field hockey, the parent of the ice
game, goes back through the cen
turtles, the latter game is only about
SO years old. A Canadian, seeing
field hockey in England, returned
home in the seventies with the idea
of putting the game on ice. R. F.
Smith, McGill university student,
whose college teams are usually the
worlds best, wrote a set of rules,
using rules of field hockey, Rugby
football and his imagination.
Introduced as Pro Sport
Before the turn of the century at
tempts we're made to introduce
hockey as professional sport. But
the attempts were not successful
until the advent of artificial indoor
Kinks in 1905 and 1906.
Following the war hockey didn't
regain its place in the sun until the
opening of the new Madison Square
Garden in New York in 1925.
Big league professionals are a
strange group. They're more inter-
ested in winning games than they
are in pay checks. Few are the
big timers who don't bear many bat
tie scars as evidence of fiercely con-
tested encounters. Hockey, to them
as well as the dyed-in-the-wool fan,
is more than game, it's almost
religion.
Typical of hockey players is Ching
johnson of the New York Rangers.
Johnson, in IL years of big league
competition, has had 81 accidents
in which broken bones resulted or
surgeons stitches were required.
It's not a gentle sport.

Speaking of Sports
F1ashingSpee
Makes Hockey
Sports Thriller
BY ROBERT McSHANE

IN A world gone wildly enthusiast
tic over sports in all its forms,
hockey stands alone as the speedi-
est, most exciting game of them all.
Take the word of thousands of fans
who pack arenas in large and small
cities throughout the north. The
cold, driving, fierce speed of hockey
makes it unlike any other game.
This speed and smash are the
reasons for hockey's popularity.
Whether dozen schoolboys are
playing on a frozen Minnesota pond
or topnotch professional team is
playing under the lights of huge
arena, the game is fast and furious.
It's a simple game to watch and
understand. There are six men,
including the goalie, on each team,
and a black disk of hard rubber, all
out in front of the spectator. Play
ers on one team try to poke the
puck into the net of the other team
to score winning goals. Roughly,
the teams are divided into three for
wards, two defense players, and the
padded goalie who is the last line
of defense. ..
Theoretically forwards are the
fastest skaters, best stick handlers
and the best shot makers. Defense
players are usually bigger men,
brawny enough to withstand terrific
mauling. Goalies are a race unto
themselves. They learn to move
with mechanical precision, using
their built up equipment to the best
advantage.
Penalties Severe
Rules are concerned chiefly with
offside play. Lines are drawn across
the rink, and players must not cross
ahead of teammates who carry the
puck on the attack. Forward pass
ing is not allowed once a player
crosses the last line between him
and the opponents boal. Other rules
are more or less safety measures,
keeping rOughness in check as much
as possible. Offending players are
sent from the ice for varying peri
DDS, and during their absence their
team carries on short handed.
Ice hockey is little more than an
infant, albeit tough one. Though

ming at the track here, has dropped
bombshell among the horSey set.
The offer was made last night
by the sportsman when he learned
that his sprinter, Airflame. had
been tampered with by the use of
a drug called Sulphonal before the
running of the Catskill Handicap
last Wednesday.
OTHERS ALSO DOPED
Other sterling thoroughbreds
which also are said to have been
given the drug in recent races
here are William H. GallagheS's 8
Rudie and j. P. Smiths Ebony
Eve.
With such a huge reward Of.
fered, it is expected that one OF
the greatest investigations In race
track history will be launched.
Sulphonal is a drug which Is
said to affect the brain and hind
legs. The drug Is used to stop"
victims in races.
A vial of the drug was recently
found in a stall at Aqueduct, but
the intended victim was un-
touched.
Vanderbilt's Airflame, an out
standing favorite in the CatSklll,
opened at to l in the betting
and reached as high as 16 to 5.
It finished last in a field Of seven.
This colt had previously set a
seven.furlong track record OF
1928 is in the American Legion
a few days before.
RAN HIGH FEVER
Airflame acted strangely in the
paddock for the Catskill and fol-
lowing the race ran a high fever.
The drug is given in pill form
and is the substitute now for
sponges which dogged the Mary
land tracks last year.
Saratoga was the scene Of an
expose of the drug, coramine, used
two years ago. Maereal, a so to l
shot, was found to have been
under the influence Of that drug.

the former Scarlet backfielder.
COACHED BY SANFORD
Ozzie played at Rutgers during
the seasons of 1924, rs and '26,
and was a teammate of the great
Homer Hazel, a unanimous choice
for All-American honors at full
back one season.
I'VE were coached by Foster
Sanford, the old Yale star, who
knew a lot of football. He knew
all the tricks of the trade and
became so potent with his style
Of offense that an amendment
was made by the football rules
committee to curb some of his
favorite plays. Take, for in
stance, the plays he ran off a
flexible flank. With an unbal-
anced line, he played a tackle
on the strong side anywhere
from three to six yards OUT
like a Semi-Spread. This made
the particular tackle a free
lance on passes as well as a
blocking interference for a wide
sweep around the strong side.
However, the rule makers be-
came active, and using some Of
Sanford's pet plays as an exam
pie, wrote in a rule change to
ban the threat of such a player
and play. The rule now reads
that a lineman who moves into
the backfield must be five yards
behind the line of scrimage and
that there must still be seven
men on the line, Ozzie pointed
out with a diagrammed play on
some hotel stationary, in the ap-
proved coaches best manner.
The greatest game Nelson re
calls playing was in the defeat Of
New York University the first sea
son Chick Meehan took over the
coaching of the Violets. But let
Ozzie tell it.
"It was a great game. We beat
them in the last few minutes Of
play; 7-6. We were on the
short end of the betting and
the papers said we wouldn't
have a chance. I flipped a pass
to Benckert, our left halfback,
and he crossed the goal stand
ing up. With the score tied at
Gall, I booted the ball over the
crossbar. It was a real thrill.
