SPORTS SCENE 14 THE GAZETTE, TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1967 Fun And The Fair: The Other Side Of In No Place In Sport ttyt Pat Curran 'I i.Lmmm means a lot. Nobody really knows how fast you can go around the Speedway but nobody will bet on over 170 m.p.h. Mario Andretti, the 27-year-old Italian born American, came within one mile per hour of that figure in qualifying. He could be uncomfortably close to the maximum if anyone knew. Don Seely doesn't know and he doesn't especially care.

It's not that he's, unfeeling. It's just that this particular auto race is only the climax of a month-long program of entertainment in this town, The climax of 11 months of committees and idea-swapping and gold in May in preparation for one of the United States great institutions. The Indianapolis 500. The track itself is 2.5 miles long four turns linking two brief straightaways in a banked oval. They used to call it The Brickyard bepause it was only a few years ago that they covered the treacherous brick banking with asphalt.

But they might as well have left it in brick. The 33 cars which qualified out of a record 90 entries moved close to four miles per hour faster on average this year than last. Four miles per hour may seem little but between 160 and 164 m.p.h. it day for $750,000, Seely will be just another fan in the infield, just another spectator in the annual extravaganza which is the Indianapolis 500. A dark-haired, hook-nosed, young chamber of commerce leader, Seely has put the fun in the fair.

The Indianapolis 500 fair which is as American as blueberry pie and ice cream, a country holiday. It is hot dogs and T-shirts and fun rides and an auto race. It is the 12th month of the year when midwest Indianapolis doubles its population and quadruples its income. 11 months, in ft city termed a cornfield with paved streejs, the corn turns solid Laporte Top Canadian Takes Skeet Title remarks about separatism were uncalled for. The Quebec group quit the' QAHA some eight years ago in a dispute about signing and releasing minor league Montreal left but on a friendly basis due to a conflict in age limits between its sports program and the QAHA.

The irony of Montreal's withdrawal two years ago is that a hard-working French-Canadian, Lionel' Fleury, of Quebec City, was then president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. May Be Independent Now, says Crochetiere, the Quebec and Montreal municipally operated groups are becoming more powerful and may form an association independent of the QAHA. He said the different fractions "are beating their brains out" while the youngsters suffer. Crochetiere says he will get' Jackie McLeod, national team coach, and CAHA Executive Secretary Gordon Juckes to assist in his war against separatist sentiment. They will attend the annual' meeting of the Quebec Senior League next mionth, "Once they meet them in person, maybe they won't think the CAHA is so bad," says Henry of his opponents.

Personally, we think separatism in minor sports is all in Henry Crochetiere's mind. It was our pleasure to handle a bantam team last winter which lost the championship by a goal with two seconds to go. Eleven of our 15 boys were French-Canadians and not one of them blamed defeat on the coach's broken French. Sport has alwiys rited as a common denominator between race, color, creed and language, On this count the latest statement by one of amateur hockey's self-styled leaders leaves us dumbfounded moreso, boiling mad. It's concern enough to hear talk of separatism on business And political fronts and attempt to weigh the facts objectively as a native-born Quebecer who has travelled all across Canada.

However, when anyone suggests that this social revolution is creeping into the field of games, it's time to stand up and shout foul. The spark of this fire in our Irish blood i a quote from Henry Crochetiere, president of the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association, during the annual meetings of the Canadian AHA at Saskatoon last week. He said that separatist movements are hurting minor hockey in this province. Some groups have broken away from the QAHA on grounds that the national body is basically an English organization which should not set regulations for French groups. Man From The West "They say the CAHA, because President Fred Page is from Vancouver, represents the West and isn't going to tell ua what to do," the Canadian Press quoted Crochetiere.

Enroute to his remarks, the Sher-brooke resident said he was trying to return two breakaway groups to the Quebec and CAHA fold, the Confederation of Recreation in Quebec City and the Montreal Parks and Playgrounds Association. He may have meant well but his smalltime backbiting which will ulliniately double Indianapolis' 470,000 population here for a weekend. An annual item of the town's budget; an annual item on Speedway Owner Tony Hullman's bank account. They don't announce attendance at the Speedway but conservative estimates placed 150,000 here for the first day of trials and over 300,000 for race day at an average of $15 a head. Graham Hill won the race last year and earned over $170,000.

That kind of money brings the best in the world. Best drivers in the world are here again 28 of the old American school and five from Europe's Prix drivers. With winners Hill and Scotsman Jimmy Clark, GP. drivers have dominated the race for the last two years but this year they are far back on the starting grind. This could be the year the ell-American fair returns to the Americans.

NDG Senators Opppse Dorval At Loyola Park Riding a five-game win streak off the Senators open a three-game stand at home Loyola Park tonight when they take on Dorval in the Montreal Junior Baseball League, v.

Paul Linstead of Montreal was fourth with 184 fdllowed by Harry Willsie of Montreal and David Miller of Pittsfield, tied for fifth with 179 each. Ed Bronish of Hampton, N.J., and Hugh Garland of Montreal tied for seventh with 177 each. Garland, Willsie, Laporte and Bob Walker of Montreal, won the team title, shattering 712 of 800 birds.

Alec Roma-gnoli of Montreal appeared to have i better chance of winning the title at the halfway point but was disqualified when Romagnoli did not appear for the-second day's shooting. All of the shooters used 12-gauge shotguns in the competition. Only 29 shooters entered the top international style event in contrast with the 300 expected Wednesday for the start of the Canadian and Quebec championships. The competition continues today with a special Expo 67 shoot for Centennial and Expo medals a warm up to the five-day Canadian and Quebec events. lOOAf AMP THSM APP OS 20 yaxp sewtAre ujurL voes jezxcij TMM CUCA ACCURACY.

Ed McLelland, head of sports for Expo 67, Monday struck back at United Kingdom critics of the fair's six-country soccer tournament scheduled June 3-11. British writers spoke of the tournament as a "confidence trick" and a "sophisticated con trick" and also said the English team was being sent to "the backwoods" as a duty to sell soccer to "the football illiterates of Montreal." McLelland said he was amazed that the London writers Laurie Pignonof the Daily Sketch and Brian James of the Daily Mail "should say something like that." McLelland said at no time has only one attempted to give impression that this is a clash of national teams. "We set out target on the best talent possible and I think we have come tip with six excellent teams."
