One of the boasts concerning play for Canada's premier hockey prize, the Stanley t Cup, is that only nature, or death, ever I halted the play. This, like many other claims made in sport, is not correct. Nature halted the play in the nineties, when for two years, there was no ice available at the finish of the season. Death abruptly stepped into the Cup picture in 1919, when the Montreal Canadiens, champions of the east, invaded Seattle to play the Metropolitans for the Cup. Five games had been played, each team having won two, with one tied, when the black 'flu, which scourged the continent and left hundreds of dead in its wake, hit both clubs. Nearly every player was stricken, one died, Joe Hall succumbing, and that series never was completed. But back in the misty past, in 1899, to be exact, there was an unfinished series, and viewed in retrospect, this fiasco has its humorous overtones, though doubtless there was nothing funny about it at the time. Champions of the east were the Montreal Victories, represent- ing one of the greatest truly-amateur clubs in Canadian sports history, an organization which disbanded in the thirties, when the press of professionalism became too great. The club re- I fused to sacrifice its standards, and closed down completely. 11 Champions of the west were the Winnipeg Victories, a great team, and also completely amateur. These two Victories teams had fought out a griirt battle in 1896, each winning a series. In 1897, the Montreal Victories again won the Cup, defeating Ottawa; there were no Cup matches in 1898, but in' 1899, the all-Victoria rivalry flared again, as the two teams met on Montreal ice, best two out of three games. , The Montreal team won the first, 2-1, in a rugged contest. The second was tied at 3-all, when the series suddenly collapsed. , Tony Giegras, Winnipeg star, was crashed across the knee by a Montreal player, and limped off the ice. No replacement was allowed in those hardy days, unless it was proven that an injured player was unable to continue. The argument concern- ing Gingras' fitness to playesentged hot and heavy. The debate grew stormy, and the referee, Jack Findlay, came in for such sharp criticism that he doffed his skates,' left the building, and went home. So when the teams finally agreed to play, there was no referee. A rink executive hastily summoned horse and sleigh, drove to the referee's home, found him in bed, urged him to return and carry on, and the official consented. He donned his skates and sweater. But the walls were thin in the building. He was in between the two teams, and heard both denouncing him in terms of a torrid nature. So he tramped out of the room, jumped on the ice, skated right out of the rink. And this time, he refused to return, So the game was called off, for lack of a referee and then the entire series was abandoned, and the Winnipeg team re- turned home. But the western club wasn't done as Cup contenders. The great Montreal Shamrock team ousted Montreal Victories as Cup champions, and in 1900 downed Winnipeg Victories. But ' the battling westerners won the trophy in 1901 and 1902 in eastern invasions, then vanished, as a team, from the cup ' picture. 15-b Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge St., Toronto.

There were nearly 65 people pres- ent including many ladies and a goodly number of the Sunday School children. Charles Cooper, club president, extended a very warm welcome. The rector, Rev. H. J. E. Webb, gave a brill resume of the three documentary films shown during the evening. These were very interesting end supplied by the National Film Board of Canada, with a running commentary. The first, entitled, "Canada's Awakening North," centred ar- ound the thriving town of Yellow- knife. There were splendid close- ups of herds of buffalo, musk-ox and reindeer, all of which have government protection. It was evident from these films , that Canada's north's great industrial age is just beginning. The second picture formed a great contrast, being filmed in the Holy Land. There were splendid pictures of Damascus, the oldest - city in the world, where time means little and of Jerusalem now in our thoughts during the Holy Week ahead of us. The third film was most pro- vocative of thought being based on St. Mark's version of the rich young ruler, who was told by Christ to sell all his goods and give the proceeds to the poor. This film showed his mental struggle and final decision to do as our Lord had asked. Alf. Scotchmer assisted Mr. Webb with the movies. After the meeting closed, all adjourned to the church base- ment, where the ladies of St. James served a bountiful lunch. (We suspect the ladies were in- vited to this meeting to relieve the Men's Club of culinary concern). Mrs. Fred Middleton kindly made the coffee. All pres- ent report a very enjoyable get- together.

Last' fall the child- ren decided that they would give Christmas presents to someone who would not be sending any back, having learned that "it is better to give than to receive". They decided to help orphans of the Korean. war. Padre F/L L. Mould, Green- wood, contacted G/C Robert Frayne, Principal RCAF Protes- tant Chaplain, at Headquarters, who in turn consulted transport officials and the parcels were airlifted on a space available basis to Haneda airport, Japan, by 426 Thunderbird Squadron. There the Army Chaplain took over and had them delivered to the orphanage. Outstanding Speaker Discusses 'anon On CA Course .

Mack, Senior Medical Of- ficer, the little tots are - given medical examinations and in- noculations. Although candies are provided for the children, the crying heard testifies for healthy lungs and normal fears. One of the first young patrons of the clinic amused Dr. Mack and Nurse Dorothy Graff. The four-year-old was having his hearing tested. When asked by the doctor if he could hear the ticking of a watch held a few inches from his ear, the youngster replied: "Yes, but . I can't tell time, yet." 42 YEARS MARRIED BELGRAVE — Mr. and Mrs. John E. McCallum, Beigrave, celebrated their 42nd wedding anpiversary at a party• held at their home. Sgt. Jack Varaleau, the Brit- ish Empire light heavlweight weightlifting champion, is back at work today as a physieal train ing instructor at RCAF Station, Clinton, after a week's annual leave. Jack arranged ,his holi- days so that he could attend the Summer Olympic Game Trials held at Drummondville, Que., on April 5. - In the light heavyweight weightlifting' competition he took top honours to exceed his prev- ious British Empire lifting total and become a member of Can- ada'e weight-lifting team which will go to Helsinki, Finland, in July for the Summer Olympic Games, Sgt. .Varaleau's score for the three official lifts was: Press, 250 lbs,; Snatch, 255 lbs.; Clean and Jerk, 310 lbs.; Total, 815 lbs. This was his official score but actually his total was higher. "I had to lift 800 lbs. to make the team," explains Jack. "Al- though my official total was 815, the bar was two pounds over- weight in each of the three lifts so that I actually lifted 821 pounds. I am 'very happy with the results -and so are the of- ficials of the Amateur Weight Lifting Association. I have much better form now that I ever had and I am sure I can do better in the Olympic Games than I did in 1948 when I placed sixth to win a point for Canada."
