Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. | By ALAN RANDAL Canadian Press Staft Writer Montreal, Dec, 15--(CP)--Cana- dian sport, it turns out, is serving the purpose of a propaganda agent and is being used as a medium to tell the troubled Old Land some- thing about the way of life in this Canada of ours. Elmer (Montreal Herald) Fer- guson takes ncte of this new Ine ternational play for Canadian sport and says: "It's being used to tell the rest of the world about the Canadian way of life to tell European coun= in wale are hating to go bck on their feet, while fighting the inroads and evils of Communism, something of the fashion in which we play our games in a democratic land." Broadcast NHL, Games The International division of the CBC, as part of its sport broadcast- ing program, sent to Germany the story of New York Rangers' Thurs- day night defeat of Montreal Ca- nadiens in an NHL. game, It was the first German-language broad- cast of a game in Canada. "Since hockey is Canada's "Na- tional Game" there may be some slight bewilderment in Germany to know that a team from the United States beat the Canadian team which won the National League championship last season," ventured Ferguson. "But not much more be- wilderment, perhaps, than there was among local fandom at the inept display of the Habitants."

McGill to Play U.S. Teams McGill University's football team is going to sharpen up next season with some games against American colleges. Dink (Montreal Gazette) Carroll, passing along this informa- tion from Vic Obeck who coaches at McGill, sald Vic doesn't know yet which United States colleges will be selected. "They have what they call an open date bureau down there" Obeck explained. "You put your name in for the dates you have open and later they send you a letter telling you all the other col- leges that are looking for games on those dates. We can learn a lot from a couple of games with American teams." | A LITTLE IRRATIONAL, MAYBE -- | BUT DUCK HUNTERS HAVE FUN By CLARK LAMB Duck hunters may be regarded by many as alittle on the zany side and the strange thing about them is that they will mot resent such an implication. ; They will 16pk only with to 'gn the man. who questions their complete sanity and pity him ith a genuine sympathy for his ignorance. : 'While ;they listen absently to the wife, thé boss, the friend, the golf- er; the Yootball or baseball fan be- rate their favorite sport, they gase intently; at the scudding clouds and wonder /if there are any big flights pettling in their favorite marsh, Few men in the pursuit of suc- pess or an honest living undertake of necessity what your duck hunter asks for and enjoys, Shooting starts at sunrise or near that time in various sections of the land and the duck hunter thrills as he climbs out of bed at 2 or 3 or 4 in the morning, and on bitterly cold mornings, so he may drive to marsh or lake and be ready in his blind when the first faint streaks of red tint the chill sky. _A man who demands and relishes 8 big warm breakfast throughout the year, the morning of the hunt finds him hurriedly gulping a bite or two lest he be late and filling a thermos 'bottle with coffee against the rigor mortis of freezing winds ahead of him. Safe in his blind before the sun arises, the vigil begins. Cold rains drenches his skin despite the best of canvas clothing, Snow flurries spat into his face for hours. His hands will become numb and his fingers like sticks, Ah, he will tell you, and he is right, but those are the days when the ducks fly. When a guy. can really get a bag. So what of the weather? : 'There is no prettier sight in this world, and he hopes there will be many like it in a happier place, than the swoop of teal, mallard, red head, 'as they swing in to his decoys. Then <¢omes the moment he has been waiting for all year, Then both his barrels blaze and the Supreme satisfaction of a whole year is ate d ed. . What if he did spend all the day before carrying boughs and gorn stalks and reeds and brush to build his bliid? What if he slaved as only a plageati slave or-a north woods- man work to build this per- fect blinfl and deceive even the most 'wagy of ducks? He gof some shooting, didn't he? We have known scme of the most restless of men, those who couldn't sit still in an office for half an hour, crouch all day in a duck blind with scarcély a tremor. They dn't 'get up and walk about anything in 'this world, My gdsh, you wouldn't want to stand up just when a big flight might be oming.over and scare them off the decoys, would" you? We have known the most ardent devotdes of Madame Nicotine, guys who never have a pipe or a cigar- ette cut of their mouths, go hour after hour in a duck blind without 'winners! a smoke. Why, don't you know a duck can see for miles up there and just one puff of smoke coming out of that blind and--zooom, they're off like the wind? \ Even the lads who find it h to enjoy anything without a bottle along will leave it at home or leave it 'untouched until the day's hunt- ing is over and the ducks are safe for another dawn. I've never heard them say that a duck can smell alcohol for miles but they do tell that a guy can't get the most out of it and will mess it up mad and if he's only a little bit in the bag himself he won? have any ducks in the bag when the day's over. Yes, a very peculiar breed, the duck hunters. And they can't be the least bit angry about my saying so.

Rangers Hotest Team In N.H.L. By HARRY ECCLES Canadian Press Staff Writer The National Hockey League spotlight today was on the New York Rangers, hottest pack in the league after six straight undefeated games. And the Baby spotlight be- longed to their substitute goalie Jim Henry, who on Saturday night turned in such a sensational chore of net-minding that a hostile Tor- onto crowd twice gave him an ova- tion while his mates were beating Toronto. The five-week-end games left To- onto's leadership margin but to three points over Detroit, with Bos- ton third by two points and New York Rangers in fourth spot only a point behind "Boston. Montreal Canadiens are at a new low, in fifth position a point behind Boston. Montreal Canadiens are at a new low, in fifth position a point be- hind New ¥ork. Chicago Hawks are in the cellar, five full games behind the Canadiens. Rangers beat Toronto 4-1 Satur- day while Detroit were edging Chi- cago 4-3. On Sunday Toronto, which hasnt won a game in Boston since March 6, 1945, gained a 1-1 draw against the Bruins. Rangers and Detroit fought another 1-1 tie Canadiens came up with three last period goals to defeat Chicago 4-3. Jim Henry was easily the hero of the plece in the Toronto game Sat- urday. Had 18 Shots The Leafs had 18 shots on goal in the first period and only one got by. That was after a wild scramble in the goalmouth when Max Bent- ley finally scored with assists to Joe Klukay and Cy Thomas. Rene Trudell earned a share of the Ranger hotiors Saturday too. After a grey-thatched Neil Colville had tricked Broda out of position and.calmly plunked the puck into the net to tie the score, Trudell got Rangers' second goal in the final period. - Tony Leswick made it 3-1 for New York before Trudell scored his second goal. At Detroit Saturday the Wings hung up their fifth triumph over the Hawks with there of Detroit's rookie forwards each getting a goal. Leftwinger Marty Pavelich scored for Detroit in the first period and Adam Brown tied it up in the se- cond. Then Rookie Jim McFadden put Detroit ahead to stay after feinting" Emile Francis out of posi- tion, Red Moddison, playing his second NHL. game, made it 3-1 before the second period was over. Pavelich was in the penalty box when Ernie Dickens scored for Chi- cago in the third but Jim Conacher scored another Detrojt goal in a couple of minutes and Roy Con- Syl Apps, the veteran centre and captain of Toronto Leafs, did not get into the Boston game Sunday. His knee was knocked Saturday and stiffened up. The team had been on the ice only 70 seconds when Boston goalie Frankie Brimsek cleared a hot shot from Howie Mee- ker to the back of the cage and Ted Kennedy grabbed it, shooting to Vic Lynn who scored from close range. Wilson Ties It Up With less than 20 seconds of the second, period to play, Wally Wilson got the tying goal for Boston on a 30-foot shot. At New York Sunday, the Red Wings took the lead when Doug McCaig scored on a long shot through a tangle of players in front of the New York Nets in the first period. Edgar Laprade, one of the stars of the game, gained the tie for New York when he snared a pass from Eddie Kullman and scor- ed off defenceman Bill Quaken- bush's leg late in the second per- fod game finally resulted in a roughing duel between Kullman annd Arm- and Guidolin of Detroit which con- tinued after the pair were banished with misconduct penalties: The Canadiens finally come to life in the last period at. Chicago Sunday. The 4-3 triumph over the Hawks was their second out of the last seven starts. The Hawks led 2-0 in the first period and 2-1 after the second. Bud Poile and Metro Prystal scored in the first period with Elmer Lach reducing the defi- cit. ' Bill Mosienko then pulled the score to 3-1 for Chicago before the Canadiens started rolling. Jimmy Peters, Maurice Richard and Glen Harmon scored in succession. "Aldershot, Surrey, Eng. --(CP)-- A tenant lived seven years rent free because the Jandlord could not be found.

OLLE TANDBERG FEELS THE CHAMPS MUSCLE * someone will come and break the hold the United States has on boxing. It doesn't necessarily follow. that Olle Tandberg, Swedish champion, is the one, for all we know about him is that he won a decision over Joe Baksi in a bout in Stockholm some time ago. But some fighter some- time is going to do it. And Tand- berg can't be dismissed as a push- over. Baksl, by all counts, isn't a Joe Louis nor even close, What Tand- berg has, therefore is a question until he meets other competition in the United States, which, in turn, isn't of the best as heavyweight fighters go. There hasn't been a prominent foreign contender who went any- where in the heavyweight division since the big hulk of Italian man, Primo Carnera, hit these shores. Carnera couldn't fight much and neither could he box but somehow he managed to win the warld's title by knocking out Jack Sharkey in six rounds back in 1933. A year later Carnera's 260 pounds were draped all over the canvas when Maxie Baer stopped him in 11 sessions. Some day, * * Before Carnera there were Tom Heeney and Max Schmeling. Hee- ney also failed to measure up to the standards of a topnotch heavy- weight fighter and even Gene Tun- ney, a surerior 'boxer with no real punching ability, knocked him out. Schmeling, however, was a strong competitor. He won the world's title in his bout with Sharkey in 1930 although he came by it via the foul route. Two years later Sharkey defeat- ed Schmeling on points to take the crown away from the German Dempsey. Since that time we have had Tommy Farr, Arturo Godoy and Bruce Woodcock, all of whom have shown flashes of class but not enough to really make an impres- sion, And now comes Tandberg, What he'll do remains to be séen, At least his -appearance on the scene indi- cates the boxing game is back on the upgrade. Tandberg is only one of the new crop of European fighters, Best of the others thus far is Marcel Cer- dan, the French middleweight who has shown he has some class.

Major Leaguers Reject West Coast Expansion Query New York, Dec. 12--(AP)--Ex- pansion of major league baseball to other territories "is a virtual cer- tainty during our. life time," a Yhigh major league official prophe- sled today. That prediction took some of the ache: out of the hearts of the mem- bers of the Pacific Coast League delegation who started their long journey back home with the sad news that once again their request for major league recognition had been rejected by the major leagués: In a carefully worded statement yesterday by Walter Mulbry, secre- tary to Commissioner A. B. Chand- ler, the majors said they recognized the probability of eventual expan- sion but that there appeared no minor league which was entitled to such classification at present. The coast league requested either unconditional major league status or a rise in classification by in- creasing the draft price of its play- ers from $10,000 to $25,000 and ex- tending the draft eligibility from four to six years. Meanwhiel a couple of deals that might become important factors in the major league pennant races were completed. New York Yankees finally came out of their trading lethargy by swapping outfielder Allie Clark to Cleveland Indians for pitcher Char- les (Red) Embree. In the second deal, Philadelphia Phils traded pitcher Tommy thes to Cincinnati for outfielder Bert Haas and a player to be delivered by next spring. Most: important among other business matters discussed at the joint session concerned Cuban baseball.

The way Red tells it, he'll have to do a lot more remembering, because Tigers are just beginning to rebuild a chain that was reduced to almost nothing--first by Judge Landis' famous ruling that freed about 90 farm hands, then by the war and Jack Zoeller's decision to get out of chain-store baseball.

HOCKEY CHIPS By The Canadian Press Pittsburgh Hornets today remain. ed at the top of the American Hoc- key League's western circuit after surviving their most. disastrous week-end of the season. Saturday night the Wasps were held to a 2-2 tie by the third-place Indianapolis Capitals and on Sun- day the same Caps bounced the Hornets 4-2. Hershey Bears, runners-up in the east, also were given rough treat- ment by opposing teams Saturday.

Either Johnson or Dennie, who carries an advantage of nine sec onds over the Sudbury skier, in- to mext Saturday's trial clincher, appeared slated for the extra berth on the team of 10, already selected as Olympic officials des- cribed themselves as pleased with the times recorded in the initial race with a field, of 12, The 24-year-old Dennie sped over the 1l-mile course in one hour, 15 minutes and 23 seconds. He smiled happily when told he had won and said he was satis- fied with his performance. Johnson, smiling good-natured- ly but appearing somewhat upset, said he felt confident of being able to better his time of 1:15:32 in next week's race. "he 27-year- old Canadian of Finnish descent, passed the most men on his run-- four, "I'm disappointed," he said. "I could have pushed myself more." Next week, a reverse. in starting positions will find Johnson as lead-off man. Harry Pangman of Montreal, Chairman of the Olympic Select- fon Committee, said that the elap- sed time for both Dennie and Johnson showed a difference of 10 seconds in Dennie"s favor at the half-way mark, While most of the starters -- including Dennie--feasted on a breakfast of steak cooked rare, Johnson ate eggs and insisted that diet had nothing to do with the result, "I'll continue to train on eggs and milk," he sald.
