This was over a distance of only 120 yards, and over hurdles to boot. In these sprint type events times are measured in tenths and hundredths of seconds. You just never expect anyone to pick off anything like half a second in an event of this type. Av. 5.45m €ANAD EUDGIIG" Vulluul u A a u v A . v v . u v J _--.,, This was the O.F.S.S.A.A. track meet at London where the cream of high school track and field stars gather to battle it out for Ontario honours. The meet is province wide in scope and naturally. when you get the very best young athletes gathered from all corners of the province, the action is fast and furious. Records are made only to be broken and a lot of old marks are erased from the books to make room for new ones dur- ing the course of the meet. I ,,L,‘ AU-.., -LL-..L.'An 1:15 uuc \avuAL-y v1. nu, The track meet always attracts more attention than the field events as they have a more popular appeal. A hammer thrower, for instance, would have to put his ‘weapon into orbit to attract any real attention. S’tough, but those are the facts of life. _ .â€" fl‘l . - ' . ‘ v _ V 7 7 7 ‘ 7-...“=‘;-‘ -' "_> 4'!“ a“, 'IIIIIIIIIgQ It makes one wonder sometimes just how good a local boy has to be and just what kind of performance he has to turn in to get some recognition. The boy in question is Cliff Nuttall of Thornhill High School who set a new Canadian Schoolboy record at London recently. , L Y null-.. uuv ulnvuv u- yuv --V_-~ .. The large daily papers and wire services heralded the mile event, won as per usual by Bruce Kidd, as the outstanding performance of the meet. It was a great performance as young Mr. Kidd knocked six seconds ofl’ the existing record by running the distance in four minutes and 17 seconds. As we said it was a great per- formance. There was another meet record set that day that was more spectacular in our opinion, and attracted very little attention. Cliff Nuttall won the 120 yard high hurdles in a,time of 14.7 seconds: This set a new Canad- ian recOrdIfor the event and took a full half second off the old record of 15.2 seconds. In any sprint event performances have already been pushed to the optimum limit and these records have been set by the cream of the crop. A half second begins to loom up as big as a mountain. Nuttall’s time for the 120 yard high hurdles ex- ceeded or equalled the times of most Canadian Olympic prospects. The big Thornhill boy has a very good chance of an all-expense trip to Rome to do battle for the hon- our of the Maple Leaf so just how that mile efi‘ort was, to quote one large daily newspaper, “a meet sensation”, surely beats me. Let’s give credit where credit is due. Bruce Kidd, Malvern’s Miracle Miler, ran a great race as he always does. The alliteration sounds good too, doesn’t it? How’s this for alliteration, â€"â€" “Thornhill’s Timber Topper”? Nuttall is worthy of just as much recognition as Bruce Kidd. and Bruce, being the good fellow he is, would be the first to admit it. Next time an athlete from this district comes up with an extraordinary performance, maybe, just maybe, someone will recognize it ‘for what it is. Fred Foote, mentor of the East York Track Club, knew what it meant and is now grooming Cliff for a shot at the big apple. the Olympic Games. So that gets one big, king-sized beef off our chests and it feels good. One thing is sure, you’ll see the name Nuttall on the sports pages of the large dailies in future or our crystal ball is really shot. ' ‘ To be a really successful baseball or softball strate- gist takes more than mere ability. Sometimes a little help or even a slight push from that fickle Lady Luck at just the right time can make a hero out of the best or the worst of us and make a split second decision look like a well planned move. 1 Ask Stan Ransom, genial manager of the Dynes’ Jewellers’ Team What we mean. Get the picture. Score tied 4-4 and we’re in the bottom of the twelfth inning. Two batters get on base on errors and another is delib- erately walked to load the bags. There is only one man out at the time". What do you do in a spot like this? Leave the next batter in the line-up, or wave in a pinch-hitter? Stan, waved in a pinch hitter and lo. and behold! the boy drew a walk and forced in the winning run from third base. See what we mean? Strategy is a real deal. but a little luck goes a long way. How about it, Stan? â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" BY EON CRAINE a With Class "A" lrude-ln TUBELESS and WHITEWALLS available In many size». Tubeless $1 extra. Whitewulls 53 extra.

Miss Judy Richardson of 236 Alsace Rd. was chosen to ruin as the Sports Queen in a contest at the Allencourt Plaza last Friday evening.

The now defunct Lansin‘g Sunoco Team seems to have shored up the somewhat shaky druggist team of last year. A1 Fairthorne, Jack Currie, George Alsop and “Chico” Fernandez have shifted to the Bergson squad “and if their first appearance means anything they will make things rough for the opposition this year. Jack Currie was on the mound for the druggists throughout the piece and after a shaky second inning, in which he yielded four straight singles and gave up the first run of the game. From here on in Currie seemed to be in control and was never in any serious trouble’ as he held the jewellers to scattered hits. The only extra base hit was a double off the hat of Brian Gillespie in Bill Jackson got the starting assignment from Stan Ransom and Bill lasted until the seventh inning before yielding to reliefer Jack Castrucci with nobody out. In his six inning stint Jackson allowed five hits, yielded up four walks and struck out 8. One of the hits was a home run shot ofl‘ the hat of Bergson second base- man, Bobby Bower, with one man on base.
