At present, only players hold- ing Canadian citizenship papers are regarded as non-imports.
“This is a CFL matter and will be dealt with whem the CFL meets at the week-end,” said Jake Gaudaur of Hamilton, pres- ident of the Big Four who last year explored the possibility of importing rugger players to Can- ada. “It probably could go through,” he added.

_ SAINT FRANCIS XAVIER University Varsity hockey team made the Nova Scotia Hockey League look pretty woeful when they invaded New Glasgow stadium the other night and huag a most humiliating $2 trouncing on the league-leading Rangers.
Wf the Xaverians were miles in front of the other Nova Scotia college teams, the defeat would not mean so much. But St. F.X. is having trouble in the intercollegiate league and the other night was shaded by Dalhousie. :
All of which must lead ore to only one conclusion. That con- clusion is that the Nova Scotia.league is a weak sister and not very Hkely to cause anyone any grief in Maritime playdowns.
That's how it looks from here.
‘CHICAGO BLACK HAWKS and Boston Bruins had pretty weekends for themselves.
* Each team picked up three out of a possible four points and those points could go a long, long way in assuring these teams of participating in Stanley Oup playdowns. ;
Chicago showed to all that it really belonged in that runner-up slot. They crushed those New York Rangers on Saturday and fol- lowed up with a 1-1 showing against ‘Montreal Canadiens on Sunday. You could hardly ask more of a team in two days.
Boston Bruins, who were floundering around these past few weeks and -almost took over the league basement, showed definite signs of life with a 3-3 tie at Montreal and a 4-3 verdict over Toronto Maple Leafs at Boston-Gardens. Again, one couldn't growl too much about the Bruins’ showing of Saturday and Sunday. -
However, the followers of Detroit ‘Réd Wings had no cause for joy Monday morning. They lost both their starts and were only one point ahead of the cellar-dwelling Leafs. However, they have a gr me in hand on Toronto but the way Detroit is playing these days they are going to need more than that to stay out of the lowest region im the league. They have gone nine games with out a win and own
