Georgetown 7 Montague 3

Intermediate hockey stole the spotlight in the Kings County capl- tal on Monday night as the local Eagles plastered a 7-3 defeat on a. fighting team of Montague Ogal vies. The game, the first of the season was surprisingly fast and rugged and gave indications of the high calibre of competition to be expected between these two teams during the season. Both teams pre- sented many familiar faces in their lineups and some new ones to in- termediate hockey and both seem- ed strong in all departments, block- ing, rushing and skating both ways for the full sixty minutes.

With the players who performed on that occasion now at their best fomi and wltlh the recent addition of Art.

The team lias been showing line fonm in reccnt workouts and although Coach Lawlor is noncommlttal cn their chances it is easily seen that he considers his team's chances fur more brighter.

Game In S’side League

The Summersidc Legionaircs won their second straight game of the Summersirlc 'l‘owi1 League last night, taking the R. c. A. F, m. try by the scale of 8 to 4. Though outplayed throughout most of‘ thc game, the Airmen served notice that thcy will bc very much in the contention when they are fortified with more practice. A bit slow to break, thcy showed some nice stlrkhandiing ability and some last ditch poke checking that dis- rupted some smooth three-man forays on lhe part of the Legion boys, whose plays were clicking much better than was the case ill their tilt with the Dodgers.

Crawford in the Air Force nets put up a spectacular display and held the fort for the Flyers a; times when their defence wob- bled badly.

The ice was good and both teams set a torrid pace in the first two periods but showed signs of exhaustion in the final frame.

Don Davis, with a goal and three assists, and some redoubtable-de- fenslve work, won the "Maurice Mill" award for the outstanding player on the Legionaries. Joe ifello was the judge's choiceon the Air Force sextet and gained the "Sheen and ltfcIunis" award.

Tandberg Ready To Fight Any Yank Heavyweight

NEW YORK. Jan. 6 — (AP) — Olle Taxidberg. the towering Swede who fights Cleveland's Joey Maxim in Madison Square Garden Friday night, says he is willing t0 meet any and. all American heavy- weights, including Joe Louis.

"Yah, I like to fight anybody," the six-foot, three-inch, 206-pound Stockholm heavyweight smilingly told a press conference at the 20th Century Sporting Club here.

Asked if he thought he could beat Louis. the amiable Swede re- plied with a wide grin, "well, I can try, can't I?"

He said, in reply to another quea- tion, that he'd like to meet Jer- sey Joe Walcott, too.

Tandiberg, who speak: c limit- ed amount of English, said through his manager that he was misquot- ed recently about Louis. He de- nied ever saying he didn't want. to meet the world's champion.

Tandberg and Maxim met here for the first time yesterday and both came off with honors as a physician for the New York State Athletic Commission pronounced them in "very good" physical con- dltion.

The Swede, who gained interna- tional prominencc by outpoixitlng Joe Baksi in Stockholm last sum- mer, towered over Maxim during an examination by Dr. Vincent Nardiello. Maxim weighs 180 and stands six feet, one-half inch.

Dr. Nardiello said Tandberg was a "bit nervous” and his blood pressure slightly higher than Max- im's. The physician explained, however, that "Tandberg natural- ly was a little excited" as this was his first American professional venture in fisticuffs.

Thinks Babs Lack Former Dash, Elan

NEW YORK. Jan 5 — (GP) — The question going the rounds in New York's hockey row these days is whether or not Montreal's Na- tional Hockey League Canadians have been shorn of their former dash and elan.

The situation was brought up following an article in the Janu- ary edition of the magazine 48. written by a man who should know what he's talking about — John Kleran, for many years a sports columnist with the New York Times.

Kicran says that. in his opinion, after a score of years as a rink- slder watching hockey in big lea- gue circles. hockey is a game best played with "much elan and a French-Canadian accent."

“Always, I have been a rooter for the Montreal Canadiens, the famous Habitants, and I regret to report a change in their lineup that is not for the better as I view it." said Kieran. "I remember when the roster of the Flying Frenchmen implied that the dash- ing team came by its nickname through honest heritage.

"Once upon a time there was a stanley Cup line-up of Les Can- adiens that included Sylvie Man- tha, Armand Mondou. Pit Lepine, "Al-bear" (Battleship) Leduc. Wildor Larochellc. Aurel Jolie-t. Johnny Gagnon and Howie Mor-

ens."

". . . now consider tho situa- tion.” protects Kelran. "I see that the ‘l-Iabltants include such play- ers as Bill Durnan. Kenny Rear- don . . all this is not in the tra- dition to which I was socusifl" ‘ and I wish to file a prote=t some bureau de reclamation.’

Keir-an concedes that the trm tional speed of the Canadians ha not decreased to any not." “lc extent with the change of th~ . ~ r-t ecm- on the roster.
