During a scrimmage session, with Dame replacing the veteran

Dame fitted in well with his old team-mote, Benoit. and his scor- ing punch did much to give the Reds a 5-5 draw with the whites, The line accounted for three goals, with Dame doing the shooting on all of them,

Meanwhile, Deniers, who appeal-q headed for a better season than last year with resulting greater strength for the L-ach-AdamsJDe-

Herman Cruhn, another likely rookie, accounted for the fourth Rcd goal, but it was Blake, who has found it difficult to get the puck into the net, who scored the one that tied up the game with 30 seconds to go and caused defence- man Tony Graboski to break his stick over the net in disgust. It was Blake's first goal of the train- ing season.

Irvin announced that Leo La- moureux, who played in Hamilton last season, and Erwin McGlbbon of Antigonish, NS, had been signed to pro contracts and would report t0 Washington Ulines at. Lake Placid, N.Y., Saturday with Tudin and Stu Smith.

New York, left by plane today for the East after Calder conferred here with mmbers of the Manitoba Division- al War Services Board concerning passports for hockey players. (Manitoba. and Saskatchewan Boards have refused to grant pass- port authority to hockey Players seeking to gay in United States on grounds hey are good material for the Canadian armed forces.)

The Winnipeg Free Press says efforts by N.H.L, representatives to obtain revision of the Manitoba board's refilsal to grant passport authority to hockey players have failed,

No Reason

For Change In Ruling Of "- BoardReHockeyPassports

Thursday that the board will not meet the United States hockey moguls and that there had been no change in its attitude.

“At the conference Wednesday afternoon Mr. Calder was told that Canada was at war, that the hoc- key Players were able-bodied men and that the board felt that, if they were allowed to go to play in the United States, it would cause criti- cism of Canada's war effort in that country.

“It was suggested to Mr. Calder that the hockey players should join the active Canadian army and then they might perhaps obtain leave from the army to play hockey in the United States. So far as could be learned . . . none of the Mani- toba hockey players involved have yet decided lo try this solution."

The Free Press said Winnipeg re- serve army units have allowed men to transfer to reserve army units in other parts of Canada, if their means of livelihood takes them else- where.

“Two former members of the sec- ond (reserve) bsttailon of the Royn‘ Winnipeg Rifles, Bert. Janke and Glen Harmon. have both been granted transfers to the Duke of York's Hllssars. a reserve mechan- ized unit of Montreal. where they are being tried out for the Montreal Canadiens.
