Sportster Decries Our Rough Juniors
REGINA, SASK.— "One of the major problems in hockey today is the rough play dished out by these lads,” says Dave Dryburgh in the Regina Leader-Post, “and no matter what the solution is you are going to have an argument from somebody.” The Western sportswriter points out that some feel the referees should be more strict with the juniors when administering penalties instead of pussyfooting around with two minute banishments. On the other hand others feel that the coaches could do a lot more ''towards toning the boys down. Western teams of late have travelled east wearing their best Sunday school composure, to find that the Eastern lads play it a la N.H.L.

Crescents’ Stock Takes Jump With Marty Barry As Skipper
While the Truro Bear Cats and the Moncton Hawks staged a two-team battle for leadership in the Maritime Big Four Hockey League, Halifax Crescents set about the task of mending their fences after a great start had gone sour. Playing coach Billy Hannon found the dual role too much for his aging legs, his play faltered is the team zoomed to the foot of the league standings and the veteran National Hockey League star of other years, Marty Barry, came into the breach. Barry will have his hands full, because he’s still full-time coach with the junior St. Mary’s, but it’s like a shot in the arm to the rabid hockey fans in these parts.
