start a minor lacrosse team line for amendments Fri day night on motion of Dudley and yours truly two im portant amendments were ap proved for submission to the meeting and ultimately the meeting one being a match penalty for any player who participates in fisticuffs dur ing a game the other being to make it illegal to ice the puck while playing One thing the average person seems to forget is that in all changes in the rules under the ProAmateur agreement any rule changes must be approved by the joint rules committee of the C AHA and The fisticuff rule could be adopted by the O but the suggested icing the puck change eventually must be approved by the joint committee to be effective In an attempt to give Canada the best representation possible in world hockey the is urging that the Allan Cup win ners be the Canadian nominees to overseas every year and that the- ne cessary financial provisions to see that this is possible for the club concerned and still hot kill the arena

from further representation in what Is known as the worlds hockey series Russia made such a withdrawal quite inconceivable by the simple process of defeating the Canadian team in one of the great sports upsets of all time For this was Russias first entry into these cham pionships the quality of the Soviets was held in light esteem and so the defeat was ail the more stunning all the more calculated to provide Moscows propaganda machine with rich material for sounding the glory of the Soviet athletes Under these circumstances suffering from one of the most humiliating defeats inflicted upon its forces in the game at which these Dominions in reality rule the world Canada cannot possibly retire until a day of reckoning has extinguish ed the fires of arrogant bluster which this triumph Is certain to set alight in the Soviet press For retirement at this point would be rated as sheer de featism and indeed it would be very difficult practically Im passible convince other European nations that Canadas supremacy in its greatest sport had not been taken over by And what is much more important from the stand point of national pride it might be even more difficult to convince the world that Canada had huffily taken the child ish unsportsmanlike attitude If we cant win we wont play It has been said that in view of the publics unfavourable attitude towards the club Canada should quit this synthetic world series synthetic that Is in its title qualities though definitely real in the number of competing nations Thats not In Canadas Weve never beets quitters nor la any competitive And if Canada quits now in defeat are that wilt upon da nationally What champion doesnt get an unfavourable reception when he invades foreign soil Did those advocating Canada withdrawal ever hear the Detroit Red Wings cheered in Toronto or Howe applauded when he Invades the domain of his rival Rocket Richard The jeers in such cases and in Canadas overseashockey case too are real tributes to greatness Anyone can get cheers at home Jack was one of the most unpopu lar figures In while he was champion Thousands rooted regularly for his defeat went out fighting and so turned mob
