Can you imapine what Apostoli would do in like case? Yeah, you guessed it, probably kick him in the teeth and grind a heel or two on his kisser. -_- - Ab chivalry! Ah sportsman- ship! Aaaaah nuts. ... Anyway, my contention is that a schoolboy could wan a fight in Nyawk Nyawk under the no-foul ruling.

Club Membership Is Too Large For Quarters

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- ports. Socials, featuring whist and dancing, are held monthly.

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; Subs, S. Smith, Pelletier, Beatty and Dave 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.

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.

Spoil Record Of e Smoke-=eaters Sunday, Jan. 16th 9:45 A.M.

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.
