One day in lits youtli, as lie was carrying a newbomn caîf ta Uts motlier, it occurred ta him that it -wouldn't be too long befare tliat littie calf would be too heavy ta lift. Unfless.... Unless he mnade a practice of lifting the caif each and every day! He did -- and tliat's liow lie came ta be a circus strong man. or so the story goes. I'm not too interested in running off ta ja in tlie circus, but I admire the man's determina- tian.

"The only reason I am excelling naw," lie says, "ts that I have Ontario outlived ail my competitors." SUR -- wauld you, at your age, like la get up in front of a stadium full of spectatars and try your luck at the long jump? EveÈe-tt Hosack jumped six feet, eight inches -and he's 95. It'sbeen a lbusy year for Hosack. He alsa set world records at the Kent State Indoor Masters Meet in Ohio and as the Masters Indoor Cliamptonships in Greensboro, Nortli Carolina. Then there was lits triumph at the Nortli Çoast Masters Indoor Champianships and tlie Cleveland Classics Masters Meet, Nothing ta compare, of course, withi Hosacks achtievement at the World Championships in Japan, wliere lie carved a phenamenal 21 seconds off the world record for 400 metres. Mnd you, tliat was back in 1993. Hosack was only 91 then. I managed ta catch up with Everett Hosack between track meets last montli.
