big news of the Eastern Canada
Brown Belt championships last
Saturday, Nov. 30, at the Toronto

Rossner of the Club Harmonie
were runners-up in the brown belt

entries altogether in the meet.
Champions in both categories

orange belt class, eliminated by
the eventual runner-up Rossner.
The orange belt class was made
up of fourth kyu and under, while
brown belt entrants were the top
three kyus.
About 600 enthusiasts watched
the meet, often rocking the hall
with their cheering. They saw
what black belt observers con­
sidered many examples of sound
judo—it is satisfying that all
finalists this year were average-,
sized men, rather than some of
the giants that dominated in pre­
vious years.
Club Harmonie, the group that
created the sensation in the tour­
ney, is a German Canadian dojo,
and its members showed a stout
combination of European-trained
judo styles and tournament ex­
perience. Brown belt finalist
Gorres, in particular, fights in
the style that judo purists prefer
—using speed
and lightness
rather than brawn. The champion
Bob Fagan of the Hatashita club
fights remarkably like his black
belt champion brother, being rela­
tively small and fast with, impres­
sive waza.
The well-received intermission
feature was a demonstration by
S. A. Kamino, fourth-dan and
Harry Henning, one-dan, of self­
defense techniques and the rarely
seen Go-no-Kata, the classic
forms that embody judo prin­
ciples. Mr. Kamino, who is in his
seventies, is a classic judo man
in posture as well as technique,
and impressed strongly, as did
Henning, a six-footer and one of
many Kamino pupils who have
reached black belt standing.
The tournament was sponsored
by Toronto Kidokan club—and
was completed in the record time
of less than 3% hours. Until the
semifinals,- the individual bouts
were fought two at a time on
mats side by side.

Yamadas were shellacked 102.68 by Andy’s AC last Saturday
in the Metropolitan Toronto
Senior Men’s Basketball League
at Gordon Graydon Secondary
School.
Dick Shatto made his debut for
Yamadas as he joined his Argo
teammate Gerry Doucette to help
the Studio team along. Doucette
and Jim Pettiford jointly led Ya­
madas, each getting 18 points,
while Dick Shatto who had a time
getting untracked in the first half
without the use of three downs,
came on strong in the second half
to get 11 and make it 14 for the
game. Roy and Herb Miyasaki
each got five.
In the foulshooting, Yamadas
got 18 out of 31 tries while
Andy’s collected 26 of 33 tries.
Both Jim Pettiford and Herb Mi­
yasaki bowed out in the late
silages of the game on five fouls.
Tire timer also seemed to have
gotten fouled up letting the game
run some two hours.
Shatto will not be making a
reappearance for a couple of
weeks as he travels to Montreal
for the All-Star football game.
