Panada will be represented at the famous event by Suzanne Morrow of Toronto, three-time dominion champion, along with four or five others, to be chosen at conclusion of Canadian championships on Jan. 17-19 in Osawa, Ont. --Central Press Canadian. TT-da=' [SPORTS HISTORY FOR OSHAWA . .. Canadian Figure Skating Championships Being Held At Oshawa Jan. 17 18, 19] The Canadian Figure Skating Association at its annual meeting in Toronto last Saturday found to its liking the proposal of the Osh- awa Skating Club for holding the Canadian Championships in the Motor City on January 17 18 and 19. Attending the big session at the Giaunive Club two represent. atives of the Oshawa Club . . Dick McLaughlin the president and Durwin E. Steckley vice-president. The stickler to complete accept- ance by the CFSA right from the beginning was the fact that the Oshawa club could only propose January dates for the meet. Many members of the CFSA felt that March would have been a better month. WERE ACCEPTED However, the Oshawa eontingent argued their point well and had the dates accepted, along with the idea of choosing candidates for the Olympic tests from the Canadian championships. The only person of note who'llnot be present for the Candian tests and who will take part in the Olympics is Suzanne Morrow, the Canadian Senior Ladies' Champion, She'll be taking part in a German Every once in a while, the National Football League com- missioner, Bert Bell, comes up with a good idea .. . but his latest isn't the kind that we think will add anything to the Yanks' professional version of football. He suggests that the conver- sion after touchdown . . . that extra-point, be eliminated. He figures it should stay in the college games, but feels that the pros make the point so regu- larly, and with such ease, that it really doesn't make much difference in their games . . . and only aids the gamblers in their one-point-spread business. We rather fear that Mr. Bell is overly worried about gam- plers after the many investiga- tions that have been going on below the border. He wants that conversion out for that last reason . . . not because they are so easy come by in the pro game. When you take away the con- vert from football, you take away a lot of the fans' joy. He , . . Mr. Fan . . . isn't usually prepared for the touch- down of today, what with all the masters of fakery working in the modern backfield. Give him a conversion where his club lines up in what has become almost a victory salute; grant- ing that the pros always convert successfully, and he can shout his head off . . . really get into the spirit of the thing. Besides that type of. fan, think of the one you were going to please by adding the Cana- dian rouge to your game, Mr. Bell. He likes kicking, you felt, and the Canadian rouge seemed like a. good thing. But it's a single point too! Whurra! Whurra! Better you should leave the old rule book be for a while. The game is just getting over the wage warfare staged by the NFL and AAC and can ill afford to offend the customers with rule experimentation. We might add the same cau- tion to the CRU rules committee, when they start looking around at unlimited interference ideas and such like. The Yanks have admitted that our -game is tough, requires imagination, and demands a man to go all out, all' the time and best of all, is a great crowd pleaser. Let's not put a crimp style. : (7 4 . CHECKLETS -- According to reliable sources down in Co- bourg, the Ghosts are going to stick to a ground attack against Orillia in that clash in Cobourg today. Evidently Fred Dufton heard that was the mainstay of the Oshawa attack up in Orillia. Despite the Orillians' admitted late-season slump, they could still make it mighty interesting for the footballic Ghosts. Speaking of Ghosts, youll figure that is just the kind of basketball that Reece "Goose" Tatum uses when you watch him and all the other Harlem Globetrotters in their own full- length. movie which begins Monday at the Plaza. It's only going to be running for two About half-a-dozen members of the Oshawa Strength and Health Club were down in Toronto last Friday, October 26, for the annual Mr. Toronto Show, held under the aegis. of mighty little Johnnie Bav- ington, foremost pody-builder in the big city and one of Canada's best- built men., Winner of this year's Mr. Toronto contest was Roland Lavalle, making a well-deserved triumph for one of oronto's most enthusiastic body- ders and expert weight men. Second place went to Nick Fujimote, who was popular with the large audience of muscle culture fans. Third was Don Pringle, a former Oshawa strong man. Our club members reported an excellent program of acrobatics, weight lifting and displays of muscle control. Among the guest stars was Joe Shaw, last. year's Mr. Toronto. On display to thunderous applause were poses by Melvin Wells of Buffald, N.Y., several times runner- up in Mr. America contests, and a sure winner in the near future. The distinguished negro athlete, with a height of 5 feet 1T, weighing 212 1bs., displayed his 50-inch chest and pushing 19-inch arms, while tossing a 135 1b, barbell around with the greatest of ease. He was the indi- vidual star of the show, for the Oshawa fans' money. ' Club activities in our gym at the CRA Building, 100 Gibbs Street, are going ahead full swing. 'There are now twenty paid members, most of whom put in their regular tri- weekly work-outs, and are reporting satisfying progress. The lads are particularly pleased with the smart membership cards which Don Mof- t designed and got printed with h dispatch. The gym has been livened up with posters and signs from Don's brush. It's great to have a talented character like that on our executive. . President 'Bill Szikszay hopes to get the Self-Improvement Contest officially undsr way in short order. More about that next week. Bill is taking a few characters down Torontowise next month to put on a little show for the boys at College of Chiropractic, where our brawny prexy is a student, He hopes to illustrate a well-known fact, that weight-lifters are good for other things beside heaving up the iron pills. Among his troupe will be tumblers, hand balancers and other serobatic specialists, all of whom have to be supple as well as strong.

Those who will be present for the title days at the Oshawa Arena are Peter Firstbrook, the Senior Men's champ, Marlene Smith, runner-up in the North American tests last year, and two Oshawa stars, Dawn Steckley and Alan Anderson, LOCAL CONTENDERS Miss Steckley is expected to make a strong bid for the Senior Ladies' crown.

The idea of having thé Canadian championships in Oshawa has been in the backs of the heads of the ex- ecutive for some years now.

In 15 games they have yet to come up with their first victory. Last night they came close again as they hammered home two goals in the final period to gain a 3-3 tie with Tacoma Rockets. It was their fifth deadlock against 10 de- feats.

Against the Canucks, Tacoma held a 3-1 lead at the end of the second period with Barton Brad- ley, Len Haldorson and Moe Young scoring for the Rockets and Hugh Currie for Vancouver.
