What makes a hockey fan
tick? You may have it!
BY AL VAUGHN

THIRTY nights a year over
l. $4,000 hockey fans pack
the Chicago Stadium to see
their favorites, the Chicago
Blackhawks, race up and down
the ice.
Mind you, his is a team
which has never won league
championship and which is
now buried deep in the cellar.
But the hockey bugs keep COM
ing back screaming for more.
Some haven't missed a game
in 20 years. One of these regu-
lars arriving at a game with a
temperature of 1922 was asked
what he, was doing there in
stead Of being home in bed. He
answered, 81 can still W l k,
can't II"
WHAT is the attraction?
Hockey is fast-moving, driv-
ing type of sport, action-filled
and always easy to follow. 1t
packs a thrill no other specta-
tor sport comes close to giving
the paying customers.
It is a combination of skat-
ing, basketball, football, box
ing, and baseball and the fans
love it. Ask one how he feels
about hockey after cl S e
rough game, if he's still able to
talk.
In every game there is re
peated body contact and when
tempers flare and the players
try to commit mayhem with
their sticks or fists the crowd
goes crazy. When the boys cool
down and sit in the little red
box reserved for bad boys,
apologize, ask about the health
of each others family, all is
forgiven and forgotten until the
next time. It's all in a days
work.

unit, known as Labor's Educa-

That was decided upon at this
weeks GIL meeting, when dele
gates approved the executive
boards decision to send keenan,
TO Washington in answer to re-
quest for his services from the
AFL's national office.
Some union leaders at the meet
ing objected to Keenan's depar-
lure on the grounds that our
members are demanding political
action right here in Chicago" and
that keenan, should carry out
those wishes here, but Victor A.
Olander, secretary treasurer of
the Illinois State Federation of
Labor, replied that ait is evident
he will be assigned to work in
Chicago"

and forward Ben Bluitt, control
ling the ball off both boards, had

SPORTS ROUNDUP
New gooIie is what
Hawks doc orders

THE Black Hawks broke a
three game losing streak by
defeating the New York Rangers
Al in Madison Square Garden
Sunday night.
The Hawks blasted three goals
past New York goahe, Sugar
Jim" Henry, early in the first
period and coaSted in to win.
The victory was the Hawks
first since Charlie Conacher, their
new coach, took over, having pre-
viously lost two decisions to De-
troit's Red Wings.
Conacher has come up with the
answer to what's wrong with the
Hawks. He wants a major league
goalie and more ice for practice.
He claims the team is not in shape
to play so minutes of major league
hockey, and Emile "The Kitten
Francis is too green for the majors.

men, are must for a good
hockey team but the guy who
finally decides whether the
team is worth a dime is the
goalie. He is the bulwark who
holds the fort and he has got
to be terrific.
He is sniped at from all
sides. He must be quick as
cat and every move must be
perfectly coordinated. When
you see these fellows kick out
one Shot after another you Won
der if its all a dream. If you
were fortunate enough to see
the late Chuck Gardner in the
nets for the Hawks you have
seen perfection in an athlete.
WHATEVER you like in
your sports-whether its rough
ness, speed, team work or solo
effort-hockey has something

If your heart is strong, your
voice is loud and you want
