TONIGHT'S GAME

Coach Tom Rogers of the Vics has been giving his aggregation some stiff work-outs of late, and when they answer the referee's whistle tonight against the Crystals of Summersidc, all indications point to a hectic and spectacular hockey fixture.

The blue and white clan are go- ing into the play tonight with a de- termination augmented by their first section experience. Furthermore they know that a defeat, tonight will mean a herculean uphill fight for them ill the remainder of their games in or- der to stay in the picture. This in itself is enough to ensure sixty min- utes of fast and iong-to-be-remem- bored puck chasing. The Crystals, still smsrting no doubt, over their re- cent defeat by the Abegweits will hurdle the boards tonight with one thing uppermost in their minds, and that is a clean-cut victory over the vies. At any rate the game this evening should be productive of ex- cellent hockey in every period.

NJLL. TEAMS MAY INVADE EUROPE

Leo Dandurand, owner o! the Ca- nadiens, has been approached by Eu- WDGI-n interests with a view to secur- ing his aid in getting two N.H.L. teams to play aiseries in Paris. Loll- don, Berlin and Vienna. The Cana- dians would make a big hit in Paris. Ind it is planned to take either the New York Rangers or a team com- Wfled of stars from other clubs. The big European cities are ‘said to be quite enthusiastic over the winter PM- tlme, and the proposed trip could be well financed. The weather in April, May and June would not be a bar to successful hockey, and though none of the overseas cities have I-Nhls to compare with those over here, it is stated that changes could be readily made in those that exist h? make them suitable, Rene Rn- cover, the French promoter, who brought El Ouafi, the Arab Marathon runner, to the States, is said to hart made a proposition that is attracting the N.H.L. club owners, and if ar- rangements can be made in time it is 111K017 that something will be done about it.

Negotiations between the Toronto and Montreal clubs for the “MW of Art Duncan have been temporarily suspended. The Maroons oflercd a straight, cash deal for Duncan, the price being $7,500.

Ever since we were knee high to a grasshopper we have heard that old saw about "it's the little things in life that count." And while the fellow who washes elephants for a living may have put. it down as a lot oi bologna, ‘there are many golfers who will agree that it; is a great old ‘adage. These. golfers are usually the blrus who have devoted considerable time to perfecting their shots on the green and have not been satisfied at being merely able to drive 'em high, wide and handsome and let their put-rs take their own course.

After all, a shot on the green- even if it's a muffed putt over a three inch distance-counts a stroke Ill-ab the same as the one which goes whiz- zing down the fairway from the tee- ff itrdoes go whlzzing down the fair- way from the tee. And the golfer _who overlooks the value of expert putting is never going to see his name engraved on any pewter mugs. You hear a lot about a top spin to the ball and the less wrist movement the better and there are probably as many ways of putting as there are goifers- One rule, however, seems logical, and that says the nearer the

suit.

We're not trying to tell anyone how it should be done because we've probably dubbed as many putts as anyone who ever fondled a putter— and any of our shots are not of a variety which would cause Bobby Jones, the Atlanta barrister, to tear off his necktie-but the fact exists that good putting is a requisite to good golf. Our game htLs never ap- proached what could be referred w as good, despite many years of ham- mering away at a bail.

Increased putting skill has been known to elevate a 800d amateur to real stardom, however. Take the case for instance, of Tommy Armour, who wcn the National Open in 1927. In Edinburgh, before he came to the United States, he was rated as a got-c amateur but a terrible putter. The British must have been surprised when Tommy won a series of tourna- ments and polished them off by grab- bing the National Open title. Return-

isllers demanded an explanation and Armour merely replied that, in Am- erica they had a system which made putting simple. Gene Sarazen also gave ‘the English a tip on the dif-

__-

chief question concerning B, new 501g- er in England had to do with nls driving while in America, and the same question centered around-his putting. These remarks from Sara- zen and Armour may help reverse the recent bad fortune of British golf,

Walter Hagen is noted as one of the best putters in the game, but even Walter has been known to miss some short shots which it seemed im- possible for him to mufl’.

Among the amateurs, Bobby Jones has practiced puttifigflstudiously and’ is a master on the green. He has a likely rival in George Volght, ‘ the Long Island open champion. Voigl-t hasn't the physical strength neces- Sllfy f0!‘ IOHS-sfflnge shooting on the fairways but he more than oflsels this handicap through his wizardy on the green. George, who is rated by many experts next to Jones, sel- dom misses a putt and this leads to most of his success.

Winter is as good a time as any to practice up on the business of put- ting, and with the growth in popu- larity of indoor courses, golfers have B- Ereat opportunity to perfect their play on one of the trickiest shots in the game-the big little stroke. Copyright, 102i)’ King Fnatnrha Rynilf-

NEW YORK. Feb. 4-The fistic fu- ture of Max Schmeiling, one of the brightest heavyweight prospects o1 a

Anderson and Gus Moore, Edvin Wide, the Stockholm schoolmaster,‘ was keeping step with the strains oi I the Swedish national anthem, and holding in suspense the four thou- sand fans who crowded the 102hd En- ‘ gineers Armoury, New York, to at-, tend the Masonic, Games for the beneflt of the Kiddy Kemp Fund. Making his first appearance on an American track in two years, Wide: flawless stride carried him to an easy 1,500 meter victory, in the fair time of 4 minutes 8 1-5 seconds. That mark is seven seconds below the stan- dard set by Hahn in 1925, when the Nebraska farmer established a world record. Widek feat is the more notc- worthy because of the fact that ho has had little chance t0 practice 0n the boards this season.

To the thousands who watched the pensive Swede go through his paces, one thing was obvious. Wide is a delicately constructed runningma- chine. He carries himself with the easy grace of a trotter. and as he llsumes space and defies time, one gets the impression of speed in the abstract. A lithe. graceful, airy little man, sailing along terra firma under his own locomotion.

WIDE WAS IMPRESSIVE

Sharp-featured, intelligent and al- ert, the Scandinavian pedagogue look- ed quite impressive as he stepped out in front of Johnny Theoboldm, Tom McNeil, Walter Gegan and Joe Hickey. He looked every inch a run- i ner, like one who had given thought l and attention to the ancient art 0i footracing and mastered its simple hut-elusive fine points. .-Pcised, pur- poseful and swift, he has all the a?- pearances of a running machine. No waste motion, no undue effortyhrl urging, but the constant synchronized rhythm of the arms and legs, beatilu: a symphony of speed upon the air

There were other splendid races at the Masonic meet, but somehow Wide captivated the crowd and held the spotlight for the evening. At Bos- ton Where Nurmi led the field in the two-mile jaunt, the situation was similar. Both men are outstanding at their respective distances and where ever they run they are the cynosure of all eyes. , Strangely enough this famous duet‘ oi footracipg artists are direct oppo- sites when it comes to personality. Wide is quiet, sophisticated, humor cos, exubereant and jolly. He loves life for the sheer joy of living, doesll z give a whoop if he never ran an» other race and consents to run only for the sport that one derives from winning or losing. _ Wide’s future in the public school system of his native land is virtu~ ally certain. - At present he is study ing American school systems for the purpose of comparison and for what- ever advantages may be gained thereby. Running is to him just an- other little pastime like a game 0' tennis or a round of golf. He is is! from consumed with the idea of be» ing the world's foremost runner, A race is just a diversion of sporting adventure, a delightful contest. Noth- ing more.
