The phone number is Amherst 9-1968. These numbers have a senti- mental meaning to more than 200 fellows in Calgary. They are the people who have been plug- ging Banff as the site of the 10th Winter Olympic Games in-- what else?--1968. All they can hope for now is that the address and phone number will become the most familiar in Canadian sports by| Jan, 28, 1964, That's when the} International Olympic Commit- tee meets at Innsbruck, Austria, to decide venue of the 1968 Games, "Our homework is com- pleted," Bud Messinger of Cal- gary, manager of the CODA, said in Toronto the other day. "Everything is ready to go. All interested international sports federations--hockey, skiing aad ident Ed Davis of Calgary, Messinger and scores of other interested citizens has been fan- tastic. Messinger and a stenog- rapher have bee the only paid members of CODA. The others have donated their time and money towards getting Canada the Olympic Games for the first time, The CODA was formed in 1956. The first pitch to the Inter- national Olympic Committee to get the Winter Games for Can- ada was made in 1959. That was for the 1964 Olympics which, eventually, went to Innsbruck. Since then, an almost unbe- lievable amount of work ad study have been done. CODA members have trav- elled to Sweden, Greece, Fin- land, Germany, France, the United States and almost every section of Canada. They've been) soaking up know - how about) staging an Olympics. They've picked the brains of organizers of previous Olympics. Twenty committees have been so on--have been advised of our plans. Now, it's up to the IOC to decide whether Canada, spe- cifically Banff, gets the Games. "We think we have a good chance." The planning by CODA Pres- set up to study and to plan every phase of organizing an in- ternational sports festival of| Olympic size. oe | "We have spent possibly $250,-| 000 in our preparations to date,| of the Banff area itself," said Messinger. "Money has been received from the federal and provincial governments, from private industry and citizens, Fae! would have been at least doubled if our personnel had |had been on a salary basis. | "Our committees have spent juntold' hundreds of hours just planning for the Games, Board of directors meetings have been |held once and twice a week. We've had reqeusts for 50 or 60 speaking engagements from various parts of the country and our members have filled these in their own time," If Canada is awarded the Games, and some officials say the chances are about 70-30, CODA is ready to start final planning on Jan. 29. Tentative dates have been set jat Feb. 15-25, 1968, at Banff. "If we get the go-ahead, we can expect athletes from 32 or 34 countries," Messinger says. "About 1,800 persons would be necessary to ensure smooth functioning of the Olympics and this list imcludes, bus drivers, waiters, waitresses, i t: ers, dish washers, chefs. "Name the occupation and, somehow or other, it will fit into much of this on improvementiour plans." SPORT SNAPSHOTS Boos Can Hurt You! Knobby Remembers By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Sports Editor Nine years ago Nobby Wir- kowski was booed right off the Toronto Argonaut football club. He had been trying for four years to make Argo fans forget about dead-armed Al Dekde- brun, who had quarterbacked the club -- then coached by Frank Clair--to a 1950 Grey Cup title. Clair said that Dekdebrun "shot-put the ball instead of throwing it." Dekdebrun dented ce playoff picture and with this and the people in the stands went along with him. | Wirkowski, who had played| with Miami University at Ox-) ford, Ohio, was brought in as) the team's 1951 quarterback. He played a big role in Argonauts') 21-11 Grey Cup victory over Ed- monton Eskimos in 1952, but the customers weren't satisfied. | "Go home, you bum," was a} favorite taunt and, in Decem-| ber, 1954, Nobby got the gate.| At the time Nobby admitted) the boos occasionally got him down. But he added: "The privilege of razzing goes with) the price of a ticket." | YANKED SANDY Now, as coach of Argonauts, Nobby probably recalls his own! jin the Grey Cup final since Wir- |games in Toronto and they'll be \Club doesn't produce, |to be their prime target.

That may be okay, particu- jlarly at this time when Argos are out of the Eastern: Confer- three games to go to fill out the schedule.

There have been cases in pro sport where fan behavior has caused club officials to get rid of players subjected to razzing. Defenceman Tom Johnson and goalkeeper Jacques Plante of Montreal Canadiens in the Na- tional Hockey League are ex- amples. But they were in Mont- real uniform for years. Another is Allan Stanley, de- fenceman with New York Rang- ers for five full seasons, who was traded to Chicago Black Hawks and eventually to. Tor- onto Maple Leafs. Madison Square Garden fans had been down on Stanley for years and the club management thought a change was due.

He and his wife are sole owners of a similar com- pany, Delta Raceways, in Lad- ner, B.C, Under his guidance harness racing may well qualify for the title of fastest growing sport in Western Canada: and it is cer- tainly in the competition for the most rapidly expanding busi- ness, During a good day this season the pari-mutuel turnover at the Edmonton Exhibition track ran as high as $125,000.

Nabbit and Skute is a fictiti- ous collective name for Brit- ain's bookmakers, long re- garded as a distinctive and in- dispensable feature of the sport- ing scene. The question now being urgently canvassed is pensable. Many people would rather see a totalizator monopoly, as in Canada and the United States. The fundamental difficulty is that the bookies, who handle about 10 times as much action as the tote, don't put much back into racing. , The result is that British race- tracks mow are subsidized by grants from an official levy board, Even then, purses are much lower than in North Amer- ica or in France, owners stand less chance of making ends meet and spectators have to put Oldest Moose Doesn't Sport Biggest 'Rack' SAULT STE.

This year, as the bookies had to be prodded imto making even a nominal contri- bution to the levy board, opin- ion veered violently against the men who lay the odds.

He became its chairman in the early '50s and was instrumental in bringing back harness racing in 1952 after a lapse of nearly 30 years. "It was a financial success but it was small because of the shortage of horses,' says Con- nelly, whose interest in the sport goes back to the days when his father took him to watch harness racing in the old city fairground. It was nine more years until he got harness racing going in a big way. In 1961 the circuit included Saskatoon and Regina |but the harness operator found \the Alberta-B.C. cirouit more lucrative and withdrew from Saskatchewan. BOUGHT HORSES | Harness activity in Alberta jand Saskatchewan was so lim- jited before, that there was little incentive to potential horse jbreeders "so I bought some horses of my own to get it started," explains Connelly, From there on it was a mat- ter of studying track operations all over the continent, encour- aging other horsemen, and get- ting the necessary legislation BROWN'S LUMBER & SUPPLIES LTD.

The modern touch Connelly has lent to western harness racing includes an electric tote- board, mobile starting gate, and| infra-red heaters under the' grandstand for cold autumn nights when they run under the lights in Edmonton, More than 300 horses from all over the west now compete on the circuit but top-notch opera- tion would require about 400. "Right now we're trying to promote breeding as an indus- try in thé province." Connelly can put his heart in such a promotion because he has some definite ideas about the advantages of harness rac- ing over the thoroughbred "run- ners,' 'MORE COLORFUL' "For one thing the bulk of harness horses are privately owned, trained and driven. A lot of money is not essential and a person can own horses and compete without hiring half a dozen assistants and making it big business. To many of the competitors it is simply a sport and a hobby. Harness Racing Enjoys | Comeback In Edmonton "It's also more colorful than there's something happening on the track all the time betweén races, There are a lot of people |who come out just to watch, not necessarily to bet." Connelly feels the reputation of racing is improving quickly as the result of stiffer policing from both inside and out. ~ "There can be bad apples anywhere and you've got to keep your ¢yes open for them. Nothing will kill a sport faster than a few dishonest oper- ators." Whatever the reason may be, the reeeption that harness rac- ing is receiving has encouraged Bill Connelly to plan a move to Yakima, Wash., and to lay the groundwork for an entirely new plant at Ladner, ' Hi Y Sult Styled aed 'Tailored by , SAM ROTISH: 7 KING ST.
