Canadian Press Staff Writer

TORONTO. Dec. 2'1 -(GP) - Lionel Conacher, the "Big Train" of the gridiron. is the outstanding football player of tihe half century.

He-was chosen tonight by sports

hat for being the star of the; gainc. but there wasn't 3. man (ml the Islamlcrs roster that wasn't a. standout. in the contest. Walter! Patvl, hyn's four-goal scoring cf-' fort was the deciding factor thati gave him the Henderson and Cud- mote award. .

Altliough local fans are talking on every corner about lsian-ders top-tligiit performance, there is another topic that is even more the feature topic under discussion. island fans are asking some very pertinent questions these days. and it is just this. "What is the Halifax Club trying to pull off by sending eleven and twelve men rosters over here for Charlotte- town home games? Are they try- ing to kill gates at Islanders home games by sending a skeleton re- presentation here that can't even begin to cope with the home club?" These are good questions and are going to take some an- swering if the Saint Mary's club, don't do something about it post haste. C O I It has been a point of note all season that Halifax has been ic- ing full-strength rosters at their home games in the Nova Scotia Capital that have been giving fans there top-notch games against islanders and packing the rink in the doors: but have been con- tinually sending an iivnderstrength team to t-he Island. In a total of eight games with Halifax over Charlottetown "ice. Saint Mary's have only been the victor once by a 2-1 margin. Of course the Is- landers are the big reason for that. O O I

But it has been only in the last week that local fans have been starting to voice their displeasure. and they can hardly be blamed when you look at the facts. Send- ing an aggregation of i2 men here last Friday night. that was a mere shadow of the team at their disposal, islanders whipped them 5-l. Again here Tuesday they sent over an ll-man crew to con- test the league leaders and took the worst drubbing that any team on the circuit has received this sci-lson. including last place Monc- ion.

0 I 0

Yet last Thursday night at Hall- fax, Saint Mary's iced their full lineup against Islanders that pro- duced the hottest game in the league this season, with nothing less than ispired hockey playing on the part of the Islanders in the last minutes of the game, forc- ing the contest to a 5-5 deadlock. There were no serious injuries evidenced during that clash. yet Saintamarians ice it dozen men, tninus some of their top players. at Charlottetown the following night.

And that is not all, either. Here on Tttcsday night their star goalie, Ed D'Aoust sat on the Halifax bench while Halifax used a new goalie for the first time over lo- cal ice. who let five goals go by him in the opening session alone. What do Halifax think Island fans are anyway”! A bunch of yokels who dnnlt know what is going on? Even Club President Tom Rogers took a dint View of the situation. and made a point of it to consult the Halifax management about it. They told President Rogers they ”wcie just trying out Eiirnie Yea-. don." and admitted that there was nothing the matter with D'Aoust to keep him out of the game. Pre- sident Rogers' comment to that was ”suiely five goals in the first period should have been tryout enough." Major Tom also stat- ed that he has complained twice

greats of the past 50 years. Conacher. a Toronto Argonaut giant. in the 19205 and e. headliner in lacrosse. baseball. hockey. box- ing and Wl'eSl'.llng as well. had al- most three tlmes as many votes as his nearest rival, Joe Krol. bril- liant kicking half of today's Argos.

Argos Best. Team

In the same vote Argonauts were chosen the best football team of the half-century, giving them at clean sweep of the football section of title poll.

The 1930 Grey Cup winners took a close contest by two votes. The Queen's University teams of the early '20s and Montreal Alouettes. 1949 Canadian champions. tied for secon-d. Argonauts consolidated their position with added votes foi- their 1937 and 1938 teams, both Grey Cup winners.

Hamilton Tigers of 1928 were only a. vote behind Qu.eern's and A13 and their 1932 outfit also won A vote. Both Tiger teams won the Grey Cup. Calgary Stampeders. who defeated Ottawa Rough Rid- ers in the 1948 Canadian final. trailed with tihe Montreal Winged Wheelers of 1931. another Grey Cup team, and the 1910 University of Toronto Club.

Altihough Americans who had competed for a full season were eligible for the outstanding foot- baller vote, only two were named in the voting. Not a lineman was mentioned and players who star- red before 1920 drew no votes.

Fritz Hanson. the speedy blonde half who brought the West. its first east-rwest title in the 1935 Winnipeg-Hamilton cup game. was in third place. and Frank Filchock. Alouctleis prilliarit quarterback. took fifth place. tine only other American import who drew votes.

Harry Batstone and Pop Lead- lay. the great running and kicking: halves who won Queen's national titles in 1922 and 1923. were prom- inent. Batstone took fourth. Lead- lay was mentioned along with Ab Box. hhe Balmy Beach and Argon- aut kicker. and Tony , Ottawa lunger. Hugh (Bummer) Stirling. who booted Sarnia to their Grey Cup win in 1934. also drewa

to Halifax team management about sending undenstrengt-h rosters to the island. but he said ”I never got any satisfaction from them."

voi e. Conacher Thriller! Fens

Conacher, now 50. Liberal mem- ber of Parliament for Toronto Trinity. a successful business men and the father of five, thrilled fans of the 20.1 when football was a different game from today's variety. '

VViDh0llt. the forward pass. em- phasis was on kicking and run- ning the ends as well and plung- ing. and Conacher was good at all of them. Thousands of older fans have an unforgettable memory of Conacher-a peaked cap pulled down on his forehead and wearing old-fashioned, short canvas foot- boll pants-galloping down 9. grid- iron with his distinctive high-knee action.

In his first year of senior foot- ball he led Argos to a 23-0 victory over Edmonton Eskimos in the cast-west final. Turning pro in hockey cut short his football car- eer but not before he had sampled the American variety when he played on the Bellefonte Academy team at Pittsburgh. Then, when he was over 30. he appeared brief- ly with a professional team which played exhibition games in Tor- onto in 1933.

As an outstanding all-round

athlete. Conacher starred in wrestling. boxing. lacrosse. base- ball, footzball. and became one of the greatest defencemim of his dav in professional hockey. ' He was a. better-tthan-average sculler. swam well and run 100 yards in 10.4 seconds in a baseball uniform. He boxed four exhibit- ion rounds with Jack Dempsey and won the praise of the heavy- weight. champion.

Possessed of a powerful physique and phenomenal endurance. he of- ten played in lacrosse and baseball or football and hockey in the same day and starred in them all.

Conacher didn't, try to skate un- til .he was 16 but six years later he refused an offer of 55.000 to play with Montreal Canadiens. He turned pro in 1926 and stayed in the big time for 11 years. first with New York Americans, later with Chicago Black Hawks and then. when he ” washed up. staged a brilliant comeback with Montreal Maroons.

for the situation on Tuesday night. . '

He did the best he could, but it is doubtful if any goalie could have done anything to stop the Islanders the way they were roll- ing on Tuesday night. But

the satisfaction of knowing they were meeting the best opposition that Halifax had to offer.

0 O C

Sure Island fans want to see their team win. But they want to see some opposition while they are doing it. Victories like last Tuesday night are hollow ones for any team or fan who likes to play and watch good hockey. but they are not going to put up with "puss in the comer" tactics by Halifax. The Sain-tamarian management

want. to pull up their socks in a.

hurry. or there is likely to bi- diplomatic fireworks ahead.

MONCNN. N. 3.. Dec. 2'! - (OP)-Halifax St. Mary's upped in three goals in the lat plrlod tonight to take 3 5-3 win over cellnr-dwelling Moncton Hawks in a Maritime Major Hockey League game.

Danny Wilkes. Hughio Campbell. Frank Grabowskl. Hennesuy and Willie Watson were the see for the I-lsltgoninns. Frank Imonti led the Hawk attack with I pair of goals and Mike Demchuk netted the other.

After numerous near misses through In under-manned Monc- ton defence for two periods. the Bentamarlans found the range in the final ft-tune. one of their markers coming in the dying lec- onds at the contest while I-!I.wk.s were playing six forward: in I

desperate attempt to not the count. The first period was scoreless

and the teams scored two goals each in the second. .

Hawks led 3-2 at the 12-minute mark of the last: period on Imonhi's second goal of (me night. But St. Mary's again tied the score a min- ute later on I goal by Grabowski. and Hennessey and Watson went. on to give the visitors I two-goal margin over the Moncteniana.

The game was cleanly played. only one penalty being handed out to McLaughlin. in the first period. St. Mary's dominated territorial play most of the way. outshooting the Hawks 32 to 16.

Both teams were short.-handed. St. Mary's used 13 players. two of them. Hennessey and Carver. from the Halifax Junior League.

Hawks used 11 regulars and drafted Jus Lenlanc from the Moncton Industrial League for de- fence duty. Joe De'monte and Larry Dunville were the only reg- ular tlefencemen used. Jean Paul Jeanneau and Charlie Phillips were released last week-end. and Gus Cvalipea-u has been called to Worm- sooket. R.I., by the death of his mother.
