But all this was washed out when Ramblers, showing little or no scoring power, fell in rather easy fashion to the underdog Olympics.

Keee. Although our ISHL Amberst eres by some other NSSHL clubs, our season must have far more successful than theirs. If Amherst was ma hattered by the Montreal Olympics, imagine io any of the other NSSHL teams wou!d have fared in Montreal.

Perhaps the quick disposal of the Ramblers will eon oe = order to the NSSHL. Perhaps they'll be able to come up with cheaper product and at the same time keep the fans ae than they did ‘ast year. Despite the fact that Amherst had by far the best team in John Mullane’s group, he residents of the Nove Scotia border town stayed away in large numbers from the Amherst own es.

What Comes Next?

» WE COULD see a continuance of this kind of hockey if the elubs operating were making a dollar or at least breaking even. But to insist on carrying on in this same manner next year is

something we just can’t conigiod: What's the use if the ream of the league is to be sidelined in the first ae of the Allan Cup competition?

They had a lot of fun in Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island during the winter months. The winners of these two leagues, it is true, were not a match for the Ramblers but it made little difference. Once Ramblers hit the Allan Cup trail they were quickly shunted to the sidelines. We are sure the fin-

is of all clubs in the ISHL and the Cape Breton League \s much better than the status of clubs in the NSSHL.

We don’t just know what these clubs, operating with heavy payrolls, are trying to prove. If they want to win an Allan Cup, the they'll pay dearly for such a privilege. All teams in com- petition in this league will have to have similar ambitions, other- wise the league will head for the rocks.

But the way things went this past season doesn’t add up to make any sense. Amherst was head and shoulders over the rest their league. Their semi-finals with Halifax and their finals with Moncton were one-sided affairs. Halifax won one game out of five; Moncton lost four straight to the Ramblers. Yet eats Ramblers went out in four games to the Quebee cham

Is there any sense to it at all?

Sound Thinking Needed

A little or probably a whole lot of sound thinking must be fone before next season's operations begin. I the NSSHL

But then perhaps they'll get back to a cosy league where Players are not playing for such attractive returns, Perhaps the folks will back this kind of hockey even better than they have
