CRUICKSHANK Edmonton’s Percy Page has writ- ten basketball history with those three words in the last quarter cen- tury. What’s his success formula? is the departure for Europe of the Edmonton Commercial Grads. Thousands of fans throng the station as the dainty, diminutive world’s champion basketballers make ready to board the train. Cheers pour from throats not yet comfortable after similar prolonged outbursts a short time ago when, battling with every ounce of skill they possessed, the Grads smashed through to their 417th win in 431 official games played in defense of their many championship titles. A flash back to the Edmonton Arena: May 30. A hot night—atmospherically and dynamically hot! The Grads are facing what threatens to be a second straight defeat in their series against the stellar Eldorado Lion-Oilers for the International title and the Underwood trophy, which the Grads have won and held for thirteen years. Fans are reaching for the smelling salts. There is but a scant mament af _nlaxtine tima loft and tha Crnda nen Anum vis the 8s ALBERTA, in en“féte! The occasion 21 two points. The Lions took the first game by a score of 44-40, a feat which set the tongues of even loyal Grads’ supporters wagging. “They’re slipping! The great Page-machine is about to 2? . crumble! . Such were some of the hoarse whispers heard in the stands on that memorable night. But as the timekeeper began to take in first pressure on the trigger, something happened—a miraculous something, character- istic of the Grads in a crisis. A spark fused, streaking like a directed meteorite from some concealed force, to detonate in the form of Miss Noel MacDonald, the world’s greatest centre ace. Miss MacDonald has snatched a pass out of thin air. With two rangy Eldorado checks flashing down on her, the Edmonton star coils weaves, ducks, all in the one motion. She flys down on the enemy basket and shoots on the fly. A breathless pause! To a thunderclap of cheers Noel scores. She has knotted the count at 35-35. Again this marvellous centre wizard snags a pass. She evades a check, fakes a pass, then whirls down the floor. But she realizes that there is no more time left. Eldorado girls swarm down on her but suddenly she wheels in an amazing double pivot. Her slender arms stretch. Her wrists snap!.. . A pin could be heard to drop as thousands of eyes follow the trajectory of the ball. It zooms, then sinks. . . The crack of the timekeeper’s gun is smothered beneath a terrific cataract of sound as excited fans pour down from their seats. Noel has won the most spectacularly dramatic game the Grads ever engaged in. But what of Noel? _ At centre floor she reels dizzily and crumples to the boards.

Photographs by Alf Blythe, Edmonton GENERAL ELECTRIC FOR GREATER VOLUM success? lt gives us a gimpse of that elusive something—the force behind the outer calm which for over twenty-one years, has inspired hundreds of Page’s players to championship calibre in the face of increasingly heavy odds. Fach year as players come and go, the Grads have become smaller in stature while, on the other hand, their opponents have become taller and heavier and more proficient. But the Page machine whirs fiendishly on to victory after victory. Mr. Page did not retire as announced. When he will definitely retire is not yet known, but he has at his right hand a carefully selected successor coach, in the person of Mr. Arnold Henderson, an in- structor at McDougall school and one of CHATELAINE, SEPTEMBER, 1936 the best-known; basketball luminaries in Canada. Arnold has been working with Mr. Page throughout the 1936 playing season, during which time the Grads met and defeated three of the most brilliant American teams ever to invade Canada— Des Moines; Tulsa Stenographers and the Eldorado Lions. The great Page will never desert his club, even though he retires from active coachship. He will stand by to manage the Grads’ organization. That master mind and its inspiring influence will be ever with the Grads; and the wizardly machine will continue to roll on—Edmonton’s gift to Canada; Canada’s gift to the world— the greatest athletic organization in the history of competitive sports.

Order by number from CHATELAINE SERVICE BULLETINS | 481 University Avenue, Toronto Will the Church Say—Fight? (Continued from page | 1) opposition. The position is surely a simple one. War and Christianity cannot be reconciled. “T am trying more earnestly than ever to take my stand on the side of Jesus when he said ‘Love your enemies.’ In this frame of mind lies the only hope of the world. The Great War brought us only pain and sorrow. It solved no problems but rather increased them. War is a senseless, brutal practice and I am against it. “Now is the time to talk and work for Peace. Once war has been declared the peoples of the nations concerned are placed in difficult positions. In the last few months we have seen the issue being clouded again by war propaganda and people have begun to waver. as the result of a war atmos- phere—merely a repetition of what took place following the commencement of the Great War. “There is only one thing to do, namely, to take our stand against this barbaric practice and to maintain that stand what- ever it costs.” "Moral Inertia Allows War to Remain" “ALL CHURCHES condemn war in the abstract,” says Rev. Andrew Osborn, minister at First Presbyterian Church, Edmonton, and well-known writer. “The real moral decision comes with a concrete situation, such as that faced by the Roman Catholic Church recently in Italy. It did not say—Fight! But the State did—and the Church acquiesced. “There are five possible attitudes for churches to take in the event of another war: ul. Approval and support. “2. Acquiescence without clear ae judgment. “3. Acquiescence despite Sidenention, “4. Condemnation, but, as an act of mercy, providing spiritual help. “5, Outlawry to the extent of refusing the rites of the various churches to the participants. “A war of aggression would always be unequivocally condemned by Canadian churches. Probably, however, they would take the fourth attitude rather than the fifth. A war of defense of country or one in clear support of right presents a choice of evils and final judgment must necessar- ily be made in the face of an actual situa- tion. “There is such a thing as radical evil which must be fought. The weapons of our Lord and His disciples were spiritual, and spiritual weapons are still the only ones for the Church. A State, however. ‘bears the sword’ to maintain order within itself and the sword may be the only wea- pon it can use to combat attack from with- out or to maintain the right. “War is evil; but there are other evils which are greater, such as anarchy, or the unrestrained domination of cruel greed. “The immediate task of the churches is to enlighten the public conscience especi- ally in regard to the principle of justice. Much of the present chaos in Europe is due to the perpetuation of injustice. Moral inertia allows wrong to remain and so prepares the way for conflict of all descrip- tions, which, in the case of nations, inevi- tably means war.” (Next month such distinguished church leaders as Rev. Capt. N. M. Plummer, of Calgary, Rev. W. Gordon MacLean, of Winnipeg, Rev. W. F. Kelloway, of Cal- gary, Rev. Beverley Ketchen, of Hamilton, and others will give their ideas on this challenging question.)
