Skiers In Form For Olympic Test Valcartier, Que.,, Dec. 19 -- (CP)--With the going made hea- v¥.by recent snowfalls, the "trail. 'breakers wanted" sign was hoist= ed today in the ski lodge here where eight cross-country run- nérs reported themselves in fine fettle for tomorrow's final and deciding Olympic trial, 'Biz Bill Johnson of Sudbury, one of the leading contenders for the coveted 11th position on Can- ada's Olympic-bound ski team, said last night he'd like to see a few trat#l-blazers. Second in last week's initial race, he's schedu- led to.start first tomorrow. It is believed Olympic officials will hold a meeting here imme- diately afier the race and an- ounce the winner. "If there are no trail breakers 'an@ the going remains slow, it might mean the loss of 30 sec- onds," Johnson said last night. With 'ideal conditions such as prevailed last Saturday, he said hegwouldn't be at all worried abput having to cut out his own pace, With fio trail blazers, the man who logically figured as' having the best chance is Tom Dennie of Quechee, who last week . placed firgi after speeding over the couse in one honr, 15 minutes nadg23 seconds.

By MEL SUFRIN Canadian Press Staff Writer Windsor, Dec. 19--(CP)--Day by day in every way it looks more and more like the old timers are right. The game of ice hockey isn't the same. But the changes wrought in the pastime aren't exactly what many of the fans from away back seem to think. It's common knowledge that hockey has changed physically, But there's another change that's even § more pronounced. Hockey has un- dergone a psychological face-lifting. For one thing, the days when a blood-and-thunder coach would de- clare vigorously before game time that "we're going to beat the pants off em," and leave it at that, has gone. Nowadays they use guarded dip- lomatic language designed to lull the opposition into a false sense of confidence that will leave them in the right psychological frame of mind to be caught off guard with three quick goals in the first 10 minutes. : "We're pretty weak," you'll hear the coach of 1947 say. "We've got a couple of regulars out with injuries and I don't know how we'll do to- morrow night, Maybe with a bit of luck "we'll 'get a tie." Example One of these coaches with the wily, plotting mifd is Frank Bou- cher. He's well known for making pre-season predictions on where every team in the League will wind up. In several seasons past he's relegated his New York Rangers to a lowly position. That's exactly where they've wound up. Then this year he suggested them for the fourth spot. Naturally, everyone who has been conditioned to the idea of New York being down around the bottom, laughed. Doug (Windsor Star) Vaughan re- lates how Boucher found himself laughed at, loud and long, by most of hockey's wise men. But, says Vaughan, "the wise men arent laughing any longer. It's Boucher's turn to chuckle now." His team is currently the hottest in the League, presently sitting in that fourth place spot. And, Vaughan adds, "If they con- tinue to click for the rest of the season the way they have for the past month, there are going to be plenty of red faces around the hockey wheel." It's clear what Boucher was try- ing to do. In past years he pre- dicted the Rangers would wind up around last place, all the time figur- ng ey could cop the fourth place of. This year's fourth place predic- tion means he expects them to wind up among the leaders by taking ad- vantage of that sense of false secur- ity instilled into the five other N.H.L.

As the bowling had no effect on the stapdings of the teams or to the 4ndividual averages of the bowlers, it was a night of relaxing with a good time rather (than good bowling being stressed. y The winner of the high single was Ed Disney with 324. High triple was taken by Dick Mosscrop with 713. The winners of the ten Mystery Prizes were: Bob Hess 416, Larry Mar- tin 496, Al Cay 532, Cliff Crowell 542, Ralph Gulliver 571, Bram Cook 587, Don Brown 609, Al Reddoch 625, Lorne Goodman, Gord Umphrey 651, Oak | Crawford 669. Don't forget fellows, next bowling night is not until January 6th, 1948. MAYFAIR LADIES' LEAGUE Well here we are again and for the last time this year. There will be no league bowling for the next two weeks. By that time I hope everyone will be well rested after the holiday rush and we can settle down to some serious bowling. There were some nice triples and singles this week, but not nearly as good as last Wednesday. The Low Jinks are leading this sec- tion but only by one point. Four teams are tied for second place with 8 points each and three teams in third spot Greenhorns' Happy Gang . with seven points. What happened | to the Busy Bees? Better start buzzing | That little black and white stinker | showed up again when the Low Jinks | and Die Hards blanked the Happy | Gang and Busy Bees, Blitzers and Hopefuls settled for 2 | points each with the Playfairs and Hi- Jinks. | Jonahs, Jesetrs, Dreamers and Green- | horns took 3 points from the Hubba Hubba, Roamers, Lucky Strikes and Has Beens.

Col, Eddie Eagan, chairman of the New York State Athletic commission, who erdered the pur- ses released when the commission found no evidence of fraud, sta- ted that Lamotta remains under indefinite suspension for having entered the fight without disclo- sing a spleen injury. So] Strauss, acting head of the 20th Century Sporting Club, said, "It'll be a long, long time before 1 fights in the Garden again. "He has to prove to me he's a top notch Lamotta, not the sec- ond rate one who fought Fox." The pay envelopes of the two fighters $23,910.22 each, were held up after Fox gave Lamotta a bad beating and forced the re- feree to stop the battle in the fourth round, "Immediately after the Lamot- WOLVERINE HAS THE EVIL EYE OF THE WILDERNESS By JACK WELCH Probably more stories, fictitious apd factual, have been related about the wolverine than any other denizen of the wild. Shorn of the fabulous strength and superhuman brain with which tradition has en- dowed him, he's still a savage, vin- dictive, repulsive thief, which at 25 pounds ringside can easily slay a partially disabled deer and under some circumstances is audacious enough to attack man himself. He's primarily a night prowler and scavenggr, preferring to steal his food--hé'll eat anything along the line of decayed fish or spoiled meat--rather than work for it. He'll follow a trap line persistently, day after day, robbing it of captured furbearers. Once inside a back- woods cabin he'll wreck everything in sight. His odor is more vile than that of any skunk and even a starv- ing man would hesitate to taste his flesh. Indians say the wolverine, some- times known as glutton or carajou, is possessed of an evil spirit, and many a frontiersman who has come in contact with the brute would be inclined to agree. There still are plenty of the big weasels in Arctic regions, and even in southern areas of the Dominion, but they've be- come so scarce in the U.S. that few human beings ever have seen one below the border. | Strangely enough, it's said by wildlife experts there's no evidence the wolverine ever was a native of Michigan, though state is named for it. One was killed ta-Fox boxing contest the com- mission advised you to hold up the payment of purses pending its investigation," Eagan wrote Strauss. "The results do not show any evidence that would indicate fraud in the arrangement. for or conduct of this watch. Such re- sults do not preclude possible evidence developed in the further investigation by the office of the district attorney who is also con- ducting an investigation in this matter. "We have requested from the attorney-general's office an opin- ion as to whether we have any specific authority permitting the further suspension of the pay- ment of these purses to the par- ticipants. The attorney-general has advised that we have no such further authority under the cir- cumstances in this case." Lamotta picked up his cheque action, Fox was expected to .do so today when the' Philadelphia slugger is expected to sign for his return title bout March § with light-heavyweight champion Gus Lesnevich, the Wolverine" as soon as he learned of Eagan's in Ohio two or three years ago. The last authentic record of a wolverine being taken in Minnesota dates back to 1923, but now the Gopher state conservation depart- ment is tracing a clue that may produce evidence of one of the ani- mals being Filled there during the recent deer season. It seems a deer hunter, after hav- ing bagged his venison, shot some strange animal which he described as weighing about 40 pounds, with long tail and brown, shaggy fur. He gave the carcass to' a mink rancher, A wolverine doesn't weigh that much and it doesn't have a long tail, but it does have a dark brown, shaggy coat. Anyway, Minnesota wants to know what the animal was and is offer. ing to buy bones, hide or other rem- nants of the mystery beast. The carajou, by the way, has one good quality. Its hair doesn't "ice up" when breathed on, even in the Arctic, so it's valuable for fringes on parka hoods. models from 1941 to 1947. 1938 Ford Coach All These Cars This is Our....
