Brace Kidd Causes Stir
By JIM CULLEN
There has heen a lot of fuss made over Bruce Kidd re- t this tame it has been as a sports-writer and broad- 2 ather than as a track and field competitor.
<idd has been involved with séveral news media recently in the capacity of commentator and writer and the outstand- in eung Canadian distance runner, “currently recuperating from surgery on both ankles, faced suspension or classification professional as a result of endeavors in the news business. A special meeting of the AAU of C was called to decide
what action should be taken against the youthful track star. One story on the account of the meeting read as fol- lows: “Coler the Amateur Athletic Union transparent -— for its ehvious whitewash job on the Bruce Kidd affair.”
Kidd apparently. has copies and photostats of a letter he sent to the AAU specifically requesting permission to write en sports. The AAU, in a written reply, acknowledged Kidd's letter and gave him permission to write. The AAU letter did not make any mention of sport
Following: the meeting the AAU announced: “After a thorouch review ofall the facts regarding the amateur status of Bruce Kidd it was decided no action was necessary.”
The Telegram sports-staff was apparently silghtly disturb- ed by the fact that several months ago they had applied to Desmond Bellow. President of the Track and Field branch of the AAU. Central Ontario Branch for permission for staff member, Jenny Wingerson, a noted hurdler, to write on the track meet and it was refused.
The case is apparently far from settled as when asked whether the ruling meant Kidd could go on writing officials of the AAU gave No Comment. [

The New York Yankees are mired in seventh place in the American Baseball League and will. be lucky if they make the first division before the fall rolls around. This must be kind of hard for the management and members of the team to cet used to, after having rode home on top-of the heap for so many years. This columnist thinks the Yankees are facing a similar situation to the one which confronted the Chicago Black Hawks in the National Hockey League last winner they have too many bosses and not enough honest players.
The Dodgers are getting great pitching from Koufax, Podres, Drysdale and Claude Osteen. We think if this club gets into the world series it will be all over for the oppos- ition with a pitching aggregation like this to face. They are. showng earned run\averages under 2.50.
We had a chat with Jéhn Ferguson at the Charlottetown Driving Park recently and) he told us he will be looking for the biz grey horse Peter fon Top to lead the way to the wire in tonight's feature event

Three separate bouts were stag- ed. In the first bout, Chief Young Eagle defeated The Black Spi- der. The second bout featured two midget girls. Darling Das- mar, a 38 inch tall and 84 pound midget gave away three inches in height but seven pounds in weight but still defeated Dia- mond Lil.

Fitness Designer States Exercise Isnt Best Way
By BOB TRIMBEF
SASKATOON (CP) — Exer- cises, says a man who wrote a best-seller about them, are not the, best method of keeping physically fit
“I'm not trying to diminish their valiie, but it’s difficult to get maximum benefits from any set because of varying effort put out each day,’ sayd Dr. W. A. R. Orban, director of the University ‘of Saskatchewan's school of physical education “People find exercises boring and often as not most eventu- ally give them up. It's a prob- lem no one has yet solved.” In an effort to find another solution to the problem of help- ing Canadians keep physically trim, Dr. Orban, who runs a couple of miles each day be sides walking to and from work, has turned to kids to seek his solution

OTTAWA (CP) Delegates representing practically every amateur sport in Canada were urged Friday to get cracking on their plans to hold special events in 1967.
YThere isn't a great deal of time left if your plans are to bear fruit,” James Worrall, head of the advisory council of the government's fitness direc- | torate, said at a special meet- ‘ing called to discuss and co- — Centennia! sports.
eee Dion, the directorate chief, said the “Time is over for | Broping. Now is the time to | make firm, hard plans."
Arnold Charbonneau, head of |the Centennial sports program, complained that the sports bod- ies haven't given him enough in-
ee He had talked to
them all personally, sent them questionaires and still’ lacked a concrete idea of what was in their minds.
START PLANS
The delegates broke off into four workshops after the series of pep talks and reports on the first Canadian winter games, the Pan-American games. and the sports programs prepared by the Canadian National Ex- | hibition.
They were asked to meet in one group again today with all of the planning accomplished They were also to be prepared to say what help they would re- quire to hold their special events ‘
Both Dion and Charbonneau stressed that originality is needed in planning. The Centen- nial commission. was looking for

Mountain Climbs
‘Good Suggestion
OTTAWA ‘(CP)—A proposal to climb mountain peaks in the. Yu- kon Territory and name them after the 10 Canadian provinces, _the two territories and Alaska | was hailed Friday as the per- | fect example of the originality sought in sports events to be | run off during Canada’s Centen- | nial year.
Craig Hughes of Whitehorse outlined the idea to a confer- ence on planning 1967 sports events after delegates asked what type of projects could ex- pect support from the Centen- nial Commission.
Mr. Hughes said the Yukon hopes to te a part of the St. Elias Mountain Range about 250 air miles west of Whitehorse as ee ridge.
The ridg® has 14 peaks, : the "lowest of which is about 10,000 feet. The highest would be named Centennial Peak.

Hall Of Fame | To Be Built —
OTTAWA ‘CP)--A permanent home for the Canadian sports Hall of Fame is to be built on the Caanadian Nationa! Exhibi- , tion grounds in Toronto as a Centennial project.
George Duthie, manager of the CNE’s sports department. | told a conference on Centennial | sports planning here Friday | that the $250,000 building will | be financed by the ¢xhibition and the city of Toronto.
It will go up as a wing to the | present building housing the Hockey Hal! of Fame. Up to mow. he said, the Canadian sports Hall of Fame has had space in the building but has to move out because the hockey * people need more room.
Mr. Duthie said he hoped the
Canadian Centennial Commis- sion will pay transportation costs to bring. all Canadians
who have won national titles to Toronto for the opening of the building in 1967
It would be the biggest gather-- ing of Canadian sports cham- pions in the country’s history, he said
Athletes asked To train hard
OTTAWA ‘(CP'—Health Minis- ter Judy LaMarsh called on Ca- Madian athletes Friday night to train doubly hard for the Pan- American games at Winnipeg in 1967.
“It would indeed be quite hu- miliating if in our Centennial year we were not able to make @ good account of ourselves,” she told a dinner held in con- nection with a conference on sports Centennial Planning.
Miss LaMarsh, cabinet. minis-
Council, also said the first Ca- madian games, to be held in the winter of 1967, would create another bond between the French and English peoples of
+
would be organized by each province who would ascend the mountains in 1967 and place = provincial emblems or flags on each peak.
The peaks haven't heen climbed before and only expe- /rienced climbers should be re- 'eruited, Mr. Hughes said
Mr. Hughes is asking the Cen- }tennial Commission for finan- ‘cial help for the project. He's also seeking the co-operation of the Canadian Alpine Club and the approval of the names from the Canadian board on geo- graphic names.
