Sports — And One Thi
or Another
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic")
While talking the other evening
with a friend who is a veteran foot-
ball referee—Yes, indeed, even ref-
erees have friends, although not many
-he came up with a rather interest-
ing suggestion. "Our educational
authorities," he said, "spend a lot of
time and money on these Sight Sav-
ing and Sight Improvement Classes
for school children. I have an idea
that would get them far better and
quicker results, and at a big saving
too." Having nothing better to do at
the moment than' listen, we told him
to go ahead.
* * *
"Back in the days of railroading
they used to have a saying that the
quickest way to improve; the breed of
cattle was to cross a cow with' a
C.P.R. locomotive. No matter what
sort of animal it was to start with,
as soon as the claim for damages
Went in it turned out to have been
a pure-bred bossy worth hundreds
of dollars," he said. "And my plan
would work every bit as miraculous-
ly on the human eye." Although we
had a sneaking notion of what might
be coming, again we told hint to pro-
ceed.
* * *
"I'd take every kid with weak eye-
sight," he continued, "make a sports
writer out of hint, and give him a
card for the Press Box. That would
do the trick sure. For while I've
known plenty of you guys that write
about sport who can't normally rec-
ognize anything smaller than an ele-
phant at a distance of six feet, just
put you in a Press Coop and you
are immediately. 'gifted with ,sight
better than Annie Oakley ever had,
and she could shoot all the spots out
of a ten of diamonds at a hundred
,yards."
* * *
He spoke rather bitterly, but we
think he 'had reason kr his beef.
Rabid fans and players •heated by the
excitement of the game may have
sonie excuse for seeing things as
they would like them to be, rather
than the way they actually happen..
But when sports writers at a foot-
ball game, situated anything from
fifty to a hundred yards from some
play, cotne out 'with something like
"The referee certainly missed that
one," we sometimes can't help won-
dering where they get that wonderful .
vision.

DEFINITION—Dyed-in-The -
Wool Sports Fan— A man making
$35 a 7ceck and behind with his
room rent, who will go without
lunch for several days in order to

just a little while before the Mus-
tangs -Varsity game in London, we
wrote something about the atnazing
planner in which the Mustangs had
dominated intercollegiate football
for the past few seasons --hinting
that a great deal of their superior.
ity might be due. to the mental atti-
pade of their opponents. Briefly,
McGill, Queens and Varsity played
as though they knew they Were
eaten before the opening whistle
blew.
* * *
What happened in London seems
Thave borne' out this contention.
hough we didn't see the tie gatne
. , . choosing to watch Argos give
Rough Riders a pushing -round In.
g
stead ... friends who were present
told us about it. They say that Var-
sity took the field in the spirit of,
"Well, we've got nothing to lose, so
let's have some fun with these guys
anyway." And before the struggle
had proceeded more than ten min-
utes, it was the Mustangs who were
wearing that look of "What's going
on here shouldn't happen to a dog."
* * *
Altogether, the tie game was per-
haps the best thing that could have
happened to college football. Over
the season's play, Mustangs were
best, and deserve the title. But from
now on nobody's going to just take
their word that they're the tops.
They'll' have to prove iton the field
—which is just the way it should be
Man 0' War was undoubtedly a
great racehorse. But a lot of the
jocks on horses that opposed him,
rode as if they had their eyes set
on second money.
* * *
And to our younger readers we
might exipain that the pictures and
descriptions put out regarding the
recent opening of the Metropolitan
Opera House were not—as far
as we can learn—Red propaganda.
But to a populace composed largely
of people sprinting desperately to
keep within reach of rising costs of
living, the Reds couldn't have done
better if they'd tried.

heard the train. The Minald
Special was approaching Dugald.
The transcontinental waited for
the special to pass. But it never
did. There was a roar as it
ploughed into the stationary
train. In seconds coaches were
ablaze. Shields rushed towards
the wreck.

took her to where he had left
the child. Pace down in the debris
there was another woman. Shields
dragged her to safety, and then
went to rescue a man who was
badly injured. Back again he
went. A man was pinned by the
legs in the fire. Shields released
him and carried him clear. Ho
then attempted a sixth rescue.
But the dames made it impossible
to eater the coaches, so he turned
his attention to the persons he
had saved, although his hand
was gashed and bleeding, his
arra swollen with blisters. He
finally found a truck and rushed
the five injured to hospital.
