Actually, this .mag- nificent drive started on the Winnipeg five -yard line, with the score 12:6 in favour of Hamilton. 105 yards away from the Tiger line,time running out, Bombers followed a trail blazed by Jacobs, as he daringly hurled pass after pass, until play had been swept to within the very shadow of the last Hamilton line of defence, only three yards from their touch -line. And here came a finish of such high, throat - catching drama, we doubt it will ever be equalled. For, fn than last few gripping seconds, a tie, perhaps victory for the west, hung in the balance. In one end of the field, the 'hands` of the big electric clock were rolling off the final seconds of the final minute. Bombers came out of their huddle, Tom Casey, all day a sure -handed catcher, slipped around the end, as Jacobs drifted back, Then he threw his last pitch of the 46 he had winged upand down the field. . It rose high, and there, in the crisp sunny air of inner - feet November day, hung both the ball and the Dominion football title. Casey, right on the Hamilton line, launched his tall lean form into the air. His fingers just touched the floating sphere and as they did, Lou Kusserow hit Casey heavily in the back. iiia feet off the ground, Casey fell. The clock has just hit the final second. The game was over, Not even Hollywood could possibly surpass the dramatic effect, no matter how earnestly these masters of the screen might toll to produce a hair-raising climax. It just couldn't be closer. There just couldn't be a more gripping finish to Canada's gridiron classic.

Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMNERSTBURO, ONTARIO How To Judge Fights On Television Many fans who tune in my Monday night fight commentary over the Du Mont network have asked me whether accurate judg- ing of a fight on television is possible. As a reporter who has the opportunity of watching the bouts in the flesh and at the same time on a televisionmon- itor under the ring, I'm in a position to shed some light on the question. The answer is that it is possible, if you know what to look for and have the back- ground facts on which to base competent judgement, The following tips will help you to view and judge a fight on a par with an official at the ringside, writes Chris Schenkel, noted sportscaster, in The Police Gazette, In the first place, ask of your- self what you would demand of a fight official — absolute im- partiality. We all have our fav- orite- fighters, but strong par- tisanship will ruin our judge- ment. A boxer's appearance, his former occupation, and where ha times from may tend to in- fluence tis. Roland La Starza, for example, used to be a but- cher, and undoubtedly he has many loyal fans among meat - cutters. Sportscasters like my- self have had to train them- selves to be impartial, And anther thing: officials give the fight their complete attention. You should do the same. In the second place it's es- sential to understand the differ- ence between the two scoring systems. Since the first of the year most states have adopted the National Boxing Associa- tion's "10 -point -must" system, but New York continues to ad- here to i tso wntaoiM taoinn here to its own system. A good portion of the bouts you see on TV originate from New Rork, so it's well to know how it works. New. York officials score the winner of each round or tally it Sven. ' In addition, one to four points are credited to tl4'e win- ner of each round. If a boxer wins by a shade he gets one point, if by a clear margin two points, by a wide margin three points. If the round is com- pletely one-sided and there is a knockdown he gets four points. But — and this is tricky — the points count only if the fighters are tied on rounds at the end Of the bout. In the NBA "10 -point -must" system the winner of a round receives ten points on the cards kept by the judges and referee. But the loser also receives points — depending on how good a show he puts up — up to a ma- ximum of nine points. For ex- ample, if one fighter has a de- cisive edge in a round he gets ten points, but his foe might be only credited with eight, or less. "1 DIDN'T WALIC A MILE TO FEED YOU"—Francaise Touraton, 2, isn't quite :sure that muzzle is enough to discourage a camel looking for o date for lunch. It was a long walk to the Vincennes Zoo in Paris, France, and Francoise needs every bite for herself. Conceivably, a fighter badly outclassed in a particular round would receive no points at all. If the round is considere)l a draw, each fighter gets five points. Total points at the end of the bout determine the win- ner, unless there is a knockout, Scoring isn't just a matter of blows landed. Judges look for clean hitting, ring generalship, effective aggressiveness and de- fensive skill. It talces quite. a bit of experi- ence to judge the effectiveness of a punch. Some of the best punches do not appear especial- ly telling. On the other hand, short, swift uppercuts, blows landed during in -fighting, are often more effective than they seem. Some of the most dram- atic - appearing punches, like Kid Gavilan's famous bolo, do not have much force behind them. Dont' be misled by loud thuds. Such blows are often leather hitting .,leather, or il- legal open -glove slaps. If a fighter's head bobs back the chances are he has been hit only slightly or not at all, and is roll- ing with the punch. Long hair . which flies up every time a fighter takes a little punch or simply moves his head creates a misleading illusion. The essence of ring general- ship is to make your opponent fight your kind of fight. If a boxer prefers an aggressive style he will carry the fight to his antagonist and consistently beat him td the punch. If a counter - puncher, he will be - able to make his adversary lead. A skilled ring general will maneuver his opponent into corners and cause him to make mistakes. Effective aggressiveness weighs heavily with most judges. A fighter is paid to fight, and an aggressive boxer is trying his best to do so by wading in and slugging. An aggressor does not pile up points, however, if he blindly wades into a fusillade of punches, In championship flhts, many judges consider that it is up to the challenger to carry the fight to the title hold- er if be is to win the crown. In judging defensive skill look for effective clinching when hurt, blocking and slipping punches, ducking and parrying. The master boxer can pick off blows with arms, elbows or gloves, yet still remain in posi- tion to throw potent leather.

Major fouls, such as hitting a man who is down, or kneeing, may result in completely disqualifying the offender, but this is rare. You're much more likely to spot minor fouls such as holding, backhand blows, low punches, kidney and habbit punches, spinning and hitting on the break. When seen by the referee they may give the offender a simple warning, or the loss of the round. In watching fights on TV it's helpful to know some of the lingo of boxing. at least the names Of The basic punche'i. Here are some defhutions: Combination — a sequence or volley of blows. It is the ability to put together combinations that marks the difference be- tween a novice and a champion. It was a fast and clever series of left hooks and rights that made Joe Louis a great cham- pion. The most famous and common combination is "the old one-two," a left and a right, Right Cross — crossing the opponent's left lead with, a straight right hand. Book — any punch other than a straight blow. A hook is de- livered under, or above, a foe's guard. The left hook is often used to put an opponent on the canvas, especially if the man who throws it is a past -plaster of the art like Sugar Ray Rob- inson. Jab — short, straight punch- es. The left jab is the oPening gambit in a fighter's offense. Many bouts are won on effec- tive jabbing. A jabbing' attack will keep an antagonist away and off balance. To detect a fighter in trouble — always the most exciting mo- ments in a fight watch for "rubber .legs," a stationary tar- get, "pushing" punches, hands held abnormally 1pw, frequent clinching if it's not the fighter's usual style, ineffective flurries and bad balance. Remember, it's a difference of opinion that makes a fight, either in or out of the ring, Almost all the bouts that end in split de- cisions — when the judges fail to agree -- are evenly matched, hard-fought battles, Judges call a bout as they see it, but the opinion of an experienced tele- vision viewer, while having no effect on the outcome, can be as well-founded as that of the best professional judge, Bath Burs Do It The Air Force reports that So- viet fighters have shot down an American photo -mapping plane, ]presumably :over the narrow straits a that separate Japan's 'iJokkaldo from two .groups of Soviet -held islands. in a hot war armies in con- frontation keep Informed of each other's intentions by send- ing out reconnaissance patrols, Each also sends out detach- ments to destroy or drive back the other's scouts, When they Meet, communiques report "pa- trRl clashes" In the strange. "cold war" which is the symptom of the world struggle for advantage between' the Soviet orbit and the United States and its allies the adversaries likewise send out planes along .each other's borders, often planes whose mapping cameras have a 40. mile range, And each maintains fighter patrols to make this re- eonnaissance as ineffective and expensive as possible. When these patrols clash, what the world hear's depends on who is doing what. If Ame- rican planes 'sue driving off or shooting down Red scouts, noth- ing is being said about it — un- less, perhaps, the Reds see sure- fire propaganda value in the circumstances. But if an Ame- rican patrol is attacked there is much excitement in the Ameri- can press and government sir - cies. And there is danger, unless the United States is psycho- logically and militarily prepared to do much more than voice in- dignation and dispatch protests, that it may be building up an explosive sentiment at home and an impression of belliger- ency and bluff abroad that could get out of hand. This is not to defend any trig- ger happy Soviet pilots or cal- culating Kremlin strategists. Nor is it to overlook the elastic definitions of "Soviet territory" the Reds conveniently apply. But is it not becoming appar- ent that the United States either must draw back from the risks of this order reconnaissance — which might create other risks even greater—or else quietly face the costs,, as it once did of the exploits of the OSS and no{v of the operation of the CIA? -- From The Chirstian Science Monitor. Clean • Up Time F©r Horror Comics 1'f the self -regulators In the comic book industry mean what they say, a revolution is in pro- cess. According to the code adopted by the Comics Maga- zine Association of America, the word "horror" or "terror" is forbidden in the title of any publication. There will be no more glamorous criminals; the emphasis will be on the good and true. Evil is to get its due on all occasions. A strict pro- hibition has been issued on all scenes of "horror, excessive bloodshed, gory or gruesome .crimes, depravity, Lust, sadism, masochism" and so forth. Such topics as "torture, vampires, ghouls, cannibalism or were- wolfism" are banned. There will be no profanity, obscenity,smut or vulgarity. ° Former Magistrate' Charles F. Murphy, who has been hired as code administrator, says "the publishers mean business!' All the comic books of the associa- tion members are now being weighed against the code. Noth- ing impure is to be allowed in- to production. Mr. Murphy ex- pects that the new era ought to be in full operation by March 1 at the retail outlets. The transformation, if it is in earnest, deserves every encour- agement If the publishers of the uncomic comic books have actually been frightened into de- cency, it is a tribute to aroused public opinion. As to how well the converts to self-regulation are succeeding at goodness, the fathers and mothers (and chil- dren, too) should be able to judge very quickly — New York Herald Tribune. GIPSIES MOURNING The world's gipsies have been seeking a "king." Their king, Mendes, died a few months ago in Athens. There are 3,000,000 gipsies the. world over today and they will shortly vote by post to elect one of seven men men living in Krugersdrop, South Africa. Mendes' oldest son, Alfred, is thought to be a likely choice. Thirty members of Alfred's family will accompany him—if he is elected—to wander around Britain and Europe for at least seven to ten years after elec- tion. Gypsies are in mourning and their music and games have been stopped for a year. The men are not allowed to work, but the women continue their traditional fortune-telling. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING.
