world champion figureskaters youll find that just over a halfcentury ago this title was won by a Canadian the famous Louis And he won it in St Russia hasnt changed In a or so or even more Perhaps If theres any change it has been for the worse Over 50 years ago there was the glitter and the glory of St Petersburg then the capital that Vast domain There was the pomp and barbaric of the court of the Czars But beyond and show there was the poverty trie threat of the Nihilists There were the pogroms arid the purges Was the sullen suspicion even in high places Of strangers Louis a true amateur paid his own way to Russia lie arrived there at the day before the great meet to be skated on an openair rink with lavishly decorated boxes to be occupied by royalty centering the stands The inspected the great rink icesurface He checked the system and gradients under which he compete against champions of many countries Then he did a few practice spins on the skates of the day went to his hotel ate his supper and re tired to bed to rest up for the gruelling test of the next afternoon But his rest was brief At midnight there came a thun derous knocking oil his door and in heavy tunes fraught with menace he The So he opened his door ami there stood six huge Cossack police They gruffly ordered Dress and come with us Louis did lie was taken to Jail put in a cell locked up In the morning a plate of thick porridge was shoved through the door That was breakfast Ami now the world figure- skating title seemed far away Louis was frantic He demanded that he should see the British consul who Louis once told me was a giant of a man with bristling mustache overhanging eyebrows and piercing glance spoke sharply to the Russian captors lie didnt ask he demanded that Louis be released at once So in early afternoon our young Canadian was released but with one proviso He must be out of Russia within hours of the finish of the meet Meanwhile the Russians crafty then as now had secretly changed the system of competition Hut that didnt bother Louis He was a great skater under any system He whirled through the school figures faultlessly And when it came to the tree style lie swung in front of royal boxes and etched his own name deeply into the ice LOUIS CANADA There was no question about the victory The young Canadian with only a bowl of coarse porridge to support him was adjudged world champion Then he was rushed to the train and an hour or so after the meet was over he was on his way out of Russia and very glad of it So we guess Russia of years ago wasnt different to Russia today
