McLaughlin Trophy. Fittings Ltd, Trophy is top prize in the secondary event. Bill Trewin's Cobourg rink ang J. McPherson from Royal Canadians qualified for this one in yes- terday's play. Bern Highfield had a rink here all the way from, Sar- nia. They were nosed out in each of their first two games but they came up with a wing-ding win in the third game, to capture the day's special consolation prizes. There'll be 16 rinks today, tomor- row and Thursday -- with the finalists to go at it on Friday. Now, at this late date, that the sportswriters have come right out and stated that they think the Grey Cup should be alternated, i.e. played in Western Canada (Vancouver would have the best weather) every other year, we can expect some spirited debates. But regardless of the arguments, if the Western Canada boys can show that the Grey Cup played out there will bring good financial returns--then they stand a great chance of getting the classic-- and soon! MONTREAL Canadiens terrific' trio of Boom Boom Geoffrion, Rocket Richard and Jean Beliveau continue to set a sizzling pace in the NHL goal-scoring race. Beliveau, whom many say will come shortly nne of the greatest of them all, scored three over the 1 75 goals already This thr have ted for and they look to be able to add about five each week from now until the schedule ends, which will easily pass the 100-mark predicted by coach Dick Irvin. Meanwhile, Sid Smith scored his 19th and 20th goals of the season on Saturday night and the selectors are going to have a tough time keeping him off their All-Star team this term. That blast that George Carver gave his Belleville team must have some telling effect. Memos turned around on Friday night and walloped Clinton Comets 12-1. Clinton had five mis- conduct penalties in this game ~-- referees Maurice Walsh (Ajax) and "Ticket" Crombie (Bowmanville) both dealing firm- ly with the players who indulged in back-talk. Thursday night Cornwall Colts whipped Kingston 94 and took over first place in the Eastern group race, beat Kingston again on Saturday 7-5 but lost to Whitby 84 on Sunday afternoon.

Boom Is Apparently Over, CAHA Starts PORT ARTHUR (CP) -- The Canadian Amateur Hockey Associ- ation has been asked from mem- bers within its ranks to cut $15.- 000 from a proposed $70,000 budget this year. a | The association originally asked for $70,000, but branches across the country handed in suggestions to reduce the budget. These were considered" at the CAHA's semi- annual meeting here during the weekend and most were deferred until the annual meeting. The suggestions included reduc- tion in the size of the official rule book, cutting telegraph and tele- phone costs, miscellaneous items and abolishing the CAHA scholar- ships for "the finer arts." ABOLISH. SCHOLARSHIP The meeting passed a Manitoba branth proposal that the "finer arts" scholarships be abolished. If in the future any scholarships are awarded, the resolution said they should go-to -players "worthy of higher education." : The association's secretary-man- ager, George Dudley also had some suggestions to cut the budget. One was to cut the semi-annual meeting. He also asked for reduc- tion in costs and dispersal of the official rule books. Both sugges- tions were deferred to the annual meeting. Delegates. decided the annual 0 Cut Down pionships in Germany next month came under fire. W. B. George of Remptille. Ont., CAHA president, said the ia- tion feels other countries will have to consider paying the Canadian team for appearing in the world tournament. "We have to compete this sea- son, regardless of the expense," he said. "And if other countries want us to enter a team for future championships, they will have to consider paying the club for ap- pearing in the tournament. "We can't and won't take funds away from our senior and junior clubs' just to send a club to the continent." GERMAN PROMISE ; He said Germany has promised to pay the Canadian team $15,000 for playing in four exhibition games and the world champion- ship, but that an additional $5,000 will have to come out of the CAHA reserve fund to meet expenses. In other business, vice-president James Dunn of Winnipeg said the district league play one court will be reserved for your use for part of the evening.

Balloting on the subject in the Canadian Press year-end sports poll, only eight of the 115 par- ticipating voters voted to keep the game in Toronto. At least one in each of the Big Four and West- ern Interprovincial Football Union cities joined the almost - solid country-wide vote for the switch, A few figured arrangements couldn't be made in time to make the change in 1955 and suggested 1956 at the earliest. Many men- tioned Vancouver's Civic Stadium as the locale for the first final to be played in the West since the cup became national in 1921, READY FOR ANYTHING The subject is certain to be dis- d at the Canadi Rugby Union annual meeting at Vancou- ver in March and the CRU, gov- erning body of the Bame in Can- ada, is prepared for anything. It needs only a vote of delegates to make a change in venue. CRU officials, aware of demands in some football quarters for a change in venue, made a move three years ago when it was writ- ten into the constitution that the final "shall be played in a city and on grounds to be selected by the executive" of the union. Pre. viously, the constitution stipulated that the game would be played at Toronto Varsity "if available, and if the stadium was not available it would be played on grounds selected by the CRU executive." Vern DeGeer, sports director of the Montreal Gazette, opposed the alternate: East-West idea and said he preferred two games, one in the East, one in the West on fol- lowing Saturday. Tommy Shields of the Ottawa Citizen also balloted no but said he 'favours some ar- rangement for a two-game series." Bobby Hewitson of the Toronto Telegram said the final should not alternate between East and West "year in and year out but perhaps the odd game should go to the West." He added that alternating year to year 'would take much away from the build-up of the game--the pre-game dinner, par- ade, etc., which cannot be built up on a year-to-year basis." Harold Atkins of the Montreal Star voted yes and added it should start '"'as soon as those involved can assure they have the facilities and administration to handle the game," Vince Lunny of the Mont- real Herald also voted yes but said that league schedules must end earlier. "How about Vancouver in 1955 and Montreal in 1956?" he asked. Milt Dunnell of the Toronto Star said the game should alternate 'if the 'West wants it". and "when they want it." REGINA VIEW Scotty Melville of the Regina Leader-Post voted yes and said: "If the western mild weather con- Majority Canadian 'Writes Of Opinion West Should Get Grey Cup Games Also tinues on. the prairies, otherwise Vancouver is the only spot in 1955, the CBC permitting."

Jack Daly of CKOY Ottawa and Ted Beare of the Brantford Ex- positor said a change shouldn't be Made until the West can provide seatin, dation Rotary All-Stars Defeat Whitby, 5-2 In an exhibition hockey game ed in Whitby Arena, Riideet All-Stars ne season of undefeated with a 5-2 decision over the thy Ju- veniles, in a game that was cram- med full of rugged action.

Rocket Richard Turns Over Gift To Two Hospitals MONTREAL (CP) -- Maurice (Rocket) Richard was presented with a $2,000 cheque Saturday night by the Canadiens' hockey club management in recognition of the 400th goal of his career, and the famous Rocket Promptly turned the money over fo the St, Justine and Children's Memorial hospitals of Montreal, ¥ ' The presentation was made be- fore the third period of the Boston Bruins-Canadiens National Hockey League game, In a brief speech of thanks in both French and English, Richard brought down the house when he said has often paid fines to the NHL, but he was sure none the money ever went to charity. Then he announced his wish to help the hospitals. MANY FINES Only last Friday he had a$250 fine slapped on him by Yrcsident Clarence Campbell of the NHL as the result of a blowup in a game at Toronto last month, In the 13 sea- sons he has been playing, Richard has had to fork "over about $2,500 in fines, including a $1,000 good behavior bond, In naking = the presentation, managing director Frank Selke said that at the start of the sea- son Richard was told if he reached his 400th go! something would be done for him, The idea then was to give him $1,000, When the 400th goal come Dec. 18 in Chicago, said Selke. Senator Donat Raymond, president of the club, decided the amount should be, $2,000, The Rocket was also presented by a manufacturing company with bination television-radio-pho- 4 Pp '. able to the 27,400-capacity Toronto Varsity Stadium. 3 Among those voting for a switch in 1955 were Bill Westwick, Ot- tawa Journal; Marcel Fortin, Ot- tawa Le Droit; Art Ward, CKUA, Edmonton; Al Shaver, CFRN, Ed- monton; Alf Cottrell, Vancouver Province; Keith Matthews, Van- couver Herald, and Erwin Swan. gard, Vancouver Sun. . Gord Hunter of the Calgary Her- ald -voted for Vancouver in 1 and Frank McCool of the Calgary Albertan balloted for the switch in 1956.

Joe McCarthy made the same leap Chicago Cubs' New Addition Expected To Make Improvement with considerable success, but Clarance beat him to it by a de- cade, In his first year in the American League, 1915, Rowland brought the Sox home third, The next: season he finished a strong second, and in 1917 his club not only won the pennant but hung a defeat on New York Giants in the world series. When the Sox dropped to sixth in 1918, a war year, Clarence se- vered his connection with the club and never again was to manage in the big leagues, though he spent two years as pilot of Colum- bus in the American Association before becoming an American League umpire in 1923. During the years he was calling em on the field, Rowland gaine a reputation as one of the league's most able and popular officials, For the last 13 years, first as manager of the Los Angeles club and more recently as league pres- ident, Rowland has remain an extremely important and influcn- tial figure in the game.

By WILF GRUSON Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO (CP)--An interlocking schedule between East and West pro football leagues is closer to realization but still apbears to be some years away. Too many difficulties stand in the way of such a step in the near future in the view of a number of club executives polled on the sub- ject by The Canadian Press. They believe it will come eventu- ally. But for the present it isn't practical because of high costs, uncertainty of air travel and the necessity for players to hold other jobs. \/ GROUND WORK LAID The_ ground work for such a hedule has been laid in the prac- key to the city and proclaimed the day.

An interlocking schedule between the Big Four and Western Inter- provincial Football Union has been talked about in recent years but no action has been taken. Al Anderson, manager of the Grey Cup champion. Edmonton Eskimos, is the most optimistic of executives. He says the interlock- ing schedule will come about, if not this year, the year after. "I would prefer the interlocking schedule to the present system of exhibition games which I think are leading to an interlocking sched- ule," Anderson said. "With air transportation as it is, it would be feasible. It would be of particular benefit to television as different teams would be playing more of- ten. The TV would also benefit the West as we could cut in on some of the revenue." WOULD STUDY COST Bert Warwick, a member of the Winnipeg. Blue Bombers manage- ment committee, said such a sched- "le would add more interest. An Interlocking Footba!l Schedule Still Several Seasons Away examination of the proposal from a financial angle should first be undertaken, he added. Annis Stukus, coach of British Columbia Lions, said: "It will come about eventually but it is difficult to say just when. It will come about when air travel be. comes more common and cheaper, It will be the salvation of the WIFU' and the Big Four as it will give the fan more variety in teams.' Dr. Beattie Martin, president of Saskatchewan Roughriders, said he is all for it if possible but believed it would be more difficult to ar- range now that there are five teams in the WIFU, Jim McCaffery, vice-president of Ottawa Roughriders, thought an interlocking schedule would not be feasible for a number of years, if at all, because of the distance in- volved and the high costs, He said it would take a lot away from the Grey Cup final the way we know would be no point in having the Grey Cup final 'the way we know it now." } ARGONAUT VIEW President Bill Ross of Toronto Argonauts commented that it would not be, practical for a few years. He said if the clubs operated on an all-out professional basis, elim- inating the necessity for the play- ors to hold jobs. it could be worked out. | Leo Dandurand of Montreal Alou- ettes said an interlocking schedule has been given a lot of thought by the Big Four and likely will be discussed at an informal meeting of union executives. Dandurand said the schedule provides a problem because the West has five clubs and interlock- ing might become unwieldy. BOWLING NEWS (See Pace 14) pionship.

For this dips down deep 4 Into the roots of man. Last summer we saw one of the finest examples of the fashion 'in which sport can set aside the terrors that may suddenly plunge a country into chaos, when all of Europe outside the Iron Curtain practically went bersek in celebration of West Ger many's 3:2 victory over Hungary for the world soccer cham. ' Hungary's team from behind the Iron Curtain hadn't been beat- en in four years. The Hungarians were regarded as a cer- tainty to win again. 'Early in the going they led 2:0, which in soccer is tantamount to a 4:0 lead in hockey, But the West Ger- mans rallied and eked out a 3:2 triumph. An Associated Press story from Frankfort declared the reaction was "like the Chancellor Konrad Adenauer sent a congratulal 'telegram to the team. Theodor Heuss, President of West A logan nounced that a silver laurel-leaf medal awaited each member ing heroes of the soccer field were Perhaps this outburst of enthusiasm was prompted by the fact that a team from behind the Iron Curtain, an arrogant, un- beaten favorite, had been plunged into defeat by a team that represented freedom. Perhaps it .was the traditional reaction that accompanies victory for the underdog, But whatever polit. ical significance may have attached to the result, it still was a tremendous tribute to the deep-rooted appeal of sport, Here are the West Germans and the Hungarians, both practical ly sitting on the H-bomb. Whatever their political philosophies, these peoples have had a rough time from generations Jack. For them, it has almost always been war, or threat of war. If anybody should be nervous, continental Europeans are the ones. Yet they declare a holiday with complete equanimity when a soccer team wins a critical game, and there is dancing in the streets with the not-too-distant threat forgotten, tem- porarily at least, as sport enthusiasm chases away the night. ~ Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge St, Toronto.
