ism wok pep icon fr TUHf ft Jet wok Try today iav Co body Eoooomy At So we locate the Olympic ho ckey crown The beat at our own fame Ditto tha Yanks Why all the tuts and furore The world didnt end and the Rocky didnt We were beaten fair and square by a better team so left take our defeat gracefully a the did from all account Anyhow there been too much emphasis on as opposed to participation in the past few ia indeed hard medicine to swallow to be trained at your own game So what do do to bring bring back the honors Do we send Alton Cup chimps again or Ag gregation Tftat seems to be the debate Youll be hearing a lot of palaver on the In fact it will probably be kicked around until the ball season breaks It seems obvious now that sending the Allan Cup winners the were beaten twice isnt going to be good enough Well have to a better team next time to the Idea But first who Is going to select the allstar and second who is going to coach said allstar crew That should start a few arguments among the hotatave leaguers An allstar team to be above the Allan Cup cnainpkinshlp par would have to work togeth er for a couple of months and play a number of exhibition games That of course is go ing to coat money real big money The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association in a position to finance the teams junket So two other possibilities come to mind First the federal gov ernment could underwrite the cost They wouldnt get any fi nancial returns unless you can put a value on good will and the honor of winning a world title The second way might be to in vite the Russian team to make a playing tour of Canada Right now they would fill every rink in the country Proceeds from the tour could be channelled in- to a special Olympic or world I Whitby will make their final appearance of the season at Newmarket tonight prior to any future playoff ap As things stand the will be meeting Midland in the first round with Whitby due to clash with Lindsay The game will see each club polish ing up their attack for the finals and since there is no love lost between the teams and Whitby is the club that has given the Newmarket team the closest struggle over the season you may well be seeing a prelude of things to come With the regular season draw ing to a close you havent much excuse for not coming to the arena except that you dont care how the team makes out Inci dentally the Lindsay club has sent two players to other clubs who should have made them the contenders they were originally thought to he Goalie left the club in midseason to join Peterborough in Smokies when the playoff rounds roll around Midland it now stands will be the initial opponent in the and since he left the Petes havent lost a game Tee moved up to the Lindsay inter mediates arid hes leading teat club in its drive to the playoffs Despite the many handicaps the club has had you have to give them credit for their try and maintaining their obligations to other clubs Alcorn and his Belairs will be making a stand against Harvesters at Aaron on Friday night and for the first time in the playoffs he hopes to have a full squad The club which made such a fine showing in the regular schedule has been riddled with injuries and theyll need all the help they can get to take the northerners who axe vastly improved gave Bolton a close battle at Bolton last week and the two clubs meet again in Bolton this evening The entire district is pulling for the Belairs and Bolton to come through to the final round Aurora Midgets are awaiting the winner of Picton vs Bowman- viile for first round and they wont be

hockeyminded chap has suggested Canada forget all about Olympic and world cham pionship hockey He remarks that they dont play our rules over there anyhow Granted this may be true however the European countries are picking up hockey fast and whatever rules they are using theyre get ting good at it to beat our teams Actually if you dont mind los ing summing up its a very good thing for hockey What the teams and officials over there cant understand is why we dont send our best We guess one reason is that hockey above the juvenile level is big business today So the teams cant afford to let their stars Join an allstar team for six wee It might cast them a playoff berth and a lot of money Thats an objection that will have to be overcome if were to proceed with on allstar team So much for the long range stuff Lets settle back closer to home Playoffs are In full swing along the minor hockey front The Gorman Smoke Rings play their final schedule game tonight Its Whitby Hill- crests on hand

trophy for the league Wholl do the honors Speaking about the minor ho ckey Newmarket and Aurora squirts put on quite a fine game at the arena Monday The sur prising thing was the number of fans who turned up to see the game They raised quite a din We hope well see these teams In action again Andy CI was the happiest chap hi the arena his son Murray scored Auroras only goal Talking about happy lads you should have seen Lake Wilcox bantams Stan Williams and Krnie Collins celebrate when the Lakers von their first game last week They raised the Au rora arena roof The win came at the expense of Cubs It couldnt have come a better time The Lakers were to stay alive in the North York bantam play- downs Wo are awaiting advice from Messrs Alcorn and as to whether the lo cal juveniles and midgets intend to continue in the North York play downs We hope their an swer will be the affirmative It would be a shame to see the hockey season over for these lad so early It will be good news to all the district sportsmen to learn that one of the popular summer sportsmen going to get his chance to guard the twine for the Leafs It couldnt have to a finer gentleman winners either Newmarket or Aurora decided on Tuesday of this week will meet in the next round If Aurora wins there will be a game in Aurora tonight along with an exhibition midget game with the Automo meeting tough opposition to sharpen them for coming events Aurora Bears defeated on Friday night at Auro ra their first win over the On tario County boys who ended the regular schedule in first place Cliff scintillated with a fourgoal effort and Bud Sutton Murray Chapman and Child all turned in great efforts On Saturday the Bears threw bombshell into the group play- huskies off the Hill team might well have won at least two of the games they lost to the Hill which aside from any other games would put the teams tied points On the other hand the Hill carried three players all year thereby keeping others off the team and even if la good faith at this late date they could only sign extra players until Feb and they wouldnt be familiar with the team The last time there was a pro test from the district if we recall rightly was in 1948 when Aurora had Victoria Square elevated to junior B status Meanwhile and are slat ed to start their series in tonight with the garnet alter nating between and on Thursdays and

over the regular sea son played four games against the Hill from December to January 20 winning one and los ing three to the Rams These three boys played against the Bears in all the games and no question of their eligibility was raised even after the last game The Rams played their last group name January 26 and have been awaiting playoff opposition The Bears were the running still for a playoff spot until January when they lost the crucial one to Unionville Before they filed their protest they still had two games to play with Orangeville The Aurora executive members they have just become aware of the correct residences of the players since the sent very club a list of play ers Under the rules after Feb 10 no club can protest on eligibility of any players who have played in the group The lists didnt go out from the A office until last week and Jack Robinson says it was then they started to check the bona fides of the Hill roster The facts will he unfolded before the this week as time is of the essence The Rams are a first year club and knowing such fellows as Jim Mae Clement and Mae we cant think they would play ineligible players knowingly We have had nothing to do with the protest except from receiving regular notice and since we live in Aurora we cant be asked to adjudicate on the matter as an member From rumors we hear Paul Shepherd works in Richmond Hill and is said to have estab lished residence with his brother who lives within the Hill terri tory and Stephens both assured the Hill club before they signed that they lived at We cant tell you what the
