By

Was
it
a
mistake
for
the
Boston
Bruins
to
promote
Bobby
Orr
to
the
National
Hockey
League
when
he
was
only
18?
Are
Orr's
recurrent
knee
miseries
the
results
of
"too
much,
too
soon?"
Is
it
possible
that
one
of
the
truly
greatest
hockey
players
in
the
history
of
the
sport
Is
in
danger
of
being
washed-up
at
the
age
of
28
because
he
was
subjected
to
the
pressures
of
the
professional
league
before
he
had
attained
his
full
growth?
The
above
questions
are
pure
speculation.
These
theories
are
not
substantiated
by
any
medical
evidence
or,
at
any
rate,
Orr's
surgeons
certainly
aren't
making
any
confirmative
statements.
Nevertheless,
isn't
it
passing
strange
that
Bobby
Orr's
knees
continue
to
break
down
under
him
when
the
rest
of
his
body
is
in
such
magnificent
physical
condition?
Or,
is
it
possible
that
a
delightful
bid
coot,
named
Bonesetter
Bissett,
was
correct
in
his
scientifically
baseless
theories
about
"Vital
Juices?"
Bonesetter
Bissett
would
have
been
unalterably
opposed
to
letting
a
kid
like
Bobby
Orr
play
in
the
National
Hockey
League
until
he
was
at
least
20
or
21.
A
mutual
friend
introduced
me
to
Bonesetter
Bissett
during
a
rugger
match
between
Harlequins
and
United
Services
at
Twickenham,
England,
In
the
autumn
of
1946.
Bissett
enjoyed
a
mysterious
celebrity
in
athletic
circles.
He
was
an
unlicenced
physiotherapist
in
an
era
when,
really,
there
were
no
athletic
physiotherapists.
He
had
travelled
everywhere
and
he
had
seen
everything.
He
knew
a
great
deal
about
North
American
sports,
such
as
hockey
and
baseball,
because
he
had
spent
most
of
1932
on
this
continent
when,
as
an
unofficial
trainer
to
British
athletes,
he
attended
the
Winher
Olympic
Games
at
Lake
Placid
and
he
had
stayed
over
for
the
Summer
Olympic
Games
at
Los
Angeles.
Subsequently,
I
had
many
more
conversations
with
Bonesetter
Bissett
in
a
hotel
named
The
Moat
in
a
little
town
down
in
Kent
where
he
lived
in
comfortable
semi-retirement.
I
kept
notes
of
those
conversations
because
I
intended
to
write
a
book
about
him.
A
lady
named
Evie
Pettifer
distracted
me
from
writing
the
book
but,
I
kept
the
notes.
Mr.
Bissett
concocted
something
called
Cold
Cranberry
Vichysoisse,
to
which
he
attributed
his
own
vigorous
longevity.
When
he
arrived
at
The
Moat
each
evening,
he
was
carrying
a
bottle
of
crushed
cranberry
juice.
This
he
laced
liberally
with
gin
which
he
purchased
at
The
Moat's
bar.
Formidable!
In
fact,
Magnifique!
"Boys
Against
Boys,"
Mr.
Bissett
always
insisted,
"And
Men
Against
Men.
That's
the
way
it
should
be
in
sports.
No
boy
should
play
against
men
until
he's
at
least
20
or
21
and
his
internal
system
has
produced
his
full
quota
of
Vital
Juices."
Mr.
Bissett
elucidated
as
follows:
"I
have
a
theory
that
the
two
most
important
joints
in
an
athlete's
body
are
his
knees.
I
believe
that
the
body
generates
a
quantity
of
lubricant,
which
I
call
Vital
Juice.
I
maintain
that
an
athlete's
body
hasn't
produced
his
necessary
quota
of
this
lubricant
until
he
is
20
or
21.
"The
mysterious
glands
which
create
this
Vital
Juice
aren't
reproductive.
When
an
athlete
begins
to
have
trouble
with
his
knees,
it's
because
he's
used
up
his
supply
of
lubricant.
Corrective
surgery
helps
him
only
briefly.
Those
bones
in
his
knee
socket
just
keep
grinding
together
with
no
lubricant
to
ease
their
interaction.
The
poor
chap
tries
surgery,
again,
but
the
grinding
pain
finally
forces
him
to
retire
from
his
sport."
Bonesetter
Bissett
had
seen
many
hockey
games
and
many
baseball
games
during
his
seven-month
sojourn
in
North
America
for
the
Olympic
Games
of
1932.
"The
baseball
pitcher
is
a
different
breed
of
cat,"
Mr.
Bissett
theorized.
"The
most
important
joint
in
a
baseball
pitcher's
body
is
not
his
knees
but,
the
elbow
on
his
pitching
arm.
Time
and
time
again
when
I
was
in
America
I
saw
pitchers
being
forced
to
retire
prematurely
because
they
developed
a
'sore
arm,''
I
examined
their
records:
in
almost
every
case,
those
pitchers
had
been
brought
up
to
the
Major
Leagues
when
they
were
too
young.
They
were
throwing
a
fastball
and
a
slider
in
the
big
leagues
when
they
should
have
beem
playing
sandlot
baseball
against
boys
their
own
age.
They
had
exhausted
their
supply
of
Vital
Juice
which
lubricated
their
pitching-elbow.
"With
track
and
field
men,
the
sprinters
never
last
long.
Those
sprinters
put
terrific,
sustained
pressure
on
their
knees
and
they
use
up
their
Vital
Juice
within
a
very
few
years.
Distance
runners
and
marathoners
still
can
compete
until
they
are,
relatively,
old
men.
They
don't
put
the
same
kind
of
pressure
on
their
knees.
The
Vital
Juice
in
a
marathoner's
knees
last
forever.
But,
just
mark
my
words,
most
sprinters
will
have
chronic
rheumatism
before
they're
35."
Bonesetter
Bissett
was
equally
adamant
on
the
subject
of
hockey
players.
"The
hockey
player's
vulnerable
spot
is
his
knee,"
he
used
to
say
in
those
conversations
at
The
Moat.
"Remember
what
I
told
you:
It's
Boys
Against
Boys
and
Men
Against
Men!
If
you
set
a
boy
to
play
against
men
in
your
National
Hockey
League,
he
won't
have
had
time
to
develop
his
full
supply
of
knee
lubricant
and
knee
problems
will
force
him
to
quit,
before
his
time."
A
few
months
ago,
I
was
back
in
that
Kent
Village
for
the
first
time
since
1946
and
I
asked
about
Mr.
Bissett.
"He
was
killed
at
92,"
a
mutual
friend
told
me
sadly.
"The
old
boy
insisted
on
going
everywhere
on
his
bicycle.
'He
came
out
of
The
Moat
one
night
after
closing
hour
and,
in
the
dark,
he
had
a
head-on
collision
with
a
great
crashing
ten-ton
lorry.
He
was
killed
instantly.
The
autopsy
revealed
that
he
had
his
full
quota
of
Cold
Cranberry
Vichysoisse."
If
Bobby
Orr
had
met
Bonesetter
Bissett,
Bobby
might
have
played
two
extra
years
for
the
Oshawa
Generals,
instead
of
joining
the
Boston
Bruins
at
18.
And,
now,
he
wouldn't
have
those
knee
problems.
His
Vital
Juices
still
would
be
lubricating
his
joints.

Griffin
gets
dream
CINCINNATI
(AP)-Two-time
Heisman
Trophy
winner
Archie
Griffin,
the
all-time
leading
major
United
States
college
ground
gainer,
signed
a
multi-year
contract
Tuesday
with
Cincinnati
Bengals
of
the
National
Football
League.
Spurning
a
lucrative
offer
from
Montreal
Alouettes
of
the
Canadian
Football
League,
the
five-foot-nine,
182-pound
Ojio
State
ail-American
came
to
terms
with
the
Bengals
after
a
day
of
contract
discussions.
Mike
Brown,
assistant
general
manager
of
the
Bengals,
said
the
contract
was
a
longterm
agreement.
He
added,
"It
wasn't
one
of
the
easiest
negotiations
I've
been
through."
Griffin
said
the
Bengals
terms
were
substantially
lower
than
the
Montreal
offer
but
he
said
"the
dream
is
to
play
in
the
NFL."
Bengals
head
coach
Bill
Johnson
said
Griffin
is"
projected
as
a
factor
in
the
Bengals
backfield
next
year.
"We
know
some
people
questioned
his
size.
But
more
and
more
the
little
man
has
made
an
impact
in
pro
football.
That's
Coleman
not
a
detriment
atall.
How
far
Archie
goes
is
strictly
up
to
him."
Griffin
said
he
"welcomes
the
challenge"of
proving
that
he
can
stand
up
to
the
rigors
of
pro
football.
Passed
over
by
five
other
NFL
clubs
because
of
his
size,
Griffin
was
Cincinnati's
second
first-round
choice
and
the
24th
player
taken
in
last
month's
draft.
The
Columbus,
Ohio
native
was
the
first
running
back
ever
drafted
in
the
first
round
by
the
Bengals,
who
were
11-3
last
year
despite
the
absence
of
a
running
game.
One
report
said
the
Alouettes
offered
Griffin
a
six-year
contract
in
excess
of
$800,000.
Griffin,
a
shifty
speedster
who
surpassed
the
1,000-yard
mark
three
consecutive
years,
set
an
all-time
collegiate
record
by
amass
ing
more
than
100
yards
in31
consecutive
regular
season
games,
shattering
the
old
mark
of
17
set
by
Steve
Owens
of
Oklahoma.
During
his
four
seasons
as
a
starter
at
Ohio
State,
Griffin
had
season
rushing
totals
of
772,
1,428
1,620
and
1,357
for
a
career
sum
of
5,177.

The

for
the

a
team
award,
was
closely
contested
among
Indianapolis,

of
goals
during
the
regular
season.
(Indianapolis
247,
Winnipeg,
254,
and

263).
The

and
divided
between
the
goaltenders
who

played
at
least
25
games.
Dion,
who
played
in
31
games,
is
the
only
Indianapolis
goalie
to
qualify
and
therefore
the
prize
money
was
awarded
to
him.
Dion
played
1,860
minutes
and
had
a
league-leading
goals
against
average
of
2.74.
Voting
