r \ -J id* J. :» â-º >- Sports-And One Thing ot Anothei By FRANK MANN HARRIS For the past couple of seasons most of the other National Hockey League clubs have been loudly lieefing about allegedly illegal tactics used by the Maple Leafs. So the other day a Toronto paper published some action- pictures taken during a Leaf s- Rangers game, clearly sliovving that the New Yorkers were using pre- cisely the same tactics lliat they, and the others, had been complaining •bout. * « * Just why the paper should have gfone to this trouble, we really cannot say. Any competent observer of hockey, as it is played today, knows right well that if ever the rules against illegal hooking and holding were strictly enforced they'd have to double the size of all the penalty- coops, and that most games would be largely played with an average of about three players a side on the ice. * m if What is really irkmg those other "Big League" teams, in our opinion, it the fact that the Leafs are con- siderably smoother in their use of tuck tactics, and don't get caught m the act as often as the clumsier ones. * « » There may be a reason for , this •tate of affairs ; or the "hook check" â€"which is simply ke^ng an oppon- tnt out of action under the guise of reaching for the puckâ€" was brought to its finest flower of perfection by •Happy" Day, now coach of the Maple Leafs. Playing on the . me team with men like Red Homer, King Clancy, Chuck Conacher and other rough-and ready operators, Day had the reputation of being an ex- ceptionally clean player. And while it is undoubtedly true that he never performed any great amount of bodily mayhem on his opponents, what he used to do to their morale !• something else again! * « * Deceivingly powerful â€" he had more strength in his arms than al: most any athlete we've ever knovv-n â€" Day could hook an enemy out of the gay, and keep him under restraint ng enough for a Leaf attack to get organized, so smoothly that, un- less you were specifically looking for It, you'd never notice what was being done. Too, the innocent expression pa his face when the maddened "hookee" took a swat at him â€" and â- 0 got himself penalized â€" was es- pecially maddening. He was a real artist at it, make no mistake about that; and while "Happy" was â€" and is â€" his generally accepted nickname, "Clarence the Clutch" was what some of his disgruntled opponents used to •all him. « * * But for all that, there's Utile doubt that there's far too much of this hooking and holding today, both in professional and amateur hockey, and tfiat it's doing a lot to spoil the game for spectators. Except in very rare instances, there's no occasion for a player to raise his slick higher than his waist; and if the officials would make the boys keep their tticks down where they belong, we'd fte a lot more hockey, and a lot less tf what resembles a "scrum" in Eng- tfsh rugger. ^ This is not a book-review culuinii, i. which is probably just as well, be- __^ tause we. generally get round to ^ reading a worth-while book any- _^ where from 3 to S years after it has gone out of print. Still, to all "^ th-iBtre fans who remember the *" great days of Montgomery and â- * Stone, we recommend â€" if you *• haven't already done so â€" reading '^ ROLLING STONE, in which Fred â- ^ Stone tells the story of his life in â- ^ a highly interesting manner. »"i-» « ♦ ♦ -»- Stone was probably one of the _... greatest natural athletes who ever I » lived. As good a judge as James w^ J. Corbett told him he was good tnough to be a champion boxer, but advised against it. He played basebajl well enough to be a big- leaguer had he so chosen; and could hold his own . li the best at trap- .« shooting, roping, rodeo work â€" < anyljhing, in fact, he had a notion of "^ ^ taking up. Nor does he tell of such "" .,. things in any way of self-praise, ^ limpjy as happenings along the J « way. _ * ♦ * •â-  H^B skating experience is of in- > terest to Canadians. He first tried that S'port hile on a visit to Tor- onto; â€" and didn't do so well at it. ^ Years later he had the notion of -f doing a figure skating act on the ^ atage, and set out to master the art; ''' and inside a few weeks had done •* 10 to an amazing extent, in fact T t' e act was one of the hits of the -r ihow. -». * « » r You sec, 7i'hal nobody had told ♦ Um was that the skates he Uicd in J. Toronto were of the hockey variety J,â€" with the long straight blades â€" ^••(2 that even Barbara Ann Scott or ^ Sonja Hcnie would have a hard time tutting many fancy figures on them! 4 " 4. "* And Plenty f "Lovt makes the world ^ found." * ''Yes, but it takes money "^Kuare it" ffo to Young Canada Carries On! â€" ^And such carryings-on! Some o£ the older folks may say. Still, it's lots of fun for the younger folks, and probably not any sillier-looking than the square- dance, the one-step or the Charleston appeared to oldsters of bygone eras. It's a scene from CANADA DANCES, the National Film Board picture illustrating what a great part dancing has played â€" and is still playing â€" in the development of our Nation's social life. Dancing's Fun for Young and Old "Victory Day, New Year's Eve or plain high spirits, whatever the occasion, if it makes you happy, tradition will get you. You'll dance." These are the opening words of David Catton, the commentator who speaks to you from the screen as the film "Canada Dances" un- winds before your eyes. "Canada Dances," a National Film Board production which will be seen ' â-  many -ural Ontario com- munities this winter, i« the story of dancing in Canada. In many re- spects, we in Canada are lucky, for with our divergent backgrounds we have inherited almost all known forms of the dance. Listen again to the commentator: "It doesn't matter how you dance, who you dance with or where you dance. Once you're in the mood, you'll dance I You don't have to learn. It's as easy as breathing. You shake your shoul' ders, beat your feet, link hands or arms â€" and let 'er rip." "In it's most perfect form, the dance becomes art. Ballet's rich- ness of color, music and precise movement is carefully thought out in advance â€" none of this spur of the moment stuff. For ballet, like the tribal dance from which it grew, expresses not only joy and cele- bration, but man's mystical beliefs, his hopes, his fears â€" his life." Canada Has Both There you have the extremes: the happy-go-lucky, informal and spirited dance, and the serious, sym- bolic ritual dance. In Canada we have tRem both. And the "in-be- tween" dances? We have an abun' dance of these too. In Canada's early days the no- madic Indians developed elaborate ritual dances for the purpose of imploring the spirits of rain and good hunting for food, the spirit of war for victory. Their prayers were Michael, One-Time King of Romania King Mihai (or Michael) of Ro- mania, who ab'ii.ated a few weeks ago, was born twenty-six years ago, son of Carol, who is now in exile in Portugal, and of Helen, who was a Greek princess; was educated in the palace in Bucharest, along with twelve commoners picked from vari- ous walks of life to be his com' panions, first came to the tlirone when he was not quite six years old; his father, Carol, had abdicated to pursue Lis life with Magda Lu- pescu. A regency ruled, and Mihai was left to his toys and pony^. When Mihai was nine Carol came back to the throne, displacing the boy. In the early days of the recent war young Mihai became king for the second time, wlie Carol fled again; The Nazis were now in effective control of Romania. In 1941 when the victorious Russians were driv- ing into Romania, Mihai locked up the pro-Nazi Premier in a vault and switched his nation to the Al- lied side. For eight days he actually was ruler; then the Russians took over, making him a figure-head one* more. He amused himself by reck- lessly fast drivir ; of automobiles and speedboats, almost tore the w'ngs off the light training plane in which he learned to fly because he insisted on simulating dive bomb- ing. Sonja Henie won the figure skat- ing champion.ship for Norwav in the 1928, 1932 and 1936 Winter" Olym- pics. the beat of tomtom and moccasined feet. . The early pioneers, both British and French, carried in their hearts j^ the traditions of the lands they left. In their settlements, after the hardships of the day were over, they joined hands in the steps and melodies of the reel, the jig, the quadrille and the passepied. Today these dances are as much alive as they were one hundred years ago. From Overseaa Later settlers, among them the Scandinavians, Finns, Ukrainians, Chinese, Dutch and Poles, also came to till C.-.nadian goil. They, too, brought their dances. Happy dances, rythmical, colorful and varied. All these dances flourish today in the countryside, and even in the industrial cities. But the industrial age, bringing with it the roar and speed of transportation, the whistle and shriek of factory, the chatter of machines, has produced yet another form of dancing, "jitterbugging." The dance of the cities is like life in the cities: it is tricky, nervous and fast. It is symbolic of the clat- ter of street cars, the jumping pulse of traffic lights, elevators, skyscra- pers, timeclocks, assembly lines and typewriters. They get the "city- slicker" in a grooveâ€" a groove that fits him for the dance he has come to know best. But â€" whatever the step, and wherever it is done, it is still danc- ing. And dancing, as "Canada Dances" points out, is as old a* man himself. One-Hand Driving A Serious Menace In the hue and cry after the var- ious hazards of motoring that ser- iously affect life and limb, little it said about one-hand driving. This is not meant facetiously. The haz- ard is a real one, says The Insur- ance Magazine. Modern cars steer so easily that there is a constant temptation to take one hand off the wheel, to drive with the other, perhaps even with but one or two fingers. Men- tal rela.xati^ accompanies this practice. Any sudden emergency, a blowout, a child dashing between parked cars, a sudden skid, finds the driver physically unprepared, unable to cope with the situation. Elementary, isn't it? Yet how many of us are completely free from criticism on this score? Both hands on the wheel, pleasel This Age "And what did you learn in Scripture lesson, dear?" asked mother.
