Last year there were ru- mors that Robinson might be approached to handle the Mounties. Brick Laws said no dice, no offer had been made. But how about next season? Wouldn’t Robinson be just the ideal choice for player-mana- ger? And wouldn’t he be the biggest box office attraction we could find? ae * * One cannot mention box of- fice without saying a few words about Ronnie Knox, who is credited with drawing an extra 6,000 fans to watch the cellar - dwelling Stampeders tangle with the lowly B.C. Lions. Ronnie may not be popular, but he is a quarterback. His passing is sensational and I ean’t help thinking that if Lions had signed him up last summer we’d have a team in the playoffs today. At $1,000 a game he’d have been dirt cheap. * ~ * More than 5,000 men and women athletes will take part in the Olympics at Melbourne next month. They will come from 73 nations but four coun- tries — the United States, So- viet Union, Great Britain and Australia — will provide one- fifth of the competitors. Who will “win” the Games? That isn’t so important. What is important is that we should applaud the winners, who will be the world’s best in amateur sport, and who will be compet- ing as true sportsmen who have taken the Olympic Oath. Wording of the Oath is: “We swear that we will take part in the Olympic Games in loyal competition, respecting the regulations which govern them and desirous of partici- pating in them in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the honor of our country and the glory of sport.” U.S. Whether it’s ust’s Olympic trials, very little about the Games has probably one reason why the Canadian Olympic Ass found it so difficult to raise its quota. And also why the federal and provincia ernments feel they can get away with the miserable amounts they have That's daily papers. Despite the almost unani- mous ‘write-off’ by the ex- perts of Canada’s chances in Australia in November (ex- cept for some water events) we still feel that Gur team warrants more support than it has received — both from the public and the govern- ments concerned. With only a few weeks left until the Olympic torch is lit in -Melbourne’s new stadium on November 22, we submit our track and field expert’s prognostications in’ men’s events. If he’s only 75 per cent right, it indicates that the American team will dom- inate, especially in the sprints and relays. These are the first predic- tions made in such detail and we will continue, in future 1s- sues to handle the women’s events, swimming, weightlift- ing, wrestling, boxing and soc- cer. And we suggest you clip this “form chart” and keep it handy for reference when the Olympic track and field events start next month. : MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD 100 Metres — R. Morrow, U.S.; I.
