No Christmas In Soviet Russia’

MOSCOW, Dec. 23.—-(C.P.)-—Sov- let Russia will ignore Christmas Day this year, just as it has dur- ing tile l4 other that have passed since the October Revolution. In this country-where Christmas is outlawed-the day will have noth- ing of the holiday spirit and relig- ious significance associated with it e‘sewhere.

For more Russians, December 25 never had any significance. The Greek Orthodox Christmas fell on January 7, which was the date gen- erally observed during the Czarlst (lays.

The "LivinglChurch," a small offshoot of the old Orthodox relig- ion, adopted the new calendar, however, and celebrated December 25 as the Day of the Nativity.

’l‘lie few remaining members of

this, church still observe the day lby attending religious services in lthe few edifices left to them. l A few others-mostly old per- sons, belonging to the Orthodox _Ll|ilh-—observc Christmas orl Jan- uary 7th. I

'i'lic ilncbliipremising nntl-re‘igi- ous altitude of the Communist par- ly and the activities of the all-Un- ion Atheist Society have served to root out the religious instincts of all save the most ardent followers of the church.

So successful has been this cam-

lnilgcr" considers it necessary to make eounter-demonstrations in an effort to prevent‘ people from ob- serving Christmas and other religi- ous holidays in- tlic churches.

preciateci and that no inaticr how well they stand in the league. they are bound to displcase. No player can be expected to dn his best while such n state of affairs exists and all right-thinking hockey flins should realize that whoie-heitried support and ctr-operation is going io go much farther toward sending the club up front in the race to a cham- pionship than this petty bickering which is throwing things into a turmoil."

over Charlottetown Abegweits and renewed hope for Maritime hockey league honors. The ,Wolverincs, who flopped badlyat the opening of the league, now have 8 points to their credit. Moncton Hawks are leading with 12, and Abegweits have 10. Shields netted the only score of the game after Lennon had shot and Bubar had blocked the rubber and came out of his net to fall on the disc. Shields went right in, dug

and carried it into the cage. Defensive Hockey As a game of hockey it was good

much of the “Kitty-bar-the-door" type of hockey to please the fans, while both teams missed golden scoring chances by‘ erratic work while in close to the goalies.

The Halifax defence of Frankie Lavigne and Frankie Graham was so strong that the Abbies were able to get close onvery few occasions. Sergeant had only seventeen shots to stop during the entire sixty min- utes. The Abbies fought hard to

‘ get in close, but they were unable

to wiggle past the two “Frankies,” except on rare mansions. When they did Sergeant ‘managed to get in the way.

Mickey lilfcGlashenlwas the pivot of“ most of the Wolverintasorties. playinghls best game of. the sca- son. 'He was in on top of Bubar on many occasions, but was unable to beat the cagey “Daddy?

Altogether there were sixteen penalties. There was little rough work, although both defences‘ play- ed hockey of the‘ bruising type.

Several times the Wolverines caught the Abegweits with only four players on the ice, but the Island- ers were good defenders. The Ab- bies had their turn, catching the Wolverines with two men in the penalty box on two occasions, but were ilnable to do much about it.

“The Count"

Shields’ goal resulted from hard work and a fighting spirit that has characterized Reg s type of play since the schedule opened. Lennon went in close to Bubar and blazed in a fast shot that Bubar stopped. The rubber bounded out a few feet and Bubar slid out and fell on top of the rubber. Shields tore in, dug away and finally hauled the disc from under “Daddy? He had only a few inches to fling the rubber be- fore lt hit the meshes.

A Close Abbie Score

The Abcgweits nearly scored early in the first period when a hard shot got away fl‘0ll1 goalie Sargcrint and laid on the goal-line. Sargeant brushed it‘ away, but it was a close one.

Sargeant Lucky

Sargcant was lucky on a couple

in close, early in the first period, and tossed away golden opportun- ities by hurried mid erratic shoot- ing. Then the Kennedy brothers missed a few good chances with shots that Just missed the posts.

‘On several occasions Bubnr was

Mickey McGlashen, Owen Len- non, Reg Shields and the Kennedy brothers were the pick of the local forwards. with Mosher and Fergu- son turning in nice plays. The Graliam-Lavignc defence was steady both in blocking and bodying. Ron- ald Hudson was the Abcgiveit star. He also took most of the bumps.
