n > 20 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, Mey 5, 1960 Canada's Trapshooting Ace Anxious For Ol ympic Games MONTREAL (CP) -- Back in 1952 they had to talk George Ge- nereux into going to the Olym- pies. This year he is eager to make the trip. "You always want to prove something to yourself," says the 26-year-old Genereux, a gold medal winner in trapshooting for Canada eight years ago in Hel- sinki. For the husky, quiet-spoken medical student from Saskatoon, the compulsion is obviously to show his Olympic victory as an 18-year-old was no fluke. He didn't make the Canadian team in 1956. A more resolute, seasoned Ge- nereux, in his fourth year of med- ieine at McGill University, is set to try again at the trials this summer in Hamilton. Weekends George takes time off from his studies to practice with 12-gage shotgun at the range of the Montreal Anglers and Hunters Inc. Among his shooting companions is Montreal Cana- diens hockey star Tom Johnson. GEORGE GENEREUX, 26, US. Senator Estes Kefauver (Dem.
