1t Happened Before

This will be the second time
the Red Wings have opposed a
man wearing a mask in a STAN
ley Cup series. Neil Colville of
the Rangers was similarly pro-
tected against jaw injury
when Detroit beat New York
in the 1867 final.
Just before the final game
Manager Adams told the Red
Wings TO check the Ranger CEN
ter the same as the other play
ers, but cautioned them TO be
sure the checks were clean and
that no effort was made to in
jure Colville.

was raised when the University of

tect his broken jaw last fall. Rival
schools complained that their play

employ on such a star.

Hockey Just as Tough

Cowley Is cordially disliked by
many hockey players, especially by
Jimmy Orlando of the Wings,
whom he once carved up with his
stick. Yet Orlando might hesitate
TO step in and give Cowley the
business on Boston ice. A thunder
GUS boo from the Boston crowd
might sway referee toward a
penalty.
Almost any player might soften
his body check against a man
whose jaw is just mending after a
complicated break. Yet Cowley is
the leader of the Boston's best line.
He laid out the passes that en-
abled Roy Conacher. the Bruins
high scorer. TO beat Chicago in the
opening game of their series.
Cowley's not asking for quarter.
now, however. And he won't be
given any by the Wings if Man
ager Jack Adams can help il.
Just Another Guy
any boys are going for the
payoff--the Stanley Cup--and
they'll have orders TO check
Cowley just like anyone else"
said Adams when his club ar
rived today. "Guess n he stood
up under the checking. the bat
tering that Chicago's Johnny
Mariucci, Joe Cooper and big
Earl Seibert must have handed
him In the first round Of the
playoffs, we don't need to lay
back"
The Wings have heard the date
Dec. Z, 1870 often they re-
peat IT in their sleep. That's the
last time they beat the Bruins
here. But Don Crosse, sgd Howe,
Carl LiScombe and the boys who
tied the Bruins here and beat
them twice in Detroit in the last
three games between the clubs,
feel they will mark up a new date
tomorrow.

LET'S BE FAIR

President Roosevelt has demanded that
a littla nlid-wastern railroad submit its
troubles with the Go to arbitration by
the war labor board. The president of
the railroad has indicated he may defy
the Roosevelt demand because he fears
the one-sided attitude Of the federal
government IN any matter dealing with
a big labor union.
The railroad president pointed out
that his line obtained federal court
injunction To prevent violence and mass
picketing by the Go union which is at
tempting to organize the railroad work
ers. but that federal officers refused
to enforce the injunction, 50 that it might
as well never have been issued. If the
FED araI government itself will disregard
the law in order to help labor union
in its organization strikes. he believes,
he can expect no fair ruling from that
federal government if he places the fate
Of his railroad in lis hands
The trouble is. he's right.

administration shelyed its aIl-out aid To
