and wind. He won't go near a doctor) except for racing check-ups and says "I'd never have known about my blood-pressure" if it hadn't been for racing. NOT AFRAID "Now the doc says I'm as good as new and I'm racing again. "Mind you, I might go out tomorrow and kill myself on the track, but who cares?" He doesn't believe he'll die at the wheel. "T have a sort of safety valve that won't let me drive beyond where I'm happy." since he was nine years old and plans to continue racing "as long as they'll let me." --(CP Photo) Is age beginning to slow him down? "My best year was in 1961. I won three modified-class cham- pionships and came second in the fourth." He isn't certain why he races except "I just love getting out there on the track with some good competition. I like cars all around me." "You know, no one should ever feel sorry for a guy who falls down a mountain or dies parachuting or in a race car. "Those guys are doing what they want. They know they're taking risks and that's what they enjoy."

GORDIE WILL NEW YORK (AP) -- How many goals will Gordie Howe score and how ivng will he pwd in the National Hockey gue? "He'll play five more years and wind up wiih at least 700 goals," predicts general man- ager Muzz Patrick of New York Rangers, who open their home season ivmen! against Howe and the Detroit Red Wings in Madison Square Gar- den. Howe, 35 - year - old right- winger, needs only two more goals to break the NHL ca- reer record (excluding play- offs) of 544 held by Maurice (Rocket) Richard, the former Montreal Cenadiens' star. The Rocket retired three years ago at age 39. "There's no doubt that Howe is the greatest player in the history of the game," said Patrick, who jcined the Rang- MUZZ PATRICK PREDICTS SCORE 700 ers as a player in 1937, "'He's already scored three times in two gales, so it looks as though he's going to have an- other outstanding season." WON'T AFFECT HIM Howe suffered a cut right ankle in practice Tuesday. But a Red Wings' spokesman said the injury probably would not hamper his play against the Rangers tonight. "In any situation, offensiv- ely or defensively, Gordie is just the best there is," Pat- rick said. "Richard was an. explosive and exciting player. But he couldn't hold a candle to Howe defensively. I'd rate Bill Cook on a par with the Rocket. Bill is about the only oldtimer I can think of who could hold his own in the mod- ern era of hockey." Bill Cook played for Rangers of the mid 1920s.

English league teams, had plen- English league teams, hadplen- ty of skill but no fight, and the Irishmen tore into them and killed their chances of demon- strating their technical super- fority. Billy Bingham, captaining the Irish team for the first time, scored the goal that put Ireland ahead, and his team-mates re- sponded by wrecking the Scot- tish hopes for the easy victory that had been predicted for them, It was Scotland's first de- feat in a home country interna- tional for three seasons. At the same time, England, at Cardiff were beating Wales by 4-0, in a game which was muc> closer than the score indicates. The Tottenham goal - scoring pair, Greaves and Smith, how- ever, provided the opportunism that gave England this clear-cut victory. Bobby Charlton scored England's fourth goal to give him a new record for goals scored in international games. He has now scored 31 interna- tional goals, one more than Nat Lo'thouse and Tom Finnen, who previously held the record. Six teams are tied for the top spot in the English first divi- sion, with 17 points each. Two how close the race is| for the 1963-64 championship. Ahead on * ¢ Manchester Tottenham, Blackburn, Not- tingham Forest, Sheffield Unit- ed and West Bromwich Albion. But Tottenham, with 11 games played, have the edge on the others, as Manchester United, and Sheffield have played 12 games, and the other three clubs 13 games each, Arsenal and Burnley are the two clubs on the 16 mark. Arsenal's next! game is with Tottenham, and that might well send the Gun- ners to the top of the table, a spot they have not occupied for several years, A win over Spurs could do the trick. OTHER DIVISIONS Leeds United top the second division, one point of ahead Swindon and Sunderland. Swin-|t don, who started off the sea- son brilliantly, are showing signs of fading, so the battle may eventually be between Leeds and Sunderland. Coventry have a two point 'ead over Crystal Palace and Oldham in the third division, and Jimmy Hill's team look like staying on top if they main- tain their present winning form.

"Like a king he was treated. He scored a hat trick and he gets a bicycle. I get a shut- out, I get a bicycle. "Pretty soon Jean gets more hat-tricks, he gets a car. I get some more shutouts, I get another bicycle. "And clothes! Jean spent one hour signing hockey sticks, he gets a full ward- robe. Heck, he even smiled-- and someone gave him a shirt. "And those shirts! He never sent them to a laundry, He just threw them aside and put on a new one. "I picked up those shirts one time. Twenty-one shirts!" Beliveau went on to become a star centre with Montreal Canadiens, Paille was picked up by the New York Rangers organization. and spent most of the last seven years as second-string for Gump Wors- ley.

Sterner said he expected to return to the Rangers either after the winter Olympic games in Innsbrock, Austria, next Feb-' ruary or at the start of training camp next fall.
