Writing to the Sporting Editor of the Toronto Star, W. C. Gilchrist says: Allow the feeble protests of an- other long-suffering football fan a little breathing space in your col- lums. You've asked how the Canadian Game can be improved, so without commenting on the uninteresting ex- hibition put up by Toronto and Mc- ill one week ago--Ilet's go. The only way our game can be made inteyesting from the spectator's viewpoint is by the adoption of the American style of football the most spectacular and satisfying game played, nemely, (1) the . forward pass, (2) running interference. Needless to say this recommenda- tion will meet with shocked and agonized protests from those patri- archal reactionaries who abhor everything "American," whether it is for their own good or not. Nevertheless, the forward pass, plus running interference would open up our game and banish forever the old "two bucks and a kick" and give football fans the sight of an occa- sional "offensive' in a football game, rather than the dull spectacle of two teams playing a defensive gam@. Really this is the whole root of all that is wrong to-day in Canadian football. Our teams continually punt on the first and second down, and it is common to see a team kick on the third down rather than take a chance on a one-yard advance which would give them yards. . Every time this happens--and one sees it scores of times in every game--it bears out my contention that our game is purely .a defensive proposition, with the victory an empty thing gained usually by the slow process of ex- changing punts until some one is tackled behind his own touch line. Compare this, it you will, with the soul-satisfying 40 or 50-yard dashes for touchdowns, where speed, dodg- ing ability, ruggedness and grit help to carry over the ball. What s! or but would revel in the sight, #nd; what, football player action, 's the Only Team. Toiday only one team in Canada can break away from a touchdown more than once in three games--that | team is Queen's, And, believe it or not, that little band of Presbyterian whirlwinds are the nearest {hing to an American style team that we have in this big dominion. The wiseacres who have hever wit- nessed American football and who sagely tell us it consists of massed plays, etc., and that a good Canadian halfback would run wild with inter- ference in front of him, are still with us, however, and it seems hardly possible that we will ever climb out of the rut, it would, however, be a wondertal tonic to our game if even only one} of the above additighs were made to our style of play, and running inter- ference made legitimate. 1 know there are many who claim that running Interference gives the ball cartier too much protection and that every time one of our good half- backs got the ball an uninteresting parade to the goal-line would follow. Conacher, for Instance. Well, there is just one convineing answer to that sort of an argument Lionel Conacher. "Still The Most For The Money TIMELY | Sometime ago Interest was stirred up by a statement supposed to have! been made by a prominent Toronto business man that golf was respon- sible for a great expenditure of time on the part of the business men of Canada. There are no statistics on! the subject, so the controversy can lead to no accurate conclusion. It is an indisputable fact, however, that a huge expenditure of money is being made upon the game of golf. A recent advertisement {in the Golfers' Magazine contains some as- tonishing figures regarding money spent on golf in the United States, It is calculated that the principal items of expenditure on golf in 1924 wi be as follows: $100,000,000 for dues. 100,000,000 for tires. 50,000,000 for goif apparel. 40,000,000 for caddies. 30,000,000 for golf balls. 25,000,000 for golf property. 25,000,000 for construction. 265,000,000 for club salaries. 25,000,000 for golf resort hotels. 20,000,000 for club house, 20,000,000 for travel, In addition, there is a further | $28,000,000 in half a dozen other di- rections all directly concerned with the game, making a total of nearly $500,000,000. The statement is made that .$1,000,000,000 will be spent by. golfers "on or because of golf alone" this year, The game of golf, it will be seen, ! has become a billion dollar industry. There are those, of course, who are! "yiewing with alarm" this vast ex- penditure of time and money on play, sometimes at the cost of busi- ness. But any Industry which in- volves so huge an expenditure and which brings such good physical re-, sults must be both good for trade 'and good for the nation. SOLD FOR FIFTY.
