Vert SPORTS COLUMN
0 This column rejoices at the sudden
and surprising decision of the Canadian
Rugby Union to transfer the Grey Cup
game of 1955 from the traditional site
in Toronto out to the British Empire
Games stadium in Vancouver.
It may be a move toward an objec-
tive this column has been advocating for the past three years,
namely: a two -game series for the Grey Cup annually, in the
cities represented by the eastern and western winners re-
spectively, total points to count.
Hitherto, the western champions were obliged to travel
east, whether they liked it or not, meet the eastern champions
in Toronto's fine Varsity Stadium. We don't claim that this
ene-day clash of east and west wasn't a great show, with
colour, drama, background, everything. It was all of that
— wonderful, Wonderful, that is, for those who could see it.
But what about those who, for one reason or another,
couldn't bet to Toronto to watch their heroes in the crowning
football game of the Season? Those are the fans who were
getting the short end of the stick in this one -city deal.
Taking the Grey Cup out to Vancouver breaks this one -
city tradition, and also is a smart bit of promotion, Vancou-
ver is new in professional football. Annis Stukus fought an
uphill battle there lastyear and in the eity's first venture
into the game, his club got amazingly fine support,
It was a throw -back to the long -ago days when pro-
fessional hockey, as new to the west coast then as football
was last year, invaded Vancouver, Victoria and New West-
minster and became a tremendous game overnight But
Vancouver, in football, can do with the shot -in -the -arm the
Grey Cup will provide.
We trust this isn't just a one-year move. Other cities,
east and west, would like to be hosts to the Grey Cup finals.
And they deserve it, But we still believe in our own idea, a
two-eity play-off between the two champions.. Baseball
does it. Hockey does it. It's good for them. So why not for
football?

r.._._- ceanlhner's Roll Eased
The sailor has a saying that no
ship is too big to roll!
Although this saw has come
down from an earlier day—what
was considered a huge ship then
would now be thought a small
craft — it holds true with the
leviathans plying the sea today.
This fact is emphasized by the
Cunard Steamship Company's
recent installation of an,anti-
rolling device in its 83,873 -ton
liner Queen Elizabeth.
The roll of a ship is the re-
sult of a complex mixture of
impulses, of which two are of
particular importance. These are
the period of roll of the ship
and the frequency of the wave
motion.
Every class of ship has an in-
herent period of roll, For a com•
piete oscillation the time of a
roil ranges front 8 to 10 seconds
for merchant vessels to approxi-
mately 5 seconds for destroyers.
Wave periods vary greatly de-
pending on the height of waves
and the rapidity of their onward
movement. And the effect of any
particular sequence of waves on
a ship depends on the angle at
which they strike the vessel's
hull. The eftect can also be
varied by changes of course or
speed of the ship.
The effect of waves on a ship
can be likened to impulses given
to child's swing. We all know
how easy it is to make a swing
go higher and higher when little
fillips are applied at just the
right period of the swing's sway.
When the period of roll and
the impinging waves synchro-
nize, the angle of roll becomes
increasingly great, and the ship
bight eventually roll over were
jt not that friction from the ves-
sel's side going through the
water dampens out the roll. Also
as the ship's period of roll
changes, resulting in a cessation
of the synchronism
The first antirolling device
used, and which is still to be
found oil practically every sea-
going ship of any size, was the
bilge keel. This is a rib of metal
secured to a ship for some dis-
tance on each side at about the
turn of the bilge. Its width de.
pends on the size and type of
the ship, and it reduces rolling
by the resistance offered to its
passage through the water.
Although effective to some
degree, bilge keels do not pro-
vide the stability demanded in
modern vessels, in merchant-
men to ensure the comfort of
passengers and abate damage to
material, and in men-of-war to
provide steady gun platforms,
Consequently the search for bet-
ter methods continued, writes
Captain Fdererirk L. Oliver in
"The Christian Science Monitor."
Some years 'ago, a Herr
Frahm, a noted German naval
architect, proposed the use of
antirolling tanks, and a number
of ships were so equipped, There
is considerable theory involved
in his project, .but essentially it
By ttEmsff
consists of a vertical tank on
each side of a ship which is con-
nected at the bottom by a hori-
contal duct and at the top by an
air pipe.
With the tanks about half fill-
ed with water, a proper adjust-
ment of valves and baffles will
so control the surge of water in
the tank that its inertia can be
used to counteract the tendency
to roll. The scheme is fairly suc-
cessful in coping' with heavy
rolling, but it is not effective
with moderate rolling, is noisy
and uses valuable space. For
these reasons it has not come into
extensive use.
According to accounts, a group
of Stanford University techni-
cians is now working on an anti -
roll device in which water is
transferred between tanks on
either side of a ship by pumps
controlled by an instrument call-
ed "angular accelerometer." This
scheme may reduce the noisy
rush of water inherent in the
Frahm tank method, but it In-
volves the use of internal space
in a ship which can be otherwise
profitably utilized,
Rotor Device Installed
A more generally known anti -
roll device is a gyroscopic con-
trivance that has been installed
in various ships. This scheme
checks rolling by using the re-
sistance that a heavy, rapidly
spinning motor exerts against
being moved out of its plane of
rotation.
Such an installation was tried
in U:S.S. Henderson about 40
years go. It had two heavy rotors
revolving in Opposite directions
to eliminate torque, and gave
fair results. However, it weigh-
ed around 200 tons. took up com
siderable space, and required
constant attention, It had the fur-
ther disadvantage of possibly set-
ting up malfunctions which
could tend to roll the ship over.
The installation was removed
from the ship during World
War I.
In 1931, the huge liner Rex
was provided with a gyroscopic
stabilizer. For some years con-
siderable publicity attended this
installation, but it apparently
did not come up to expectations,
and the sister ship Conte di Sa-
voie was not similarly equipped.
Both ships passed from the pic-
ture during World War II.
And now comes an anti -rolling
device in the huge liner Queen
Elizabeth ,a ship large enough
not to roll if such a ship were
possible. This scheme is a radi-
cal departure from any previous-
ly tried project Known as the
Denny -Brown' stabilizer, it con-
sists of two fins on each side in
the forward three-quarters of the
ship. Each fin is quite small as
compared with the size of the
ship, being approximately seven
feet wide and projecting 12 feet
6 inches from the side of the ship.
The pairs of fins are located
15 feet up from the keel line and

PLAIN HORSE SENSE
By k, (BOB) VON etLIS
What Communism does to
lands and people under its
domination is best illustrated by
recent reports from Germany.
The renewed and aggravated
encirclement and isolation of the
Western sectors of Berlin by
the surrounding Soviet domina-
ted parts of Germany is reach-
ing a point where the aim ap-
pears to be to seal off Free
Berlin hermetically under the
slogan "a defensive ring around
Berlin". The plans now adopted
foresee an expansion of the
area around Berlin that serves
as a "control belt" with,particu-
lar regard to supervision sepa-
rately of general travel in and
out of Berlin and of commuter
services.
The local puppet authorities
had more extensive plans asso-
ciated with the introduction of
conscription in West Germany
and timed to coincide with that
operation. These plans aimed at
something like a new Berlin
blockade. It appears, however,
that the supreme masters of
these authorities, the Soviets
themselves, were not prepared
at this moment to allow mea-
sures that might not be capable
of political ".localization" and,
hence, might get out of control.
Hunger in Soviet Zone
Ten years after the collapse
of the Nazi regime and the mili-
tary triumph of the Allies the
population of the Soviet occu-
pied zone of Germany and of
the Bast sector of Berlin are
associating the blessings of
spring with the menace of hung-
er and starvation because of the
failure of the agricultural and
economic policies of the Soviet
dominated local regime. Spring-
time once again brings out
long queues of ill -nourished
and ill -clad subjects waiting pa-
tiently before the various food
outlets of the regime for what
fraction of established rations
existing supplies may vouchsafe
them.
The butter ration is no longer
available not even in the privi-
leged HO shops and at a raised
price corresponding to $2.30 per
pound. One third of the estab-
lished monthly ration of fats is
supposed to be allowable in but-
ter but is not forthcoming.
The sugar situation is similar.
Sugar is not - on sale even at
free market prices and the ra-
tions are not provided. It is
difficult for the normal con-
sumer to find sources for the
meat and sausage ration. There
is a shortage of bread and the
authorities are preparing to in-
troduce a one -type loaf of
bread in order to master the
situation.
Soviets Live Oil The Land
A contributory factor is the
are 341 feet apart. They can be
retracted into water -tight recess-
es within the ship, wben the ves-
sel goes alongside a pier, or on
other occasions when exterior
objects might cause damage,
Each fin is moved by a hy-
draulically operated ram which
tilts it so it exerts a pull to
cbunteract the roll, the rams be-
ing actuated at precisely the cor-
rect instant by a small gyro-
scopic gear.
This system of antiroll control
has heretofore been successfully
used in smaller vessels, but the
Queen Elizabeth installation is
the first to use two sets of fins,
A recent' trial of the Queen
Elizabeth at- sea is reported to
have been successful in ironing
out rolls to a minimum. So it
!nay be that the moll can be
taken out of strips and out of the
sailors' . epigr. am.
foreign Uncle policy of, or im-
posed upon, the local authorities.
Heavy industry having been re-
turned to its privileged position
in the zonal economy consumer
needs are no longer consideied
primary. Forced exports benefit
the Soviet Union and the other
countries in the Soviet bloc. In
the Soviet occupied part of
Germany itself the occupation
forces continue to live off the
land to the detriment of the in-
habitants. A renewed wave of
land collectivization does not
help matters, but is embittering
the farmers.
Wh eta Big Jim
Smiled, It Wasn't
Funny
When dim Thorpe played in'
the minor leagues, one of his
teammates was Al Schacht,later
famous as baseball's number one
clown and comedian. Al, who
was easy-going and a wise-
cracker, struck up a friendship
with the moody and surly In-
dian. But there was one thing
Al forgot to observe about the
Indian. When Jim Thorpe grin-
ned he was mad; and the wider
the grin, the madder he was.
One day at a party of the ball-
players of the club, comedian AI
Schacht began ribbing the boys.
Soon the crowd was howling
with laughter. Before long, Al
tried a gag on big Sim Thorpe.
The Indian growled—then sinned.
Al thought the big fellow liked
being kidding. He continued
joshing and the Indian smiled
and grinned wider and wider.
Suddenly, Jim grabbed the com-
edian -ballplayer by the scruff of
the neck, crossed swiftly to the
open window dragging the star-
tled ribber with him, lifted the
body into the air and dangled
it outside a mere three stories
above the ground.
"Let gal" screamed the fright-
ened Schacht. "What are you
doing, you crazy Indians You'll
drop nee and I'll be killed! Pull
me in out of here, I tell you!"
"Take it easy, Al," grinned the
big Indian. "Let's hear how your
jokes sound in the fresh airl"
Jim dangled the squirming
clown outside the window for
several minutes. When he
brought him in, Al Schacht al-
most collapsed on the floor. It
tookhima long time to learn to
talk again. And the first thing he
said when he could say anything
at all was: "Jim Thorpe is the
strongest man in the world—
thank Godi"
LIONS
We're sure this is the height
of something or other. Just
what, we dunno yet. Anyhow,
seven men from the lion coun-
try of Nigeria were visiting in
London recently. They are very
anxious to go to the zoo and
see a real, live lion. Ma'am
Yukuba Wanka, 30 year-old ac-
countant explained that lions
"live in the bush in Nigeria, and
only Englishmen seek them
there we leave them alone!"
Deign on thepassing world to
turn thine eyes,
And pause awhile from lettere,
to be wise.
