Press Staff Writer) TOR/ON’Il0, Dec. 22-For sheer magic in Canadian sports this year, for the highest point in achieve- ment reached by any competitor, you may take W. Lawson Little's golf exploit at the St. Andrew’s Club near Toronto and not be wrong. It was Olympic year and all; that, but no Canadian behaved at home or abroad quite as :ensation- ` ally as Little did in winning the Canadian open. If you look coldly at the figures and facts, you’ll see , why the burly San Francisco golf- _ er’s performance brought such a’ rave from the experts. In '12 holes of medal play over par-'70 Bt. Andrews he scored 67- 66-69-69-271. Aside from all the` rich color that attached to the first major triumph by Little since he retired as amateur champion of Great britain and United States in 1935, -the occasion was a. rare one. On all count.: it was the best bit of golf played anywhere in 1936, and it was accomplished with the whole squadron of top-notch U. S. professionals at Llttle's heels. Over °p°“m5 ‘°°°°'“' (This is one of a. year-end series I -Jones, Hagen, Sarazen, Cotton, Whit/combe, Manero, Revolt/a and the lot of them. When Little real- ized the dream, at the same time signalizlng his bid to succeed Jones as the best golfer on earth, he topped the list of good works in Canada. Hot Shots on Ice The best hockey player of the year was either Conacher or Shore and perhaps Bad Boy Eddie lost the decision that night in Toron- to when, greatly annoyed at a de- cision allowing Toronto Leafs a goal, he shot the puck at a referee and- earned a 10-minute miscon- duct penalty. It was a playoff game between the Bruins and Leafs, Boston was ahead 4-2 in the second period and there dldn’t seem much chance for Toronto until Shore was banished, raging mad. When. he finally returned the Bruins were beaten. Conacher had led the sea- son'_s most dazzling rally and put out the Bruins. Another dominant figure in the National Hockey league was David (Sweeney) Schriner of New York Americans, a. sophomore from Calgary. While Schriner was adjudged the outstanding rookie of the previous season, a. great many cxpf,"ts were doubtful of his fut- a three-day stretch, -the San Fran- ciscan was invincible. His golf was i miramilous. This was perfection in sport that I wasn't approached by any otherl athlete, greatest of whom werei Phil Edwardr, Johnny Loaring and: Howie McPhee in track; Charlie Conacher,__Eddie Shore audi Sweeney Schriner in hockey; Hugh Stirling, Amie Morrison, Bobby Coulter, Dean Grlffing, Fritz Han- 1.
