Just what would you say is th
eat play in Canadian football?
A
set -footed scat -back tiptoeing hi
Vray half the length of the field, an
eluding opposition tacklers as if by
magic? A lateral -passing run wit
three or four handling the ball
getting rid of the pigskin to a team-
i6tate at just the last possible mo -
Ment? Or a long forward pass with
the receiver leaping high in the air
to pluck the ball away from rival
bands and then heading for payoff
territory?
* * *
We would be the last to deny that
all three of these are very spectacu-
lar indeed, and well worth watching.
But for our money the best play in
football—that is to say the most
effective play—is a comparatively
simple one, yet one rarely seen.
Not to make too great a mystery
of it, we are referring to the return
punt—where the catcher, instead of
trying to bull his way down the
field, sidesteps a couple of oncoming
wings, and then boots the oval away
back beyond where it started from.
* * *
Football men will tell you that
nothing is more discouraging to a
team than two or three such return
punts, perfectly executed against it
—nothing more likely to take the
gimp out of a club than to see all
its hard work nullified in a matter
of seconds. Down in Ottawa the
other day, right at the start of the
game Joe Krol of the Argonauts
pulled an 80 yard return that was a
honey, and might have decided a
contest which had barely begun.
* * *
If we were ever coaching a club
—which, for the good of the sport
is something highly unlikely ever
to happen—the first lesson we would
try and teach our players, and the
last one as well, would be something
Hike this; no club is ever going to
score many points on you as long
as you keep it back of its own
twenty-five.
* * *
In other words if you consist-
ently take a ticket on the team
that puts the most foot—and the
est foot—into football, its about
as fine a scheme as we know for
eepin on the black -ink side of
the ledger. And by the way—even
if RonaRiders did trim them on
two successive Saturdays don't sell
those Argos too short as yet. May-
be, as some are saying, they've shot
their bolt and are only pale shadows
of the mighty team they once were.
Still, we have an idea that when the
real shooting starts, they'll be there
or thereabouts.
* * :e
Billy Southworth undoubtedly did
a pretty fair chore of bringing his
Boston Braves to the wire on top
of the National League marathon.
Still, without trying in any way to
make light of what he did, South-
worth had the stuff to work with
and on paper at least looked to have
a winner right from the start.
* * *
All things considered, however,
the best managing job in either
league was that turned in by another
William—Billy Meyer of the Pitta -
burg Pirates, to make it definite.
There were times when Meyer only
had eight regulars available—not
counting heavers—and had to g0
into the game witliouf a single utilWy
infielder or fly -chaser on the bench.
* * *
Southworth's work of picking
spots for his pitchers was almost
uncanny. When a manager has
two or three really "solid pitchers"
—men who can be depended on to
lake a turn at mound duty every
three or four days—he doesn't have
to do very much "master minding".
But on one August tour of the East
—where the going was really tough
—Southworth won six games with
six different heavers.
* *
That's really making the most of
what you have. Bing Crosby is
supposed to be largely interested
in that Pittsburgh club; and we
think The Groaner might do far
worse than warble a few of those
golden notes int,, the ear of Mr.
Southworth.
Let's Try Standing
On Our Own Feet
e
d
h
a What is the cause of this infla-
tion? Reducing it to simple terms,
it is the lack of (l) hard money and
(2) hard work. It Is the failure
to produce the things we need and
the failure to heed the oft repeated
warning "stop increasing our money
supply." Inability of war devast-
ated Europe to produce her share
makes our failure that much more
serious, And why aren't we produc-
ing? back of steel, lack of coal, lack
of oil, lack of machine tools, lack
of manpower? Yes, but mostly lack
of the will to produce, lack of the
desire to do a job, lack of risk of
capital, lack of respect for the pro-
fit motive in business.
Why is all this so? It may be
that we are all so busy chasing
each other around and up the dizzy
spiral of inflation that we cannot
give an honest answer, T think it
all gees back to Our negative Atli•
tUile. We're yvorkjng against each
other rachet. than fof each other...
These' are the days of something -
for -nothing, of Leaning on the gov-,
erntnent instead of standing on our
own two feet.

WIIATGOES ON
g) 1N THE
WOULD
Palestine
There is an ironic significance
in the fact that the quotation about
"sowing the wind and reaping the
whirlwind" should come from The
Book yvhich is largely concerned
with the History of the Jewish
people.
When the Stern Gang and other
Palestine terrorists were torturing
and murdering British soldiers, who
had been guilty of nothing but do-
ing their sworn duty, there was
little or no general condemnation of
such acts by Zionists and their sym-
pathizers in other parts of the world,
and especially in the United States.
Air commentators, newspapers and
magazines south of the border held
them up as heroes and gloried hi
their deeds. But now the picture has
changed.
For not only in official Israel
circles, but also in the opinion of
most expert observers, there is the
belief that with the foul murder of
Count Folke Bernadotte, the Un-
ited Nations official mediator, the
Jewish cause has received a terrible
blow,
Hopes for gaining admission to
United Nations membership for Is-
rael at the present have been great-
ly shaken. That the killing of Bern-
adotte was not the impulsive act of
some hot -head, but something long
Count Folke Bernadotte
and carefully planned, is almost cer-
tain. For weeps rumors had been
circulating in Palestine that the
Count was marked for death; and
although many of the cooler minded
Jews condemned such rumors as
fantastic, killed he was, Had Count
Bernadotte been representing mere-
ly one nation in Palestine his mur-
der would have been, politically
speaking, serious enough, But he
was there, in theory at least, as the
representative of all fifty-eight of
the United Nations. Now assembled
in Paris, and with plenty of other
and even graver matters to occupy
their minds, are the delegates from
those fifty-eight going to accept into
full membership a people claiming
to be a nation, but where such a ,
thing could happen,
fust what those Wholane j it t
hoped tp �aecomplish by the Assadab)-
ation of Bernadotte • nobody, possib-
ly will ever know with any cer-
tainty, But one theory is that the
Sternist leaders, convinced that
NortnanBLair
nothing good could come for a Jew-
ish state front the western countries,
wanted to prove to Soviet Russia
—whose alliance and support they
were seeking—tliat although they
might be extreme Nationalists, they
could still be most useful to the
Russian cause elsewhere.
Anyway it is significant that when
all the rest of the civilized world
was expressing sorrow over Bern-
adotte's passing, a Soviet spokesman
said—in that charming Russian
manner—"He had no business being
where he was."
Korea
Prom Moscow cane the dramatic
announcement that Russia intends
to get its troops out of Korea by
January, and hoped that the United
States would follow suit. And from
Washington came the prompt reply
that the United States was keeping
its troops in Korea until the affairs
of that country are settled by the
United Nations and—in diplomatic
language, of course—that if Russia
didn't like it site could lump it.
The fact that the Russians an-
nounced their intention to evacuate
Northern Korea right on the eve of
the Paris Assembly seems to indi-
cate the purley propaganda purposes
of that action. It put the Kremlin
in the position of being able to cap-
italize its peaceful intentions toward
the rest of the world; and it would
he no great surprise to see the So-
viets pressing strongly for full Allied
evacuation of Germany.
Perhaps, by the time this is read,
that action will already have been
taken. Possibly, on the other hand,
by that time the Russians will have
picked up their marbles and left
Paris in a huff. Anyway, the United
States and Britain seem to be fully
aware that it is one thing for Mos-
cow to pull its troops out of Ger-
many, where they have thoroughly
communized their zone and are re-
ported to have a well organized and
trained German army under cover,
and quite another for the western
Allies to pull out and leave all Ger-
many to the "mercy" of the armed
Communists from the east.
A showdown must conte, sooner
or later; and it is to be hoped that
our side will show the same "intest-
inal fortitude" in the matter of Ger-
many as Secretary Marshall already
has done in calling the Soviet bluff
over Korea,
• For a Good Fit

Hollywood specialty shop and an-
nounced, "I'd like a pair of shorts

rescues two men, five boys
from over --turned croft
in Broom Lake
At first, no one in the little
group of vacationers paid any
attention to the shouts coming
from the lake. Such sounds were
to be expected in summer resorts.
But in a few moments it became
obvious that the voices were not
raised in laughter — they were
desperate cries for helpl
LAUNCHES SMALL BOAT
14 -year-old John Lowe was the
first one to act. Although the
water was extremely rough and a
high wind was blowing, he
launched a small motorboat and
headed for the end of the island.
Soon he saw the reason for the
shouting. Guiding his little craft
through the white -caps, he came
upon an over -turned flat-bot-
tomed boat. Seven persons were
clinging to it, almost exhausted.
One by one John helped them
over the side into his boat. Some
were so weak they could hardly
hang on, but he got them all in
his boat. A few moments later
they were safely ashore.
For his courage, coolness and
great presence of mind, we are
proud to pay tribute to John
Lowe, of Montreal, through the
presentation of The Dow Award.
THE DOW AWARD is a
citation for outstanding hero,
ism and includes, as a tangible
expression of appreciation, a
Sim Canada Savings Bond.
Winners are selected by the
Dow Award Colnmittec, a
group of editors of leading
Canadian newspapers,
Several of the older people tried to
prevent John from venturing out on
the stormy lake ...but he was determi.
ned . , . and in a few moments was off
to the rescue in a small motorboat.
The gallant youngster did not rest
until he had the seven victims safely
on the island. His brave deed won for
him the praise of the entire Knowlton
commuotty.

Prefers (`Fresh Air"
To Russian Stuff
A Russian officer who claims to
have been a jet propulsion expert
in the Soviet air forces says that he
likes the "fresh air" of old England
—also that a lot of his fellow -coun-
trymen would like it too. He is
Lieut. Col. Gregory Tokaev whose
flight from the Soviet military ad-
ministration in Berlin was recently
reported and has now been confirm-
ed by the British Foreign Office.
Colonel Tokaev brought his wife
and 10 -year-old daughter with him.
Appearing at a news confernce in
London where lie was heckled and
accused of "treachery' by Soviet
press representatives, he said:
"Give the Russian pe0p10 just
one day of Hyde Park, just one
chance at speaking their minds in
public, one free election in the
sense that Great Britain knows it,
and I aur quite sure 90 per cent of
them will go against the Politburo
and Tess (official Soviet news
agency),"
Declaring the Soviet regime is
"fostering a third world war," Col-
onel Tokaev said, "I refuse to par-
ticipate in this policy and ata going
over to the camp of its most re-
solute enemies, as long as this
will benefit my people."
