Problems Are Discussed

Plan Establishment Of $35,000 Trust Fund-Resume Grants To Branches-Alternate Scenes Of Play- downs — Protection Against Raids By Pro Clubs.

(B. A. E. Fulford) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) OTTAWA. April l5—Solvency of

the Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociation was assured for some years today when the annual con- vention voted to create a trust fund of $39000. to be depleted only for Olympic competition and m lean years.

Ln a busy day delegates moved to create ihe trust fund. ilranted Western Canada protection against raids by professional teams. decid- ed to alternate Allan and Memorial Cup games between East and West and dealt with a dozen other prob-

lems.

'l‘iiey decided to resume grants lo branches, halted in depression years. brought several classes or players unuei" an exemption to the residence (late, decided barring commercial teams from Alan and Memorial Cup games and granted the executive power to commemor- ate suitably the Associations silver Jubilee next year.

ABLE ADMINISTRATION

The trust fund was made lble by President Cecil Duncan's able direction of the C. A. H. A.'s a.- falrs for two years. The Ottawan will retire when new officers are elected tomorrow. His 010110-1110 successor is Dr. W. G. Hardy of Ed- monton.

When Duncan tcok office the As- sociation had only $4,000 in asets after four disastrous veers in which deficits totalled $418,934. This cut heavily into huge reserves the As- sociation had built up in previous prosperous years. But during two years of Duncan's administration the C. A. H. A. returned to its for- -mer affuence.

Its assets at March 1 totalled $29,772 and to this will be added $17,000 taken in preliminary play- of.‘ games and receipts from the Allan and Memorial Cup finals not yet received. When all the money is in the Association is expected to have $60000.

From this will be taken the $35,- 000 that is to fonm the trust fund. stringent. regulations will rotect it. If the Association finds t nec- essary u) borrow from the fund, which is to be administered by an investment trust company. it will have tobe done by a three-quart- ers vote of an annual meeting. Ex- penses of C. A. H. A. officials will be cut until the loan is repaid.

GRANTED PROTECTION

The West's plea for nrotecfion

against raids 11y professional teams found response in a resolution which set a deadline of Sept. 1 tins year and May 15 in .ut.uru years for transfers between East and West. The previous transfer dead- linte (E1 Oct. 15 was in force through- ou

The convention also decided to wipe out the residence deadline for classes of players already excluded 1mm provisions of Ade transfer rule which affects players moving .rom branch to branch.

‘rne excepted players include stu- dents. those whose parents move, miitiamen. members of the R. C ivi.P.. players not registered win the C.A.H.A. the year previous. and em- ployees with six months continuous service before tne date of transfer. in future they may transfer at any time but must not blay for more than one team in any season.

‘Ilwo years ago the C. A. H. A. abandoned the system of having Memorial and Allan Cub finals al- ternate between East and West. In view of the Association's conditions it was thought necessary _to give the president uowers to iuwebiin- als in the most lucrative territofy~

REVIVE OLD SYSTEM

Today, with a prosperous finan- cial condition, the Association de- cided to go back to the old system. The finals will be alternated from year to year and will be played 111 the district or the finalist club. That is. lf a Halifax teem won the Eastern title and it was the Easts year for the Allan Cub Homes lhey would be b-ayed in Halifax.

The motion to bar commercial teams from play for the senior and junior Canadian titles was spon- sored by A. E. Gilroy of 9011-880 1B rie, Man. president. It met quick defeat without debate.

A motion by Mr. Gilroy to per- mlt “packinfl of tennis if the play- ers were o-btained within a branch was ooDOsed by the resolutions committee and the whole question was referred back to that body.

It was decided that the executive should investigate with a view to starting a system of insuring play- ‘ rt of the senior and junior playdowns. It also was de- cided to continue the $500 grant to clubs in the national finals and to give each branch $300 this YEHT 101‘ the promotion of minor hockey.
