From Another Angle
PETE K1RPUK, THE MODERN PHANTOM of the Opera, is still rating comment across the country as a result of his mad gallop from the Ottawa players’ bench to interrupt the touchdown gallop of, Ulysses Curtis of Toronto Argonauts recently at Varsity Stadium. Sideline observers are divided in opinion as to when Karpuk’8 resourcefulness ended and where questionable sportsmanship took over. For the moment Pete’s spectacular intrusion has been enough to hasten Canadian Rugby Union authorities into a tightening of the playing code to handle similar situations. Nevertheless the event isn’t precedent-shattering, and similar rude encroachments can be dug up in almost every branch of Canadian and international sport activity. Three incidents in National Hockey League competition come quickly to mind—ultra-modern versions of Eliza crossing the ice. Conn Smythe, president of Maple Leaf Gardens and…
Despite Starry Ex Pro Array, Sydney $$Men Badly Deflated
SYDNEY, N.S.— Exactly five wins and a tie in 16 starts during four weeks of play. That’s the amazing record of Sydney Millianaires, Maritime major hockey champions, as they start their fifth week of play. The collapse of Bill Dinning’s champions is even more noticeable when one finds that they only won three home games in eight tries. It’s not that Sydney hasn’t added new material.

Peterson is now out with a severe flu attack, and it is hoped that when he returns he will have the scoring punch that made him second highest point-getter in the Cape Breton League last season when he played…

In any event, India Pale Ale brewed originally to stand the long sea voyage to India was demanded by 18th century soldiers on their return. And today, those who demand a “real man’s drink” ask for Labatt’s India Pale—a zestful, sparkling ale brewed in Canada to the original English recipe by John Labatt.—John Labatt Limited.…
Claims Ties Reason For Gate Slump
BOSTON, Mass.— Advocates of the return of overtime to the Nation a League’s playing agenda have a supporter in the league’s newest club president. He is Walter Brown, now in his first season of directing the destinies of the Boston Bruins. Brown is in favor of playing all games until they produce winners. The Bruins’ president expressed the sentiments which he has harbored for years after his team played to its third tie, against the Toronto Maple Leafs, in its first four games. “It was a fine game,” he observed, “but it was too bad that it had to end in a tie. “I’ll probably be read out of the hockey brotherhood for saying this,” he continued, “but I hope to live to see the day when the tie game is replaced by “sudden death” overtime.…
