New York, Jan. 16.-I saw my first
professional ice-hockey game the 9th
er night at Madison Square Garden
reaction of the audience was more in
teresting, I think than the occurren-
ces in the frozen arena.
Once l wrote a piece attempting tC
point out the difference between the
crowds at football and baseball games
Well, hockey fans are something else
again. They are, I am told, more in
tense in their love of the sport than
the widest gridiron watchers or dou-
ble-header devotees.
Yet when l entered the Garden, a
few minutes later, the spectators did
not appear unduly engrossed in the
game. They were relaxed and vaguely
detached. In the next row a man was
reading newspaper. Four others be-
hind me were discussing Joe Louis
the fisticuffer, and clearly not too alb
sorbed in the twelve men who wove
and wheeled down on the ice.
Then, suddenly, for reasons not ap-
parent to anyone unschooled in the
fine points of the game, vast surge
of enthusiasm swept the hall. There
was wild cheering, a burst of booine
and from the upper floors newspapers
and confetti showed down. The wave
passed and the man who had been
reading the newspaper quoted after
having leapt to his feet and scream
ed Justify. He began to unwrap a box
of candy and inspect the contents.

about prize-fighting.
So it went. The outbursts came at
irregular intervals and rarely was I
able to discover what turn in the
game caused them. Finally the twenty
minute period was over and the play
ers filed off the ice into boxes at op-
posite sides of the rink Then came

Hockey has an esthetic appeal; it
is clean and swift and simple. There
are few rules and a vast opportunity
for hreath-takirg skill. Excitements
are sudden and brief; it is unneces-
sary to stay keyed up during a long
end-run or SLOW march down the field
as in football. An involved play in
hockey is over so quickly as the puck
streaks across the saffron ice that
spectators have more the sensation
of jolt than rising crescendo. It is
the difference between cocktails and
sherry slowly slipped.

giants with the moving picture looks

ordination is a cheering and hopeful
spectacle for fans who are themselves
of an age.

SUNDAYS YESTERDAYS

Jan. II, 395 A. D.-Theodosius I, en-
peror of the Roman empire, died at
40, of dropsy.
His name was to live on, written
large in the pages of history in blood,
because he instituted the punishment
of Christians who were non-adher-
ents of the constituted church and
started the inquisition in which hun
dreds of thousands were to die.
However, the first time the blood of
a non-adherent was shed in accord
ance with the law, the church was
struck with horror at the act, and
the bishop who ordered the so-called
hereto punished was communicated
and exiled!
Jan. II, 1706-Benjamin Franklin
was born in Boston, the 18th child
in a family of II. He educated him
self, and became the most universal
genius this country has ever produced.
He was editor, author, scientist, dip
lomat, philanthropist, libertarian, phil
osopher administrator, discoverer and
inventor-a stove. the rocking-chair
and bi-focal glasses. lie fitted the
first pair of the lat .er to George
Washington.
In his day in Frame, where he was
an influential figure at court, women
who didn't need them carried glasses
to stare insultingingly at persons they
wished to high hat. That was the orr
gin of the lorgnette, which still serves
the same purpose.

days ago by Martin, apparently on
advice from Morris Cooke and the
REA in Washington to ignore the
North Carolina rural identification
law of 1885 and to proceed under an
old law enacted in 1921.
The only reason the North Carolina
Rural Electrification Authority decid-
ed to require all electric membership
corporations to get certificates of con-
venience and necessity before grant
ing approval for construction of lines
was to protect them against injunc-
lions and possible legal action from
private power companies already hav-
ing franchises in the same territory,
Chairman Dudley Bagley of the NC
REA pointed out today. He said also
that if the Johnston County Electric
Membership cooperative had obtained
a certificate in accordance with the
regulations of the authority, it would
not now be tied up as it is pending
the outcome of the appeal to the Su-
preme Court as a result of the suit
brought against it by the Carolina
Power and Light Company. AS a re-
suit, the Johnston county cooperative
has not been able to build a mile of
lines, while the Carolina Power and
Light Company in a number of cases
is now prevented from supplying cleo
trio service to farm homes by which
it's lines have already been built.
By refusing to abide by the 1885
law and by refusing to secure GER
tificate of convenience and necessity
the Caldwell county cooperative now
has laid itself open to restraining
suit by the Duke Power Company,
just as soon as it attempt to set a
single pole or put up a foot Of wire,
it was also pointed out today.
