Dec. ll —(CP)— Soccer and cricket can keep the "hat trick" but the term should be banned from hockey. That's the judgment of Stan Sapiin. alert, publicity msn for New York Rangers who is staging of the phrase when referring to scoring of three goals in succes- sion by one player. Says Saplin in .1111 Mldison square Garden program notes: "What does it meant. . . .that's ex- actly the point. . . . it hasn't caught on yet-even though it's been around longer than many of ifs . . . and it's belief in this oom- er that after no long s struggle without success ‘hat trick" should retire. . . ." - Origin of the term lwcars shrouded in mystery. some m ‘t ers claim it. was first used in con- nection with soccer. Some experts say that “hat” angle came from the action of fans who threw their hats up when a player scored three goals in soccer or took three wickets with successive balls in cricket. saplin says "IIOWIPID" 01611 IM hockey program editors crnplo! the term “without confidence" and points out that a "leading sna- dian daily" in one of the to hoc- key towns referred recently to a "three goal hst trick." Most folk wouldn't know what was implied if "three goal” had been omitted. the publicity man said adding that s catch phrase shoiiiu be familiar to all. "Baseball people have yet to be heard saying ‘a home run of four bases," he noted. ‘ Dismissed As Bosch 0t Jrs. WINNTPEG.

All three coaches will have s. chance to give all candi- dates a thorough trial and when the league gets underway lineups for the season should be pretty well decided. 4- i 4' It As has been‘ the case in the pest few seasons, attendances continue to be disappointing. Despite the efforts put forth by the players and oflicials alike, only a handful of fans have witnessed the games so far this season. However. said players and officials are still con- fident that the turn of the year will show a. definite improvement in this respect. And it is to be sincerely hoped that such will turn out to be the case. + ~0- sl- Branching out each season the physical fitness program" entered into a new sphere‘ recently when s South Queen's Hockey League was drawn up embracing teams from Tryon, Crapaud.

O O 0 O hr there wasn't even a whisper of a. possible "fix' like in the Jake Hoop Season By JACK MTICHIIL Canadian Press Stat! Writer Since the Santa Claus who vis- its good littla hockey and football players still shuns the gymnas- iums, it must be the lure of the Olympics that helped bring out the baskebballers in force for what shapes up as the biggest hoopsca- son in years in Canadl. Officials in most centres report player interest at near record peak. They were sorry they couldn't say the same for the spectators. how- ever, so the game remains as am- ateur as it was in 1891 when Dr. James .Na.isrnith, a. native of Smiths Falls, Ont, originated it from soccer by elevating a couple of peach baskets. The boom in new teams and stronger leagues extended from the seniors. with their eyes on that Olympic trip next summer, down to the juniors and to the countless church and house leag- ues. a. Canadian Press survey showed today. The Canadian Basketball Asso elation, charged with naming the team for the slimmer games in London, hasn't completed selection plans. But Laury Irwin. Associat- ior president, said in Toronto that tentative plans call for trials in Toronto next May and the Do- minion's representative will prob- ably be a combination of the two teams ma ng the best showing. rather than an all-star team. On the basis of the last Olymp- ics, Canada can look forward to whichever team is chosen making a strong bid for points. In the 1936 games at Berlin. the Canad- ian team finished second among the 22 countries, winning five starts before losing, 19-8, to the United States. Although both expected to make a bid for the Olympic spot, last year's two Dominion finalists aren't engaging in league play this season. The Canadian ‘champion Vancouver Meraiomas. now known as the Clover Leafs. made ar- rangcments for an exhibition tour oi the Philippines and Cuba while Windsor Assumption. e a s te r n champions. also will play exhibit- ion gainer. only, mainly against U. s. teams. There were indications of some spectator revival. even though few cities have a decent place to house the crowds. Montreal averaged 1,200 at openin! weekly double- headers. Ottawa tried its hockey Coliseum last season and crowds of 3.000 responded while thous- ands turned out to University of New Brunswick home games in the big Lady Beaverbrook gym- nasium at Fredericton. Tennis Star Suing Promoter PARIS, Dec. 11-(R.euters)—Yvou Petrmwiinvbledon tenrds champion last year and one o! the most co;- orful players in France, disclosed today that he is to sue Charles Micixaelis, a Paris sports promoter for an undisclosed amount believed to be in the neighborhood of 2.- 500.000 francs (about 020,000). that Micliaelis dissuaded him from accepting either of two offers to turn professional in the United States in 1946 in favor of prom- ised arrangements in Prancewlucli never materialized, he said.
