figures.
However, the name attached
to this particular $1,000 a; day
was none of these, or even Doris
Duke, or Barbara Hutton, Zaharoff or* the Exchequer. It was
simply Katherine, and she was
the daughter of Anthony Drexel.
Katherine was 17 when her

and that is how she had the use

Whatever did she spend a.ll
that on? Imported orchestras
from the Congo? No. $100,000

No. Jewellery? No.
Katherine spent $23 million
on the Indians and Negroes of
the United States. When she
was still a young girl she had
seen the condition of these peo­
ple and felt that something
should be done. She said so, to
a very wise ruler called Leo,
and he replied: “Why don’t you
do something?” That was the
beginning. Until the day she
died, Katherine spent her inher­

JHAT big hunk o’ red-blooded Canadian
Nisei to the left of us is Kenji (Kenny)
Togawa, who won third prize in last week’s
Mr. Ontario Contest held at the Toronto’^
YMHA gym. 23-year-old Kenny is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. Togawa, and has two
brothel's, one older and one younger. Kid
brother-Joe is a. defenseman with Nisei
Flyers hockey club.
Kenny wasn’t too sure what he was get­
ting into when he gave up judo (after
reaching brown belt) four years ago to take
up body-building at Mack Miyashi’ta Gym.
Employed regularly as a.! shipper since
quitting school (Central Tech), Kenny
works out three nights weekly at Mack’s.
He carries 155 pounds on a 5’3” frame,
and boasts a 46” chest, expanded. Kenny’s
waist is a mere 29%”.
He first entered -competition last year
in the Mr. Eastern Canada Contest at Pal­
ace Pier, winning best arm and best back
prizes. Since then he has competed in the
nation-wide Mr. Canada Contest at Mon­
treal (in which he was named third most
muscular), the Mr. Central Canada Contest
at Massey Hall (again the third most mus­
cular), and last week the Mr. Ontario test
in which he received a trophy for the best
back.
Pictures of Togawa have appeared in two British magazines,
Body Building and Health and Strength. While we have yet to
see this, Kenny says its a cinch to lift a 100-pound sack of rice
with one hand. He will compete next in the Mr. Toronto contest.
Ken is taking the place of Nibby Fujimoto, who after winning
second prizes in several contests, .quit training when he got married.
BASEBALL: With mild weather continuing. Honest Ed’s Niseis
will hold an opening practice next week, if possible . . . one-time
Western Joe Koyanagi, has joined Maw Mori on Sub Miike’s coach­
ing staff . . . Joe is a member of the Western City Loop’s board
of directors . . . Bill Aoki is trying to revive the Best Cleaners nine
to enter a local playground league ... shouldn’t be too hard, since
most of the Nisei members played together under Bill last year in
the Nisei Sunday loop . . . With Honest Ed’s picking up some of
the better players, Sunday Ball officials will have to look alive to
avoid another break-up of the league.

Short-Handed Flyers

Despite
only seven
players on the ice. Nisei Flyers
made a considerably improved
showing against powerful O. H.
Evans, losing 9-8 last Tuesday at
East York. The Evans six had
previously smashed the Nisei
squad 11-1.
Mas Nakao had only Jim McIlwaane, Roy Kobayashi, Jim
Molnar, George Anzai, Ken Edamura, Roy Tanaka and goalie
Rai Adachi to juggle around.
Anzai was the Idne regular de­
fenseman.
Red Mcllwaine bulged the
twine five times, while Molnar
counted twice and Captain Koba­
yashi once, as Flyers bowed for
the second time against two
wins in their section of King
Clancy Intermediate playoffs.
Flyers had two more games
carded this week: Thursday, vs.
Modern Motors at Varsity; Fridav, vs. Ruscoe at Leaside.

KEG NEWS ACROSS CANADA
LAKEHEAD PLAYOFFS
FORT WILLIAM. — Things
were “high and mighty” last
Sunday at the 4-game sudden
death playoffs of the Nisei Bowl­

and all matches were hard-fought

having been behind by 270 at the
end of the third game. With a
total pinfall of 4135, Screwballs
were declared winners of the F.K.
Nishikawa Trophy fox- 1954-55

runners-up at 4127. The 2 top
teams of the season couldn’t do
a darn’ thing: Slap Happies 3961
and Dead Shots 3517.
K-Jets, cellar inhabitants for
almost the entire season, sudden­

solation honors. From beginning
to end, they were far ahead of
the others, finishing with an im­
pressive 4302. Trailing were HiLighters 3928, Busy Bees 3844
and Roll-A-Heads 3675.
Sid Nishimura of K-Jets led
the men for the day with a fourgame 928(308): Bo Tonkin, Glid­
ers, 860(295), Kermv Nishimura,
