in national poll -

TORONTO (CP) — Bruce Kidd, a keen 18-year-
old whose spikes kicked dust into. the faces of some
of the top middle-distance runners of North America
and Europe, is: Canada’ S outstanding male athlete for
1961.

The crew-cut youngster, who
graduated from high school in
Toronto with honors last sum-
mer, nailed down the honor in
the 27th annual Canadian Press
year-end sports poll. The selec-
tors—the country’s sports edi-
tors and broadcasters—remem-
bered -the youth who hit the
big. time, 11 months ago ‘and
emerged as its ‘most exciting per-
former.

He competed in meets from
New York to California, a green
i kid: who made tactical mistakes
‘through inexperience, but who
learned his’ lessons fast. His
name spelled - box-office wher-

 

a sensation.

Invitations followed,
with offers of athletic scholar-
ships from sports directors of -
more than 20 American colleges |
who realized that. here was the’
boy who. could revive.

From Boston, te was on “to!

American and European ob-
'servers predicted a bright fur
‘ture: for him. Even Canadians,
who had stubbornly refused to
i become excited over .Canadian-
born. track athletes, began to
wonder if they had a super- -star
in their midst.

BOOM BOOM SECOND

“CP poll voters pushed him. to
the top over seasoned veterans
such as -Bernie (Boom Boom)
Geoffrion ‘and | Bernie Faloney.
Geoffrion was a close second
and Faloney © a distant third.

The selectors were asked. to
name the three individual per-
formers among men, in order of
preference, and 39 of the 73 who
cast, ballots made Kidd their
first choice. Geoffrion, 30-year-
old right- winger with Montreal
Canadiens who equalled retired
teammate Maurice Richard’s re-
cord of 50 goals over the regular
National Hockey League sScason,
caught the eye of 23 others.

Faloney, much- maligned quar-
terback with Hamilton . Tigers-
Cats in 1960, answered his crit-
ics with a sparkling 1961 sea-
son that hoisted Ticats from an
also-ran in the Eastern. Foot-

Computed on a 3-2-1 . basis,
Kidd received 145 points against | -

Twenty-four others were men-

sprinter Harry Jerome of Van-
