Hockey writers and managers
of National Hockey League clubs
are congratulating President Mer-
vyn Dutton of the n. II. l.. and
Fred A. Huber Jr., Olympia pub
licity man, on the production of
two of the most complete record
books ever produced for the sport.
Dutton has just mailed out the
new 62-page year book which
lists all the record breaking feats
of the past season and analyses
each clubs performance at home
and abroad.
There is much material never
before included, such as the ros-
ters Of all Stanley Cup winning
teams since 1913.
Dutton is believed to have
gained many ideas for his book
from the productions of Huber,
who was mentioned during the
past season for the post of league
historian and statistician. The
Olympia official again has pro-
duced a complete Red Wing rec
ord showing how each player per-

Gain in Golf
By NJ. f. DRUKENBRoD

Golf at fee courses here has

trial leagues which continue 70

The idea isn't exactly new, but
the increase in the number OF
these leagues in the last two sea-
sons has been most unusual. II II
continues. the number OF industrial
leagues in golf may approach those
in bowling.
WOMEN HAVE LEAGUE
are leagues for shop and
office workers. with most OF the
large war plants represented. Sew
eral of the larger stores also have
leagues or conduct tournaments
for their employees, while Sunny
brook reports a league there for
women workers at the Naval Ord
nance plant which opens its sched-
ule Monday evening.
The extra hour of daylight under
wartime is chiefly responsible for
the popularity of this type of golf.
Workers 60 direct from their
shops or offices to courses,
matches usually starting at +
o'clock.
While some of the matches are
limited to nine holes, many of the
golfers keep going and get in a
complete round before dark.
MAKES MORE GOLFERS
All fee courses share in this
play, with some having as many
as three or four leagues.
"The results don't end with
the added business the leagues
bring to our courses" said Bob
Sutherland of Sylvan Glen,
president of the MICA. THE
leagues are interesting more

he already has gone on record as

Equally OF interest is the debut
of Navy against North Carolina Pre-

the Midshipmen, as strong as last
year when they lost only to Notre
Dame, will gain the mythical ma
tional crown this fall.
The Army meets North Carolina
at West Point; Penn battles Duke at
Philadelphia; Ohio State tangles
with Missouri at Columbus; Penn
State encounters Muhlenberg at

stern test at home against the Nor

in workout with Red" Strader's

Farkas. whose initial appearance
in an exhibition game at Pittsburgh
was something less than brilliant,
took of the wraps yesterday, dug
into the line and plowed off tackles
in style that brought an approx
ing nod from Coach Dud De Groot
The Anvil seemed to be very much
his old self.
More pleased and satisfied than
anybody else was Farkas himself
He had been anxious to give his
knee a thorough test. to determine
whether he can depend on it for
heavy duty. and yesterday that
worry seemed to have been dis
PEELED. More than once the husky
Navy forwards engulfed Andy on
attempted line smashes. but there
was nary sign of letdown on
his part. He didn't favor the leg.
and didn't stop when somebody got
IN front OF him. but continued to
drive for another possible yard In
his best style.
De Groot found some satisfaction
in the work OF his rockies. particu-
larly the linemen who were out

Pittsburgh welterweight who has
doomed from obscurity to a place
among the top listings in the space
OF a few months, comes to town
Thursday to finish prepping for his
fight with Frankie Wills at Griffith

After the slick KO performance he
turned in against Nick Latsios here,
Double Bee may draw one of the

with Wills. Wills, who lasted 10
rounds with Armstrong and Bob
Montgomery, has been working out
at Stillmans gym in New York with
