MONTREAL, Feb. 10—In van 01 011m by the New York clubs for berths in the National Hockey League playoffs, Dave Schriner of Americans and Cecil Dillon of Rangers tonight lead pointmakers in the Canadian and United States sections of the league.

Figures issued from President Frank Caldei-‘s office showed Schrllier, left wing star, scored four goals and one assist as Am- erlcans took a. three-point grip on third 918W in the Canadian sec- tion. Ho leads the league with 14 goals. 16 assists, 30 points,

Granites Held

Greatest Of Olympians

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN. Germany, Feb. 10. - An indication of the progress English hockey has made since 1028 is expected to be revealed here tomorrow when the Canadian defenders of the Olympic championship tangle with England in one of the second group matches.

The Canadian squad is believed stronger than the Winnipcgs who had a hard struggle retaining the honors at Lake Placid, N.Y., during the 1'32 ivintel- games. It is not thong t, however, to bc of the high calibre of the Toronto Varsity Grads of '28 or the Toronto Gran- ifes of 1924.

TheGraliites, with such stars as Hoolcy smith, now of the National League Montreal Maroons. Jack Cameron, Harry Watson and Dunc Munro on the roster, hung up an all-time Olympic record of 110 goals in five games. Switzerland went down 33-0, Czechoslovakia 30-0, Sweden 22-0, Great Britain 19-2,‘ and the United States 6-1. At that, the Canadians did not unduly exert themselves except against the Am- ericans, who also had a fine team.

Grads also hung up their victories by lop-sided margins. They did not have an American team to contend with, not that i‘. would have been likely to make any difference as to the ultimate outcome. Grads bea‘. England 14-0, Sweden 11-0 and Switzerland 11-0.

Winnlpegcra were a fine defen- sive club but their scores were low, Germany was defeated 4-1 and 5-0 and Po.and 0-0 and 10-0. Then came the series with the Americans which saw the Canadians coma closer to losing an Olympic game than ever before. The first game Winnipegers won 1n overtime 2-1, but the second ended in a 2-2 tie with the Amerks in front at one stage.

In the three victories the present title defenders have registered, 24 pucks have been shot into enemy nets against three rung up by the foe. 'Poland fell 8-1, Latvia 11-0 and Austria 5-2.

In Olympic

GARWSOH-PARTENKIR-CHEN. Germany, Feb. 10. - Finland broke through Germany's near-sweep o1 championships today and Mont- gomery Wilson of Canada placed second 1n the preliminary school figures division of the figure-skat- ing as the fourth Winter Olympics progressed through its fifth day of international competition. , 1n the day's only completed event, four doughty Finn aki-nmners fought of! the rugged challenge of Norwegians and Swedes to capture the iii-kilometre relay race by the slightmargln of six seconds. Can- ada did not compete in this event.

Karl Schaefer of Austria took the lead in defence of his figure skating title by compiling 250.9 points 1n the compulsory figures. The Can- adian entrant, a Toronto veteran who has won the Dominion title many times, finished next with 237.9 points. Henry Sharp of Eng- land was third and Ernst Baler, Germany, fourth. The competition continues until Friday, when the free skating willbe completed.

Germany Point-leader

The sensational result of the ski relay failed to disturb Germany's place at the top of the unofficial team slanding. By picking up a sixth place 1n the relay, the Teu- tonic hosts remained far in front with 9'1 points on the strength of their smashing triumphs in the slalom and downhill ski-dashes for both sexes. Norway came next with 3'1 _po_ints and France third with 11.

Completing the day's light pro- gram was the draw, for the second series of the hockey playdowns. It pitted Canada against the strong English side tomorrow and the United States against Czechosl- vakia, ratedto give any man's team a battle.

But these twin Bavarian villages were mainly agog over the morrowb Canadian-English engagement.

In addition“ the English team probably will be strengthened by the inclusion of two other English- born players who were brought up in Canada and learned puck per- fection there. They are A. Stinch- combo of Windsor, ‘Ont.. and J. Chappell, formerly of Whitby, Ont.

However, on the strength of the class they showed against their three opponents 1n the first series of the playdowns, the Canadian championship defenders were fav- ored to turn back tho English chal- lenge.

Germany vs. Hungary

Two other strong squads, Ger- many and Hungary, were drawn 1n group A for the second series. Val Hoffinger, formerly connected with a Saskatoon pro squad, coaches the Teuton icemen.

With the United Slates and Czechoslovakia in Group B are the teams of Austria and Sweden. The latter team has Vic Lindquist, mem- ber of Canada's Winnipeg team to tho 1032 Olympics, for its coach. The Austrian team gave Canada. the best test in the first round be- fore bowing 5-2. .

The 40-kil0metre ski race today was a. thrilling spectacle from the breakneck start to the flying finish.

Swinging along a back-breaking course with unfaitering speed and precision, the Finnish quartet of Sulo Nurmela, Klacs Karppinen, Martin Iiahde and Kalle Jalkanen. nosed out Norway by a mere six seconds, with Sweden less than two minutes further back.

The United States, represented by Blrger Torrissen of Norfolk, Conn, Warren Chlvers of Dart- mouth, and Richard Parsons and Paul Ottar Satre of Salisbury, Conn, never was a factor and fin- ished 11th in the field of 18. '

The victory, good for 10 points, sent Finland into the unofficial team point standings for the first time.

Bill Miller will make his first ap- tearance in a Canadien uniform to- night as the Habitants take on Rangers in . a National Hockey league battle that is vital to both clubs in their race for a. playoff berth. Miller will get a chance to see more action with the French- men than he did with Marcons where he did bench duty for most of the season.

The former Moncton Hawk needs plenty‘ of work to bring him to his peak something he has not had this season with the exception of a cou- pie of games he played with New Haven in the Canadian American. Hc should do well either on defence or at centre for the Canucks after he gets a couple of games undeh his skates.

Suspensions Lifted

However, after several sharp statements had been tossed back and forth, E_ A. Gllroy, President of the C.A.H.A., suggested the I.H.F. 11ft the suspensions to allow the players to compete. This was clone and at today's final meeting the 1.1-1.1". made the action official.

G. L. Hunter, President of the British Association and -Avery Brundage, President of the United States Olympic Committee, jumped into the verbal warfare today.

Gilroy had declared that “under the circumstances Canada believes Foster and Archer should be per- mitted to play. They. are being pen- alized for a stake made by some- body in England."

Paul Loicq of Belgium. President of the Federation, then declared the matter closed. At this stage Brundage arose and asked if "in view of Canada's sporting action, is it true that England doesn't in- tend to use the players?"

Matter Closed visibly nettied, Hunter jumped to his feet and. declared "the mat- ter is not still open for discussion. Whether England chooses to use
