12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, April 18, 1964 Racial Problems May Interfere In Soccer Contest By J. C. GRAHAM Press vigorous campaign developed t jagainst a similar ban when the Corresponden' -AUCKLAND, N.Z. (CP)--|1960 team was chosen. Under Wide speculation has been|the slogan "no Maoris, no caused by the action of the|tour," protests were made last- South African Rugby Board injing many months. inviting two representatives of The New Zealand Rugby New Zealand's native race, the/Union insisted that Maoris were Maoris, to attend the 75th anni- versary celebrations of the board in South Africa in May. Some people see the invita- tion as a small wedge in the policy of apartheid in sport in South Africa. Others ask whether it is only a device to stave off isolation in the foot- ball world as in other spheres. The Maoris of New Zealand, - skinned Polynesians, are fine footballers. The All Blacks, the New Zealand na- tional rugby football team, us: ually include several Maori players. But no Maoris have ever been sent with All Blacks rugby teams competing in South Af- rica. Reciprocal visits between the two countries are made every few years and the unof- ficial world championship is often claimed to lie betwen them. South Africans make no ob- jection to playing against Maoris when touring New Zea- jJand and indeed have played against all-Maori teams. But the understanding in the past has been that when New Zealand tours South Africa, the racial policy of the host country should be observed. There were protests against Maoris being barred from the 1949 'All Blacks team to tour South Africa, and a much more not being considered to protect them from the possibility of slights. In spite of all protests, the "all white All Blacks," as they became known, duly made the South African tour. Feeling has intensified since then, however. The next New Zealand rugby team is due to tour South Africa in 1967. A statement in 1962 by the South African minister of the interior, Senator Jan de Klerk, [that the government's policy could not teams from abroad into the re- public brought many assertions that the All Blacks tour of 1967 had thereby been barred. allow mixed race C. S. Hogg, chairman of the New Zealand Rugby Union, said categorically: "When an All Black team next visits South Africa, the selectors will be in- structed to choose the best play- ers, whether they be Maori or European." Suggestions have been made that an all-race team might be chosen, but that a whites-only team might eventually be sent if the Maoris were directly barred by the South African government. Such a course has become in- creasingly unlikely, however. The protests of 1960 would in all probability today be pressed Sport--Foreign Horses May to a point where they could not be ignored. Most of the public in 1960 felt that sport should be kept out of politics, but it is doubtful today if the public would stand for further exclu- sion of Maoris. FIRST STEP South African rugby adminis- trators for their part have given indications that they be- lieve difficulties over Maoris can be overcome, Just how has not been made clear, but sev- eral unofficial hints have been given of confidence that a fully representative New Zealand team will be able to tour South Africa in 1967. In some quarters the invita- tion to two Maoris to attend the 75th anniversary celebra- tions is seen as a first step to- ward obtaining acceptance of Maori footballers. The two men chosen have been assured they will be treated with all honor and the invitation has been accepted. Much significance is attached to the fact that the invitations were apparently extended en- tirely on the initiative of the Souh Africans without prompt- ing or angling from New Zea- land ' However, attendance as guests is a different thing from taking part in matches. Five New Zealand white rugby players will be visiting South Africa at the same time as in- vited members of international teams to play three jubilant games in South Africa. Maoris) have not been invited as mem- bers of those teams. SPORT FROM BRITAIN Foreign Horses May | Dominate Classics By ALAN HARVEY LONDON (CP) -- The classic horses are speaking French with an American accent these soft spring days. Which is a quaint way of say- ing that some of the leading challengers for the English clas- sic races, starting April 28; are American - bred thoroughbreds owned and trained in France. Two examples are Gertie Widener's Takawalk, sired by Native Dancer, and Mrs. How- ell Jackson's Baldric II, a son of Round Table. These two are quoted at 16 to 1 for the Two Thousand Guineas, a one-mile Tace at Newmarket. The current favorite for the Two Thousand is Showdown, owned and bred in England. But Showdown could finish only third in his first race this season and may be displaced as top betting choice. On the other hand, Showdown beat Takawalk: by four lengths in. their only meeting as two-year-olds. An Americambred filly domi- ciled in France, hotelman Fran- cois Dupre's Texanita, heads the betting in the One Thous- and Guineas, a fillies' race to be run at Newmarket April 30. Texanita breezed home a win- ner by 1% lengths in an April 1 on French thoroughbreds. Relic sired last year's Derby winner, Relko. Trainer Mathet thought Texanita would be short of stamina for Newmarket but the seven-furlong 'trial in France raised hopes that she will last the distance. French horses, though not nec- reds|essarily American - bred ones, the strength of one sensational victory in Ireland last year. What about the English) horses? Apart from Showdown, nothing has emerged that ap- but trainers are quietly sug-) gesting that some real "dark 'uns" may be on view pears to offer any real chal-| lenge to the French and Trish, | Oe SNL LAE OTN Ne NM ERNE igriilinn aaa WOODSTOCK (CP)--Prior to Friday's Eastern Canada Allan Cup final, Johnny Wilson, coach of Ottawa montagnards, com- plained bitterly about the Wood- stock arena. But if the first two games in the best-of-seven series are any indication Wilson may not have to worry about playing in Wood- stock again this year. Woodstock Athletics fired five goals within a span of four min- utes and five seconds and went on to wallop Montagnards 10-1 for their 14th victory in 17 play- off games and their 27th home- ice win in 29 starts this year. The Athletics, who opened the series Wednesday with an im- pressive 7-2 triumph, will carry a 2-0 lead in games when the series switches to Ottawa for the third and fourth contests Monday and Wednesday respec- tively. The arena cameunder heavy criticism from Wijgon, former National Hockey ague star with Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Rangers, following Wood stock's Wednesday tri- umph. "TI am disappointed in the Ca- nadian Amateur Hockey Associa- tion in letting us play in.a rink like thi§,"" said the one-time "iron man" of the NHL. "For an Eastern Canada Allan Cup|? final there should be something better around." MOVE CONSIDERED Several days prior to the open- ing of the set there was some talk that the site of the playoffs might be shifted to neutral ice either Kiichener or London as the arena here was considered to small for the Eastern Can- ada final. However, it was de- cided to play the first two games in Woodstock. Gerry Stringle and defence- man Jack Mclntyre_ spear- headed the Woodstock attack, jeach scoring two goals and Woodstock Wins In Allan Cup Play three assists. McIntyre is on loan to Woodstock from Guelph Regals of the Ontario Hockey Association Senior A league. Roy Land, with a pair, Bobby Robinson, "Art Sullivan, 9 Caron and Ron Hergott were the other Woodstock goal sco-- ers, Hergott, voted most valu- able player in the OHA senior circuit, was picked up from Galt Hornets for the series. Andre Despard scored for Ot- tawa in the second period. Referee Vic Munn of Montreal assessed 20 penalties including two majors and a game mis- conduct, Woodstock picked up 11 of the 18 minors handed out. Bill Watson of Ottawa was tossed out of the game late in the first period for hitting Wood- stock's Tommy Wilson across the head with his stick after the latter had dropped his gloves land stick. Watson received a minor, a major and the game misconduct. Woodstock playing-coach Ted Announce Date Of Jr. Title Match SAINT JOHN, N.B.
