No member of the Arana Commission was present. Philpott apparently could not answer questions as to why the Arena Commission had not called for bids the club. One question put to hiih asked why the Booster Club had not been asked for a bid.

That's when sports celebrities from many parts of Canada and the United States will meet to honor W. A. (Billy) Hewitt who is beginning his 50th year as secretary of the Ontario Hockey Association.

IV VARIOUS SPORTS However, the guest list at the banquet won't be limited to hockey. Football, horse racing, track and field and rowing will be represented too. Billy Hewitt has been mixed up in them all. The father of Foster Hewitt. Canadian radio's premier hockey broadcaster, he was appointed to the O.H.A.

post in December of 1903. Since then he has received 49 acclamations. Keenly interested in football, he played a large part in the formation of the Interprov i i a 1 Rugby Union in 1912 and was the opportunity to buy the Sailors. Later in the meeting the club reaffirmed their faith in Davis, all members agreeing that Davis had organized the Booster Club in good faith and had not violated his integrity in purchasing the team. Future of the Booster Club Is apparently still in doubt, however, and it will be considered durinff the coming: week in the light of the facts given by Phil-pott.

The Arena manager said that the commission in managing the team could hardly be charged with being "a The commission had paid the players a minimum of $20 a game or $60 a week Act Today!

This "slap-happy" approach had only resulted in the purchase of players who did not come back the following year after taking high wages for poor hockey. INJUSTICE TO DOUGLAS He said the manager, Les Douglas, had been brought to Sarnia by the commission under false pretences. Douglas had been led to believe that certain players would be on the team when actually they had jumped their contracts and were playing in the United States. Turning to finances, he said junior hockey in Sarnia last year had earned $3,000 less than it had cost.

This deficit was relieved by proceeds from bingo and public skating. There is still $8,000 to be paid off on the mortgage and Philpott urged that this money be applied instead to more seating in the Arena. When it was suggested that failure to pay off the mortgage would violate an agreement with the city and thus render the Arena Commission liable for $11,000 in taxes, Philpott appeared unwor-ried. The city will have to take over the Arena when the mortgage is paid anyway, he said. When management of the Arena had been offered to the city three or four years ago it had been turned down.

Tigers Loan Pair To Niagara Falls HAMILTON, (CP) Hamilton Tigers of the Ontario Hockey Association Senior League announced the loan of two players to Niagara Falls Cataracts, a league rival. Forward Bill Hartsburg and De-fenceman Pete Pidsodny will join the Cataracts for the rest of this season. Forward Ron Rohmer said he would seek his release from the Tigers to play for Simcoe in the O.H.A. Senior League.

Notre Dame rates a better-t a n-three-touchdown favorite over the Middies who until they were upset by Penn last week, were regarded as about the strongest team in the east. Maryland, the class of the south and No. 2 in the weekly Associated Press poll, has a breeze in South Carolina as it races toward the championship of the new Atlantic Coast Conference and a place in the Orange Bowl. Baylor, which is stepping cautiously in its quest for the Southwest Conference title, plays Texas Christian in a loop game. The conference race si just getting hot.

and the Horned Frogs will be faced with the task that so far has eluded Baylor's opponents stopping its classy backs. West Virginia, ranked fifth behind Illinois, is in a peculiar position. This club holds the longest current winning streak of major teams 11 but its opposition has been on the weak side. The Mountaineers play Penn State tomorrow, and if they win, their place in the top 10 will be solidified. The skeptics will have been convinced.

Penn, the Ivy League club with the suicidal schedule, tackles Michigan at Ann Arbor, and it would be too much to ask George Munger's lads to spring two upsets in a row. Their 9-6 triumph over Navy must have taken plenty out of them. The new favorite for the Big 10 title, Illinois, also gets a stiff test in Purdue, the outfit that pulled the shocker of the season by handing Michigan State its first defeat in 29 games last Sunday. On paper, the mini should win it, but Purdue, loser of its first four games before whipping State, is "up" and prowling for more Go-liaths to stone. ICE SKATING Tonight Saturday p.m.
