Coaching, in Notthcott'i book, is getting the athletes properly outfitted and to the rink on time. AS thoroughly publicized as a camp follower can hope to be Chauncey McQuarrie, a little gent who reports, the activities ol Sydney Millionaires for the Sydney Post Record. He writes hockey the way he sees it but really! His colleagues are divided in the way they regard him those who commend his individuality and those who are disposed to take him down a notch or two. When Sydney lost a game to Montreal, McQuarrie wrote: "The refereeing from tne ayaney angie was lousy." V.

"The most trouble I ever experienced with a centre man was with Carson," he said. "I used to make it a point to study the man I nlaved against, but I never did get to figuring Carson. He was the shiftiest player I ever was up against He'd double up on nu shifts for a time and then mix them up. He kept you guessing all the time. A great player and underrated."

J' i SAYING It briefly: If Rangers win the national Junior hockey title, It is likely their coach, Baldy Northcott, will retire from an active role In the game. After the Saskatoon series, he complained his coaching duties had cost him three and four hours a day aU winter time he could not afford from sports equipment business.

Detent for Rangers perhaps would prompt Baldy to try again for the Memorial Cup, but victory will leave him satisfied to retire. Nobody ever will convince Northcott that he has been more of a coach than an overseer for the Rangers this season. It is his theory the players have coached themselves, that he simply helped to keep them pulling together toward a common goal. Northcott is a self effacing gent, conservative In speech, with a quiet sense of humor, an excellent athlete himself. His coaching system simply is to collect the most ol the best players and let them run their own show on the ice.

Reticent, he never has put forth any claim for himself as a hockey mastermind. He seldom hat bothered to answer his critics, and there have been a few of these. The better hockey teams almost always win." he says about the Gains Award Elizabeth Ann McKellar, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. D.

S. McKeller, gained the gold medal figure skating award at Toronto Skating club, Saturday. The 18 year old local girl, former member of the Winn! peg Winter club and now a student at Branksome Hall, Toronto, won the unanimous approval of the judges. The only other Western Canada women skater to merit this award is Miss Mary Rose Thacker, Canadian and North American champion. Judges who approved unanimous' ly of Miss McKellar's performance were Miss Eleanor O'Meara, Miss Nora McCarthy and Dr.

Alan Pricstman, a veteran Canadian judge. Prior to her departure east, Miss McKellar was prominent in local skating circles. She was runner up to Miss Thacker in the senior club championship and gained junior and intermediate titles. She has skated In various carnivals in the United States and Canada. Last summer Miss McKellar annexed bronze and silver medals at Lake Placid.

Mrs. McKellar stated today a great deal of Elisabeth Ann's success is due to the early training ot Lew Elkin. She also paid tribute to others who aided in her progress. Mr. McKellar is at present out of the city but has been advised of his daughter's achievement Local Bowling Uneeda League The Uneeda Bowling league ended the season with the Jokers captained by Harold Pizey being declared champions.

Miller registered scores of 321 297 292 for a total of 910 and Mrs. Miller split the pins for 227 252 312 to garner 791. The Miller duo mark is 34 pins higher than the present top score in the men's doubles Millionaires Net Five Late Goals REGINA, April 22.

The most rabid Regina rooter had just about given up on the Rangers today. Sydney's scoring punch, the kind of power the West seldom has seen before, made the Millionaires prohibitive favorites to win the Allan Cup in straight games. Smashing five goals past Goalie Jimmy Henry In the last period after Regina had come from behind to tie the score at 3 3, the goal crazed Sydneys last night recorded their second straight triumph in the three of five final, winning 8 3. It was the fourth straight game in which the Millionaires had scored eight goals. They won the last two games of their Eastern nnai wun jnomreai noyais uy I si and 8 3 scores and they copped the first game of the Allan Cup final! at Calgary last Saturday, 8 6.

Defensively Strong Power wasn't the only quality shown by the Cape Breton outfit last night Millionaires drew nine of the 13 penalties and three times were short two men. Each time they defended brilliantly, with Goalie Bill Dickie one of the game's standouts. It was a closely fought game for SO minutes. Regina never was ahead but until the last 10 minutes the Rangers never were more than a goal behind. Steve Latoskl's goal was the first period's only score.

Garth Bush tied it up in the second period but Johnny McCreedy sent Sydney ahead again 21 seconds later. Then Jud Snell made it 3 1 but Stan Bladon cut the deficit with less than two minutes left. Johnny Kennedy tied the score at 2.46 in the third period but once again Rangers had scant time to enjoy the deadlock, Latoski netting his second goal 26 seconds later. Five Breakaways Regina had to go after goals then, and their power attacks backfired repeatedly. Grant Hall raced away for two goals, Johnny McCreedy one and Bobby Walton another.

Sydney picked up 11 scoring points on its eight coals and Win nipeg products got nine of them. McCreedy, Hall and Latoski scored twice each, George Snell had a loal and an assist and Dick Kowcinak helped once. Walton got a goal and helped McCreedy on another. Bush and Bladon scored un assisted for Regina, with Mario and Cameron drawing assists on Ken nedy's third period counter. Rangers, with three junior age players and another three playing their nrst season in senior ranks, tried all the way but they just didn't have it against the all star aggregation from the Cape Breton mining town.

Third game will be played at Saskatoon Wednesday. The fourth. if necessary, is scheduled for Regina Saturday and the fifth, if needed, at Saskatoon the following luesaay. Sydney Dickie; Via Bnowdon; Walton; Lstoekl, Hall. Suhi: Kowcinak, McCreedy, 8n.ll.

Monday advised youngsters not to emulate him if they would become top flight tournament players. "Long hittlnsr has paid me real dividends," said the Chlcopee, "but In maintaining my repu tation as a long hitter, I have been forced to sacrifice any chance have had to win some of the better tournaments.

"I simply haven't found it possible to slug with the driver and hit 'em soft with the irons. To dtf that you'd simply have to develop two swings. So far I haven't been able to do so, but I'm still working." Jimmy continued, "I would advise the ooung golfer or any golfer for that matter not to try for great distance. You can hit the ball long up to a certain point and still be delicate with your irons, but when you start slugging with your driver, you're going to find that same tendency creeping Into your iron play." oyaneyijoai 3 Straight REGINA, April 22 The dressing rooms were the quietest spots in the Queen City Gardens here last night after Sydney Millionaires overwhelmed Regina Rangers, 8 3, for their second straight victory in the Allan Cup finals. The confident Millionaires seemed to take the attitude the series was in the bag and It was just a ques tion of playing through the 60 minutes at Saskatoon Wednesday to make sure of the Canadian championship.

The young Rangers, wno put up a valiant battle against tne star studded Eastern champions for 50 minutes, appeared extremely downcast and not one of them had a word to say as players tugged at skates, sweaters and pads. BIG Bill Gill, Sydney coach, talked for Millionaires and said his players wanted to finish off the series as quickly, as possible and get back to Sydney. I don't think Rangers are any set up," added Gill, puffing his usual large cigar, "but I think we'll take them Wednesday." Gill remarked that Rangers were the victims of some tough breaks, adding Millionaires were a great third period club and when they unloosed their power in the final 20 minutes, Regina had no chance to come from behind. Coach Freddy Metcalfe felt Rangers should have run up a lead of several goals in the second when they showed their best against the Eastern champions.
