But from this writer's viewpoint it. is going to be a difficult job. Legionaircs have shown a stead- iness in all three games that has been surprising to say the least. Yesterday afternoon they came through with a superb defensive performance behind Mc/ileers brilliant hilrling that stood them in goon stead when the Anchors threatened in the dying moments of the game and if they can con- tinue at that pace runs are gill"! to be scarce as hcn‘s teeth for the opposition.

MONTREAL, A118. 25 —- (UP) - Montreal Canadlens are building for the future and in the process other clubs of the National Hockey League are warned that "the 'nlce‘ days are over; we're going to get as tough as the rest of them, per- haps tougher."

General manager Frank Selke,

out we want the tough younger players ready to step ln."

Seiko made it plain that every man will fight for his job this win- i-cr. In addition to the ex-Rangers there will be a. flock of new talent t.rying out. with the prospect some oi Montreal's Royals of the Quebec Senior league will catch s steady job with Canadians.

Doug Harvey of Royals is s better-than - average defenceman and may give Laycoe s battle for s defence job.

These two would give Csnsdlens six defencemen, since Leo Lam- oureux has already been turned cver to Buffalo of the American Hockey League. The regulars left. are Butch Bouchsrd. Ken Rear- don. Glen Harmon and Roger Leger.

There will be plenty of talent bidding for forward-line jobs. The ability of Floyd Curry, Rip Riopelle and Tod Csmpesu of the Allsn Cup champion Royals is well known.

Whether the famous Punch Line will remain intact is still s ques- tion. The veteran left winger Toe Blake_ who was 35 years old lsst Thursday, figures he hss st least one more good season in his system. He reports his legs in bet.- ter shape this year and Selke sd- mits that Blake's fighting spirit is all in the veteran's fsvor.

Lech is back. fully recovered from the skull fracture he suffer- ed last. winter. Richard is un- doubt-edly s fixture.

Johnny Quilty-snd Leo Grsvelle should show improvement this year. Kenny Moedell, who broke his srm lsst winter sud sgsin in softball this summer. is not ex- Pteted back till December.
