SECTION SPORTS Admirably Presented By Bob Barnet DESPITE FOUR unseasonably home balmy high school weather football that caused games many citizens to pay post-season visits to their lake cottages, the Fort Wayne Komets drew slightly more than 2,300 paid customers Friday night when they lost an exhibition hockey match to the Windsor, Bulldogs at Allen County Memorial Coliseum. Score was 5-4. All things considered, it was a fine turnout and demonstrated once again that hockey has sold itself in the Fort Wayne area. The same clubs will open their International League schedules at Fort Wayne Saturday night, Nov. 2, and attendance probably will be in the 5,000 bracket that evening.

Windsor is back in the International loop after an absence of 13 years and Muncie hockey After the Ball An Excellent Sport lovers will recall that this city was represented in the league when Muncie was a member and games were played at Gibson Arena. The writer was among those who witnessed the Komet-Bulldog battle Friday night. Once again I was struck by the fact that the hard Canadians who populate hockey to the exclusion of practically everybody just don't know the meaning of the word duelling They fo for battled the as fiercely as and if they had been was major-leaguers Stanley Cup, the penalty box as busy as some of the concession stands. It was a fine hockey match, despite the fact that the Fort Wayne squad had been together only since Monday and the Bulldogs only a few days longer. Fort Wayne has practically the same team that won the league title last year and the Windsor roster is changed only slightly from last season, when the team won the Allen Cup, symbolic of Canadian hockey supremacy.

The score was tied at 2-2 at the close of the first period and 3-3 at the end of the third. A late Windsor goal made it 5-4 and with 1:28 remaining the audience was treated to one of hockey's big thrills when Fort Wayne manager Ken Ullyot removed his goalie and used six attackers in a desperate attempt to tie the score. The Komets didn't get it done but onlookers were standing and screaming when the final buzzer sounded. A MAJOR LEAGUE OPERATION This writer enjoys any sports event in the beautiful Fort Wayne Coliseum, mainly because manager Don Myers, like the hockey attendants people, are runs a courteous league efficient operation. and there is plenty parkUniformed ing of parking space.

Doormen and ushers, also in uniform, know their business and also find time to smile. Concession stands, restrooms, and hallways are spotless, seats are clean and sparkle with new paint. The lighting system is magnificent, sound equipment is first-rate, and there is even an at least Triple-A qualifications. Ken Ullyot, general manager and team coach, and Colin Lister, business manager, have been the top men in the hockey operation for the past six years. Hockey had been in Fort Wayne six years when they arrived but they made it better because they are big-leaguers who know that sports followers, even in so-called "small" towns like Fort Wayne, appreciate a big-league atmosphere.

Lister was mortified Friday night because Windsor did not arrive until 15 minutes before game time, thus delaying the start of the exhibition for a mere 10 minutes. This a not have happened had Fort Wayne been playing in Windsor, because Ullyot and Lister would have had their team in Windsor, and at the arena, on time. Lister is proud of the fact that a number of Komet players, although they are Canadians, have made their homes in 'Fort Wayne and apparently intend to remain there. He is even more proud of the fact that hockey has built up a solid following Of the 2,300 present Friday night, more than half among were teen-agers. teen-agers, which means that they spurned high school football games to see the Komets.

UNWELCOME GUESTS It is too bad that hometown sports fans must dance to a "Johnny One-Note" tune.

The answer is of course that no Muncie sports arena is available for activities such as hockey and other professional sports. We have no building to match Allen County Coliseum at Fort Wayne or the State Fairgrounds Coliseum at Indianapolis. No such building is planned and doubtless we need buildings of other types much more. Hockey could be played at the Fieldhouse or the handsome new Physical Education Gymnasium at Ball State, but let's not kid ourselves. Unless one wishes to sit down to another meal of roundball, those buildings are not available and are not going to be made available.

A new auditorium and "cultural center," built by public subscription, is soon to be opened at Ball State but here is another shiny structure in which sporting events, and sporting followers, are as welcome as an infestation of field mice. Funny thing--we own all those buildings, too! Hoosiers' Breather Is Profitable, 20-6 BLOOMINGTON, Ind.

Braden Beck, a left-footed booter, kicked all three conversions, plus 30-yard field goal in Stanford's first victory ever over the Irish.

The Indians lost to the Four Horsemen in the 1925 Rose Bowl and were defeated at South Bend in 1942. Credit Goes to Sophomore Notre Dame led 14-10 at the half Saturday, and much of the credit for that lead must go to Stanford sophomore quarterback Dick Berg. He fumbled away a chance to put his club in the lead just before the halftime gun sounded, but he came back gallantly to engineer a touchdown drive of 70 and 85 yards in the second half. As the final gun sounded, the Stanford team carried Coach John Ralston off the field. In his first year with the Indians, Ralston decided to switch both Thurlow and Dick Ragsdale from quarterback to halfback.

The loss was Geneva's fifth of the season against a pair of wins over teams. The Cardinals are in just their second year of football.

Score on Long Play Five of the six redshirt touchdowns were on runs of seven yards or less.

Longest scoring play for Royerton was a yard 1 pass play in the third quarter from quarterback Jack Kuhns to end Ted Dixon. Other Redbird tallies came on a three-yard dive by Chuck Taylor and a two-yard burst by Jeep Brock in the first quarter, a yard run by Scot Fisher in the second, a seven-yard sweep by Terry Taylor in the third and a one-yard slant by Eric Williams in the final period.

Indiana got its first good opportunity late in the first quarter when Ted Worcester blocked a field goal attempt by Cincinnati's Jim Curry. The Hoosiers pushed 55 yards in 10 plays, with quarterback Rich Badar and Nowatzke picking up most of the yardage. A Badar pass to Tom Kuchenberg dropped into the Indiana end's hands but popped out again as a tackler hit him, and Ted Coppola grabbed the ball and ran it back 14 yards to the Indiana 38. The Bearcats went from there in seven plays with Owens' passing the last six Wal-(yards to Bill Higgins. Owens faded to pass for a 2-point conversion but was smothered by Indiana's Tony Rocco.
