' Forble Kennedy was sitting on top of the world last night when we nabbed him out at Memorial Field where he was getting his good right arm in shape for the coming baseball season. He had heard the good word in the after- noon from Sam Pollock who honed direct from Montreal to l,et the young hockey player in on the secret before it leaked out in the newspapers. We didn't mention what news in the first paragraph because anyone who wants to find out need only look to the headline It the top of the page.

"Air, Pollurk told me." For- bic szini, "that I was helm: sold to tiliicugo and that I would be playing with Chicago next year and not Buffalo. Of course I will still have to play well enough to make the Hawks. Thutis taken for granted." Forbie's chances of catching it berth on the Canadiens this feili weren't too good and be fully re- alized lt. It isn't that Forbie hasn't the ability it is just that the Canadiens are overloaded with good ceiitremen. Displacing players like Jean Beliveau. Henri Richard or Jackie Leclair wouldn't be the easiest task in the world. LeClalr didn't have too good l season with the Habs last year but his performance in the Stanley Cup playoffs left lit- tle doubt that he is I solid big ieaguer. Bo Forbie is heading for I team that is in the process of rebuilding and from all appear- ances they mean business. in the last few days the Hawks have shelled out 890.000 to pick III four players: FOTIIII and Eddie Kachur from the cans- lienl and Eric Neoterenko and Barry Lnniley fromi Toronto. Earlier they acquired the ser- vices of Ken Mosdeil and Bud MacPhcrson from the Habs.

Forbie Kennedy is a good argument that they are wrong. Forbte Came UP through the steps: paperwt-itihl. .pce wee. bantam. midget and ijuvenile. While still a midget be lperformed with the Charlottetown Juvenile Abbies and in a playoff game for the N.B.-P. E .l chain- piouship Forbic rapped home 11 goals and picked up fire assists. At the age of seventeen For- ble tried for a spot on Happy it but I ruling that was then in vogue stated that a player of juvenile age couldn't per- form with a junior team. and that left Forbie out in the cold. He played exhibition games with Barrie though (that was til year they won the Memoriai Cup). The last half of that season he played with Halifax St. Marys in the South Shore league and although he had only played half the season he was beaten out by Rocky Sul- livan for the scoring title by only one point. For the next three yczirs Forbie was with .Vloiiti'cal Junior Cana- diens. He caught the eye of talent scouts early and Dick Irvin was trying for the best part of last season to pry him loose from the Canadiens. He finally did. No doubt it was I-'orhic's fine play in the Memorial Cup play- offs against Toronto that finally convinced the Hawks that he was worth I big price. He prac- tically carried his teammates. on his broad back through most of the series and his great two- way play drew raves in Mont- real and Toronto papers.

The team will begin training next and money to support its entry will be sought through subscriptions from Canadian business firms.

BEST POSSIBLE TEAM The motion followed broadly I suggestion by CAHA secretary- manager George Dudley of Mid- land, Ont. Dudley said that particularly In view of the defeat of the Kitchener- Waterloo Dutchmen It the Olympic and world tournament last winter at the hands of Russia. the Cana- dian public must be sold on the idea of the best possible team going to Moscow. A committee will be established which will choose the best coaches available. There was some sugges- tion lhat Hap Day. general mana- ger of Toronto Maple Leafs of tho National Hockey League. be named as head coach. with assist ants from eastern and western Canada.

After it period of training there and after a tenative weeding-out process. the team will start an ex- hibition tour. It will carry it across Canada and dip into the United States. playing both smateui and professional teams in exhibition games.
