THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1956 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEI
Letter from Melbourne
... by ed gaguier
As Written to JIM BAAD
Before he left for Melbourne with the Canadian Olympic Team,
Michigan's master gymnast, Ed Gagnier, gave his solemn promise that
he would not forget The Daily.
After an anxious week the promise has been fulfilled with a
seven-page airmail letter crammed with on-the-spot information
Since the whole thing can not be reprinted, owing to lack of space,
the more interesting excerpts have been extracted..
Gagnier was asked if he would send some impressions of the Rus-
sian team once he had settled down at Olympic Village and here is
what he has to say:
"There are about 6000 athletes here now and we're all one big
happy family. The friendliest people in the Village are the Russians.
They are not able to speak English but they are still mixing with
everyone here and having a great time.
"I have been able to develop personal friendships with two of
the Russian gymnasts and they have certainly helped me in gaining
an added outlook on their country.
"Mr. Newman, my gymnastics coach at the games, can speak
Russian quite well. The other evening while in the recreation room
hall he spoke to a Russian diver for nearly three hours. The Russian
was very friendly and the discussion centered on living conditions in
each other's countries.
"Mr. Newman asked the Russian the following questions: 'How
long would one have to work in Russia for a pound of butter?' The
answer was about one-half an
hour. Next question was, 'How long
it would take to earn enough
money to buy a new automobile?'.
The reply was nine months.
"Mr. Newman then asked the
Russian if he was ordered to act
any special way while in the
Olympic Village. The Russian said
f: ....that he had received no orders and
that ,he (and the whole Russian
a team) had been given the freedom
of the Village and could do any-
thing they wished.
"The next question was, 'Could
the Russians leave their country
on their own?' The answer was
yes! When questioned as to why
so few did leave, the Russian re-
8 > plied that when his country's
ED GAGNIER money was changed to American
"one happy family" dollars one could not afford to
leave."
Switching subjects, Gagnier writes: "Getting back to the condi-
tions in the Village, we all have a big complaint about the weather.
The temperature is between 40 and 50 degrees most of the time and
it manages to rain at least once a day.
"The athletes that are having the most trouble working out are
those that can only train outdoors' Another disadvantage is that the
areas in which we are assigned to practice are spread out all over
the city of Melbourne. It sometimes takes as long as an hour to reach
our destination. We have special buses at our disposal, however.
"All the facilities and equipment here are first class. The food
is wonderful and there is no limit to how much we can eat.
"A final note of interest is that the seats to the swimming com-
petition are all sold out. (Gagnier's letter was written Nov. 22.) The
situation is so bad that only four athletes from each country will be
admitted to see the swimming in order to allow more seats for the
public.
"It's a beautiful pool, but it only seats 5,500 people. Crowds as
large as 5,000 who couldn't get tickets have been crowding into the
pool each day just to watch the athletes practice."

... Olympic second
The Soviets' spurt came at a
time when American Olympic of-
ficials were saying that the Rus-
sians apparently were "over 'the
hill."
The Americans still lead Russia
301-214 points in the unofficial
team race.
The Yanks figured to strengthen
their position by winning the 400-
meter race with Jones, of New
Rochelle, N. Y., and taking a
strong lead in the first half of the
exhausting decathlon, which con-
cludes Friday.
Decathlon Sweep?
Rafer Johnson, of Kingsburg,
Calif., has picked himself to win
the decathlon despite a knee in-
jury and he tries to take a lead
Thursday in the 100-meter dash,
shot put, high jump, broad jump
and 400-meter run.
America has a good chance to
score its fifth sweep of the games
