Weeks) Hockey Champions Are Given Big We|comeHome By GEORGE Mcl\lEVIN Canadian Press Staff Writer SAINT JOHN, N.B. (CP)-—C‘an- ada’s world a m a t e u r hockey champions received a tumultuous welcome here Thursday ‘when they returned after nine weeks abroad where they Won the world tournament at Oslo. The people of th-is usually re- served -city turned out in full force to greet the Whitby players who returned world hockey su- premacy to Canada. They de- feated Russia 4-2 in the final match. They were -unlbealten and untied through the seven - game to'urnament._ People began gathering at dockside long before the Cana- dian Pacific flagship Empress of Britain was due from Liverpool. Band music filled the air and col- orful placards welcomed the team home as players filed down the gangwa-y. V TAKE HOME PLACARDS Team members were so pleased with the placards they asked for them as souvenirs and traded for autographs. The team was met by Mayors W. W. Macaulay of Saint John and Parker D. Mitchell of Lan- caster. Mayor Macaulay read a telegram of congra-tul.atlon»s and welcome from Prime Minister Diefenlbaker. . * Led by a truck -‘ borne army band, the players were taken by motorcade to a specially - built platform at King Square in the centre of the city for a civic re- ception. " * Each player was cheered by the estimated 4,000 fans as he moun- ted the stand. The crowd swarmed around a car carrying 21-year-old»Charlie Burns, named the world’s outstanding amateur centre during the Oslo tourna- ment. . Team Manager Wren Blair in- troduced the players by name. Mayor Macaulay presented each with a cigaret lighter memento. FEELS LIKE HOME Blair said he had never been to Saint John before but it “feels like home now.” Such a welcome in a city so far from his own was unexpected. ~ Blair told reporters earlier aboard ship that Canadians must get used to the idea that hockey is not going to remain “their game" indefinitely. All European teams were improving and the Russians learned plenty during the 1958 tournament. “The Russians tried hard,” said Blair, “but they were content to place second because they knew they were facing the best arma- teur competition Canada could offer. We were different. We had to win." 0 Canada wasn’t represented in the 1957 tournament from which Sweden emerged the winner. Pen- ticton Vs defeated Russia in 1955 but Russia d o w n e d C'anada’s Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen in 1956. This year’s win was, Can- ada’-s 17'-th since world and Olym- pic cornpetition began in 1920. MUST BE STRONGER Playing coach Syd Smith said in an interview the time is com- ing when All-an Cup teams with- out helrp not be strong enough to defeat European com- petition. “No team,” he said, “not even the ‘NHL calibre, could white- wash the Russians.” A civic dinner was tendered by the city following the reception. Players were to appear on tele- vision before leaving by train for Quebec City where they will play an exhibition game. They will go straight to Whitby.

' Moments later he understood their use and coach Phil Wat- son’s saying: ‘‘You’re not a hockey player until you get your teeth knocked out.” The cups held players dentures. The best current example of the Watson philosophy is Ranger cen- tre George (Red) Sullivan, who has a triple fracture of the jaw to go with five missing front teeth. Sullivan is lost to the club for the remainder of the Stanley Cup playoffs. » The fracture was suffered in last Tuesday’s first playoff game when Sullivan rammed into the elbow of Vic Stasiuk of Boston Bruins. The teeth were lost ear-E Iier. BILLS LOW «“A,ctua1-ly I don’t think hockey players lose mare teeth than pro football players,” said Ranger general manager Muzz Patrick, one of the fortunate oneswho re- tained his teeth through a distin- guished playing -career‘. Patrick said Rangers’ annual dental bill of $1,000 or less is rather low. . “We just pay for what they lose in games," Patrick said. “A lot of players lose their teeth be- fore they ever come up to us. .I was out in Winnipeg a few weeks ago watching the amateur club we sponsor and saw a 16-year-old kid stop apuck with his teeth.

Didhter advised them, for one thing, to “meet the fee question honestly." “Remember,” he said, “that patients resent fees which are tied to the saving of a life or the restoration of their health. To them, this approach smacks of blackmail. Patients also resent be- ing billed on the basis of whatever the traffic will bear. They want standard fees which are the same for everyone.’ The medical profession, he said could do much to show the pub- lic why increased costs for med- ical care are necessary and that they have gone up only slightly in pomparison with other living cos s. low cost car with Getting Teeth.

River Senior League Champion- ship and the W. R. Shaw Trophy when they defeated the Hamp- shire Bulldogs 6-5, to win the best three out of five series in straight games. p.m. AST, will be televised by] NBC. Crawford has won 14 of his last 15 starts .A pro only since 1956, he has 20 wins and two defeats. On style, Turner i-s right up Crawfordfis alley.
