While this was going on, the flags were being flown at half mast in New York. Casey's version. of "send in the other feller" and "hit them where they ain't" ran aground Sunday as the Yanks ran out of "other fellers' and couldn't hit a barn door with a steam shovel. We took in the twin bill on Sunday and a single performance on Saturday between 'Washing- ton Senators and the 'Tigers and the difference in Detroit's two performances was like night and day. Saturday, under Bill Norman, the Bengals looked like the Detroit hockey club. But Sunday, man oh man, were they hot on the Sabbath! About a week ago before our excursion into Uncle Sam's country, we gave Norman a week to last, so it didn't surprise us in the least when he got fired. When the Tigers played Washington Sat- urday, they were awful. Any Triple "A" club could have beaten them. After we talked with Norman for the first time last fall, we weren't too impressed with his statements. After seeing what he said about the club after receiving the heave-ho, now we're sure our first impressions of the big guy were right. Ap- pearing in a DiAlkoit paper, Norman's statement came out as follows: "It hurts, gentlemen, but I still think I'm a good manager. We played sound ball but didn't win. I can't tell you why we didn't win. The players hustled and gave me all they had. I have no com- plaint there.' We wonder what the word "hustle" means in Norman's viewpoint. Saturday, the only player that showed signs of life on the field was Al Kaline. The fans rallied with a chorus of boos practically all through the game. Two guys out in the centre field bleachers called it a day and took a nap in the sun while the game was being played. Where will it all end? We still say the Tigers are at least good enough for fourth place. The Yanks, holy mackerel, are they in trouble! WE'RE LUCKY CANADA IS HOME SWEET HOME We came across a very interesting article in a Brampton paper, written by Ken Giles after an in- terview with Ike Hilderbrand, coach of the world famous Belleville MacFarlands. Living in Canada, we take our freedom for granted and expect nothing else. Little do we know what lies on the other side of this world. In times like this yours truly thinks it's a goo -d thing to have players from this Fide of 'the globe travel to the beyond and actually Fee what does exist. Bringing back the info such as Ike and his players have done .in his interview, we're sure it should make many Canadians sit back and feel thankful. Hildebrand passed the following info on to Giles. "Behind the Iron Curtain we found a sup- pressed and depressed people. They wanted the team from the free world to win and were cheering for us all the way as they knew that they were unable to beat the Russians and rated Canada as being the only club capable of defeating the Russians. Political , pressure is very tense. You can't realize just how tense until you find yourself there. In 'Prague we found the buildings drab and clothing made from dull materials, even though we were told that things had been brightened up for the tournament. It was very disheartening and it was quite a job to keep up our club's spirit. We travelled 10,000 miles and played 31 games, just losing one, that to the Czecks. "The loss to the Czecks carne after we had practically sewed up the tournament with our win over Russia. It was hard to keep the boys fired up for that game. They got the jump on us and some penalties made it tough, with the result we lost the game. However, in three exhibition games with the same team, following the tournament, even after some .of our players had returned home, we had no trouble defeating them. "I believe the Russians to be more of a pro- fessional club than some of our clubs in the United States and Canada. They play hockey 11 months of the year and are all commissioned officers in the Russian army, holding the rank of lieutenant or higher. Body checking, as you all know, was taboo, but hooking and slashing were let go. We soon learned to hook and slash along with the rest. "The exhibition tour prior to the tournament is necessity, but I believe it was too long. The boys were tired and ready to come home before the tournament actually got under way. When We weren't playing hockey, we were either grabbing a few hours sleep or travelling. You could buy fresh fruit in Prague, but only if you had Canadian' or American money. We had been told by members of the Canad- ian embassy that our hotel rooms would be wired. This was hard to believe, but it was true. When we placed a call out of our hotel, it took an hour or more to get the party we were calling. Our inter- pretors were afraid to speak too freely, and were very careful of what they were saying in case it night be overheard and taken the wrong way. They bad 2, habit of always looking behind them before speaking. Military police followed us everywhere. "Banquets followed practically every game we played and as we were serving as goodwill ambas- sadors for Canada, it was only right we attend. We did, sometimes not getting back to our hotels until four in the morning. Was there a celebration follow- ing our victory over the Russians? No! There was no place to celebrate,. "TV commercials as you see them between. the periods in the Stanley Cup games here are not like those shown on the networks behind the Iron Curtain. In a commercial you would see "Do You Want This?" Then flashing on the TV screen would cerne some Russian children doing exercises; or "Do You Want This?" Appearing 011 the screen would coine a Scene from Little ROck, Arkansas. Our trip did one thing for all of us if nothing more, 'It made better Canadians of all of us'l" 1 .....,........................................................... i.ornish, Mitchell '48( Co.

The first band he was con- nected with was in Zurich. When four years old, Keith started his musical talents on the piano and received a prize at a- music fes- tival in Goderich for his playing, Not all sports ,Although deeply interested in sports, Keith. is not entirely sports minded. He is active in many groups within the school. including cadets, athletic society, drama club and the school or- chestra, "Canada's greatest opportunity for her youth is founded in the very principles of our govern- ment and religion; our right of franchise and of free choice." These were Keith Hodgins' words when being chosen as South Huron's student for the Leaders' Club. Keith feels that many thrill- ing events must occur to a stu- dent during his or her four years of high school. The event that he found most interesting came on a bus trip to Toronto with other students. The group toured the Casa Loma and parliament buildings. An exciting climax to the outing came when the group visited the Royal Winter Fair, Pole vault artist Keith's most 'thrilling experi- erne' in the world of sport came last fall when he won the Perth - ex Conference intermediate boys pole vault jump event at St. Marys. Not only did he win the event, but be was the only South Huron male student to win a first in the track and field events throughout the afternoon. Keith found the jumps very difficult and several times dur- ing the elimination process of raising the crossbar a few inches, he found that he could only clear it on the third try. Finally, with the crossbar at nine feet, Keith and his most -feared competitor were the only ones left in the running. Keith attempted the jump three times and finally made in on his third try. The other competitor attempted the jump three times but never cleared the bar and this gave Keith the first place ribbon and the right to compete in WOSSA competition this spring.
