He was very much "old family" around Boston, and it was something of a sensation when Art Ross persuaded him to sign v.lh the Bruins. But he was only an average player, Judged by N.H.L. ttandards.

and his career was comparatively short Myles Lane played both football and hockey at iartmouth and, after graduation, Lerter Patrick signed him for the New York Rangers. Like Owen he was a defenceman, and, again like Owen, he had a brief career in the National Lear e. He now practices law and -he last time he was herd of in a hockey way was when Joe Williams, sports editor of the J'ew York World-Teiy, was plugging for him to succeed the late Frank Calder as president of the N.H.L. Gerry Geran was anchor Bostonian nd a product of Dartmouth. He waj forward, and they say he was a better hockey player than either Owen or Lane.

But he went to Paris in the lush "20-, lined up with a team over there and became something of a boulevardier. By the time he returned home and signed with the Bruins he was too old and too 1st to any good in the N.H.L. Of all the U.S. college players, cOd-timerjE here remember him claim Hobey Baker was in a class by himself. They say he could have stepped into the National League and been a standout right from the start.

A graduate of Si. Paul's and Princeton, he never turned pro, though he did play tmsteur hockey around New 'ork.

The new threesome will be composed of Don Bussiere, Ro.ss Parsons and Warren Chippendale, 'arsons and Bussiere are junior stalwarts. Harvard, a member of the prewar International Intercollegiate Hockey Loop, is led by John Chase, a former Crimson hockey star and captain of the 1932 U.S. Olympic puck squad. Chase has a squad of 16 men that includes two goalkeepers, Johnny Lavalle and Bill Yctman, four defencemen and three complete front lines.

Dick Greeley is the sparkplug of blue-line defenders, while Dave Key, Wally Sears and Johnny Crocker form the first string forward line.

This evening's contest is under the sponsorship of the Junior League of Montreal with proceeds from the game going to charity. The Redmen, who will be garbed in their white jerseys to offset the crimson of Harvard, are fresh from a pair of spectacular victories last week-end over Toronto Versity and the Canadian Olympic hockey team. McGill has gained considerable prestige from its twin killing which should be unpleasant news to the visiting American collegians.

Norman Dawe, of Montreal, first vice-president of the C.A.H.A., who saw the Tuesday game, said after a conference with Air Force officials that the R.C.A.F. club would retain its identity for the Olympics, but would be strengthened.

He indicated that the Air Force would grab eligible replacements from any club where they might be found, thus ditching original plans to have an team represent Canada at the Olympics.

Maurice (The Rocket) Ric hard and Roger Leger, both of whom are extremely doubtful starters here against the Boston Bruins tomorrow night. Both paid visits to Trainer Bill Head during the day. The Rocket won't skate today, but will give his injured knee a tryo'it tomorrow morning. If he thinks it will stand up, then he will be in the lineup at night. If he thinks it won't, then Joe Carveth, recently acquired from Boston, will take his place at right wing on the Punch Line.

If The Rocket is able to filay, Carveth will be used on a me with Billy Reay and Bobby Filion. It was reported around the Forum yesterday that Roger Leger would be rested against the Bruins and that Harold Lavcoe. who is being recalled from Buffalo along with Floyd Curry and Filion. would be teamed with Glen Harmon on the Habitants' defence. Laycoe, a former New York Ranger, has had National League experience, though he has never appeared in a Canadien uniform.

He was sent to the Bisons before the N.H.L. schedule got under way last October. Joe Carveth reports to the Habs when the Bruins arrive here tomorrow morning. He did not play for the Bruins in New York on Wednesday night. Curty.

Laycoe and Filion are expected to check in at the Forum today. Tomorrow night's game starts at 8.15 to allow Canadiens to make the New York train. They have a date with the Rangers in the Garden on Sunday night. 9 CIMER V-Wd-. 2204 St.

Catherine St. W. Jut Opp. The Forum An oddity of goal scoring, three hat tricks in a single encounter, featured last night's Quebec Senior Hockey League game between Royals and Valleyfield at the Forum in which the Q.S.H.L. champions blasted the lowly Braves, 9-4 for the fourth time this season before a crowd qt 4.000.

With Bobby Pepin. Gerry Plamondon and Grant Morrison producing three goals eacn, tho Royals vaulted over the Quebec Aces into sole possession of third place in the league standing. The hapless Braves matched strides with Royals for two-and-a-half periods before the Montrealers ran away with the game in the second portion of the fixture. With an 18-year-old junior netminder. Guy Leclerc, replacing Al Timori in their nets, Valleyfield built up a 2-1 lend in the first stanza as they carried an edge in play.

However, after both teams fired a goal early in the second period. Royals pumped five pucks past young Leclerc and added two more in the last frame to win going away. With statistician Len Brnmson recording the shots on goals. Royals outfired the Tribe. 33 to 31 with Gerry McNeil turning in another star performance in the Montreal cage as the Braves pressed throughout despite the one-sided margin.

Braves Take Early Lead The Moe White-Marcel Bessette-Connie Brown combination provided Valleyfield with its first two scores with White and Brown netting the puck to give the Braves a 2-0 lead. With the period rapidly drawing to a clpse Bobby Pepin streaked in from the right boards to cut the Valleyfield margin to a single goal. Morrison scored his first goal a 1.41 after the middle period opened to knot the score before George Bougie gave the Braves a short lived, 3-2, lead. Plamondon was back at 10.48 with the equalizer, and from there on the Braves were never in the scoring picture. Pepin completed his second consecutive hat trick, drilling two pucks past Leclerc while the Braves were short-handed.

Penalties continued to plague the visitors, and when Bougie went off for boarding Morrison and Plamondon tallied once each to give the Royals a commanding 7-3 lead. Plamondon and Morrison were QRFU Champions Honored by Clubs The Rockland Amateur Athletic Association and the Notre Dame de Grace Maple Leafs honored their respective intermediate and junior Q.R.F.U. champions last night with banquets in the Queen's Hotel and the Canadian Legion Memorial building. Presentations highlighted the Rockland gathering in which the players themselves drew the greatest applause with a unique gesture nf nnnreriation in the form of trophies from the players to the executive. Captain Mickey McFall was awarded the Al Raginsky Memorial Trophy and a sportsmanship award while Jim Chambers was presented a replica of the most valuable player award won in 1946.

Coach Dave Peebles was presented with a smart "station-wagon coat" from the club in recognition of his services while Mark Green-blatt received a travelling sbag as a token of appreciation from Honorary President Ralph Levine. The players were presented with Q.R. F.U. championship crests and will shortly receive team windbreakers. President Leo Lobel oresided over the event and Myer Insky rep resented tne y.it.i.u.

CT The Air Force announced tonight the first step in its campaign to put some horkey fire into its Olympics-bound R.C.A.F. Flyers, dropping a defence-man and five forwards from the present squad and injecting a complete new high-scoring line from the Ottawa City League ancr a utility centreman.

In announcing the changes, recommended by selection coach George (Buck) Boucher, the Air Force said two new defencemen also are slated to be with Flyers when they go to Belleville tomorrow night for an exhibition game with an Ontario Hockey Association intermediate team. Identity of the two new defence-men was not immediately announced, pending their qualification in tryouts. The Air Force said other additions would be made shortly, including some hockey talent recommended by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association which is counting civilian teams across the country. Dropped from the Flyer squad which lost its first two encounters as a unit by decisive scores and brought on the reorganization, were defenceman Sgt. Stan Molinski of Winnipeg and forwards LAC.

The Tigers beat them 6-5 and this was one of the wildest games of the tour.

18. SCR Czechoslovakia, Europe's strongest hockey-playing country, tonight concluded a six-game tour of England with a well-earned 4-3 victory over a picked club of England-born players. The Czech club came out on the credit side with four victories against two defeats and showed enough power to stamp it as a serious Olympic threat. The team, coached by Canadian-born Mike Buckna, a former Trail, B.C., Smoke Eaters player, performed against some of the strongest all-Canadian clubs in England during the series and made two of them Harringay Greyhounds and Streatham look like novices. They are fast and excel in a short-passing game.

Interviewed after tonight's match Bukna refused to comment an chances for the Olympics. "We have another 15 or 20 Olympic possibles at home and we don't know our team yet," he said. "But on our showing here the present team minus Yaroslav Drob-ny. one of the classiest wingers in Czechoslovakia, who is a cinch to go to St. Moritz has opened the eyes of Canadian players in Brit-tain." Alex Archer of Winnipeg, newly-appointed coach of Britain's team, said: "They're fast and dangerous around the nets.

Their passing is very good and their positional play is smart." The Czechs opened their tour with a convincing 8-1 victory over Harringay and followed up with an easy 9-3 decision over an England outfit which included four or five of Britain's Olympic players.
