Meanwhile, Vikings defeated Nomads 9-0 on Saturday after- noon, at Victoria Square. In these contests, Vikings tries came from Len Bobbie, Gary Bruce, Charles Mendelman and Dave Thompson.

A Stals spokesman said Mon- day négotiations are 1] with the 51-year-old Pilous, widely rumored to become the general manager and coach of the Seals who reach NHL status in 1967. "He also is negotiating with other people, and so are we," the spokesman said although admitting the Seals are "closer to Pilous than anybody else at this moment." Norman (Bud) Poile, general manager of the Seals the past four years, said Thursday that he was resigning at the end of the current Western Hockey League campaign.

Holds Brisk Workout By CLIFF GORDON The gutted - stick boys were out in full action last night at the Brooklin Arena, as the East- ern Canadian Champs made ready for the up-and-coming season. Brooklin always appear to be one of the slower teams to get rolling but they have a habit of being there when the open- ing whistle is dropped and have a still more peculiar habit of being around when the cups are being handed out. There were several rail-birds out watching, including former members of greal teams from Toronto, Brampton, 'Oshawa, Whitby, Lindsay, Port Credit and St, Catharines.
