Canadian Press Sports Editor

Don Preston indulges in a hit of nostalgia when he looks back to 1954 in Stockholm. His ex: nerienres at that time weren't a bit funny. but he now gets “a

Preston was manager of the Toronto East, York club that lost 7-2 to Russia in the world ama- teur hockey tournament that year. The Flast Yorkers also surrendered the title to the So— \‘IF‘IS.

it, was the last time the cham— pionships were played in Stock- holm until this year and Pres- ton reads everything he can get his hands on about the pres- ent tournament in the Swedish capital.

“Now, when I read what the

Swedish newspapers are saying.

about the Trail Smoke Eaters. and what they've said since 1954 about Canadian teams even on exhibition tours. the only thing I can say is that we've got to expect it. it‘s all a re- petition ‘of they said about us in 1954."

Preston. a Toronto business- man. talked it over in an inter- view the other day after the Stockholm 5 c a n d al sheets smeared Canadian player Russ Kowalchuk and the Smoke Eat-

ers.

"You know." he said. "we gave the Swedes a real good beating in 1954. We knocked them over 8-0 and they threw snowballs and ice at us and spit on us.

“Then they figured we were the only team that could beat the Russians and the newspa- pers gave us a going-over. Any- thing the Russians said or dld was wonderful. It was just. the oppsite with us. They whipped up animosity against. us."

After the Canada-Russia final game of the tournament, one Stockholm newspaper fired a last blast at. the Canadians un: der 3 banner headline that read "Why Canadians are Unpopu- lar Here"
