"When I was a kid, we used to
have a saying about everybody hav-
101 a peck of dirt before ,they die,"
remarked one of the contestants—a
Clineman—the evening after the re-
cent Argonaut -Blue Bomber mud -
ball, championship affair. "And if
that's the case I'm away ahead of
schedule, because this afternoon I
must have swallowed enough to
cover my next three tinges on earth."
=k :k
Probably he had, at that. But we
greatly doubt that the mud of
Varsity Field left anything like as
bad a taste in the mouth as did
the remarks of certain disgruntled
Western officials and hangers-on.
Mr. Les Lear, of the defunct Cal-
gary Stampeders, was especially
hard to take. He gave the impres-
sion that he: had 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 visiting such
a dirty and poorly -managed little
dump.
� k
As a matter of fact, on his per-
sonal 1950 showing—and that of
his team—Mr. Lear was dead lucky
to even be in Varsity Stadium that
afternoon without paying full ad-
mission fee. But, we suppose, it was
' ever thus. As the late Jerry Shea
use ; to say, with some bitterness,
to a bunch of us who used to make
:his Yonge Street vaudeville em-
porium something of a hangout,
"It's always you guys who come
in on the cuff, not the cash cus-
tomers, that beef loudest about
what a lousy show I have."
And, when all is said and done,
hat's all h shooting about 'n
w the oo ut 1
g
regard to this matter of good, bad
or indifferent playing conditions?
A thoroughbred of real champion-
ship class can run 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 swine when it "comes up
mud." We haven't heard any
�R. 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
their greatly over - ballyhooed
favourites.
r
Nor, when you come right down
to it, do we recall anybody taking
the football moguls — Eastern or
Western—and twisting their =arms
in qrder to make them double the
-� length of their football seasons.
The football promoters are in the
business strictly for the dough. So,
w with mightly few exceptions, are
► the players. Do they expect the
paying public to -cuddle them, and
cry over them, if they have to earn
that dough, once in a while, the
r hard way?
e ,
:b 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
F 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
R sole reason the finals are played in
the Queen City is because they
draw a whole lot more money than
jthey would anywhere else in Cana-
da. Let the Canadian Rugby Union
people give Varsity a ten-year guar-
antee—or even a fire—that they'll
s* y there, even should somebody
build twice as large a stadium else-
where, and then it will be time to
trek about twelve thousand dollar
tarpaulins, which might turn out 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 up that Argo front-line,
at that. '

Individuality In Hair -Styling
Counts For Most, Experts Say
One of the most attractive fea-
tures of hair is that you can always
do things with it. Unless, of course,
you prefer it, there need never be
that deadly sameness about the way
you arrange your hair, that cut-and-
dried stodginess that shafts 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,
h should soil ys dth m • re manner in a �
you do your hair?
The principal question at the
moment is, "how long ought your
hair to be?" NTow 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 women'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 Jungst,
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 dollar -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," he says.
Your new hair style, if properly
shaped and curled, should spring
back into place from one combing
to another, The average woman
needs a shaping job every five or
six weeks.
"Don't think," lie 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

DIAN ALL-STARS" could make

Professional outfit?
They come here—those players
and coaches—simply because they
can do better financially than they
could in their own country. If they
don't like the conditions they find
here, let them go back to "God's
country." Or forever hold their
peace.
An just in case we Canadians
think that our playing setups are
"small time" as our American im-
ports would have us think, here are
a• few quotations' regarding games
played, the very same day, south
of the line in "Big League" college
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, mud -encased uniforms.
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 made this
It 'travesty of a football game.
We could quote plenty more
41etg the same line but'--Nuff Sed,
"A good way to test your hair's
manageability is to recoIllb 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."
Marguerite Buck, whose work
keeps her traveling from one part
of the country to another, says that
to her amazement and dismay she
finds American women "growing
hair by the yard!"
Primary Beauty Requirements
Swiss -born 3lme. 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
coi .fled long hair—gives a woman
of any age a more mature appear-
ance. The most exciting coiffures,
she says, "are des:gned with hair
no longer than 1;; to 3 inches from
the hair neckline.
"If you want to become the most
enchanting person in the world' for
that special occasion which requires
a chignon, 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 s
grow, this hairdresser advises, dur-
ing the "grow -in" period, that you
have your hair "shapered" so that
the short ends do not jut out awk-
wardly,
"Brush the hair up into a defin-
ite line of style," he says. "First;
beginning at the crown, divide the
hair 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 horizonai 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 blush the short ends up, to
avoid scraggy ends," warns another
noted expert, "in order to avoid
that scraggy look."

in 30 seconds.
Hair Remains Nape Length
Victor Vito 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 out. 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. Tito 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 u er hairdos.
On the fascinating subject of
bangs, Victor Vito says, "Bangs
can do nice things for widely dif-
ferent types of faces and features.
They balance the thin face and
compliment the , round face;,, they
are easy to take care of and can
be completely individual;• they dra-
matize your eyes, deepening their
color.
"If 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." Why not begin your
new hair adventure with a bang!

are published in the interest
of a better understanding,

the English language.
'fTHIMBiE"
"Thimble", meaning
a protective cover for the

rives from the Anglo-Saxon
thymeZ, a thumb -stall, from the
Anglo-Saxon thuma, thumb.
The le indicates the instrument
itself, and is used commonly
in our language, as in handle,
from hand.
The early "thimble" was a
leather covering, while the
Old Norse thuMall was the
thumb of a glove. Thus the
word "thimble"—so called
because it was originally worn
on the thumb.
