like case? Yeah, you guessed it,
probably kick him in the teeth and
grind a heel or two on his kisser.

contention is that a schoolboy could

Club Membership Is

So successful is Victoria Road
Recreation club under the tutor-
ship of Bill Richardson that its
membership is now becoming too
large for present quarters at 33th

The club, which meets Tues-
day nights, devotes twe hours to
gymnastics under Scotty Jack-
son, while the balance of the
time is given up te dancing.

Of a total membership of 170,
seventy are girls, the club re-

Ford, Hogan Stage
Exhibition

Bulging in the middle and fairly
splitting at the seams, the Van-
couver Sports Centre at 143 Hast
Cordova, last Saturday, creaked
and groaned in protest from the
combined weight of several hun-
dred enthusiastic fans who crowd-
ed the very aisles, making this
the most successful’ show in the
club’s history.

Al Ford, colored lad who is
mighty popular in Vancouver, and
Sailor (Kid) Hogan who is tour-
ing the country and hails from
Australia, put on a bang-up three-
round entertainment with an ex-
hibition of give and take that had
the crowd on its feet most of the
time.

Guy Gantrell and Jimmie Du-
mont fought three two-minute
rounds to a very good draw.

In the wrestling (called “sap
trade” by some writers but doesn’t
apply here where all matches are
on the level), Mike Paul, 190, lost
to Jim Frisch, 185. Frisch got the
lone fall in the third frame, put-
ting Paul’s shoulder out in doing
so. Bud De Silva laid low the ever
ready Fritz Schmidt in the third
round and Toughy Thomas got to
the Wild Joker for a win. Scotty
Jackson broke his losing streak
by convincingly defeating Bill
Massen two out of three falls in
five 5-minute rounds on the main
event.

Bunka Opens
Wrestling School.

George Bunka, amateur rassling
champ of Saskatchewan, Alberta
and all points south, has opened a
wrestling school (no charge) at the
VSG, 143 East Cordova, which meets
every night from 8:30 to 10 pm.
Starting just a week ago, George’s
idea has grown to a roster of eight
would-be groaners and is expected
to expand satisfactorily. Any young
fellow or old fellow wishing to put
a few more pounds of beef onto the
frame and at the same time learn
the manly art of amateur wrestling
is requested to contact George at
the above address between 8:30 and

10 any night except Saturday.

Workers’ Alliance
Hopes To Make
Clean Sweep

Expecting to have a gala second
half in the first division of the
minor soccer league, the Workers
Alliance soccer team from Col-
lingwood has been faithfully prac-
tising through snow, sleet and
rain during the between halves
layoff. Coach Cressy predicts a
clean sweep for his boys and asks
that the following members of
the team report at 1:36 pm at
Killarney Park for an exhibition
game with the Marpole Liberals.
Players to report are: J. McGou-
gan, Jensen, Paulsen, Brown,
Nichols, Matthews, Billingham,
WNorthard, L. Smith and D. Smith;

Youth Club
Is Popular

Membership Shows
Rapid Gain

Doing much to aid the youth of
the district in the building of
sound, healthy bodies and minds
is the Mount Pleasant Progressive
Youth club which, since it opened
its quarters at 49 East Fifth Ave.
two months ago with six members
has succeeded in bringing its
membership up to 35. Half of these
members are girls, club officers
state.

While much gymnastic equip-
ment is still lacking, members are
confident that it won’t be long
before they have one of the best-
equipped clubs in the city.

The girls dancing class under a
competent instructor has proven
a big attraction. A gymnastic class
is held for boys, with group games
a popular feature.

Beech’s Trundlers Top
Major Loop

Sid Beech’s trundle team this
week topped B division to hang up
a record for their branch with a
score of 2912, which is some ten-
pinning. This score topped that of
the supposedly more experienced
A division men who hugged the
cellar with 2902. Judging from
groans and squawks, A men had
a bad night with many stellar per-
formers chalking up splits and
errors.

Maple Leafs ran truer to form
with 2791, Wally Sayers leading
the way with the only 600 count
in his particular section. Mike

Prinster and Ray Chapman bowled
608 and 601 respectively.

Congress

Endorsed
Athletics

Trades Councils
Urged To Assist
Labor Sports

Recognizing the need for encour-
aging sports in the trade unions,
the Fifty-third Trades and Labor
Gongress of Canada endorsed a
resolution brought in by the In-
ternational Ladies’ Garment Work-
ers’ Union, gist of which reads:

“Whereas, a large number of
young workers are employed in in-
dustry, both organized and unor-
ganized, and it is important that
these young workers be won over
to the trades union movement; and
whereas, more employers are estab-
lishing sports organizations among
them in order to distract them
from the trade union movement and
provide them with costly facilities
for same, which otherwise they
could not afford to enjoy; and
whereas, several trade unions are
experienced in the promotion of
sports among its members; there-
fore be it resolved, that this Trades
and Labor Congress go on record
as encouraging the further devel-
opment of such sports and recre-
ational activity by local unions and
trades councils.”

The resolution has been passed
and it remains for Trades and La-
bor Councils throughout Canada
to make a “must” job out of it—
to build a mass progressive sport
movement which will work in co-
operation with our Athletic Union
of Ganada and strive to build
healthy bodies and minds, to take
control of sports from the hands
of a few and make it something
more than just a commercial
enterprise.

Kiwanis Lose To
Monarchs

In a game that was much better
than the score indicates Jock
Henderson’s Moberley Monarchs
cleaned up the somewhat bewild-
ered and poorly coached Kiwanis
last Saturday at Robson Park, to
the tune of 12 to 1. :

The losers played brilliant indi-
vidual bootfall, but lack of team
work failed to make an impres-
sion on the stonewall Moberley de-
fense.

Qld Lady Fate, the fickle jade,

handed a sour lemon to Trail
Smoke-eaters, leaders in the West
Kootenay hockey league when the
touring Coleman Canadians pushed
in a brace of tallies last Monday
to take the session, 2-1.

The irony of it all is that Trail
previous to the game had a record
of eight wins and no losses, while
the Ganadians had been beaten
every time out.

To make matters worse, the
Smoke-eaters lost out two nights
later to the Kimberley Dynamiters,
last year’s world champions, whom
they have kept at bay this year.

These losses give the lead to the
Lethbridge Maple Leafs, a team
that is more lucky than good.
