BILL COWLEY was a great performer in his day. There are loads of great players today. The present day players usually are the first ones to laud the fine showings of those players who per- formed many years ago in the National Hockey League. And most of the old timers are indeed willing to go overboard for the efforts

a of the stars of today.

However, we think Cowley has shown us that he doesn’t wish

to belong to the latter class of old timers.

sel ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT came from the great Cana-

Interviewed by Foley following

Montreal's great victory on Saturday, Harvey was slow to men- tion the Leafs’ great surge in the final period. Indeed Doug was hard to express the opinion that his club took things easier in the third when the Leafs almost chased the Blakemen out of the

Montreal Forum.

No, we are not trying to say that Canadiens didn’t deserve their victory. We would be giving away to ‘sour grapes’ if we did. But we do think that Leafs earned the respect of everybody Saturday with their gallant stand in those closing minutes. Had Jacques Plante shown any weakness, Canadiens could easily have seen

of the hockey season for the team that has achieved a record of four straight Stanley Cup champion ships.

The meeting was in the famil- | iar surroundings of the Cana- diens’ dressing room in Montreal Forum. The get-together was in sharp contrast to the bediam of Saturday night after Canadiens had defeated Toronto Maple Leafs 53 to win the bst-of-sevn cup final 41.

The official break - up of the | team for the summer will come! today. The meeting Monday was largely to acquaint the players with the wind-up program. CIVIC RECEPTION

First there was the civic recep- tion for the team Monday night at Montreal city hall, where Mayor} Sarto Fournier extended the| city’s congratulations.

Today thé players will aysem- ble at the Forum for the official picture-taking of the duai-title team—champions of the National Hockey League and world title-| holders as possessors of the Stam ley Cup. :

After that the players will be on their own until they meet again for the training season in | mid-September.

Whether all will be back, whether the draft or trades this summer will bring about changes, was left to conjecture. Top offi- cials weren't commenting. Also, | there are plenty of likely pros pects in Canadiens’ extensive farm system.

Whitby Dunlops Seek To Set

New Canadian Hockey Mark

TORONTO (CP) — Whitby Dunlops are betting on their lucky Canada sweaters to help them set a new Canadian hockey mark.

Whitby players wore the sweat- ers when they captured the world hockey title at Oslo last year and they've since looked on them as a lucky omen.

The sweaters were worn Sun- day when the eastern Canada senior champions skated out a listless 5-2 victory over Vernon Canadians in the opener of the best-of-seven Allan Cup series.

. General manager Wren Blair has indicated the players want to keep using the worn and fading outfits for the rest of the series. Second game is scheduled Wed-

Whitby is eager to take the series quickly and become the first senior team to de so the year after returning with the world crown.

The western champions say Whitby won't have it as ‘easy again as they did Sunday.
