Exhibition Games Vaiuabie-- To Coach Of National Team Coach S0me WINNIPEG (CP) Jackie McLeod spotied weaknesses but injections of fresh talent appear to have pro- duced a strong Canadian na- tional hockey team for the world championships in Ljubjlana, Yu- goslavia, March 3-13. The club swept to 26 victories and four draws in its first 38 exhibition games, beat Russia for the first time in 18 meet- ings, collected five of a possible eight. points from Czechoslo- vakia and defeated Sweden 8-3. But while this was being done, McLeod noticed that his defence was "making too many bad mis- takes . . . getting worse instead of better'"' and that his forwards needed "to tighten up on check- ing and positional play."

Trouble of the kind facing McLeod is nothing new for Can- ada's national team. Able to reward volunteers only with university tuition fees] and a basic expense account, the CAHA has had trouble attract- ing top players.

The team that year was drawn from the University of British Columbia. 963 unit, Bour- McCann, 21- Mott, the most To bridge a player gap in 1965 the CAHA decided to invite Winnipeg Maroons, 1964 Cana- dian senior champions, to pro- vide temporary assistance. But transfer of the team to Winnipeg proved a_ disaster. Some players from the 1964 club could not transfer to the Uni- versity of Manitoba, others couldn't get time. off jobs or school to compete in exhibition games and the world tourna- ment fan support was a trickle with the exception of a handful of international matches and the team deficit soared.
