Johnny Black, Islanders latest

front-line threat who sufered in

Halifax when the Lamoureux-coaclv ed locals scored a 4-2 verdict over the sslntamarians, is the subject of concern by many fans hare, who are asking about the seriousness of his injury. It was Johnny's second start of the season with Islanders. both of them impressive ones too, and fans are wanting to see more of the re-insisted pro fromwthe Van- , couver Canucks - a 0 0

For the benefit of those who are interested in Johnny ltand what Islanders fan isn't). coach Lam- oureux tells us this story. "Johnny has a. trick knee. similar to Bucko 'I'rainor's. We are having 3 brace made for it. patterned after the one New York Rangers had made for Trainer. If the brace works. Johnny will be in action in a few days. but if it doesn't. then the knee will have to be operated on. and that will keep Black out of action for possibly five weeks."

Q 0 0

Leo seems to think, however. that the brace will work o.k. I-lo ex- plained -that the injury itself is not serious. but that the cartilage of the knee is separated so that the knee will go out of joint if not supported rigidly, and doesn't take much of a twist or bump to cause the damarie. The brace however. will supply this needed support. and still give the joint I. normal and free movement. Dells hope it works as well for Johnny as it does for Bucko. ' O O I

Joe Louis Plans Quick Knockout Over Beshore

By Charles C. Cain

DETROIT. Jan. 2 - (AP) -Joe Louis served notice today that he will attempt to soothe his hurt feelings by scoring as quick knock- out over Freddy Beshore of liar- risburg. Pa.. in their scheduled 10.-rounder here Wednesday night.

The former heavyweight champ- ion made it plain that he is un- happy over some reports that he has lost his K.O. wallop and no longer is the dreaded Brown Bomber of old.

"I've got the old punch back in my right band now," he declared today. "I figure Beshore is my kind of fighter for he keeps bor- ing in and I hope to knock him out."

Louis has made no secret of the fact that be was irritated by some criticism of his most recent fights with -heavyweight champion Ez- zard Charles and Cesar Brion of Argentina.

A Louis intimate explained it '

this way today:

”Lois of people said Louis was

all washed up after those two fights. They said his timing was ca'.'f and that he had lost his punch- ing ability. "They didn't mean to be unkind to Joe. but they hurt his pride. Now he is a follow set on regain- ing this prestige."

Louis and Beshore both recall with sadness that they were best- en by Charles last year. in Louis' case, it was via decision; Beshorels fight with Charles was stopped in the lflih round because of cuts suffered by Beshore.

The 36-year-old former champ has told friends that he feels a quick knockout over Beshore would be a major. step on his comeback campaign.

In Beshore. Louis meets a 25. year-old navy veteran whose handlers claim he never has been knocked off his feet in 54 pro fights.

The International Boxing Club forecast a tumaut at about 11.000 fans for the Olympia Stadium fight. The main event is sched- uled io get under way at 10 PM. EST.

Sportiichoes From Prince county

It looks, at the ushering in of the new year. that Summerside will ice intermediate, junior and juven- ile hockey teams in spite of efforts to make it two aggregation: instead of three. Argument against: 1” will probably weaken all three teams by dispersing the talent over foo extensive a territory. Argument for: It will give more boys a chance to get into the game. step up and take you choice.

I O 0

Jack Schurman will coach the crystals. To tell you that Jack was at one time cne of our most com- petent puck Juggler: is repeating something ninety-nine percent of you probably know. He has yet to win his spurs in the coaching game. Some of our best hockey players have failed as coaches. and vice versa. which is Latin for "let's turn it upside down, see if it still makes sense," some of our best coaches have never played hockey. our money is on Jack to win. place or show. He has the knack of getting along with the boys. and that is about half the struggle.

O O D

It is only fair to mention. how- ever. that his material. at least on paper, doesn't have too'ritzy a smell. The Crystals have lost Syl Bernard. Stan Gallant (to Piotr-ui, Garth Gay (to Stella:-ton), Laysh Sehurman (to Sussex). Don Davis. Joe Bernarl (to the sidelines), -Ben- ny Grady (to the Canadian army). Joey Schurman (to the us. air- force). That's too much gcorl hoc- key blood to lose, and expect the patient not to be a bit weak. We think that Jack Schurman will do 3. good job with the material at hand. If he doesn't clutter up the old hockey shelf with new troph- ies this year, remember the exist-

ing drawbacks. 0

some of the dark horses whose success or failure may mean the difference between success tr fail- ure for the club are: Russ Kelly. Norman Van Ember. Elmer Math- eson. Ken Walker. some or the old- tlmers whose abilities are pretty well known and appreciated are Reg. Bradshaw. Leo Shields. Gor- die Kelly. Carl Woodside. Rumor has it that that old deadsfii-ct Chick Gallant is willing to take another try at the hockey game. If Chick still has that deadlv shot of his he will be ab'e to make things rather miserable for the boys between the pipes.

As we write this we have only a very hazy idea of what players are rzolng to play junior fcr Summer- side this year. Before it is published we may be better informed. for we understand the juniors will have a practice on 'I'uc-sdav. It seems pret- ty certain Wallv Travers will turn out with the Mntheson-sohurman sextet. it is reported Laysh Schur- man is leaving Sussex and will play with our local juniors. my (chick) Gallant may turn out for them and Junior Waite is believed to be another candidate. who the other players -will be is still in the guessing stage.

In discussing a disputed goal shot hv :1 Halifax player in the game be- tween the Islanders and Halifax inst Saturday nlirlit, the Halifax re- porter has this to say: "- the goal judge said it didn't go over the line. Despite protests from the Halifax players he was adamant. though from the press box the rubber ap- peared to be at least three inches over the line." Now there is an eagle eye for you. A repcrter who can iudae a puck as being three inches over the line from his position in the press box should get a lob in a circus as "the human tel, , ." The report goes on: "Fans in the vlclnltv and behind the screen also said the puck was over." Halifax fans. we'll bet a nickel. It's diffic- ult. we know. for sports reporters to remain strictly impartial and neutral. but they should at least avoid silly utterances of this kind.
