players drive fifty or sixty miles two nights a week in order to play forty minutes of hockey why- do these same players pay 50c out of their pockets per game plus the referees fees immediatly following the contest in the majority of cases it is the true love of sport in the heart of each individual that makes the thi the largest organized league in the world in many teams who operate in the thi there is a firm or company that puts up enough money to equip the club with proper sweaters but from then on the team is strictly on its own could it be that some of the players have their eye focused on a distant star in hopes that some day they might rise above the rank and file of the average player and hit bigtime prom inence it is true that many stars of today got their start on the road to success by joining a thi club but the number is quite slim in comparison with those who play for the mere fun of playing the same plan is true for referees these officials drive their cars throughout toronto and suburbs in all kinds of weather and road conditions they practically freeze to death while handling five games of hockey a night and arrive home ill the small hours of the morning for a mere 750 a night cer tainly these men do not expect to retire from their earnings but without them the league could not operate sure some day they might be boosted into the oha ranks where the pay is worthwhile but until that time arrives they are content to offer their services for the good of sport there was talk at one time that this wellknown league would disband for want of financial aid but while theres hockeyloving young men within a fifty mile radius of toronto the league should continue to thrive at the present time the ti1l is using two and four nights a week for

leagues most colorful player he has filled the gap made vacant by such colorful stars as eddie shore king clancy and howie morenz in his eleven season swing with canadiens the lyearoid rocket has had an electric effect on fans and players alike his fists and stick have left many a sear on the faces of opposing players and at the same time he has become the greatest scorer iii the history of

assault against king ston- rockribbed defence johnson stopped them twice in quick succession with less than a minute to go then nelson who was unchecked missed a rebound near the goal mouth the arena
