Many are seeing the game for the first time. The following was prepared by Clarence S. Campbell, presi dent of the National Hockey league, to help new viewers enjoy the game.) By CLARENCE S. CAMPBELL President National Hockey League (As Told To United Press) Montreal (U.R) Hockey is one of the easiest of all games to watch and understand and the finest of all spectator sports. Tiger Jones, Smallwood Foes in Ring Cleveland, Ohio (U.R) Ralph (TiRer) Jones, his sights set on a 1957 middleweight championship battle with Gene Fullmer, rated as the favorite tonight in a 10- round nationally televised battle against Hardy (Bazooka) Small wood of Brooklyn. The oddsmakers gave Jones of Yonkers, N. Y., a 3 to 1 edge over Smallwood, who has been on the short end of more split decisions than he has won. Both fighters originally had planned to be home in front of their television sets tonight, watching the Carmen Basilio Johnny Saxton welterweight championship fight instead of trading punches in front of the cameras. Replacement Bout Basilio won a five-week delay when he revealed he had an in jured right hand, and Match maker Larry Atkins signed Jones and Smallwood as the replace ment headliner. Jones' last appearance in Cleveland was an April meeting last year with Gene Fullmer. He closed fast against the Utah slugger, who was to become mid dleweight champion, and had no qualms about protesting the unanimous verdict awarded Fullmer. A loss tonight to the lower ranked Smallwood would un doubtedly stymie Jones' cham pionship hopes. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE By UNITED PRESS Goalie Norm Defelice, pressed all the way by the hard-shooting Detroit Red Wings, handled his first assignment as replacement for the -suspended Terry Saw chuk in a somewhat nervous but creditable fashion Thursday night. The 23-year-old net minder, 'called up from Hershey of the American Hockey league for the second time this season to fill in for Sawchuk. shook off his nerv ousness of the first period and then settled down as the Bruins and Red Wings battled to a 2-2 tie in. the only game played in the National Hockey league. The tie cut Montreal's lead over second place Detroit to four points. Boston, in third place, is six points off the pace. FRUIT GROWERS You'll Buy a uU.BE AM WHEN YOU cSoV Desi9n V s Ensines Hubbard-Wray Med ford, Its object is to produce 60 minutes of sustained speed and action and the unlimited substi tution "on the fly" is one of its most outstanding features. Essentially it is a simple game. Those watching it for the first few times should not be too much concerned with the col ored and dotted lines and circles on the ice. They all have their special function which the spec tator will absorb quickly. Basically it is a contest be tween two teams, using six play ers each at any one time each trying to put the "puck" into the opponents' "goal" by means of their sticks which they em ploy with wizardly skill. Awesome To Witness The first impression the new fan will get in his closeness to the action will be his personal identification with the actions of the players. At first he will be struck by the constant surg ing of play from one end to the other, the crashing of bodies and the heavy thud of the puck off the boards and the goaltender. Gradually he will recognize the sheer artistry of the goal keeper as he uses different tac tics and maneuvers to keep the puck out of his net and "clear" it for one of his own players in an effort to launch a counter attack. The goalie has two defense men to protect him. Their chief job is to prevent the opponents from maneuvering into a scoring position by riding off or steer ing them into , the corners and intercepting the puck by antici pation, "poke" checking the puck off his opponent's stick. The arts of the three for wards are directed primarily to scoring goals and to do this they must have speed, deception of movement, stick-handling abil ity and a hard accurate shot. Most of all they must be able to work as a unit. To get maxi mum results' a forward must be able to make fast, accurate passes and receive them from an angle while traveling at top speed. Watch how he will pick up a pass with his skates when he is unable to reach it with his stick. Note Faking Movements Watch also how the puck car rier will use his body or the puck to decoy an opponent into the first move in an effort to pass him. The forward must 'also be a good checker, adept in taking the puck away from the other team, either with his stick or by body-checking him. Throughout the - constant at tack and counter-attack will also appear the strategy of the coach. His ingenuity in substituting his players to get his strongest line against the other team's weak est checkers, or juggling his best checkers against the opponent's strong line when he is ahead and trying to protect the lead, is all part of the battle of wits between the coaches. But above all to get the maxi mum enjoyment from hockey, you should be partisan. The only non-partisan fellows are the three men in the striped shirts the referee and the two lines men. COMPARE! Workmanship Co. Oregon Friday, January 18, 1937 Sal Maglie Signs 1957 Dodger Pact By UNITED PRESS Sal Maglie, who won the "money" games for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956, signed an agree ment today that figures to keep him rolling in the "green stuff" for the remainder of 1957. The crafty right hander, who made an amazing comeback with the Dodgers after the Cleve land Indians let him go in a waiver deal last May, quickly reached agreement with Brook lyn Vice President Buzzy Bavasi for a salary believed to be $30,000. While the figure is not too im posing, it still is regarded as quite high for a guy who will be 40 years old on April 2b. Few major league clubs have been known to give away their money, but in Maglie's case the Dodgers are only too happy. After the Dodgers clinched the National League pennant last fall, the Brooklyn official fam ily, including President Walter O'Malley, Bavasi and Manager Walter Alston, agreed it couldn't have been done without Sal. Down the stretch run Maglie was near perfect. He won eight of nine games, including a no- hit, no-run game against the Phil adelphia Phillies. He won 13 games in all and lost five, posted an earned run average of 2.87, fourth best in the National league, and wound up as the club's "bread and butter" pitcher in the final hectic weeks of the close race with the Milwaukee Braves and Cincinnati Redlegs. Just to prove he still had some rubber left in his aging right arm, Sal opened the World Series with the Yankees by beat ing Whitey Ford and lost the fifth game when he ran up agains Don Larsen's perfect game. His signing gave the Dodgers 23 players under contract, sec- and only to the St. Louis Cardi nals who have 30 players in the fold. The New York Giants, Mil waukee Braves, and Chicago White Sox also announced some signings, but for 'the most part they involved lesser players. Left handed pitcher Pete Bumside, rookie catcher Bob Schmidt and outfielder Bill Taylor signed with the Giants; the Braves lined up second base man Ed Charles: the Orioles signed first baseman Bob Hale, and the White Sox corralled a pair of youngsters for their farm clubs.
