Over 70, Pair Real Athletes

EDMONTON. Feb. 1.--C. P.) : Well over the four-score-and-ten mark, two Edmonton athletes, dancers and wrestlers, can give the younger generation something to strive for.

Showing no regard for their years. the pair frequently engage in hectic "catch-as-catch-can" com- bat, or in a. tap dance routine at‘ a local hotel, where sometimes they stage special shows for their friends.

William McChesney, the eldest, hailing from Spokane, Washington, points proudly to his 77 years. He came to Edmonton 1n 1890. His partner in the dance and opponent on the mat. James Coggins, is 78.

For years the pair have been staging friendly wrestling bouts. But the championship still hangs in the balance. McChemey thinks highly of his partner. "He's gentle, and he has never bitten nor gouged an eye out since we started." he SHYS.

Coggins came to Edmonton from London, 0nt., in i884, and he says he is "pretty well accllmatized."

McChesney, who boasts that he is "young in years but not in crime," says he has come in contact with everybody “but the chief of police."

On the other hand there is the Rangers, a smooth, fast-skating club that is the most specfacular in the league to watch in action. On the other are the determined Ab- bles who will give their all to notch up the victory. The siiuation makes for a stirring hockey battle.

Outcome of the game at Boston will be felt in both divisions of the League. Leafs are working up a fighting brand of hockey in the fight for first place while Boston need a win to keep pace with Ran- gers in the battle for third place in the American division for which they are tieg with the blue-sh‘ ts.

Detroit can take a one-point lead 1n their division with a win over Lester Patrick's men but addition of youth mixed cannily with veteran craft apparently has made Rangers more powerful than at any time this season and Red. Wings are fac- ed with a tough assignment.

“The setup for Foxx to better Ruth's record of 60 is perfect. He is joining a new club under ideal conditions. I wouldn't say Jimmy was bogged down with the Ath- letics last year but he had reached the stage where it was more or lees of a routine."

Foxx hit 36 home rum in 1085.

The bob runners had a flock of good news for one day. Earlier in the afternoon, J.

When the discussion was over, Stevens had gained a definite promise that when the bob-sledding-

Finally it was agreed that only in the event that it is definitely proved the American runners dum- age the course will they be barred.
