Moncton Hawks Close To Islanders With 5-2 Win Over St. Mary's

.MONCTON. N. B.. Dec. 11- (CP)-Monctcn Hawks climbed to within two points of second-place Charlottetown Islanders tonight by defeating Halifax St. Mary's 7&2 in a Maritime Major Hockey League game.

A-Marcel Clements with two goals led the scoring for the winners. Other Moncton goals were scored by Merrie Hamilton. George Scholes and Danny l-Iorcck.

Bob Drainville and Gordie Pear- son were the St. Mary's marks- men.

-Iliawks again proved to their Moncton fans that they are a strong third period club by rap- Jlng in four goals in the final Tame while holding the visitors 0 a single tally.

The game was a free wheeling tlfair all the way. Only four pen- ulties were called. and most of he way it was it goalkeepers (ante. with both net custodians icrforming brilliantly.

,Don Locklinrt in the Moncton age had the greater number of shots. turning aside 26. compared

with 21. handled by Larry Fre- chette for the Saints. After a scoreless first period.

Morric Hamilton opened the scor- ifig 44 seconds after the second opened when he banged in Stan Milne's pass.

Brutality has been reduced to i minor degree in present day box- ing, but it is yet far from being reduced to the status of ping-pong or indoor tennis. It is certainly no sport for "willy boys" or namby- pa.mby.s." it is cave-man stuff- abyssmal-the "survival of the fit- test."

The predicament of standing up before on opponent. and endeav- aring to establish superiorityhipwthe 'manly art," makes one think of the state of desperation in the minds of those who face one ano- ther ln a. modern battle of men armed with deadly weapons.

The feelings experienced ought to create an abhorrence of all lethal wars. it was evidently the philosophy of Burke Corcoran, a prominent figure in American politics in the 19th century when he said "down with their wars and preparations for wars: don't they fight it our with lists?"

It would be reasonable to deduce that most all grcat military com-' manders must have that indomit- able spirit exemplified by boxers in the "squared circle,” but few of them are endowed by nature with the necessary physical attributes to attain championship in the rough diversion. The great "Fath- i-:- of his country" - "First in war and first in peace. and first in the hearts of his countrymeii." was no mean artist with his fists in Lf3.'l defence and offence. in the old bare knuckle days of boxing in Virginia.

The much beloved "lizc" Eisen- '".0Wer gloriously upheld the hon- -ir of his home town-Abilene, Tex- as, against 3 young-mouthed blow- riard boxer, in his early youth-be' fore attending military academy at West Point, New York. Many amateur and professional boxers did heroic acts in the two Great Wars.

I think it was the Duke of Well- ington who said. "The Napoleonic War was won on the playing fields of Eton College." The same senti- ment could be expressed-in a, dif- ferent war, in reference to the her- nic efforts of our Canadian boys on many battle fields. The spirit of supremacy in contest is developed to-ii high degree on thousands of hockey arenas in Canada.

It is I matter of general know- ledge that Great Britain, the Un- ited states of America, and the Dominion of Canada are the prin- cipal exponents and Apostles of Pepce between Nations-It may be any ii. coincidence that they are also the principal patrons and pro- motor! of the strenuous sport .....D..:..D..gB.gg,g

the two instructors held sessions throughout the day and all of them were most interesting. There were countless things discussed. as a matter of fact so many things that one mind would not fully grasp them all. In addit- ion thcre were personal stories. and they were the stories behind

the stories, which delighted the listeners and gave them an in- sight into the roaches and ref-

crces lives. . This is the fourth time that l 9 school has been held and it is too bad that every h0:kty fan in the Province could not sit in on at least one srssion. It would have been a good thing if the referees

in the M. M. H. L. could have had the time to listen to George liryes on his intcrpietatvuii of

Germany had it fair representative. -for a short time-in the person: of Max Schmelling, who had 9. very astute American manager,l Joe Jacobs. Joe made him win the: heavyweight championship lying prostrate on the floor-claiming lfoul-from Jack Sharkey. He did beat Joe Louis before Joe sot wisei lto holding his left arm high enough to protect his left jaw from it quick right. Hitler took advan- tage of the incident. to proclaim lthe superiority of the l-lerrenvolk, ibut Franklin Roosevelt called Joe Louis in for a little talk before -their last fight.

It Was common knowledge that Joe had poor protection for a quick "right.

When it was palpably evident that 9. con- testant was outclassed and taking needless punishment, the referee stopped the bout.

The result of this has attracted to boxing 3 better type of man than used to enter the prize fight game fifty years ago or more. Perhaps it would be fairer to say that most of the men who get to the top level in boxing are of a better class than most of the old timers and that the others are taught and acquire the funds- mentals of sportsmanship,

A boy who robbed oil of mustard on his gloves. or blew red pepper in his opponents eyes or who gauged or hit an opponent-all of which happened in the old dIys- would be ruled out of every ring in the country.

George llayes believes that the rc-'crecing system whereby a ref- eree and two lincsmen are used is the best. This system is used in the National Hockey League and in the Quebec Major League. By it the linesmen blow clown tne off-sides and break up any fights while the referee blows down any other play infractions and hand out penalties. George does not care so much about the sys- tem of two referees, which we have here, or the system by which is referee and a linesnian are used. such as in the American

Hockey League. .

There were many things which Mr. Hayes brought out in his dis- cussions. One ot them is that the position of the skates determine whether or not a man is off-side. Others concerned icing the puck and these were among the most interesting questions at the school. A puck can be shot over the red line at centre ice and if it goes over the red line at the end of the rink there are certain condit- ions under which the play is still onside. A goalie should be given a penalty if he slashes a player with his stick regardless of wheth- cr or not the player is sianding in

the g0:1iie's crease. .

From early morning until late last night the 30 or more candid- ates attending the Hockey Coaches and Referees School here were busy men as they absorbed and digested asteady diet of hockey rules and skills from instructors George Hayes and Leo Lamoureux.

The candidates at the Depart- ment of Physical Fitness sponsor- ed school received instructions on many of the fundamental points as well as on the more delicate phases of hockey. The instructors made their instruction periods all the more interesting by recounting some of their own or somcbcdv else's personal experiences in various sit- uzittons.

For the third straight year Mr Hayes has been conducting the school and last night many of those who had attended the school since its orieln here four years a".n. were acclaimiiig this one as the best yet.
