0 Hundreds of hockey followers cheered
silently when, a few weeks ago, six new
noiu'nees to the mythical Hockey Hall of
Fame included such semi -moderns as "Old
Poison" Nets Stewart, and free -wheeling
Bill Cook, Six itt all were named, and the
other four, while not so well known to
modern followers of the game, revived nosta'gic memories among
older enthusiasts who remember hockey in its formative years. Por
the names of "Dickie" Boon, "Moose" Coheen, "Micltey" Mac-
Itay and "Moose" Johnson were as well known in their day as the
Richards, Rowes, and other stars of today.
It is extraordinary that the genticlnent who make these num
'Mations should have overlooked Stewart so long. For it is 12
years since he completed hockey's most productive chore, by Scor
ang 324 goals in 15 seasons of play with three different clubs.
It is 26 years since Stewart scored 34 goals in his first year,
when only 36 games were played, a mark never since achieved
by any rookie, won the Hart trophy his first year, and led his
Montreal Maroon team to the Stanley Cup and the O'Brien Cup.
We claim that no such combination of feats has ever been recorded
before, and possibly never will again.
They called"hhn Old Poison) because this big, seemingly indolent
player who skated with such deceptive laziness was sheer po!son
to goalers, and baffling to defense players. For an entire season,
Stewart fooled practically everybody. HIe skated so casually, in
his easy-going way, into the midst of things, and suddenly, the
puck would be nestling in the opposing nets, and Stewart would
be credited with another goal. And the dean -panned centre would
skate slowly away, still chewing thoughtfully on his gum.
Stewart was a big fellow, Six feet ha height, he weighed 200
pounds, was game to a degree, and opposing players whoyear
after year, tried to shoulder him out of scoring range found them-
selves Bouncing off his stalwart frame. He had thick, powerful
wrists, was quick as a cat when the puck hit his stick, and could
whip it away with uncanny accuracy.
Bill. Cook was the trigger -man for Rangers Cook -Boucher
Cook line, one of the finest in hockey history. A swinging, long
striding skater, Cook seemed to be skating in circles, but that
was the type of play this threesome used so effectively. This for-
ward line slid passes while going full speed, and always there
was someone there to pick up the pass, and throw a deadly accurate
shot. Mostly these apparently pointless passes found their way
to Bill's stick, and then it was every goaler for himself. Cooly
played until he was in his 40's. On durability alone, he rated
something.

AMIIERSTBURO, ONTARIO
As is usual at this time of the
year, the men who have access
to Grey Cup tickets—or are sus-
pected of having such access—
are beginning to hunt'for cyclone
cellars or other hiding places
where they can take refuge till
the storm blows over. Some say
that if there were sufficient ac-
commodation at Varsity Stadium
more than 100,000 would attend
the great December classic — a
statement which we greatly
doubt. Still, the demand for
tickets certainly does exceed the
supply, and there will be the
usual numbers of squawkers and
belly-achers when the precious
pasteboards are finally doled out.

But if the men behind the Grey
Cup thing have their troubles
and griefs, how would you like
to be the guy in charge of an
arena where more than 100,000
nuts annually do turn out. We
refer, of course, to the California
Rose Bowl affair—and here are
some of the things that the man
behind has to put uI' with as re-
ported by Frank Waldman in
The Christian Science Monitor,

The dog that invariably runs
out onto the playing field during
almost every college football
game of any consequence is a
minor nuisance as far as Bill
Nicholas is concerned. The in-
quisitive animal, perhaps eager
for a closer view of the line of
scrimmage, causes him not one
fraction the concern that do some
of Bill's two -legged customers.

As general manager of Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum and
President of Pasadena's Tourna-
ment of Roses Association, Bill
Nicholas this year will play host
to more of football -going Amer-
ica than any other man in the
country. It is a job of which he
is inordinately fond. It is also
a job beset with problems.
5 5 5
"Right now the most grief and
'thought is being given to control
of the kids who come to our
games," Bill conceded. "Why
they come is a mystery to me.
They're not interested in the ball
games. They create disturbances,
they climb a''1. over, they throw
things. They get restless and run
around and when they do that
they disturb our other patrons.
We have guards, matrons, and
porters to help control them but
we aren't having much success.
And unless the situation im-
proves we are going to ,have to
put our foot down and just keep
the kids out."
Nicholas's troubles are not
confined to members of the
younger generation. There was,
for example, the night immedi-
ately before tickets went on sale
for the 1947 Rose Bowl Game.
It rained that evening In fact,
it poured. Long before daybreak
the thousands who had stood in
line like so many oxen waiting
for the ticket booths to open
were soaked to. the skin.

Korean Status—Newsmap shows where the U.N. forces recaptu ed

Communist probing attacks were repulsed near the Punchbowl,
and as far east as Kosong near the coast.
What's In 1t Per Me?—Candy, two-year-old infant elephant at the
Zoo, checks pockets of trainer Neal Dapolite for her favorite tidbit,
carrots, a liking she shares with Bugs Bunny. Candy is destined
to work for a living, will be trained to carry children on her back

around the zoo enclosures and picks Dapolite's pockets regularly
for the well -loved vegetables.
dena cross the way, they built
fires. They aid it to provide
warmth and shelter. The only
trouble was that for firewood
they used several Coliseum
benches that were the property
of the Park epartnient. If it is
any consolation to the City pur-
chasing agent, they burned beau-
tifully.

It is too bad you cannot read
Bill Nicholas's mail, at least some
of it, Recently he received a letter
from a professor at one of the
local universities. Bill's corres-
pondent had a complaint, one
which he felt was a legitimate
one. Seemed his daughter had sat
adjacent to the student rooting
section at a Coliseum football
game where a rooter had spilled,
slopped, poured, dripped, and
otherwise cascaded portions of
the beverage he was endeavoring
to drink upon the person of said
professor's descendant. Obliging-
ly, the professor had included in
his letter a notation of a $2.50
cleaning bill. Would the Coliseum
please remit cash for same?
* 5 5
"We didn't, of course," Nicho-
las laughed. "We're not liable
for claims like that, 1lthough we
do carry public liability insur-
ance up to $2,000,000."
* * *
Like every theatre and rail-
road terminal, every airport and
large, municipal building, the
Coliseum has a thriving lost and
found department. Not surpris-
ingly, the biggest commodity and
the greatest turnover is in child-
ren.
"They are always getting lost,"
Nicholas moaned.
* * a
Lest the man be accused of
anti -juvenile tendencies, let it
be pointed out that the general
manager has two children of his
own, a boy and a girl. They are
polite and well-mannered. After
what their father has to put up
with at his Coliseu, they had
better be!
Priceless Carpet
Kissed To Spreads
When ex -King Farouk bowed
to the dictates of General Ne-
guib, he relinquished something
more than his royal titles of
King of Egypt avid Sovereign of
Nubia, of Kordofan and of Dur -
far. Ile also boasted the claim
of former rulers of Egypt to be
a "Protector of the Holy Places
of Islami"
In the past the great Moslem
princes of the East asserted their
rights .to the guardianship of
Mohammed's birthplace by the
annual despatch of a splendid
caravan to accompany the stream
of pilgrims to Mecca. In the
centre of the cavalcade ambled
a gorgeously caparisoned riding
cannel, But no one rode on its
back. The empty litter symbol-
ized the spiritual presence of its
powerful owner.
Of these mahmal caravans,
none was richer or more impres-
sive than that of the King of
Egypt. For, guarded by thou-
sands of soldiers, the camel
train regularly carried an enor-
mous black silk carpet, em-
blazoned with gold -embroidered
texts from the Koran, Gift of
Farouk, this outsized carpet, call-
ed the kiswa, was destined ,to
cover the Kaaba, or holy of
holies in Mecca.
But the carpet soon wore out.
At the end of their pilgrimage,
fanatical crowds swum round
the Kaaba, all trying to kiss the
sacred shrine, As each tattered
covering was replaced, it was
cut up and distributed among
the Faithful.
Dispatched from Cairo with
gun salutes, bands playing and
flags waving, Farouk's carpet
gifts to Mecca have set him back
something like $150,000 a time.
But if Egypt's gift -bearing
caravan of MeccetaoiGSuBzaoin
caravan appears no more the holy
city of Mecca is unlikely to suf-
fer. For, to the coffers of King
Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia, the
swarming pilgrims still bring
millions of dollars annually.
With the money thus received
and the revenues from his oil
wells, Ibn Saud is modernizing
Mecca. Houses and flats are
springing up in the city! Elec-
tric fans have been installed
around the great mosque to cool
devotees, and the building is
floodlighted at night.
There are no movies in Saudi
Arabia, and fun fairs and
amusement parks are strictly
taboo. But there is no ban on
football. Every Friday the stadi-
um outside the holy city is pack-
ed with white -robed fans cheer-
ing on the home team.
Mouthful — Maureen Connolly,
Pacific Southwest Tennis Tourna-
ment star, is not taking a big
bite from her tennis ball. Actual-
ly, she is followingthrough on
a return shot and the ball is on
its way back to her opponent,
Doris Hart. Camera - coincidence
creates the choking illusion.
GOOD EXCUSE
A barber arrived at the shop
very late, and his boss asked for
an explanation. "I was shaving
myself," said the barber, "and
before I realized it I talked my-
self into a haircut and sham-
poo."
