jt 1 4 I 1 tfj Grabs a Hiram Pass for 12 Yards morale, talent and Inspiration. The rluh that finished a hopeless last in the International I-vision In became the miracle club once more under the skillful guidance of Hart The great Howie Morenz. whom he had discovered on the outdoor rinks of Stratford, Ont waa a has-been. He waa old and growing older. Chicago had released him without so much aa a "sorry to see you go." Hart took on the great morenz and re-eatablished hia veteran line of Johnny Gagnon.

Aurel Joliat and Morens. Retltet, Old Line Morenz. buck at the arenea of hia great triumphs, became sensation once more. The veteran line waa the fear of the division and rightfully so, because those veterans hy their scoring carried the Canadirns from the disgrace of the league to the top of the International Division. Then at the height of the campaign came the Morenx tragedy.

Suirly the Flying Frenchmen would slip with Howie gone. Emotion would hcHt the Frenchmen. But it didn't. Hart rryatalizecl that emotion into one of those "Win for Howie" slogans and the Canadicna swept on to victory, with th rest of the league marveling at what was hilling them up. The Canadiens under Hart forced the handicapped fled Wings to the limit before the Drtroltets won a brilliant six period triumph in the fifth and deciding game.

Now the question ta. aa Hart brings his Frenchmen into Detroit Sunday afternoon, can the Inspiring little Jew, who never played professional game of hockey, carry hia "Mntenr.lcss" Frenchmen into the playoffs once more? The belief is that he can't unless he finds someone around whom to symbolize the spirit that Morenz gave the team. But Hart ll cute. The odds are he'll find somebody. If he doesn't this year, he will next season.

When you hear some of the partisan experts say the Canadiens haven't got a rhance, they are only hoping like they did last season when they came within an ace of getting tnto that Stanley Cup final Hilltoppers Win on Blocked Kick Bray's Play Brings 14-13 Victory INDIAN ATOMS.

Nothing ao re-markahle anout a fid in a tournament save for the fart that Mr. Vincn haa gained hia chief renown as a tennis player rather than as a golfer. In fart, Mr.

Vinea is the national professional net champion. Vines began playing golf half a dozen years under the tutelage of Frank Williams, who serves ss golf professional at Bob o' Link during the aummer months. In the winter Williams la pro at a Taaadena public course. Vines received lessons there from Williams. "filly's" previous low round was a 74, but his tied him for medal honors with Tat Ahhott, the movie extra who won the National Tuhlic Links rhsmplonship in 19.1ft.

However, he was beaten in an early round. Vines' links success only is another indication that golf is a more popular sport among ath-letea than any other form of diversion save possibly bending the elbow at a convenient tavern. WILMKR ALLISON, former national tennis champion, has become a proficient golfer since abandoning the amateur net circuit. Mary K. Browne won the national women'a golf championship in 1924 after a successful caieer on the courts.

Sam Byrd, the erstwhile Hornets Make Extra Points on Gift' Kicks HILLSDALE, Nov. 13 Kalama-roo had the unusual experience of having five conversion attempts after its first two touchdowns in the game w-ith Hillsdale here last week. The Hornets tallied in the opening minutes of the game. On the first try for the extra-point, both teams were offside. On the second.

a Hillsdale player was offside. On i both efforts, the ball went wide the goalposts. The third attem which was legal, was successful. Kalamazoo scored its second touchdown early in the third period and failed to convert. Put once again a Hillsdale plavr was offside.
