Simpson himself scoring the winning goal. On the way back from the winter Olympilad, the Canad.an team performed against an allâ€"starâ€" aggregation at ~Montrealâ€"and Simpson jumped into pro ranks with the Marscons.

Hooker, pres.dent of the local senior club told The Advance that the matter of proposing that the N.O.H.A. bréak away from the O.H.A. not been discussed very much yet, but that it probably will be in the near future. In regard to this year‘s team he said: "We can‘t tell what we have yet until we see them on the ice." ‘ Nashville Tennessean:â€"Wonder if anybody has warned Santa Claus about those quintuplets? And when it comes to a question Oof the N.O.H.A.‘s affillation with the O.H. A., some local officials are dubious about its worth. "Why shouldn‘t we cut loose from the O.H.A.?" asks Fred Quesnel, manager. "We haven‘t a hope of beatâ€" ing out Toronto for the Ontario chamâ€" pionship. Why should Toronto have a tie on us? Let us run our own show and let them run theirs in Toronto. We would still be affiliated with the C.A.H.A. of course, but we‘d be responâ€" sible to them alone. Then if we came to the point where we could get into the playdowns, it might not be with Southern Ontario teams first. There are some other leagues in the country." The local senior team has not been chosen yet and won‘t be for quite a long time if the weather doesn‘t settle down. The new players are still myâ€" steries, even to their coach and manâ€" ager. None of the officials have even seen them on ice, so it‘s really a little premature to begin knocking a team that isn‘t. All the lads whose names were mentioned in Thursday‘s Advance may or may not be on the line up this year. So far they are just possible maâ€" terial. H.A. yet these boys are going right ahead with Timmins‘ hockey plans. Apparently they don‘t need travelling tickets ‘way up there." Naturally the CA.H.A. are not issuing any transfers when they haven‘t even been asked to yeLt. Thj; aren‘"t just sure about this transfer item. Nobody here knows whether the CAKH.A. branchâ€"toâ€" branch transfers will be granted or not. In fact they haven‘t even een applied for. But LOu says "the players from Quebec,, Kenora and Eastern Ontario should have branchâ€"toâ€"branch transfers which are not being issued by the C.A. Some local hockey enthusiasts think there is a little something wrong with the way Lou Marsh of the Toronto Daily Star has the dope figured on the local senior squad. Is the 0.H.A.
