Que. Wednesday was elected president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, succeeding Jimmy Dunn of Winnipeg, who held tha post of two years. LeBel becomes the first French -Canadian to head the governing body of Canada's amateur hockey in the association's 41 year history. He was first vice-president for the last two years, Gordon Juckes of Melville, second vice president, moved up as first vice-president and Jack Roxburgh of Simcoe, a former president of the Ontario Hockey Association, was named second vice-president. George Dudley of Midland, remains as secretary-treasurer, a I Post he had held since 1947.

Juckes told the meeting Wednesday that the week was an rr neiimiig success ana uui the minor committee was recom-j mending without reservation me continuance of it. This recommendation was accepted without dissent and the date for the week's start in 1958 is Jan. 25. The CAHA also voted unanimously to endorse the Memorial Cup dinner, started in Toronto two years ago and continued in Fun Flon, this spring. It accepted recommendations by Juckes to have the CAHA sanction the dinner and assume some responsibility in setting it up.

It also concurred in a criticism advanced by Juckes of the CBC in that it gave the Flm Fion dinner no coverage while it had carried the Toronto dinner on both television and radio networks. The officers were instructed to take this matter up with the CBC for future Memorial Cup dinners. SEEK FREE HAND In other business Wednesday as ported that Canada has more than So.wu youngsters laKing pan in minor hockey; a motion concern- ing strengthening oi junior nocsey teams for Memorial Cup play was passed; the budget was accepted and an in-camera discussion of the pro-amateur agreement was completed. The press was excluded Tuesday from the pro-amateur issue discussion as the CAHA's negotiating committee sought a mandate from the general meeting to conclude or reject a new agree- ment between the association and the National Hockey League. There has been no written agreement for two years and a meeting between representaaves the two sices is cue snorto It was learned Wednesday that the major consideration the CAHA will seek in any agreement with the pros is to maintain a free hand in setting playing rules for minor hockey.

The Memorial Cup strengthening motion passed Wednesday allows no player additions for Ontario Hockey Association winners or Ottawa Canadiens, a free-lance team sponsored by Montreal of the NHL. Western branch winners, except Thunder Bay, may add three players from their respective leagues for inter-branch competition and the winner three from anywhere in the West for the Memorial Cup final. The Maritimes may add six players from its branch for inter-branch play and league winners in the Northern Ontario branch, the Ottawa district and Thunder Bay may add six for inter-branch play. The meeting also gave the jun lor Ottawa Canadiens the right to continue to operate as a standby club as it did last season, playing in various leagues and entering the Memorial Cup playoffs. Juckes' minor committee report showed 45,156 players registered in the recognized divisions of minor amateur hockey and another 37,684 registered in the lesser categories, such as Tom Thumb, for a total of 85,840 registered amateur minor hockey players in Canada.

DC'DLEY TO OSLO CAHA branches supervised expenditures totalling $45,650 in. operating the 2.223 minor hockey clubs in the country. In discussion of the success of the Young Canada Hockey Week, spokesmen pointed out the co-operation of the press, radio and television and of the various hockey organizations who assisted in making the week a highlight in "the minor hockey season. Wednesday's meeting also approved appointment of Secretary-Manager George Dudley of Midland, as the CAHA delegate to the general meeting in Oslo, Norway this summer of the International Ice Hockey Federation.

In Tomor- of th7pacifie Coat Sta Edmonton's Best of the charge. Apparently the main objective of the crown is to confuse counsel for defence and in this particular instance Vancouver's Tabbies are experiencing marked success.

Lions started out in 1954 with the idea of trying to buy the pennant but are new floundering in a storm of discontent in trying to devise a championship-producing system. So far this year lions have, to all intents and purpose, ranned Al Pollard, because -Clem Crowe wasn't happy with his split personality of footballer sportscaster, and done a rapid back-up' on Chuck Quilter. When the Leos cut loose Arnie Galiffa last year Pollard panned Crowe and things went from bad to worse until just re-. cently when Pollard was given "conditional release," i.e. permission to deal with another WIFU club, but not permis-- sion to sign.

With Quilter it was less confusing. The story goes that Chuck was originally offered one contract and when he came in to sign was offered another at considerably less of the green stuff. Naturally he nixed such a deal and was promptly informed by new general manager Herb Capozzi that it was no, and go, so Quilter went, but not far. The press and fans put up such a squeal that Capozzi had to retreat and luxe Quilter back into the foid. seem to have done their level best In creating as much bad feeling as possible.

The current kick Vancouver scribes are on is team spirit and for a sample of the grumblings here is an excerpt from Eric (Vancouver Province) Whitehead's recent column: "After a careful survey of facts, figures and people, mainly the latter, we have come to what local football fans will regard as a mournful conclusion, to wit: your B. C. Lions, at this point at least, have already clinched last place in the WIFU standings. This view is based on the generally accepted estimate that team spirit represents approximately 60 per cent of a team's effectiveness. This estimate, which is not a whit too generous, leaves us with only a 40 percent ball club, hardly enough to stand the gaff in a tough league.

"From this you will gather that the assessment of team spirit on your Lions totals exactly nil, and you are exactly correct. Probably not sine the invention of Notre Dame has a football learn been so split with discontent, disharmony, and plain bad feeling." The crown now calls Robert "at "Should these commitments materialize, the dissolution of the Pacific Coast League ran be envisaged in the near future. Thus Portland, Seattle and Vancouver with larte investments of real estate in their parks and environs, must look for a strong re-alignmrnt which geographically, none better exists than in the direction of Spokane, Calgary and Edmonton. "In turn, Edmonton, Calgary and Spokane would of necessity have to put their baseball houses in order, to attain membership in a high classification of baseball. The surest and quickest way for Edmonton to qualify, would be a booming attendance at Renfrew Park during the 1957 baseball season.

We do have a good ball park today, but the present seating capacity would have to be doubled. Two aooitionai ugnt ioeis uuiu uc required to qualify a double A lighting standard. Considerable more car parking facilities would be needed. SUNDAY BALL IMPERATIVE "The nation is on wheels today. Without ample parking facilities, no spectator sport can survive, regardless of the attraction or the fine park facilities.

"Sunday legalized baseball for Edmonton and Calgary would be imperative in that Spokane, Seattle, Portland and Vancouver the survival of the game, both from the standpoint of scheduling and financing, especially in high baseball classification. "Baseball on such a classification would lend much to the cities of Calgary and Edmonton. The publicity value and the business such a franchise would develop for Calgary and Edmonton would warrant an all-out backing and support of the citizens.

Court is now adjourned until August. Juckes' comments came as a result of issues that arose during the junior final between Flin Flon Bombers and Ottawa Canadiens.

Referring to uncomplimentary remarks printed in a number of newspapers and credited to Sam Pollock, coach Of Canadiens. who lost to Bombers in seven games, Juckes said: "I feel that what Pollock had to say during the series in public print was not fair to either of the clubs or to the referees and the job they still had to do and it was not fair to this association." Pollock was quoted as saying that one of the two referees who handled the series was dishonest and Juckes said that it apparently was not a case of Pollock being' misquoted, because the same thing appeared in more than one newspaper. "Pollock's statements had a detrimental affect on the persons appointed to handle this important series," Juckes said. "We Roxburgh, Robert Juckes, Melville, W. Hewitt, in that order left.

TAILORED-TO-MEASURE Milwaukee In those four years, "Edmonton's impressive growth and its future potential is very well known to the baseball world. Annually for the past four years, the major-minor leagues meeting has held secret discussions and meetings on the territory embracing Calgary and Edmonton for such a move as is now approaching a point of reality. "Edmonton's record in the two years of membership in the Western International class A League, is well known in the National Association offices. headed by George Trautman, at Columbus, Ohio. rrautman is lu.iy to how our city carried the Western International League in the 1954 season, due to the deter-: mination of Brant Matthews and Cecil Ross; and the original financial support of 33 other Edmonton businessmen.

"As a result of these two men's efforts, Edmonton enjoys a very respected reputation in the baseball world. "Should Edmonton and Calgary be approached by northwest baseball interests to entertain membership with Seattle, Portland. Vancouver and Spokane, thorough investigation should follow, to assure both towns of solid support from the civic, provincial and business levels of the two cities. Membership should only be entertained on normal commitments. iThe future belongs to the west! Edmonton and Calgary, in such an alignment and classification, do not have to extend any concessions.

"There Is no such thin? as civic duty in sport, but there is I the matter 0t civlc pTe pius tne benefits to a city, that a franchise in an alignment of prestige and status will produce."

In connection with criticism of using two western referees in the series, which CAHA President Jimmy Dunn said he approved, McCaffrey said he thought that the CAHA should return to a policy of having eastern referees handle the series when it is played in the West and vice versa.
