It has been many a day since such a list of uncertainties has bees lined up for one afternoon of g n amusement, an word "uncertainties" is right, when one considers the in-and-out record of all the teams during the season. The only winner we feel safe in icking out of the whole lot is the Varsity team, which should at the very least be able to hold the Gold- en Gaels of Queen's down to less than the 10-point victory the Gaels need to qualify to meet Western. As for the others--pick 'em your- self. Your guess is as good as ours. ate, TB ott e Que or Cou tainly called the shots in throw- ing out an injunction featuring the quarrel between the Cita- delles and the Frontenacs of Quebec for possession of goalie Jacques Marcotte, presently playing for Frontenacs, and claimed by Citadelles as their Mproperty. He laughed at the idea of players being called amateur when they were being paid salar- fes of $60 to $75 a week for chas- ing the puck. And he did not os ey words when he asked if the days of slavery had returned as he reviewed the evidence re- arding junior hocky contracts. fhe wo of the Chief Justice showed that he had little sym- pathy for the behind-the-scenes chicanery of the hockey world. Quite a paradoxical situation has grisen in the first-class football leagues over in the old land -- we mean soccer football. In Scotland, Queen of the South, one of the former doormats for the rest of the league, hailing from the little town of Dumfries in the south and with not a single high transfer fee man on the playing list. is riding at the top of Scotland's First Division by a wide Marge while the teams wth gilt-edge line-ups, Hibernians and Rangers, and away down to- ually re ond-raters are in the the wealth clubs, both in ¢ [lzyess. Arsenal, Chelsea, Sunder- and and Newcastle are well di a team with real team spirit can be better than an aggregation of It looks as if the winning streak of the Truckers has caught the attention of the fans, afd there has been a nice sale of tickets for the game. Spe ame is every inducement to local hockey enthusiasts to make the trip to Bowmanville to see Oshawa's only representative team of the present season in action. The Truckmen have two games to play next week, on successive nights. On Friday ht they go to Peterborough in a scheduled Senior B game, and on the following night they are back on their 'home' ice at Bowmanville to meet the King- ston Goodyears. Apparently the troubles which arose between Kingston Good years and their coach, John Carr- Harris, have been straightened out, and it is announced by the club president that Carr-Harris will continue as coach of the team. It is emphasized that he is to have full control of the play- ers, with no executive interfer- ence, and that is exactly what he wanted, So -Carr-Harris will still be handling the team when it hops over the boards at the Bow- manville Arena next Saturday night. And just a last word to the folks who like a good game of basket- ball. Tonight at 8 p.m., at the OCC] gymnasium, the Simcoe Hall Grads will play their first game in their new circuit, the Toronto Metropoli- tan League meeting the Ascot Cleaners' team, a starry outfit of ball-tossers. The Grads have shown a fine spirit of courage and ambi- tion in betting into this league, and they deserve the full support of all basketball fans. Win or lose, we feel sure the Grads will give a good account of themselves in any com- pany. SPORTS FROM BRITAIN New Zealand Team Has Husby Players By ARCH MacKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP)--Every 10 years or so British rugby is rudely shaken up by a band of New Zea- land huskies called the All Blacks. The All Blacks are back again, Playing 29 games in Britain and 0 in France before leaving for Canada at the end of February for a one-game stand at Vancou- ver. They also play an exhibition Jame in California before heading ome. The All Blacks started their British visit in typical fashion by crushing a southern counties team 24-0, although observers took some comfort from the fact that the tourists were held almost scoreless in the second half. HEFTY FORWARDS Indications are, however, that this fourth All Blacks team will have been honed into a formidable unit after a few games. They have 30 players from which to choose the 15-man team. Average weight of the forwards is 200 pounds. By tradition, New Zealand is re- garded as the hotbed of rugger, grand-daddy of Canadian football. oungsters start tackling and pass- ing at six years of age and fans have been known to hire steam- boats so they could cheer their team at away-games. When the All Blacks first in- vaded Britain in 1905, they were defeated only by Wales. They lost no games in 1924. In 1935, they were beaten by England, Wales and the Swansea, ales, club. Since Wales is just as rabid about rugby as New Zealand, the losses there were nothing to be ashamed of. Team captain Bob Stuart, 33- year -old agricultural economist who started playing rugger at 11 and now weighs 202 pounds, isn't particularly concerned about regis- tering an unbeaten record this tour. He figures that might prove a psychological handicap. UP TO STANDARD However, he appears confident that the All Blacks, who precede their games with a brief Maori war dance, will .come up to the standard Britain expects of New Zealand teams--big, fast forwards supported by equally-large backs who confront their opposition. with rugged and unorthodox use of the ball and players. Rugby, which takes its name from the famous old public school, stems from the split between foot- ball players who wanted to kick the ball and those who wanted to handle it. It finally evolved into a 15-man team, unpadded, which can dribble, punt, rop-kick, pass or carry an oval ball slightly Jarger than the Canadian variety. No in- terference or forward passing is allowed and play is continuous. The eight forwards generally used by a team line up in three rows to face three rows of opposing for. wards in what is called the scrum, and kicked out to the backs. Scor- ing is on the same general lines as in the Canadian game. Nations Do Not Fear Canada's Prosperity By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press-Business Editor QUEBEC (CP)--Canada holds in the world the unprecedented com- bination of being envied and yet "not dreadful to anyone," Dr. G. P. Gilmour, president of Mec- Master University, said today. Dr. Gilmour made his comment in opening as chairman a confer- ence on subject of 'Canada's Tomorrow." : The conference is sponsored by Canadian Westinghouse Co., Ltd., to mark its 50th year in business, and the gathering was arranged by a committee héaded by Br. Gilmour. It consists of more than 200 people, chosen as represent- ing a wide section of Canadian life--industry, business, finance, labor, education, culture. NO MALICIOUS ENVY Dr. Gilmour, in his theme of a Canada envied but not feared, added: "Other people look on us with friendly rather than msjlicious envy as a most-favored nation whose history, circumstances and temperament are still without hint of aggression or dangerous design. "They seem to be actually pleased that things are at last going well with us, and they ap- pear to hope that we will net spoil our future or worsen theirs by repeating the mistakes of older For the best in fuels--Call Armstrong's ARMSTR 59 CHURCH ST.

To Broadcast Football Final TORONTO (CP)--A network of nine Ontario radio stations and one from Montreal will broadcast the Winnipeg-Edmonton western inter- provincial football union final game at Edmonton tonight. The game starts at 10:30 A EST. : Station CHML, Hamilton will broadcast the play-by-play report starting at 10:30 and other sta- tions on the network will go on the air 30 minutes later.

The Montreal station is CFCF. WAIVED PLAYER IS LEAGUE'S BEST OTTAWA (CP) -- Bob Cunning- ham, hard-charging halfback star, was picked up on a waiver by Ot- tawa Rough Riders this year for $200. Priday he was voted the most valuable player in the Big Four. The 26-year-old veteran is the 1953 winner of the Jeff Russel trophy. The award was announced here by D, Wes Brown, league secre- tary, who also reported that Bobby Dawson, Hamilton's newly-acquired halfback from Windsor junior ranks has won the Gruen fropey as the most valuable rookie of the year. For Cunningham, who will retire next year, it was a peak in a seven-year career which saw him start with Toronto Balmy Beaches and graduate to Montreal Alou- ettes. With Als, he starred at half in 1949 and caught an important ass which hel, Montreal win he Grey Cup that year. GM Change Over Cuts Output DETROIT (AP)--Model change- over operations at Chevrolet, plus a thinning out of '53 model output at Buick, will drop U.S. motor ve- hicle output sharply this week. Ward's automotive reports said the week's output will come to 93,658 cars and 17,970 trucks against 116,789 cars and 12,480 trucks last week. In the compar- able 1952 week 107,473 cars and 30,430 trucks were built. The statistical agency estimates Canada's output this week at 3,101 cars and trucks. Last week Canadian plants built 3,588 cars and 926 trucks. In the compar- able 1952 week they produced 6,- 547 cars and 2,375 trucks. TRAIN DERAILED HARRISBURG, Pa.

Carl Voyles spr: the ck --the conceded safety touc! a Big Four Jane here. Since then at least 15 safety touches have been conceded from professional clubs in eastern and western Canada down to high school ranks. It started this way: Tiger - Cats had possession on their three-yard line, with minute flag up and Argonauts driv- ing hard. Lambeth "froze" the downs. SURPRISING MOVE On third down, to the amaze- ment of Argonauts and 20,000-odd fans, Lambeth took the snap and streaked to the deadline, automat- ically givin onauts two points and Tiger-Cats first down on their 25. In three plays the game was all on two over. Even Voyles admits it was wacky and figures the rule should be changed. Most other coaches and league officials, polled by The Canadian Press, agreed and the safety touch rule be discussed --and probably amended--by the rules committee of the Canadian Rugby Union early next year. oyles, who nursed the idea of springing this version of the safety touch for a couple of years, says the rule "has to be changed." He adds: "It should be like the United States system where there is a kickoff from the 20-yard'line after the safety is made. Because the Canadian field is longer the kickoff should be made from the 25 'The U.S. rule was changed ears ago after a game between rinceton and Dartmouth. In that one, one of the teams was leading 7-0 and then conceded three safety touches to retain possession and win the game 7-6." OTHER OPINIONS . Here's what other professional coaches and officials have to say about it: W. C. (Billy) Foulds of Toronto, long-time member of the CRU rules committee and in Canadian football for the last 45 years: "The safety touch has been in the books since I can remember. I'm certain it will be discussed by the committee at the next meting. However, I'm not prepared to say what will happen."

TRAFTON'S VIEW George Trafton, coach of Win- nipeg Blue Bombers: "I would not like to see the rule drop but I think it should be revised. The ball would be brought out to the 20 or 25-yard line and kicked on first down, either a punt with all players onside or kickoff style so that both teams have a chance to gain possession." Dave McCann, Ottawa, chairman of the CRU rules committee: U "There should definitely be some- thing done about it. I favor put the ball back on the 15 instead the 25 after a safety. This would make a team think twice before sonceding the two points." Opposition to any change comes from Bert Warwick of Winnipeg, a member of the CRU rules com- mittee, and general manager Lew Hayman of Montreal Alouettes. arwick says: "The safety touch is a good thing and I would not want to see it dropped. Cana- dians have been using the safety touch for years as a method of keeping the ball but now it is used more frequently and before larger crowds than before." Hayman says: 'I am against a change in the rule." UNUSUAL 1-STRIPER HALIFAX (CP)--Mr. Greco--or commissioned Airman Charles Greco, Royal Canadian Navy--left the aircraft carrier Magnificent re- cently to take up an appointment in the School of Naval Aircraft Maintenance at HMCS Shearwater in neighboring Dartmouth. Mr, Greco (the Mr. is the Proper naval term for his rank) probably is the only one-striper in any navy to hold down ithe job of flight deck officer, or 'traffic cop' for the carrier's planes and fliers. Mr. Greco was the boss of a team responsible for ranging the aircraft before takeoff and parking them after landing. He was also personally responsible for the sig- nal sending each plane off the flat- top. His voice has been made hoarse by shouting against roaring aircraft engides, Born at Winnipeg, Dec. 8, 1917, Mr. Greco, RCN Kept 'Em Flying Mr. Greco joined the navy in 1938.

L'ORIGNAL (CP)--George La- hale, convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years in rison, will marry the girl who wl him a son and testified for the crown at his trial. If neccessary permission is fratted, Lahale, 20, will ma; uise CapeHo, 19, in a jail-cell ceremony here within the next few days.

Solandt, chairman of the Cana- dian defence research board, de- nied today that the board is as- sociated with an Ottawa research program on flying saucers. In announcing at Ottawa Wed- nesday that a detection labora- tory is being built near the capital, W. B. Smith, engineer in charge of the broadcast and measurement section of the transport depart- ment, said the research board was co-operating in the project. Today Mr. Smith said that the project is a private one by him and his associates on government property, using available mater- ials and having the full authority of the transport department. SHOULD DETECT SAUCERS He said Wednesday that the lab- oratory was being built "in the hope of finding out something tan- gitie about flying saucers." If fly- saucers actually exist, the equipment in the laboratory should be able to detect them. Dr. Solandt said today the de- fence department is not planing immediately any research "even remotely connected" with flying sauc & research. "However, we are continuing to study new reports (of flying sau- cers) and are alert to the pos- ghilities of discoveries of that na- ure."
