MAJOR JACK DRENNAN

WILL BE GUEST SPEAKER
AU this was caused by the
action of one pldyer who, in the
dying moments of the game,
took an angered look at his op
ponent, wielded his stick in a
deliberate manner with two
hands, straight for the face and
head of his opposing player. The fofee with which the stick struck
could be heard above the yelling
of the crowd, most of whom
were watching the play at a dif
ferent part of the rink. The
struck player fell like a cattle
beast would “when struck by an
axe”, blood pouring from the
wound. In a few moments he be
gan to struggle in an insensible
manner on the ice. The player
was carried from the ice. The
crowd was left stunned and sad
dened by the
the attacker.
What was
unpardonable
that his team
would stop at nothing? Was it
that the player he attacked had
aggravated him or checked him
illegally? Was he spurred on by
his coach and management to
perform anything to stem the
tide of defeat? If he attributes
it to any of these causes, no
action of this type was justified
under any circumstances.
I have followed sport for over
30 years, have participated a
little hit in some of the rougher
and tougher games such as la
crosse and rugby. In all these
years I have never witnessed a
deliberate action of this type
either watching a game or in
playing it.
Are the managements of our
sporting teams urging their
players on to rash actions? Are
they defending players’ attacks
on opponents? If they are, they
become accomplices to the act.
Every excuse of an attack of
this type would make one think
they condone such acts. These
mar sport!
Do the men at the head of
these teams realize the good
part they can play in moulding
the lives of these young men?
They are looked up to by their
players for guidance and advice.
Let us hope these men are big
enough for their jobs and will
take action in this case to show
the public that they will not
stand for such unpardonable acts
by one of their players or not.
The public are anxiously await
