by television were West's parents in Washington. They didn't real- ize their son had been badly hurt until it was announced he had been taken to a hospital. They flew to his side during the day.
Tagged with a straight right hand punch to the head as he moved backward, West fell flat on his back early in the seventh round of a scheduled 10. His head hit the ring canvas with a thump. Referee Harry Ebbets counted him out at 29 seconds of the seventh-the second time West has been stopped in 54 starts.
Dr. Vincent Nardlello, the New York state Athletic Commission doctor on duty, failed to revive the stricken boxer. He was taken to hospital.
The first operation starting just after midnight, lasted almost 2 1-2 hours. The second one lasted 30 minutes.
Although Mother Alice. hospital superintendent, announced his death at 3:10 p. m. Dr. Nardiello visited the boxe.r's room and told reporters 15 minutes later he was "sinking rapidly but is not dead yet."
Another bulletin at 5 p. to. re- ported the boxer was being kept alive only by artificial respiration.
Bassett, a strong puncher with 30 knockouts and 47 victories in 49 pro lights. came on strong after a slow start and swept the last five rounds.
Sonny Boy. loser of seven fights in 53 previous bouts was making his 15th appearance in 1950. His last fight before Bassett was a victory over Billy Justine at Bal- timore. Dec 4.

There certainly wasn't much to write home about in the Big Four cmtest between Islanders and Monc-
ton Hawks here on Wednesday night when the locals fired home five goals to their rivals' one. and didn't even extend themselves in doing it. It was the kind of game that, fortunately enough, hasn't been witnessed often in M. S. H. 1.. competiticn this season -- one of those affairs that took two periods to build up to one frame of good hockey. O O 0
Considering the handful of fans who were (11 hand to witness the contest, however. it is a wonder that the two squads exerted themselves as much as they did to give the some 700 fans present at least one good pericd of play. It must be pretty disheartening for two teams skating out to play a game of hoc- key for the cash customers and see row of empty seats everywhere they look. They are almost bound to react to the same disinterest that must have prevailed among the many fans who dldnlt turn out for the game.
0 O 0
Of course there is no doubt that the nearness of the festive season had a lot to do with the small turn- out, but certainly not to the extent that was in evidence Wednesday night. The fact that Mcncton has been in the cellar all season and have had seven losses in the last eight starts is the big reason for the falling off of attendance in games against the Hub city puck. sters.
O O O
The big issue is what is to be done about it. Game by game the attendances at Islanders-Moncton clashes have been noticeably dc- creusing until it finally reached an all-time low for the season here Wednesday night. Halifax and Saint John rinks and even Monc- ton themselves have been exper- iencing the same general trend. but with the smallest capacity rink in the circuit, the local club are the ones who are really behind the eight ball.
0 O O
The Islanders are a great hockey club. but the team management are T103 80111: to find it easy to make ends meet financially if they can only count on one good gate 5 week. They are the boys that are packing every rink in the Man. times, but are the biggest losers on gate receipts. If they have a poor nilzm they Can't make it up on the "983 game. because they haven't got the rink capacity.

There are about three ways of counteracting the situation, and at least one of them is going to have to be utilized if seeing good hoc- key is to continue here. One of (ham is that Moncton will either have to strengthen their roster up to rcasonable competitive calibre 01' dmll out of the picture alto- getlicr and let the three teams bat- tle it out. Moncton are now trail- mg the league leading Islanders by 31 points, a matter of 15 1-2 games which is only slightly less than half of the remaining games left to -be played in Hawks regular schedule.
Anoilh-er alternative would be for
Things will be a-popping here tonight at the Forum when the Charlottetown Islanders and Hall- fax Saint Mary's clash in what is expected to be the top game of the season thus far in Maritime Sen- ior Hockey League competition. Game time is scheduled for 9 o'- clock.
Battling to a 5-5 deadlock last night after 10 minutes of overtime play in a terrific game of hockey. the two teams will be carrying on frmi where they left off at Hall- fax last night. and the least that can he expected is action galore.
It will be a battle to the finish. arxl with both teams in high gear the game will be a must for local fans. So follow the crowd to the Forum where the two top teams in the league will be the centre of attraction in Big Four hockey circles tonight.
Small Crowd See Bruins Defeat Chicago
CHICAGO, Dec. 21-(AP)-The smallest Chicago Stadium crowd for a National Hockey League game in 15 years-8.297-sow Boston Bruins beat Chicago Black Hawks Ii-1 tonight.
The last time so sparse an assem- blage was in the 3'-indium for a Hawk game was Feb. 5, 1935 when only 7.476 turned C24:
Tonight's result lifted the reviv- ed Bruins to within two points of fourth-place Montreal and only
for the visiting team. In this way the smaller capacity rinks would figure in on the long and of the deal and would be a big help to the financial upkeep of the par- iicular clulbs most in need of it. For the purpose of clearer explan- ation. take a home and home game series between Islanders and Hal- ifax for example. I I U
Say the cut was ten per cent. in their visiting game here Halifax would be entitled to the revenue from about 300 fans on a 3000 gate, while at a return game at Halifax, Islanders Lake would be 600 on a 6000 crowd which is not unusual at the Halifax Forum dur- ing a clash between these two clubs. Certainly would make quite a difference, wouldn't it?
0 O 0
And last but not least, the final solution could rest in the hands of the fans themselves. This can be done by making up their minds to take the bitter with the sweet. in other words support the not-so- attraciive games the same as the better clashes. After all. they can't all be top notch encounters. but if the interest in the sport is there and you want to see the good games continuing. then you have to support the other games too. Remember. these teams de- pend on the patronage of the fans to operate. and if they don't get it -well. you know the answer-no hockey, and it is doubtful if any who have been attending this year's hockey regularly, want to see this happen-
