How will the Rears fare against compe tition One and all will have answer Friday night when Roy Mid land team move in to Aurora arena for romp with the Hears Game time is pm Todays column could be entitled What Price Glory an old Ironic sports theme This Is the story of Jim Thorpe a great amateur winner of the Olympic decathlon and thongh know It by scanning official amateur handbooks and manuals a I tt I met the great Indian athlete the story of whose phenomenal Olympic feats were ruthlessly as if their presence there constitute an abomination This Wt of farfetched intolerance and bigotry was doubtless by churlish thought that with no printed record Thorpes greatness would soon be forgotten that later gearratioes would be unaware such an great ever existed I met Thorpe one night in Montreal He was trying then to eke out a living as manager of an Indian wrestler and professional promoters who owed him nothing except pity for his lowly estate were more kind to Thorpe than were those who hounded him from the ranks of amateurism For his wrestler was not a very good wrestler and didnt last very long But for a year he got employment at his trade for the sake of Jim Thorpe and his memories I asked Jim Thorpe if he thought he had been dealt with unfairly when his records were expunged from the official books It doesnt matter now he answered quietly But you could sense that here was an embittered man And that was all he would say about the loss of his trophies sent back to the men he had defeated fairly on Swedens Olympic field and the garrotting of his records It doesnt matter now I met him again only a few weeks ago In Jack New York restaurant He was but recently out of hospital and a great plaster covered lower Up hiding the marks of an operation for skin cancer He was shabbily dressed his hair unkempt as If he no longer cared though at that very moment a modern sports world was seeking to prove that Jim Thorpe been forgotten And he eon- ywwrrtew who had been dining wilh elastered round him seeking his auto I doubt they knew much if anything about him but the parents had said Thats Jim Thorpe and that a younger generation was interested enough to get auto graph made Jim Thorpe happy Jim is bitter his wife said he feels that his own generation forgot him He feels he was hardly dealt with Jim was truly an amateur when he won the Olympic honors an amateur in spirit He was indeed just an ignorant Indian boy off the reservation who had played baseball because he loved the game saw no harm in accepting a few dollars pay ment for his services He was an amateur in the Olympics Which had nothing to do with baseball lie feels bitter about being forced to return his trophies bitter that his records were deleted from the books It is to him as if he had never lived But Jim Thorpe hadnt been forgotten niter all Funds were started Dollar donations poured in For the present Jim Thorpe wont face poverty But What price glory Its a pitiful thing that the greatest athlete of the first halfcentury should be forced in his declining days to depend on charity for the very necessities of life Stranger Is that professional sport should feel impelled to rally Co the aid of a man whose greatest fame was achieved in amateur competition Theres something or mockery here What would make Jim Thorpe happier even than money we think would be to have his amateur status returned to him as a good- will gesture his Olympic records placed back In the official books Alter all how long can a mans sen tence last for a trivial technical offense Must It be a life sentence Or is the quality of completely unstrained and forfeit will ha Howe St Toronto mm it limited AMHMBUR0 Town Hall Newmarket FEB 2 17 Games Over 200 In Gash 150 Jack Pol 150 Protects
