THECalvert SPORTS COLUMN aaaaaavaa ••••iaa-aaaca. seffiet 9e49,44040 The other day we happened across a re- minder that February 10 was the 15th anni- versary of the occasion on which Aurel Joliat played his 700th game for Canadiens in the National Hockey League. Could this 700 be a mis-print? :we wondered. For ,700 games is a lot of hockey games. Was it possible that a sickly little fellow, whose ailing stomach often revolted at food, whose weight dropped down, on occasion, to a puny 135 pounds, could have survived that long in a gruelling, hard-hitting game played mostly by men whose weight ranged, on the average from 160 to beyond 200? Was it possible that starting in the days of 24 -game schedules, he could have squeezed in that much competition? Yes, all this was possible. For Aurel Joliet was one of the wonders of hockey. He came into the N.H.L. in 1922, a virtual unknown. On Canadiens' roster waa Newsy Lalonde, famous from coast to coast, a player of tremendous craft and skill, whose feats were legion, his name a househeld word. And so, when it was announced in the summer of 1922, that Canadiens had traded the great Lalonde to the Saskatoon club, for an unknown youngster, whose only hockey exper- ience had been in junior ranks, the sports world was stunned, unbelieving. It seemed impossible. But then, as it turned out, everything about Joliat seemed. impossible. From the start, this little pale -faced left-winger, who invariably wore a black peaked cap down over his" eyes, was sensational. A pygmy among giants, he became the elusive will o' the wisp of hockey. He could spin on the traditional dime. His stick -handling baffled his opponents. And when, in desperation his foeman sought to eliminate him by body - checks, they found hint to be the little man who wasn't there. A great goaler of the era once told me that Joliet was, the most dangerous sniper of his day, because of his accur- acy, rather than speed of shut. The records support this. .For in 16 seasons of League play, he scored 270 goals, ex- actly the same number as compiled by his illustrious team- mate, Howie Morenz. A strangely -contrasting pair, Joliat at left wing, Morenz aentre. The silent, tight-lipped Joliat was smooth, skil- ful, but unobtrusive, Morenz a flaring bundle of' spectacular speed. For eleven consecutive seasons they formed a re- markable partnership, Usually, the centre makes the plays in hockey. But so great was 30liat's skill and craft, that at left wing, he was the play -maker who fed Merenz the puck for the rifling drives fired by the Stratford Streak. A paradox of hockey was the Magniicent Mite Joliat, physically handicapped, but one of the *great instinctive artists of the game, one of the Great Little Men who furnish brilliant chapters in every sport.
