Tennis Canada officially begins a $1.5-million national
team program Monday.

Borrowing from the Swedes, who now have three of
the world's top 10 male players after giving their most
promising players the chance to travel full-time with a
coach, Tennis Canada plans to choose up to 16 players —
the best available under 21 — for a similar venture.

They will tour with John McManus, the newly hired
national touring coach, and between events will train at
the National Tennis Centre in Toronto (when its winter
facilities are completed) or at a regional centre.

FEDERAL SPORTS POOL

Why didn't it work?

MONTREAL (CP) — Why did the federal sports pool
fail? That's the $46-million question an inter-ministerial
committee will be asking itself as it begins the task of
unravelling the tangled affairs of the Canadian Sports Pool
Corp. which has just ceased operations

But the committee, formed by Otto Jelinek of Fitness
and Amateur Sport, John Crosbie of Justice and Jake Epp of
Health and Welfare may not have to look far to find out why
in five months of operation the pool lost $36 million (the
remaining $10 million will go to pay severence and leasing
agreements).

A former sports ministry consultant, an executive
assistant, a vice-president of the corporation and a ticket
wholesaler all say they know what killed the sports pool
polities.

“Their marketing studies were a joke, the people in
positions of responsibility were political friends who, with
few exceptions, knew nothing about the gaming business,”
said a media consultant to Jacques Olivier, the then-minister
of fitness and amateur sport.

And “the number one priority of the politicians was to

1,500 retailers from urban markets and a provincial lawsuit
challenging the legality of the pool by virtue of the 1979

agreement.
Paul Lamontagne,

executive assistant to Jacques

Olivier when he was minister responsible for the pool, said a
strong case can be made that the pool was a victim of con-

frontational politics.

“| think the confrontation with the provinces was
unavoidable,” Lamontagne said. “But I also think that we
had a right torun a pool, different from a lottery, without
interference from the provinces.”

But Jean-Marc Lafaille, president of Loto-Quebec and
chairman of the Interprovincial Lottery Corp., said the
sports pool wasn't a good product, adding that he never
believed for a moment the federal government would only be

content with a sports pool.

Lafaille referred to extensive research done by the
provincial lotteries which shows that pools in most countries
are the least popular of all betting schemes.

“They wouldn't have made money just with pools, they
would have to have gone on to other lottery-type schemes,”

he said.
Caught in

the confrontatjoual squeeze were the

hundreds of people who worked to set up the sports pool.
LOSES HIS JOB
“Don’t talk to me about politicians,” said one bitter but
hapless Quebec sports pool ticket wholesaler who once
before lost his job when Joe Clark shut down Loto-Canada.
“We were trying to run a business and the politicians
messed it all up.” he said, adding that although the pool's
wholesalers were paid a salary he wouldn't have survived if
he lived only on commissions, as is the case with provincial

ticket wholesalers.

A closing irony of the sports pool's demise, however,
came as the final draw for the pool's prize at the end of
September drew near: sports pool tickets were selling like

never before.

Masters Games
for ‘oldtimers’

TORONTO (CP) — Mav
reen O'Bryan is hoping to
usher in a breath of fresh air
to the world of sport when
the inaugural Masters Games
open in Toronto on Aug. 7.

10,000 competitors from
around the world, said
O'Bryan, who is president of
the Masters Games and its
board of governors.

O'Bryan, a former profes-
sor of physical and health ed-
ucation at the University of
Toronto and former presi
dent of the Sports Federation
of Canada, foresees a Games
that will be just as much a
festival, a happening, as an
athletic competition.

“We're looking at a diff
erent approach, a fresher
ideal,” O'Bryan said at a
news conference Friday
“What we're doing is provid
ing a different approach to
"

ideals and put it into some
balance — that's critical.”
And unlike the Olympics or
other large sports events, the
athletes will be

first three sea-
sons between Boston and the
minors.

In both 1962 and 1963, he
was brought up to the Bruins
for the playoffs and played
steadily, yet he would start
the next season in the
minors.

“They went with seven de-

ty Howe made it,” Meinyk
said. “Later I found out that
the reason was financial.
Hartford was paying his con-

tract, yet I had played in
front of Marty Howe in the
playoffs.”

Thus, when Melnyk was fi
nally traded last year and
went from Hershey to Monc
ton, the affection for Alpines
coach Larry Kish was im
mediate.

“In two weeks, he got me
to a state of shape and con
fidence ['d never had,” Mel
nyk said.

Edmonton then brought
Melnyk up to play six playoff

Stanley Cup.

ther fat children become fat
adults.

The researchers started
their study about 15 years
ago, when they selected 450
six-month-old infants in the
Berkeley area. Their “fat-
ness” — based on measure-
ments of skin fold thickness,
weight and other factors —
was measured regularly until
they were nine years old.

“We found that the chil-
dren who had been obese
six-month-olds or one-year-
olds were most likely not to
be obese at nine years,”
Shapiro said. “All (but one) of
the fat children thinned
down.

“The other thing we found
was that all of the children
who were obese at age nine
had not been obese as in
fants.”

If the researchers can pro-
cure additional funding from
the National Institute of
Child Health and Human De.
velopment, they hope to con.
tinue studying the children —
who are now 15 years old —
to determine if those who
were fat nine-year-olds are
obese when they reach adult
hood.
