ART ROSS, KNOWN AS BEST
OF ALL HOCKEY PLAYERS, TO
BECOME A BENCH MANAGER
Every sport has its particular
hero.
In hockey Arthur Ross of the Mon
treal Wanderers, generally is consid
ered ihe greatest player of his day.
Art Kos.s' day has extended over a
periotl of many years. Recently word
was received that the great star was
talking of retiring. If he does he will
he showing better ense than did
many another veteran by quitting the
name which has made hitn famous he
fore he draws the inevitable i ink slin
in his envelope. This season he will
manage the Wanderers from the
bench.
When Art Ross quits hockey the
winter game will lose "t'.e greatest
player it ever produced." That bat
tered title has been tossed about a
bit, conferred on first one and then
another, but when they have all been
rattled through the sifter Ross stands
out as the brainiest, most consistent
ly brilliant player, over a long period
( years, that the game has ever
kiown.
.Six feet in height, perfectly propor
tioned, always in the pink of condi
tion, Ross in his heyday added to
these assets terrific speed and a stick
wizardry that was little short of mar
velous. In later days he has lo.-t his

high flight ot speed, but the ability
to puzzle opponents with sheer stick
skill has not deserted the bin Scots
man. All hough he does not flash and cir
cle about the ice with the meteoric
dash of-ywre, opposing defense still
find it a difficult task to get the puck
off Ross' elusfe twisting stick.
Add to this a hockey brain of far
more than average keenness, which
stored up the experience of many
years, and Ross is still today a for
midable addition to any team.
The ice game has never had a
smarter player than Ross. How,
when playing with Ottawa, he
euchercd the Wanderers out of the
championship of 1914-15 is still fresh
in the minds of contemporary fans.'
Ottawa came to Montreal for the
final of the home and home with a
lead of three or four goals.
The dope was that Ottawa would
try to make its defensive stand
through a strong offense, and that
was the style for which th Wander
ers primed themselves. Instead, when
the game started Ross spread out
three players in a barrier in front of
the Ot.wa net. Wanderers could
not fathom this switch at all. The
red hoops went up in the air, demor
alized, scored only one goal in the
game, and lost the chance to go to the
coast.

"The duty of making the return
rests on the individual," said Col
lector LoomTs. "We have a' list 'of
many thousand names of Nebraskans
'vho are liable to the tax. Blanks will
be mailed to them. But people fail
ing to receive these blanks must ap
ply at the office of the collector in per
son or by mail or telephone for the
blanks. They must be filltd out and
returned by March 1. failure to make
returns subjects the individual to a
line ranging from $20 to $1,000. A
supplv of blanks will be at the South
Side city hall to facilitate distribu
tion there."
Nebraskans On List.
The collector estimates that 70.000
persons in Nebraska will be subject'
to the tax. In Douglas county 7,000
persons 1 ave incomes large enough
to be taxed. Some other counties
have taxable incomes as follows:
Lancaster, 3,000; Dodge, 750; Cedar,
500; Wayne, 350; Wakota, 2i0. From
these' figures they range down to 25
in Thomas county.
About one person in 30 will have
to pay the war income tax. The tax .'
is payable on or before June 15, 1918. 1
It was suggested by one' patriot
that jf the government would stop
printing congressmen's speeches for
distribution to the nation the depart
ment of printing might supply such
necessities as the war income tax
blanks on time.
