REV, EARLE K. SMITH 'The Flying Parson' ioalls Grid Career By ALEX MORIN orratns (CP)--To see him ~ now, mild-mannered and serene in his book-lined study, it's hard © to believe Rev. Earle K. Smith ever stood off a whole football | team, ready to smash a chair over the head of the first man to come near him, Yet there wasn't one member of the Toronto Balmy Beach team. of 1927 who doubted for a bene = An og ig deboer any r any- body who tried to e a drop of demon rum downvéis throat. The team had just won the . Canadian champion: by de- . feating Hamilton Tigers 'and the boys thought I might have a drink with them just this once," Higgs Smith, the Beaches' fly- wing e didn't then, and hasn't since, The teetotalling divinity stu- dent at MeMaster University who went on to become a Bap- tist minister got along fine with his teammates."I had to prove to them that I was_ sincere. After that everything was fine." This doesn't mean, however, that he was always well-man- nered on the field, He. recalls with a smile the one time he became a "fighting parsor' _ and was expelled from a game against Camp Borden at Tor- onto's Varsity Stadium, 'LAID HIM OUT' "Jim Keith was playing next to me and we went downfield together affer the kick, Jim was ahead of me and tackled Dave Harding around the knees. Next thing I saw was Harding _-- Jim's head with his cleats. was so mad I saw red. I laid him out flat and got kicked! out." The. rub came later when Keith, one of the great outside wings of his day, confessed that the reason he was getting the! head massage was that he was pressing 'a painful knee twister on star halfback Harding. Smith, who turned 60 in Sep- tember and is only 11 pounds over his playing weight, has been minister of McPhail Me- morial Baptist. Church here for ll years. ee ; fee i mixing sports and liquor, he thinks it would be a good idea to mix more sports with the ministry. "The one criticism I have of some in the ministry is that they don't know how to talk to men. If a man curses and you shudder, the man feels rejected and the minister can't commu- nicate."" In that regard, sport was a great help to Smith. But five Although he's dead against years as an army chaplain was Smith's last hockey game was during the Second World War in England, "Afterwards I had pains in the side for a few days and eventually went to see the doctor. He told me I'd better start acting my age--I had a couple of cracked ribs." Smith likes the brand of foot- ball played in Canada today. 'T'd have to say it's a better game. But it isn't as much fun." In the '1920s the same men played both offence and defence "and 90 per cent of us were on 60 minutes; you got re- lief if you got hurt,' He says he thinks some of the players of his time would make the grade in today's game "but the two are hard to com- pare." In his day there was no forward pass, blocking wasn't | permitted more than three "a real post-graduate course. His career with Balmy Beach | lasted four years. His last sea-| son was 1928 when he played | yards beyond the line of scrim- mage and there was no huddle. PICKS REEVE There was no pay either. took out a $5,000 insur- ance policy on each of us in ease we were killed. Apart from that they paid our doctors' bills, "Since we were amateurs the most we could receive was a gift worth $35. Mind you, that looked like a lot of money to me. I was getting seven dollars a week for working four half- days in a wholesale ware- house." Of those he feels could make the grade today, he picks Ted Reeve as most likely choice. Reeve, Toronto Telegram sports columnist, was a star with the Balmy Beach team. "Reeve was such a nice chap but he could be the ugliest sight you've ever seen," Smith re- calls with a laugh. "He'd come to rugby practice after lacrosse with his face all bandaged and) would stand there with huge) varicose veins bulging out on| his legs. I don't know how he did it." MOST OUTSTANDING (TTT TATE TORONTO (CP) -- The choice of Canada's outstanding profes- sional football player has nar- rowed down to a two-man fight between halfback Dick Shatto of Toronto Argonauts and full- back Lovell Coleman of Calgary Stampeders. Shatto, ll-year veteran with Argonauts, was named the best in the East Wednesday night in a ballot of football writers and broadcasters in the Eastern Conference cities of Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. Coleman was named his coun- terpart in the West by voters from the Western Conference cities of Winnipeg, Regina, Cal- gary, Edmonton and Vancouver.

CHOSEN IN WEST Defensive half Larry Robin- son, also of the Stampeders and a product of minor football in Calgary, was chosen the out- standing Canadian in the West.
