Hotter to negotiation lasts of Junior up. Nothing could be hockey officials even in a heat wave than to accuse them of con the alleged practice of _ teen aged hot shot hockey doing Lacin layers in places away from Home and parental control. They liter ally boiled thursday. It started at Ottawa when the Canadian teachers federation said thursday that this shifting around Vas done with the Complete con Currence of the Canadian Amateur Lockey Alberta and British Columbia spokesmen said he practice just about destroyed Ligh school hockey in their pro Vinces. Further than that the federation Assed a Resolution deploring the present regulations of Amateur and to _ hockey which permit the placing of names of school boys on negotiation lists of Junior hockey teams while still playing midget they said this was done without consulting the boys or their parents. This subject is an old one developed into a yes it is no in in t clash Between educational and hockey officials. The he exact it s eight months old. The lid was lifted in january at Ottawa by j. L. Jack Murray Kingston ont collegiate Institute principal and was followed up by or. G. E. Hall president of the University of Western Ontario at a meeting of the Ontario educational association in Toronto in april. Murray speaking before a meet ing of sports governing officials called for immediate or. Hall said Young hockey play ers were the Nicholas Nickleby of today through the insidious and unjust methods of pro and Amateur hockey. Clan exec Campbell president of the National league and George Dudley of Midland ont., Secretary manager of the c.a.h.a., asked education authorities each time to produce facts and figures to sup port the charges. They asked again thursday. Have been trying to get responsible information for some time but so far we have not received any Campbell said at Montreal. He added that More sport Page 16 the decline in High school hockey has been going on for 20 years or so mainly due to schools lacking the proper facilities for the Dudley was More outspoken. All this stuff is a lot of nonsense. These alleged hockey experts raise a furore put i be still to receive a complaint about exploitation from players or he said in a Telephone interview. We Are setting tired of these wild and unsubstantiated charges. We be heard it All he fore and we be asked for in formation and we received some useless stuff front the secondary schools association mentioning two players refer red to by them As a and v. Course no names or any other information was Given. I have written to educational authorities asking them to give me detailed information. I be talked about it Over the radio with or. Murray and still they can t Back up these foolish charges.

The club is in almost perfect shape and As far As the Eastern trip is concerned it s As ready As it will Ever be. Coach Larson will not hold practices Over the week end he figures the Fellows have worked pretty hard the last couple of weeks and there is no sense Over doing it. Monday night the club will Brush off the week end Layoff for about an hour and then head train. Haven t heard anything to the effect but we wonder if coach Larson will hold Chalk talks aboard the train. They Are one thing probably the Only one that bombers have not yet had included in their training diet. Essential to a football club the Chalk drills Clear up Many Little Points. But then again Chalk talks Are something else. After 15 or 20 minutes they become most Boring. Los after the first Quarter hour that the boys usually begin to get fidgety and the Back Row gang Start whispering to each other it s too bad Gord Sturtridge broke a Bone in his ankle. The slim youngster who showed Well in his Junior years with rods and who in bomber workouts proved himself to be a fierce Tacker and adept at catching passes was fitting in nicely with the Strong bomber end brigade.

Coach Ernie Hempey wants to see All the eligible players from last team out and any others who wish to try out.
