12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, Merch 11, 1965 CRITICS SPOUT Canada Misses Bid For World's Tourney By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Sports Editor Canada lost to Vienna Wed- nesday in its bid to stage the 1967 world hockey champion- ships and reaction of the sport's amateur officials in Canada ranged from disappointment to surprise, One blamed the man- oeuvrings of John Francis (Bunny) Ahearne, the gay dic- tator of European hockey, and another called it international polities. The move was made at the International Ice Hockey Fed- eration congress in Tampere, Finland, after Canada's dele- gates said they planned only to make it a five-country tourna- ment, eliminating the lesser B- pool teams and cutting the championship pool to five from eight teams. That was the crux of the is-' sue and only one official--Ivan Temple of Victoria, B.C.--put this down squarely as the rea- son for the IIHF's decision. "This is the thing that de- feated them," said Temple, who represented the CAHA at the Stockholm championships in 1963. Temple said Canada should have taken the risk of a finan- cial loss to get the tournament. "They didn't take a financial loss over there, so why should they here?"' he asked. He, and a few others, re- jected any suggestion that Can- ada pull out of future cham- pionships. VOTE 33 TO 20 The IIHF, headed by ,the 63- year - old Irish - born Ahearne who has been ruling the feder- ation for years, voted 33 to 20 in favor of Austria in a straight English F. A. Cup Running LONDON (CP)--For the first time in years, it looks like the English Football Association Cup competition is going ac- cording to form. Manchester United, Leeds United and Liverpool joined Chelsea Wednesday night in the cup semi-finals, "Versatile Manchester, second favorite, showed its true cup- fighting qualities when it over- came a two-goal deficit to de- feat Wolverhampton Wanderers 5-3 in quarter-final play. Strong-ruuning Leeds showed too much class for third - divis- ion side Crystal Palace in gain- ing a 3-0 victory in a rough- and - tumble match in south- east London. Liverpool beat Leicester 1-0. Chelsea went into the last four Saturday with a 5-1 vic- tory over Peterborough United. Leicester and Liverpool drew and the other two games were postponed because of the weather. In semi - final play, Leeds meets Menchester at Hillsbor- ough Sheffield, and Liverpool Frank Nighbor's| Condition Same PEMBROKE, Ont. (CP) -- Hospital officials here reported! no change Wednesday in the) condition of Frank Nighbor, 72, a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Nighbor, the famed 'Pem- broke Peach" who played most of his 18-year career with Ot- tawa Senators of the 1920 per- iod, was admitted to hospital Saturday. Nighbor was reported ser- fously ill, but details of the ill- ness have not been given. Hos- pital spokesmen said tests were being carried out. Eddie Kasko To Captain Astros By MURRAY CHASS Associated Press Sports Writer, = Houston Astros have ap- pointed their first captain while San Francisco Giants are cele- brating the return of their first baseman. Manager Luman Harris said Wednesday veteran infielder Eddie Kasko will be Houston's first field captain since its en- try into the National League in To Form meets Chelsea at Aston Villa, Birmingham. UNITED SHOCKED Lowly Wolverhampton, which seemed doomed for relegation in the league, shocked Man- chester United with two goals by Hugh MclIlmoyle in the first 15 minutes of a thriller before 50,000 spectators. United lost forward Denis Law with a head injury after half an hour, but just before the interval.

"We are the only major. ice hockey country which has never staged the tournament," said Gordon Juckes of Melville, Sask., secretary - manager of the CAHA who presented Can- ada's case at Tampere along with Lionel Fleury, CAHA pres- ident from Quebec City. "Now we will have to assess our position as far as world hockey is concerned," said Juckes. Jimmy Dunn of Winnipeg, a former CAHA president who has been to Europe with Cana- dian teams, placed blame for Canada's failure on Ahearne. He has "European hockey in the palm of his hand," said Dunn, and "what he says, goes." If Ahearne was out, many European countries would be more reasonable about the world tournament, but Canada must continue to send teams to Europe in an effort to regain the title it lost last to Russia in 1963, NOT SURPRISED Jack Roxburgh of Simcoe, Ont., past president of the CAHA and Liberal member of Parliament for Norfolk, said he is extremely disappointed but not surprised at the IIHF ac- tion. He said he is sure inter- national politics played a large part in the decision. NATO countries, he said, were partly to blame because they would not issue travel per- mits to East German hockey teams. (The 1962 world tournament at Colorado Springs was nearly wrecked when Russia and Czechoslovakia refused 'to com- pete when the allied travel bur- eau in West Berlin refused travel permits to the East Ger- mans.) A crowd of 45,000 packed! Art Potter of Edmonton, the| outspoken immediate past pres- ident of the CAHA who battled with Ahearne during the 1964 winter Olympics at Innsbruck, said "we should take another look" at whether Canada should undérgo a period of cool- ling down, investigation, thought | and negotiation. SHOULD DECIDE "If we can't improve our re- \lationships with the IIHF and! guarantee an equal deal for Canada, we should make a de- cision at the CAHA annual meeting that will shake inter- national hockey to its roots." (The CAHA annual session will be held May 23-27 at Vic- toria, B.C.) Frank Sargent of. Port Arthur, another former CAHA president, said the IIHF vote was "completely wrong' and added that Canada should con- sider withdrawing from future world championships which would make them "meaning- less." He said he would bring the matter up at the CAHA meeting. tred Page of Fort William, first vice - president of the CAHA, said he thought Canada had "'a very good case" and added: "We just have to acept the decision and keep on plug- ging." Bob Lebel of Chambly, Que., former president of the North| American section of the IIHF, was surprised and 'extremely disappointed" at the voting and/ declared that "Canada de-| serves a better deal." "It was certainly our turn to get them," he said. AHEARNE 'DIDN'T HELP' Lloyd Pollock of Windsor, Ont., second vice - president of the CAHA, said 'possibly we should consider now whether or not it is worth" going to future championships, "Ahearne. didn't help our} cause last week when he said at Tampere, before 2 vote was even taken on the matter, that Canada didn't have a chance of getting the 1967 tournament be-;| cause we planned only to limit| it to the big teams such) as Russia, Czechoslovakia,| Sweden, Canada and the U.S."| Says Hal Laycoe To Coach Bruins VANCOUVER (CP) -- Van- couver Sun columnist Jim Kearney says that Hal Laycoe, now coach of Portland Buck- aroo of the Western Hockey League, will be the next coach of Boston Bruins of the Na- tional Hockey League. Kearney in a column Wed- nesday says that "you may be certain" the decision has been made to replace Milt Schmidt as coach of the last - place Bruins and Laycoe has ac- cepted, He says 'the official announce- ment should come some time between the end of the Western League playoffs and the NHL annual meeting in June. 4 EXPORT or FILTER TIP CIGARETTES ENTER SEMI-FINALS LONDON (AP) -- Manches- ter United, Leeds and Liverpool joined Chelsea Wednesday in the semi-finals of the English Soccer Cup competition.
