The Seaforth News, 1952-02-21, Page 2THECaIVert SPORTS COLUMN EIev i'ervw ottu•it (P COURAGE IN the sports world is like Christmas packages, It comes in assorted wrappings, some in gaudy covering, with glittering ribbons, some modestly reserved. Some courage is physical. The late George Iiainsworth, Shut Out King a£ his day, played an entire game for Canadiens one one night with blood dripping slowly down his sweater front. His nose had been broken by a practise shot just before the game started. Ching Johnson played for Rangers with a broken jaw, partially protected by a steel cage that covered his head and face, Eddie Shore played with one ear dangling, his nose broken, teeth knocked out, Some courage k mental. There's the player afflicted with an inferiority complex who rallies his faltering courage and fights not only the opposition, but his own fears and uncertain- ties. 'There's the player who carries on in the face of heart- breaking family tragedy. And all these constitute courage. But you can't measure -physical courage and hardihood as against the less -spectacular but equally gallant trental courage. So we're not going to say that a little fellow named Gerry McNeil, who guards the nets for Canadiens iu the National Hockey League is the most courageous athlete of the !month or year. !'here may be scores of other lads who faced situations cost as bleak, and rode across the barriers just as gallantly, We're not making comparisons. We're merely here to record what we thought was a throat -catching bit of sports heroism, of the quiet fortitude that is the stamp of true valor. McNeil is a sentimental boy. He is an only child, His mother had been ill for a long time, her death was a certainty,' a mere matter of time. This is a plight calculated to unnerve the stoutest ;morale. But game after game, McNeil played, and played well, despite the shadowy spectre of death hovering nearby. The blow came one night just as Canadiens were starting for a two -game road trip, in Detroit and Chicago in turn. But McNeil, sadly shaken by the news, even though not unexpected, refused to leave the team. His face actually tear -stained, he played in Detroit, put up a fine game and Canadiens won, The team went on to Chicago. There he played brilliantly, though in between periods he couldn't keep back the tears, But he scored a shut -out. lle arrived back in time to reach Quebec City and be present at his mother's funeral, a trying ordeal in itself. There was a game in Montreal that very night against Toronto Leafs. The club management feeling that McNeil deserved a rest to recover poise, offered to get a replacement. But McNeil declined, "The replacement knight be hotter than ole, but it might upset the team when we're going well,' he said. "I'll play." And play he did. His mates fought savagely to protect McNeil. Only 15 shots were thrown at him, though Leafs boast the second-best scoring line the League, the Kennedy -Sloan - Smith combine. Canadiens won, 3-1. And when the game was over, it wasn't around the goal scorers that the players gathered. It was around McNeil, shaking his hand, and pounding him on the back, a tribute to courage, to a trouper who had most gallantly upheld the ancient slogan of sport and the theatre. The Show Must Go On. Your comments and suggestions for fhis column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert Hoose, 431 Yonge St., Toronto. CaLvit a DISTILLERS LIMITED AK,HERSTBURG, ONTARIO The Arctic Isn't As Cold As You Think Mention the Arctic, and what do you think of An immense stretch of barren land, shrouded in silence and deep in the snows of ever- lasting winter: Probably, for that is the popular conception. But in reality the Arctic is a friendly land, teeming with life and sound. One northern territory, Greenland, is covered with glaciers. and from it the rest of the Arctic has been drawn by comparison. The geography of Greenland puts it in an entirely different class from the rest of the .Arctic, for farther north a sea of comparative- ly warm water underlies the polar ice and forms a natural radiator which prevents tt-e temperature falling woo low. An explorer named Meehan[ discovered an island five hundred ashes north of the Artie Circle. Here he reporter stumbling across green fields which reminded hips of English meadows. Peary tthe first man to reach the Nath colon descerdiag from the inland ice to the coast, found musk oxen grazing in green and flowered meadows at: id the song of birds and hum of bees. This may give seine idea of the lie existniet in he far North Herds c. c' . ar . wolves roan the 1.,,, gra.slar:.. There are the white and blue polar foxes, the Iemnsings, owls, geese, swans, and cranes. One American geographer, named Ekblaw .gathered over a hundred species of flowering plants in a small area six hundred nsiles north of the Arctic Circle, They in- cluded such common plants as poppy, heather, sedge, bluebells, dandelions, and mushrooms. And what of the snow? The average snowfall of the Arctic is less than that of Scotland, and what there is generally disappears rapidly. As far as the popular concept of intense cold is concerned, Canada established an observatory on an island two hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle to disprove this. Here, the lowest temperature ever recorded was 54 degrees below zero. This is not cold when com- pared to parte of the United States, where the thermometer regularly goes below til; degrees in winter. There is no lack of summer heat, either. Stefansson, the explorer, re- cords a summer spent 75 miles north of the Arctic Circle. when for six weeks the temperature rose to 00 degrees F. nearly every day. Nor did the temperature fall at night, for in that region the son did not set for weeks on end. art try party agreed " he wrote later.

Timely Advice; About 9 Used Car in A Ud Buying a used car is a risky business, as countless motorists have found out, to their sorrow. The following tips on the subject, passed out by the Toronto Better Business Bureau, might save some of our readers considerable money, to say nothing of grief. (1) Patronize a reputable dealer, don't buy in a hurry; purchase a car only in daylight. (2) Do not pay attention to the recorded mileage. Look for wear and tear on the upholstery, which is quite often the best guide to mileage and care. Pads on the clutch, brake or accelerator also are pretty good indicators. It takes about 6,000 nines to wear these pads through. (3) Drive the motor about half an hour until the motor is hot. Watch the oil gauge on the dash- board. If the pressure is low when you go along about 25 miles an hour, the bearings may be worn or loose (4) Listen for noises in the gear box and at the rear end where the drive shaft connects up with the back axle. Noise may mean badly worn parts. 151 Test the car on a steep hill. Also try pushing down and letting up the accelerator quickly. This will show motion in the clutch, trans- mission, etc. - (e) After the road test swich off the motor and run your hand over the radiator in front of the fan. If there are cool spots on it, it's a good indication that there will be radiator trouble ahead. (7) If there are more than a couple of inches play in the steering wheel when you turn it with the finger tips it indicates that the steering mechanism is worn or loose. (8) Don't buy a car which is out of line- Check to see that the real wheels follow the sante track as the front ones when the car is moving in a straight line. (9) Watch hydraulic brakes -if the brake pedal gradually oozes down to the floor board when you step on it firmly, it is a sign of trouble in the master cylinder or those at the wheels. Before you sign a contract to purchase, get the foiiowitsg facts: 1. Adettnate description of the car (name, type, motor number, serial number, and year if definitely known) and any ac- cessories to be included. 2, The cash price. 3. The down payment, 4. A description of the property to be traded in, if any, and the trade allowance therefor, 5. Other credit allowances, if any. 6, The difference between the cash price and the aggregate of the down payment and allowances. 7. Description of policy of insur- ance. 8. The amount of the finance 'charges, 9. Total amount to be financed. 10, The number of installment pay - meats. Do not sign a contract to pur- chase a car if you cannot afford to do so. A deposit is generally con- sideration for a binding contract, East Versus West For Curling Honors Arrangements have been com- pleted for curling playoffs in the :Maritime provinces and Newfound- land, according to officials in charge of arrangements for the Canadian playdowns, which ,are scheduled for Winnipeg March 3 to 7. Last year Don Oykr's amazing rink from Kentyille, Nova Scotia, swept through five days of stiff competition without defeat to bring the Maritimes their second Do- minion Championship since com- petition for the Macdonald's Brier Tankard was inaugurated in 1927. In that year a rink skipped by the late Professor :Murray Macneill of Dalhousie University was success- ful in copping the title. Since then, Western rinks have dominated the competition, although in recent years reams from Eastern Canada have been making things tougher every time out. This year the Maritime,- de terminad to demonstrate that Oyl- er's victory was no flake and some exceptionally strong quartets will be vying for the right to travel to Winnipeg, long regarded as the stronghold of Canada's finest curl- ers. ®ePF.flYOUR TICKETS ,OlFOR THE t r YEAR'S MOST EXCITING 3H0 li -s orSI�QStAG !15.040 f " IS@UFA, TORONiTO FRI.
