THE CANADIAN ORIENTEERING CHMFIONSHIPS - 1968

The first National Championships in orienteering were a giant step forward in Canada's bid to rake orienteering a recognized competitive sport in North America. Many factors contributed to the success of the meet and to the many benefits following the meet. Those features which are so vital to a successful orienteering experience: a quality map, a quality area, and quality courses, were beautifully demonstrated in this "Quality Meet". In this the initial growth period of the sport, standards must be set which will favourably influence the future development of the sport in Canada. The successes, aside from the personal attainments of the athletes,which arose out of that event were/national coverage in the Star V:eekly, national coverage on two occasions by C.S.C. Radio live interviews, full page covering by two large daily newspapers in Ottawa and Montreal, as welt as pre-race articles and follow-up articles by all the major news media in Ottawa and Montreallt Radio coverage was given for two weeks in advance by ten stations in Quebec and Ontario. These were "planned" successes, and every interested orienteer across the entire nation could have and hopefully did use this opportunity to put the word orienteering and the concept of the sport itself into the working knowledge of many thousands of Canadians. The usual successes of a competition which brings together fine athletes was complemented by the appearance of many orienteers who hod travelled considerable distance to compete in this National Event. The flags of our ten provinces and those of five nations fluttering in the breeze, gave this meet the "colour" necessary in important national and international events.

NOTES FROM THE CHA4PIONSHIF

- The weather was obsolutely perfect, clear and cool.

- John Disley was driven to the wrong starting area (by three miles) and had to run back and get reorganized - - he still won!

- Mr. Backstrom, a 73 years old Finn who was on holidays in Canada, read about the Canadian Championships on a poster in a sports store in Ottawa, phoned and said he would very much like to be present at Canada's first championships; so we got him a ride and he participated with all the excitement of a top competitor. He was still running on the hill up the "Mal" and finished 5th on the orange course.

- Frank Jorgensen much "under the weather" gave up medication and participated - though quite III, finished fourth.

Oa

- 3jorn Kjellstrom mentioned that the 3rd place team prize and medal were the first awards in orienteering which he had received in 25 years.

- In Sweden, they give "Wooden Spoons" to the last man out, this year a "Canadian" variation was introduced as Glen Morrali received "the bell" (on a red & white ribbon).

- Many competitors chose to run in higher classifications and on longer courses than they perhaps were prepared for. (Failure isn't fun, finishing is, pick a course if a choice is given that will be within your capabilities and that you wilt enjoy running on).

- Champions of the day: John Disley: Wyandotte Elite Men's annual trophy Fat Skene: Murray's Elite Ladies annual trophy Fhilip Cottel, Irene Jensen (Sr) Dow Plaques - Men's & Ladies .fiorre, BraStard (Jr) Seattle Mackenzie (Sp.Sr.) Medals Sill PUrveS, Toni Ramsay (Novice) Dow Flaques - Men's and Ladies Robert Harris (Novice Jr) Medals Joan and Bruce Glen, Experienced wayfarers: Dow Annual,trophy Steve Kaufman and Michael Kepron (Jr. viayfarers) Medals

and Sandra Seecroft (Novice Vayfarers) Medals

- One very small section of the map, unfortunately right at theAcest

control, turned out very black and; Cailsed confusion for many of the

senior runners.

DIRECTOR,::TE PROPOSED FOR THE NATIONAL BODY

The C.C.F. was previously "a ship without a crew" as it had never appointed a full state of directors since its application for charter, December 1, 1967. On August 17 1968, the first of two meetings (the 2nd in Guelph, August 28) was held in conjunction with the Canadian Championships, in Ottawa in the board room at the offices of the Royal Canadian Legion. 94 people have been accounted for at that meeting, 81 of whom participated, competitors or officials, in the events the following day. A dinner meeting was held before the general meeting and this group agreed upon a 13 man directorate representing five area divisions across Canada. A chart outlining the proportional organization of the directors and a system of working committees was presented to the general meeting. The divisions were set out as:

Ilestern 1 representative Central 1 representative Ontario 5 representatives Quebec 5 representatives Eastern 1 representative

Ragnar Axelsson, a competent orienteer from N.S. had already indicated that he would be willing to represent the Eastern division. Since there was essentially no organized competitive orienteering in Central or Western Canada, there were no participants at this pre-championship meeting and hence no

specific representation established.

Quebec's representatives named were: Chris Skene John Charlow Charles Srkal Frank Jorgensen Ray 'All

On August 28, during the Legion's National Sports Institute, the 2nd of the two proposed meetings was held. The meeting was well attended and included be-sides the representatives of the Ontario Orienteering Association, individuals from the Track & Field Clinic and other interested teachers and people involved in Fhysical Education. A discussion was held involving representations made at the first meeting. On the topic of whether a national organization was a necessity, a vote was taken whether to accept the C.O.F. and the proposals made. 38 voted to accept, 4 voted against. The reasons for voting against were given that it was felt the sport was not on a sound enough footing to go forward as a separate organization. The people who voted to accept were possibly swayed by the fact that a Canadian could not be represented at the World Championships unless these was a recognized national body exclusively for orienteering with membership in the International Orienteering Federation. 7-lie it kme-4- ✓

It was suggested by Mr. Alex Feepre that Patricia Skene continue in the position as Executive Secretary. He also thanked the Quebec group for their groundwork in setting up the skelcton for the national organization

APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIF IN THE I.O.F.

Although the C.O.F. had previously upelied for membership in the International Orienteering Federation, there had been no response chiefly because the organization was not sufficiently representative in the eyes of the I.O.F. Following the immensely coopenitive effort of the personalities involved in the organization of orienteering in Canada, the situation was vastly clarified. Based upon the outcome of two meetings in August, a letter was sent to the I.O.F. once again requesting Canada's acceptance into that organization. From an unofficial source (a friend who spoke with Inge Lowdin at the 14.1) we are to be welcomed as a member at the next conference (1969).

CLINICS

THE ROYAL CANADI/N LEGION'S SPORTS INSTITUTE - AUGUST 79-30

During this national clinic devoted mainly to the training of track and field coaches, John Disley ran a special section to develop advanced orienteering skills among the eight selected student coaches. Four were from Ontario and one from each of N.S., B.C., Alberta and the U.S.A.

Although the clinic is primarily concerned with the track and field events of running, jumping and throwing, every student coach participated in Alex Feepre's introductory orienteering section which included general orienteering skills and participation in a score-type event to provide them an encounter with the competitive feel of the sport.

After two and a half hours daily, the eight student coaches had competed on seven courses, had been exposed to four different maps, and were given some background as to how these maps were constructed. For all but two people this was their first experience at the sport, and they "had a ball". The C.G.F. participated, in that C.C.F. control markers were used, and two of the maps for the clinic were prepared by the C.O.F. Chris and Pat_Skene assisted John Disley by setting courses each day for the trainees. It is with high hopes that these student coaches will now return to their own "hinterlands" and organize the sport on acompetilive level there. - ( C . cirE,./e- nAhiF •-e- naps)

PROMOTIONAL'CLINIC - CARLETON U. AUGUST 13

TheC.O.F, ran an even:ing,;,clinic under the direction of Patricia Skene to introducelthepeople in Ottawa and surrounding area to orienteering. It was an ideal timas they then had the opportunity to participate in a race (The Canadia'i(Ohampionships). Many of those in attendance were from the Ottawa

;Yalley,fralcand,Field Club and the Upland's Harriers. Others arrived because of the,exce0ent,publicity that the Ottawa - news media gave the clinic and the championships. Everyone participated in a score orienteering race to

familiarize them with making quick decisions and orienting their maps to the terrain. Then training in cross-country technique was taught as a "situation learning experience" by teaching interpretation of "features" en route on a course. The clinic received a full page spread in the Ottawa Journal, so thousands more learned a Little about the sport even without attending. Robert Harris, a junior who posted the fastest clinic time, came out on top of the novice Junior Men at the Canadian Championships.

MOUNT ROYAL - JULY 3

48 orienteers, many of them with some experience, turned out for Jan Hansen's, Hans Johanson's and Frank Jorgensen's training session to brush up on their judgement of distance and speed by step counts on the flat, up hills, and in broken and rough country. Beginners were taught compass skills and contour evaluation, then a short cross-country orienteering race was held. This was a preparatory clinic for the Montreal and District Championships.

C.A.H.F-E.R. - SEeTEMBER 13-15 (Eastern)

The first of three clinics to be sponsored by C.A.H.P.E.R. was held in Mount Allison, N.3. with people from New Foundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick participating enthusiastically. Ragnar Axelsson (Eastern representative) reports that Alex Feepre who is directing these clinics had a very successful Maritime session. There is hope now that the Maritimes wilt be organized by next season, and will be holding some events. A contact has been made for each province in that division, now we hope they will be able to assist each other in developing their program.

C.A.H.F.E.R. - SEPTEMBER 28-29 (Western)

Calgary was the scene of the second clinic. ALL went well, although we have had no direct report to date as to what was attained. The Indian reservation just outside of Calgary near the airport was the area used for this clinic. The C.O.F. prepared the map used. C, tiii0e TIC til1P

C.I;.H.F.E.R. - OCTOBER 12-13 (Kingston)

The third clinic was held in conjunction with the Ontario Championships. This clinic had 25-30 people in attendance many of whom were the youngsters who were about to compete in the Ontario Championships. A very tough course in good orienteering country kept the inexperienced "out there" searching for 2-3 hours.

MACDONALD COLLEGE - SEFTEMBER 14

Alois Voitchovsky borrowed the C.O.A.'s compasses and maps for an initiation to his track and field group. The Fierrefond North Club enjoyed it very well, and turned out en masse to the final four scheduled Quebec races.

FILM ;;PICN AND LECTURES GIVEN OCTOBER 10 and 16

The Scout venturers (Dorval) requested an evening of information on competitive orienteering and were well pleased to be addressed and instructed in the new sport of orienteering.

Likewise, the Geographical Society at McGill requested a Lunch hour talk and - 4 -ec::on period to precede what they hoped to be a day of orienteering at

Mt: St. Hilaire.

For the interests of history, the MADOC (Montreal and District Orienteering Championships), for one instance, was held on September 10, 1967. The Montreal Orienteering Club is not even sure that the "IM4000" was the first Championships, as orienteering did go,on over sixty yours ago, in the Gatineau.

THE 0 1 R1NG WET - e "REALLY 31G RACE"

FoVthe uninformed, this is the largest, most challenging meet in orienteering. This year, close to 3800 competitors from 11 countries competed during the five day-five race event. Each race area had about 160 control points set (approximately 800 in the 5 days). You have to see the smooth operation of these races to believe it. The Swedes seem to be infallible, but perhaps it stems from the fact that only the cream of their orienteering cognoscenti are involved in the administration and organization of the world's best meet.

This meet was used by most countries to choose their ' orld Competition Teams. The 3ritish sent 52 runners, and all returned vastly more experienced, with the top Britain, Mike - ells-Cole in 43rd place in the Senior A-111 Men. Their chances were greater in this classification than in the Elite Class, where all the National and District Champions compete - -. The top 3ritish girl was Carol McNeill who wrote that she placed 52 out of 105 in the Senior Ladies ... she is an exceptionally steady comp4titor.

:'.inners in the 30 classifications would take considerable listing, but Scandinavians were outstanding in all events.

THE "ORLD CHAMTIONSHIFS SEPTEWER 28-29/68

The Swedish Government issued a special "Orienteering Stamp" to commemorate the occasion, as the location of the second VeM was in Sweden, near Linkoping. There was also a special tYM first day date print for this rare happening, and this office is fortunate enough to have been mailed a note on the day of the event. Thirteen countries, all members of the 1.0.F. participated, while Russia, Foland, and the U.S.A. sent observers. Only Canada was conspicuous by her absence - - that is whet every Letter coming into this office has emphatically stated. They truly wanted to see competitors again this year in the European events.

Two wonderful Swedish quality maps were used, one for the relay events, and one for the individual courses. Since not more than 10 runners competed from each country, this was a relatively small meet when compared with a meet such as the O'Ring. There were 8 control points on the Elite Ladies course, and 12 on the Elite Ken's course (only four of these points were not common to both courses). There were four men's classifications and three ladies classifications; in total, there were 30 controt points set and four start Locations for seven classifications.

The relay events for men and women had a common start but only the last three controls were the same points. Out of all the colour and pagentry, the Swedes emerged supreme, by capturing both the Elite titles. As expected, Ulla Lindkvist won the Ladies laurels, and a not unknown Karl Johansson copped the Men's title over Sture 3jork, also Swedish. The best English girl was Sue 3one, who placed 30th, and took exactly twice as long to finish the course as Ulla. Also the English teams best man was Geoff Peck in 19th place, but in a classification

other than Elite as far as we know. Their teams finished ahead of Belgium, Bulgaria, WestGermany and Austria, and the girls even placed ahead of the East Germans. The Swiss did remarkably well, placing just behind the Scandinavian countries.

$500 OFFERED TO SEND CANADIAN AN TEAM

Bjorn Kjellstrom of Silva Ltd, had most kindly offered $500 to send a man and a woman to the '-orld Championships (Sweden Sept. 28-29). The concensus was that at this time, the money could be better invested in the development of orienteering in Canada, or perhaps offered in the future to assist orienteers to obtain a more extensive orienteering exposure such as will be available with the combination of the Euro- ✓ eet (3 days) and the O'Ring meet (5 days), next July in Europe. The WM is a one day event for individual runners while the second day-is for the relay teams. It would have been a considerable expense to any person attending this race just for the one day effort. Since there was no unanimous enthusiasm exhibited toward this offer, it was let stand as it was made with the hopes that the money will be made available to the C.C.F. for the good use it can be put to.

EURO-MEETING 1969

The Belgium Orienteering Federation is hosting the 1969 Euro-Meet, and Canada is invited to send a team. The dates have been released as taking place from July 1 to 6 and it will be based in Spa (150 Km from Brussels). There are three races during this meet and the rest of the time is very nicely organized into sight-seeing trips and outings with the different teams. A very pleasant experience indeed, Usually on:y one city from each country is invited, and they compete for the honors. This meet alternates with the '.'arid Championships every other year.

IN THE NE- iS fouraec)

At the end of a 5 month, 17 race schedule, the r.O.A. executive and members are feeling very proud and happy with this season's race program. The final race of the season on October 20 brought the number of orienteers who participated during this year to 1,035 individuals, nearly three times the number that competed in the 13 meets held last year. Including the clinics, Lectures, and general meetings held this season, the figure rises to over 2,000 Cuebecers who have had some form of concentrated exposure to orienteering this season. The C.O.A. is now actively planning to extend its field of operations further throughout Cuebec for next season. Through staging the Canadian Championships at Hull-Ottawa, we found that interest has been sustained by many of that area's competitors who have travelled to the Montreal area for the remaining races of

this season.

Besides a general meeting to elect new officers for the 59 season, there will be a cross-country ski orienteering race to be held this 1/.'inter in the Laurentians. (We may even invite the snow-shoers to participate in this one).

GENERAL METING - JUNE 26/68

55 orienteers turned out for an interesting evening of orienteering "chalk talk", films and discussion. Frank Jorgensen led the chalk talk with maps, diagrams and tips on "How" to run a better race.

At this meeting, the members indicated that a General Meeting of orienteers was necessary to discuss Canadian Crienteering Affairs, and suggested that the evening before the Canadian Championships would be the ideal time, as Likely anyone interested in orienteering would be attending the national championships. The members were informed that the executive had moved to join the Federation of Sports in Quebec. It is believed that some assistance from the provincial Government might be available through this medium.

The entertainment committee had not counted upon a few slides to be the highlight of the evening, but from the burst of laughter at what was intended to be a serious display of European race organization, slides of shower and toilet accommodations proved an amusing highlight .611..he evening.

POT LUCK SUFFER - SAT. OCT. 19/68

For those orienteers who decided to "try their luck" at the "Pot Luck Supper" they likely all came away at least a pound heavier. The assortment turned into a banquet, and everything was delicious. It was a lot of fun, and it was mentioned by the seniors that they had never had an opportunity to really meet and appreciate some of our well mannered juniors.

IN THE Nr ∎S - (ONTARIO)

GENERAL kEETING - OCT. 13/68

The Queen's University Gym building was the locution for an C.C.A. general meeting. This meeting was closed to Ontario orienteers who were there to attend the Ontario Championships the following day. No summary has: been forwarded to this office, but we believe that a tentative race schedule was drawn up for the 1969 season. This will be a tremendous step forward for Cntario if a race program 1s. to be initiated next season.

FLAG ORDERS

There is some indication from both B.C. and N.S. that orienteering will go on there either this '' 'inter or next season, as both regions have had one request each for an order of control flags - a good indication of intent

1N THE NreS LETTERS

CHARLES SCHULZ (creator and cartoonist for Peanuts - "Snoopy" and Char*YEtrown) wrote personally that he appreciated the materials and book on orienteering which the C.C.F. had sent him, but felt that the idea of orienteering seemed a little too complicated to serve as a story base for "Snoopy". 'ee will try again, as we feel that if "Snoopy" went out searching for an orienteering flag just once, Orienteering would be a household word in every home in North America (and probably in the world, as he is reproduced in nearly every language). (Perhaps Schulz will have to have an orienteering experience himself before he would be "close enough" to the subject to do a strip on it)... we'll keep inviting him. After all, Cuebec has awarded a "Great eumkin's" trophy to the most sincere orianteer (the last one to finish at the (•uebuc Championships), for the two years that the event has been held... perhaps one day Schulz will come to award the prize.

ONALMAR BACKSTROM (the 73 years old Finnish gentleman who was still running on the "Mal" at the Canadian Championships) wrote to say that he has been speaking with orienteering officials about our meet, and that "Suunnistaja" (a twice mon .gly paper on orienteering) will do something on the Canadian Championships. He also wished to extend his appreciation to all the Canadians at the meet who made his day so very worthwhile, and so much fun.

The relay sticks were self chosen, and the winning mans relay team the "Hippies" (which showed three fat Hippos) carried the message: "If you want to be a belly dancer, you'll have to have your belly--button recapped".

Amid the fun and enjoyment of the meet there was a good display of exceptional orienteering skill at all levels. The maps were good and the Location was perfect for the two-day race. The weather co-operated to be beautiful for running - cool and clear.

October 14, Kingston, Ont.

ONTAR/0 Summer weather gre ted the orienteers for this meet +75 0 . Administration was handled by Cueen's University organizers and was done very smoothly and efficiently. The Glen Lawrince Golf and Country Club presented a very picturesque setting for the event. Amongst all the Kudoes, the criticism voiced were the insufficient use of forest cover and limited choice of route.

The sixty-five orienteers who turned out for the season's last scheduled meet, were greeted by perfect weather and "leafless" bush - - this made the running very pleasant. The sounds of gun shots rather disturbed the competitors, and brought up once again the fact that the orienteer finds himself sharing "bush space" with the hunters after the end of Sept.

ATHLETIC CLOTHING - FO ERSUITS

Functional clothing is always an asset to an athlete, whether he be a skier, a track and field type, or an orienteer.

In orienteering, there is a special reason why tight, cowelortable tough clothing is in order. The orienteer does not want added weight if he gets soaked (either from the weather, or in a deeper than expected marsh). It is important that he be unencumbered by what he has on, but it should also protect him from branches and snaos.

The "Powersuits" advertised, have been specially developed to meet these requirements, and they make very good training suits) for all types of athletics. (May be bought with either a zip or smock jacket). Fonts come with zip leg cuffs. Suits may be had in all sizes and colours of cobalt (blue), white, red, forest green, brown.

Kompassrosen shoes (also advertised) are extremely light and are unaffected by water and "mudding it". Made of a special nylon reinforced plastic, they cannot be torn by sharp rocks, brunches, bard-wire, etc. Immensely popular with cross-country runners in England who have observed the sure-footed capability of t.;e orienteers, they prove their worth . and durability the first time out.

The other important function that an orienteer's outfit must meet is "washability". Both the Kompassrosen shoes and the Fowersuits dry extremely 7uickly and are very easy to keep clean.

DIALOGUE

Don't talk orienteering, unless you mean orienteering, then orienteer, don't talk! (16th Century, Anonymous).

The Canadian Orienteering Federation and its member associations are concerned with t/7:-: deve/opmert of a COMPETITIVE sport, Orienteering, and not with other forms of non-comoatitive map and compass exercises occupying the vast numbers of hunters, scouts, girl guides etc. We will try to interest them in

our sport, but we will net be the vehicle to train and teach them compass and map skills solely to enable them to pass some proficiency test... We want orienteers who participate, w.'3o run or walk against a clock, who compete in meets regularly, who cor;:e ar,. individuals, and are not brought in groups only to gain

experience for their next cward, etc., and we want instructors and coaches also to compete so that they will be able to continue setting interesting and demanding courses.

siDrienteering is = competitive, four-dimensional sport. It takes in the three dimensions of movement (forward, lateral, and climbing) plus the fourth dimension, TIME. If any one of these dimensions is lacking, it becomes

ro:nething else, not orienteering. If time is lacking, it becomes a non- cmpetitive exercise of simply "getting somewhere"ft If the need for climbing or avoidance of obstab/es such as hills, marshes etc„ - is lacking, it becomes cross-country running, not orienteeing. The essential ingredients of the sport are that each of these dimensions has to be present, has to be a variable to some

degree determined by the individual, and it has to be competitive, THEN it is

orienteering. Othe•than that, it is exercise only. Orienteering 7-7-a complete and separate type of sport experience and to maintain the excellence of this

experiente, course setters should ensure that each of their courses is not justa cros s .aOuntry run for their harriers'(they can do that in'their own races) not a "240° north for 80 .step and:a'127 6 East for 200 steps" '(parking Lot problem) nor just exercise, competitive'or ..not..

AN EAR1E STORY

An orienteer Developed an ear That had a good sense of direction, When he sallied forth,

The ear pointed North, Minus magnetic deflection.

In secret he ran, This fortunate man, In alt the most difficult places And then he appeared, Head twisted, North-eared, To walk off with all the top races.

Wherever he went, His unusual bent Greeted enormous surprises, 4nd nobody knew, His ear pulled him through To win all the very best prizes.

The top men be Licked, And so he was picked, To run on the Notional Team And in Finland's woods, He sure was the goods, 'til cupid came up with a scheme.

To take the world crown, Back to his home town, Was his one and only desire,

But twimt 4 and 5, His ear took a dive, And he was then lost in the mire.

He wandered for hours, Midst brambles and flowers, 'til a beautiful. girl caught his eye •twas Ingrid, the Swede, Who'd taken the Lead, And Lost it, but could not say why.

Now she had for years, Nursed one of her ears, To give her a southwards deflection, So when she was near, Our man's North-bound ear, It killed each one's sense of direction.

And so they came in, Locked chin to chin, And ears snuggled tightly together, They married next day, In a church by the bay, And might have live happy for ever.

But Twins were then born, One bright Summer's morn, i;nd each had a magnetic ear, One just like mother, Northbound the other, And so they have problems severe.

It's simple you see, They cannot agree, And really it is a disgrace, But if one's not near, His twin brother's ear, Each falls down flat on his face!

So runners take heed,

Of me and my Swede, And if you'd avoid family trouble, Remember it's found, That an ear to the ground, Gets fitted up with worms, bugs and rubble.
