No general whitewash of professionals was intimated, however. On the other hand there was a strenuous opposition to nek i move, and while several favored a policy of leniency, yet the officials believed that the question was one that required careful and earnest consideration, and while the meeting was strong for consideration of the return of athletics, the representatives declin-: ed to go any further ln(the matter. In this me association acted wisely.

This question of re-Instating former professionals-Is a vital one, and unless handled with wisdom will cause chaos in amateur sport. Now that the amateur variety has such a strong hold on the sport-loving pub- lie, and through the great propaganda work carried on by the Saskat- chewan Hockey association has reached the zenith, a false move on the part of the Saskatchewan branch of the C.A.A.U. would be fatal. There is every reason to believe that the officers and governors of the rejuvenated organisation will review this situation with utmost care, and when anothor meeting is called, Sk one no doubt win be called, will iiav some definite policy to announce with respect to the re-ln-itatement those athletes who are; new anxious to have their amateur standing returned.
