How the "home club" got more than Niagara Falls -- or rather, why so much more -- is one of thbse things we couldn't explain, even if we had the time. They, the CAHA delegates, came in from left field with stern criticism of the way "Hap" Emms talked and carried on in the recent Memorial Cup finals. They also blasted coach Bobby Kromm of Trail Smoke Eaters. But Bobby has his own answer in print also -- he points out that the CAHA sent too many "'badgers" to the world tournament, who went fof the ride and didn't do anything except to add to the ex- pénses. Some of them also praised Emms -- so it will end up as a saw-off. The way we see it -- Mr. Potter, the CAHA president, hasn't exactly been a glowing example of either tact or leadership and now that he's still in office for another year -- they all are -- we'll predict that president Potter will be in even deeper hot water, before the next CAHA sea- son is concluded.
