Tonight at Arena
The RCAF Clinton Electras
romped home to the Garrison Lea-
gue top spot andwill now engage
in a semi-final playoff series with
the London Army garrison team.
The first game of this series will
be played ar the Clinton Lions
Arena on Thursday, February 11,
at 9.00 p.m.
The games of this series will be
real sizzling hockey .and will de-
cidedly settle who will be the
league champions. Judging from
the Electras'. past games •it will
take an all-out effort, on the part
of the Army team to beat them.
A good turnout is expected from
boththe and C and the Army
R S
n
followers from London. The Sta-
tion band will•be in attendance to
enliven the game, andalso to boost
the Electras in their efforts.
The Garrison League is compris-
ed of teams from RCAF Station
Crumlin, RCAF Station Centralia,
Navy Prevost London and RCAF
Station. Clinton.
is at once obvious that, the Flight
Simulator plays a very significant
part in the economics of pilot
training.
The estimated operating cost of
the Sabre Flight Simulator, before
depreciation, is a fraction of, that
required for the actual aircraft.'
Their use also means that less
aircraft time is needed for train-
ing and consequently fewer air-
craft. It must also be remember-
ed that a "crash" in the Simulator
causes no harm.
From another aspect the use of
Flight Simulators means that
pilots ban be put through conver-
sion courses for a new type of air-
craft before it is delivered to a
squadron—a potent argument for
the supply of Flight Simulators
for particular aircraft types, be-
fore the aircraft themselves come
into service.
There can be no doubt that the
training. time factor—always -sig-
nificant—can be reduced very con-
siderably indeed.

Wise gave the financial report.
During the month of January,

Mrs. Stewart Middleton gave
the scripture reading and an inter-

very sweetly as a request number.
Miss Stella' Marquis, Clinton,
special guest speaker, held a very
attentive audience enthralled with
her account of her trip to England
to see the Coronation. She did not
dwell largely on the Coronation
itself as so much has been said and
written thereon but gave vivid
personal impressions of the country
and her forays into famous spots
such as Stratford -on -Avon; Blen-
heim, the seat of the Dukes
of Marlborough; Gloucester
Cathedral, etc. Forgotten were
the zero conditions and deep
snows as everyone was transplant-
ed to England's springtime with
its flowering hedges, park -like
farms and burgeoning lime trees.
The highlight of her trip was,
of course, seeing the lovely young
Queen pass by in her glittering
golden coach surrounded by all the
pageantry attendant on the 'Cor-
onation.
Mrs. Fred Middleton very grac-
iously moved a hearty vote of
thanks to Miss Marquis, voicing
the appreciation of all privileged
to hear her. Miss Holland favored
with another lovely solo, "The
Miracle of the Bells". A bounteous
lunch and social period concluded
a very Special meeting.

This is ' a week which should -furnish,
,l
memories, good and bad,but certainly vivid,
for the re.utest henvywe ht warrior of mod-
ern tarries, the Manassas Mauler, Jack Deme-
seY•
On February13, 1917,Jack Dempsey
„a •
suffered the onlyknockout defeat ofhis
career, when Fireman Jim Flynn, a rough,
tough character out of Pueblo, Colorado, flattened him with -
one devastating punch. But on February 14, 1918, a Dempsey
who had fouhd himself and was whirling upward took ample
revenge. He dropped his erstwhile conqueror, also with a
single punch, in a match that was scheduled for ten rounds,
but went only a small fraction of one.
"I wasn't muck mere than a midtlleweighb the first time
I boxed Fireman Flynn", Dempsey told me years later. "I. ,
was 22 years old. ' (Dempsey was born June 24, 1895), I didn't
know much about boxing, really, I started fighting in 1915,
won some fights under the name of Kid Blackie, some more
under my own name. But I was just a journeyman fighter,
not too much interested in the trade. And when I was knocked
out by Flynn, a powerful fellow and a cagey fighter who knew -
much too much for me, I was just on the verge of quitting
the ring game entirely.
"Then Jack Kearns came along. Under Kearns I learned
how to fight, how to box a little; how to use a left hand.
Then I began to really fight. I found a style, a bob -and -weave
type of fighting that was something different. I scored a lot
of knockouts; lost a decision to Willie Meehan, but I was on
my way, taking on bigger and better foes."
The fact is that the miraculous Dempsey fought for four
years before he finally began to- look like somebody of im-
portance. In his ,n
early days he had some terrific fights with
specimens like the burly Negro John Lester Johnson, Battling
Jim Johnson, Andre Anderson, Wild Bert Kenney, Andy Malloy
and many other tough foes. Some of his battles lasted 20
rounds.
His later battles are stili remembered as epics, the mad
assault on the giant Jess Willard, the furious melee with Luis
Angel Firpo, the Wild Bull of the Pampas, and those ttwo
fights with Gene Tunney in which Dempsey made more friends
indefeat than he ever had in victory.
That's the fantastic Dempsey story, one of the great
legends of sport in bur times, a. legend we recall, because this
is the anniversary of the week when he was on the verge of
giving up thegamein which lie became an unforgettable figure.
Your comments and suggestions for fleh column will he welcomed
