HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1951-11-29, Page 6Don't Try Wrestling With A. Boli , When the British and Empire heavy - weight boxing champion Jack Gardner came face to face with a three-year-old bull recently, Gardner admitted that it was "a terrifying experience, and I thought I had had it." Jack was out for his early morn- ing jog -trot. The bull had escaped from a nearby farm, and with a chain dangling frons the ring in its nose it chased the champion 200 yards along the road. The chase ended in a field with boxer and bull running round a hayrick. They went round four tinges before Jack was able to plunge through a hedge to safety. An infuriated bull is capable of making even the strongest men feel nervous. \ 'hhout weapons, a plan stands next to 110 chance of vanquishing a fully grown bull in a tussle. :Many a strong man has tried it, but the bull's neck and shoulder muscles have proved too tough. With a single sideways "nod" of his head a bull has been known to crush a man's ribs. Spanish buil-fighters have been tossed thirty feet into the air as a result of the throwing power of the bull's neck muscles. This is why a bull is tethered by means of a chain attached to a steel ring through his nose. If he tries to break the chain he hurts his nose. In the old days Indian mahara- jahs used to amuse themselves by pitting the plight of the bull against other animals and champion wrest- lers. The bull versus the tiger was a favorite match, but the bull invari- ably won. Champion wrestlers usually had to be carried out of the arena, though the famous Madrassi wrest- ler Krisla Dass was the victor on several occasions. He would at- tack the animal from the rear, throwing it by grasping a hind leg in each arm. "Gently does it" is the motto of farmers who often have to lead their bulls to market. They acquire the technique of giving just the right amount of pull on the nose ring to persuade the bull that he would he more comfortable if he stepped forward. A too vicious pull, however, can really hurt him and transform him into several hundred pounds of lumbering destruction. THE BIBLE The Bible is a teacher's hand- book. But the teacher must be one commissioned by God to teach. Most subjects taught in High School or College have accompany- ing handbooks. But these are never meant to do away with a teacher. And a teacher must be commis' sioned to teach. Over 50 writers were involved in writing the Bible. It consists of 73 books. The story of God's in- terest in mankind before Christ is recorded in the first 46 books. The remaining 27 books tell the story of the foundation of Christi- anity. The last book of the New Testament was written about the year 90-95 A.D. Iii the 60's and 70's A.D., many Christians were put to death be- cause of their Christian faith. Yet at that date the New Testament hadn't been written. The Christians had learned of Christ by listening to the Apostles and those appoint- ed by them to teach His dictrines, The foundations of Christianity were well laid. St. Luke in the Acts of the Apostles, records the first history of the Church written about the year 62 A.D. It had spread all over the Roman Empire. And all this without the benefit of the New Testament. Few people could read or write in those days. Christ had arranged to pass on His truths without dilution or er- ror. The Church was not after thought of the Apostles. It was planned by Christ. This is one of a series of messages by Father V. McGivney, Parish Priest, St. Francis Parish, Pickering, Ont. Machine M ..rve1s Duplic.::, to Nature's Five Human Senses Modern technology has reached the point where its mechanical instruments now not only perform the exact functions of the five human senses, but actually surpass them in accuracy« Here are the instruments, seen at work in the Du Pont Laboratories. Smelling escaped gases around pipe fittings is the function of the leak detector used here by an engineering d e pa rt me n t employee. Seeing—is performed by at ex- pensive spectroprotometer. A chemical expert uses it to deter- mine the axact color of paint. Feeling machined surfaces for scratches is done with a surface profilometer. it is being used in mechanical development lab.

Our senior football season is finished, at long last, although at one time—what with ties, playoffs and so forth—it looked very much as if they wouldn't be able to get the boys out of the huddles before Christmas. Altogether it was a fairly exciting season; the most memorable feature possibly being the fact that the Argonauts—by re- fusing to pay for having the tar- paulin put down. at Varsity for their first playoff with Tiger-cats— probably just plain Scrooged them- selves out of a tidy fortune. In fact, as some miscreant remarked, Argos committed slough-icide (OUCH). As for big time hockey, the lads seem to have heard that it is twice as easy to get into the playoffs than it is to stay out of them, and are struggling for the rarer honor. Like one old -tinier who was asked about the form of 'Canadian -bred race horses and replied, "Thim Canadi- an-breds certainly do bate one an- other with rare consistency." And with all due respect to "Mr. Hockey" — Conn Smythe, that is, as if you didn't know—the sooner the National Hockey League gets rid of those tie games, the sooner the cash registers in certain arenas will start to jingle. Now we turn to another sport— . one which we have somewhat ne- glected in the past—the game of table -tennis. And until we studied some statistics recently, we had no idea what a huge sport chasing the celluloid had become. Incidentally, the table-tcnnisers seem to Have Sun Motor Runs By Candle, Too—Sunlight, Tamp light or the mere flicker of a small candle will set the balsa wood wheel on the shaft of this "sun motor" to spinning. General Motors engineerf developed the device which is being shown throughout the country to illustrate an important principle -- that sunlight is power, and that it holds vast potential as a power source. GM engineers conrede their "sun motor" is an extremely •w -efficiency power producer, and that it f=olds no dues as tr how to harness the sun's energy. settled the perplexing problem of amateurism in a manner that is an example to some other sports we mgiht name. They •s'olved the prob- lem by just defining all participants, paid or simon-pure, as "players" and letting it go at that. * * * England is .a hotbed of table - tennis, • although its popularity is world-wide. Twelve years ago there were in, England 214 leagues, which represented 4008 clubs with an esti- mated membership of 75,000. When tournament play was resumed, fol- lowing the war, these figures had dropped to 110-2,200 and 35,000. The same respective totals stand today at 350-6,800—and 130,000. That represents a whole lot of pinging and ponging, and no mis- take, for just one country. * * * At the present time England possesses the world singles chain - pion in John Leach and the wom- en's doubles champions in the 18- year-old London twins, Diane and Rosalind Rowe. Two former world champions, Victor Barna and Ri- chard Bergmann who have found sanctuary in that country from cen- tral Europe nd have become natur- alized British subjects, are others who have done a great deal to raise English prestige in international play. * * * World championships and inter- national play generally are con- ducted under the watchful eye of the International Table Tennis Fe - deration, a body with more .than 40 nations in membership. Recently the I.T.T.F. issued its annual rank- ing list. Occupants of the top three places for men were Leach (Eng- land); Andreadis (Czechoslovakia) and Sitio (Hungary). * * * Highest from U.S.A1, was Cart - land in 14th place but a special footnote was added stating that U.S.A.
