Unable to do anything wrong and led by u dyuairuie packed forward

ridge, the city teiun were never in very great danger oi losing the encounter and had it not been for some erratic work around the Air Force net, pus scusafiorlal gouling by (iilllgzin they might have riurl the scores into much higher figures. o - o 0

llowevor one important isct must be token into consideration in re- gards to the big score the Y team ran up against the airmen. The‘ Air Force lust night were minus! four of their key players due to; Christina“ leaves and men taking‘ exams snd this forced several changes in their lineup that despite the courrveous efforts put forth by the replacements weakened the team considerabfy.

The sbovs is not any sttomptl bent

to ofisr on siibi for the defeat sui- isred by the Airmen after predict- ing s close game. It is the plain, unadomed truth and had the lir-

men been able '.0 zce a syrong team t m“! mflde no mistake. A minute

last niizht than the Y team, goodj ls they loolzeti would have had s.‘ much tougher battle on their’ hands.

But won though tho ocors was rather lopsided the small crowd oi fans in attendance saw the two teams wage s good battle. Y had to work their hsr est for oil nine‘ counter, while sev 1 times it wss only a. matter oi having "Indy Luck” on their side that held the, losers down to two. goais.

O l I

Pud Whitlock, centering the; second line oi the winners had u‘ tough job finding the net all night. In fact "Pud" didn't find it. At tho some time however he was one ot tho trickiest players on the ice. Time after time he was right in on top of the Air Force goalie but, each time he either missed out or Gilligan was "JOhnny-on-the-apot."

Not so many years book this some player was "poison" to goalies when on close. But evidently the pnssing your; are starting to take their toll but at that once

Suddenly he turned to 5st. W. I‘. Aldcom oi Gouveneur, Sash, s member oil’ Sqdm. Ldr. J. C. (Knob- by) Fees Ermine-Busters, and said: "How long is it since you have been swimming?”

Aldcom thought deeply calculat- "About three months, sir," he sat .

sounded straune coming from onef

Tunncv will continue to harp on that. subject. He wasn't popular as l. xvord champion and never made any attempt to be. In some respects he seemed to go out of his way to arouse disirtvor with the fans. On the whole he succeeded.

During his recent speech to the Touchdown Club, Tunney loft ‘him- self wide open when he sought to unphasire his arguments against competitive athletics by saying: "The British. who never give up (in war), never played football They p‘ny sports, but not much. Whisky-tirinicing, c i g a r-smoklng Churchill never plnveri a game in his life except bridrze for high stakes, and the‘ stock market."
