everything for a. coach like Cecil Hart.

“I've been pretty lucky at that. I've been in this League longer than anyone ever has. But I remember the day when the defencemen never hit me. Now they bowl me over and don't bother looking to see if I've gone right through the ice."

Joliat still fits into the Canadlen picture and mm Cecil Hart's plans. ()1 a. recent night lie scored his team's only two goals and he still can pivot on a. dime and lay down a pass that's easy to take. When playoff times comes they'll place careful scrutiny over the danger- dealing wingmun-"pesky" they call him.

It seemed out of place to ask him the hsckneyed question about car- eer limelights, but Joliat seldom talks as long as he talked today. This time he had to think twice.

“I guess I got as big a kick out of my first full year as out of any- thing. That was 1923-24 and Cam.- diens went all the way to the Stan- ley Cup-—the hard way. We had to beat Ottawa, then Vancouver and finally Calgary." _

That was a good year, even com- pared wlth 1933-34 when Joliat won the Hart; Trophy as most valuable player in the league.

"Just a minute-that's not right either", he paused. "I'll tell you the biggest thrill I ever got out of hoc- key. It was when Cunadlens brought Cecil Hurt back as coach last year and bought Howie Morenz back from New York. That put us right back in the league and I felt-like a kin again. Say, if Howie hadn't. died we'd have won the Stanley Cup last year-he was s. great Howie."

There was going to be no turn ng back now that he had mace up his mind.

"Now this is the last; season. Say it any way you like but it's definite to me." ,

Drillon To Be Honoured At Came Tonight

(C.P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

MONTREAL, Jan. 7-It,will be Gordon Drillon night 1n Toronto tomorrow when the Maple Leafs meet New York Rangers 1n one of the National Hockey Ieagus two scheduled games.

Maritime friends of the high scoring forward who used to play for Moncton Juniors have arranged a presentation and close to 400 Ions from the Eastern Provinces are ex- pected to attend- the game.

And Drillon will b e the man Rangers will have to watch. A star last year when he broke into ma- jor league hockey, Drillon 1s again showing his worth and at present holds a comfortable lead at the top of all league scorers.

In tomorrow's other game Cana- diens will entertain the powerful Boston Bruins. The Montrealers haven/t dropped a game to Boston‘ this season, but will have no easy time holding the rampant Bruins scorers in check.

Canadiens can climb into a sec- o11d place tie with New York Am- erlcans, one point behind Leafs. by winning, while a Ranger victory would help the Blueshirts 1n their chase after Boston.

Rangers return to action Sunday in a game in New York against Detroit. Maroons and Chicago are drawn in thevonly other game of the night.

Canadiens and Leafs were orig- inally scheduled for two games in successive days this weekend. The Habitants were to have gone to Detroit Sunday and the Leafs were to have played back against Ran- gers in New York.

Sonja l-leinie's appearance in Detroit Olympia caused a re-ar- rangement. the Detroit-Canadian and Toronto-Ranger games being postponed to Feb. 6 while the De- trait-Ranger game of that date was moved up to Sunday. i

By EDDIE BRIETZ Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 7—Fred Apo-

stoli, former San Francisco bell hop proved his right to be called the No. 1 challenger for Freddie Steel's middleweight crown by stopping the champion in the ninth round of their iii-round non-title bout in Madison Square Garden.

Referee Arthur Donovan stop- ped the fight to save a bleeding, battered and dazed Steele from further punishment. Weights were 158 3-4 for Steele and 161 1-2 for Arpostoli.

Steele was badly ivhlpped and virtually out on his feet when Donovan called a halt 54 seconds" after the start of the ninth.

The champions finish came a5 the climax of a dramatic and ex- traordinary series of developments in the seventh round. Steele was bowled off his feet at the outset of this round by Apostolfs rush, then given the benefit of approximately a IO-second rest, after claiming foul from a terrific hook to the groin.

No fouls are recognized under the New_York State boxing regu- lations. but Donovan exercised his own judgment in calling a brief

halt to thc proceedings while Steele writhed in apparent pain. Under the circumstances many

ringsiders thought that the rules called for Donovan to start a count, without. l'(f"ll'(l to the effect of the low blow. but the referee gave‘ the champion the benefit of the doubt instead, before the fight continued.

Both judges, Charley Lytnch and Marty Monroe, agreed with Dono- vans judgment, but the unortho- dox proceeding caused howls of protest from the orowd besides provoking arguments among thc rindsiders.

It was described‘ as an unprece- dented occurrence by Brig-Gen. John J. Phelan, chairman of the New York State Athletic Commis- sion. Donovan said he acted within his discretion in giving the obviously injured Steele a brief respite.
