our Irvin Silent ' ' 0n Whether lie Will Return To Canadians

By GEORGE FORM‘!!!

RIDINA. April i3 - (OP) — When Montreal Canadiens ‘drop- ped out of this year's playoff pic- ture and coach Dick Irvin return- ed to Regina and went info bus- iness, immediate rumors sPPl-iill WP whether or not he would return to the hockey wars next winter.

But Irvin wouldn't talk.

The veteran coach of 19 Nation- al Hockey league seasons and three Stanley Cups would, ag the drop of a hat, discuss tihe possib- ilities of his wholesale sporting goods business and the new hoc- key stick——wlth a round reinforced blade —- he had devvloped and which he figures answers just about every hockey-stick problem there is

He would also say that he thoughg Montreal's Elmer Lach was the greatest Centre in the world and tell how Lach won the scoring title this year with one eye practically closed after a skir- mish.

But about Dick Irvin's plans next year he said only "l dunno."

Dave (Regina Leader - Post.) Dryburgh sunsmcd it up this way:

“Dick Irvin is hcme with his pigeons and isn't giving any clues as to his future with Montreal Canadians unless it be that his en- thusiasm for his new wholesale sports goods business can be taken as a tip that he's had enough of the N.H.L."

There seemed to be sufficient eviience that Montreal was alter Irvin- to return and general man- ager Frank Seike said that Irvin could sign another contract when owner Senator Donat Raymond returned to Montreal,

Then again towards the latter part of the season some of the older members of the game took a decided interest in youngsters of

season, kept it uncorroded in the 1947-43 campaign by topping the National Hockey league stand- in-gs and now appear ready to re- ncvw a lease on It, '

Wednesday night at Olimpia. home of Detroit Red Wings, the Leafs will face off for the fourth game of the final cup series with a tidy 3-0 margin. Only one more triumph is needed to return the cup to 'I‘0r0nto trusteeship.

For the Red Wings the outlook is definitely unpromislng. ARM‘ 5-3, 4-2, and 2-0 defeats in their first three engagements. the De- broilers must rise to levels they never before scaled to roll back the brilliant Leafs.

Ironically, if the Wings were to embark upon the miracle of four atmight victories, and the cup. they would duplicate a red-hot Toronto manoeuvre.

Britain Reveals Plans For Olympic Games

By BILL MACKLIN

IQNDON, Apr- i3—(A.P)—6hort order meals, hometown newspap- ers and a. cinder practice track will be offered in the largest of Britain's “villages” for athletes competing in the Olympic Games July 20 to Aug. 14.

The R. A. F., host at the village, took on the wraps today and show- ed the accommodations being spruced up for the arrival of the first Olympic athletes July B.

"We will consider the athletes as guests of the R. A. F. and eu- deavor to give them a good time." said Group Capt. O. K. Kriftin, commander of the site.

It really isn't a. village at all, but Britain's main R. A. F- depot.‘ It is located at Uxbriuge, west of Lon- don and about 10 miles from Wembley Stadium, headquarters of the Olympic games.

All the blue-clad Air Force men except a’ few maintenance person- nel will be gone. The reveille bugle will be silenced. Fifteen hundred athletes will be housed, four to a room, in 10 large brick barracks.

pected froirfbii countries will re- side in army camps and schools elsewhere. In all of them, the Brit-- lsh organizing committee will charge 25 shillings ($5) a day for each person to cover board, room and transportation to all the sport- ing grounds. .

At Uxbridge, the R. A. l‘. baa an ideal place for the track and field athletes and boxers. There is a stadium with a Mil-yard cinder track which ls one of the best in Britain. The gymnasium has three boxing rings for practice.

Bedrooms are freshly painted in cream and blue. A reading lamp hangs over each bed. focusing the light so as not. to awaken a room- mate who may.be runnlnga sprint final the next morning. There are lockers for clothes and individual writing tables.

Food will be served cafeteria style. The main dining room will be partitioned of! so that the Am-

erican miler who likes smorgasbord

can't peek over at the next table and be envious of his Swedish riv- aL

Breakfast will be served from 7 to 9 a-nn, lunch from noon to 1.80 pm. and dinner from 8 o'clock on. Box lunches will be available in the dining room for those who want to take them out. There will even be special meals to order for boxers who want three-day diets to make weight limits.

The British staff will operate the kitchen, but each team has been invited to send its own cook to flavor the soul). Irv the rice, a la Chinese or ' garlic the meat balls the Italian way. __

For relaxation, Uxbridge has a movie, recreation rooms with radio and television, a snack bar and s library. Athletes looking for local color will find a real English pub —the Eight Bells-just a Javelin throw down the road. '

(By The Associated Press)

WINDSOR. N. C” April 13- Coach Jimmy Bonds of Windsor high school has the answer to a baseball coach's dream- He's dis- covered a pitcher who throws with either hand. l-Ie switches for right and left hand batters. '

Kenneth Thompson, 16-year-old high school sophomore, tried the stunt originally as a Joke in a ball game in which Windsor had a l2- run lead. He has been doing it ever since.

Coach Bonds says the five-foot. 10-inch, lbs-pound youth does equally well with either hand, but has more form left-handed. Thompson last year was a right- handed relief pitcher.

Slater said he didn't think the best interests of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association would be served.

“Let's forget about tho word ‘amateur and carry on,” he said- "There's nothing new about pay- ing hockey plsyers. I was oflered money to play years ago, andss a player I wasn't exactly a whim- bang.

"They are trying to force us into professional hockey. The move would mean the end of the C.A. l-LA. and the Allad Cup."
