Canadians Against Race
Barring in Public
Places of Amusement

Huge MaJOrI1eS oppose Barriers OF Race OF
Color in Dance Halls
(From The Winnipeg Tribune)
TORONT0-Anyone looking for signs of racial blgotry
discrimination among Canadians would not get much evil
dence results of survey just completed across the
Dominion by the Gallup Poll This survey, which put the
the basis of racial discrimination in public places OF
entertainment found the sweeping maortes in all sections
of the population supporting the idea that such places sho
be open to all races.
Specifically the issue put to the public in two forms
each of which asked of separate but accurate sample
of the population: 49, $1,000, ,,,, mr.,
RUN A PLACE OF ENTERTAINMENT, LIKE
DANCE HALL OR A SKATING RINK; SHOULD HE
HAVE THE RIGHT TO KEEP OUT CERTAIN RACES,
SAY NEGROES OR SHOULD HE BE COMPELLED
TO ADMIT EVERYONE, AS LONG AS THEY BE-
HAVED THEMSELVES"
The same question asked of another sample but cit
ing the Jewish race an example.
The results decisive To the Canadian public the
issuing of license such places does not carry with 1t the
right to exclude anyone grounds of race or color
To the first question: Canadian opinion says:
Have right to keep out1910
Admit everyone --------~--.---------'
Undecided -----------..--- A
To the second question: the even more en-
Have right to keep Out.------.-..-..--..-.1290
Admit everyone -
Undecided ----...-..--.--. ---.-..---..------- - .
The fact that in both the percentage of undecdeds
was considerably lower than most issues indicates that
this is question in which very definite views are held
Nor the basis of this survey anyone say that one
province to any marked degree racay antagonlsc
than another In the poll found maJorteS
from &c percent to as high percent who felt that such
places of entertainment should not be discriminatory.
In city of Canada the issue brought to the front
when coOred boy asked to leave public skating rink
after he had bought ticket In taking such action the pro-
pretors obviously running contrary to public opinion
the protest the time indicated and the current Gallup
Poll confirms.

RHODE ISLANDS RAMS SURPRISE OF HOOP MEET
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer

New York, March 19-(UP)- Kentucky's Wildcats, the only team in the National Invitational Basket ball Tournament that performs ac- cording to form, was in the final round today because it's last ounce of strength proved to be @ full gallon.
 Kentucky, driving with the bril- liance that earned it the top seeding in the brackets, turned on the heat in the last minute and half and scored eight points to earn, a 59 to 51 victory over West Virginia.
 The other finalists, the Rhode Is- land Rams, advanced by 59 to 49 upset victory over the Muhlenberg Mules of Allentown, Pa, in the opener of the semi-final doublehea- der before 18,471 fans at Madison Square Garden last night.
 The Wildcats naturally will rate 8 substantial edge over the Rhodes when the teams meet in the cham pionship game tomorrow night, but that shouldn't bother the New Eng flanders. Form has been all but out the window in the tournament with four upsetS in the six games thus far and only Kentucky winning when expected.
 Game Even
 That last ditch rally of the min ute and a half" men from Lex ington turned nerve-tingling game into a rout. Until the Wildcats steamed up it had been anyone's contest and the closeneSs was re- flected in the fact that the score was tied IA times.
 Blunt Jack Tingle, moving with stealth and speed, sparked that drive with six points on three quick bas- kets which gave him high point honors with 16 point total.
 Kentucky might have made it with less trouble but for a streak of roughnesS which caused three regu- lars, Tingle, Wilbur Schu and Wal lace Jones 60 sit it out with four fouls apiece through most of the second half.
 Little Ralph Jones carried the burden while they were gone, ring ing up 15 points and doing mas terful job of ball handling.
 Forward Howie Beverly, who was in bed with a touch of influenza until two hours before game time, led the Mountaineers with II points. Leland Byrd and Dave Wilson made 10 each and Tom Laverte, also a flu victim made nine. Meanwhile, Rhode Islands re- markable Rams were black sheep among folks who think basketball team ought to perform according to expectations.
 The. tournaments smallest team from the nations tiniest state, star ted out as 20 to long shot to win the championship, but worked its way into the finals by doing nothing according to the script.
 Rhode Island still capitalized on i it's chief stock in trade, wild one handed long shots by Ernie Calverly, Dick Hole and Bob Shea. That had to be seen to be believed. Calverly SwiShed in II field goals and five free throws for 2 points, while Hole got five and four for IA. Shea, a long-shooting guard, made 10 points on three field shots and four foul- line losses.

Wooderson Wants H0egg Mark Killed

London, March 19-(UP)-Syd- ney Wooderson, protesting that Gunder Hagg'S world mile record of 4:Ol.4 was established against professionals, said today he will ask the International Amateur Athletic Federation to recognize his 4:O4.2 mile at Gothenburg, Sweden, last September.
 Britain'e slim running ace said he planned to make his request when the Federation meets at Oslo next August.
 WooderSon conteI1ded that Hagg's record should not be allowed to stand, as recommended by the Swedish Athletic Association which yesterday barred Hagg, Arne An- derson and seven others from anna telr competition.
 British delegates to the Fedora tion meeting also will oppose 8 Swedish suggestion that amateur rules be eased.
 T see no reason for altering laws of anateurism and professionalism just because of this case" said Jack Crln1p, team manager for tue British Amateur Athletic Associa- ton.

Armstrong New Hub Ring Hero

Boston, March 19.-CUP)-Jack (Spioer) Armstrong of Toronto today has disproved the adage that youth must be served by halting Jackie Harris of Maiden who claims he's New England's second best featherweight.
 A veteran of better than dozen years in the ring, Armstrong thrilled a crowd of 1O,817 fans at Boston Garden last night by beat ing Harris so sorely that Referee Johnny Martin was forced to halt the bout in 58 second of the 4th round.
 At the time Harris eyes were bleeding profusely from cuts on both eyes. Yet the ex-veteran of the China Burma India theater of fighting still wanted to continue.
 From the outset it was Arm strong's fight. He circled the ring as the echoes of the first bell were dying-stabbing away at Harris face with snaky left. Occasion ally Harris sought to rush in close but received a barrage of right hand Smashes in his face for his pains.
 The remainder of the rounds were similar except that Harris bled from his cuts. Both fighters weighed in at 128 IA pounds for the bout that drew a gross gate of $30,743 for a net of $23,834. Two weeks ago Armstrong beat New England featherweight champion Timothy (Buddy) Hayes in ten rounds.

 Outfelder - Walt (Hoot) Evers, 9, Collinsville, Idd. Graceful and posseSsor of a fine arm, this six foot, two inch 185-pounder made eyes shine in the Detroit camp and it was heavy blow when he broke his ankle in faulty slide at second base in an exhibition game Sun day. Exceptionally good eye for a good pitch or bad and before army service was second only to Dick Wakefield in Texas league hitting in 1942. If his ankle mends proper ly, he'll still make it this year.

Bentley, Larson
 Best Ice Hockey Scorers of 1945

Montreal, Que, March 18-(UP) Max Bentley, 155-pound center of the Chicago Black Hawks, won the 1945-46 National Hockey League scoring championship with 31 goals and 30 assists for 61 points as Gaye Stewart of Toronto finished second, nine points back, final league sta- tistics showed tonight.
 Bentley, returned to the ice after a two-year wartime lapse, won go- ing away as he added six points during the Hawks final four games after being sidelined for more than week with an injured knee. He missed three games.
 Except for the two leaders, the final week saw major shakeup in the standings. Hector (Toe) Blacke of the champion Montreal Canadiens rallied with six points to finish in a third-place tie with Clint Smith of Chicago at 50 points.
 Speedster Bill Mosienko, who plays with the Bentleys on the Black Hawks No. l line, was tied with Stewart for second place a week ago but he slumped to fifth place deadlock in the final stand ings with Maurice Richard of the Canadiens at 48 points.
 New Haven, Conn, March 19- | (UP)-Norm Larson of Hershey reigned today as individual scoring king in the American Hockey Lea que and 53 of his winning 89 point total attested to the old hockey ad- age that assists make scoring champions.
 Finishing the season with spurt Larson counted three goals against Buffalo Sunday night to nose out Les Douglas of Indianapolis wf1t had led most of the season. Doug las finished with 87 points, A o. which were goals.
 Tom Burlington of Cleveland wa! third with 82, and Pete LeSwick o. Indianapolis was fourth with 8l markers.
 The race was slightly slower thar year ago when Robert Oracle oi Pittsburgh won with 95 points ano Burlington was second with 90.
 Chuck Scherza of Providence rested 81 minutes in the penalty box to take "misbehavin' honors' and Jack Shewchuk of Hershey waS second in the bad boy" totals witf l 79 minutes.
