TODAY IN SPORTS Nod Lyons of Oklahoma City was .in town Monday. Noel Lyons is a big ice man. He freezes water for pleasure purposes exclusively, but sells the pleasure for aprofit. o his business is just as commercial a that of the Metro Utilities, or the makers of the gas and eectric chill boxes. Noel Lyons wants to put a hockey team in Omaha. The team would be a member of the American association, which last season included Kansas City, St- Louis, Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Next winter it will have six maybe eight members * * m Foreigner Hometowners Noel Lyons talked with some of Ak Sar Ben’s noblest knights- They were interested. Presently they may an nounce that there was a meeting of th minds, as Prof. Bullock used to say in com|nercial law class, the re sult of which will be the decent, come December, of a covey of hardy French-Canucks on our town- These Canucks would become, for rooting purposes, just as simonpure, native bom hometowners as, say Julius Bel ford, or Bob Koran. Canada has pretty much f a comer on the production of pro hockey play ers. Is rder for hckey to be profit able the old hometowners fight must be nurtured and encouraged. The customers must kid themselves into believing that a lot of Pierres and Alphonses are bom defenders of the municipl honor, just as in the summer time they mut fool themselves into seeing the outfielder from Racoon, Gorgia and the third basemn from Paw Paw, Michign, s bom defenders of the municipal hosor on the baseball yard. * * • What’s This Honor? I’ve never been able to learn just what is this honor that’s so habitually challenged on the field of sport; nor to dicover, no matter what it is, why it is so continually in need of defense. Being wared, cynical nature, I’ye often suspected that it’s a sort of straw sprite, set up by opportune ballyhooists and promoters to be knocked down by the enthusiastic whoops of deluded payng customers but I’m not going to twang any longer on this theme and spoil a lot of trustful folks’ideas Besides we were dealing with ice—ice and hockey * * * They Go Wild Mr. Noe ILyons feels that hockey would go over big in Omaha, That’s just what he said—hockey would go over big. “It’s the fastest, mst thrilling, most dangerous hair raising sport there is,” said Mr- Lyons. “People go wild over it.” Mr. Lyons had a lot more adjectives but this will give you a general idea how he feels about the product he has for sale- It might be appropiate to note at this place that a good many hardened old sports observers agree with Mr- Lyons- Two notable ex ceptions do not Hockey, said D^mon Runyon, in effect is hooey, tiresome, boring. Hockey, said Westbrook Pegleg, in effect, is hooey tiresome, boring. Grantland Rice once wrote a poem about it- He thought it the thrilling est chillingest, most marvelous, won derfullest sport- Mr- Rice applies the same description to other sports, in seaon- Mr- Rice doesn’t want to be called a knocker, or destructive critic. * * * Got 35 Horses It would cost Ak-Sar Ben—or any other corporation or individual around 35 horses to make the Coliseum ready for hockey Approximately 18 miles of 1% inch pipe would have to be laid over the present terrazo floor, then another terrazo floor laid over thfe pipes- The pipes carry the stuff that makes the water turn harder than a gangsters moll Mr. Yyons mentioned only the Ak Coliseum as a possible site what do you think?
