THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1956 fiHE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN 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.
