The Joy producers were the rapid improvement in Bud mar Quardt s shoulder and the equally rapid improvement in Wayne Sheley s injured foot. For the first time since he was Hurt in the Cal Gary game Sheley went through the full practise and came off the Field feeling fit. Bud Marquardt was also in action and was snagging passes in his usual efficient style it looks As though Wayne will be ready for the big and what a help that will be. The coach in t yet certain that he can take a Chance on Marquardt but he Aims to find out in a hard scrim Mage either Friday night or on saturday afternoon. If Bud can Vid the heavy going he will be named to play in the. Canadian final. Marquardt himself is certain that he will take the Field at Ottawa or Toronto for his fourth Start in a Grey cup tussle. The gloom came when Cliff Rose Borough was sent Home with symptoms of appendicitis. It thursday s Drill was again mostly devoted to passing drills and defence against the Type of that May be expected from the rough ricers. Having thoroughly digested the copious notes taken front the scouts at the Ottawa Argo game Threlfall spent consider Able time outlining his plan of defence against the powerful Roughrider running game. He also devoted considerable time explaining the enemy s defensive tactics As used against Argos analysing its Strong and its Points and perfecting the bomber strategy to take the Best advantage of same. Five More Days of this kind of Balmy weather and the coach figures to be All set for the Best the East has to offer in football suits. There seems to be quite a lot of theorising on the rules ques Tion in the East these Days. Practically every coach of any major twelve Down that Way has expressed an opinion. The Western mentors we presume Are so Well known that nobody is much interested in hearing them. The same can be said for this observer s so Well refrain from re airing them. The interesting part of the whole thing from our Angle is that there is such discussion. When we journey Down to the annual rules meeting we Are Given to understand that the code As written is so nearly perfect arid that every one East satisfied with it that the idea of tampering therewith is not Only nonsensical but somewhat Saeri Gigeous. We will be pardoned if we ask if this is so Why it is nearly All Eastern coaches agree that changes Are advisable even if they All do. Not agree As to the kind or extent of the revisions. The fact that some of the views expressed recently by certain coaches Are not consistent with previous theories expounded by the same Gentry is probably immaterial. We might add certain opinions advanced such As those of Doug Kerr in re injuries caused by permitting extended blocking by half backs cannot be substantiated either by the experience of Western clubs or by statistics prepared annually by the american inter collegiate football association. These lat Ter statistics which classify every injury incurred in col lege High school and even Sand lot football show that in juries resulting from blocking Are almost negligible compared to for example injuries incurred in tackling yet even or. Kerr will not advocate a Rule eliminating tackling from the game. A nother matter that puzzles us no Little Way is Why the Extension of interference to satisfy the West should worry those who do not like extended interference. After All if the lateral passing Extension end run is As Fine a de vice for advancing the Ball consistently As its proponents would have us believe widening the interference zone will do nothing to restrict its use by the True believe in other words let us have rules that will accommodate both schools of thought. Maybe in time it would be proven just who has the right ideas. The present code is a bit one sided. By Clem Shields a Star which will not be dimmed for Many years arose in. All its glory t the Sherbrook Street Pool thurs Day 16-year-old mar Aret Taggart flashed through the water to equal the Canadian 100 Yards Junior record and automatic ally establish a new Manitoba Mark. Her time was 1.04 4-5, beating her own Mark by four fifths of a second. Although the major share of the spotlight fell upon the Auburn haired Margaret i generous amount also came the Way of pretty Kay Gordon who with seemingly con Sumate ease shattered the 220 Yards Manitoba championship clipping one fifth of a second off her own Mark. The 100 Yards Junior race and the 220 Yards event were the Only two provincial title races on the card and the Way in which new records were chalked up indicates in no Uncertain manner the remarkable strides being made in local aquatic sports. In equalling the Canadian record in the Junior race for girls under 17 years of age Margaret Taggart a member of the y.w.c.a.a.c., forcibly impressed with her smooth stroking and her increased proficiency in making the turns. She led All the Way and wound up at the finish line about four Yards ahead of the Pat Jackson who was closely followed by Ella Mcgregor. The Winnipeg girl s time equals the Canadian Mark set by Margaret Stone of Toronto. Catherine Gordon got Oft on even footing with the speedy Ethel Gil Bert and Kae Whitehead. For about one length the three swam pretty Well neck and neck after which Kay assumed the Lead which she never lost. Pressed at one stage by Gilbert Gordon put on steam and it was probably the keen Competition she received which enabled her to set a new Manitoba record of 2.40 1-5. Ethel Gilbert filled second place and Kae Whitehead was third. One of the features of the pro gramme was the return to the swimming fold of Albert Ford for Many years Manitoba s Star at All distances.
