By ROSS TRUEMAN Canadion Press Staff Writer Montreal, Jan. --(CP) -- John Kieran's assertion that the Montreal Canadiens no longer Fisher fought | play hockey with "a french ac- | cent" has led members of this 'city's sports fraternity to believe that the man who was for many | years sports columnist with the New York Times hag left himself a little off base. In an article in the January edition of the magazine 48 Kier- an bemoans -.e presence of such names as Bill Durnan, Kenny Reardon and Toe Blake on the Habs' roster as not in the tradi- tion to which he has been accus- tomed. On a note of nostagia he re- calls the days when there was a Stanley Cup line-up that includ- ed "Silvio Mantha, Armand Mon- dou, Pit Lepine, Al-Bear (Battle- ship, Leduc, Wildor Larochelle, Aurel Joliet and Jowie' Morenz." well, anyone around Montreal Forum could tell you that Kier- an overlooked the fact that at least eight French-Canadians are playing for Habs. Dink (Montreal Gazette) Carroll was one of the first to take issue with Kieran. "Apart from catching the scho- larly John in spelling Sylvio Mantha's name incorrectly," he said, "it could be pointed out that Howie Morenz was not { Frepeh ,., o " hd Actually, Morenz was of Swiss extraction and came from Strat- ford, On the other hand, says Car- roll, Toe Blake is French on his mother's side--her maiden name was Philion. Toe's father grew up around Buckingham, Que. and spoke French as much or' more than he spoke English. Toe him- | self is bilingual, | ~~ emyery now. and again someone l calls this department and asks if it isn't true that Toe is French --that his right name is Blais? "kor their benefit," adds Dink, | "let it be known that his right name is Blake. The report that his name was Blais got around when Ernie Savard, who then ! controlled - the team, asked the then president of the N.H.L., | Frank Calder, if he couldn't | change it to Blais in the hope is that §t would give the box office a shot in the arm." e-------------- Britons Busiest By JAMES R. CHAMBERS London, Jan. 6--(AP) -- Britain uch in the sports | year just started, but at least it will | probably be the busiest any fan can | remember, | "Leading the way in the invasion of athletes will be the Olympic | Games, scheduled for July 30-Aug. 14, and the four month-tour of the Australian cricket team, always a stellar summer attraction. For the first time in the history of cricket test matches between England and its chief cricket enemy, Australia, the games between the two countries here will last. more han five days. On previous visits of Australian criiket teams four days have been allocated to each in- ternational match. Women will dominate the golf and tennis fixtures of 1948. In May the golfing women of Bri- tain 'will meet the best women play- ers of the United States for the Cur- tis Cup, and two weeks before the all-England lawn tennis champion- ships begin, Britain's women tennis slayers will try to regain the Wight- man Cup from the U. 8, As there is no Walker Cup match on this year's sports schedule here, it's possible Britain may regain the amateur golf title, currently held by Willie Turnesa, a member of the United States Walker Cup team which defeated Britain in the tro- phy match at St. Andrews last May. While the summer sports get in- to shape for what should be a really great year, the biggest money-spin- ner of them all, soccer football, will be with the fans until the first week in May. Promotion and relegation fights, the Football Association Cup tour- nament and the England vs. Scot- land international match will sus- jain the interest, as if it were need- Soccer. will go out with a flourish with the F. A. Cup final at Wem- bley. Yet it will be back again in the height of summer for one of the most attractive programs on the Olympics schedule in the soccer tournament.

The last sentence of the min- utes of the recent meeting of western conference tennis coach- es reads: "It was moved by Brain, seconded by Braun, that the meeting be adjourned, The motion passed." United States financial support may be sought for the proposed American tour of the two Aus. tralian rules football teams.

It is proposed that the teams, other from Western and South Australia, should visit America at the end of this year. The Austra- lian game requires 18 men on each team, but Mr, Page sald that the number would be reduced to 16 men a side owing to the smal: ler American fields, Rangers Currently The 'Hot Potatoe' In National League By BERT ALLEN Montreal, Jan. 6 (CP).--Don't those "little"--every- one's been calling them that--New York Rangers, they have the fourth heaviest club in the Na- tional Hockey Leagte.

Always noted for their big clubs, Boston boast the huskiest team in the N.H.L. The average weight is 180 pounds.
