MONTREAL, Jan. B ——(CP) __. Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings battled to 5 l-1 stale- mate tonight in a National Hockey League game that left the top- Dlace Red Wings and fifth-place Canadiens. unchanged in their positions.

Despite the tie. it was the smart- est exhibltlon put on by the Mont- realers in their last few games and only the great work of Harry Lrrn- ley in the Detroit nets saved his club. playing tiwlce in as nnany nights, from what. could have been a rout.

humley turned back 83 shots against Bill Durham's 11. so great was tlhe Canadien pressure, partic- ularly in the first two periods.

Added to Litmleys great goal- tending was a weakness in shooting accuracy by the Montrealers. Of 12 shots drilled at Lurnley in the first

period, Maurice Richard missed three excellent chances. SUMMARY First Period Scoring — None. Penalties - Lindsay. I. ac (h.

Maxim Favored To Win Over Olle Tandherg

NEW YORK, Jan. 3 - (AP) — Olie Tandiberg. the tall Swede who made headlines by upsetting Joe Baksi lust July, makes his American pro debut tcmorrow night at Mad- ison Square Garden against fav- ored Joe Maxim of Cleveland, a "cute" boxing master.

Ordinarily there would have been little interest in this l0-round contest. But since the Joe Louis- Jersey Joe Walcott affair, every fight involving heavyweights has its angles.

If Tandberg shows enough sbil- ity to outsmart the foxy Maxim. he will move into the front row of heavyweight contenders. behind Walcott. Maxln, beaten tlwlce in three starts by Jersey Joe. almost has to win by a knockout to re- celve important recognition.

Only close students qr European boxing ever heard of Tandberg be- fore he outlpointed Baksl. July 6, just when the Kulpmont, Pa.“ clouter was headed for a Septem- ber title date with Joe Louis. Be- cause the flght was held in Stock- holm. Otto's home town, many have taken a dim view of the ver- dict.

It's up to Tandberg. in his firstI pro start on this side of the pond. to prove that the upset of Baksi was no fluke.

Big Olle will have a tremend- ous weight advantage as he ex- pects to come in at about 206 pounds to 181 for Maxim. The odd makers have installed Maxim as an early favorite. laying 9 to b against, the Swede.

The R..C.A.1'-‘. team were defeat. ed by ll"! Lfiklon of Summerside by the score of 3 to 4, but the air- men showed enough hockey abil. Iiy to assure the Town League of close competition during its sched- ule. The boys hadn't had much practice and they were out-played, perhaps a bit more than even the score would indicate. but they showed flashes of nice hockey. They seemed to depend too much on stickhandling st which they were fill-ill NlPPl- Mid 0n occasion got in each other's way. They were slow in breaking but didn't, lack gpped once they got under way.

We think it ls pretty important l" milking up minor hockey teams that the boys composing the team; l" fully in the age zroup which they claim to be in. It is vworth go. ing to a little trouble to find out about any cases where there is the slightest doubt. Th‘; physical m. M" program that we are now try- inx I0 much to promote must be something more fhln l, physical fitness program if it is to be really successful. Remember the Hitler Youth were very well trained as far as the physical s‘de was con- cerned. surely we must go fur- ther than that. It is important to develop the youngsters physically, yes. but we must alsoteach them that victory is s cheap and tarn- ished thing fir not secured by fair means. Allowing a young hockey player to gain an advantage by lying about his age sells him the idea right at the start that crime does pay and this can easily lead to serious consequences in his la- ter life. nigh siIIEE-F. a, Conrad 22o.
