(ith the season half over, these Frenchmen” with an almost istible attack and perfectly co- ordinated play in all departments | gained a substantial lead over the and the Montreal Maroons who ap- | peared to be their principal rivals. A goodly share of the credit for {the Montreal team’s sensational , clean-up goes to the crack scoring laces of its forward line. At the 20- game point, Aurel Joli: vas lead- ing Howie Morenz by a few points jfor league scoring honors and Art Gagne was not far behind the lead- ers.

They were defeated by the Detroit Cou- gars 2-9 on November 27 and then for more than a month and a half the only points they dropped were tie games with Boston, Pittsburgh and Ottawa, The Maroons previous- ly tied them. As evidence of the defensive and offensive strength of the Canadiens, the standings show that only 18 goals—an average of less than one goal per game—have been scored against George Hainsworth, 63, or an average of more then three while | goals per game have been registered | PLAY IN THIRD DISTRICT MERT { Feb. 1 Is Final Reg- istry Date | Fifteen high schools of the third ball teams in the annual third dis- | trict tourney that will be held at the state training school in Mandan on March 1, 2 and 3, according to J.

Rogers Hornsby, “Bo,” McMillin, Sully Montgomery, Pete Donohue,} Matty Bell and Bill James grew up almost together in Fort Worth and were members of the same “gang.” Hornsby graduated from the Fort Wort’, sandlot to the old Texas- Oklahoma league circuit, from which he went to the St. Louis Car- dinals, a world’s championship and world renown. Donohue’s career was nearly as meteoric, though he was of a later day than Hoansby. He went to Texas Christian University, starred on the baseball team, and went di- rectly to Cincinnati and major league stardom. James played football together at the North Side high school here, then all went to Centre College, where they made football history for the “Praying Colonels” from 1919 to 1922, McMillin now is coaching foot- ball at_ Geneva College, Beaver Falls, Pa.; James is line coach for the University of Texas, and Mont- gomery is struggling for laurels in the ring. Matty Bell went from the North Side high school to Centre, was a gridiron star, and now is coaching at Texas Christian. Man o’ War’s Sons against their opponents.
