Zurich Citizens News, 1958-11-05, Page 12PAGE TWELVE ZURICH Citizens NEWS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1958 James Siebert, Detroit Fireman, Will Try Out With U.S. Dlyn-tpic Team The following was taken from the sports column of the Detroit Times, and concerns a young man who is no stranger to sports fans and others in this district. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sie- bert, Detroit, and a nephew of William Siebert, Zurich, ed hockey a few years ago, P y in Zurich with a team from De- troit. There's the Case of the Hockey Fireman James Siebert, 21, is a Detroit fireman. "Just a fire-fighter," he says, "but I love to play hockey." He comes by it honestly enough. His uncle was Babe Siebert, a great star with the one time Mon- treal Maroons. Invitations were sent out to all parts of the US to 35. They'll pick 18 for the team. Jim won't say that he is confident he'll make the team. Nick Sullo, in charge of Rec. hockey, who knows an ath- lete, and particularly this hockey player, when he sees one, says Jim is one of the best ever. But, there's a catch: This in- duces the slow burn. Listen to Jim and remember he was reluct- ant to talk. . . "The fire department will give me the time off to go tothe try- outs, but won't let me go if I make the Olympic team, They tell me I'll lose my seniority, I don't want that to happen. "But I think I'd play better if I knew I had a chance to go all the way. The- team leaves for Europe for exhibitions and train- ing January 27, 1959. It's going to London, Paris, Zurich and there are three games with the Russians in Moscow". Forget the seniority, Jini, and go all out for the team. It's ridi- culous that fire department red tape could possibly stop you from representing your country. It's regrettable, too, that you haven't the same opportunities given a Russian hockey player. I don't agree that their ",'way is the best but they are given every ch- ance and they put money in their pockets, too. Good luck. 0 Jim went to Mackenzie High, played some junior hockey over at Kitchener, Ontario, but had to give it up so he could continue his high school studies. Detroit Recreation Department's Hockey League brought him out to play again. He's been a star scorer with the Teamsters, the highest scorer each season for the last four in the Rec. loop. The Teamsters were 1-1 in the nationals up at Minneapolis hast spring. Jim's play stood out en- ough to get him a bid, the only one so honoured in this area, to try out for the US Olympic hock- ey team in the trials at Minnea- polis starting October 30.
