Probably the highlight if the game for Timmins was, the passing in the Ist half as Belec bulleted them to Dukeshire time and time again.

Timâ€" mins backfielder Bud Johnson made the longest Timmins gain for the day.. This run put Ti}nmlm in scorâ€" ing position and Belec took the ball over on a quarter back sneak. A convert pass was missed by inches as the receiver made a valiant try. mins gained ground was made by wurward passes as little or no headâ€" way could be made through the ~Timmins High nevertheless reâ€" wmain: the A winner for Northern Schools and will play North Bay this Baturday at 2.15 p.m. Gains Made in Midâ€"Field Timmins actuaolly had five other scoring chances but failed to click i0r some reason.

Heroes All <« There were several unsung heroes jn that game that should be menâ€" Moned. Q uarter Jock Belec was on playing for puadtMally tGae whole pame without being able to run or kick. Jock had hurt his leg the secâ€" ond lats practice before the game and was also suffering from a twisted ankle. It takes a lot of nerve to go into a game like football with inâ€" juries like that.

Th ‘others of eccurse are hopeful. ° Nevertheless Timmins will put up a good fight and with the prospects of a championship ahead they will more than likely win.

The Dart league held their general meeting on Sunday and it was the biggest crowd ever. Four new teams applied for entry and were accepted thus making it an 18â€"team league, yhe largest since iks inception 1936 It is certainly becomlng tha major indoor sport: As I told you last week about pickâ€" ing up a number of Discharge Butâ€" tons. Well I have had a few claimed Gocd Night The forward pass, the 10â€"yard blocking permitted, and many of our star players pave all come from across the border and there are few ‘ans who flatly state they don‘t like these ~innovations.~ They have. all tended to open up our game a bit and make it more interesting both to watch and play and therefore can‘t be considered a bad thing. Answer Cl@nadian and you probâ€" ably will rank alongside the majorâ€" ity of rugby fans in the Dominion. But answer American and you still have a point toMrrgue because the Canadian brand of rugby this season is the closest it‘s ever been to the American. But have we gone far enough in borrowing American rules? Some say yes and some shy no. And then there are fans who say the Ameriâ€" can game could take over a few of our rules and improve their own game. The Porcupine Advance , By WALLY IZSAK And just how do you like your footballâ€"under Canadian or Ameriâ€" canrules"? ~Both: fansâ€"and â€" footballers themâ€" selves have argued bitterly for years about interferences, the number of downs, the single point and various other differences. Unlimited interference as in. their game, say Americans, opens up the game for the spectatorn Four downs instead of allows the offenâ€" sive team to keep moving. Our game is more. exciting, say Canadians.> Limited blocking makes aownfield running more spectacular benause the backs have no protecâ€" tion and must depend on their own speed and deception. Three downs makes the punter more important and, besides, the American four Cowns slow things up. The Kicked Point One of our rules that, seems to impress Americans is the single point score on a kick,. The single point can break up tight ball games and also places more importance on a good kicker. C «Bs o e o9 24 From the American game it might not be a bad thing if we borrowed an increased interference rule for both backs and linemen. Canadian linemen can block 10 yards ahead ci the line of scrimmage .and backs only one yard. An increased ‘interâ€" ference would onen up scoring and make for bigger gains and increased dJeception. § That brings us right back to someâ€" thing the Americans could take from usâ€"the 12â€"man team instead of their own 11. The extra man adds blockâ€" ing power, deception, and increases the threat and use of the end run. brtvestath s Canadians already have taken the perfected °T formhntion from the U.S. tecause of its deception and quick striking power. On this closeâ€"knit formation it doesn‘t seem necessary to allow all backs in motion before the ball is snopped because of the speed in which the play forms. But if a team uses another type of formation it might be well for have lost one, see me, I might it. through mention in this column and I still have a few left, so if you Last week I mentioned in this colâ€" umn that we could have a vocal choir in the Branch and since then 1 have had a few willing to coâ€"operâ€" ate, so if: ;herg are others interested get in touch with the secretary and get it going.

Deachman What‘s wrong with Great Britain? Why is it that, as 1 write, a conferâ€" ence is going on over there and anâ€" other will be held in September? Why is it that the Old Land so long a leader in the world seems now to lag despite brave efforts to push ahead? Say rather: "What‘s wrong with the world?" There was a war, Britain was in from the start. The Comâ€" monwealth and Empire is scattered over the face of the earth. â€" It was more difficult to mobilize resources of men and materials than itwas in a single nation like the United States. Then there was vast physical damage in Great Britain. She was in the front line from the start. â€" The peopls were webhry when the war was over and, they faced a different world. Thera was one great chance of speedy recovery. The United States, in wealth and resources, is now the cutstanding nation of the world It was in a position to fill the place long occupied by Great Britain. If, at the~ start of World War 1, the United States kad entered promptly and then, when it was over, had formed the Atlantic Pact there would have besn no World War II. Alas, rarely can man forsee the future. Who could have imagined when Lindbergh flew the Atlantic that there might come a day when tke bombing of almost any country in the world cculd be accomplished from an American base or conversely that Washington and New York, physically speaking were within bombing range of Europe. In a world where force was supreme we could not then antiâ€" cipate how such pofer might be used. The United States still has its opâ€" portunity â€" is using it, in part. The Atlantic pact is a reality â€" financial assistance has been expended by the United States with a generosity of which no other nation was capable. One more step should be taken. The United States should now occupy the field into which Britain stepped over a century ago. The United , States should break down her own tariff batrriers â€" do it alone. A rich harâ€" vet would. follow such action â€" richâ€" er still if other barriers were lowered.

Representatives of the United States in Europe are urging the reduction of continental tarifis as one of the essenâ€" ful intentions the United States, is almost inevitable.
