HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1950-12-07, Page 2"When I was a kid, we used to
have a saying abort everybody hav-
ing a peck of dirt before they die,"
remarked one of the contestants ---a
lineman --the evening after the re-
cent Argonaut -Bitty Bonuber mud -
ball championship affair.- "Aad if
that's the case I'm away ahead of
schedule, because this afternoon I
must have swallowed enough to
covet' lily next three titles on earth."
Probably Ile had, at that. But vire
greatly doubt that the laud of
Varsity Field left anything like as
bad a taste in the mouth as did
the remarks of certain disgruntled
Western officials and hangers -oil.
Mr. Les Lear, of the defunct Cal-
gary •Stanlpeders, Was especially
hard to take. He gave the impres-
sion that he hail never condescend-
ed to do any playing in surroundings
less glamorous than the California
Rose Bowl, and that he was doing
us poor benighted Eastern heathen
a rare favor by even visting such
a dirty and poorly -managed little
dump.
5 5 *
As a matter of fact: on his per -
conal 1951) showing --and that of
his team --Mr, Lear was dead lucky
to even be in Varsity Stadium that
afternoon t\ ithom paying full ad-.
miss:on fee. But, we suppose, it was
ever thin. .\s the late Jerry Shea
used to say, favi lh Some bitterness,
to a hunch Of us who used to make
his Y,inge Street vaudeville em-.
poriune something of a hangout,
"It's always you guys who come
in on the cuff, not the cash nus-
toners, that beef loudest about
what a lousy show I have,"
5 * d
And, when all is said. and done,
what's all the shooting about in
regard to this platter of good, bad
or indifferent playing conditions'
A thoroughbred of real champion-
ship class can ran on any kind of
a track; and when an owner has
a horse that can't perform except
on a lightning -fast racing strip, he
scratches saline when it "comes up
mud." \Ve haven't heard any
rumours of the Winnipeg folks re-
fusing to take their cut of those
lovely gate receipts, just because
the footing didn't happen to suit
t heir greatly over - ballyhooed
favourites.
Nor, when you come right down
to it, do we recall anybody taking
the football moguls — Eastern or
Western—and twisting their arms
in order to make theft double the
length of their football seasons.
The football promoters are in the
business strictly for the dough. So,
with slightly few exceptions, are
the players. Do they expect the
paying public to cuddle them, and
Cry over thein, if they have to earn
that dough, once in a while, the
hard way?
A lot of those second-guessing
critics are putting the blast on
Varsity and Warren Stevens, the
Toronto University Athletic Direc-
tor, for the condition of the playing
field. Does any sensible person
think that the C.R.U. folks bring
their finals to Toronto just because
they're in love with Stevens' baby
blue eyes, or because they admire
the Bloor Street surroundings. The
sole reason the finals are played in
the Queen City is because they
draw a whole lot more money than
they would anywhere else in Cana-
da. Let the Canadian Rugby Union
people give Varsity a ten-year guar-
antee—or even a five—that they'll
e' y there, even should somebody
build twice as large a stadium else-
where. and then it will be time to
to Ik about twelve thousand dollar
tarpaulins', which night turn ottt to
be nothing but a nuisance after
all. Some of that Bomber crew
looked as if they would be more at
home rolling up a tarp than try-
ing to roll n, that :Argo front-line.
at that.

We started this piece off by
saying that the tail_ and moans
referred to had left p had taste
in a lot of folks' mounts. They've
done more that, that. They have
set a lot of fans to thinking about,
and thscu' a g, just what our garne
of football has developed into this
past few years, especially since the
announcement of various "All Cana-
dian" teams made up, practically
100 per cent, of imports from south
of the border.
Noe we are; not prepared to dis-
^n;;, at this -time, whether Cana-
-Iian football is a better or poorer
spurt than the United States variety.
That Ls largely a matter of personal
ante. But what we do maintain is

Individuality In Hair -Styling
Counts For Most, Experts Say
Otte of the most attractive fea-
tures of hat, is that you can always
do th`.ngs with it, Unless, of course,
you prefer it, there need never be
that deadly sameness about the way
you arrange y oiir hair, that cut-and-
dried stodginess that shuts the door
on adventure.
Nothing is lost if you try differ-
ent ways of improving your ap-
pearance through the arrangement
of your Hair. You don't stand still,
so why should the manner in which
you do your hair?
The principal question at the
moment. is, "hon' long ought your
hair to be?" Now that the shingle
is' out, are women letting their hair
grow? Let's see what the experts
have to'say about this.
"There is such a difference in
the shapes of woolen's faces and
the lengths of their necks that no
stylist in the world can say that
hair should be a certain number
of inches long," declares Jutngst.
It depends entirely on an individ-
ual's personal silhouette."
"High -Collar" Coiffure
This well-known' hair stylist,
however, doesn't stop here .and
leave you wondering. He points out
specifically that he solves the prob-
lem of length by cutting the hair
so that your hairdo just touches the
edge of your collar—a "high collar"
coiffure. It is neither long • nor
short. It is right for you,
Mr. Jungst likes a feminine hair
style,
"Cue -ball heads, shingles, man-
nish close -cropped heads, and Mary
Martin bobs are out," lac says.
"Your- new hair style, if properly
shaped and curled, shopld spring
back into place from one combing
to another. The average woman
needs a shaping job every five or
six weeks.
"Don't think," he advises, "that
by putting off shaping you are
going to preserve your permanent.
This very neglect tends to cause
your permanent to lose its chic
completely. An expert shaping will
make ,your permanent go much
farther.
somewhat of an exaggeration ask
yourself this question—just how
man, of the 1950 "ALL -CANA-
DIAN ALL-STARS" could snake
a place as a first -stringer on even
a second division United States
Professional outfit?
* u
They come here—those players
and coaches—simply because they
can do better financially than they
could in their own country. 1f they
don't like the conditions they find
here, let theft go back to "God's
country." Or forever holti their
peace.
x :a ,
An just in case we Canadians
think that our -playing setup, are
"small tirrte" as our American im-
ports would have us think, here are
a few quotatirns regarding games
played, the very same day, south
of the hoe in "Big Learnt" erllege
games:
* *
CORNELL vs, PENNSYLVANIA
Although 52,000 tickets had been
sold, only 17,846 intrepid, dyed-in-
the-wool fans forsook their video
sets and braved the wind -driven
rain that made a mud puddle of
the field between the 25 -yard lines,
in which the players slithered,
skidded and took bellywhoppers, to
look like so many gnomes in their
soaking, fluid -encased uniforms,
* m *
PRINCETON vs. DARTMOUTH
A howling gale out of the East
and lashing rains turned the field
into a quagmire, kept away from
Palmer Stadium all but 5,000 hardy
enthusiasts of the 31,000 who had
purchased tickets and trade this
a travesty of a football game.
k
* *
We could quote plenty more
along the same line but --'-huff Sed.
"A gond way to test your hair's
manageability is to recotub it your-
self before you leave the salon—
under the observant eye of the
stylist, 'There are many tricks to
combing a style and keeping it in
place, and the place to learn them
is at the hairdresser's."
ASarguei'ite Buck, whose work
keeps her traveling front one part
of the country to another, says that
to her amazement and dismay she
finds a1anerican women "growing
hair by the yard!"
Primary Beauty Requirements
Swiss -horn lucre. Buck points
out that "Quantities of hair bear
no relation to beauty. One of the
primary requirements for maximum
attractiveness is a natural, youthful,
and well-groomed appearance,
"Long hair — even beautifully
coitfed long hair—gives a woman
of any age a more mature appear-
ance, The utast exciting coiffures,"
she says, "are designed with hair
no longer than 1?_ to 3 inches front
the hair neckline,
"If you want to become the most
enchanting person in the world for
that special occasion which requires
a chignolt, don't bother to grow it.
Simply pin on a small ready-to-wear
chignon. You can place it low on
the neck for evening.
Custom -Made Styling Best
"But you can and should retain
your own custom-made, individual,
comfortable, and charming short
hair style for daytime wear with
smart suits and becoming millin-
ery."
Another stylist predicts, "Volume
in the back." Instead of resorting
to a hair piece to fill in the gap
between your short haircut and
that chignon you are hoping to
grow, this hairdresser advises, dun.
ing the "grow -in" period, that you
have your hair "shapered" so that
the short ends do not jut out awk-
wardly.
"Inrush the hair up into a defin-
ite line of style," he says. "First:
beginning at the crown, divide the
]fair according to the lines of a
horseshoe—one prong of the shoe
ending at each temple. Now, take
the hair between the two prongs
and, going back three inches from
the hairline, draw a horizonal part.
"You now have two sections of
hair, Comb the front section to the
the right to form a bang of curls.
Comb the back section to the left
in a soft wave,
"The back hair is brushed from
either side toward the center, form-
ing a cascade of soft ringlets. But
always brush the short ends up, to
avoid scraggy ends," warns another
noted expert, "in order to avoid
that scraggy look."

Hair Remains Nape Length
Victor Pito takes still another
view on the subject of longer hair,
This experienced stylist believes
that when people say that "hair will
be longer" they mean actually that
the shingle is ottt. This hairdresser
predicts, on the oasis of his obser-
vations, that hair will remain about
the same length as it was last
spring, namely, nape length,
Mr, Pito finds the one definitely
new trend in hair styles this fall
to be the popularity of the center
part. This has been revived be-
cause it is feminine and presages
the return of somewhat longer,
fuller hairdos.
On the fascinating subject of
bangs, Vctor Vito says, "Bangs
can do nice thingr for w:defy dif-
ferent types of faces and features,
They balance the thin face and
compliment the rotund face; they
are easy to take care of and can
be completely individual; they dra-
matize your eyes, deepening their
color.
"1f your hair tends to grow too
low or too high, they camouflage
the situation. Contrary to the widely
held belief, straight bangs can be
becoming to any type of face.
They'll add length to the face if
the corners above the temples are
lifted, width if the corners are
dropped." \Vhy not begin your
new hair adventure with a bang!
