16 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, August 12, 1964 INEZ FISCHER-CREDO AND HER HORES 'GORDINA' KEN PEDLAR Training Now For '68 Olympic Team By BOB TRIMBEE EDMONTON (CP) -- Each night, after a day's work, Ken Pedlar throws a homemade hurdle over his shoulder and heads for a nearby university field. Alone he swings through a brisk set of exercises, wind sprints and practice leaps over the hurdle. Hardly off the ground floor as a track competitor, Pedlar, 18, has his sights on a berth on Canada's 1968 Olympic squad. If he is to achieve the goal Ken must surmount a leg in- jury that kept him out of sports almost a year, a physical dis- ability that restricts his breath- ing, and boredom, the constant danger of athletes who train) alone. | He must also try to squeeze practice ssesions into hte time left after his job with an equip- ment rental firm, playing trom- bone twice a week with-a Sal- vation Army band (his father, Col.

MAY BE TOO LIGHT "At five - eleven and 155 pounds I'll probably be a little light, especially if I have to move to the defensive team." Pedlar's wind problems result from a chest depression. "7 didn't know about it until last year when I went to a doc- tor to have my leg- checked. J told him I always had difficulty finishing a race with my breath- ing. "His examination showed I had a chest depression and he said I'd have to place special emphasis on building up my breathing." All of which keeps Pedlar busy. However, when he does get a spare moment on week- ends, he and a friend are likely to drive to the mountains to run the rapids in a canoe. "We've been thinking about entering a couple of canoe races." METS OBTAIN PITCHER NEW YORK (AP) -- New York Mets obtained pitcher Gary Kroll from Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday as part pay- ment for outfielder Frank Thomas, who went to the Na- tional League baseball leaders in a waiver deal last week.

BORIS KARLOFE starring in age TOKYO OLYMPICS Vancouver Girl Bids In Equestrian Event By JACK MORRIS VANCOUVER (CP)--If Inez Fischer-Credo wins a medal for Canada at the Tokyo Olympics, she'll have the personal satis- faction of knowing she accom- plished it the hard way. She has coached herself. She has entered a field dominated by men. And she is riding a 16- year-old former racehorse that was retired nine years ago. Miss Fischer-Credo is Can- ada's lone entrant in the intri- cate Grand Prix de Dressage, one of the less glamorous Olym- pic events involving a 12-min- ute series of elaborate manoeu- vres in trotting, cantering and change-of-gait, "T really want to put on a good show," says the 33-year- old brunette, a shy woman who dina, a handsome chestnut mare, "I don't really like to tell people here Gordina's age--it sounds so terribly oid to Cana- dians, But actually she has been well taken care of and the European masters frequently use more mature horses" LEARNED FROM GERMANS Inez, who began training her- self and Gordina for the Olym- pics about three years ago, was born in Mexico, whe: her par- ents, German archeologists, had been excavating. In Germany, at the age of 10, she began her riding career un- der the guidance of top Ger- man instructors. She concen- trated on jumping events, win- young, however, for Olympic competition. Add to that the fact she was a woman, "T didn't have much chance." She came to Canada nine years ago and settled here. About the same time Gordina was retired as a thoroughbred following a lacklustre career on local race tracks. She had been too high-strung, often suffering a severe attack of shaking be- fore a race. Several years later Inez spotted the horse in a pasture. "I'm not very wealthy, you see, so Dr, Sarjeant (Dr S&S. T. R.

"Maybe it will improve next) year now that the university) has built its new track. But right now most of the empha- sis is on cross-country competi- tions." His twice-weekly band dates conflict with workouts held by the Edmonton Olympic Club, leaving him no alternative but to work out alone. "I know I haven't the time to get into condition to become a threat to make the 1964 Olym- pic team, I had to lay off for almost a year when I tore the bone ligaments in my right leg. I didn't get back into tra'ning until late last winter when I be- gan to work out at night in the hockey arena. "T've got to be careful in my warmups because I have found I can reinjure the leg quite easily. That's one reason I built my own hurdle, I put a rubber inner tube along the top and hinged the top half of the hur- die so that if I accidentally strike it I won't hit something hard and go off balance." SET SIX RECORDS A native of Toronto, Pedlar first entered track competitions while in Grades 9 and 10 at Saint John High School in New Brunswick. He set six records, three city and three provincial, including a 15.1-second time for the 120 - yard low hurdles, a tenth of a second off the Cana- dian under-16 record. He completed high school: in Edmonton and entered univer- sity Jast fall.
