The Islanders Hockey Club ex- CPIIUVP vote of confidence in coach Leo Lamotireux last night was one which Leo richly deserved and one which would be given to him by the majority of the fans judging the comments of those who stip-

port the team. As the executive pointed out Leo's record as 1! coach

has been itnciiuailcd even bv the lcmzur leadilltz Saint John Beav- eis' "Peanuts" 0'Flahert,v. Had Leo been able to have the services of all his players at the start of the season it would probably be salc tc say that the Islanders would todav be on an equal standing with the Beavers. . I O O

The showing of tile Islanders has been all the more impressive when a person considers the fact that the Beavers players have been v.'orkin,r,v as units for the past three years, half of the players being in the Pacific Coast League and the other hnf with Toronto St. Mike's This year Leo has picked up six new players and moulded five of them into the greater part of two smooth workim attacking units His sixth new player is R defcnseu man.

The role of a coach at any time is not a rosy one and it is made much more difficult when he has to assume the role of manager a; Leo has done.

Negotiations in the islanders- Glace Bay Miners trade in which right winger Bruno "Red" Favero would go to the. Miners in ex- change for goalie Bob Arneil, have not yet been completed, it was learned last night from is- landers coach Leo Lamoureux. Lco was talking to Glace Bay coach "Bud" Poilc last night and expects that the deal will be settled one way or another today. Thcre are certain details to be ironed out between us as the deal must be suitable to both parties", he added.

Negotiations for the deal were opened Wednesday night at Glace Bay following the Islandcrs-Syd- nay game in which goalie Hal Gor- don was badly injured. Following the game the attending Glace Bay doctor stated that Hal should be! given a complete rcst.

COLUMBUS. 0.. Dec. ti -(APl - The world champion New Yorkil Yankees reduced their radio operations in reply to George Trautmnn's grim warning that the minor leagues can not long sur- vlve the "radio umbrella" cf big league bu odcasts.

Trautman, president of the Na- tional Association of Minor Leagues. called for "reasonable restraints" on big league broadcasts in hi: an- nual report to the minors' golden jubilee convention.

Earlier, Commissioner Ford Frick pledged co-operation of his office. using as a hardstick -- "Is it good for'ba.sebnl1?" It was Frlck's first appearance before the minors since he was elected to succeed A. 13. (Happy) Chandler.

Yankee action followed swiftly The Yankees will not license any national network broadcasts such as "game-of-the-day" - from Yankee Stadium. They will curtail their "home of champions" net.- work that covered 18 cities in 1951. and will limit these broadcasts to any games. There will be no out-

of-town television of Yank home games. They will continue to lnoadcast all games. home and

away and televise all home games over a New York station.

Last season the Yankees per- mitted network urondcuts to all points, carried day and night games on their own 18-city chain and let a. New Haven, Conn., TV station carry some no games.

The attitude of other big league clubs was not definite. Many were ticddown to long term contract: that would rule out drastic action in '51.

In two years the minors shrunk from 59 league: to 49 and dropped more than 10.000000 in attend- ance. Trautman said daily. highly- colored descriptions of big lelttlle play made the fans major league
