Lacking more senior experience than any of the remaining members of the club, Charlie Marshall is none the less still young in years. Only 22, he toured Europe with Ottawa Shamrocks two years ago and last season played senior mercantile hockey in the Maritimes. He starred with Ontario Refinery in the Nickel Belt, but since joining the allâ€"star Nickel Belters has improved with every game and has been one of the leading sharpshooters on the club. '“Blink" Bellinger, Hal Cooper and |"Bingo" Kampman are the only others on the team over 21 years of age. They are 22. The remaining members of the club are paying big /dividends this year on the strong junior teams developed in Sudbury in the past, and if the Falâ€" cons cop the Allan Cup honours a great deal of credit can be given the Memorâ€" lal Cup finalist squad of last year. Four Falcons are graduates of the 1934â€"35 jJunior ranks, Dave Kemp, Don Grosso, Wib Hiller and Art Stuart, and Hiller, especially, has been outstanding with his ability to grab the breaks for goals. Tony Grabowski is the youngést memâ€" ber of the team, being a recruit from this year‘s Sudbury juniors, to comâ€" plete probably the youngest Allan Cup finalist squad ever to go into the hisâ€" torical series." ; / "The other player, oldest in point of years and hockey warfare, is Lex Cook, who hails from the wideâ€"open spaces of Saskatchewan. As an underâ€"age player, he performed with Weyburn, provincial champions, and while still of junior age made the jump to senior ranks. He performed several years with Weyburn, one of the crack Western Canada teams. He is 25 years old but has been performing like a nimble youth on the Falcon rearguard. Steve Conick admits to 24 years but has been hitting the headlines for the past four or five seasons, first with Hamilton Tigers, OH.A. champions, and later with Frood Mine.

The team won nine of 12 events. Yet nothing else should have hapâ€" pened. The United States in those days had the best training methods, the best tracks and the best competition. Great Britain was the only nation that could approximate the United States in quantity of athletic competition and ‘he British quality was distinctly inâ€" ferior to the American. | The 1900 American team won 17 ofi 22 events and the 1904 team set an amazing mark, winning 21 of 22 events.

In any case, Olympic basketball is going to be peculiar for the spectator who has watched the game played on this side of the Atlantic. For in France, a foul occurs when two opposing playâ€" ers touch each other, even if the touchâ€" ing is accidental,. ‘The difference in rules seems to have come about through the negligence of United States basketâ€" ball officials who neglected to warn other nations of the world or ask their advice when they were fixing "world basketball rules" a few years ago. Obâ€" viously, Europe was left out. The Americans doubtless thought they had the right to make international rules since the inventor of the game was an American. should do well when "West Toronto Nationals" meet the Saskatoon Wesâ€" leys for the Dominion junior championâ€" ship.

French Basketball Rules * According to the interpretation put on despatches from overseas by Ameriâ€" can and Canadian sport writers: "Most of the countriese who will participate n the Olympic basketball tournament this summer desired American rules." French rules will govern the play. "This was decided," says Edwin Allan in the Mail and Empire, "despite obâ€" jections from most nations." A most peculiar state of affairs.
