CAYM TTEMi OWAVlE.OT TMrUSDAY, PB I,15 SPORT NOTES By Doug Glyna The tumult and the shoutng of last Tuesday has died, for the moment anyway, but its echo stili rings in the ears of sports fans hereabouts. And if last Tuesday's kickoff to our Centennial Year cele- brations Is any indication o! what lies ahead - then'1958 wiIl be an outstanding and memorable year ini the sports history of Baw- inanville. HOSPITALITY PLUS Our American visitars were treated to Bownmnville hospi- tality plus during their stay. Something their future hasts will have ta go a long way ta equal. As a reporter, we were- fortunate in attending all the events held in their honour. The luncheon at the Ontario Training School started things rolling. Dr. Dymond was an excellent host and the dinner was xnost deliclous. The Training School staff did a fine job o! mak- ing the Yanks "feel at home" and answered ail their questions in a most obliging manner. COLOTJRFUL EVENT Norm Scott's banquet In the evening befare the gamne was one o! the mast colourful sports dinners we have ever attcnded. It was a fine community gesture on Mr. Scott's part, and wc would like ta congratulate him on showing such excellent hospitality. Also for his interest and support o! a local sports event. Walt DeGeer excelled as MC for the occasion. He also paid deserving credit, ta Bowmanville-Orono Combines Coach Jim "Ticker" Crombie, for arranging this event for Bowmanvihle in its Centennial Year. A SWELL JOB Ticker did a great deal af behind the scenes work ta arrange this initial Centennial Sports event and we too wouhd like ta give him some of the credit deserved. He worked since last October or earlier ta bring the U.S. team here for the game. Their appearance here was directly due ta his tireless efforts. He has made a great contribution ta sports in Bowman- ville, not only in hockey, but also in baseball. It's men like this *ho provide good sports for a town. But, it takes good fan support to keep thema alive. THE BEST VET The game itself was ta aur way o! thlnklng - one of the best we have ever seen at the local ice palace. We have already expressed aur views concerning Olympie rules, in a previaus column. Tuesday night's game only confirmed those views. We think the game was faster, a better class o! hockey, and brought to light the ability of many of our local players as far as stick- hand]ing and skating are concerned. After the game, the phayers, sports writcrs and ather visitars were guests at a luncheon at the Legion. This was the highlight of an excellent day, and it toppeci everything off pcrfectly. AN HONOUR Our greatest pleasure af the day was lI meeting W. A. Hewitt, better known as Mr. Hockey. This well-inforrned, glow- ln--eyed young man of 82, held us ta an hour-long conversation et the Legion. During which time he gave us a detaileci account cf the three trips he had made ta Europe as the coach of Canadian Olympic Hockey Teanis. The most remarkable thing about Mr. Hewitt is his phenoni- mnal mecnory. George Dulmage, sparts editor of the Tcly, had pointed this out ta us even before we had the pleasure ta speak ta Mr. Hewitt. Talking with him aonly further convinced us of the tact. WILL HISTORY REPEAT? From what wc learned, Mr. Hewltt has nxany mnultlcolaured memories of great and near great sparts events. He told us about the final game of thc World Championships near Italy inx 1920. <'We.uzere playing the Americans in the finals that year," he said. "Ada*lot of the American troapsoan occupation duty in Europe were over ta see the game." "The Yanks were doing same heavy betting on their teamn, because it hadc cme along an unbeaten path ta reach the playoiis. Well we werc leading 2-0 with only a minute ta go and ane of their star forwards got a breakaway and fired a bard shot at an almost open corner. Our goalie stretched way out and deilected1 It with the top ai his hand ta retain the shutaut," he sai&. OUCH, MY FINGERJ "No ane knew it at thc Urne," he said, "but that lad broke his finger when hc stopped that sbat". Mr. Hewitt's detailed dlescription o! that game played some 38 years ago, was as clear ta us as though we were. watching it. That's what we mean wbcn we say his memory is uncanny. This man wha bas devoted most of his lufe to sparts, and prima rily ta making hockey what it Is today in Canada, Is anc of the mast colourful and interesting personalities we have ever had the privilege to meet. SHOULD USE THEM Raye West told us he thought the Yanks were a good club. "lThose Olympie rules are good ta play under," be said, "we should tise them all the time." We agreed. Don Clark, manager o! thc U.S. team said Combines were a gaod club. "But," he said, "we are accustomed ta a larger ice surface. Our club cauldn't seem ta get rolling on that small rink." We asked who he thought was the taughcst campetition bis club had met ta date in their tour. "Whitby Dunlaps," he said.
