G e r in a n y, tCP)-An ordeal over and a mis- sion accomplished. the world champion Pcntictiin VI took things easy Monday. relishing their first really carefree moments since they came to Europe Feb. 17 in quest of the hockey crown. Mostly they just rested. In the roistering aftermath of Sunday's 5-0 victory over Russia. in the de- ciding game of the nine-couiitry tournament. some players didn't get much sleep and were pretty tired. ' Tuesday they go to Soul. nearby :" military L ” nrters. to launch I series of post-tuui exhibition games. They will meet Canadian army and air force teams. play in Paris Saturday and London next Monday. and then head for home by air March 15.

TIME TO UNWIND

Most of the players were so keyed up for Sunday's game that it may be some days before they really "unwind."

Russian reaction was pointed up in a report from Krefeld. site of the final, which said Eugeny Ba- bich. key Russian player, was so crestfallen in defeat he broke hockey sticks and threw his skates out of the hotel window.

The loss was the first for the Russians in the two years they have participated in the tourna- ment. They were tied once last year but managed to defeat the Tortinto East York team 7-2 in the fina .

WORTHY CONTENDER-5

This time Canada sent I (cam worthy of I country of the home of hockey and Penticton Vs fully avenged the setback of a year ago.

The Russian players presumably don't relish the thought of their return home. where their welcome will contrast with the reception the Vs will get in Canada as heroes.

REACTION FAVORABLE

Reaction in Europe to the Cana- dian vlctory was generally favor- able and even the Communist newspapers hesitated to offer ex- cuses for the Russians.

West German newspaper: said the Canadians "fully deserved" their win over the Russian "robot men."

This apparently was I reference to Canadians ability to meet changing situations while the Rus- sian. against unusual Canadian defensive tactics. were at loss to change their style.

The Krefeld Wcst Dcutsche Zei- (ung said: "The Penlictons were stronger. faster. better. Their

'1

teamwork was superior to the Rus- Ilam but their greater toughness brought the decision." REDS CRITICIZE REDS

In East Germany. the Commu- nist party newspaper Neues Deutachland credited the "hard

body play" of the Canadians for the win. But it also criticized the Russians for being too slow to take advantage of their opportunities. The Vienna Montag headed its report of the game "Intelligence Triumphs Over Russian Routine."
