TWO GREAT VICTORY strings were snapped the other night and both had belonged to Saint Francis Xavier University of Antigonish. / . .

In hockey last Saturday night. Dalhouius Tigers handed the maverians a 4-2 setback. In fifty-four previous games, St. F.X. had amassed 50 wins and four ties on the icelanes. Their last loss was back on February 14, 1955 when Fred Kelly’s Acadia Axeunen toppled them 5-3 in

For a time Saturday the Antlgonrish scholars looked as their unbeaten string was going to main intact. All-ter trail- ing 20 at the end of the first period, the Xmen roared back in the middle frame to skate off at the end of the sandwich session tied at 22. But mm was all they had. They couldn’t give an answer to Tigers’ two third period tallies.

ON THE BASKETBALL COURT, the same kind of a story was being written. St. Mary's came up with a stunning upset, downing the mighty Xaverians 59-48. It was (the first defeat for a St. F.X. hoop team in five years of play. Earlier last week, Saint Mary’s came close, losing 6300 in overtime at Antigonish. This time, with solid can support on their home floor, the San-

tamari-ans were not to be denied. Now that Saint Mary's and Dal»

.housia have shown that it can be dome, other colleges can take heart. And the chances are they will do just that.

WE THINK it's a good thing for unexpollegiate sport to see such upSets occurring. We certainly are not anti-St. F.x. but we don‘t like to see the other colleges merely going through the motions when they face the Antigonisbers. This has been just about what it amounted to the last few years.

However, you can’t lay the blame on the Xnverians. This great educational institution has always been to the fore in athletics as well as education. They are to be highly commended for their aggressiveness in coming up with such outstanding teams. These defeats will not make the lads from Antigonia‘n easier from here on. In fact. they’ll work like trojans to immediately start a new skein of victories in basketball and hockey that will equal the records that have just been broken.

SAINT MARY’S has a small student body and the fact that they could come up with an outfit that could whip St. F.X. on the basketball floor. should serve to .make the other small colleges work hard at their athletic tasks.

Back in the mid-forties, a Saint Dunstan's University hockey team showed that a small college can produce a great hockey team. That was the time that Joe Mahar led the Red and White to a Maritime intercollegiate hockey crown over a powerful and strongly favoured St. Francis Xavier outfit. That was the time that practically nobody gave the locals a chance against the Nova Scotlans and yet they sloated away with an 8-6 verdict and the Maritime Intercollegiate hockey crown.

That was quite a night.

WE HAVE ,WRITTEN several times in this column concern- ing the behaviour of fans at sport spectacles. We have agreed that the cash customer is entitled to his share of cheering and he can yell himself hoarse if he so desires. Of course we are infering that there's no personal abuse in his remarks.

Too often, however, such personal abuse has crept into the remarks of some rabid fans and they are quite annoyed if-some- one tells them they are out of order. ,

However, it's not only with those big mouths that damage is done. In fact other fonns of showing displeasure are a whole lot more serious. Right now in Sudbury, there are demands for prosecution of hockey fans caught throwing debris on the ice during games.

These demands came about, however, only after a player, Jack McMaster lies gravely ill and paralyzed in hospital. He crashed mto~the boards recently suffering a broken vertebrae and other spmal injuries. The injury is certain to keep him out the rest of the season and perhaps for the rest of his life.

No on knows how it happened. No other player touched him. However, nearby fans claim he stepped on a piece of paper thrown on the ice by spectators. And that’s probably just what did happen; Moments earlier, fans had pelted the ice with pea- nuts and paper in protest against a referee's

This kind of nonsense is nothing new and happens just about

everywhere. We grant that there is no intent to ' '

these missilesare thrown but you would think that lilglmkr: $01de Wise up‘ sometime. What pleasure fans get in holding up a game we dont know. And what pleasure they get in causing some player serious injury. we certainly can‘t imagine.

We bet that around Sudbury folks will think twice before tossmg anytlung on the ice surface. And that kind of thinking should prevail in every link where hockey is played.

And that includes rinks on Prince Edward Island.

Terry Spinks . Decisions Supple

LONDON (APl—Terry Spinks of Eng-land Tuesday night used a long left hand to score an easy decision over Canadian bantam- weight champion Pat Supple in a 10-round fight at London's Wem- bley Stadium.

B-oth fighters w ei g h e d 121 pounds.

Spinks, who won an Olympic gold medal in 1956, outboxed the Montrealer. who tried to mix‘it and found his British opponent too crafty and clever.

On The Associated Press score card, Spinks won the third, fifth, sixth. seventh, eighth and tenth rounds. Supple took the second and fourth with the others drawn.

Neither boxer was marked and there were no knockdowns.

Spinks relied on his straight left most of the way and jolted Supple with long leads.

His crisper punching put him on top midway through the fight and though the Canadian tried swarming tactics. the English- man's riugcraft always took him

Alf Pike Says Job Sounds Fine

VANCOUVER VCP'—Alf Pike, coach of Winnipeg Warriors of the Western Hockey League, says he's "highly honored" by a sug- gestion that he will be asked to coach the NHL‘s Toronto Maple Leafs. “Coach Toronto? It sounds fine," he saic. “But it seems to me everybody is taking a lot for granted. Punch is coming here to talk over the job with me. I don’t think even he said he was going to offer it." George (Punch) Imlach, gen- eral manager of the Leafs, flew here Tuesday to see Pike. He said in New York Monday he was seeking a full-time coach to help Toronto emerge from the NHL basement.

He said only a 20-per-cent in- crease in crowd: for the team‘s remaining games at Queen's Park Arena would keep the Roy- als in the league next season. The Royals are 23 - per - cent down on last year‘s attendance. when they broke even on a $123,000 budget.

Laycoe said the main reasons for gate failures this year have been Saturday competition from NHL games on television. four fewer home games against Roy- als' big draw, the Vancouver Canucks. and a shorter schedule —32 home games this year against 35 last year.

Maple Leafs Buy Pitcher

TORONTO (Gm—Toronto Mia- ple Leaf-s of the International League Tuesday announced the purchase for $15,000 of riighthand pitcher Bolb Chakeles from Rich. mond Virginians of the same league.

MOURNS BIKE RIDING DROP

LONDON (Reuters) — Vice Admiral John Hughes-dialled takes his bike-riding seriously and is worried because his countrymen aren't riding bi- cycles as much as they used to.

The admiral, 57, and now a member of Parliament, Fri- day announced he would start a half-hour debate on the de- cline of bicycling in the House of Commons next Friday.

There is no decline as far as he personally is concerned. He rides his bilm 1,500 miles a year and once took it with him on a battleship all over the world.

DOWN THE

BACK STRETCH

We were very pleased to have a call from Stanley Mayhew on Monday morning, and our first inquiry was whether he had bought any more horses, and his answer was "yes."

The newcomer to his stable is Victory March, 4, 2.06 2—5, a real good<gaited trotter that won at Rockingha-m, New Hampshire. half-mile track In very heavy footing November 6 in 2.15 25. Stanley thinks he should trot our half-mile tracks in 2.12 or bet- ter. if so he will be a helpful companion to the good trotter he bought last year—Blake Han~ over, p, 2.09 2-5; t, 2.00 4-5. While our statistics are not complete, we think when they appear that Blake Hanover will be the champion winning trot- ter of the Maritime Provinces for the 1958 season with 16 firsts to his credit. His fastest mile was at Charlottetown on August 14 where the timers hung out 2.10— 2-5. »

Here is a partial list of the horses in the Math stable: Pa- cers—Royal Value 2.04 25; Just Verdict 2.06 25; First Again, 2.09 2—5; Tribune 2.09 35; Billy

Caroll 2.11; Dex- ter Scott 2.11 25; Pet Hanover 2.13 2-5. DOUBLE-GAITED Our readers will notice that Blake Hanover is double-gaited but all his racing 'was done on the trot last season, and we are sure that his performances. when they catch the eys of trainers and drivers who watched his per- formances at Foaxboro the pre— vious two years, will get a big surprise because his winning brackets were very few there.

State Tax Commissioner George Brnglini has announced in New

York that new records in attend- ance. betting and revenue have been set up during 1958. The to- tal revenue was $80,903,329; more than 12 million people attended the harness and flat racing tracks during the year, also a new er- cord.

The betting record was $881.- 069,557 for the state. as compar- ed to $804,699,260 the previous year. The State of New York col- lected $78,013,280 in pari—mutuel taxes; $2,350.988 from admission taxes; and $326,453 from uncash. ed winning tickets.

The recent harness horse sale at Delaware, Ohio, was highly gratifying to the promoters, Bob Jewell 0f Kentucky and Harvey Klink of Delaware. By careful attention to the interests of their consigners and by building up their auction to one of the most desirable places t buy a re c e horse. they have set a new re- cord for a sale there. The total “take” was $440,654.

SALES UP

This represents an increase of 40 percent over last year's fall sale. The top priced horse was a two-year-old Dick Nelson, who won 13 races this season and took a record of 2.07 25. He went to the bid" of B.W. Sampson for $10500. The next highest was Rook River 2.05 3-5 record taken on a halfdmile track, and winner of 18 firsts this year, that was knocked down to the bid of Ed ward R. Kelly for $8,200. The highest price paid by a Cana- dian buyer was $5200, which Har- ry Hirsch of Sydney, N.S. hand- ed over the four-year-old pacing mare Duchess Scott, p, 2.08 1-5. This year she won 10 firsts, 3 seconds, 2 thirds and one fourth in 16 starts and is by that good sire, Thomas B. Scott, p, 1.58 1-5, also the sire of that good pacer Miss Tom Scott that raced so well in the Don Seaman stable this year. She is owned by And- rew Perry of Summerside.

“This fellow Dutrelle is like the oldotime backwoodsmen or tavern rawlers,” said Kearns. “He’s tough. I’ve seen him fight on tele- vision and I know what he’s like.
