FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE One Win Means A A LotIn NHL. " Race Just Now > By JACK MITCHELL i Canadian Press Staff Writer ! With a hope that the brain cells can stand the rich diet, we give 'you as food for thought the obser- 'vation of New York's Frankie Bou- cher on the theory of National Hockey League relativity this sea- 'son: "The teams are more evenly 'matched but we have a long way to go and anything can happen in this league." That was what the Rangers' manager was quoted as saying in 'Toronto( where his team meets the Leafs tomorrow night, What else San 4 coach say in a season like + +» Take Montreal Canadiens, There the Stanley Cup Champions were, night before last, in a humble tie dor the cellar, So they beat back + Onhicago Biack Hawks, 4-3, last might, That victory hoists them to within a point of the top, shared by Boston Bruins and Toronto. Had Chicago won, 1t would have been even more upsetting. Follow= ing their 6-2 win over the last place Detroit Red Wings the previous night, another win would have seen the Hawks leap all the way from the foot of the class to the head in two nights. As it is, they remain tied with the Rangers for fourth position, The reason for all the Leap- Yrogging, of cqurse, is the tightness of the race, w only three points separating first afi last place after '23 games have been played, It may be one team will show some foot in the five game week-end coming up. On the other hand, they could hud- dle closer together. With Chicago and Detroit the only teams scheduled for a single week-end contest, the other four all get double chances to open up a little space. The Canadiens' management in- jected two new bloods into the line- up last night, The pair, rearguard Roger Leger and forward Leo Gra- velle, helped the club considerably. Leger, brought up from Buffalo Bisons of the American League, made the plays for two Canuck counters, Gravelle, a blond speed- ster from the Amateur Montreal Royals, scored a third-period goal. The Habitants Punch Line did most of the damage, however, with centre Elmer Lach tallying twice, Rocket Maurice Richard once, and veteran Toe Blake getting two as- sists. ' Two of manager Johnny Gottse- lig's pony boys, Max Bentley and Bill Mosienko, netted goals and Red Hamill scored their other. The Hawks finished strongly after Mon- treal opened up a 2-0 lead in the first. 30 minutes. - Fish and Wildlife Poster Contest for School Children The Minister of the Department of Lands and Forests has an- nounced a Poster Competition Bh amongst pupils of Grade 7 and 8 of the Primary School of the Province of Ontario. The Poster will feature the con- ' servation of the fish and wildlife « resources of the Province, The objective of the competition : 1s to stimulate interest in these "+ valuable resources amongst the * youth and to develop in them a . realization that these resources con- . tribute a great deal to the economic ¥ and recreational wealth of our peo- e. A steondary consideration is that ideas for effective posters may be : developed by the contest, It is be- * lleved that this contest will also serve to stimulate a more active in- terest in their art work, with result- ant educational value. Details of the competition has been provided to all Public and Sep- arate Schools throughout the Prov- ince. A cash prize of $10.00 shall be awarded in each Inspectorate. In | addition there are three grand rizes to be awarded for the three t posters received from the Schools: 1st, $100.00; 2nd, $75.00; 3rd, $50.00. ' Every picture of 84-year-old Con- . mie Mack shows him with a big SRR TETRA NWR ah 6 |r smile, The club is as hopeless as Byer, but the turnstiles click mer- y. NEW PRO CAGE LEAGUE BEGINS PLAY WITH ELEVEN TEAMS BIG ARENAS, OUTSTANDING COACHES AND STAR PLAYERS "ED SADOWSKI pConn., a lawyer and insurance man, is the president of the league. He is the founder of the American Hockey league. Ned Irish, director of basketball for Madison Square Garden in New York, is executive By WALTER L. JOHNS Central Press Canadian Sporis Writer The Basketball Association of America, the newest professional cage loop, has begun play with 10 cities in the eastern half of the United States and one in Canada putting high-priced teams on the floors of the major arenas. Organized a year ago by manag- ers of the arenas which feature ice hockey and ice shows, the new pro. cage loop has set up a schedule of 60 games for each club and has ar- ranged a playoff schedule with an $84,600 pot of gold awaiting the players of the top six teams which will engage in the playoff. The league has a $2,000,000 budget and has rounded up big-name coaches and big-name college and professional players. High Salaries Salaries paid to players are twice as high as ever paid pro. cagers before. ; In an effort to make basketball a fourth major professional sport the organizers of the Basketball Asso- ciation of America are willing to spend the same approach the All- America Football Conference gave the pro football game. There are really 13 members in the league, but Buffalo and Indian- apolis are not playing this year be- cause of difficulties in getting their floor space available. The teams in the league are di- vided into two divisions, east and west. In the east are New York, Boston, - Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh and Providence. The western teams are Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis and Toronto. Well-known arena sites are avail- able for the games. These include New York's Madison Square Gar- den, seating 18/000; Chicago Stad- fum, seating 20,000; Cleveland Arena, seating 12,000; Boston Gar- dens, Detroit Olympia, Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens, and so on. Coaches of Teams In New York only four of the 30 home games will be played at Madi- son Square Garden. The other 26 will be played at the Sixty-Ninth Regiment Armory. The coaches and names of the teams follow: New York Knickerbockers--Neil Cohalan. Philadelphia Gottlieb. Washington Capitals --E. Auer- back. ; Warriors -- Eddie Boston Celtics--Honey Russell. Pittsburgh™ Ironmen--Paul Birch. Providencce Steamrollers -- Bob Morris. Cleveland Rebels--Dutch Dehzert. Chicago Stags--Harold Olsen. Detroit Falcons--Glenn Curtiss. St. Louis Bombers--Ken Loeffler, Torcnto Huskies--Ed, Sadowski. Dehnert and Russell are former members of the Original Celtics, great pro. cage team of 25 years ago. . Ken Loeffler was the Yale coach. {Olsen is the former Ohio State coach. Helping Paul Birch, the great pro. star, at Pittsburgh, will be Chick Pavis, the well-known Duquesne coach, With four minor changes, the league will play intercollegiate rules. The changes are that substitutions will be unlimited, foul shots are not optional, . coach from the bench will be legal and games will be played in four quarters of 12 minutes each. Each team will carry 12 players. No team may sign a college. boy before his class graduates. There is to be no tampering with any player of other leagues who is known to be 'légally under contract. Star Players Signed Maurice Podoloff, of New Haven, director. Club officials are all prominent hockey or arena owners including Art Wirtz of Chicago, Al Sutphin of Cleveland and Walter Brown of Boston, Each club has signed star players. Among these ate Art Hillhouse, former Long Island ace, with Phila- delphia; Kenny Sailors, three-time all-American at Wyoming, with Cleveland; Ernie Calverly, great scoring star for Rhode Island State a few years ago, with Providence; Wpyndol Gray, Harvard high-scorer, with Boston, and Ossie Schechtman, Long Island standout, with New York. As an example of how thorough the club officials checked the bushes for talent we might say that Roy Clifford, director of basketball for the Cleveland Arena, and for many years a nationally-recognized coach at Western Reserve univers- ity, travelled 10,000 miles and inter- viewed dozens of players before signing up his squad. Clifford also informed us that some of the basketball floors being laid in the arenas are expensive propositions. In the Cleveland Arena for example, the floor cost $16,000, It is in 116 sections, about 16 feet long and four feet wide. The boards are interlocking and can be laid in two hours, Sport Fallacies Young horses are judged, and their value based, on appearance, conformation, and breeding. Yet many a horse which ranks tops in these departments proves a great disappointment in competi- tion, ,Even horses which manage to escape illnesses and adcidents; and which appear to be as handsome and sound as thoroughbreds come, may behave like cheap platers. They lack the fighting spirit, speed, and endurance which made their sires great, They simply haven't gat it. Why? You can't count on any- thing in horse racing! : GETS OFFER TO PLAY FOR ARSENAL TEAM Vancouver, Nov. 8--(CP)--Jackie Whent, starry halfback of St." An- drews in the Lower Mainland Soc cer League, has received an offer from Arsenal, First Division team of the English Soccer League, Whent confirmed last night, Whent played for Brighton in when he was overseas dur- ing the war.

She "regretted" that proper fa- cilities for sport were provided for only 17 per cent of the country's young people after the age of 14. Mrs. Kay Stammers Menzies, English tennis star, said she want. ed others to have fun out of play- ing tennis but this could only be done if proper facilities were avail- able. "More elbow room and breath- ing space" is needed, she said. La A A golf course for miners only on 350 acres of moorland in the heart of Scotland's industrial belt is planned by West Lothian and Lan- arkshire welfare officials, The moorland has been leased by the miners' welfare committee and a grant for equipment is sought from the welfare commission. It is claimed the course will be the finest in the industrial area of the country. The number of people who think they could run a football club has amazed Manchester City officials. The English league: second divi- sion club, which recently advertised for a manger, has received so many applications it will be necessary to hold a special board meeting "just to sort them out." Chairman Bob Smith sgid that "people In an amazing variety of jobs have applied, but we want an '| experienced man and there will be no limit to what we will pay if we can get him." + Anything an hadven in sport these days. After two balls had burst in a Scottish rugby league game, Referee 0! Don Murphy had his suspicions about the third one. He called a halt, examined the ball, found it to be neither round, square, ob- long nor even like a rugby ball. He tried all he knew to coax it back to its original shape but it refuséd to yield and he called the game off. Official reason: "Ball knocked out of shape." Notre Dame 'Quarter jack's injured right ankle have re- duced the swelling and the 21-year- oki Notre Dame quarterback will play against Army Saturday, it was announced today. Lujack was hurt Wednesday in a practice scrimmage and it still is doubtful whether he will be able to go all the way in the Yankee Sta- dium tilt that sports writers have billed ag the battle of the century. Notre Dame is a slight favorite for the climatic contest that prob- ably will decide the top-ranking United States college team of the N.H.L.

Brim- CREDITS SOCCER - FOR HAVING GRID TEAM IN SHAPE By FRED KERNER Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Nov. 8.--(CP)--There are football teams and football teams, training systems and train- ing systems, but there's a High School team in Toronto that IS a team and its coach attributes that fact mainly to his training system. - There are some who say that Riverdale Collegiate's senior squad this season is one of the best bal- anced school teams Toronto has seen in years. Some of the old-tim- ers say 20 years. With pride Coach Fred Pollard points to the season's five-game record--five wins; 144 points scored; 18 points scored a t. Pollard in- sists the secret lies in fine condi- tioning. The special secret of this condi- tion was only revealed the other '| day when Hal (Toronto Globe and Mail) Walker happened along at a Riverdale practice session. The boys were not sprinting around the fielg, they weren't doing calisthen- cs. They were divided into twb teams and were playing--soccer, "It works better," Pollard said. "They don't mind running into'con- dition this way." "Some players just won't work at the drudgery of getting into shape, But when they have something like soccer to keep them on the move, they're bound to run themselves in- to shape."

They have signed to return there to train in 1047 and 1948, McGill Coach Quits Coach of McGill university senior football squads since 1935, Doug Kerr (above), has resigned, In his resignation, Coach Kerr stated that in his opinion "the intense desire to win championships is robbing the game of many of ts most desi- rable features" according to a statement by university authoritizs, May Be A New World's Mark In Swimming Records Vancouver, Nov.. 8.--(CP)---Irene Strong, 17-year-old holder of more than a dozen Canadian swimming records, established a Canadian record of three minutes, 7 6/10 sec- onds for the 220-yard breaststroke on Wednesday night, and Percy Norman, veteran Vancouver swim- ming coach, said "It looks to me like a world mark." The tall, dark girl knocked 2/10 seconds off the previous Canadian record, held by Joan Langdon, formerly of Vancouver and mow of Toronto, but Mr, Norman said "we won't know about the World mark until the records have been checked by the Canadian Amateur Swim- ming Association." Miss Strong, who captured the junior and senior breast stroke titles, the 150-yard individual med- ley at Hamilton last year, was also a member of the Canadian Medley relay team. The record made by Miss Strong was made at the opening of the Y.M.CA. swim season and was at- tended by official timers. BUT ONLY THEN Johnny Weismuller, the swim- ming champion, refuses to swim in deep water unless there is a guard on duty. If you are a better swim- mer than VY eismuller, you can ne- glect this rule, but mot otherwise. Marcelle Hansenne, French mile runner and sports writer, will not again run on the boards, He tried the indoor sport in New York the past season and wound up with very sore feet.
