...Minnesota anglers held what they called the World's Original Ice Fishing Contest. At a given signal, 2,196 fishermen rushed out on frozen White Bear Lake near St. Paul, chopped holes in 28-inch ice and dropped in their bait. While 8,000 spectators watched (see cut), they fished for two hours. The winner, John Einum, got an outboard motor for catching a 5¼-lb. walleyed pike...
...Belgium, peasants whose barns were dangerously bare of fodder because of last summer's drought gratefully set their cattle to pasture in fields that had stayed green all winter long. Dutch bargemen poled happily along canals that were free of January ice for the first time since 1900.

He's made it possible for men like Crimson ice veterans John Garrison, Stan Priddy, Goodie Harding, and Dartmouth's '47 front line trio, Ralph Warburton, Bruce Mather, and Bruce Cunliffe to play hockey after college without becoming professionals. Brown gave Garrison use of the Garden for a month before the coach's departure for Europe, that the A.H.A. might...
