Eddie Shore threatsned to be a hold out this year when Boston Bruins contracts were boing signed. Whilse the rest of the lads were trainirg, Eddie sat out at his Sasâ€" katchewan farm wondering what salary he would ask. But he reâ€" turned to the fold with little arguâ€" ment and is playing with the Bruins now. He and Jack Portland, Cclâ€" lingwood lad who lived for many years in the North, held down the dsfence when Bruins beat Maroons He Came Back Size and shape as shown Penalty Shot Tried in Sudbury Hockey Down in Sudbury, where hockey is in full swing, they‘ve teen playing proâ€" fessiconal rules, as will probably be the case when the Gold Belt loop Here is the opinion of The Sudbury Star about at least one professional rule:â€" The Perailty Shot Provcs Dud Hockey fans in the Nickel District have now had an opportunity to see the muchâ€"discussed penalty shot in operaâ€" tion on two separate occasions and in each instance the heralded threat has been a "dud." The player taking the shot has had‘ no sense of direction and in both cases the puck has been far wide of the n*t. From the above it can be seen that numerous occasions may arise when a penalty shot can be awarded, but unâ€" less teams train at least one man who can lay the rubber on the net, the penâ€" Sudbury Star Sports Writer Says at Least One Profesâ€" sional Rule Doesn‘t Work. alty shot will not prove such a boon toward eliminating tripping inside the defence zone, and in fact unless marksâ€" manship is develop:d will prove a boomerang. If a defending player is tricked by an incoming forward, leavâ€" ing the goal yawning unprotected, the tricked defenceman will be inclined to deliberately trip the attacking puckâ€" carrier, saving an aimost. certain goal on the chance of the other side not scoring on the penalty shot. Teams must give some thought and considerâ€" a goal not be scored from a penalty shot the puck shall be faced off on the goal line 15 feet from the nearest goal post. Nothwithstanding the award of the penalty shot, the penalty preâ€" scribed elsewhere in these rules for the offence leading up to the penalty shot shall also be imposed." Penalty shots are awarded for offences under several rulings as follows: "No defending player, except the goalie, shall ‘be permitted to fall on the puck when the puck is within 10 feet of his own net. For infringsment of the rule, play shall immediately be stopped and "When a player is tripped or otherâ€" wise fouled and thus prevented from having a clear shot on goal, having no other plager to pass than the offending player, a penalty shot shall be awarded. While the play has beer witnessed by a big following of hockey fans, the majority are very much in the dark as to just what the penalty shot conâ€" stitutes and und®r what circumstances a penalty shot can be awarded. For the benefit of all hockey followers we quote excerpts from the new National Hockey rules governing the "peralty shot": "No goalâ€"keeper sh@ll be allowed to hold the puck with his hands or arms. He may catch the puck in his hand but must clear immediately and must not throw the puck forward towards his copponents‘ goal. For infringement of this rule a penalty shot shall se awardâ€" ed against the offender. able practice to developing snipers who can make the penalty shot a real threat if the "penalty shot‘"‘ clauses are to have any teeth in them. "The penalty shot shall be taken from a spot 38 feet from and at right angles to the centre of the goal line, set in the centre of a circle of 14 feet in diaâ€" meter marked on the ice. The penalty shot may be taken by any player on the nonâ€"offending side who is still not at that moment serving a penalty. While the shot is being taken, the players of both teams shall withdraw to the sides of the rink. The player taking the shot may do so from a stationary position or may be in motion but may not make ary contact with puck ones it has left the circle. The goalâ€"keeper of the deâ€" fending side must take a stationary pcsition in front of his goal and must not advance more than a foot in front of his goal line while the shot is being taken. Should he fail to do so, the reâ€" feree shall order another penalty shot. Should the player taking the shot have eecntact with the puck after it has lefi the circle, and the puck enter the net, the goal shall be disallowed and a secâ€" ond atempt not permitted. Should a goal be scorgd from a peralty shot, the puck shall be faced in midâ€"ice. Should a penalty shot as in Rule 27 shall be ordered. Games of Finland Feature Event Here Folk games of Finland as well as Hallowe‘en games of Canada were the chief source of amusement at the party given last week at the Finnish United Church here that was attended 5y a large number of the members of the Bunday school, the young people of the communicants class, junior girls‘ choir, and older people of the congregation. Proceeds of the party, $8.65, were addâ€" ed to the Sunday school treasury. Thanks were extended to those in Timâ€" mins who had provided refreshments for the occasion. The party opened with the singing of "O Canada" and closed with "God Save the King." The new International League team, Pittsburgh Hornets, is the former Deâ€" trcit Olympics. Ron Hudson, former Timmirs hockey player, is a member of the Hornets, having been retained from the Pittsburgh Shamrocks of last year, the only member of that team who made the grade. Happy Party at Finnish United Church on Halâ€" lowe‘en. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE. TIMMINS, ONTARIO The Poupore Cup, brought here on Saturday by the North Bay Collegiate team and left in charge of the Timmins High and Vocational School squad, is emblematic of the championship of Northern Ontario. Yet it has never before ‘seen farther north than Sudâ€" Itshome town is the Nick#l City, for it was put up there for competition by M. J. Posupore in 1926. Three years since that time it has spent in the shadow of the Irterrational Nickel stacks.. Six years it has remained withâ€" in sound of the whistles of T. N. O. train whistles at North Bay. How long will it remain in Canada‘s Greatest Gold Camp? No doubt about it, the winning of the champicnship has been a good thing for rugby in general in the Porcupine. (See Ab Gray‘s column). Psrhaps this year‘s junior team (which was seen only once in action here this year) will step into the places of those who will be leaving the senior squad next year and extend the visit of the Poupore trcphy. Writer Joins Team Accordirg to a report that came flyâ€" ing up here from Kirkland Lake this week, one Northern sports writer is to be a member of a team within a short time. Usually it‘s bad business for a sports editor to be one Oof a teamâ€"it‘s been known to lead to favouritism, of which many an inrocent reportenr is accused. The other "live hockey centre" is Sudbury, where the Nickel Belt league got under way about two months before the N.O.H.A. will be ready to start. Frocod Mines won the cpener from Reâ€" finery by 4â€"2. Stars of last year‘s Alâ€" lan Cup finalist team are heard from again. Grosso and Hill, for instance. But thsre are others in the scoring columnâ€"Seymour, Chamberlain, Hastie, Gletcher, Singbush, to mention a few. So it looks as if the prediction from Eudbury that they had a great deal of material available, is true enough. One rugby outfit, including helmet, is said to wzigh between 10 and 15 pourdsâ€"except when a player is on a gridiron like the one the Timmins and North Bay lads suffered here last Satâ€" urday. A player who believes sincer:â€" ly in the experimental method as taught in physics and chemistry class thought that maybe he was carrying around a little extra weight in that Saturday game, so he weighed his outfit just as it was after the gameâ€"soaking wet. It tipped the scales at an even fiftyâ€" five pourds! No wonder the lads were tired. Fancy carrying around 40 pounds of extra in an hour of football like that! But this tims it‘s almost certain that the sport columns of The Northern News will not suffer. The tieâ€"up this time has the approval of everysody, for the girl of Jack Maunder‘s choice is of Kirkland Lake, too. Dcranâ€"Miller Combine Again Two live hockey centres got their first real look at their teams on Monâ€" day right this week. At Toronto 13,00b fans turned out to see Eddie Power‘s Whites beat Dick Irvin‘s Blues in the Kiwanis benefit game before the openâ€" ing of the professional season in ‘Toâ€" ronto. Mike Miller and "Bummer" Doran, the two South Porcupine lads who will be farmed out by the Maple Leafs on the Syracuse team this year, must have enjoyed themselves a lot. For they were on the Blues team toâ€" gether and scored the first goal of that team. C. W. Macqueen, Mail and Emâ€" pire sporis writer says they "showed up well and again demonstrated that they are N.H.L. material of the future. Milâ€" ler is perhaps the most pleasant surâ€" prise of the rookies, outside of Apps." The number of colds started these days would indicate that most of us are not able to ward off a chill brought on by a sudden drop in temperature Or dampness underfoot. Even if you do feel that you are a big heâ€"man, an exâ€" tra sweater carried along in your bag will be helpful. It may be warm when you start your round but it can g°t pretty cold hefore you finish thase fall days, particularly if you are finishâ€" ing near sundown. Even if you start out wearing one sweater you should have another or a jacket, something or the order of windbreaker to slip on when it rains or gets colder. Put the extra garment into your caddy bag. Your caddy will realize the possible need for it.

Haileybury, Nov. 5.â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"A team that dropp:d the first two games of a fourâ€"contost schedule came back to win the chamâ€" picrship of the Temiskaming High Echcols Rugby League, junior section, when Cobalt defeated Haileybury, two points to one, on a muddy field here in miserable weather Monday afterâ€" noon. The game concluded as close a group race as ever was staged in any €ague in this district. This cortest, final game of the playâ€" off series, was the second meeting beâ€" tween the teams, who had played to a twoâ€"all tie on Saturday. Previqusly, Coâ€" balt had overcome New Liskeard, the other entrant, also by a single point and also after they had battled throuzh one drawn struggle. Haileyoury drew the bye in the playoff series, necessary b:cause the teams finished in a"trip;e tie at the end of the regula ar schdule. In the four games which consfituted Cobalt Takes Championship in H. S. Rugby League Afâ€" ter Loss of Two Games the criginal program, each team defeatâ€" ed its rival once apie¢s, thus finishing all square, and this after Cobalt had been beaten in its first two starts. In the final game of the season here on Monday, Haileybury got a point in the first quarter and Cobalt two in the second. Although Haileybury once got the ball within inches of the Cobalt line, no score followed and Cobalt held out grimly to the end. Andy Cangiano‘s Orchestra Windsor Daily Star:â€"*"Nobody reads editorials," says a D:snver publisher. However,. just bawl somebody out and see what happens. JITNEY DANCING RIVERSIDE _PAVILION Now that the rugby season has been brought to such a highly satisfactory ecnclusion here in Timmins, we will have to be content to satiate our apâ€" petite for the game for the balance of the season with despatches from the more scutherly fronts where the grid warriors are still doing battle for the various honours. This does, however, give us more time for reflection, and already wso have been trying to account for the development of the game here within the brief span of four years to the point where a championship team has besn produced. We think the answer lies in one wordâ€"enthusiasm ; enthusiasm of those who have sponsored the sport, of the players, of the fans. First the sponsors. We consider the local school very fortunate in having W. W. Tanner at the helm. We doubt very much if there is a more â€"energetic principal in the province so far as schoocl sports are concerned. With him he has male teachers who have been ever ready to get out with the boys anu impart to them whatever knowledge of the sport they possess. The result has been that, after a year or so of drill in the fundamentals of the game, boys who formerly thought a punt was means of conveyance to be employed on fields such as that on which last Satâ€" urday‘s game was played, have become valuable material for the senior team. As for the players themselves, to ccmprehend their enthusiasm, one need only observe the activity on any of the local parks, school grounds or vacant lots during the autumn weeks. Only the other day, we noticed two halfâ€" pints of 6 oft 7 years endeavouring to kick placements through an improvised goal with a rag ball which we doubt if such experts as Varsity‘s Cam Gray could hoist over from the ten yard line. It is thus that the future greats of any game often get their beginning. Did not the Waner boys of fame learn to hit a ball by tossing cornâ€"cobs at sach other on their father‘s farm in the corn belt of the West? The game itself has much to recomâ€" mend it. Its strenuous quality gives it an appeal to any redâ€"bloodsd boy as a heâ€"man‘s game. There are those that argue that it is too rough. Let us reâ€" mird them that it is only after a terâ€" rific pounding that the rock of this locality yields its values. In a somseâ€" what similar way, we maintain that it is only after a boy has taken the knocks that are involved in such a game as rugby that the finer qualities latent in lhim are brought out. It has been said that the battle of Waterloo was wor on the playing fields of Eton. By the same token, we say that the battle of Life, with its many rebuffs, may be won on the rugby field. It is no doubt with this in mind that Principal Tanner bcosts rugby as a characterâ€"builder for boys. The fans have made their contribuâ€" tion too. Through their support, the necessary equipment has been provided, and through th:ir encouragment, that equipment has been used to the best advantage. Toâ€"day, most of the big teams will go through their last heavy practice in preparation for the allâ€"important tilts on Saturday. In attempting to call the winners of these fixtures, we find ourâ€" selves on the spot, but no more so than many of the tsams which must win to finish in the coveted positions. . . In the Interprovincial, we favour Arâ€" gos to beat Tigers and cinch first place, and Montreal to defeat Ottawa and tie for second place with Tigers. In the CO.RF.U., Balmy Beach will whip Hamilton and lead the league until Sarnia get their chance against the lowâ€" ly Cubs on the following Saturday. In the College loop, we predict the unusual situation of a threeâ€"way tie for first place after the results are in. This means that Western must defeat McGill at London, and (we say it in a whisper) Queen‘s will down Varsity at Kingston. Our reason for this last choiceâ€"Teddy Reeve. That is our story, however, and we will stick to itâ€"â€"at least until Saturâ€" day evening. In a game this week between Delta and Cathedral High Schools at Hamilâ€" ton, Bill Murmylyk snared a D2lta forâ€" ward pass and ran 115 yards to a touchâ€" down for Cathedral, winning the game.
