This is apparently an old and sore issue, one that been haggled over and buck-passed for years, This city could and would support junior football on a very large scale if there were some lace to sit and see, the game, At present there is no such place, yet {300 people turned out to see one of the Red Raider games even though they had to stand around the field in "columns of bunches" like spectators at the scene of an accident, Without some sort of an enclosed stadium are no seats, there is no ticket selling and there is none of that e fan support necessary for a strong growth of the game, The reasons for this city not being able to construct such a building now are fairly clear--material shortages and expense, This however does not explain the past inactivity nor does it clear the air. The city hopes to put in showers and rooms at Alexandra Park and maybe a temporary fence, but what is really important is, has this city made any real, considered plans for contruction, a soon as' possible, of an enclosed stadium, that is » stadium and not a reconverted race track. Does it plan for an expanding ' population and in increasingly sports-conscious youth, or does it just hope for the best? * Ld Ld + " Let us return to the remains of the banquet. afterwards, was, as always, where we learned a lot of things ard heard a lot of interesting discussions about football, Regarding the game today, Teddy was cagey--officially that is--"Don't be giving any 2-1 money," he warned, "They've got a good club, those Beaches." Once the talk loosened up and became "football talk", the little of the Argos intimated that he felt perhaps, with luck, his team could win, He was in fact a little more defini "We'll still win tomorrow, if we continue to play the way we yed lately." There you have it--that"s what the man sald, Argos to win. Who ts to make a little bet? We'll hold the money. We understand es call Edwards to hold Krol. What has Mr, Morris to t?" "Krol isn't the whole team," according to the coach, player, but there are others--Copeland, who Teddy says, Krol, and Levantis and so on. So there you are, Take . We understand it lies between brains and brawn in this with the edge on the brainy ones with brawn, Let us say wish Mr, Morris and Co, luck.

It should be an interesting battle especially with so many old familiar players back fighting for their home-town, All members of the Canadian Legion here have been given complementary tickets for the game and cadets of all branches will march to the Arena.

Played in the usual late-season cold and with the usual crushing final- ity, it would leave much the same aches antl bruises to be nursed--to- morrow, when bodies thawed out. The picture, repeated so often, was easy to forecast, But it lacked essential detail, There remained yet the features of these big men and little men in heavily-padded clothes to be filled in and that re- mained for the scoreboard at Vars- ity Stadium to do, It could be Toronto Balmy Beach, a team hungry to go on for a crack at Winnipeg Blue Bombers and a chance at their first Domiglon title since 1030, or it could be Toronto Argonauts, a team saturated with successes yet eager just the same. The odds, as the betting men quoted them, favored the Dominion cham- on Argos, Little remained to be sald about these two teams as they took the fleld, Both tapered off with the lightest of light workouts last night | following a week in which neihter introduced bodily contact into prac- tices for fear a quirk of fate might see a key man injured. Both started at full strength, The weatherman still may have a word to add, though, Already he had promised snappy cold weath= er and, if this should be accomp- anled by blustery winds, it might enhance the chances of the heavy Beach team against the slingshot arm of big Joe Krol, The Beach went into the battle on their Ontario rugby football layoff record as a team that "can't Pe beaten;" but whether this would hold up agaainst the seemingly in- vincible Big Four champions re- mained to be decided. The betting men were wagering 2-1 and higher it wouldn't, al- though there seemed strangely little of this money around for those seeking the long chance on the Beach. The experts, fearless as usual, would forecast the score of this game for you even before it started, Nothing to nothing -- before the game started, that is. 8,000 WATCH _CARNERA Chicago, Nov. 23--(AP)--A crowd of 8,000 paid $17,625 to watch Primo Carnera defeat Friedrich Von Schacht of Milwaukee last night in the first wrestling exhibition at Chiago Stadium In eight years. It was the glant Italian's 70th conse- cutive pro wrestling victory since starting a Canada-United States tour last fall. Las: Roundup Nears For Great Bucking Horse By MATT R. KRAMER Portland, Ore, Nov, 23--(AP)-- There is a Canadian horse called Pive Minutes to Midnight and when he went into retirement recently, it was at a public ceremony before 10,- This small, shaggy, dark-7horse had one credo: "If it's on my back, it's got to be bucked off." Most western horsemen say there never has been such a bucker, Por better than two decades cow- hands have been trying to stay aboard him. Owner Verne Elliott, Platteville, Colo, estimates better than 2,000 tried. He says that 14 succeeded for the required 10 secc- onds, Few of these still were up at 11 seconds. And even fewer at 12, El- liott adds that even the 14 who made it once were pitched off on other rides, "He's the greatest I've ever seen," says Elliott, who runs a string of buckers for rodeos from Madison Bquare Garden to the west coast, and has seen them all for more than 20 years, "But he wasn't the most danger- ous," Elliott continues. He gives that honor to Midnight, a feared man- killer of early rodeo days, whose grave on Elliott's ranch is virtually & cowboy shrine, "You can lead Five Minutes to Midnight around like a pup, just so long as no one tries to get on his back," Elliott says. "But I never saw another horse that could put so much into bucking. Only 14 Hands "'Tain't his size, He stands only 14 hands. Average bucker is at least 15 hands, weighs 1,000, maybe 1,300 pounds, Five, .he was only 1,040 at top now he's about 975. ' "He's always been skittish and wild, Not mean, you know, Just wild, He's hurt hardly a one of his riders, Lets them down easy, sort of, But he never could stand any- thing on his back." Elliott first heard of Five In 1024, It was a story from Canada--of a wild horse, bought for $3, who was pitching all comers out of the lot. In 1027 Elliott bought him at Cal- gary. He named him after the great Midnight, Then started Five's tours. He scattered cowboys from here to London, appearing in every major show a number of times, The Lon- don appearance perhaps was his biggest sensation, for they'd never seen such a horse, Few Americans have either, W. T, Johnson, 8an Antonio, Tex. oace offered $10,000 for him---a record for a bucker, Elliott refused it, but promptly insured Five for $5,000, also a record. For 10 years Five travelled with Elliott, bucking them off, Plus the three years he bucked in Canada, that makes 22 years--a long time to be a champion. Now Five gces on pension for life--the run of the El- liott ranch at Platteville; soft, green grass when he wants it and grain when. his now-ailing teeth can't handle grass. But a great horse requires a final tribute, So they brought Five to the Pacific International Livestock ex« position here for a farewell cere- mony, Fights Last Night | By The Associated Press Halifax--Roger Whynott, 147, Mahone Bay, N8, outpointed Joe Pyle, 14215, New Waterford, N.S, (10) (Maritimes wellerwalgt ti Ble bout), , Sudbury, Harry Marshall, 140, Windsor, outpointed John Vardy, 138, Detroit (4). Clubs Honored With Presence of Morris And Selkirk -- Came Right From Crucial Argo Practice -- Park Equipment Expected by Next Spring Featured by the announcement of the new Argo football school for Oshawa by thelr famed coach Teddy Morris, the banquet of the Oshawa Pootball Association held in the Blue Room of the Hotel Gen- osha last night was a marked suc- cess, Generously taking time out from their busy schedule on the night before the crucial game for the Eastern Canadian Finals, both Ted- dy Morris and manager Earl Sel- kirk told the members of the junior and intermediate Red Raiders pres- ent, that they were at their service in the Interests of more and better football, Ted said that he and some of his best players, Joe Krol, Royal Copeland, Steve Levantis and so on would come down here next spring for any number of days to help any lads who want to learn the funda- mentals §f the game and who want to develop their ability at the game. Big Business "Rugby is on the verge of becom- ing big business here in Oshawa," Morris sald, and they wanted to get this enthusiasm for the game stir- red up, Earl Selkirk added that the Argos were "not interested in grab- bing a boy here and there, but to get football interest going." Along with several speakers be- fore him, Mr. Selkirk emphasized the need for a closed stadium !n this city for without this the boys "become interested in every other thing but sport." "Ted concluded that with the interest increased by the formation of the football school where all kinds of players could get experience, perhaps the public would get behind them and the youth would get their park and stadium, Jim MacBrien, head of the asso- ciation, presided at the banquet and while the guests of honor were com- ing down from Toronto--direct from the Argo practice--he called on sev- eral of the guests to give some talk on the past, present and future of the club, Blue Devils Col. Bob Smith gave an interest- ing account of the good old days of the famous Oshawa Blue Devils which won the Dominion champlion- ship some years ago. At that time he remarked, the club was rua by General Motors and come the day of the games it was a half-holiday for all the staff and they were ex- pected to turn out for the game. There was no trouble over finances then, Col. Smith said that he got stuck for it one year after G.M. dropped it and found that they what. They played and lost all thelir games, broke their arms ¢nd legs, and never could pay the doc- tor bills, He said he was glad to see it getting back on its feet. "I only wish I Jere a millionaire and wo cculd Have that closed stadiym where tite boys could have the best possible facilities for play- ing football," he concluded. Gs$ Park Equipment Chairman of the Board of Parks Manegement, Fred Maundrell, told his audience about the difficulties his board faced in getting materials for building the new equipment for the parks, especially the showers and locker rooms at Alexandia Announces Argo Rugby School | For Spring At Foothall Banquet Closed Stadium Need Stressed' were in the hole more than some-. Park. But he declared, ome cone tractor recently promised him that . hie could do the job and so he ex- pected that the boys should have showers and rooms by next spring, At any rate the council had backed the move and upped the yearly grant to the board for park equip- ment from $10,000 to $44,000, The members of the teams gave a rousing hand to the two coaches who meant so much to the work of the teams this past season, Doug Waugh, coach of the Red Raider Juniors, thanked everyone and said that it was their "will to win," that had pleased him immensely. This thought was re-emphasized by Col. Smith when he said that he "had never yet seen a team lose with ds good a spirit as the Red Raiders. Coach Charlie March commented on the intermediate theme song, Tove Me Pive Minutes More"--or ess. Earl Selkirk told the lads that his team had also started out with little equipment and many short ages and had finally had stirred up enough player and public interest that these shortages were reduced. Their can be champions who gre losers, he said, as well gp champions who are winners, and tive Red Raid- ers had proved that. He and any of the Argo team would be glad to help the club at any time for the benefit of football. Co-operation Several of the speakers praised the spirit which Moe Charney in- jected into the club and the plug- ging which he did to drag the asso- ciation out of the hole, Moe replied that it was the co-operation of the players, the coaches and trainers, the executive and the press which had done so much for the assocla- tion's teams and he thanked all those who had contributed to. that success, The banquet and jIeenng broke up after . Jim MacBrieh~ told the gathering that he felt these bane quets should be held three or four times annually so that the fellows would get more of the club spirit and have a good chinning session over sports. He promised that there twould be another banquet before the spring season rolled around. S.
