Tiofllc ahots of a near-champion who has obviously let himself go to pot act the National Fitness Cam-pal en back 50 years. The only hurried face-saving conclusion that the fitness leaders can and will draw In this case Is that you don't have to be fit to be a golfer. This Is a reasonable surmise leading to a commendable truth. There Is undoubtedly more flab per arre on the averaso. golf course, particularly the private kind, than In any other matching recreational area.

This la a vital Matlstlc that should not only be condoned but also supported, as it Is cry happy flab. Of Mathews anil Satchel Demaret at 53 was pretty great down In Talm Springs, but doting contemporaries shouldn't really go overboard on the feat. Certainly, the British are not over-Impressed, and how could they, what with Stanley Mathews around? And there's a fine figure of a National Fitness Campaign poster-boy for you. Mathews, a whippet-lean right-winger who plays for First Division Stoke City, is now 49 years old, going on 30. If this confuses, I should mention that last season Mathews, then 4.

was picked as Britain's Football Player of the Year. This plainly indicates that he is growing younger instead of older. Mathews, who for nearly 32 years has been one of the great ones in British soccer, still is. He plans to play again next year when, if you go according to his birth-certlflcate, he will be fifty. And don't ring in that Jazz about the Ancient One Him-self Satchel Paige going at it in baseball until he was nigh on sixty.

Satch was a wonder all right, but all he ever did, in his own sweet Jargon, was "talked and throwed." Ami Rugby at Brockton It is quite likely that had Mathews been born say in Brooklyn instead of Blackpool he would have become baseball's first 75-year-old outfielder. Then there's this fellow Jim Treloar. And who is Jim Treloar, and who'd he ever beat? Well, to give him his full handle, the name is Dr. James E. Treloar, and he is a local medico.

There's not much of a book on whom he ever beat, if anyone, but here's the story: The other weekend he toddled down to a nearby park to watch a Second Division rugby game featuring a team called the Kats. On the Kats was a young player who was doing pretty good, but not good enough to impress the Doc. "Hey," he remarked, in essence, "You birds aren't so hot I could do as well myself." "Okay," said the young player, "so why don't you come out and show us?" The next Saturday whlbh was last weekend the Doc turned out and played at fullback as the Kats whipped the Georgians, 20 0. Said the team-manager afterward: "He was terrific. He never missed a tackle, and nobody got past him.

Of course, he's a regular now." And One OP Kal! The young player said: "Well, I'll be blowed." Which is a fine way to talk about your daddy. So now Mike Treloar, 22, and Dr. James Treloar, 51 (also 220 pounds) are the only father-son team combination in rugby, and there's a fine new trend for you. As the Kats' rookie fullback puts it: "A man is just as young as he tackles." And unlike Jimmy Demaret, whose gallant comeback splurge last weekend was probably Just a one-shot thing, Doc Treloar will be back at it next Saturday, and favored to surpass his last week's performance. Says the team manger: "I wish we had more like him." All this magnificent 51-year-old need do now Is "raise a beard and they'll be calling him the Kats' whiskers.

Encouraging, though, isn't it folks? By BRIAN rot'XD The B.C. Track and Field Association has given Its sanction for the Royal Canadian Legion-sponsored Junior Olympic Training Program and the un-sponsored B.C. Ag Class Championships to be held as one provincial track and field meet this summer. The meet, which will be held for three days at Richmond's Mlnoru Park in mid-August will be sponsored by the Richmond Track Club in coopCTwiion with the Legion, Richmond municipality, Richmond school board and the Richmond Recreation Commission. It will be the only track and field meet of Its kind In the country for athletes ranging from bantam to Junior ages.

More than 1,000 athletes are expected to compete In the 80vent program. There are currently over 30,000 youngsters from 22 B.C. centres who are eligible to try and reach the finals of the meet Zone elimination meets will begin in AprlL Between then and August 260 meets will take place to decide which athletes qualify for the various divisional finals. Two Richmond schools will house entries during the three days of the meet The JOTP and Age Class meets have been run as separate provincial finals for the past several years. B.C.

Track and Field Association members say the merger Is a major break through for the sport in this province. behind Russia. Marielle zoomed down the Lteum Valley slopes almost a mile at breakneck sped to win the slant slalom by 87 100th of a second. Shortly after she dropped her romantic bombshell with the announcement that she Wis "engaged" to a French skier, who denied It ALL A JOKE Then the plxle humor of the French Olympic champion came out. It was all a joke, said Marielle, who Is known as a practical Joker.

"It amuses me," she said when asked her motive. Apple-cheeked Marielle and Christine have been the skiing sensations of the Cames, now past the halfway mark. For the second time In three days Monday, the daughters of a hotel keeper won the gold and silver medals, the first sisters In Olympic history to periorm such a feat Saturday, Christine captured the gold medal In the special slalom and Marielle was second. Monday, It was Marlelle's turn to win. and Christine shared the second-place silver in the giant slalom with an American girl.

FAST TIME Marielle swung and swivelled down the lightning-fast course, drew a fine line through the 59 contrived gates and flashed home a winner In one minute, 52.21 seconds. Just a flicker of an eyelash separated Marielle and the silver medallists, Christine and Jean Saubert of the United States. Christine and Miss Saubert were clocked in identical times 1:53.11. The most disappointed of the 47 starters was Heidi Biebl of Germany who was disqualified for missing a gate after placing eighth. The Canadian team placed one of its four entries in the first 20.

Nancy Greene, Ottawa born stenographer who lives In Rossland, B.C. finished 16th in 1:57.76 about seconds behind Marielle. Nancy Holland of St Sau-veur des Monts, was 31st Linda Crutchfleld of Shawinigan, 32nd and Karen Dokka of Burnaby, B.C., 34th. For Miss Greene, it was an improvement of 10 placlngs over her performance in the 1960 Olympics. NORWAY WON Tormod Knutsen of Norway won the other gold medal awarded Monday.

The 32-year-old clerk with legs of steel piled up enough points in the two-event men's Nordic combined skiing to give his country its first gold medal of the Games. Nikolay Klselev of Russia grabbed the silver medal and defending champion Georg Thomas of Germany the bronze. While the skiers were winning additional glory in the hills and valleys of Llzum and Seefeld, the men figure skaters began their quest for a gold medal in the last of the three-figure-skating championships. Both medals Canada has won so far in the Games third-place bronze have come in the women singles and the pairs figure skating. In the men's singles Donald Knight, 16-year-old Grade 10 student of Dundas, Ont, was a surprising sixth after completion of the first two of five compulsory school figures.

Knight had 326.6 points, less than two points off fifth place. LED SKATERS Manfred Schnelldorfer of West Germany led the 24 skaters with 363.0 points. Karol Dlvln of Czechoslovakia was second with 352.9 and Alain Calmat of France, the favorite, third with 347.7. Canadian champion Dr. Charles Snelling of Welland, Ont, a physician who returned to international competition after a five-year absence, was 12th with 316.9 points and Billy Neale of Fort Erie, Ont, 16th with 300.9 points.

LA tfiai their fight for Ml' 2-5KXH fr At Forum tonight McNeill the charger iries luck on Bucks INNSBRUCK, Austria-Can ada's Olympic hockey team scored its fourth straight vic tory in the Olympic tourna ment Monday, and afterwards coach Father David Bauer was not his usual serene self. For the first time since the games started, Father Bauer had words about the referee- ing. In the opinion of some ob servers here, the refereelng has never been good. But Mon day's officiating was a bit too much for the priest-coach.

Shortly after the game end ed, with the Canadians 8-6 winners over the U.S. team, Father Bauer said: "I think It might be better 11 1 did not make any comments. But later, he told one report er: "ive never seen anything like It I just don't know what the referees are trying to do to us." And still later, the Father had regained his composure completely. He was relaxed, and said: "Look, I guess I'm City "writer out on bail INNSBRUCK (CP) Mike Sone, a Vancouver freelance sports writer, was released on bail after spending nearly 24 hours in jail on a charge of assaulting an Austrian police man at the Winter Olympic Games. Police said he is to be tried today.

Besides posting ball for an undisclosed amount, Sone also had to surrender his passport and Olympic press credentials to police. SCOREBOARD HOTKEY Central PrnfoMlonal Minneapolis 6, Cincinnati 4. Ontario Senior Oakvtlle 5, Gait 6. Saskatrhwan Senior Yorkton 6. Reglna 8.

Thunder Bay Senior Red Rock 5, Fort William 3. The referees Wlklng from Sweden and Isotalo from Fin land called 12 penalties In the third period of the game. Nine went to the Canadians. It seemed to many of the 11,500 at the arena that the referees failed too often to see the high sticking, spearing and slashing of the Americans. TLEASANT SURPRISE However, the Canadians did enjoy some familiar support.

As the team which trained at UBC skated on to the ice, the familiar strains of "Hail UBC floated down from the standing -room -only area. It was a trombone solo, played by Larry Reynolds of New Westminster. Later, Reynolds played "Three Blind Mice" for the benefit of the referees, and he was accorded enthusiastic vocal support from Louis Broome, Sherry Nesbitt, Barb Doherty and Mike Burns, all from Vancouver. The Canadian contingent did not have much to cheer about in the first period. American forward Jim Bestby scored at the 12 second mark, and the score was 3-1 for the U.S.

when the period ended. RAPID GOALS The second period was turn-about, and the Canadians demonstrated their superior skill. With Brian Conacher, Ray Cadieux, George Swarbrick, and little Roger Bourbonnais leading the attack, the Canucks scored six times in 16 minutes, while holding the Americans scoreless. The score was 8-4 until the final minute when the U.S. scored two quick goals.

The result put Canada at the top of the standings in the championship round. The Canadians' next game is Wednes day, against Finland, but now the talk here is about Friday and Saturday. On Friday, it's Canada versus Czechoslovakia; Saturday, Canada versus goal against U.S. fourth in the WHL, six points ahead of the Canucks. McNab Is hoping his charges will remember that they must catch the Bucks If they hope to make the playoffs.

In nine previous games this season, Bucks have won five, Canucks two and two have been even. McNab hastily points out that two of the Canucks' losses came in overtime. The Canuck coach may have a pleasant surprise for the Forum followers tonight. He mentioned that he might try McNeill with Phil Maloney and Danny Belisle. The combo should be a treat to watch.

England finished with 145 for two on the board, Mike Smith reaching 75 not out by the end of a game from which all competitive interest had gone. The first three tests in the five-game series now have all been drawn. India, resuming their second innings at 180 for two, sought quick runs In the morning and when they reached half an hour after lunch were 300 for seven. Late arrival on the Vancou ver Canucks, right winger Billy McNeill, was named the top player of last week in the Western Hockey League. Flying Billy scored two goals and assisted on four others in four games, and Canuck coach Max McNab has his fingers crossed.

He's hoping that McNeill can continue his scoring heroics tonight. For tonight, the last place Canucks meet Portland Buck- aroos at the Forum.

It was the second time McNeeley had been stopped In 37 pro fights. Floyd Patterson, then the heavyweight champion, stopped him in four rounds Dec. 14, 1961 in a title fight at Toronto. I'or an instant McNeeley protested to Dr. Schlff and tried to convince him to let the uneven bout continue.

Jones had dropped McNeeley in the fourth round but the ex-football player got up quickly and chased Jones without taking the required automatic eight-count. Referee Zach Clayton had to restrain Tom by grabbing him around the waist as the bell rang. Jones was In control all the way before a capacity crowd at the New York Coliseum. He led 5 0 in rounds on the cards of both judges Nick Gamboli and Frank Forbes. Referee Clayton had it 4-1, giving McNeeley the second round.

The AP card was 5-0..
