“ALL SET, LEFTY.” Trainer Lefty Wilson of the Indianapolis Capitals took one look at me and busted out in a huge roar. I was glad my 17 teammates were already on the ice. “What's the big ha-ha for?” Lefty was laughing so hard he couldn't answer while he checked my goalie outfit. In a few minutes I was to get my baptism of flying hockey pucks at yesterday's first home practice for the Caps. “Your gear looks like it won't fall off, I guess,” Lefty said. “Now go out and tell Coach Johnny Mowers you're ready.” (More guffaws.) My goalie stick was splattered with something that I thought looked very much like dried blood. Lefty said I was right. That's what I was afraid of. “Do you have a catcher's mask, Lefty?” Apparently he didn’t have because I was pushed out of the dressing room with leg pads bumping together at a fast clip.
Goalie Ready for Attack
COACH MOWERS had started the session with three men rushing two men on defense with the goalie to back them'up. Goalie Ralph (Red) Almas poised for action as Cliff Simpson, Tony Licari and Nelson Podolsky bore down on him. Dan Summers and Hugh Miller slammed into the three expressmen, breaking up the play momentarily. Podolsky snatched the puck and slammed it against Almas’ thick glove. Ah ha, foiled. It wasn’t that I got scared or anything like that but I just hesitated to get my skates wet. They were so nice and clean. Frankly, I enjoyed the practice session until Lefty slapped me on the back and wanted to know why I wasn’t out there. Before I could say that I suddenly developed a terrific headache, I was looking into the proverbial “whites of their eyes.” From the sidelines Red Almas was yelling, “Keep your eyes on the puck.” From in front of the cage I was yelling to my defensemen, Al Dewsbury and Ed Nicholson to “Stop ’em at all costs.” Barry Sullivan, Bruce Burdett and Fernand Gauthier weren't in a speaking mood.

No Need for Excitement EVERYONE WAS UNHAPPY but me. Why get so_excited? This wasn’t tomorrow night and those weren't St. Louis Flyers out there. Twice more, three brutes with homicide in their eyes charged my quivering domain, The defense held on the second try, We all yielded on the third. A bellyflop didn't stop the puck. I flopped too soon. ’ The coach, who spent four years in front of the cage for the Detroit Red Wings, came over and suggested I take a short powder for my stellar work. It seems my hockey was a bit unorthodox.
All through shooting practice I cooled my heels on the ice. Oh, I took a couple of swipes at the puck on the other end of the rink but no one noticed. A goalie’s stick isn't built for high-velocity shooting.
I couldn't even interest the rinkmen with my exploits on the ice back in ‘36 and '37 for the Hammond Mohawks. Never heard of the team, they said. Coach Mowers called a halt to practice. One hour would do for that morning since the boys would be performing for public in the evening,
Sweatshirt Still Dry
THE OLDTIMERS rushed for the dressing room. And there I stood, my sweatshirt as dry as when I put it on. “Hey, goalie,” someone called from the ice. “How about stopping a few?” The three newcomers (I won't call my new friends rookies) on the Cap team wanted more action. Don Morrison, Lee Fogolin and Marty Pavelich had their sticks in firing position. All they lacked was a bullseye to shoot at. “Fire one.” They're eager, mighty eager. A heck of a lot more than I was after they started peppering away. There were some grandstand shots, too. I hope the boys don’t get overconfident with their shooting. After all, I'm not as good as Red Almas. But then I haven't talked to the coach about playing regular,
The Missus Is Angry By Robert C. Ruark a — —
NEW YORK, Oct. 15—~My crown of thorns, or, as she puts it, the pearl in my diadem, has gone into the economics business in a large fashion and while the report may be somewhat wordy I do not believe the girl is completely caught off base. She is raging mad momentarily about practically everything and there is nothing to say but “Yes, dear,” which I am saying, and I am also giving ear to the beef, which is what you do in these cases. I am sick and tired, she says, of paying $3.54 for a scrawny old chicken and from now on we desert the earth for the greater, fuller life in the boozeroos, because you can eat cheaper at a nightclub on the ala carte today than you can eat in your happy, happy little home. And you are apt to get James Mason served with the entree. If I become a cafe society character and start getting into the tabloids you can blame it all on economics, because I have been literally driven from the bosom of my family by the grocery bills.
Mr. Luckman a Nice Man
THAT IS NOT ALL, she says, without taking time out for breath, that young Mr. Luckman may be a nice man and a comer in the soap busineds and an expert huckster, but he is not going to sell me any idea of feeding the starving millions until such time as somebody shows me how to feed the starving duet I run right here. By duet, my pet, she says, I mean you and me and those occasional characters you collect to come in and chow off the surplus. We have not always been rich enough to buy a hamburg sandwich without checking the cash reserve, she says, and I am tired of bleeding for the hordes over yonder when I know too many people right here who are cashing in the bonds to try to make the ends meet. If I am corny, she says, making ends meet is a national pastime, and we must go along with the corn, because a hungry American is just as hungry as a hungry Frenchman, Englishman or Greek, and when are we going to start a mission for the relief of the peace-torn Yankees?
There has been such a hustle, she says, to take care of the world, that we have neglected the fact that we have to live, too, and it is my opinion that the $50-a-week guy here today is no better off than the Italian peasant or the French petit bourgeois or the little man in London with the cockney accent. And, my master, she says, I am fairly well qualified to comment because I have been a traveling lady lately, due to the expense account, and I do not see how an American with holes in his pants and a growling in his gut is any less hole-ful or hungry than the foreign neighbors. If you read the papers you will see, she says, where a family of five can dine sumptuously off a daily menu worth $3.51 or $2.83 per diem. One comes down to 256 bucks a week and the other comes to nearly $20—without hamburger. I was weaned, she says, on the idea that the food you ate wasn't supposed to take more than 25 per cent of what you brought home after the withholding taxes and the bookmakers’ cut, and if you can tell me how a busdriver can spend half of it for food, and still send the female children to Vassar, I will subside into my indignation.
Now She’s Really Mad
YOU ARE ALWAYS HOLLERING about expenses, she says, but you are holding still for a grocery bill which would buy me a winter coat and it is time we had the OPA back or else we should secede from world salvation ‘or at least start some sort of relief society for the people at home or fire the President or something. _ What I want, she says, is equality for us, and less concentration on saving the world until we can figure out how to feed us without hocking the family junk jewelry, and most of all, I would I to take a machine gun and work on practically &verybody, because that is how mad I am. And as for ‘the food-savings program that Mr. Luckman is trying to do right now, I think it will work fine, she says. Because the way the budget is running I do not see how anybody who is making less than a grand a week can afford to eat at anything.
Stassen’s ‘We
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15~~In all America there are two men, only, who will admit as of today that they hanker to be President. An 80-year-old Chicago vegetarian, with white whiskers, is one. The other is Harold E. Stassen of South St. Paul, Minn.,, who shaves daily with a double-edged safety razor and eats meat when he can get it, except on Tuesdays. The rest of the candidates, if any, are too bashful to say so. They are sb shy that they blush when riding down Pennsylvania Ave. and avert their eyes when passing the house at No. 1600. -- 1 doubt if the ancient Chicagoan has much chance. So the time obviously has come to tell you something about Stassen, who has been campaigning around the country for months in hopes of landing the country's top Job. ,He drops off in Washington at intervals to rest his larynx, take a good look at the White House (which is especially handsome these fall days), and report to the press how the votes seem to be stacking. During his current breather he rented a small dining room in a hotel and so many political prognosticators joined me there that Stassen ran out of spindly legged gilt chairs. \

Greek Army Gives Data on Shooting
ATHENS, Oct. 15 (UP)—An official Greek Army report today gave additional details of the firing by Greek guerrillas on two U, 8. Congressmen touring northern Greece. The representatives, Olin E. Teague (D. Tex), and Donald L. Jackson (R. Cal), were due back in Athens today. The Army reports said the guerrilla fire occurred when the Congressmen and their escort were entering Kastanousa, north of Kilkis, about a mile and a half from the juncture of the Bulgarian, Yugoslav and Greek frontiers. Greek artillery replied to the guerrilla mortar fire and the mortars
editorial ‘we’, or you and somebody else?” Stassen said he supposed it was a campaign “we.” When he said “we”*he meant “me.” “And I think we have gained ground with both | the people and the Republican party,” he said. The flashlights were making glistening reflections on his semi-bald noggin and he unbuttoned his weltailored blue coat; the room was hot, and smokefilled to boot. Mr. Stassen said he was confident, but not too confident. He has rented an airplane from United Airlines to take him on what the politicos call a whirlwind tour. Tomorrow he talks to some wholesale druggists in Chicago.
Many Dates Ahead
HE'LL BE IN New York next Tuesday; in Long Beach, Cal, Oct. 30; in his own home town Nov, 13: in Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 17; in Orlando, Fla, three days later, and in Milwaukee Nov. 24. He'll be in many another place, too, with seldom a stop in the speechmaking except for a quiet Sunday in Denver, where he will go to church in the morning and take a hike in the afternoon. If any reporters want to go along, Mr, Stassen said that could be arranged. Somebody asked him whether he'd made any deals with Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio. He said he had deep respect for Mr. Taft's ability, integrity and sincerity, but he’d made no deals. He said he considered himself a little more on the liberal side than the Senator. He said he thought President Truman should have
