Jimmy Coo Preston Riv Lettes May be referred to As 1940 Canadian hockey champions in the East but not Here. One Eastern paper published pictures of the Riv Lettes and titled them not on Tario titlist for this year but also champions of Canada. Mrs. Jimmy Dunn president of the Dominion hockey body heard the news with More than a Little Surprise. She had been doing All in her Power to arrange a series Between our stars the olympics and the Preston squad. The ollies have thrice gone East and competed for the lady bes Borough cup and thrice been turned Back by the Riv Lettes. All three times they travelled without any financial guarantee. The first time they cleared expenses but the last two years they went into the Hole. This year when the question was put to the Riv Lettes. Olympics said they could t travel without some guarantee. They also suggested that the Preston girls travel West for a change. It really was time for the easterners to try their Luck away from Home anyways. Preston however would t agree to this without a guarantee. Ollies were really going to get behind the hockey series and a Canadian women s hockey final would certainly have been a Novelty Here. It seem s funny that the Preston girls could have travelled As far As Charlotte town for a game last year and then not be willing to come Here. The Preston girls will retain the bes Borough trophy but will not have their names inscribed on it for 1940. It can be gained by com petition. The title will thus be uncontested for this year. Tough Luck on our olympic squad. They stuck together this year so they could get another crack at the Preston girls. Every year they have come closer to gaining the title. Margaret top claims they were better than Ever and i really think she believed they would have taken the i Vulette. K.
