Next saturday Jwj Toronto. An Oit Aiva a in i pretty Sene Tilly among football i no Perls cd Oryx he re. Cast and j supporters of the Western entry fool that in View of the fact that . Their Standard bearer must he Jose to Weir plays to conform to a role of ruler that they have Little Oto in and do not like Hilj secondly. They Are obliged to Lay i o f a month. For the i to establish a Vii met in Enid i or thai thilly. Must form to eligibility regulations put into Force despite vigorous Western protests and unit finally a in lose they Are denied the privilege a final in he West the least the governing Powers might do is concede the Western tiflis a some voice in the selection of the East Jern grounds on which the final is to be played. Apropos of All this and the decision of the . Came word wednesday from John , first vice president of the Canadian Union and the Western inter provincial representative on that body throws a rather strange Side Light on the vote taken last Sun Day re the venue of the final. Writing 1o Frank the . President. Or. Bannerman states that he arrived in Calgary. From his Cabin in the Foothills late j sunday night to find that or. De Lalanne. The . Proxy had been trying to reach him regard ing his views and that he had already contacted or. Ross of the . And prof. Mathews of the Western intercollegiate. Nigger in Wood pile or. Bannerman got in touch with Delalane by phone and stated that he had been advised that yours truly had consented on behalf of the Winnipeg club to playing in Sarnia won or in Ottawa if the latter team were the finalist. On learning this. Or. Bannerman says that he voted for this arrangement although fully prepared As were Mathews and Ross to Battle nobly Lor the bomber demands to choose their grounds. Needless to say we Are nonplussed if not amazed. When called in by or. Delalane we stated issues Montreal. Nov. M. A. Douala inc. President of the Canadian Tugby Union said to Day that to had told Bannerman. Of Calgary a West Ern member of the . Executive exactly what i had been told by Joe Ryan and nothing else c o n c. C r n i n s Kyan s stand on lie site for the Dominion football final. Or. Ryan knows exactly what he told me and what he said is what i told or. Banner said a Lalanne. Or. Ryan s statement thai he in tended to squawk Long and loud it Ottawa was awarded the final should the riders win is absolutely Correct but the statement of what i told or. 13 a n 11 e r m a n is absolutely it is possible that or. Kyan figures that the Canadian final should be played each year at Toronto and if this is the Case the matter should be brought up at the annual said the . President. In any Case we met his proposals half Way. If Sarnia defeats Ottawa then the final will be played at Toronto which is the site that or. Ryan our views which to the press in Ive no later gave ambiguous James terms. We stated that we would abide by the ultimate decision of the . Executive naturally we would have to but that should such decision make us play in Ottawa or anywhere but Toronto we would protest loud and Long. Just How this could be interpreted As consenting to playing in Ottawa rangers is mighty hard to figure out. As a matter of fact just How we could consent to a decision that we did t learn about until we were half Way Back to Winnipeg is hard to figure out. We Are not accusing or. Del Lanne of mis informing Bannerman after nil he has enough cast to do what he likes anyway. By would like an explanation from Somcy Ody. We note that in his Brief statement to the press regard ing the Mailer the . Presi Dent said that consent of the Prairie members had been obtained before the arrangements had been made. We await with interest word from professor Mathews As to what induced him to give his consent to the decision in View of the fact that at first he was opposed to forcing the bombers to play in Ottawa. Or possibly or. Dela Lanne can enlighten us further on the matter when we arrive in the East. There is something screw Ball about the whole Deal not that it could have affected the decision we received unexpected support in Eastern quarters. Any Way it looks As though we Plaj in Ottawa and like it. Bombers in shape meanwhile the Weatherman looks kindly on us by continuing to favor with Fine practice conditions if it will Only last for another week the bombers should proceed Inlo the Canadian final in the Best physical condition that any team from thai e parts has Ever been Able to boast. Threlfall is working his men hard under the lights at Osborn stadium. The boys arc show ing the kind of Pepper that marked their workouts prior to the final game at Calgary and if the coach can get them fired up to the same mental Heights they will be awfully hard nuts to crack even by the mighty Ottawa machine.

Reservations can be made by phoning the Pool 35 376, aur old chum and travelling the object of accommodating a Ralph wrote dear every really important National Issue from the Ariff to conscription the rules debate in football is again being a clouded by the irrelevant Ssue of loyalty. When one coach dismisses West Ern football As a Bob tailed Ameri can game and another adds let he americans go Back Home if hey Don t like the Way we run Kings they Are appealing to emotion but certainly not to reason. And yet even granted that this is a sensible Way to conduct a Dis Cussion they Are still working on a false premise. Americans Are not the dominating Force behind rules Reform on the Prairies and the men who control the move ment have no More desire to introduce american football to Canada than they have to replace hockey with a Jai Alai. The East s failure to grasp these two essential facts is Neit half so surprising As the West s failure to give them the proper publicity but whoever is to blame for the misunderstand ing a misunderstanding there is. The fritzes Hanson Karats and Rowes do not carry the legislative Power in Western Foa Bair any More than the Morrisey Palm few distinguished visiting elks i Don t think so but you can t prove it any More than you can prove that Winnipeg attendances have risen from 300 to per game solely because of imports and not partly because of imports and partly because of livelier rules. But it can be proved that West Ern fans and legislators Don t want american football. For three or our years because there was no other opposition available the bombers gave their clients a pro gramme of games against North Dakota North Dakota state con Cordia and other Good Grade b american College teams. The Cus omers yawned just As profoundly and for precisely the same reasons As. Warren Stevens yawned at col Gate. In comparison to their native they found american foot jail hopelessly Dull. The bombers played no United states football this year. Even if the subversive elements in the ranks were to propagandize toward straight american rules for the next 20 years Western Canada fans would never stand for the elimination of such nifty Canadian devices As the compulsory handling of punts five Yards Elbow room for the receiver the Rouge three Downs and the elimination of tedious timeouts. All the glowing tilings that Are being said about . Rules these Days Are perfectly True. They make a magnificent ahead of the straight american game. But that is not the Point. West Ern customers who have seen All by the Way How Many folks on the other Side of the floor have really had a look at Western think their own variety is even better. They May be right and they May be wrong but what s that got to do with High Pine Falls ers hold annual wind up Pine Falls Man., Kov. 30.

Len Shebeski and Ross Waldro gave varsity cagers their secon win of the evening when they contributed 24 Points to Stop Maroon 1-28, Al Crockett and w. Murra ers Hermans and haymans carry the authority to make rules in the East. Rules Are made out Wes the same Way As they sire made smoke filled rooms when groups of Bald men with fat Stom Achs and great persuasive faculties gather once a year and from which any one known to have had a football in his hands As recently As 10 years ago is rigidly excluded. The trend toward interference in the West was fathered by no one but Joe Byan who knew enough to stand when they played the King Long before he heard of such an animal As a blocking Back. It was implemented by people like John Bannerman Eind Larry Price of Calgary piffle Taylor and Al Ritchie of Regina squib Ross and professor Bill Broadfoot of Edmonton and Frank Hannibal and Les Isard of Winnipeg. In the composite they Are just As Bald and fat As any group of Rule makers in the country and if it still affects the argument most of them fought for Canada in the last War. From Here on the whole question of motives is sur rounded with imponderables. Did the Western patriots admitting their patriotism still make their Rule changes with trophy Winner Larry o Connor voted the outstanding athlete in Canada for the past year and thus winning the Norton Crow trophy was this Toronto hurdler who was honoured in this manner by Mem Bers of the Amateur athletic Union at their annual meeting at Hamil ton wednesday.
