SPORTS FROM BRITAIN By ARCH MacKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Writer NDON (CP)--The British fan takes his sport via easy chair television set has had lean - pickings lately. Wo Controllers% of major British sports are reluctant to give greater TV freedom for two reasons--fear of reduced gates and a wait-and- see attitude pending possible gov- ernment action. Meanwhile, the British Broad- casting Corporation is treading softly to sgtisfy both viewers and sports clubs, lining up what events it can. The government-controlled BBC has a monopoly on TV in Britain, although sponsored TV is on the way. Thus, for the time being only the well-known British genius for com- promise is keeping sport on TV screens, . TELEVISE CUP FINAL Case in point is the Football Association Cup final, major event offered mm its entirety to BBC TV this year although refused in 1952. The BBC didn't exactly jump at this sports plum, apparently be- cause it didn't want to antagonize soccer clubs in 42 league games scheduled the same day. It also had in mind two big cricket mat- ches, one including the Australian test side, where gates might suffer. The soccer clubs eased the situ- ation by shifting their dates. The stand by the big three of soccer, cricket and rugby leaves only lesser spectacles such as speedway racing, hockey, boxing, swimming and track and field un- opposed to TV. And they can't Provide a meal in themselves. re is some racing coverage. NED TO AMATEUR! When professional soccer cooled to TV--on a club-by-club basis-- BBC turned to the amateur d for the backbone of its sports ge. Now this source is drying up as the amateurs complain that, even if their own gate receipts mren't affected in providing TV material, other district clubs suf- fer. ents for TV rights BBC ] aren't to compared with Uni- even { | | 4 | costing £500 last year, are expec- ted to cost more this year. Th Football Association final also is {dearer, although the sum likely | won't exceed four figures. The problem doesn't stop at TV, either. as the long-drawn negotia- tiéns for the Grand National broad- casting rights illustrate. Still, the country will hear the race.

Government spokesman Earl De La Warr told him the government has the problem under considera- tion but is not interfering in the BBC-sport promoter negotiations. George Whiting, Evening Stand- ard sports writer who has been one voice pooh-poohing the situation, declared that sport should take TV in 'its:stride because a TV screen "will always be third best to playing a game and second best to watching it."

Rugby Union MONTREAL (CP)~The Cana- {dian Intercollegiate Athletic Union | (Central) has decided to remain in the Canadian Rugby Union for an- | other year, it was disclosed Tues- day. A statement issued by the union, which includes college football teams in Quebéc and Ontario, said the question of withdrawing from the U was discussed last Sat- urday at the union's annual meet- ing at Queen's University in King- ston, Ont. The question of adopting different playing rules also was studied. A 'considerable' body of opin- fon favored withdrawal from the CRU but the meeting finally de- cided to maintain the CRU affili- ation, abide by the playing rules for the 1953-54 season and give fur- ther . ¢onsideration to both ques- tions next year. A major change in the union's financial structure was made. Up to now, McGill, Queen's, Uni- versity of Toronto and University of Western Ontario have been re- sponsible for paying any deficits on each year's operations. Any fu- ture deficits will be borne by all members, in proportion to the union fees paid by each. 0.

A big measure of credit for Cana- diens' popularity should go to Maurice Richard, voted the most colorful guy in the game. The Rocket won it easily over Gordie Howe of Detroit and Milt Schmidt of Boston Bruins, the only others receiving a vote. POPULAR TEAM The writers and announcers prob- ably had their eyes on the stand- | ing-room only accommodation at] Montreal Forum and on the atten- dance figures of other NHL cities when Canadiens were playing. The reason was summed up neatly by Vince Lunny, sports edi- tor of the Montreal Herald, with this observation: "Canadiens must be the most colorful, they outdraw all other clubs on the road." The same view was expressed by Baz O'Meara, Montreal Star sports edi- I. Sportscaster Frank Fallon of WMEX, Boston; Andy O'Brien of Weekend Magazine, and sportscas- ter Frank Starr of CJAD, Mont- real, agreed with Lunny and O'Meara, but others emphasized the color of Montreal players. "Personalities,"" was the one- word description of Canadiens by John Gillooly of the Boston Daily Record. "Fast and flashy," said Dana Mozley of the New York Daily News. "They have every | type of player out there," observed | sportscaster Foster Hewitt of | CKFH, Toronto. "Detroit is workmanlike, effi cient; so is Montreal--but Cana- diens also are a rough, tough, bruis- ing, spectacular crew who will fist fight when necessary," summed up Dan Desmond of the Chicago Her- ald-American. WIDE-OPEN STYLE "They are the most colorful be- | cause of their wide-open play," said | Bed Burnett of the Toronto Daily ar, Another Canadiens supporter was Nick Del Ninno of the Boston Traveler who added a good word for coach Dick Irvin, "Canadiens |are the most colorful probably be- | cause Irvin works on making them colorful," he said. Joe Falls of The Press, Detroit, and sportscaster Phil Stone of CHUM, Toronto, were the only selectors to pick the Leafs. "They're sort of like the 'Pride of the Yankees,' the AP writer said. "If you are a Maple Leaf you have to be good and | rough." Voting for the Red Wings were Bobby Hewitson, sports editor of the Toronto Telegram; Marshall Dann, Detroit Free Press; Ben Olan, The Associated Press. New York; Sid Abel, Chicago Black Hawk playing-coach and former Wing player, and sportscaster Ward Wilson of WMGM, New York. 4 Associated | ® "If a man chases a woman long enough, she'll catch him!" says Hannah. 504 Simcoe St. S.

ODORLESS "PERLUX" CLEANING Canada's Newest Track Sensation Has Much Promise TORONTO (CP) -- Twenty-year- old Mary MacDonald, Canada's newest track star, is fleet of foot, charming of manner and as femin- ine as they come. A Canadian -- and probably a | 4 world-record, 6.8 seconds for 60 yards, was set recently in Hamil- ton by this attractive. dark-haired sprinter, whose uppermost thought now is: "Can I do it again?" In an interview, Mary, dressed in a dainty white blouse and light blue skirt. said: "1 got off to a good start in that heat and I knew I was running well. You can just tell when you are. My coach told me I gained about a yard right at the begin- ning and naturally in a 60-yard sprint to get away to a good start means nearly everything." Mary, who runs for the East York Track Club and is rather an unassuming girl, is keyed up by comments of sports wirters such Ss: "The East York flier will bear watching against the class of the United States." The young five-foot-six, 126-pound | sprinter makes some of her own clothes, but says she really has no time for hobbies, or much else besides track work. She trains three nights a week. It takes her an hour to get to the club, and that's after working all day as a stenographer with an in- surance company.
