HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1951-02-08, Page 6SPORT r1 t txatTCit4 Ever ,since they brought in the "no overtime' rule in hockey we have been kicking mildly and, of Course, fruitlessly. We had two reasons for making such protests, The first eves that the cash cos•• touters pay to see a contest played to a finish, and that when a g.une ends in a stalemate they don't get full value for their money. * * %3 Ch'•s view, which we are by no means alone in holding, was laugh ed at by the top brass, Up to a couple of seasons back Most big league rinks had more customers than they had accommodation and if they were satisfied, who were the rest of us to be squawking? ("The customer is always right" may be the motto in some lines of 'business, but in the sports dodge, the only time he gets con- sideration is when he starts staying away in large numbers.) * * ,k Our other reason for not lik- ing the "easy draw" system was that it increased the possibility of so111e team, some time, scraping into the playoffs without having won a single game. (You don't think this could happen? Well, as of this writing, the New York Rangers ale just two points out of the fourth, or final playoff position; and over one-third of their 41 points have come from Mexican standoffs el• ties.) * ,k 0 When this point was brought up we were informed by all the high-power executives, and all their high-pressure mouthpieces, that supposing they did allow, say, a ten minute overtime period, there would be just as big a percentage of draws at the end of seventy minutes as we now have at the end of sixty. We listened. We held still. And if some of us were saying to our- selves "Oh Yeah!" we were doing so under the breath. But now at would appear as if we could say it -as well as "Sez Youl" right out loud -that is, if statistics re- cently released by the American Hockey League have any meaning. * * * Officials of the American Hockey League this season restored the overtime period "to cut down the tie games." (It is interesting to note hat the AHL was hit by the plague of wide open spaces of empty pews earlier and harder than the National.) If neither team scores in the ten minute eeetra session the game is a tie; but it ends im- mediately if either club gets a goal' before then. * * * And has it worked? Well, the nine clubs of the American League, up to January 25th, had played only 38 tie games this season. The National League - which has no overtime provision and only six clubs - had played sixty ties. Maybe President Clarence Camp- bell of the NHL can explain it as merely a coincidence, or some such. Maybe not. * One thing Campbell or •any of the other big league apologists cannot get away from is the fact that, one evening a couple of weeks ago, Chicago Black Hawks played to a grand total of 6,122 persons --slimmest crowd since they moved into the giant Stadium 23 years ago. Now they're trying to say that the sole reason or this is the poor showing that the Hawks have been making this season. m * * As to that, Chicago has had lousy teams for years -more of that sort than good ones -and yet. season after season, they enjoyed sellout attendances. So isn't there just a bare possibility that there's something wrong with the game itself, the way they've tinkered Losing By A Head -- English jockey E. Mumford appeared to be attempting a headstand as he fell from his nlount;du ing a recent handicap steeplechase at Birmingham, England. Neither Mumford or the horse, Culworth Lass, were seriously injured. with it and gimmicked it up. "Too little and too late" was a states- man's way of summing up a certain with it and gimmicked it up? "Too much and too soon" is our per- sonal idea of what ails hockey, It's a great game, although possibly "the fastest sport on earth" is a slight exaggeration, But even were it twice as good a game as it is, it still wouldn't be strong enough to slop over into the baseball season at both ends, and especially in a coun- try where, to ninety per cent of the population, it is still an alien pas- time. * * * Which is just what hockey has been attempting to do. Go Without Sleep If You Want To Get Fat Research statistics show that with longer. nights you go to bed a little earlier and perhaps sleep a little sounder. Physicists have been .puzzled by the riddle of sleep. Now the searchlight of •science is flashing into the darkness in which we spend a third of our lives. The re- searchers have even discovered the source of sleep. They have proved we never sleep like logs and they declare that we dream every night, Whether we remember the dream or not. Deep down at the back of the skull is an organ no larger than this printed lettering. It is the centre of sleep. While we slumber it is awake and alert. When it drowses we resume activity. The. sleep centre must wake before we sleep. Scientist's proved this when they brought a fine platinum .yvire into contact with the sleep centre of a dog and administered a mild electric shock. Instead of the dog leaping into startled action, he.. im- mediately went to sleep. Medical men have believed for a long time that drowsiness is caused by carbonic acid gas in the blood, consequent upon the slowing down of the blood stream. They have watched sleeping persons as in cas- es in which the skull has been trephined (opened) and the brains exposed to view. The heart beats more slowly, the blood pressure falls, the brain is left with a poor blood supply. This -happens and you are asleep. If only we knew how, perhaps we could measure and weigh that something in the blood. That the blood itself becomes charged with sleep was proved when a dog was kept awake for a considerable per- iod, A sample of blood from the sleepy dog was injected into an- other which was wide awake. Promptly the second dog went to sleep. The existence of a "Sleeping es- sence" seemed similarly to be indi- cated when experimenters subjected a number of students to wakeful- ness tests. At the end of four days without sleep the students were SSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. In bed 5. Gifts to charity 9. Run between ports 12. Certain 1.8. Earth 14. Feminine name 16. Book of the Bible 17.

Some people need less sleep than others because they sleep faster! Edison could be content with two or three hours of sleep because his physical exhaustion and mental tiredness were repaired at a higher pace than those who need a good deal of sleep. In a laboratory at the- Mellon Institute, Pittsburg, not long ago, student slept on beds with automa- tic recording machines linked to the springs. Every nromement was faithfully noted and, at the same time, a robot cine -camera photo- graphed the sleeper every time he slipped into a fresh position. The investigation showed, that the normal person, in first-class health, moves at least 36 times during the night and rarely remains still for longer than eight minutes at a time. Excessive heating or a heavy supper increase the movement. If a sleeper sleeper moves too little, due to over -fatigue, his muscles become cramped and he's stiff when he awakes.
