4t The Olympic Games of 1956 are
Weedy giving cause for worry through-
out the world democracies, raised by the
threat of Russia's governmental mass
development and subsidization of ath-
letes. And we urge this is the time, In
Canada as elsewhere, for action.
The British Empire, the United States, among the free
countries of the world In which sport flourishes as a natural,
and not a forced growth, and all others in the same happy
category, should be deeply concerned. Surely the democ-
racies, Canada included, must send every qualified athlete to
have a chance to match Russia. '
We will never, of course, beat Russian propaganda in the
Pravda. There is •no official team score in the Olympic
Gaines, and Russia can score as she pleases.- Last time she
was kind enough to give the United States a tie with com-
putation known only to Russia, a system widely at variance
from that unofficially and informally accepted in other na-
tions. Next time, the system will be improved to denote a
Russian triumph, unless the victory of the democracies is
overwhelming.
We, in Canada, need money to send athletes, but first
we need athletes to send. Time is short. Men not already in
training will need to start an intelligent workout program
and campaign immediately to have any chance of being
worth anything in Olympic competition.
If we don't get a program going, we'll have few, if any,
athletes ready in 1956. And those won't be prepared to com-
pete in November which is normally out of season in our
land.
This is something the Amateur Athletic Union should
take up immediately, in a practical way, with practical men
at the head of the organization, men not interested in petty
sports politics, but men interested in development of our ath-
letes through the medium of competition. This is the only
way — competition based on efficient modern scientific train-
ing methods.
We have at least one great 1500 metre prospect, Rich
Ferguson. We have some fine boxers and wrestlers, excellent
swimmers, both boys and girls. Just what we have in Canada
we'll never know until a better degree of competition is
developed.
Our hockey supremacy is no longer a matter to be taken
for granted. There is ample material, but a high degree of
selectivity must be exercised here. For other events, track -
field, swimming, gymnastics and the like, we believe that a
series of Olympic preparatory tests and meets, with govern-
ment financing in part, could develop a few athletes worthy
to carry Canada's colours, and compete with the best.

Matchmaking Ey
Slot Machine
Thanks to the enterprise of a
local grocer, many young wo-
men living in Lubeck, . Germany,
now have a novel method of
greeting the men who may be
their future husbands:
Outside his store he has in-
ntalled a slot machine -an "auto-
maticmarriage maker''
A romantic girl inserts two
marks, presses a button, lifts up
a flap and finds a description of
a young man who is looking for
a wife. It gives the colour of
his eyes, his height and other
facts about him. But it doesn't
give his name and address.
If the girl is interested, she
gets this from the grocer who
also arranges when and where
the couple shall meet and what
colour hat or flower the girl
shall wear in order that the man
can recognize her.
At first the local frauleins
were shy about takingadvan-
tage of this novel aid to matri-
mony. But when the news got
round that several girls had
found husbands through it they
overcame their shyness and bus-
iness is booming..
A young man .can also meet
a .potential wife by putting two
sharks in another slot, so the
!grocery store is developing into
a successful marriage agency. If
the grocer thinks a couple would
not suit each other he declines
go arrange a meeting and no ro-
mance results.
The knowledge of man is as
the waters, some descending
from above, and some springing
up from beneath; the one in-
rmed by the light of nature,
the other inspired by divine
revelation.
—Bacon.
England's Great
Cup Final
After all the excitement and
sensations of the seven earlier
rounds, the sustained struggles
of replays and extra replays, it
is to be Newcastle United and
Manchester City for the English
Football Association Challenge'
Cup final at Wembley Stadium
on May 7.
This is definitely "the" day in
each English season. The appeal
of it is felt in all parts of the
world as soccer fans of 78 na-
tions turn their attention to the
country which gave them the
game they all like, and play so
well. In England itself the en-
thusiasm for the great • day is so
tremendous . that tickets could be
sold 10 times over, even at en-
hanced prices. These tickets,
however, never go up for sale
to the general public. And only
a small percentage of the sup-
porters of the actual finalists
who are allocated 15,000 each
ever stand any chance of secur-
ing one of these precious pieces
of. pasteboard entitling them to
a standing .place at. Wembley's
100,000 capacity stadium. .
This year Newcastle will be
snaking history as the first club
ever to make 10 appearances in
the final.At the moment it
shares with . West Bromwich Al-
bion the record of nine. Aston
Villa stands next with eight and
then come Blackburn Rovers
and Wolverhampton Wanderers
at seven apiece. Rival Manches-
ter City is making its fifth ap-
pearance in the final, but its
first in 21 years.
Having been to Wembey twice
before in the past five years
Newcastle is something of a reg- -
ular customer, especially as both
visits have ended with the tro-

ton Villa and Blackburn Rovers
in the record class of six wins..
At present the Tyneside team
stands on the five mark in coin-
pany with a London • amateur
outfit no longer in existence, the
Wanderers.
A proud pioneering public
school and Army club, the Wan-
derers won the trophy the first
two occasions it was played for
in 1871-2. Later, through 1876-
7-8 they won it three times in to
row and handed it back as a pe,'-
petual challenge trophy ” never
to be won outright. Seventd'en
years later, however. it was wean
outright — by a light fingered
gentleman who abstracted. ` it
from a Birmingham shop win-
dow where Aston Villa had it
on exhibition. Aston Villa was
fined and a new clip was .do-
nated to take its place.
This new trophy, an exact re-
plica of the old one and costing
only $75 instead of the $600
gold one advocated by a slumber
of Football Association . officials
remained until 1910 when New-
castle became its last winner. In
that year the F.A. withdrew No.
2 from competition and present-
ed it to Lord Kinnaird in recog-
nition :of his 21 yearsvaluable_:.
service as a player and acinitis
trator. The third silver trophy,
after the style of an antique urn,
weighting 175 ounces and stand-
ing 19 inches high exclusive of
plinth, also has a most magnetic
lure for Newcastle. No other
club has held it more times and
no club has accomplished the re-
peat that Newcastle managed by
consecutive wins in 1951 and
1952.
Manchester Favorite
Yes, Newcastle has a proud
and honorable cup tradition. But
despite it Manchester City is fa-
vorite to carry the glittering
prize away from the hands of
Queen Elizabeth on May 7. One
of the main reasons for this fic-
kle state of affairs is that Man-
chester is a much more consist-
ent and incisive combination, 'The
Lancashire club's record in
league play this 1954-55 season
has been far superior to New-
castle's and its cup play much
more impressive.
She walks in beauty, Like the
night -
Of cloudless climes and starry
skies;
And all that's best of dark and

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender

Which heaven to gaudy day
denies.

Wrestling Purse
as Just Two -bits
This is the tale of a man who
once fought for a bowl of soup,
who was branded a failure as a
fighter, but who—well, suppose
you read the story.
Back in 1912, a shabby hobo
kid came out of the West yearn-
ing to be a. fighter. For a while
he bummed around looking for
fights. Now and then, he was
lucky enough to get one. But he
couldn't make a go of it. He lost
more often than he won. And
his fights were few and far be-
tween.
One day, .broke, hungry and
discouraged, he fell in with a
chap named Andy Malloy who
was also 'a small-time pug. Mal-
loy had an idea. He knew of a
place where there was a carni-
val of some kind and he sug-
gested that the two of them go
there and light each other for
whatever purse they' could get.
The hobo kid readily agreed to
the proposition, and the two
weary, broken-down pugs hitch-
hiked to Olanthe, Colorado,
where the carnival was to be
held.
When they arrived at Olanthe,
they learned, to their dismay,
anal; the carnival was still -some
two weeks away. In the mean-
time, of course, they had to get a
place to stay, and something to
eat. Andy Malloy, with the hobo
kid trailing after him, went to
the town hotel proprietor and
talked him into letting then( put
up for two weeks on the cuff, on
the proposition that the two
men were going to put on a bout
and would pay their bills when
they collected for the contest.
The whole deal involved the im-
mense sum of ten dollars but to
the two broken-down pugs, it
was a fortune. The hotel roan
let them stay.
The next day, Malloy, the
more ingenious of the two, went
around town to sound out the
natives on which would go over
better, a boxing match or a
wrestling match. From what he
learned, he gathered that the
natives weren't hot on boxing.
So he came back to the hotel
and told his kid partner that he
should forget fighting. From
then on, he was a wrestler. The
hobo kid, desperate to make a
couple of bucks to eat, readily
agreed, even though he had nev-
er 'wrestled before in his life.
The match was set for the
next day, best two falls out of
three. The hotel proprietor was
referee as well as .box-office man.
The crowd was disappointingly
small. The first fall took, fifteen
minutes, the second only four.
And the hobo 'kid ' was thrown
both times.
After it was all over,, the hobo
kid and his .pal went around to
the box office tn collect. The gate
was $10.25. The proprietor looked
at the broken-down couple and
tossed them a quarter.
"What do you mean, handln'
us twenty-five cents?" beefed
the kid. "I took a going-over in.
that bout. I ain't fightin' for no
quarter!"
"Listen, ' bum," sneered the
hotel man, "who ever told you
you're a fighter? You can't fight
and you can't wrestle. Take my
advice and forget fightin' for
you'll never earn more than a
quarter at a time. Now take the'
two bits and beat it before 1
Change my mind."
Well, they took the , quarter,
split it fifty-fifty, and each had
a bowl of soup.
