Their ail -year home is in Montreal. The Babe was born in Platteville, and would have reached his 85th birthday on January 14. His parents moved soon to Dashwood where he first attended school. His education was completed at Zurich continuation school• and before he could choose a business career he was on the road to fame in hockey.

A Montreal sport writer, Elmer Ferguson. says: The fans of the National Hockey lea- gue circuit will remember hint, no doubt, as a great, broad -shouldered giant of a squar'e- hinned man, with cool and fearless eyes, who rode through his plays with the com- plete confidence ghat power begets. Those Who saw him In his later lays will Carry n picture of his unmoved saint and delibera- tion, eoupled with split-second efficiency. They'll remember how he i Iaeked out the gtosition steadily' and competently, using his weight and strength and balance to .wtwekers off to the std', spiking the guns of attack.

These phases of the great hockey play- er will remain as vivid and compellingmem- ories to those who admired the power and skill which Albert "Babe" Siebert hurled Into Ills play as a hot-blooded. belligerent and tireless youngster with an iron -ribbed frame. t pugnacious chin. and an endless supply of vitality and power packed intoa bier body that seemed to be composed of cement and whipcord in equal Proportions. In those days. he was a bustling rookie with flaring temper, hair-trigger puymaoity, tempestuous style, all tempered by tremendous class and courage. In later days his grim pugnacity was cooled by experience: he conserved his power, mov- ed about with calm confidence. steadiness, a Gibraltar reek. These things the hockey fans of yesterday and today the length and breadth of the Na- tional league are likely to cherish. A vets fine memory, tea.
