Maurice- (The Rocket) ontreal sportdom. What Babe Ruth and Christy Matthewson were to baseball; what Lionel Conacher, Red Grange and Jim Thorpe were to fqotball, the Rocket is to Montreal's vast hockey public, plus. That January night, Canadiens were playing one of bitterest rivals, the powerful Detroit Red Wings, and as an additional attraction, if one was needed, Richard the Rocket was to receive the award in recognition of being the Hockey Player of 1951, so sclected by and for an American magazine devoted to is primaril So it was, in reality, a Richard night, a Richard crowd, come to pay homage to an idol, But unbelievably, because of one spon- taneous sporting gesture the whole show was stolen by Richard's arch-enemy of the National League right-wing ice lanes, quiet, hard-shooting young Gordie Howe of the Wings, who just then was battling Richard tooth and nail for the N. It wasn't that Richard, unable to play because of injury, and clad in civvies, didn't get a great ovation when he stepped out on the rubber runway, while players of Red Wings and Canadiens stretched in a line across the ice pounded on the ice with their sticks to make their own contribution to the occasion. It wasn't that Mayor Houde, a master-craftsman of words in such events didn't speak with eloquence. All that went smoothly as per routine When the presentation was finished, and Richard had marched back to the promenade and was just about to disappear into the crowd, Howe suddenly skated away from his position, wheeled over, and called out, "Hey, Rocket!" When Richard turned, Howe doffed his glove extended his hand, and the two rivals for top goal-getting honors in the National Hockey League shook It was a sort of genuinely unrehearsed spontaneous gesture that caught the big crowd completely by surprise. Montreal crowds are appreciative of dramatic moments and color in sport, and they felt, rightly, that here was one of them. For a few seconds there was stunned silence. Then this erowd who had come to cheer the Rocket blasted out a thunderous roar that even exceeded the warmth with which Richard had been received, because this cheer was for an event unexpected. It was a cheer unrehearsed, and Before young Howe skated quietly back to his right wing position, a press photographer asked him to shake hands again with Richard, but Howe, no actor, had already contributed a sincere gesture, and was in no mood to add any studied theatrical touch and shook his head smilingly, And after that, he went on to score the Son that put him even with the ailing Richard. And the pro-Cana chard, is the idol of L. scoring lead. en crowd cheered Although our personal angling $s pretty much confined to the fsh and chip shops and St. Law- tence Market, what with the trout senson just about to open, there doesn't seem any reason why we shouldn't devote a bit of space to the sport piscatorial. And, speak- Ing of St. Lawrence Market--To- gonto--we might as well tell about a really funny incident that occur- red down there. * * * Sid Perkins is the name of a very large sea-food stand down there and overhead is a large sign reading "IF IT SWIMS WE SELL IT." One afternoon a gentleman, slightly bemused by the grape, stood reading the sign. "Does that thing mean what it says?" he demanded of the pro- prietor, "It certainly does," replied the latter. * . * "O.K." said the inebriated one, "Just bring me Esther Williams." * » * According to Bob Turnbull, who should-know what he writes about, our Department of Lands and For- ests is considering some changes in the legal lengths for game. fish -mT: and in the method of determining sald lengths. * * * As things stand now it is pro- per to measure a"fish from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail fork. What they are consider- ing now is the adoption of a new method to measure from the tip of the nose (jaws closed) to the tip of the tail, with the lobes of the latter held together to give the maximum strength, * * . Legal length limits might then become 11 inches (now 10) for smallmouth and largemouth bass; 15 inches (now 13) for walleyes; 32 inches (now 30) for muskies; trout--speckled, brown, rainbow .and Aurora--to remain at 7 inches, since these have more or less square tails. Kamloops, a spring spawner, now also 7 inches, may be raised to 12. +l * * * Most anglers will applaud such changes. In Otnario we have been over-generous fo the angler in the foregoing respects. Many would like to see trout raised to 9 or 10 inches, bass to 12, for anything under these sizes isn't worth keep- Z ~ TEST YOUR INTELLIGENCE Score 10 points for each correct answer in the first six questions: 1.

Question is: Which rider is most amused, The park project Is aimed at keeping dogs off the city's streets. ing, but for the moment we're happy to sce a step in the right direction being considered. * : * * * There are said to be something like 15 million fresh water fisher- men on this continent--and most of them are "rarin' to go." Some of course, being bass, pike and muskie specialists merely marking time on the trout stream, much to the disgust of the brook, brown and rainbow brotherhood, who complain that they would be able to enjoy more solitude and less competition if the "outsiders" could be eliminated. * * LJ] The others retaliate by pointing out that they would be able to get better results from their min- nows and worms if the fly fisher-, men were not moving up and down the streams swishing flies, to the peril of the eyes, ears and noses of contemplative anglers. * * . High, cold and discolored waters provide normal conditions for the early anglers, and while they exer- cise their prerogative by complain- ing and by mouthing loud vows to remain at home on next year's opening, there is an increase rather than a diminution in their numbers from year to year. Anglers, like taxes, are on the increase. In view of the expanding fishing pressure, many conservation agencies have abandoned all hope of providing enough trout to keep their 'legions happy, and are content if they can stock enough fish to provide token sport. * * ': Anglers are convinced, and some ichthyologists back them up, that trout do not begin active feeding until the water temperatures hover in the late 50's, and as opening day temperatures usually linger in the very early 40's, the results usually conform to the theories. This argument will be settled in the reasonably near future, for scien- tists of the University of Califor- nia are doing research on the matter, . . The scientists expect. to find out what happens in streams during the cold-water periods, what fish eat, if anything, during this period and. what insects are available in the watery larder at this time. In addition to settling the cold-water- feeding dispute, the survey should be able to work out a means of regulating the insect populations of streams, thus préviding madre food for the fish, and, of equal importance, more fish for the an glers. * hg » The spring freshets of the past two seasons have done consider able harm to the insect life in a number of popular trout streams. The scouring of the stream bed, the movement of rocks and the deposits of silt, have resulted in the decrease of great numbers of insects that provide food for trout and inspiration for fly fishermen. With the destruction of these in- sects in the larval and pupal forms, the insect population of a stream can be affected for several years. Trout lost through such freshets can be replaced, but the restocking of insects is quite a problem. * * * : This problem was partially 'solv: ° ed by a small group of Pennsyl vania anglers a few years ago. although in the process of. this activity passing motorists were convinced they were in close pro: ximity to a group of escaped luna: tics. When one of the small trout streams suffered from lack of in sect life, the group made some crude "butterfly" nets, converged on a nearby stream with abundant insect life, and gathered thousands of flies. The insects were impris. oned in closed trucks, transported to the fly-barren stream, and re- leased there. The results, in a few years, were reported to be highly eatisfactory.

He swallowed cyanide and died 15 minutes after sentence was pronounced. That was in 1904. Today the auctioneer's men are - swarming over Whitaker's Folly, cataloguing the contents for auc- tion. The present owner, Sir John Leigh, can't afford to keep the 77 servants Whitaker planned on, Whitaker Wright was a big man in financial circles in the 1890's-- all 250 pounds of him.

If it weren't for Wright's Folly, his name would be all but for- gotten now.

' Today that text is shortened by many: It becomes: "Fér what is a man profited?" The interest is in the profit, The sou] seems forgotten, or perhaps just placed in a deep freeze. The idea is that expendables are expen- dable. Success is reckoned in material | things: in money, or social position or political power, or even in her- edity. "He comes of a good family --a very good family," is often heard. The idea is to get "up there" by whatever means and to stay "up there" by whatever means. Indoctrination begins early. Col- lege athletics often become semi- professiommal at the best. The em- phasis is on winning--on having the best team and most famous coach --and there is no subterfuge which is not attempted toward this end. The fever has even spread to the high schools. Nor are sports the only activity affected. The educa- tional system -- from a student standpoint--is frequently a system of getting by, not of knowledge. The young follow the bad example of their elders. While this is going on, the good citizen and the good neighbor lives his -life, hardly noficed except by those who appreciate his worth, and they are few in the scheme of world ballyhoo. Good deeds do not shine far, Honesty, honor, kindness and integrity go unrecognized when the tabulation for success 1c made. 3 The Washington scandals shock ed the nation. But they did not occur overnight. They took root as moral fabric decayed. They flourished in the favorable atmos- phere of "what's wrong with that?" and "everybody's doing it." And the indignation which greeted the disclosure of corruption will not produce reforms unless there is also.a moral regeneration. "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" The answer is the same as it was two millennia ago and as simple.
