| ACROSS THE ISLAND Fabulous Hockeyists Carried Abbie Colors

By NEIL A. MATHESON Provincial-Farm Editor

FOSTER HEWITT said recently the Toronto Granites team @at won the Olympic hockey title for Canada in 1924 were “one of the great teams of all time’ and added “In the 1920s amateur hockey was possibly superior to the professional

And Vern DeGeer, veteran sport columnist of the Montreal Gazette, did some reminiscing recently and called the same Granites ‘‘the greatest collection of puck chasers outside pro

."’ It was generally agreed, DeGeer recalls, ‘‘that the ites were formidable enough to parade in major profes- sional company.” é In case you're wondering what the Granites have to do with ‘Across the Island’’ the ‘explanation is simple. The Charlotte- Abegweits played ‘the Granites at Saint John in damuary,

, prior to their departure for Europe where they walloped the Czechs 30-0 and Switzerland 30-0—I do not have all the scores—and took the Olympic title by whipping the Yanks 6-1 in the final.

The Granites were playing their 14th warmup game of their eross-Canada tour—they had won 12—when they met the local team. The Abbies had had a couple of skates on Victoria

Pond and two practices in the arena—there was no artificial }

fee here then—and their game against the classy Olympians pas their first of the yeat. The score was a most respectable

Munro told Sugar Gorddén ‘‘you gave us one of the toughest battles we've had across the country.” The Granites found it impossible to believe the Abbies were all hometown boys from'a city of 10,000 to 12,000. Their team was the pick from a

aumber of provinces.
