H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR Rod And Gun The monthly entertaiiment of our Union Rod and , featuring "Ketch" heson with his films from the Carling Conservation Club, was at- tended by a near capacity crowd Sunday evening in the UAW Hall, "Farmers of the Sea" depicted fishermen on the east coast catch- ne salmon in their nets by the t method. These salmon caught thus by commercial fishermen are sold on the fish market for a small fraction of the price these same salmon would bring if left to be caught by sportsmen, who seem only too anxious to pay well for equi t and dation when fishing. it told, how Spain, recognizing this fact, is going all out to get these tourist dollars by restricting commercial fishing. The new film on "Smallmouth Black Bass" showed the life cycle of this fighting member of our game fish, It revealed how, after the mother bass lays her eps in a gravel nest prepared for by the male, it is this father bass who is the one to guard the nest by striking out viciously at all ob- jects that come along, and even chasing out the female who has laid the eggs for him. MOOSE LOSING OUT "Expedition Moose" portraying the habits of the moose in North Western Ontario, which is the last remaining stronghold for the moose, who seem to need lots of room to roam about in, and there- fore do not like semi-domesticat- ed land. This big fellow is stead- ily fighting a losing battle, despite all the conservation measures that are being tried. "Ketch" Ketcheson, the guest "Ketch" Talks To Club instead of throwing them baek in the lake, where they continue to eat up all the scarce valuable food which the sporting fish need to eat to survive, Besides, as he pointed out, when a pan fish is same as a fighting bass. He said there has been much talk about what the size of a pickerel or bass should be, but that some lakes are so overstocked, they are not able to grow any larger. e addd that for this reason, there is a move by conservation clubs to change this law govern- ing the size of fish taken. "Ketch" also mentioned about the wonder- ful work the 37 biologists with the Department of Lands and Forests are endeavoring to accomplish, and pointed out that the Sports Clubs should try to help this work by giving correct informa- tion, instead of demanding changes before their feasability has been thoroughly investigated by these same biologists. Ben Smith, our local conserva- tion 'officer, speaking briefly about the coming smelt fishing, asked extreme care when using the pri- vate property of other people, inting out the complaints he bad ast year on destruction of lawns, and fires lit with fences and other valuable articles.

Tomorrow night there will be a membership meeting in Union speaker, explained why we should keep all the pan fish we catch, Hall, 8 p.m. ROY LEFEBVRE, who has signed as the new playing of the Oshawa Merchants, for the coming Inter-County senior base- ball scason, bad quite a recoru in 1953, when he was with Brantford Rex Sox. He had 416 putouts at 1st base and 35 assits, made 12 errors and had a fielding percentage of .969. At 3rd base, for about ten games, he had a .955 average. In 58 games, he had 65 hits, including 16 doubles four triples and three homers and drew 37 "walks". His average of .302 was third of the team that year, to Wilkes and Thurman, neither of whom played as man games, Lefebvre hag said he will start spring training here in Oshawa on Saturday, April 30, which is two weeks before the schedule opens, May 14. And by the way, Jimmy Jones, speedy outfield star with Mer- chants in '53, has come to terms with the local club and tied "Butch" Lawing for the most walks in the league that season. Jacques Charland, a 24-year-old skier from Trois-Riveres, placed first in the Dominion j ing championships and Olym- pic trials at Fort William over the week-end and a club-mate, Lucien Laferte was second. Clarence Servold of Camrose, Al- berta, won the Canadi cros try champi doing the 11-mile course in 1:17.41, Dows at Mont Tremblant over the week - end 12 U.S, Skiers invaded the championsips there and just about copped every title in sight. Art Tommy of Ottawa won the slalom event, to save at least one championship for Cana- da. All of which should give the Canadian Ski Association men food for thought. After all, there should be better performance from Canadians that this -- or shouldn't there? PENTICTON V's continue their undefeated pace in the World's hockey tournament with the Russian champions keeping right up. Some very interesting reports are drifting back these days. not the least of which is the description of the "machine-like" type of hockey the Russians have perfected. Apparently they have taken the hocky rule-hnok and they are playing mechanical form of hockey, that stres.es positional play. Every player sticks to his location, they feature three-man attacks and sprint quickly back into position the moment they lise possession of the puck. To perfect this technique, they have stressed speed and vigorous training in a rigid program that assures top condition. But the story about the Russian and Czech players tangiiig in a bout of fisticuffs and even a alleg- ed "kicking" skirmish, serves to take the "spotlight" off the Cana- dian players at least, besides proving that the other teams are far from penalty-free in their tactics. OHA playoffs are now .in full swing and there are some mighty Interesting hockey games been played, almost every night, as the rival Junior "A" and Senior "A" clubs battle for the blue chips. St. Catharines TeePees are creating great joy for Rexie Stimers, with two-siraight wins over St. Mike's while Guelph earned an edge over Hamilton. In the senior ranks, it begins to look as if every time a team is playing on 'home ice", they are good for a win, So far, every playoff game in the Senic~ group has been won by the team playing at home, Bobby Mader scored three goals for Stratford against Windsor Friday night but on Sunday, Windsor whipped the Indians 5-1.

"They spare no Russia"s Hockey Machine-Type Rigid Pattern By ARCH MacKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Writer DUESSELDORF, Germany (CP) The Soviet Union, revitalizing fac- tor in the world hockey champion- ships, has shaped the Canadian game to fit her own rigid pattern of sports--and politics. Years of intensive teaching in the hard Russian school paid off last year when the U.S.S8.R topped the class in her first attempt, ending Canada's cut - and - dried dominance. Observers here for the 2ist championships detect a striking contrast between Canadian an Russian attitudes to Hockey, The Soviets regard the game largely as a political activity. "The Russi are said an International hine a Ice Hockey expense, leave no detail unchecked. ONLY SINCE WAR "And therein lies "= nger. It seems to me the ans will keep on and on until they sweep everything before them. Remem- ber, it's only since the war that they have taken to hockey all out." "The Red raiders are no mys- tery team. They have a definite style and known stars. Canadian layers who have kept tab on them n continental exhibition games say their performance is not too unlike the North American style." The non - drinking, non - smoking tireless Soviets place greater stress on position Play, however, and their attacks usually take the form of quick three-man breaks, with an fast w aval when dom go in for onme- or two-man breakaways. The Russian equipment has a slightly off-beat look. All players wear helmets and sticks are much shorter and lighter than those the Canadians use. Padding is much the same. WILL EXCHANGE VISITS MOSCOW (AP) -- An American all-star college basketball team will visit Russia in July and a Russian team will come to the United States in the autumn, a top Soviet official said Monday. Alexei Chikin, chief of the for- eign division of the Sovet state committee on physical culture, said also an American chess team, in- cluding Samuel Reshevsky of New York, is scheduled to visit Mos- cow in June fo repay a visit Soviet teams made to the U.S. last year.

Richard recently passed the 400-goals mark, a tremendous performance, But Lalonde scored 413 goals in major league play, in 20 seasons from 1908 to 1927. Lalonde at various times led the scorers in four different major professional hockey leagues: the National Association, which preceded the National League, in both of which he was top goal-getter at one time or another; the Pacific Coast League in its hey-day, when it rated superior to the National Association and had drafting rights on the eastern body, and the Western League, when it was a major organization functioning on the Some of the seasons in which Lalonde starred saw only 14, 15 or 16 games. The longest season in Lalonde's history was 26 ames in all. In one season, with New York Americans; he played only one game and with Saskatoon the year before that, Some of Lalonde's individual feats are truly incredible, He is one of only two players in all the history of major professional e hockey who scored nine goals in a single game. On March 17, 1910, Lalonde was playing for Renfrew Millionaires, one of the most fabulous teams of all time, and the victim of his hockey career with Canadiens.

So far this season the Bruins and Leafs each have played 20 tie games. The record is 21, played by New York Rangers in the 1 51 season. The league itself may be heading into the greatest num- ber of saw-offs ever. So far this season there have been 46 ties, compared with 33 in all of last season. However, the records and near- records, as the season moves to- ward its close, revolve around Montreal Canadiens, particularly the Seong Big Three of Maurice (Rocket) Richard, Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion and Jean Beli- veau. Every time Richard scores a goal he breaks two records--total goals and total points in any player's NHL career. The Rocket two seasons ago passed the goal record of 324, held by Nels Stew- art of the old Montreal Maroons, and now has 420. Last season he jockeyed with teammate Elmer Lach, now retired, for leadership on total ints. Richard finally forged in front, Lach finishing his career vth 623. Richard now has HARVEY'S MARK Just last week, Montreal de- fenceman Doug Harvey broke the record for assists by a defence- man in any single season. He has 42. against the old record of 40 by Babe Pratt of Toronto Leafs in the 1943-44 season. Bert Olmstead, Montreal's lanky leftwinger, is within hailing dis- tance of the assist record by any player. Ted Lindsay of Detroit Red Yings had 55 in the 1949-50 season, Olmstead is 10 short and has 10 games left in which to beat that mark, Beliveau, with one goal and an assist last week, still leads the league in scoring points with 68 but is in danger of being displaced by Richard and Geoffrion. The Rocket, with three goals and three assists, and the Boomer with a two-three collection now have 66 on wi . Beliveau h. ; ADDED TWO rib Olmstead added two assists last week and is in fourth spot with 5 points. George (Red) Sullivan of the tail-end Chjcago Black Hawks bounced up from eighth to fifth place on a goal and five assists and trails Olmstead by a single point. Sid Smith of Toronto scored his 29th goal last week--closest man in the league to the Montreal threesome--and has 49 points. Gord Howe of Detroit, with two assists in three games, also has 49 points, made up of 24 goals and 25 assists. Canadiens, leading the league with a two-point margin over De- troit, had the best team record of the week, five of a possible six points on two wins and a tie. The Wings and the third-place Leas each had a win and two es. The battle of the leading goal tenders is just where it ex a week ago. Harry Lumley of Tor- onto had a six-goal margin over Terry Sawchuk of Detroit. The Leafs have been scored on 116 times and the Red Wings 122.
