Talking About Formation 0f Coaches’ llnion

By Arch Mackenzie Canadian Press Staff Writer

WINNIPEG. Oct. 28 —(CP)—The men who mould Canadian football tennis, obtain many of the players, and pace uip and down the side lilies are the oilappies who have least to say about the lbttle wed wit» book.

(‘nachos admittedly are experts iiion that they can only drill the nuts into their players.

Tony (Winnipeg Tribune) Allan Iookfli long at the situation re-

criilll‘. "Football coaches in. Eastern

Canada." said Tony. "are talking nbnui iflllifiing a union with the idea of getting together at least

Said Allan?

“Ycii can imagine nlhat would hnpgiril if the coaches were given a free hand to instigate rule changes. in no iimP at all, we would have uni I'l"ii interference, four downs nrtti i'i‘:li-lli'0s tailored t0 the Ame!‘- \i(‘ oi play. Any resemblance itlian rugby would be purely ntal.

"lhrrc will be bitter resistance to any further Americanization of the Canadian game. American coaches who talk about changing til-s rule and that. have no con- ccolicn of the terrific struggle which preceded the introduction of the forward puss."

It will be second Saints versus Prince of Wales at the Saint Dun- stan's gridiron this afternoon in a football encounter that gets un-

derway at 4 o'clock and fans should witness one of the football tidbit; of the season when the two old rivals clash in what could be termed a double-barrelled en- counter. In addition to the game being an Island intermediate lea- gue fixture it will also mark the first game of the Island inter- collegiate series and it is this lat- ter phase that is holding the at- tention of the student body of both seats of learning.

Holders for the past seven years of the title, Prince of Wales this year will be definitely the under- dogs as they go into a series against what is supposed to be a heavier, faster red and white clad band. Saints have already racked up a 3-0 victory over Prince of Wales in an exhibition encounter and today will be out to chalk up their first win in the all-important series. .

4- 0 1|- 0 Prince of Wales followers had very little to say on the outcome but the team themselves feel con- fident in their ability to give the Saints a merry tussle of it all the way. They have been underdogs before on the eve of other series and have come through, and who knows but that the same thing will happen this afternoon. -l- 4- + I!

Morale of Charlottetown curlers received a big boost at the annual meeting the other night when it was disclosed that artificial ice would be ready shortly before the first of the New Year. The bene- fits that the new plant will pro- vide are innumerable. For one thing it, will enable the curlers to have a much longer season and as a result the brand of curling is bound to improve. -

The latter is of prime import- ance. Rinks returning from Mac- clonaid Brier play have been stressing the necessity of a longer season for the past several years now and their objective is about to be realized. The members are to be congratulated on their in- itiative and willingness to bear the financial burden that is entailed and it shouldn't be too many years before the move will start to pay dividends in curling ability,

Bill Robertson, together with Gordon Quigley Prince of Wales athletic stars of other years, are capturing the headlines these days with their great performances as members of Dalhousie Tigers foot- ball squad.

Sports Officials Approve Tax Recommendation

HALIFAX, Oct. 28 - (GP)- Widespread approval by sports of- ficials today greeted a recommen- dation by the Civic Recreation Committee yesterday that legisla- tion be introduced at the next ses- sion of the Nova Scotia Legislature to tax all sports events in the city up to three per cent of gate re- ceipts to finance junior sport.

Most officials were quick to agree that minor teams in the past had been "pretty well neglected“ by senior leagues and teams that depend on the junior circuits for replacements. They went as far, 111 fact. to declare that such a tax, if properly administered, could make Halifax one of the leading sports cities in the Dominion.

Mayor J. E. (Gee) Ahern, form- er sports editor of a Halifax news- paper and star all-round athlete in his day, is in favor of the scheme and at the same time has advanced hisown plans for a huge 118W Civic stadium. He estimated that a tax of two per cent on athletic events would bring in about $3,500, this to he in addi- tion to a similar amount received from boxing and wrestling shows.

Harry Butler, president of the Halifax and District Baseball League, said he personally is in favor of a small tax "as a good booster in helping junior sport. which has been sadly neglected in this city."

Chris McAlden, secretary o; the Maritime Senior Hockey League, said the old big four had donated one per cent of gate receipts to the Maritime Amateur Athletic Association for junior und_juven- lie hockey but that the matter hadn't. yet come up before the new edition of the circuit, new only one year old. ' _

A city tax, however, could only be a club matter involving the Big Four's Halifax Crescents and could not affect other teams in the League which do not cut in on local games.

"It is the only way of finding enough funds to develop Junior athletes in this city," commented Dr. J.T. Landry. Physical Educa- tion Director for the Board of School Commissioners. "It ll dif- ficult to get enough funds to look after the high cost of equipment. 1t is difficult even for private firms which» usually allot some of the advertising money when they promote these teams."

Rickey To Talk

With Burocher

BROOKLYN, Oct. 28 —- (AP)- Presldeilt Branch Rickey of Brook-

lyn Dodgers said tonight he ex- pects to talk baseball with his former mailager, Leo Durocher,

“within tile next couple of days."

The ailrlounc-enlent followed an hour's mgting at the Brooklyn club offices attended by Rickey, Durociler and four men, the latter unidentified, coilcerning a "mat- ter pers Ilal to Leo and having nothing a do with baseball.” Duroclltr, suspended last spring for the 1947 season by Commis- sioncr A. B. Chandler, has Ibeen in the city for the last tlvo days. He said he was here to contract for supplies for a sporting goods store he is opening in Beverly Hills. Rickey steadfastly has refused to indicate whether he intends t0 give Leo his old job back or tn leave the Dodgers reins in the hands of.eicleriy Burt Shotton, who pushed the club to 'a pennant and a. losing World Series against the Yankees after taking over 1n the opening days oi the season.

Chamherlainllopes To Get Back This. Season

MONTREAL. Oct. 2B — (OP)_ hlurph Chamberlain, the rollick- ing, battling Irishman, came back home today vowing that a little tiling like a broken leg isn't go- ing to keep him out oi hockey.

"I'll be hnck there; I heal eas- iiy," said the 32-year-old veteran of Canadians’ forvrard line. "You don't think I'm going to let that Reaction guy steni my thunder, do you?"

Cilamberlalns leg was broken Sunday night in Detroit, where Canadians defeated Red Wings

4-2. Ivfurpli said lic was trying to avoid Bill Qunckcnbush, Detroit defcnccmnn, when his skate caught in the ice. There wus a snap and Murph kiic-w the leg was broken.

Dr, A.A. Mnckay, cllib physician, is awaiting X-ray plates from Detroit before giving his final de- cision on Chamberlain, but he wouldn't rule out the possibility that the wiry redhead, starting his 11th season in the National Hockey League, may be back in action this season.
