ESCAPING FROM the Roundheads, King Charles II hid in an oak tree and thereby originated the name “Royal Oak” for pubs and battleships. Many an inn perpetuated the Royal Oak story after the Restoration. And in such inns, eighteenth century soldiers first called for India Pale Ale. “Give us a real man’s drink—give us India Pale,” they cried, remembering the zestful ale brewed to withstand a long sea trip to India. And today those who want a “real man’s drink” demand Labatt’s India Pale—brewed to the original English recipe by John Labatt.—John Labatt Limited. The swing is DEFINITELY to Labatt’s…
Forbes, Ailsby Consistant All-Star Choices
ST. PAUL, Minn.— A check of the All-Star rosters the five years the United States Hockey league has been in operation provide quite a story of consistency as far as defensemen Lloyd Ailsby of St. Paul and Omaha’s Jake Forbes are concerned. The two blue liners have been on either the first or second AllStar teams for all but one of the five years. Lloyd missed one season—1946-47—because he was with New Haven in the American league. Jake missed the boat that campaign, too, because the selectors figured four other gents ranked him. One campaign—1948-’49—Jake and Lloyd wound up as a teammates on the No. 1 All-Star unit. Last season they were together again—only on the second squad. In the two other seasons he made the All-Star team Jake gained top ranking while…

Horeck Perks Up Bruins With Speed And Bustle; Nearly Didn’t Make It
BOSTON, Mass— A 27-year old refugee from the operating table is justifying his confidence in his own ability with his performances for the perksd-up p Bruins. Little Pete Horeck, who didn’t figure to make the team in September, not only has made it, he is also helping make it a playoff contender. Horeck, a pepperpot forward who has been around with Detroit and Chicago, was injured so badly so often a year ago that his part in the Bruins’ pre-season plans ’was small to the point of being invisible.

Horeck’s questionable status stemmed from the fact that he missed more than half of last season with injuries, three of them in all. and all…
