The rest of us were in the Christmas mood alright as points weren't worth a dime a dozen.

Despite the lack of high calibre players, eight senior teams and 10 junior teams have reported record attend- ance to date this season. The Quebec Senior Hockey Lea- gue which embraces five Quebec cities and towns, two American and one Ontario city, is currently led by the Montreal Royals, who cap- tured the Allan Cup in the 1946-47 season. Other teams in the loop are Ot- tawa, Sherbrooke, Valleyfield, Que- iec, Shawinigan Falls, Boston and New York. : Statistics as of Dec. 7 showed the Royals captured 18 of 23 games, ex- cluding two stalemates. They have a total of 33 points, six ahead of the Oitawa Senators and 'Sher- brooke St. Francis, who are tied for second-place. : Valleyiield Braves and Quebec Aces are tied for third with 22 points while Shawinigan Falls Cataracts follow four points behind in fourth position. The two Ameri- teams, Boston and New York are tied for the cellar spot with 13. The Junior Amateur Hockey As- sociation, which recently was spot- lighted when the league leading Quelkec Citadels were ordered to forfeit 13 games after one of their players was discovered using a false birth certificate, is made up of a northern and southern divi- sion. Each section has five teams. Montreal district has a total of five teams playing in the circuit, three in the northern section and two in the southern. Until last week the Quebec team led the southern section, but an order by the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association to forfeiture 13 games in which they had partici- pated with an over-age player dropped the (Quebecers into last lace. Montreal Nationale lead the south section' with 30 points while St. Hyacinthe follow in the runner up spot with 23 points. Ancther Montreal team, Royals lead the northern section with 33 points.

Fighter Fields had signed up to tackle the colored speed artist at the Detroit Olypmia, May 9, 1930. After the finish of 15 fast rounds suffering from optical illusi then he rushed to the dressing room --then got Harry under contract to fight. Soon after that they pick- ed a soft spot for him in his first appearance at the big Arena. The "soft spot" name was Dick Landig, and Dublinsky, unawed by Dick's record of consecutive victor- ies, tore after him at the first bell, and when the final gong rang end- ing a hectic bout, Dublinskl had made himself a home with local fans.

In fact, dur- ing Mastro's entire boxing career he had lost only two bouts by decision, the one to Dublinsky, and the other to Fidel La Barba. This all went to make Dublinsky look rather good on paper, and un- like most "paper boxers" Harry made good in the ring when turned loose.
