Forty-eight minutes of penalty- free hockey highlighted the con- test with two majors for fighting in the latter stages of the third period being the only incident to prevent both teams from recording shutouts in the "sin bin" depart- ment. It was encouraging too. to see that the other members of both teams allowed the two in question to settle their own quar- rel without becoming involved in the fray. This has not been the case on a number of occasions earlier this season and resulted in nothing more tha'n additional pen- alties and unnecessary delays in the game. Admittedly. however. some of the incidents were forced through the need of "self defence" and in a sense some of the boys could hardly be blamed for their actions. v

Plenty of hard chedring. hand- ed out in the right manner, adds color and excitement to the same and hockey wouldn't be the same without it. but most fans will ad- mit that the lack of high sticks. excess boarding etc. such as was the case Monday night. makes for a much more interesting game to watch. It was all smart hockey every inch of the way. and despite the fact that the locals displayed a decidedly superior style of play. the Hawks were pulling some smart playmaking themselves. it just wasn't good enough or con- sistent enough.

An overabundance of boos 'and cat calls from the bleachers was a noticeable and uncomplimerrtary feature of the game. 0 O O - What satisfaction some fans can get out of trying to ridicule a. bunch of boys who are doing their best and are being soundly troun- ced in the process, is pretty hard to understand by those who like good sport and can appreciate the efforts of a losing learn as well as the winning one. If it was a care of unsportsmanlike performance on the part of the opposition, then one can expect a few "boos" etc., that is all part of the game-but when a team is giving. its best, then give thorn credit for it. 0 0 O

Fortunately. many of local fan- dom showed their respect for A "onday night and gave the boys 1 hand when they deserved it-but the few who nev-

Sure. support your own team to the limit, they expect it and what is more duerve it-but give the other team a. break too. It is well to remember that the local boys have to play away from home ice too. and it is not admired if the crowds there dontt give that an even break-co why set the - ample here-unless it be 3 good one.

Ben Hogan Voted Golfer Of Year

CHICAGO. Oct. at - (AP) -Ben Hogan, 1950's gallant come-backer, today was voted the P.O.A.'s "golfer of the yea ."

I-logan pick- ed the Los Angeles open to begin his campaign,

Hogan climaxed his comeback by winning the U. 8. open. The gritty little pro had rounds of 7249-72-14 - 287 over the rugged Merton course to gain a three-way dead- lock with Mangnlm and George Fazio. In the playoff. he carved 69 to win by four strokes. ' since the open, Hogan has play- ed in only two tournaments, finish- ing 11th in each. He now is in Hol- lywood supervising the filming of his life, "Follow The sun."

Little Fred Denny's goat with five minutes of play remaining broke a 3-3 tie and enabled the Monctonian to rack up the win.

Haw-ks took the lead early in the game then were forced to come from behind in the final period. They were leading 2-1 at the end of the first period and the second was scoreless.

The game was ragged most of the way, with st. Mary's showing their best effort in the second per- iod. But tenacious checking by the Hawks and stout defensive work held them scoreless, -

st. Mary's outshot the Hwks 2-i9, a. large portion of the shots coming in the second period.

Temper-s no high in the last period and penalties were called on Detnchuck and Camibell. and later on Watson and Ilnonti for high sticking. i
