12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, April 14, 1964 Old Age Sports Reporter, But Still Active MONTREAL (CP)--Basil Ed- mund O'Meara, despite the han- die and even at 71, fulfils every movie-goer's view of the way a sports writer should look--the hat in a slight slouch, match stick between the teeth, eyes sharp behind horn-rimmed glasses. . But Baz O'Meara, as he is bylined in the Montreal Star and known to several generations of sportsmen, is too thoughtful; too gentle a man to complete the classic caricature of a sports reporter as a flip - tongued pusher A recent stroke has slowed him down and his once-daily col- umn of comment in the. Star, The Passing Sport Show, is less frequent now. But he is still a fast man with an anecdote, drawing on a life- time reservoir of names and dates and big moments to pro- duce an ever-fresh yarn, And he can turn a subtle phrase or engi-| neer a gentle joke with the best. As for his work, Baz says, won't quit. Not until they carry} me out.'

Targets of his ribbing tend retaliate in kind. Baz recall an episode in his Ottawa Senator days when a burly defenceman he had criti- cized in print was given a pen- alty and, spotting O'Meara at the press table behind the pen- alty box, clambered right through the box and advanced menacingly on the writer. Muttering "I'm for it now," Baz was ready to break into a sweat or a run, when the de- fenceman leaned over him, broke into a grin, asked what time it was and retired laughing to the box. Scrupulously honest in his re- porting Baz occasionally per-| mits -himself a sly dig that pleases Montrealers.
