PAGE TWO THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1948 Old Country Letter By MICHAEL O'MARA Canadian Press Staff Writer It's cup-fever time in Britain an annual insanity which converts hundreds of thousands of staid lit- tle men into raving lunatics who would undergo almost any hard- ship to cheer their soccer favorites along the golden road to Wembley Stadium, The British sport fan is a hardy creature under any circumstances and none generally are more im- pervious to rain, sleet and ow and difficult travelling conditions than the football enthusiasts all season long. But when cup-tie time comes around, enthusiasm turns to mania. Here's what happened Saturday --a dismal day with assorted bad weather hanging over most of Eng- + land but also the big day on which 16 games are staged in the fourth round of the Football Association's Cup Tournament. More than 500,000 fans watched 32 teams slithering through mud to glory or disaster and thousands more were turned away from locked gates, London, -- where five cup-ties were staged, was invaded as early es four hours before dawn by rosetted, noise-maker-waving fans from various parts of the country who toured the west end in the morning and at moon descended in So He Can Windsor, Ont.

MacMillan until Feb. 3. Bangle, first to appear, was scarcely able to stand up as . the charge was read and continued fumbling at the rail of the prison- er's dock for support. narcotics. Both were remanded in | ye: Drug Addict Gets 'Shot' Face Court After Falling In Hall Magistrate MacMillan set the case over until next week without agreeing to ball being set, at which Bangle protested that "he had been getting out on bail for the last 15 ars." Deprived of narcotics since Mon- day night, Abrams was brought in- to court with considerable difficul- ty. After he had collapsed, scream- ing and cursing, on the court room stairs was recessed until a physic- ian was brought in to administer a shot of morphine to enable him to answer the charge. Supported by police officers, he Jade his appearance five minutes r. p His request for bail was also not allowed by the magistrate and he was taken from the court room shouting, "Why have I been denied a doctor? Why have I been denied the British' justice I've heard so much about?" The two men were arrested in an anti-narcotics campaign by the R.CM.P. who booked two other suspects for investigation today. Jacob Hilderman, 43, of Winni- peg, was taken into custody last week and now is on $5,000 bail charged with possession of diace- tyle morphine. Also held on narcotics charge is Stewart Dunford, who was shot in the hip as he tried to flee police Jan. 12 after being arrested for al- legea shoplifting in a downtown store, On admission to hospital he was found' to have illegal cquipment for taking narcotics.
