Richard 'went into the semi- final series with Detroit with 52 rpolnls on 34 goals and 18 assists in 46 games. His point-a-game clip -five goals and two assists in seven starts-brought his total to 59 in 53 games.

The grcat right winger and his fellow Canadians. down 1-0 to Toronto Maple Leafs in their best- of-seven cup final. held a light skating drill today. Then they rested for Saturday night's sec- ond game and the opportunity to

avenge the 3-2 overtime defeat they suffered Wednesday night. Defencelman Doug Harvey. an ace performer with the Canadians, missed the workout and coach Dick Irvin said he may not be able to play Saturday because of an aggravated knee injury. While the Canadiens stayed in Toronto, the Leafs are in se- clusion at St. Calharines, Ont. Meanwhile, officials of five Na- tional Hockey League clubs met president Clarence Campbell and the four-man refereeing staff to- day to discuss rule-change pro-

posals.

Officials indicated there would be no announcement from the closed meeting.

Toronto wasnlf. represented. Coach Joe Primeau was at St. Catharines and assistant man-

ager Clarence (Hap) Day was at Pittsburgh for an American Hoc- key League final. Managcr Conn Smythe was unable to attend.

Consider Changes In National League Play

TORONTO. April 12 -(CP) - Increased protection for goalies and more penalties for hooking and charging will probably be the chief changes in National Hoc- key Lcziguc play next season.

In addition, there is n possibil- ity that the centre-ice red line may be eliminated. allowing for- ward passing anywhere up to the opposing defensive blue line.

These were the main points discussed today at an informal meeting of N.H.L. representatives. Seven officials representing five all the six teams had a 4 -2- Iiour discussion of possible changes and improvement in rules.

The subjects discussed will come up for official attention at a meeting of the N. H. L. rules committee next month. Then an official draft of recommendations passed will he sent to the gen- eral league meeting late in May.

"This has been one of the most

useful sessions as regards rules discussions that I've ever been ' in." said President Clarence ('zimpbell, who presided. With

him as another league representa- tive was referee-in-chief Carl Vnss. Four referees-George Gra- sel, Bill Chadwick. Hugh McLean and Red Storey-also attended.

Campbell said the meeting had no power to adopt. any changes. It could only discuss them.

The excessive number of tie games was discussed but the-rc were unofficizil indications that

no more would be made lo bring lvack overtime periods to regular- soason games.

Others participating in the mcr-linr: wcrc: Frank Selke of Montreal Canadiens, Ebhie Good- (cllow of Chicago Black Hawks. Jfrnnk Boucher of New York Tlangers. lack Adams of Detroit Red Wings and Art Ross. Lvnn Patrick and Baldy Cotton of Bos- 1on Bruins. Toronto Maple Leafs were not represented.

NEW G-LASGOW. N. S., April 12

-Reaching prom:-tions unparall- ed in the history of Maritime hock- ey, the battle between M. A. H. A.. Islanders and Sydney Million- aires hockey officials over where the seventh game of the Mari- time majcr hockey finals is to be re-played. raged on here all during today with a. final decision being reached about 7:30 this evening. M. A. H. A. president Bryce Love, delivering an ultimatum to conch Leo Lamoureux here yesterday that he had until noon today to decide whether his team would re- play the game at Sydney on Friday night, changed his decision in a talk with Lumaureux here this morning, and then reverted to his original decision again before early afternoon. By evening. Love came through with the announcement that the game would be played to- morrow night at Glace Bay. . . .

Following yesterday's M. A. H. A. decision in voting in favor of replaylng the match at Sydney

Friday and that if Islanders didn't comply. the series would be award- ed to Mllllionaires. the Islanders hockey mentor. Somerled Tralnor. the team's legal advisor, vice-pre- sldent W. E. Massey of Islanders. Big Four president, Judge J. Elliott Hudson and M. A. H. A. president Bryce Love held a near all-night conference behind closed doors at the Norfolk Hotel. New Glasgow. As a result of that session, Mr. Love informed both Walter Lawlor, M. A. H. A. vice-president at Char- lottetown. and coach Lamoureux about ten o'clock this morning that ”the game would be re-played in Glace Bay. In conversation with Lamoureux president Love stated, "I've decided llmt the game will be played in Glace Bay. I will prob- ably receive a protest from Syd- ney-but that is it."

In the afternoon, Love again contacted Islanders club officials. holding discussion at length with Islanders legal advisor. Mr. Train- or. who carried on the bulk of the Islanders negotiations for them. President Love said that his latest decision was that the game would he played at Sydney. The reason given wa.s that Sydney refused to play at Glace Bay on the grounds that an earlier vote by the M. A. H. A. was 4-2 favor of the game being played at Sydney.

3 I I

This re-opened hostilities all ov- er again, after persistent pressure by the Island club and the fact that one M. A. H. A. official had insisted that his vote be revised in favor of the game being played ov- er neutral ice. The official. Mr. B.

Yerxa fourth vice-president. in- sistcd on the change on the grounds that he hadn't. been

given a true picture of the situat- ion at the time of the story and was in favour of the game being played on neutral ice. This made the voting even at 3-3 and threw the final decision in the lap of Dresidcnt Love. Taking the bull by the horns early last evening, Mr. Love delivered a final ultimatum in favor of the game being played at Glace Bay tomorrow (Friday) night. 0 0 0

Charlie Stev- ens. sports editor of the New Glas- gow Evening News. came out with a review of the situation in his per- son column here today. that ex- pressed the feelings of the general public all over the Mai-itlmes (ex- cept Sydney). that is worthy of re- peating in part here.

Winnipeg Hoop Team

Wins Junior

SAINT JOHN. N. 8. April 12 - (OP)-Winnipeg stellars retained their Dominion junior basketball crown tonight by overpowering saint John Jack's Atlantlcs 80-52 and making a clean 3-0 sweep of the best-in-five final series.

Stellars. mightiest team in the history of junior basketball in Cnnndn. cupped ti two-season. consf-to-coust trek with n magni- ficent gesture of sportsmanship probably unparalleled in Cana- dian basketball annals.

A flood of injuries and foul! that began in the second minute of the game wrecked Saint John's bid for the title and as time ran out in the game Atlantics' man- power dwindled to a point where they finished the game with only two eligible players. But they suffered no disadvantage in man- power.

Half-wuy through the fourth quarter. when Ailantics lined up with four men after an injury to Jim MacDonald had cut their roster to four eligible players, Mitch Brlryluk, brilliant Winnipeg guard. walked off the floor. leav- ing his teom with a 60-39 lead and a four-man squad.

From that point until the clock showed only two minutes to play. two more Saint John players fouled out and as each was for-

into the background, playing a sec- ond fiddle to the Charlottetown- Sydney runaround. In the News of- flee, from early morning until late at night, the staff was slowly be- ing driven to near distraction. at- tempting to keep pace with a steady flow of telephone calls requesting information on the outcome. 0 O O I

"In restaurants and along the street, groups were huddled toge- ther. exchanging vlews on the lat- est developments. and probably the choicest hockey morsel to crop up in many a moon. Public sentiment seemed to be with the Islanders. General opinion adopted by the more talkative was to the effect that the Islanders had made a wise move in quickly dusting Sydney soil from their highly polished hrogues. 'Stay on this side of the strait.' they agreed. It is doubtful if a New Glasgow-Stellarton beef. along the same lines. could work up more in interest. At any rate. hockey has suffered one of the fanciest colored black eyes in a number of years. If faced with the ultimatum of returning to Sydney or forfeiting the series, Islanders, through no fault of their own, are being more or less jobbed.

"The game was declared no con- test due to the actions of the fans. Why they should receive a second opportunity of venting their wrath on a group of hockey players is not quite clear. certainly it does not make sense. Serious injury was avoided by sheer luck the first time. Perhaps a different outcome will result from another try."

0 O O O

The members of the team them- selves are in top-notch form and in excellent condition and eager for their match against Millionaires at Glace Bay tomorrow night. They had a stiff one and a half hours workout at the New Glasgow Sta- dium this afternoon. with centre- man Frank Bathgate. who has been out since the third game of the series with a back injury. Frank was flown over today. and is look- ing in great form and was really burning up the ice like he has been doing all this season.

0 O O

The sudden passing of team cap- tain Wes "Bucko" Trainer's father. however. cast a shroud of gloom over the entire Islanders club. Be- fore he left on return to Charlotte- town by plane today. the team members. Coach Lamoureux and accompanying club executive, ex- tended Bucko their sincerest symp- athies. Despite his bereavement. it

is understood that Bucko will re- -

turn to Glace Bay in time for the game there tomorrow night.

gns As M.A.H.A. President

Meeting Otfiiixecgutive Called; Glace Bay , 1

NEW GLASGOW. N. 8., April 13 -(Special) - Bryce Love. presi- dent of the Maritime Amateur Hockey Association resigned here today. A meeting of the M. A. H. A. executive was called for 4 o'- clock. this afternoon It New Glas- gow to consider his resignation and the tangled sydney-Charlotte- town playoff series. No reason for Love's resignation was given im- medlately.

Earlier have had ordered the disputed seventh game of the ser- iea to be played at Glace Bay to- night. However. hours after his ultimatum had been issued the Sydney club said they had receiv- ed no official notification of such an order.

Mr. Walter LNWIOY of Charlotte- town is the first vice-president of the M. A. H. A. and is expected to becoming acting president.

Love's resignation climaxed two days of argument following a "no contest" decision on the seventh game played at Sydney Wednes- day night.

So far as could be determined the Glace Bay game tonight was off. It was unlikely there would be any decision on location or time of the game until after the M.A.l-I. A. executive meeting this after- H0011.

Bookie Would Be Happy To Join- Army

TULSA. Okla.. April 12-(AP) -- Star baseball rookie Mickey Mantle of New York Yankees said yesterday he wouldn't mind going to the army "if my leg is okay."

The 19-year-old spring-training sensation took his pre-induction physical at the examining centre here. Officers said the results will be sent to Mantle's Miami. 0kla.. draft board for any announce- merit.

Mantle is classified 4-!” because of a leg bone ailment which. he says. pains him only when wrap- ped tightly or sometimes during a double-header.
