Many have heard of I-lockey's Hall of Fame. but probably very few have much conception as to how or what makes such an or- ganization tick. In e recent article in the New York Daily News by Dana Mosley, there are some in-

teresting facts about this unique organization and for the benefit of those interested. the following are some of he interesting features culled from 11hal;.erticle. C 0

"Although its permanent. shrine is still to be built." states the auth- or, ”hockey's hall of fame is al- ready a sizeable body.” However for one reason or another - pre- judice or politics or just plain oversight. perhaps - it is not yet a representative body. It won't be un-iii ilhe best right winger in the game's history is a member.

I O O

"rhere is no excuse for Bill Cook's absence from a list that now numbers 26 former players and i0 of the game's builders and exe- outives." quotes the scribe. "As a duel member of the Hall of Fame Selection Committee and Govern- ing Board. Art Ross of the Bruins sponsored both Eddie Shore and Dit Clapper for ivhc award. Shore deserved it and Clapper may have but only aficr Cook had been picked. if you discount Lester Patrick. who was elected to flip hall for his playing record in Can- ads, the list 3 barren of Rangers. Patrick apparently failed to plug for any of his old team when he was both a member of the organ- ization snd of the Hall of Fame Governing Board. The oversight should be corrected now, when the governors are preparing to vote in additional members.

I I

”Frank Bouchcr, a very eligible candidate himself since he was second only to Howie Morenz as I. centre. thinks it's about time the committee recognized the elder of the Cook's. Nine out of 10 peo- ple. in Canada will tell you ilhal Bill was the greatest right winger of all time.' the Biues' boss said recently. ll-le was an All-Star six straight seasons and, at the age of 36, when most players are long gone. lie was not only an All-Star but led the league in scoring. He didn't arrive in the league until he was 30. and look at the record.

"rho Hall of Fame board, which has interested itself mainly in oldti-mers up to now." states the author. "will be faced with the selection of several modern play- ers in its next meil ballot this spring. As of now. the only 1-1 of F memlbers of recent vintage are the Boston pair and Morena. Aurel Jolist and Chuck Gardiner. The method of Hall ofgl-lame sel- ection is interesting. A selection committee of Patrick, Ross. Leo Dendifrsnd, former head. and George Dudley authors a list of candidates and recom- mendations each year. These are submitted to the N. H. L. presi- den-t'r office whence ballots are

, mailed to all 16 members

of the board. I 0 O

"The Hall of Fame lovernors. vote for 10 names and a candidate is automatically elected if his name appears on 1.2 of the is bel- lots. If no one is elected on the first ballot. a second one carrying the top 10 finishers in the first vote is resubmitted to the board.

Each governor then votes five names, with 12 out of 16 votes again needed for.eleetion.

"Semi - Final Series With Moneton To Open Here This Week-End

The semi-final playoff series be- tween Charlottetown Islanders and Moncion Hawks in Maritime Ma- jor Hockey League play will get underway at Charlottetown on Fri- day and Saturday nights of this week. it was ounced here yes- terday by Islanders Club President, Major T. 3. Rogers.

The starting date had been set for Moncton this week-end at a mating of the M.M.K.L. at Monc- ton on Sunday. but through negoti- ations between President Rogers and the Moncicn t by telephone yesterday. arrangements were made to change the opening to Charlottetown ice on Friday and Saturday.

Making a staiernent to the press here yesterday. Major Rogers said, "On returning to the City by plane yesterday from the Sunday meet-. ing at Moncton. I found the town in an uproar over changing the playoff dates to start. at Moncton. I was met with a great deal of consternation from the Islanders team and a number of hockey fans i-n the City, but of course they did.n't know the story behind the change.

"Last week." Major Rogers sia'- ed, "I phoned C. S. McAlden, Sec- retary of the M.M.H.L. to inquire about the financial arrangement for the playoffs. This was my re- ply by telegram: ivisitlng club to receive thirty-five per cent of gate after taxes and rink expenses have been deducted and the rink to sup- ply statement to visiting Club.' Armed with this information," Ma- jor Rogers continued. "I went to the Big Four meeting at Moncion

on Sunday. accompanied by Mr. W. I. Massey. club vice-president. At the meeting, however. I found that the thirty-five per cent er- rsngement only applied to the odd game. fifth. seventh, etc.. play- ed in such a. series, and that none of the playoff teams re- presented would agree to a straight thirty-five per cent cut on the full series. Whenil realized the full import of the situation. I opened negotiations with the Monc- nion Clu-b management. and they agreed to split thirty-five per cent with us on all games. providing Charlottetown agreed to play the first two games at Moncton. Being the two men primarily concerned wih the financial arrangements of the club. Mr. Massey and myself agreed to those terms and didn't think for a minute that the rest of the islanders club or manage- ment would have disagreed with such a decision for our f'nanclsl betterment. otherwise I would have contacted them from the meeting to get their approval.

"However. when I arrived back in this city, such was not iihe case. and after being taken up on the carpet by the Club. I arranged to have the playoffs reverted back to start here on Friday - but less thirty-five per cent of all of Monc- lon's home games."

ln closing Major Rogers stated. i"that is wlhy I made such I de- cision at the meeting. and al- though I hold no iii feeling over the team's attitude. I want to let the hockey public know my rea- sons for making such a decision without consulting the rest 6! the executive on the matter."

Weather such as is likely to strain the memory of the oldest inhabit- enttorecellitseouslhescelleda halt to all plsy-off hockey games scheduled to be played in natural ice rinks. Very late starts have been experienced in all natural ice rinks for the last three seasons. If early finishes are to be added, that will just about be the coup de grace as far as such rinks are concerned.

Just how the smaller centres are going to get around such a situa- tloh is difficult to see. If the mild winter trend continues. the cen- tres near each other may consolid- ate their forces and erect s com- mon ertificial ice rink. That would be quite a project but if the need became pressing it is quite within the realm of possibility that these enterprising little centres would carry it through. ”

Because so many of the important play-down games were being play- ed on poor ice surfaces. the euth- orities got smart this year and be- gan the playdowns a. bit -earlier. The weather double-crossed them, however, and started the slushy ice surfaces a bit earlier too.

Four play-off .serles in Prince County are waiting the green light from the weather man. O'l.eary and Alberton, Freetown and Albany. Borden and Summerside, and in the junior division.

We have just finished reading a little book on "Five-Pin Bowling" written by one of our Bumrnerslde bowlers. N.W. "Dutch" Underwood. "Dutch" has been crashing the pins at the Capitol Bowling Alley: in summerside for quite a number of years and has invariably finished among the top four of five. so what he has to say about the technique of five-pin bowling should be quite authoritative. There is a rhythm and grace to "Dutch's" bowling that singles him out as e bowler's bowi- er, and watching him in action is a good way to pick up some point- ers on how to go about this busin- ess of five-pin bowling.

. . .

I-lis little book is crammed full of interesting pointers on how to play the game well. You don't have to be after the national title to get benefit and enjoyment from it. At- ter all, even if you are only a be- ginner. and intend to play the game only for fun, there is much more fun in playing it well and making good scores than in being every- body's pushover. There is a defin- ite thrill in watching your game improve. (so they tell me).

. . N. W. Underwooii's'book has some illustrations which help make the instruction clearer. It is a compact little book which can be carried in your pocket. If you are e bowler. or ifyou'dliketot.akeupthisgarr.e which makes pleasant winter even- ings for so many people, you should by all means get this book.
