Ted Lindsay
Faces s'B0xcar'
Egan TO Test
Youthful Wing
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

Before the Detroit Red Wings
take too much pride in the exploits
of youthful Ted Lindsay, who
body checks his foes out OF the
rink, they should remember that
Patrick Egan, the skating boxcar,
is coming into Olympia this SUM-
day night with the Boston Bruins.
Patrick Egan is a man to test
the mettle of any body checker
and if the l52-pound Lindsay
wishes to belt any Bruins among
the customers, Egan is the burly
boy whose exit would win Lindsay
almost undying fame m on G
hockey fans.
We say -- almost - because IL
was reported recently that Bob
Goldman of Toronto, Lindsay's
recent victim, and Moose jamie
son, oldtime hockey referee, are
the only persons who have been
checked over the boards.
EVEN CLANCY GOT 1T
This is far from the fact
which is that at least ID or 20
players or officials have been pro-
PEELED over the dasher within re-
cent memory. Thousands of fans
have distinct recollection of
Referee King Clancy disappearing
over the dasher after being sand
wiched by two body checkers last
season. Most notable disappearing
act before that was the one staged
by Hank Goldup, then OF the
Leafs, when Don Crosse of De-
troit got the shoulder under him
Just before the big fight that
wound up the Al playoffs here.
Goldup was carried out Of the
arena
1t was the 190-pound Egan,
however, who made the most gall
liant try in the buildings history.
Egan had blood in his eye when
he returned 10 Detroit with the
Bruins after being traded by
Jack Adams for Flash Hollett two
seasons ago. He made a rush with
the puck and on ms way back
came abreast of Hollctt, who had
the puck on the boards near the
Red Wing bench.
One crash from Egans Shoul-
der and Hollett was half over the
boards. He teetered on the dasher,
finally regained his balance and
got his feet on the ice. Egan had
missed his revenge by an eyelaSh.
Just a bit more pressure and he
would have put Hollett right in
Jack Adams lap.

DIBBLE DENIES
Sane TON OF
SEGREGATION
BY HARRY McALPIN

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NNPA)
I'm a telegram to NNPA. Col. Eu-
gene H. Dibble Jr, head OF the all
Negro Tuskegee Veterans hospital,
declared that Rep. John S. Gibson
(D.-Ga) apparently misinterpreted
his association with a segregated
institution as an unqualified en-
dorsement Of segregation in theory.
DIR. DIBBLE was referring TO a
statement made by Gibson on the
floor of the House Of Representa-
tives, concurred in by Rep. John <.
Rankin (D.-Miss). that Negroes
must be segregated in eVteran Ad-
ministration facilities. that white
nurses should not be allowed TO
attend Negro patients, and that it
would be fine thing il every state
had an all-Negro hospital
In the course Of his TRADE, Glib
son said Col. Dibble agreed with
him lin toto" on the business of
segregation. He said the colonel
agreed too that Negroes do not
have to be mixed with whites 10 be
able to improve themselves" He
was loud in his praise of the hos
pital at Tuskegee. which he re-
ferred to constantly as the niger
hospital"
Rankin, in the same debate, SAID
anybody was crazy who tried to
knock down segregation.
COL. DIBBLE'S full telegram TO
NNPA read; This has reference to
article by Charles A. Niche in PM
OF Sunday, June 3 in which it Is
stated Congressman John S. Glib
son of Georgia said that Col. Dbl
BILE agreed with him in toto on the
business OF segregation. Congress
man Gibson has apparently misin-
terpreted my association with a
segregated institution as an unqual-
flied endorsement by me OF segre-
cation in theory. While the Con-
2ressman's statements do not re-

point out that it is not my privi-
lege as professional man in a

ice either favorably or unfavorablv
