The United States team was on top going hito yesterday's competition but the Russians came up with gold medals in two women's gymnastic events. two men's volleyball competitions and the featherweight boxing chairw— ionship. The'Canadian team never entered the championship picture apd going .into yesterday's competitiOu there twe t! countries wrth a larger quantity of medals than Canada.

This was the extend of Canada's winnings at the Olympic games. although, several other Canadian representatives turned in credible perform- ances. desoite the fact they failed to win a medal. The disappointment of the 64 Games from the Canadian team’s point of view. was the performance of famed middle distance runner Bruce Kidd of Toronto Kidd failed to lify for any of the final events in which he had been enters . and before the close of the games he announced that he planned a temporary retirement. Bruce claimed that althou he was In the best shape of his life that he took stage fright and wasn‘t Able to perform property. He said he just didn’t have the neces- sary desire.

We read a story In last month’s edition of Hockey Plot- orlal to the effect that Reg Fleming was complaining of just been known as n 'rough-neck’ in the National Hockey League and that he would prefer to be known for his ability to play hockey rather than his ability to tight. Well. Reg. let the Toronto Maple Leafs know that lie was around Thursday night when he scored two oals for the Bruins while they were short-handed against the defending Stanley Cup champion.

R. WHEATLEY MONTREAL (CPl—Critlclsm of the new faceoff — interference rule in hockey appears to re- sult from confusion over the new rule and the long-standing Hockey League, said Friday. General M an a g e r - Coach Punch Imlach of Toronto Maple Leafs, who have been given three of the seven faceoff - ln— terference penalties called in 12 games this season. has been one of the loudest squakers. "Imlach says the rule is not improperly, but he goes no further." said Camp- 11. “We are tightening up onI interference after the faceoff by the same players who were in the faceoff." At the same time Campbell said the referees may have called the wrong penalty in pos- ; sibly three of the seven times} faceoff - interference calls have _ been called. Campbell person-l ally saw one of the calls he! considered wrong — against the Leafs in the first game in De~ troit. The new rule says "no player facing off shall make any phys- ical contact with his opponent‘s } y means of his own body ior by his stick except in the In y JERRY GLADMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer {while my team was ifirst time I have scored two short- Several players will be in thelhanded.” spotlight in weekend games in1 the National Hockey League,=Ted Lindsay. among em a former boy." highscoring defenceman. , Only four games will lplayed with Detroit Red Wings lan New York Rangers seeing ’action both nights.

EARNED BAD BOY TITLE As a result of his roughhouse tactics ‘.ie earn for himself the title of “Bad Boy." It was always Fleming‘s con,- tentlon that his minor league reputation as a tough guy pre- ceded him into the big leagues and that the othEr players were - most out for him "If they let me play. I'll play," he said. “But if they want to get rough, I’ll get rough." Despite his team's familiar stronghold on the cellar posi- tion, Fleming has shown he can play hockey and. at the same time. keep out of trouble. Right now he has fewer penalties (two) than Toronto goalie J Bower (threel and as many goals (two) as high-scor- ing Detroit rlghtwinger Gordie owe.
