Anytime you begin to feel that the years may be catching up with You, or even passing you, think of Willie Hoppe, who won another billiards champion- ship the other day. Maybe a ball player or fighter is an "old 35 man • at . Once upon a time a .track athlete who survived 30" was a miracle. You may be greeted with a negative shake of the head when you solicit a job at the age of 40. Doc Osier (wonder what became of the Doc?) want- ed to chloroform us all at 00. But don't let such gloomy thoughts depress you. Sport, which is one of the common denominators of our life and times, points a few examples to prove that middle age isn't necessarily the end of everything. And we' think Willie Hoppe, king of the billiards world, is one of the most notable of these. Willie started his career away back in the nineties, which were not necessarily gay. He was then a lad in short trousers. He was so tiny he had to stand on a box to cue the ball while playing, so they called him "The Soap Box Champion." Even then his father, who was coaching him, had big things in view. And he had a fine subject to work with, because Willie took orders like a soldier. He had a genius for hard practice. And the result began to bear rich fruit at an early age. They took Hoppe to France, where balkline billiards was at its peak. They had "academies" where fans wa'gered freely on cue matches. And great men played in them. One was Vignaux, the champion. At 17 Hoppe defeated Vignaux. He became world champion. And thereafter he became such an outstanding ex- ponent of his craft that he remained champion for 17 years, From the "Soap Box Champion" be became "The Boy Wonder", Now, in his sixties, he's still champion at his trade, after recovering from a nervous breakdown that threatened to end his playing career. It took two or three years to cure it. So, as we said, don't let the years get you down. We could wade into the statistics to show you that Clarence DeMar was a marathon champion in his forties; that Bob Fitzelnunons was still a world heavyweight boxing champion at 36, and that Jersey Joe Walcott, the present champion, according to some estimates, is now 45 years old. And then there was Bill Cook, surviving World War I, and a couple of years campaigning on other war fronts after that, who came back to take up his' hockey stick with New York Rangers and, in his forties, win recognition as one of hockey's great right wings of all ti=ne. And there was Big Bill Tilden who, in his forties too, could beat practically all the younger stars on the tennis courts. And little Aurel Joliet, who played hockey for 17 consecutive seasons with Canadiens, and Eugene Tremblay, probably the greatest wrestler Canada ever produced, who in his fifties was almost unbeatable among the lightweights. So don't tat the years get you down. A lot of folk have been able to rise above the shadows of Time.
