B -- (C?) - The 40th anniversary of Montreal Oanadicns in professional hockey last week prompted Dink (Mont- real Gazette» Carroll to note th! changes in the game that. have come about in that pa-iod. Looking back he says there is as much difference between the present-day players and the old- timers ea there is between the modrn ice arena and the rinks of 40 years ago. "What ivae more or lees modem sport now is a highly-organized industry and changes in the atti- tude and habits of the players were inevitable." Those early professional clubs were loosely organized, Dink writes, and so were the leagues they operated in. "In fact. inany parts of the country they took second place to the twp ama- - teur teams which played to large crowds." Dink recalls a story about Harry Mummibery ee told him by Tim Daly, Toronto ile beet veeelfl trainer. "He was a fireman on a trein be- tween Toronto and Stratford." Tim related. "Some night: when a game was scheduled be got beck to Toronto so late he didn't have time to visit a restaurant. So he used to buy a three-pound steak.

They adjourned with the oon- stitutton question referred bad: to a committee which will not re- port until the conference ls re- convened next year. George Machum oif Montreal, president of the British Empire Games Association. failed in a last-ditch effort to set up an interim body which would give the group something more than the in-foirnal status of a oonfer- once. The oonference endorsed a re- port. of a delegation which last. September approached the Feder- al Cabinet. seeking 810000.000 over a three-year period for‘ Improved facilities and another 3300.000 an- nually for development in sports such as field. track and aquatics which have scant. gate receipts. Since the Cabinet has taken no action on this proposal. the same delegation was left as a con-tinn- ing committee to keep trying. As the delegates broike up. they could add up these achievements: 1.

Toronto Maple Leafs fought.‘ back from the brink of the Notional Hockey League cellar last night. by conquering Chicago Black Hawks 5-2 before 13,501 fans. The victory was fashioned largely by dogged Ted Kennedy, back for his second game after being idle for more than e month with an injured knee. Kennedy clicked for two goals. One of them matched an open- ing Chicago tally by Gaye stew- art and the second turned out. to be the winner. Left winger Harry Watson aha!‘- eii scoring honors with Kennedy, rapping home two third-period in- surance goals.
