"Tt will be as good as. Eu- * rope's best," he said Wednes- day. "Mistakes and how well we capitalize on them will be the difference." Simpson admits the Winnipeg- based team did not do well in converting opponents' mistakes into goals in its first 18 exhibi- tion games but hopes for im- provement as he builds to a peak for the 1965 world cham- one in Tampere, Finland, arch 4-14, The Nationals move toward that peak this month when they play nine exhibition games against Russia and Czechoslo- vakia. Bree Canada meets Russia, 1964 Olympic champions, five times with the first game in Toronto Sunday.

In 18 games, the team scored 90 times and allowed 47 goals. Included was an impressive 13-4 verdict over St. Louis Braves of the CPHL.

The British Racing Partnership, one of the big private entrants in the world championship racing driving series, has decided to withdraw from Formula One racing. Ken Gregory, managing director of the. partnership, which has Stirling Moss among its directors, said Monday there were three main reasons for the decision--increasing costs, dwindling income and the un- equal distribution of payment made by race organizers. Maroons last season. Centre Reg Abbott and: left winger Gary Aldcorn have 12 goals each, Al Johnson nine and El- liott Chorley eight. Aldcorn plays on a line with Roger Bourbonnais and Mar- shall Johnston, both members of the Olympic team that fin- ished fourth at Innsbruck, Aus- tria in 1964. ALSO HOLDOVERS Other Olympic holdovers are goaltender Ken Broderick, de- fencemen Barry MacKenzie, Paul Conlin and Terry O'Mal- ley and forwards Gary Begg, Brian Conacher and Garry Dineen. Two of Simpson's three lines in recent games were formed by men who were Maroon teammates. Johnson flanks El- liott Chorley and Aggie Kukulo- wicz while Abbott works with Ross Parke and Fred Duns- more. Nine players still on the: Na- tionals' roster toured Europe with Maroons in 1964 and Czechoslovakia in 1960 -- goal- tender Don Collins, defence- men Bill Johnson and 'Tom Marshall, forwards Dunsmore, Abbott, Parke, Lou Joyal, Mur- ray Couch and Jim McKenzie. Completing the lineup, still due to be pared slightly, are defenceman Bernie Grebinsky and forward John Russell, both with Maroons in 1964. ers. Taylor, six-foot-three and 210 pounds, was voted the most valuable player in the college All-Star game at Chicago in Au- @ust and was outstanding in the All-America game earlier at Buffalo. ° With the Redskins, the 23- year-old halfback has been equally successful as a runner and pass catcher, In fact, he will be the first rookie since Johnny Grigas of Chicago Car- dinals in 1943 to rank among the top 10 in both rushing and receiving. Going into Sunday's final lame with Baltimore Colts, ylor has gained 744 yards in 191 carries and 720 yards on 49 passes. ALLOWS ACES TO PLAY ROCHESTER, N.Y.

CAN, LTD. 725-9151 | By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Sports Editor It should be an interesting ex- perience Friday night at Mont- real when a few old pros mix it with the Russian hockey team. The Olympic champions from the Soviet Union. are big, strong and tough enough to mix it Canadian style. The Russians open an' eight- game Canadian tour at the Forum against Montreal Junior} Canadiens strengthened by ad-| dition of six pros from Quebec Aces of the American League. All Quebec players have had National League experience, There has been talk that the day might eventually come when the Russians will play off with NHL teams for the Stanley Cup. This Montreal game might give the pros a clue to the Rus- sian strength, but even with the great strides the Soviet Union has made in hockey over the years, the NHL clubs could give them a fearful beating. Russia will go with the same team, with possibly one or two exceptions, that beat Canada CARTILAGE REMOVED | NEW YORK (AP) -- Orlando Cepeda, San Francisco Giants' first baseman, had a torn' car-| tilage removed from. his right| knee Monday, Dr. Harrison Mc-| Laughlin, who headed the team of surgeons that performed the operation, said Cepeda "'should be as good as ever" as a result. Russians Siart Series Against Jr. Canadiens 3-2 in the Olympics at Inns- bruck, Austria, last February. The Russians have been play- ing Canadian clubs in world and Olympic tournaments since 1954 and they've made a couple of tours of Canada, They've learned a lot. They can ride a player into the boards, hand out as stiff a bodycheck as you'll see in Canada and they've picked up many of the tricks employed by the pros. But they have two big weak- nesses. WEAK IN GOAL Their shooting at times {is atrocious and their goaltending is pathetic, so much so that So- viet defencemen rely on their backchecking forwards while they back up almost into the crease to stop shots. Victor Konovalenko was in goal at Innsbruck and he's listed on the club coming to Canada. High, hard shots from 25 or 30 feet out should discour- age defencemen from scrambl- ing around in front of the nets. After Friday's game the Rus- sians meet Canada's national team at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto Sunday afternoon. Then they head West. Skate Exchange HIGHEST TRADE-IN ALLOWANCES.
