Zurich Herald, 1955-05-26, Page 31.114414 ilnwks Horne -and -Home Senes Best Thing For Grey Cup iseeeerte Eemefe ole44040 /'This column rejoices at the sudden and surprising decision of the Canadian Rugby- Union to transfer the Grey Cup game of 1955 from the traditional site in Toronto out to the British Empire Games stadiilm in Vancouver. It may be a move toward an objec- tive this column has been advocating for the past three years, namely: a two -game series for the Grey Cup annually, in the cities represented by the eastern -and western winners re- spectively, total points to count. Hitherto, the western champions were obliged to travel east, whether they liked it or not, meet the eastern champions in Toronto's fine Varsity Stadium. We don't claim that this one -day clash of east and west wasn't a great show, with plane, drama, background, everything. It was all of that - wonderful. Wonderful, that is, for those who could see it. But what about those who, for one reason or another, couldn't bet to Toronto to watch their heroes in the crowning football game of the season? Those are the fans who were getting the short end of the stick in this one -city deal. Taking the Grey Cup out to Vancouver breaks this one - city tradition, and also is a smart bit of promotion. Vancou- ver is new in professional football. Annie Stukus fought an uphill battle there last year and in the city's first venture into the game, his club got amazingly fine support. It was a throw -back to the long -ago days when pro- fessional hockey, as new to the west coast then as football was last year, invaded Vancouver, 'Victoria and New West- minster and became a tremendous game overnight But V'ancouver, in football, can do with the shot -in -the -arm the Grey Cup will provide. We trust this iota just a one-year move. Other cities,, east and west, would like to be hosts to the Grey Cup finals. ,find they deserve it. But we still believe in our own idea, a "two -city play-off between the two champions. Baseball does it. Hockey does it. lit's good for them. So why not for eootball? r i s Roil The sailor has a saying that no .ship is too big to roll! Although this saw has come down from an earlier day—what vies considered a huge ship then would now be thought a small abaft it holds true with the leviathans plying the sea today. This fact is emphasized by the Cunard Steamship Company's recent installation of ail anti- rrolling device in its 83,673 -ton liner Queen Elizabeth. The roll oe a ship is the ree suit of a complex mixture of impulses, of which two are of particular importance. These are theperiod of roll of the ship tend the frequency of the wave motion. Every class of ship has an in- herent period of roll. For a con: plete oscillation the time of a !toll ranges frerii 8 to 10 seconds for merchant vessels to approxi- mately. --5 seconds for destroyers. .lxlave.periods vary greatly de- pending on the height of waves and the rapidity of their onward movement And the effect of any particular sequence of waves on n ship depends on the angle at which they strike the vessel's ]null. The ' eftect can also be 'varied by changes of course or speed of the ship, The effect of waves on a ship• can be likened to impulses given to child's swing. are all know how easy it is to make a swing go higher and higher when little fillips are applied at just the right period of the swing's sway. When the period of roll and the impinging " waves synchre- uize, the angle of ' roll becomes increasingly great, and .the ship Night eventually roll over were it not that friction from the ves- sel's side going through the water dampens out the roll. Also las the ship's period of roll changes, resulting in a cessation a the synchronism. The first antirolling device ptsed, and which is still to be found on practically every sea- going ship.. of any size, was the bilge keel. This is a rib of metal secured to a ship for some dis- tance on each side at about the turn of the bilge. Its width de- pends on the size and type of the ship, and it reduces rolling by the resistance offered to its passage through the water. Although effective to some degree, bilge keels do not pro- vide the stability demanded in Modern vessels, in merchant- men to ensare the comfort of passengers and abate damage to material, and in men -of -War to provide steady gun platforms, Consequently the search for bet- ter methods continued, writes Captain Fdereriek L. Oliver in The Christian Science Monitor." Some years ago, a 'Herr Praline, a noted German naval rnchiteet, proposed the use of Ontieolling tames, and a number of .ships were 90 equipped. There considerable theory involved in his project, but essentially it Eased trhsrs consists of a vertical tank on each side of a ship which is con- nected at the bottom by a hori- contal duct -and at the top by an air pipe. With the tanks about half fill- ed with water, a proper adjust- ment of valves and baffles will so control the surge of water in - the tank that its inertia can be used to counteract the tendency to roll, The schemeis fairly suc- cessful in coping with heavy rolling, but it is not effective with moderate rolling, is noisy and uses valuable space, ` For these reasons it has not come into extensive use, According to accounts, a group of Stanford University techni- cians is now working on an anti- roll device in which water is transferred between tanks on either side of a ship—by pumps controlled by an instrument call- ed "angular accelerometer." This scheme may reduce the noisy rush of water inherent in the Frahm tank method, but it in- volves the use of internal space in a ship which can be otherwise profitably utilized. Rotor Device Installed A more generally known anti - roll device is a gyroscopic con- trivance that has been installed in various ships. This scheme checks rolling by using the re- sistance that a heavy, rapidly spinning motor exerts against being, moved out of its plane of rotation. Such an installation was tried in U.S.S. Henderson about 40 years go. It had two heavy rotors revolving in opposite directions to eliminate torque, and gave fair results. However, it weigh- ed around 200 tons, took up con- siderable space, and required ernstant attention, It had the fur- ther disadvantage of possibly set_ ting up malfunctions which could tend to roll +he ship over. The installation was removed from the ship during World War 1. In 1931, the huge liner Rex was provided with a gyroscopic stabilizer. For some years con- siderable publicity attended this installation, but it apparently did not come up to expectations, and the sister ship Conte cli Sa- voie was not similarly equipped. Both ships passed from the pic- ture during World War II. And now comes an anti -rolling device in the huge liner Queen Elizabeth ',a ship large enough not to roll i:f such a ship were possible. This scheme is a -radi- eal departure from any previous- ly tried project. Known as the Denny -Brown stabilizer, it con- sists of two fins on each side in the forward three-quarters of the ship. Each fin is quite small as compared with the size of the ship, being approximately seven feet wide and projecting 1.2 feet 6 inches from the side of the ship. The pairs of ins are located. 15 feet up from the keel line and THAT'S A NICE SMILE - Posing for his portrait at Marineland, a . porpoise smiles nicely for the underwater photographer. PIAIN ORSE SE SE .. By F. (BOB) VON PILLS -- _ What Communism does to lands and people under its domination is best illustrated by recent reports from Germany. The renewed and aggravated encirelenxent and isolation of the Western sectors of Berlin ' by the surrounding Soviet domina- ted parts of Germany is reach- ing a point where the aim .ap- pears to be to seal off Free Berlin hermetically under the slogan "a defensive ring around Berlin". The plans now adopted :Foresee an expansion of the area around Berlin that serves as a "control belt" with' particu- lar regard to supervision sepa- rately of general travel in and. out of Berlin and of commuter services. The local puppet authorities. had more extensive plans asso- ciated with the introduction of conscription in West Germany and timed to coincide with that operation. These plans aimed at something like a new Berlin blockade, It appears, however, that the supreme masters of these authorities, the Soviets themselves, were not prepared at this moment to allow mea- sures that might not be capable of political "localization" and, hence, might get out of control. Hunger in Soviet Zone Ten years afterthe collapse of the Nazi regime and the mili- tary ilitary triumph of the Allies the population of the Soviet occu- pied zone of Germany and of the East sector of Berlin are associating the blessings of spring with the menace of hung- er and starvation because of the failure of the agricultural and economic policies of the Soviet dominated local regime. Spring- time once again brings out long queues of ill -nourished and ill -clad subjects waiting pa- tiently before the various food outlets of the regime for what fraction of established rations existing supplies may vouchsafe them. The butter ration is no longer available not even in the privi- leged HO shops and at a raised price corresponding to $2.30 per pound. One third of the estab- lished monthly ration of fats is supposed to be allowable in but- ter but is not forthcoming. The sugar situation is similar. Sugar is not on sale even at free market prices and the ra- tions are not provided. It is difficult for the normal con- sumer to find sources for the meat and sausage ration. There is a shortage of bread and the authorities are preparing to in- troduce a one -type loaf of bread in order to master the situation. Soviets Live Off The Land A contributory factor is the are 141 feet apart. They can be retracted into water -tight recess- es within the ship, when the ves- sel goes alongside a pier, or on other occasions when exterior objects might cause oamage. Each fin is moved *by a hy- draulically operated ram which tilts it so it exerts a pull to counteract the roll, the rams be- ing actuated at precisely the cor- rect instant by a small gyro- scopic gear. This system of antiroll control has heretofore teen successfully used in smaller vessels, but the Queen Elizabeth installation is the first to use two sets of tins. A recent trial of i.he Queen Elizabeth at sea is reported to have been successful in ironing out rolls to a minimum. So it may be that the roll can be taken out of Shits and out of the sailors' epigram, foreign trade policy of, or im- posed upon, the local authorities. Heavy industry having been re- turned to its privileged position in the zonal economy consumer needs are no longer considered primary. Forced exports benefit the Soviet Union and the other countries in the Soviet bloc. In the Soviet occupied part of Germany itself the occupation forcescontinue to live off the land to the detriment of the in- habitants. A renewed wave of land collectivization does not help matters, but is embittering the farmers. When Eg Jim S '> eta q it Wasn't Fdtrny When Jim Thorpe played in the minor leagues, one of his team-mates was Al Schacht,later famous as baseball's number one clown and comedian. Al, who was easy-going and a wise- cracker, struck up a friendship with the moody and surly In- dian. But there was one thing Al forgot to observe about the Indian. When Jim Thorpe grin- ned he was mad; and the wider the grin, the madder he was. One day at a party of the ball- players of the club, comedian Al Schacht began ribbing the boys. Soofl the crowd was howling with laughter. Before long, Al tried a gag on big Jim Thorpe. The Indian growled—then smiled. Al thought the big fellow liked -being kidding. He continued joshing and the Indian smiled and grinned wider and wider, Suddenly, Jim grabbed the com- edian -ballplayer by the scruff of the neck, crossed swiftly to the open window dragging the star- tled ribber with him, lifted the body into the air and dangled it outside a mere three stories above the ground. "`Let got" screamed the fright- ened Schacht. "What are you doing, you crazy Indian! You'll drop me and I'll be killed! Pull ene in out of here, I tell your" • "Take it easy, Al," grinned the big Indian. "Let's hear how your jokes sound in the fresh air!" Jim dangled the squirming clown outside the window for several minutes. When he brought him in, Al Schacht al- most collapsed on the floor. It took hint a Jong time to learn to talk again. And the first thing he said when he could say anything at all was: "Jim Thorpe ,is the strongest man in the world— thank God!" LIONS We're sure this is the height of something or other. Just what, we dunno yet. Anyhow, seven men from the lion coun- • try of Nigeria were visiting in London recently. They are very anxious to go to the zoo and see a real, live. lion.
