Th GAZETTE, Montreal, Mor, July 20, 1970 Ji frw im i era Another for Ron second Clarke mmmmm li SIS II More games page 11 EDINBURGH (Gazette) Long after he had showered and changed, Ron Clarke still wore a slightly strained smile that meant he was damned if anyone was going to know how he felt. "I'm not sorry," he said. "I didn't really think I'd get that close to this one and at any rate I ran a good 30 seconds better than I've done all year." Clarke, a dark-haired 33-year-old Australian, finished second Saturday in a 10,000 metre run that will not only remain as the focal point of 4 Bev Boys with monton taking the silver, and fourth-place Nancy Robertson of Pickering, just missing the bronze medal. The fourth Canadian victory came in the evening as Bill Mahony of New Westminster, B.C., won the men's 200-metre breastslroke. ANOTHER SILVER Ralph Hutton of Ocean Falls, B.C., who probably owns the biggest silver collection in Commonwealth Games history, chased Mike Wenden of Australia home in the 200 freestyle.

He had already joined in a second-place finish behind Wenden and his mates in Friday's 400 freestyle relay and has five silver medals from the 1966 Games in Jamaica. Australia also scored Saturday i the women's 100 breaststroke and 200 individual medley and capped the evening as 16-year-old Karen Moras broke her own world record by 6.55 seconds leading two team-mates to the finish ef the 800 freestyle in nine minutes 2.45 seconds. It was tional-class French-Canadian athletes increase." Charbonneau, here as an observer, said: "It must start in the schools. You must get the kids at age 10 or 12. "If the education program in general is lacking, it stands to reason physical education will be lacking.

This has been the picture but it is changing tremendously. CHOOSE CHRISTCHURCH Christchurch was chosen as the site of the 1974 Commonwealth Games Sunday night, giving New Zealand its second Games.

She had just won the gold medal for Games results, medals Rick Cuttell of Vancouver, one of three jumpers to clear 6-9, was placed fifth because of a greater number of unsuccessful attempts.

Carol Martin of Toronto, who won Lne bronze in the women's discus in 1966, made it two in a row with a 158-10 effort. Rosemary Payne of Scotland, whose husband, Howard, won the hammer throw while competing for England, was the discus winner with 177-8. Canada's foil team of Mag-dy Conyd of Vancouver and Gerry VViedel and Konrad Widmaier of Toronto had no trouble reaching the final but was unable to prevent a sixth consecutive English victory in the event. The Canadians placed third behind Australia. Jamie Paulson of Calgary and his doubles partner, Yves Pare of Montreal, put Canada within reach of two medals in badminton, Paulson reaching the semi-finals in the men's singles and combining with Pare to get to the same stage in men's doubles.

Hong Kong outclassed the other lawn-bowling foursomes by giving up only one loss and a tie in 13 games of round-robin competition. The Vancouver rink skipped by Tom Jarvis floundered after winning its first three starts and finished sixth with a 7-6 record. Joe Cooke, an 18-year-old bantamweight from North Vancouver, B.C., outpointed a Ugandan opponent and became the first Canadian boxer to reach the second round. Five of his teammates lost their first-round bouts and two others have not yet entered, the ring. Featherweight George Per-rin and lightweight George Newton gave England a total of three gold medals in four weight classes.

SUMMER SCHOOL Individual program Private tutoring College entrance preparation College Prep Academy Junior Senior Matriculation 374 Sherbrooke W. 288-3014 n73 if mi 4r, EDINBURGH (CP) -Canadian athletes, fish out of water in most other areas of competition, found their natural element in the Commonwealth Games pool Saturday.

The swimmers and divers, whose best previous showing was seven gold medals in the 1966 Games, snatched four in a single day in a saw-off with the powerful Australians and picked up two second-place silver medals for good measure. In a dozen events contested outside the pool, Canada won a silver medal in the men's high jump and third-place bronzes in the women's discus and men's team foil fencing. The day began with back-to-back victories by Angela Coughlan of Burlington, in the women's 100-metre freestyle and George Smith of Edmonton in the men's 400-metre individual medley. Beverly Boys of Pickering, who had led since the start' Friday's preliminaries, captured the women's springboard diving with teammate Liz Carruthers of Ed Commonwealth Games. "I didn't feel as confident of the -m as next week's tower competition before this started," Miss Boys said despite her 432.87-point total her highest ever in international competition.

Liz Carruthers of Edmonton picked up the silver for the Canadian team, but the threat of a clear sweep by Canada was doused when Australia's Gay Morley finished with 389.04 points four more than Nancy Robertson, who also lives in Pickering. Miss Carruthers scored 391.20. It was an emotional scene as all four girls were overcome by the tension. TEARS FLOW Miss Robertson was in tears because of her close loss, while Bev and Liz appeared uncertain whether they should cry because of their victory or in sympathy for their teammate. Miss Boys drew gasps from the crowd with the first of her three final dives a reverse IY2 somersault and the judges awarded her 53.82 points the highest of the competition.

She completed her performance with a forward llk somersault and a forward 1 somersault with two twists. Pierre Charbonneau of Montreal looked at the small number of French-Canadian athletes, participating in the 1970 Commonwealth Games and said Sunday that things will improve. Charbonneau is vice-president of the Quebec Sports Confederation, president of the Quebec Track and Field Association and special adviser to Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau on matters pertaining to the 1976 Olympic Games. "Sport in Quebec is linked closely to education," he said. "As education improves, so will the number of interna the first world mark to fall at the Games.

All winning times were au-t omatically Games records since it was the first time swimming and track events had been contested at metric distances. However, a brisk tail wind, beyond the allowable limit, made it impossible to establish official marks in the track sprints and short hurdle events. With four more victories to go with their five in the pool, the Aussies had nine gold medals after 24 events to England's seven and Canada's four. In unofficial point standings, based on a 10-5-4-3-2-1 count for the first six placings in final events, the countries were in the same order with 178 points for Australia, 131 for England, 102 for Canada and 50 for fourth-place Scotland. The Australian lead was bolstered Saturday by track and field victories in the women's 100 metres, men's high jump and 20-mile walk.

England carried off titles in the hammer throw, 110-metre hurdles, two weightlifting classes, and the men's team foils. Scotland produced winners in the men's 10,000 metres and women's discus. A Jamaican sprinter won the men's 100 metres and Hong Kong won its first gold medal in Commonwealth Games competition in the lawn bowling fours.

For anyone else it would have been a magnificent achievement. But beside being an outstanding race, Saturday "will be remembered because Clarke finished second again. THE BEST Clarke is considered the "greatest runner of the decade.

"He has held 17 world records and currently holds the world marks at two miles, three and miles, at 5,000 metres and at 10,000 metres. He has been the inspiration of runners all over the world and his ability 'is such. that he has become a while still competing. But like race driver Stirling Moss who never won a world championship, Ron Clarke never wen a gold medal in two British Commonwealth Games and two Olympics. i "I'm sick seeing this 1 chap pick up silver medals," said a bystander Saturday, but he won't -have to worry about seeing it again.

In a steady drizzle that scudded across the grey slate rooftops behind Meadowbank Stadium, Clarke ran his last major race. WILL RETIRE He is retiring after another in Scandinavia he says he promised his family because after all these years his heart isnt in it any more. He was starting to dislike training, he said, the 100 miles a week a distance runner must put in, and besides there' was a family he i would rather spend the time with and if it hadn't been for countryman Derek Clayton, a young, eager marathon runner who would drag him out each day to run, he would never have made it here to start with. And there was one more reason. THRILL IS GONE "Racing doesn't thrill me anymore," he said.

But on Saturday as the race wore on the caution with which he had steeled himself fagainst this last chance of the gold medal inevitably slipped away. After 8,000 metres and 1 22 minutes three of them I made the break and the pack was left behind. At 9,000 metres he was leading, matching strides with an old rival, Dick Taylor of England, with the only other runner, Scotland's Lachie Stewart, I dogging their heels. Then, with 200 metres to go, half a lap, Clarke made his move and surged past into the lead, satisfied the blistering last lap had killed off Stewart, StoriOinnQ wimi ivnuvjj unofficial standing by countries based on io s-4-3-2-1 traditional scor- ing system for the six finishers in -the ninth Commonwealth Games. 178 England 131 Jamaica 20 3 Hon apKong Trinidad 7 Pakistan 5 Northland Gambia 4 liL-i Man 3 V.

"I was sure Lachic had dropped off the lap before and I remember what a tremendous crowd cheering for me." But the screams of 28,500 Scots had been for Stewart and they had drowned out his footsteps as he followed Clarke past Taylor and then hurtled through with 60 yards to the tape as the Australian, after one final effort, pulled his head up and let him go. TOO LATE "When I saw him it was too late," he said quietly. "And, besides, I was running as fast as I could. I swore." Maybe if it had been 1966 Stewart wouldn't have been able to win, he mused. A fitter Clarke would have brushed off the Scot when he made the break with seven laps to go, the classic tactic of a 10,000.

"You have to kill off their sprint before they can use it," he explained. "Otherwise' if the pace is slow enough there's a hell of a scramble in the final sprint and anything can happen." IN LEE OF LEADERS But Stewart had clung to the two leaders when they broke, tucked in a yard behind them in a tactic somewhat scorned by top distance men. Even in the strong headwind Saturday on the back stretch, Clarke and Taylor had run side-by-side, step for step because neither would take the protection of the other. A long distance runner likes to win from up front where the work has to be done. "But there's no hard feelings," said Clarke.

"You race to win. I'd have been 'sitting' as well if I'd had the chance but if Dick and I had dropped the pace, Lachie wouldn't have picked it up and we'd have wound up back in the pack." NO HARD FEELINGS And at any rate, it was all over. At the finish he had waited for his old rival and Olympic champion Kenya's Naftali Temu who had finish-, ed weU back and he had thrown his arm around Temu's black shoulders in Consolation While he mastered his own bitterness, And Lachie Stewart, the giant-killer from a Glasgow dental hospital who trained all summer in his lunch hour, a man who has secretly ad- mired Clarke all his running "ife 3n( Wn0 0n 0UnC natural that the Australian COTldll't remember the two times they ran in the same race, jogged off the track holding the teddy bear mascot of the Scottish team.
