The interest of William R. Putnam, Flyers president, and his general manager, Bud Poile, is understandable. Cor- nell is loaded with some of the best amateur hockey play- ers outside Canada. Sixteen of the 17 first - stringers are Canadians. And with 120 new _ berths opened by expansion, bosses of the new clubs can't afford to overlook any possible tal- ent sources. Besides, it would be some- thing of a TV attraction if the newcomers in the United States could unveil an Amer- ican college player or two, even if he is from Canada. Tommy Williams, Boston Bruins forward, is the only U.S.-born player now in the league. He's from Duluth, Minn., by way of Fort Wil- liam, Ont. Red Hay of Chicago Black Hawks played for Colorado College and Red Berenson of New York Rangers with Uni- versity of Michigan but both are originally from Canada-- Hay was born in Saskatoon and Berenson in Regina. If American universities are to become useful sources of pro talent, however, NHL president Clarence Campbell and NHL executives believe they'll have to switch from world amateur rules to the pro style of play. ARMY COACH BALKS The NHL will shortly make a bid to have the colleges change the rules but there will be opposition, notably from Jack Riley of Army and John Kelley of Boston College, neither of whom uses Cana- dians, Kelley says he'll quit hockey if the colleges abandon world amateur rules, which allow bodychecking by the de- fensive team in its own end of the ice only. Bill Jennings, president of the Rangers, and Weston Adams, Bruins president, will go to Syracuse, N.Y., later in March to ask the college rules committee to make the switch. In return, pro hockey will offer a no-raiding pledge, promising not to sign any college players until they gra- duate. But the implied threat doesn't bother Riley, who guided the U.S. National team to victory in the 1960 Olym- | pics. "We won't have to play against so many Canadians," he says. If the NHL does manage to make a deal with the colleges, | a fair number of Canadians | will probably reach pro ranks | through this route, Campbell | Palm Sunday, says there now are 400 Can- adians on U.S. college clubs compared with fewer than two dozen. a decade ago. COACHED BY CANADIANS A New York Times survey shows that in the Eastern College Athletic Conference, only seven of the 32 teams lack Canadian players. Some have hired Canadian. coaches There were 95 Canadian players in the conference in 1964-65, 118 in 1965-66 and 135 this season. One-quarter of all the players are Canadi At Denver, where Murray Armstrong from Regina is coach, 17 Canadians are on the team. Not all: Canadians come to U.S. colleges to play hockey, however. Cornell, at Ithaca, N.Y., thad seven Canadian male undergrads in 1957, three of them on the hockey team. This year there are 67 Canadian male undergrads but only 17 play for the team, coached by Ned Harkness of Ottawa. Pro hockey's universal am- ateur draft, due to go into operation this year, may re- sult in an increased flow to the U.S. Hockey-playing Can- adian high school graduates, many of them 18 and not eli- gible for the pro draft until they're 20, may well decide to go to U.S. universities pro- vided they can meet the aca- demic requirements.
