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?

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.

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. Malam
Yukuba Wanka, 30 year-old ac-
countant explained that lions
"live in the bush in Nigeria, and
rely.. Englishmen seek them
there we • leave then alone!"

turn thine eves.
Aria pause awhile from letters,
