FRANK NIGHBOR First Winner, He Still Has Original Lady Byng Trophy By BEN WARD PEMBROKE, Ont. (CP -- One of the most unusual trophy presentations in hockey history occurred in re red on a warm epring ni in F Lady wal wife of the Gov- ernor-General, sent a message to Frank Nighbor, star extra- ordinary of the famed Ottawa Senators. Would Mr, Nighbor drop into Rideau Hall at his convenience? When Nighbor arrived, Lady Byng took him into a drawing room where a_ huge silver trophy was displayed on the table. She held it up and asked him whether the National Hockey League would be will- ing to accept ii for annual award to its most sportsman- like player. t Nighbot said the NHL prob- ably would be delighted. "Then," said Lady Byng, "I present this trophy to Frank Nighbor as the most sportsman- like player for 1925." Nighbor, today living in com- fortable retirement in this Ot- tawa Valley town, recalls that as one of the most memorable events in the 1915-30 hockey era when his name and exploits were as familiar to sports fans as those of Gordie Howe or Rocket Richard are today. JUDGMENT UPHELD There were no complaints about the rather arbitrary man- ner in which Lady Byng, an ar- dent hockey fan, handled the in- augural award of the Lady Byng trophy. A vote of sports writers in the league cities a year later upheld her judgment by naming Nighbor a repeat winner "They hand out a_ $1,000 cheque with the Byng award. to- day," says Nighbor, "but I wouldn't trade this for $10,- 000." He was holding up the miniature Lady Byng trophy the governor - general's wife gave him that night 38 years ago. ' Nighbor, hair thinning and atep slowing to a shuffle, re- cently marked his 70th birth- day. But. he still is only five pounds above his 160 - pound hailed as the outstanding two- way forward in the league. In the 1916-17 season -he and "THE PEMBROKE PEACH" IN HOCKEY HALL OF FAME cartilage. From there the Pem- broke Peach went downhill. "I knew I was just about over the hill," he recalls. 'Then Conn Smythe offered Ottawa $50,000 for my contract, I couldn't believe it." Nighbor moved to Smythe's Toronto Maple Leafs for the 1929-30 season but he had a tough time keeping pace with younger players. At the end of the season Smythe revealed the real rea- son for his purchase. He asked Nighbor to coach Toronto, "It was a great chance," he) says, "but I had to turn it} down, My wife was back in Ot- tawa dying of TB and I decided to get out of hockey and stay (Top Five Teams In Old Country Soccer Leagues LONDON (AP)--Standings of top teams in Old Country soccer (including Saturday's games): ENGLISH LEAGUE Division I APt Tottenham 15 5 75 3435 Everton Leicester 13:7 52 32 33 Burnley 13 5 48 33 31 Liverpool Division 1 Chelsea 5 36 2137 Bury q 22 32 Sunderland 4 51 3431) Plymouth 39 30 Stoke City 40 25 29) Division 1 Peterboro 14.68 Swindon Town 12 8 6 47 34 31 32 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, February 19,1963 7] Ukrainian Horseman To Make Winnipeg WINNIPEG (CP)--A_ Ukrain- 14 6 53 29 34 ian-born horseman who once} was chief instructor of the Pol- ish cavalry has been given the 13 4 48 3130 job of turning Winnipeg into a centre of equestrian training in Canada, Maj.

Later he coached London Tecumsehs, in the same league, for a season "but my heart just wasn't in it any more." He returned to Pembroke and the general insurance business he had kept: up in partnership with Dave Behan ail through his hockey career. Nighbor retired from the in- surance business 18 months ago, buying out Behan and turning the firm over to Frank Jr. Then he took a five-month win- ter vacation in Florida before settling back amid his memor- ies and mementos.

Discussing conventional dres- sage, where the rider dictates every move the horse makes by deft but almost invisible move- ments of hand, foot and body, he has this to say: "The main thing is not to try to teach the horse any trick movement, but to let him de- 'Equestrian Centre velop naturally.

Kuleza was waite ing, mounted and sword in hand, when the German panzers swept into Poland in the Second World War, He says the horsemen were able to keep the German tanks from advancing from noon un- til nightfall. Then they ran. He was captured later in Warsaw and spent five years in concen- ag camps in Germany and taly. ; CALLED TO BRITAIN After the war the British Household Guards called on him to train 40-black horses, rider- less for five years, for the pro- cession at Elizabeth's wedding. "We had to teach them to walk in traffic and to canter to the right and left," Maj. Ku- leza says, adding that it took 20 months. | The International Olympic |Committee then asked him to train horses for the pentathlon event in the 1948 Olympics, where entrants are supplied with mounts. He explained that after they were trained, the top 50 horses were excluded. from competi- tion. The middle horses were used in order to assure that no rider had an advantage. After that he spent some time training the Irish jumping team, taking time out to train the Ca- nadians for the 1952 Olympics, then became head instructor at the Royal Etrier Belge in Brus- sels. When Maj. Anatole Piere- gorodzki died, he succeeded him at the Olympic Centre near Toronto.
