ii THAN With THAI M 1 6 ft- a lK 1 t WW n tar it aw New roles enacted by the O Hi A the efforts of Prank and yours truly and given unanimous approval pro vide the following penalties which are effective at once A match penalty and automatic suspension and appearance be fore the executive will now be meted out to any player who leaves the ice or bench to get into an altercation with spectators Players who dont leave the ice but tangle with spectators will also be dealt with under this rule The OHA will deal summar ily with players who tangle with the cash customers Another one we think will do a lot to wards keeping the game clean and certainly to prevent delays provides for a fine for all players who leave the bench to go on the ice when an argument starts If the fine is not paid pronto the player will be sus pended until it is handed over More salutary still is the clause under this rule which provides for a three game sus pension for the coach manager or person in charge of the team when players leave the bench to take part in a hassle If a coach cant control his players he shouldnt be in charge of the team and if players persist in ignoring him the coach will suf fer as well as the player That will simply mean that a lot of loosebrains and fire brands who because of their to enforce strictly the new rules after a first game loss have been doing well and will receive some additional help for insurance Bill Skill ex- Aurora and former pro who played with a but couldnt make the full trip will be flown over for the big series the sensational goalie of

happen as Ike of tho Hawks broke his ankle EsbsbI ia ft 1 i COLUMN This is a week which should furnish memories good and bad but certainly vivid for the greatest heavy weight war of modern times the Mauler Jack On February Jack suffered the only knockout defeat of his career when Fireman Jim a rough tough character out of Pueblo Colorado flattened him with one devastating punch But on February a who had found himself and was whirling upward took ample revenge He dropped his erstwhile conqueror also with a single punch a match that was scheduled for rounds but went only a small fraction of one I wasnt much more than a middleweight the first time I boxed Fireman told me years later was years old was horn June I didnt know much about boxing really started fighting in won some fights under the name of Kid some more under my own name was just a Journeyman fighter not too much interested in the trade And when was knocked out by a powerful fellow and a cagey fighter who knew much too much for me was Just on the verge of quitting the ring game entirely Then Jack Kearns came along Under Kearns I learned how to fight how to box a little how to use a left hand Then I began to really fight I found a style a bobandweave type of fighting that was something different I scored a lot of knockouts lost a decision to Willie but I was on my way taking on bigger and better foes The fact is the miraculous fought for four years before he finally began to look like somebody of im portance In his early days he had some terrific fights with specimens like the burly Negro John Lester Johnson Battling Jim Johnson Andre Anderson Wild Bert Andy and many other tough foes Some of his battles lasted rounds His later battles are still remembered as epics the mad assault on the giant Jess the furious melee with Luis Angel the Wild Bull of the Pampas and those two fights with Gene in which made more friends in defeat than he ever had in victory Thats the fantastic story one of the great leg ends of sport in our times a legend we recall because this is the anniversary of the week when he was on the verge of giving up the game in which he became an unforgettable figure thus Calvert D V KC
