Athletes arc i breed Vou know the loi a lone distance runner They put so much Into w it they do expect to be rewarded with gold for their endeavors rather simple self satisfaction Thi Olympic ithletes so gravely and deeply concerned about the possible of the international competitions arc typical bran tod they work hard but most know they jomR to win place or even show in the big leagues yet Ihty go on complaining One exception may be Georgetown Ian Clark He has spent the belter part of bis young life propelling his piston like legs over any type of terrain that gets in his way He has put his heart and soul and those of many into a pair of sneakers to prove something Not Just that he con move faster than the second hand on the stop watch but that he can do something with a sense of general proficiency This week his career and all the time he put into it to a peak The pi of his young life At the World Cross Country Championships in Paris France he dropped out of a race many thought and hoped he would win including himself some months before he set fool on the I racetrack What did he have to say about dropping out and blowing his big chance to achieve world notority Nothing reall He look it alt in stride so to speak He probably realizes that one day he will get another chance maybe not as big but to him be is his sport and his sport is him right now and no single race is going to upset in otherwise row running career Now he the kind of athlete the world needs instead of the belly who have probably been all around the world at the taxpayers expense and still thinks he deserves more No Sir I say Sport is supposed to be fun and combined skill and enjoyment None do it better than the Infamous Harlem Globetrotters The American basketball players hove been putting on exhibitions for years now and have played before million people In countries around the world Friday they will be at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto for one appearance They play gomes a year usually winning most
