Loss OfDmart May Cost Boston Bruins Another Hockey Title
Crosby Swimmers,
Undefeated, Face
Baassick, Saturday

The strong Crosby swimmers
take on Bassick high Of Bridgeport
in the Park City Saturday night.
The Blue, which has won its first
three meets against the Alumni
West Haven, and Meriden without
too much trouble, goes against a
Bassick team Of unknown caliber.
Bassick will be without the services
of Ken Kost, last years state back
stroke champion, who has gradu-
ated.
The times in the first three meets
were quiet impressive, Dick Nc
Cleary, who has done under 20 Sec
onds for the 40-yard free style,
Tony Lombard, a top-notch sprint
er, Vic Romanauskas, Ed Pagan
Rollie Boucher, Bob Jackson, ice
Frisbie, and a few others will be
counted on to gether the free style
points for the Ivy this season.
Paul Lux has turned in some fine
performances, including 1:10.1 and
a 1:10.2 for the 1O0-yard breast
stroke. Chris Kelley, who Is rapidly
improving, will be counted on to
pact III lllC VI ctisoO SIlohC,
Bill Webster seems a good bet to
take the 100-yard back stroke. With
Kost gone, Tom Donahue, a sopho-
more, will also see action.
Dom Spallone, the mighty mite,
has already run up a winning
streak of IA straight in the dive,
and there seems to be on one In
the state who will stop him. Mickey
Holmes will, in all probability, take
several seconds in the remaining
meets.
From Hartford high comes the
news that only two lettermen are
back with the team this year.
Among the absent are George
Jacobs, who took the SO and 100
yard free style events In last years
CIAC meet.
The probable starting lineup Is
as follows:
120-yard medley relay: Webster,
Lux. and Lombard.
220-yard free style: Romanauskas
and Jackson.
40-yard free style. McCleary and
Pagan.
Dive: Spallone and Holmes.
100-yard free style: Lombard and
Boucher.
100-yard breast stroke: Lux and
Kelley.
100-yard back stroke: Webster
and Donahue
160-yard free style relay: Frisbie

Rangers Win, Then Take
Part in Violent ''Free
for All"

Boston, Jan. 21-(UP)-Woodrow
(Porky) Dumart, member of the
Boston Bruins famed kraut line
and one of the greatest left wing
ers in professional hockey, was en-
route to London, Ont, for physical
examination today and his induc-
ton in the Canadian army seemed
certain by Feb. s..
Loss Of the rugged 25-year-old
youth might mean collapse of the
Bruins who have won three straight
National league titles and two of
the last three Stanley cup cham
pionships. Dumart and his Kitch-
ener, Ont, pals, Milt Schmidt and
Bobby Bauer, formed what was
rated liberated the finest offensive
and defensive unit in the league.
Dumart skated off Boston Gar
den ice several minutes before the
Boston New York Rangers game
ended last week to entrain for Buff
falo, N. Y, where he was to take
an automobile to his local draft
board. The exact date of his in
duction was not known, but the
policy has been to place men in
service within three weeks of notice
to report for examination.
Missed the "ShOW"
The handsome Dumart wasn't on
hand for the pitched battle that
followed the Rangers AZ triumph
over Boston "a win that boosted
New York to a top-place tie and
snapped the Bruins string of 16 UNI
defeated home games. The Bruins
last were beaten here by the same
Rangers Feb. IS, 1941, after a rec
ord streak of % unbeaten contests.
A five-minute sentence to de-
fenseman Dit Clapper Of Boston for
punching Art Coulter set the stage
for the braWl several minutes be-
fore the end of loosely officiated
game.
The Rangers had ovrcome a 20
deficit established by Schmidts
twin tallies and taken a 80 lead
at 1886 OF the final session on
Alex Shibicky's counter when Clap
per was sentenced. Phil Watson
scored New York's fourth goal with
Clapper in the box
Al the final bell, Clapper skated
from the box and Coulter rushed
toward him. The two veterans
snapped blows for nearly a min
ute with Clapper having the bet
ter of the exchange. AS officials,
ploice and seceral hundred of the
$4,000 crowd converged on tn c
scene, players of both teams joined
the brawl that lasted several min

BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Jan. 21-Paul Mooney
gives a strange explanation against
those Of New York and the Atlantic
Seaboard.
New York teams are unable TO
adopt stereotyped methods to what
might be called the unorthodox re-
actions of the WeSterners," says
Coach Mooney of Columbia.
Ofhand, 1t strikes me that the
answer to that one is that New
York teams should get away from
the pattern.
when you change your defense
to meet the style of western teams
you make your boys do things in
such an unorthodox manner that
it saps their confidence" asserts
Mooney. You can't change youi
entire style, like Ed Kellehe rof
Fordham did with the double stand
ing guard agaist Rhode Island State,
without taking something away
from your team"
Chucking Frank Kinney of Rhode
Island State Is one OF the few east
ern coaches who got next to the
fact that 1t was time there were
some changes made. Kinney has
gone farther to the left than the
majority of the teams from the
hinterland.
when we get up against that
western stuff, our boys don't know
what goes on" emphasizes Mooney.
"They drive you into playing their
game, which you know nothing
about. Our boys are upset, and the
western team doesn't know what it's
doing, anyway"
Such regrettable ignorance.
Mooney Is correct only in that
eastern teams are upset and don't
seem to know what Is going on. And
isn't upsetting the other side the
main idea next to making the other
fellow play your game?
If had five boys standing six
feet two" declares Mooney, "I'd
beat the westerners' brains out
Boys standing six feet seven are not
adaptable to our style"
Now, isn't that too bad? Drill
Master Mooney wants the lads tail
or-made. And will Strategist Mooney
please direct any young man meas
uring six feet seven, who happens To
apply at Morningside Heights, to
West Texas State or any school
west, south or southwest, the coach
of which, am sure will not be so
particular?

boys under him standing six feet
two would annimilate western teams
is, OF course, highly debatable. Nor
is lack of height necessarily fatal
handicap. Washington's relatively
short team established addison
Square Garden record with ~
points against New York University
The Easts claim that it employs
particular style because its per-
sonnet Is suited to 1t is little more
than a convenient excuse when an
outside outfit prevails.
And the height of something or
other Is team losing to one which
doesn't know what it's doing.
Isn't it barely possible that some
eastern coaches are behind the
times?
