10 .THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, August 25, 1965 Jesse Owens Credits Bruce Kidd's Example By JACK SULLIVAN th Press Sports Editor Jesse Owens sat in Toronto Airport one night recent years. "ine Canadians were a little hard on him because of his show- ing in the Tokyo Olympics last year, but he has overcome great odds and has done a job that no other distance runner has done," the one-time track great 7 said in an interview. j "Unlike American athletes who get all sorts of college com- - petition, Kidd had to into open competition. He was a teen-ager when he hit the States and many American kids looked at him and said to themselves, 'If he can do it, so can I.' "He inspired a lot of young- aters and others and he has done an awful lot for the sport. He deserves great credit." Owens, who won four gold medals in the 1936 Olympic Games at Berlin and who was voted the greatest track athlete in The Assouame Press half- century in 1950, has watched Kidd for years. STARTED AS SCHOOLBOY The Toronto athlete, now 22 years old and en route to the Aug. 20-29 world student games at Budapest and then to India for a year of teaching, first hit the international scene as a schoolboy in the late 1950s and dominated North American dis- tance running until 1963. He campaigned chiefly in the U.S. against all-comers -- Aus- tralians, New Zearanders, Eng- lishmen and others -- and be- came one of the best - known track athletes in North Amer- ica He was box-office wherever he went and meéet directors hounded him with invitations, The U.S., never a threat in world competition in distance running, started to develop its own athletes And, although no one has given Kidd an assist, it now is history that Americans won both the 5,000 and 10,000 metres at Tokyo. It was the first time they had cracked Euro an domination in these events : more than 50 years of Olym- pies. in TRACK GREAT, Owens, former W.S. Jesse Olym- pic star, had words of praise for Canadian long-distance runner Bruce Kidd when he arrived in Toronto this week. Owens said Kidd has been one of the greatest in- fluences in world distance a Toronto hospital. Known only to himself and. one or two close friends, been competing against the world's best two years on a pair of aching feet that eventually put him on an operating table he had "No one can say too much in praise of this youngster," said the 52-year-old Owens who came to Canada to open the Royal Ironically enough, Kidd expe- rienced his most pathetic and humiliating moments at Tokyo.
