The local squad. will leave from. the bus terminal at three o'clock ‘ this afternoon, a d there will be a limited number of seats avail- able on the special bus for City fins who are interested in tak- ing 1n the game.

p. Canadian Intercollegiate Union Playoffs Possible, 5' Halifax Meeting Indicates

By Reuben Cipin

HALIFAX. June 14 - (CP) - The first Canadian Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Union playoffs are a strong possibility within the next two or three years with the C. l. A. A. U. expected to be in operation by the fall of 1950.

The National Conference of Canadian Universities here Mon- day approved in principle I re- port recommending formation of a Dominion-wide union and only approval of the governing bodies of the 30 member universities is needed.

Dr. G. E. Hall. president of the University of Western Ontario and chairman cl a five-man com- mittee bringing in the report, said the union was "almost certain" of becoming a reality with Dominion playoffs possible in two or three years. Universities recognized ath- letics as an integral part of uni- versity life and the value of uni- form playing and eligibility rules under the union.

Formation of the proposed un- ion would begin at the fsll meet- ing of the conferencess executive if approved. The germ of, the idea of an athletic union linking universities from Vancouver in Antigonish. N. S.. was contained in a request more than a year ago from university athletic di- rectors. The N. C. C. U. followed by setting up the committee to study the possibility.

The report. a guide or frame- work for future operations, did not contain any definition of an amateur. Dr. Hall admitted it was a "thorny problem" which would be faced by the board of governors once the union began to operate.

This body. composed of sca- demic staff including physical education professors and directors. would be responsible to the N. C. C. U. and would decide general policy. eligibility rules and the possibility of financing Dominion playoffs through a pool.

Besides stressing opposition to athletic scholarships and loans to athletes, the report- laid flown these three fundamental principles: Any "professional or player who has signed a contract permitting his being traded or sold" would be ineligible: the welfare of the individual must be protected at all times and the integrity of the university as an institution of higher learning would be jealous- ly guarded.

Dr. Hall emphasized that the committee opposed all attempts at "commercialization and ex- ploitation“ of student athletes: The unionmnight seem "idealistic but it was a "logical step" now that Canadian universities were competent to deal with eligibility rules for their players on a no- tional scale in keeping with. but apart from, any other athletic bodies.

Under the proposed setup there would be at least three regional boards of reference-Eastern. Cen- tral and Western-with s consid- erable amount of “autonomy and flexibility" to arrange schedules and affairs within their areas. l-low there are separate Maritime. Central and Western Unions. Bo- sides the board of Bovernors there would be a technical‘ advis- nry committee of athletic directors from universities with "senior in- tercollegiate standing."

Other members 0f the T900" committee were Dr. J. R. Petrie. University of New Brunswick H011 president of the Maritime lntor- collegiate Athletic Union. Prof. D. Van Vliet. director oi athlei-WS at the University of Alberta. Dr. .7 B. Kirkpatrick. McGill Univer- sity and a membpr of the Central Intercollegiate Ath' t c Union com-

mittee. and Dr. J. S. Tljil-lmsiill- president of the University 01 Saskatchewan.

Although the minor baseball leagues have not been launched on their way for the season as yet. there has been much activity of late in the formation of midget, bantam and juvenile groups by the various City district coaches and supervisors, and it was under- stood yesterday that all these of- ficials will meet tonight at the Travel Bureau to discuss their final Dlaus to get the respective leagues rolling.

According t; Fepdrts from the Western Capital last night, the Summerside Golf Club will open

officially for the season this after- noon when the first teams of the mixed two-ball foursome match will get underway at two o'clock. followed by a sweepsiake match mainly for those not entered in the mixed foursome. All competitions will be nine holes.

"What has happened to the members of the Detroit Baseball Club to change them from the band of tame tabbies they were a year ago into a snarling, clawing collection of Tigers who appear determined to keep into the thick of the American League flag race right down to the finishing line?" That is the red-hot question of the day according to Doug (Windsor Star) Vaughan.

"The answbr": qiiotes Vaughan, "can be none other than the name of one man; Robert "Red" Rolfe. When the ex-Yankee third base- man was chosen last winter to succeed rotund Steve O'Neill as manager of the Tigers, he made no rash promises of working mir- acles with a team that had finish- ed a staggering fifth in '48. He said 51ml“?! "There are only two things I will guarantee. We'll start the season as one of the best-condi- tioned teams ln baseball. We'll fight and we'll hustle all the way“. Rolfe has kept those two promises and therein lies the secret of the 81106955. and believe us it has been success with a capital S," contin- ues Vaughan.

o o "No better example of what Rolfe meant when he said "We'll be in condition" could possibly be offered than the case of Virgil (Fireball) Trucks", states the Up. Der Canadian sports scribe.

O O O O

“Lest season the big right-hm]. H’ Could more truthfully have pom called “Buttes-ball" than "Fire. ball". One of those people who "e -Drone to put on weight easily, Trucks never did attain peak con. dttion in the '48 season, bu; 4e. spite this he still was able to rack up more victories than any other member of the Detroit pitching staff with the exception of n11 Newhouser. The latter was the League's top winner with 21, Trucks bs3|ed.14. O

_ "To dste this season. however, mm has compiled eight wins s: slsinst three losses, and he is the Club's top winner. Re has pitched s total of 104 inninll, only four less than Nowhouser, the work- horse of the Detroit mound brig- sde. Continuing st his present pace, Truck looms ss s cinch to win II or more games.”

Chicago Cubs Defeated i 9-2 As Frankie F risch Makes Debut As Manager

(Canadian Press)

Frankie Frisch yesterday made his debut as manager of the sag- ging Chicago Cubs but took a 9-2 licking from Philadelphia Phillles.

The Cubs’ loss was their 32nd this year in the National League against only 19 victories.

Frisch, the Cubs’ 20th manager, has promised that the club will have to hustle like his old St. Louis "gas-house" gang. Frisch held top- man status with the Cardinals from 1933 to 1937 and with Pitts- burgh Pirates 1940 to 1946.

The Phlllles routed Bob Mun- crief Mth a five-run spurge in the third inning that included five hits and an error.

Andy Seminick whacked his 12th homer with two on in the sixth. lt was Sernlnick’s fourth homer in three games and his ninth in the last 14 contests.

Russ Meyer allowed his former mates 10 hits in registering his fifth victory.

Frisch held a 20-minute pre-game meeting with his players which also was attended by Richard (Red) Smith, Cub scout, but not Charley Grimm, Frisch’s predecs- sor who now is “vice-president in’ charge of baseball" for the Cubs.

Wally Westlake scored practical- ly a one-man victory as he rapped a homer, a. tr'lplé'and a ninth-inn- ing double to lead Pittsburgh Pir- ates to a 4-3 victory over Boston Braves.

A Pittsburgh crowd of 29.639 saw the doughty outfielder lash out tho winning blow with two men out, to send Pete Castlgllone home from] third and Ralph Kiner in _ from first.

Two slumping ball clubs met in Cincinnati and the Giants were the ones to get rolling as they blanked the Reds 2-0 behind lbarry Jansen’s tight, four-hit pitching. The Giants clubbed Eddie Erautt and Hurry Gumbert for 11 hits as tho Reds lost their seventh in a row.
