Canadian Hockey Team Arrives At London Airport

LONDON. (CF)-Eighteen Can- adian hockey players breezed into London airport Monday. bound for Germany on what they call their "mission against Moscow."

"And that is our mission." and playing coach Grant Knobby Wer- wick as the Penticton Va trooped off their plane from Canada for a one-hour stop in London. The team is en route to Duesseldrf for the vi orld hockey championships starting Feb. 25.

Warwick. once with New York Rangers of the National Hockey League. obviously had hie mind on Canada's March A clash against Russia. probably the key game of the tournament. Russia defeated Toronto East York 7-1 last year to win the title.

Warwick said his charges were in good shape-hut ”tired."

Tuesday, Feb. 15, 1955

Pentictoa played ita last game in Canada only last Thursday. Warwick had been counting on a practice Monday night in Dues- ssldorf. but didn't make it too definite.

"If we can't have one tonight, we'll get at it tomorrow. And we' have two-one in the morning and on H the afternoon."

He said he doesn't think Pantie- ton will have too much trouble ad- justing its style of play to the European interpretation of the rules, which has proved a head- ache to many other visiting Cana- dian teama. "But we'll watch that." he promised.

The only player who seemed to show any trace of recent games was Billy Warwick. one of Grant's two brother: on the team. Billy has a cut left eyebrow which still

Mayor Bill Woodhouse took to the ice to calm the booing crowd. The law had to be obeyed. he said.

Otherwise. it meant a 350 fine. Angry citizens immediately started a petition designed to

bring a plebiscite on the question. A protest meeting was planned for this week. The petition would need signatures of 10 per cent of voters before a plebiscite could be authorized. Council is expected to deal with the question at its next meeting March 8.

Sir.-June was almost over in 1913 when the Judges and referee voted a unanimous decision to Gilbert Gallant of Chelsea. Mass. over the durable Dene, "Bat- tling" Neleon in e 12-round bout at the Boston Arena.

This same Gilbert. Gallant was born in Bloomfield. P.l:1.l., and left the province around the turn of the century.

The island also had other good men in the lightweight division of boxing who made a name for themselves in the squared circle. in 1910. Jack Ahcrn of Tignish,

0' chalked up an impressive record

while fighting around the Boston area. Mr. Ahern later taught the late Jimmie Mclnnie all he knew about the manly art of self de- fence.

Then there were the Donovan brothers. Jack and Pres. Jack

two although neither held a pro- fessional title.

Probably the best amateur boxer ever to be produced in this province is Stevey MacDonald. ”The Fighting Druggist." For the past four years. Stevey has competed in the Maritime Ame- tuer Boxing Tournaments in Hall- fax and ha won a title each year and la year took double honors.

Billy Pryor is another Island boy who likely would have been a Catiadian champ in his class had be taken the fight game seriously. He was runner up for the Canadian Olympic llghtwcight ycrowii in 1948.

Getting back to Gilbert Gai- lant. He was easily the best pro fessional lightweight to ever leave the island. The late Doc Allan of the Boston press once said of Gilbert: "He is the hard- est hitting little mar in the world. He has the neck. arms

,and shoulders of a middleweight.

and hits with the authority of a heavyweight."

Gilbert must also he remem- bored for his four great matches with New York's Leach Cross. He gave Cross more trouble than any fighter he ever met. Out of the four matches. Gilbert beat Cross decisively in two and drew in the others.
