Forble Kennedy was sitting on top of the world last night when we nabbed him out at Memorial Field where he was getting his good right arm in shape for the coming baseball season. He had heard the good word in the after- noon from Sam Pollock who honed direct from Montreal to l,et the young hockey player in on the secret before it leaked out in the newspapers.

We didn't mention what news in the first paragraph because anyone who wants to find out need only look to the headline It the top of the page.

Furbie was practically reared by the Canadiens in their farm system. but ii chance at a spot in the big time is a cit.-inc-c at a spot in the l)i,'.' tiinv and it doesn't come in it young plagrr too oft:-u.i in fact only to the very select few.

The piirchose price of SI-0.000 is I real eye opener. It dm-snlt figure that Jim Norris. even though he carries around more money in change than most 1 people make in I year. would . loose that kind of cabbage to - strengthen the Hawks farin- hands nt Buffalo and Sam Pol- j lock nsstircd Forhie of as much in the aftcriioon conrcixsation Yltl the telephone wire.

Said Fm-hie last night: ”I'mi happy. couldn't be happier. Hav-l lng plarxeri so much lit-ckey for thc ('ein.iviiviis I would naturally. like to pigiy with them but what 1 until nimt is a try at one of the clubs in the Naiiiinal League and if it llilppvilS to be Chicago that's all right with me.

"Air, Pollurk told me." For- bic szini, "that I was helm: sold to tiliicugo and that I would be playing with Chicago next year and not Buffalo. Of course I will still have to play well enough to make the Hawks. Thutis taken for granted."

Forbie's chances of catching it berth on the Canadiens this feili weren't too good and be fully re- alized lt. It isn't that Forbie hasn't the ability it is just that the Canadiens are overloaded with good ceiitremen. Displacing players like Jean Beliveau. Henri Richard or Jackie Leclair wouldn't be the easiest task in the world. LeClalr didn't have too good l season with the Habs last year but his performance in the Stanley Cup playoffs left lit- tle doubt that he is I solid big ieaguer.

Bo Forbie is heading for I team that is in the process of rebuilding and from all appear- ances they mean business. in the last few days the Hawks have shelled out 890.000 to pick III four players: FOTIIII and Eddie Kachur from the cans- lienl and Eric Neoterenko and Barry Lnniley fromi Toronto. Earlier they acquired the ser- vices of Ken Mosdeil and Bud MacPhcrson from the Habs. With General Manager Tommy Ivan and Coach Dick Irvin en- gineering the deals the Hawks are looking to the future In

IN THIS CORNER Forbie's A Happy Lad Now

' Emms' Barrie Flyers, He made

i rookie to latch onto. One thing 3 is sure and that the Hawks will I have in lot more Island fan! : rooting for them than they Ila"-I ' had in the past, now that they 1 own an Island boy.

i Forbie started his huckcy car-l eer in Charlottetown at the ten-'. lder age of let) years and if there is anyone around who thinks that the Charlottetown minor leagues are of little use in the production of good hockey players. Forbie Kennedy is a good argument that they are wrong. Forbte Came UP through the steps: paperwt-itihl. .pce wee. bantam. midget and ijuvenile. While still a midget be lperformed with the Charlottetown Juvenile Abbies and in a playoff game for the N.B.-P. E .l chain- piouship Forbic rapped home 11 goals and picked up fire assists.

At the age of seventeen For- ble tried for a spot on Happy

it but I ruling that was then in vogue stated that a player of juvenile age couldn't per- form with a junior team. and that left Forbie out in the cold. He played exhibition games with Barrie though (that was til year they won the Memoriai Cup). The last half of that season he played with Halifax St. Marys in the South Shore league and although he had only played half the season he was beaten out by Rocky Sul- livan for the scoring title by only one point.

For the next three yczirs Forbie was with .Vloiiti'cal Junior Cana- diens. He caught the eye of talent scouts early and Dick Irvin was trying for the best part of last season to pry him loose from the Canadiens. He finally did.

No doubt it was I-'orhic's fine play in the Memorial Cup play- offs against Toronto that finally convinced the Hawks that he was worth I big price. He prac- tically carried his teammates. on his broad back through most of the series and his great two- way play drew raves in Mont- real and Toronto papers.

For his teammates loved Phil for bis big heart. "Phil was the strongest player we ever saw." we remarked to one of his ex- teammates the other night. "He had the biggest heart," came the reply. "He hated to loss but his heart was as big off the field as it was on it."

"scouts" was a better than av- erage hockey player. He played both defense and forward with Saint Dunstan's Intercollegiate teams during the years he spent at S. D. U.

He also starred in softball and hockey. Three years ago just before leaving for the Air Force he led the Liguorian Youth Club to the City Softball League cham- pionship as be murdered opposing pitchers with his lengthy base wallops.

But above all these things Phil was a devout Christian. A Cath-i olic be practiced his religionl faithfully and one of the greatest comforts which his sorrowing family have is the fact that he had just completed I Church Mission before his death.

October in Vernon. B. C.

By W. R. WBEATLIY

Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP)-The Cana- dian Amateur Hockey Association Thursday decided that Canada's firm It the 1957 world hockey tournament in Moscow will be In Ill-star amateur team se- lected from across Canada.

The team will begin training next and money to support its entry will be sought through subscriptions from Canadian business firms. A film company tlarlstonl. which has al- Nady sought picture rights for the series, has become I potential angel.

The decision was something of I compromise on the plea of the Ver- non Csnadlans. Allan Cup champ- ions. that they be designat ' as the official Canadian entry or form a nucleus of it. . The adopted proposal. submitted by Ken More of Regina. stipulateg that every member of the Varno Canadians be invited to the train- ing site snd given an opportunity of making the team.

BEST POSSIBLE TEAM

The motion followed broadly I suggestion by CAHA secretary- manager George Dudley of Mid- land, Ont.

Dudley said that particularly In view of the defeat of the Kitchener- Waterloo Dutchmen It the Olympic and world tournament last winter at the hands of Russia. the Cana- dian public must be sold on the idea of the best possible team going to Moscow.

A committee will be established which will choose the best coaches available. There was some sugges- tion lhat Hap Day. general mana- ger of Toronto Maple Leafs of tho National Hockey League. be named as head coach. with assist ants from eastern and western Canada.

Coaches of all teams under CAHA jurisdiction. including sen- iors. intermediates and juniors, will be asked to name their top players as possible candidates. PLAN EXHIBITION TOUR

The full squad of about 30 will assemble in October at Vernon. After it period of training there and after a tenative weeding-out process. the team will start an ex- hibition tour. It will carry it across Canada and dip into the United States. playing both smateui and professional teams in exhibition games.
