CALGARY, Alta.— It’s a popular opinion in this part of the country that the winner of the Western Canada Senior Hockey League will go a long way in Allan Cup competition again this year. In 1946 Cargary Stam-peders went all the way, in 1947 the same sextet went to the final with Montreal Royals and this year’s champs could easily qualify to represent the west.

Officials To Consider Retirement Of Allan, Memorial Cups To Hall Of Fame
Youthful Veteran REGINA, Sask.— Whether the historic Allan and Memorial Cups will be retired from competition to rest in the International Hockey Hall of Fame at Kingston. Ont., is a matter that will be discussed by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association at its next annual meeting. This was revealed by Al Pickard of Regina, C.A.H.A. president, after he received a letter making that suggestion, written by William Northey of Montreal, a life member of Canada’s governing body of amateur hockey. Mr. Northey advanced the idea because he suggested that under plans now being made by the C.A.H.A. teams competing for the two trophies certainly couldn’t qualify as amateurs under the meaning intended by the donors of the cups.

Bud Poile—the erstwhile Leaf who was traded to Chicago this winter, was the only “outsider” to crash the charmed circle of the First Team.
