HILL SPORTS COLUMN St It was a dark sort of morning the way Boston eta fog in from the sea on March days But it didnt seen could be time to op at be this dark tbe knock sounded on my hotelroom door Drowsily arising and brushing sleep out of my eyes I opened up There stood Howie fully dressed I said Howie dont you think its a little early to be bed about no use going to bed because I wont sleep And Howie dropped into a chair buried his face in his hands His shoulders shook because he was crying like a little boy The before bad battled a trim overtime layoff fame with the Bra ins Both clubs had powerful teams there was little to choose between them in strength and nothing to choose either in the balance of that particular same lucre had been a faceoff and Wetland a great little centreIce player who at one time held the championship of the National League faced pack shot into the air as the sticks dashed jumped swiftly batted down with his hand pounced on it like lightning and blasted off the shot that won the game all done more quickly than can write or even read the words describing the play was heartbroken He felt that he alone was re sponsible for the defeat of the team because thats the kind of player thats the kind of man he happened to be In all the history of hockey there never was a more sincere com petitor Nights of an important game indeed on the night of any game would be at the rink at least an hour before game time restlessly pacing around the long promen ade as highstrung as a thoroughbred that is being readied for a race Howie died as he would have wanted it in the harness of the game he loved At least he sustained in hockey the injury which led to his death Hurtling in on an opposing goal he tripped fell caromed skatesfirst into boards shattered a leg A great competitor even when his biasing speed was losing glittering fire He lived for speed lived By speed and for speed he died The hockey world still recalls bat few know he came into big game league hockey against his will over his own tears in fact But thats another story and some day it will be written right In this Calvert column Continued from Page No Monopoly We want to make it clear to Mr P J Picking editor of the Banner that neither he nor the newspaper he represents holds any private monopoly either over the press table in the mu nicipal buildings or any of the chairs therein It is necessary that this should be stated in view of an experience that befell our reporter at a meeting of council held on January We arranged that this lady who was an honor student at and a very compe tent writer should take our place at the press table on the above date She had seated her self at the press table when the said Mr Picking arrived and in formed her that she must va cate the chair she was occupy ing as she was sitting in his place Much surprised and em barrassed the lady rose and car ried a chair to another position at the table We are aware that the science of social behavior reaches back to the primordial age when manners were barbaric rather than elegant Man in the la ter refined processes of is often observed to give way to a lady to offer her a seat where necessary and to prac tice these civilized refinements as a privilege rather than a duty In the instance under re view the exception prov ed the rule we offered apolo gies to the lady who is a valued member of the Era staff Possessive Pose What we wish to make clear is this That opart altogether from the question of good or bad manners or even ruffianly de portment of any kind Mr Pick ing had no authority to order fry Maw DISTILLERS LIMITED J WILLIS Druggist The Drug Store News agent Tobacconist etc Business Founded St Aurora Telephone the lady out of her seat to way for himself The press table was presented to council for the use of the press not for its exclusive use by Aurora Banner reporters The chairs are the property of the town Actually it is a case of first come first served Certainly the Banner representatives have no priority either to the table or the chairs From an experience covering a period of a year and nine months we can say however that Mr Picking has assumed a strikingly possessive pose in re spect to the press table We have been left with so little space that it has been our cus tom for some time to write with our notebook poised on our knee The time has come now however for a protest in which we are not alone Council business is public business The ratepayers are concerned with what goes on at council and the press has a legitimate right to facilities be ing provided for its presenta tion not for one newspaper only but for others serving the inter ests of public business Usually there are two Banner reporters using the same table where normally four reporters could use it The more amenable arrange ment it seems would be the provision of an additional table and this facility we respectfully suggest to the mayor Dr Rose Em Centre BY

and after this one have two games to play in the Georgian Bay metropolis you can imagine that both teams will be gunning for this one Walt Fines will be back this one as a result of the executive decision although when Aurora and Midland meet on Feb and Feb both he and his stickswinging opponent Bud will sit the series out That makes a five game suspension for both lads and from all we hear the only thing that kept it from being worse was that neither lad was injur ed Wed hate to be the next player to appear before the ex ecutive however We understand coach Roy Con- who appeared with received a few of advice as to calming down his boys Fines appeared by himself and the words of wisdom handed out to both lads was terse and to the point Both and Fines shook hands and are on good terms With the exception of youthful Bob Fall is who sustained a bro ken ankle in practice last week the Bears will be at full strength injury is fortunately well covered by group insurance and the manner in which he received his injury is similar to that which Bill Wilkinson sustained a few years ago with the Hawks Wilkie slid into the boards and tried to stop it with his leg in place of his padded pants and did exactly the same thing Manager Cioss has signed a fine prospect for next year in the person of 16yearold Johnny Gray Kcttleby Gray is a goalie who is new to the district but hes
