Canuck 'Roarin' Game'
Draws American Teams
By STEWART McNEIIX
(United Preaa Sports Writer)
Vancouver, B. C, Mar. 4 (U.PJ
Enthusiastic Americans were
being included in plans for the
21st Dominion curling cham
pionships here next week.
Ten teams, or rinks, represent
ing nine Canadian provinces,
will match skill and wits March
6 to 9 at Kerrisdale arena here
for the coveted MacDonald's
Brier Tankard, emblematic of
curling supremacy in the world.
This is the first time the
Brier has ever been held in
British Columbia and interest
Is running high, not only in
Vancouver, but throughout
the Pacific northwest. Offic
ials of the curling "world
series" said they were pre
paring for an "enthusiastic
delegation" of curling fans
from Tacoma, Wash., coming
for the three-day event.
The Brier, as the sporting ev
ent has come to be known, is
one of the most closely followed
contests in Canada. It ranks
with the Grey Cup final, annual
clash between east and west for
the Canadian football title, and
the Stanley Cup hockey play
offs lor Interest.
Yet, surprisingly enough,
curling or the "Roarln' Game"
is not actually a spectator
sport. Comparable to lawn
bowling, it's a game played
on ice in which granite rocks
are slid along the ice to the
"button" by the four-man
rinks. Each man throws two
rocks during an end, or inn
ing as the baseball fan would
term it. Rocks lying closest
to the "button" In concentric
scoring rings painted under
the ice surface, add up to
produce a winner in a regula
tion 12-end game.
It is just within the post-war
era that promotors have turned
the Brier from a participants'

crowds in excess of 6000, all
cheering like hockey fans.
while curling is comparatively
unknown , in the United States,
it is played by more than 200,
000 Canadians each winter and
ranks second only to bowling
as a popular game.
From its humble Dutch and
Scottish origin 400 years ago,
the game has been perfected
in western Canada and the
present hotbed of the "Roarin'
Game" named from the noise

the ice is Winnipeg, Mani

$900 MacDonald's Brier Tank
ard 12 times.
Alberta captured it four
times and British Columbia
earned it once, thus giving the
west a 17 to 3 lead over the
east. Ontario received the tank
ard twice and Nova Scotia won
the first championship in 1927.
Only Newfoundland is not
represented in the champion
ships, northern Ontario making
the tenth rink in the nine-game
series. 1

Jumpin' Johnny to Show
Hoop Skill in AAU Meet
By JACK HEWINS
Seattle, March 4 () Jump
ing Johnny O'Brien is only as
tall as a small shillelah but
he'll never get lost in the al
titude at Denver.
He's a broth of a lad. He's
the 5 feet 9 inches of basket
ball fury who will lead the
Seattle university freshmen,
nicknamed "P i poi ses" into
the national A.A.U. tourna
ment. There will be giants in the
Denver event and they may
wrap our little Spalpeen up
and stuff him in the referee's
pocket. Sure, and it will take
a bit of doin'.
Alpine Dairy, West Wash
ington champion last year and
quarter-finalist in the nation
als, tried it. And who do you
think was playln' post for the
Papooses against those altitud
inous Alps? Littly Johnny O'
Brien, begorrah, smallest man
on the floor. He'd hide under
the basket and then he'd scoot
beneath the arms of a defend
ing giant to take the ball and
explode for a basket.
He scored 24 points and the
Papooses whopped the Alps,
48 to 45. He was a backboard
terror and if you can't believe
it, listen: The O'Brien can
stand flat footed under the
basket, jump and catch the
rim.
The kid collected 512 points

Throwing Darts at a tubelcss tire isn't a scientific mcthou
of testing the tire's puncture-sealing properties, but it does
make an interesting picture. Movie starlet Lucille Barkley
seems to be surprised she hit the bulls-eye. Tubeless tires,
introduced here recently by The B. F. Goodrich company,
perform without the aid of an inner tube and can be punc
tured by nails or spikes without losing any air. They
are said to retain air ten times longer than a conventional
tire and lube.
Girdle Suggested for Tractor
Riding Man Down on the Farm
By HARM AN W. NICHOLS
(United Praia Staff Correspondent)
Washington, March 4 VP) A
aching backs on the farm has
in overalls put on a gircue'
Dr. L. T. Fruin, who patches
isn't physically able to keepv
pace with the speedy vehicles
science has provided for him.
He said as much the other day
in a speech before the farmers
adult education class in Normal.
Dr. Fruin started out with a
lot of professional double-talk
about "those of us who see far
mers rather frequently in a pro
fessional capacity are struck
with the multiplicity of com
plaints and definite lesions
which we have felt were trace
able directly to the violent shak
ing up that a farmer gets rid
ing high speed tractors over
rough ground."
Later he got down to earth, or
almost.
The tractor and other mech
anized farm implements, the
doctor finds, give a man a heck
of a going-over because of the
"thudding, iarring action im
parted to them by the seats of
their tractors in fast activity
over irregular ground.
The Normal, 111., physician
said he was aware that among
truck drivers, motorcyclists, av
iators and racing automobile
drivers, some rather "amateur
ish and feeble" remedies have
been tried. Like costly shocK
absorbent seats.
"These," he said, "alter the
timing and rhythm, but don't
absorb the shocks. What's
wrong with an old-fashioned
girdle not a two-way stretch
thing, but one that a man could
lace up and tuck himself into?
The doctor asked if we all
hadn't heard about cases classi
fied as 'visceroptosis?" Thai's
a term indicating a dropping of
the abdominal organs. This,
said he, is particularly true with
reference to the kidneys.
Dr. Fruin concluded that
things like the kidneys and liv
er often are jarred from their
moorings inside us by "con
stant jarring, and jolting upon
the stomach and intestines."
"All of us occasionally see,
and there have been multiple
reports of collapse of the inter
vertebral cartilaginous discs
with resulting pressure on nerve
roots and extreme disability,

man who has treated a lot of
come up with advice for the man
up backs and busted collar bones
and often-times subsequent ma
jor surgery," Dr. Fruin said.
The doctor said that he ad
vised his audience in Normal,
111., that the most sensible thing
would be to slow down progress
To put the brake on those high
powered machines that plow the
corn faster than a couple of
horses could and bump the hay
wagon over the clods behind
tractor.
But the doctors have given
up trying to get the man In
blue jeans to slow down.
"So," said Dr. Fruin, ". .
we must reach into our arma
mentarium of surgical applian
ces and come up with a sup
porting type elastic, snug, well-
fitting abdominal girdle for these
men to use as a protection
against at least some hazards of
their occupation." ' ,
Dr. Fruin, let it be said, is i
inventor. He's a doctor with
fine record in the navy and 15
years in medicine and surgery
mere seems to be an open
door now for some cagey inven
tor who knows something about

Strong Pressure to Block
Visit of 'Partisans of Peace'
Washington, March 4 VP) The state department came under
strong pressure from Capitol Hill today to block a projected
American visit by a delegation from the World Congress of
Paritsans of Peace.
Two top administration leaders in the senate, as well as a
leading GOP senator, called the
congress a communist front or
ganization in floor speeches
yesterday. They urged the state
department to deny the dele
gates entry visas.
Senate Democratic Leader
Lucas of Illinois was joined in
the attack by Chairman Connal
ly (D-Tex) of the foreign rela
tions committee, and by Sena
tor Wherry (R-Neb), the GOP
floor leader.
The 16 delegates, now in Par
is awaiting permission to enter
the United States, include fam

Canterbury, the Rev. Hewlett
Johnson; British film producer
Ivor Montagu; Belgian atomic
scientist Max Cosyns and Eu

professor.
Two Russians, biologist Alex
ander L. Oparin, and film direc
tor Sergei A. Gerasimov, also
are members of the group, along
with two Italian senators
Italian mayor, a Cuban labor
leader, and several lawyers and
professors from other countries
Wherry said the delegation
wants to visit this country to
petition congress to ban atomic
armaments.
'The United States would not
want to open its gates to the
bubonic plague," he said, "and

In New York, O. John Rogge
