WE HAVE NOT READ too many comments that have back- @d President Clarence Campbell in his recent episode with Roy “Red’ Storey Perhaps we have been looking at the wrong sport Pages. If that has been the case, we will be glad to have some-

' one let us have a glimpse at the ‘right’ ones.

However, the Evening Patriot sport columnist, has rushed to the side of the big boss of the National Hockey League. He tells ts ‘we have nothing but the greatest of respect for Mr. Camp- bell.” We certainly had the greatest of respect for the NHL top man wntil he handled the Storey case the way he did.

OUR FRIEND comes through with the understatement of the year when he says “he (Campbell) could have handled the Storey situation with more diplomacy.”

But then he pats Campbell on the back again, saying ‘‘when he appointed Storey to handle the seventh Boston-Toronto game he was casting his vote of confidence for the referee.”

That’s about as hard to swallow as anything we ever heard.

CAN YOU IMAGINE Storey getting a vote of confidence from Mr. Campbell after the press had been told that big Red froze on a play in Chicago. The author of that statement ad been the NHL prexy, the employer cf Mr. Storey. ~ Here was the rather ridiculous situation. The world has been told that Clarence Campbell the mighty man of National, Lea- gue Hockey, dif not agree -with Storey's calling of certain plays in Chicago. The fans in that Windy City didn’t agree either and put on a demonstration that was an utter disgrace. Naturally, Storey would expect Chicago and all followers of the Black Hawks

to be on his back. But you can bet your last dollar he never ex- :

pected Clarence Campbell to be one of his chief critics.

BUT CAMPBELL publicly expressed his ‘personal’ opinion on ‘the matter. He would have made a different call had he handled the referee’s whistle. Chicago and all its friends must have gloat- ed. Even if the Canadiens had ousted them, they were satisfied hhow that they had been ‘robbed’. So Storey simmered all through Sunday and Monday and into Tuesday. ah big fellow miist fiave been really sick at heart. The very he had expected to stand by Him was busy making the Chicago supporters forget their loss to the Canadiens. Storey was indeed alone with his thoughts and his weekend must have been one of the most unpleasant of his entire life. os 8 it was the time’ of decision. Would ‘Red’ go into aoa handle that crucial game between Boston and Toronto? If he did, wouldn’t the losers and their ardent supporters cry Tob- ber’ once again. Could he tackle this all-important tussle knowing * that his boss had said-he (Campbell) hadn't agreed with his call _ om Saturday last? me ee finally reached a decision.

OUR FRIEND “Campbell was’ a bound spectator et game. :

f Let us repeat. Mr. Campbell, much as he ‘may try, cannot disassociate himself from his office as National Hockey League i when he speaks on NHL matters. He can have per-

gonal opinions but those should be kept to himself : aocey 4s gone and Campbell still remains. But the — Hockey League family is not a happy one.

The Monarchs laced New Waterford 18-4 and that showing is certainly enough to prove to everyone

that they are ‘tough nuts’ for Abbies to conquer.

THE MANAGEMENT of the Abbies oan’t say enough good things about Saint Dunstan’s who have kept their rink open just to have this game played.: Officials at the university had intended to close shop earlier this week but when the Abbies put this Satur- day game to them as a proposition they readily agreed to ac-

LOCAL MIDGET PLAYERS are at present selling tickets throughout the city for this big game Saturday night. The price is 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. Your generous re-

This means you can see every bit of the action and be back home in plenty of time to get the start of the Canadiens-Leafs struggle which is scheduled for 9.30 local time. The Abbies’ management has thought of everything, so you certainly can’t say the Stanley Cup playoff kept you from seeing our local midgets try to bring a Maritime crown to Charlottetown.
