(lam By BARRY MURKAR
Football is the main topic of
controversy in the school halls
these days. Every high school and
collegiate in the
province is in
there pitching
for the home
team. But along
with watching
the game, the
,pectators enjoy
the pleasant
privilege of
watching those cute little cheer
leaders in the short skirts and
blaring sweaters. Cheerleaders
for most of the school teams have
already been chosen. Among the
names we see: For Danforth
Tech: June Joy, Gwen Thornber,
Joan Dowes, Elia Ainsekorpi;
Brampton: Jean Arscott, Mary
Elliott and Dorothy Lilly along
-with three new ones, Helen Beck-
ford, Jane Austin and Beth
Townsend; York Memorial: Jean
Stelle, Gloria Nesbit, Viola
Prince. Dorothy Hourston, Aud-
drey Hourston, Anne Agnelli and
Eileen Palmer.
What We Want
Since our letters went out ask-
ing for correspondents for Teen -
Town Topics, we have had sev-
eral_ letters inquiring just what is
wanted in the way of news. We
want news of your teen -club, its
members and the activities of the
club in general. If you have a
story on any certain member of
the club, send that along, too.
Anything that you think will
make for interesting reading for
teeners is just what we want for
this column. Let's have some of
that stuff, please, and please print
all names.
Our Teeners Report
Colborne, Ont. - Beverlie Wil-
son: Our Keen Club has not open-
ed for the new season yet. Last
year we had close to a hundred
members. All members have a
membership card and must show
it before they are admitted. Mem-
bers may bring friends, but no
outsiders are allowed. Last year
we held dances every Friday
night. We held several dances in
the Town Hall to raise funds for
a tennis court in our new Memor-
ial Park. Last year we were very
much taken up with our Choral
Club under the direction of Mr.
Dine and hope to continue with
same this year. This year we are
going to form a bowling club..A
meeting about this will be called.
in a few days. We are especial-
ly proud of two of our Keen Klub
members who passed fifth form
last year. The first -Anne Hart
who won a four hundred dollar
scholarship, However she started
in training for a nurse before she
knew about the scholarship. The
second - Margaret Rutherford
who has just begun a year at
Normal. Margaret won the school
ring for being the most lady -like
girl in the school. She has won
additional acclaim of Iate for her
popularity and work at the Jun-
ior Farmers' summer camp.
Runnymede Collegiate -Velma
Davis: Our teen clubs in this lo-
cality are separate from the col-
legiate. We have plenty of activ-
ity in both during the winter and
will try to report the news as it
occurs, once things get under way.
We have not had our elections for
the new year yet, but will be
starting soon.
Racial Discrimination
Bill Torgis of Canadian High
News wasn't fooling when he
made the statement that many
people would be shocked about
the case in, Toronto recently where
a Jewish boy was insulted and re-
buked in a public place. Holding
his temper at the time, the boy
went on eating while three other
young bums called him very
nasty names. Finally they came
over and made grabs at the food
he was eating. Following this,
they threw wet toast at him which
soiled his clothes. He quietly told
them to stop; that he wanted no
trouble. The trio left the restau••
rant but not before telling the
Jewish boy they would get him
outside. One of the waiters con-
tacted a policeman. While the of-
ficer was talking to the trio out-
side and four more, who had
joined them, the Jewish boy went
his way.
It's a fine state of affairs when
a Jewish lad can't sit down to
eat without some filthy -mouthed
Canadian yelling at him, and tell-
ing him to go back to Palestine.
I'm a Canadian right through,
but this is one thing that :Indies
me feel sorry that I am even link-
ed with the likes of some that we
have hanging around. Yes, .rill
Torgis, we were shocked at this
story. We also agree with you
that something should be done
NOW to change this ill-founded
feeling of superiority on the part
of a small minority of Canada's
younger generation.
Here is a chance for you read-
ers. What would you suggest in
a case like this, Send us Itr
view point on the matter and we'11
pool the letters for a feature ar-
ticle in the very near future.

("A Sixbit
With the football season about
half over, the two points' that have
principally impressed us are these.
First, that the forward pass is a
weapon much resembling our Great
uncle's muzzle loading shotgun,
which had such a potent kick that it
was far more likely to injure the
shooter than the game. And second,
that in these days of widespread
education and expert coaching, it is
amazing how many quarterbacks still
suffer from the delusion that games
are won down in the shadow of
their own goalposts.
* * *
We haven't the statistics at hand
-nor are we going to dig among the
figures for them -on how many vic-
tories have already been gained as
a direct result of the interception of
one or more enemy forward passes.
But we wouldn't mind risking a
small wager that it is considerably
more than the number won as a re-
sult of forward 'passes clicking. As
an example; take the game a week or
so ago when the Toronto Argonauts
handily upset the favored Ottawa
Rough Riders. On our way home we
met a chap who asked us how the
battle had gone. "Well," we said,
preparing to give him a blow-by-blow
description, "for one thing, Argos
intercepted seven Ottawa forwards."
"That's enough," he said, stopping
us in mid -career, "how much did
they win by?"
As for our second point, the best
illustration that comes immediately
to mind is something that happened
down in Montreal. With less than
five minutes to play, the Hamilton
Tigers needed a touchdown to tie
things up. Yet down around their
own 20 -yard line their quarterback
called for two line plunges before
kicking -thus wasting precious time
which should have been employed in
booting the ball as far as possible,
and then praying hard that the catch-
er fumble. For, in spite of all mod-
ern improvements, that ancient com-
bination of a punt and a prayer is
still the most deadly weapon in
Canadian football. Nowadays they
seem to have forgotten how to punt,
and aren't so hot in the praying de-
partment either.
* * *
MEMO TO BUSINESS MEN.
When it was recently proposed to
ta.t- football on a professional basis,
it is rumored that one of the most
powerful arguments against such ac-
tion was the football folks being
able to convince the Ottawa autho-
rities that they weren't making any
stoney. This might be a plan worth
trying out on the tax people, next
time your business happens to finish
in the red. Still, somehow we
wouldn't advise building your hopes
too high on getting away with it!
* * *
Memories of a past we had
thought safely buried were stirred by
a report from Germany that Max
Schmeling, of all people, is fighting
again and, what is more, winning
bouts. For a lot of water has gone
over a number of dams and, among
other things, a guy named Hitler --
remember hint? -has come and gone
since the days when the same Mr.
Schmeling was the best-known Ger-
man in the world.
* *
Two of his bouts which we hap-
pened to witness are memorable, less
for the actual fighting titan for the
way they ended. The first, against
Sharkey in New York, wound up in
just about the most hectic mixup we
Critic")
have ever had the pleasure of seeing.
Schmeling was awarded the duke
because of an allegedly foul blow
delivered just 5 seconds before the
finish of the 4th round. But the
award wasn't made till some four
minutes later; and in the meantime
that ring was swarming with man-
agers, seconds, fighters and officials
in a manner beautiful to behold -
from a safe distance -with a battle -
royal threateni. _ to break out at
any second, although -much to our
personal disappointment - it didn't
quite come to that. For it has al-
ways been our ambition to see some
boxing managers do a little real
fighting, instead of standing safely
in the corner hollering, "Mix it with
him, kid. he can't hurt us."
* *
The other Schmeling bout we recall
was with 'Young' Stribling in Cleve-
land. And it comes back to us not
so much on account of the German
scoring a technical knockout in the
15th, but because the promoters, with
some 37 thousand people paying
something like 350 thousand dollars
to see the fracas, somehow or other
contrived to lose fifty grand or more
for their efforts. Now, 18 years after
his American debut, Schmeling is in
the news again; and first thing we
know, will be in process of being
smoked up as a logical opponent for
Joe Louis.
k * *
A city hotelman we know, driving
in the country, stopped at a roadside
stand and priced some of the vege-
tables displayed. "I'd think," he said,
"that right here where the stuff is
grown and with you not having to
make delivery or anything like that,
you'd make your prices a bit lower."
The farmer, who had recognized his
prospective customer,. made reply.
"Back at Exhibition time I dropped
into your place' and had a glass of
beer that was made right there in
Toronto," he said. "And if I remem-
ber rightly, the price was the full
ten cents!"

Canadian Workers
Given Free Tuition
At Frontier College
Canada has a remarkably suc-
cessful college about which all
too many Canadians know little
or nothing. It is called Frontier
College and its classrooms are in
the lumbering, pulpwood, railway
and mining camps scattered all
over the country. The pupils are
the workers in these camps, most-
ly new Canadians who have only
a smattering of English. The
teacher -laborers are young vol-
unteers who are going through
our universities. During the work
hours at the camps they do the
same kind of labor as their pu-
pils. There will be 70 of them this
year, divided among the outposts
of the different provinces. No
tuition fees are charged and there
is a wide variety of subjects, the
only ones banned being those of
a controversial nature such as
politics,
