You can't closs them as the greatest Junior hockey club Win- nipeg has ever produced but bro- lher, don't ever sell those Mon- archs of ours short. In winning the western Canada hockey crown Walter Morison’: boys fooled a lot of people including many of the fro-called experts. And it's an even chance they'll go right on doing the same thing when the clash with St. Mike's (it looks lke the Collegians from where we sit) when they meet in the all-Canada finals in Maple Leaf Gardens.

From the very beginning f the season 1.he Regals were not high- ly regarded by those who consider themselves first class judges of hockey teams. But we think that after watching them knock off Brandon. Port Arthur and Edmon- ton in fifteen games; twelve of which they won, the Rlegals’ most severe critics will have to admit thq have something on the ball.

~l- 1- + i-

Edmonton Canadians went into the series with Monarchs with the reputation of being a club that would take a lot‘ of beating. This reputation was, no doubt. justly earned. for their feat of eliminat- ing Moose Jaw Canucks definite- ly was an achievement. But-like every other team the Regals have met during the season. the Ed- montcnians were just another hockey team which had nothing left but a lot of "what might have

been!" by the time Monarchs were through with them. 1' O- 0 1|-

We think the fact that Monarchs have the happy faculty of being able to force their opposition to play their style of game is going to stand them in good stead when they run up against St. Mike's. Brun- don, Port Arthur and Edmonton all tried to play Monarchs at their own game and look what happen- ed to them. While any fear that they wouldn't show to a good advantage on a large sheet; of ice has already been dispelled by elr nerfoflnance on the bi sunsce at Edmonton where they oaks even

better than they do at the Amphi-

theatre. r i‘ O O I:

One of the things that has taken the Monarchs so far down the hockey trail this year is their back-checking. They never stop skating and it is only on rare oc- casions that an‘ opposing team weerenlber finds himself clear of his r .

OQOO

Monarchs took their succest in their stride. But don't get the idea they're a cocky bunch of boys. They are far from that. The ‘were confident they could beat mal- ion after they lost the first’ game 1-2 minus three of their star players. Hence. they weren't over- excited whenthey did.

So now it's on to Toronto and the Maple Leah dens. Ho on the bandwagon fo ks. These on- Irchs have a lot of what it takes.

Ive played golf with Bing Cros- by many times and in my opinion he has the ideal temperament for the game. He's as nonchalant shoot- ing for a 69 as he-is before u mike singing “The Atchlson Topeka and Santa Fe.‘ As you know, that's an assignment that's strictly a romp for him. ,

Walter Hagen had the, same ability to be thoroughly relaxed. In fact, most good golfers have. They couldn't stand the strain of, competitive golf if they didn't,

There are a lot of golfers who‘ can shoqt low scores while play- ing in friendly forescme, but in competition or before a gallery their scores skyrocket. The gocd ones play better before a large gal- lery and with something at stake.
