Be Rugged, But Battle
Within Rules, Coach
Directs Eagles
Looks TO Boston Clash
As Tune-up for Skeeter
Tilt Here Tomorrow

Alarmed lest repeatedly loud
warnings against too much rough
stuff make his charges too timid for
their own health and general well
fare, Coach Redvers Mackenzie
handed the hockey Eagles instruc-
tions TO whoop 1t up tonight when
they tangle with the Olympics at
Boston.
Mackenzie addressed the SQUAD
before it entrained for the Hub.
Fouling and unnecessary roughness
still are taboo. but not legitimate
body blocks and an aggressive at
tack. The diminutiye coach wasn't
thinking Of Boston as much as the
Jersey Skeeters when he delivered
his Grafton. The Skeeters will be
at Riverside tomorrow night at $50
and have been the cause for most
of the Eagles penalty box woes.
No football team, Mackenzie
pointed out, ever won a game by
apologizing for a hard tackle or good
block and he doesn't think too much
politeness goes on the ice. either.
The Eagles can take the Skeeters
in stride if they forget their fists
and devote their undivided atten-
ton to the rubber disc.
Bus Portland, Hughie Bell and
Swede Mattson are the three ex-
pected to carry the visitors attack.

the roster reveals. the presence Of
four newcomers, which will help off,
set the presence Of Olin Mcdonald,
conference 120-pound champ, and
three other veterans. This sounds
formidable, but not as depressing as
the prospect Of facing eight hold
overs.
If Johnny Harm could get in shape
he'd give Master Mcdonald work
out, at least, and Lombardo isn't
certain that Soph Judson Lincoln
won't make it hot for the title
holder. Other vets Maryland will
be looking for are Willis Beall, 145
pounds; Harry Lotion, 155, and
Lucius Henson, IT'S.
Beall and Lotion won their OPEN
ing bouts in the conference tourna-
ment last winter, but were elimirat-
ed the second time they went to the
post. Henson lost to Ferguson of
Clemson in his first match, but his
cOnquerer went on to win the crown
and help the Tigers capture the
team championship. While Mary
land does not regard these men too
lightly. it isn't throwing in the towel
before the first blow is struck. South
Carolina may win, but it's going to
be a fight all the way.

heavyweight. Terp supporters are
confident Gunther will score, for he
is regarded as one of the finest
prospects enrolled in some time. and
with the others in there pitching
may help Maryland get tie, at
least. With a possible upset here
and there the College Parkers might
win.
Dukes tossers will enter the game
a strong favorite over Coach Burt
Shipley's outfit. 1t will be the
18th game in their series, in which
the Terps hold a l0-7 advantage.

Good Loser Never Can Be
True Champion

To me spirit is burning flame
that never fades or dies.
Spirit also is something beyond
explaining, although it can be ex-
panded or developed under proper
encouragement. But the germ must
always be there.
Spirit is a blood brother of inspira-
ton. What inspiration is to the
true poet, spirit is to the athlete.
Minus spirit-the true spirit of COM
petition against all odds-the great
est physical specimen is just a hulk.
But after ALL" said Mr.. Kelland,
the true champion must know how
to wear his laurels after he has won
them. He must know how to win.
If he is a good loser then he isn't
true champion. I mean inwardly.
In defeat he should keep his mouth
shut-but he should be burning up
inside. He should be all set to get
ready for the next test.
Il don't believe in losing with
smile. The idea of defeat should be
intolerable to a champion"

Many Angles to Making

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9 (NAN.AO.
MY travelling companion, Mr..
Clarence Burlington Kelland, the

torture and observation in a draw
ing room we always share, also can
carry his output of thorns. He
isn't 100 per cent rose leaves.
Passing through El Paso, Tex.

ist and ranchman asked me to name
the qualities a champion needs be-
vond mere physical ability to do
things-to do things physically bet
ter than others who still may move
on beyond him in other walks of
life.
True champions are not carved
from Drawn and bone-not even
from speed and stamina. They
must have something more.
Many competitors may be bigger,
faster and stronger than the field
they face-and yet not quite arrive
at the top, while others with less
to work with may carry the banner
of stardom we'll beyond their set
barriers.

Love of Game Essential
To Champions Makeup

First of all I should say there
must be a love of the game he
plavs-the love of the thing he is
doing.
The star football player must
love football as a game beyond any
other reward. This goes for base
ball, golf and every other sport.
1t must bring to him the ambition
to eXcel-through practice, through
hard work, through condition,
through greater concentration.
Davev OBrien at $50 pounds and
Charley ORourke of Boston Col
lege were far better football players
than most entries who range from
200 to $50, and who are just as fast.
Frank Hinkey, "the disembodied
ghost at $50 pounds, still is a foot
ball tradition.
The next two features are natural
knack and mental poise. These are
oorn in the athlete, not acquired.
There is no easy road to the top
of the hill of fame in sport. There
are no paved boulevards of indo-
lence and pleasant dreams. Those
who arrive must earn the ascent
by hard work.
