...tape and bandage around ligaments he had torn away from his left collarbone shortly before the series. They came from behind in the third period of the deciding game with Ottawa, scored three times in three minutes, won at 5 to 2. Howie Morenz of the Canadiens, the fastest skater in hockey, his round, heavy shoulders hunched toward his stick, his strong legs pumping in characteristic gait resembling a shuffle, but matchless in speed, broke a tie and won his team's series by curling a high shot past Gardner, frenzied Chicago goalie, who had stopped everything...

She skates a little every and between times dances, dines, goes the theatre...
