THE FAN FORUM

THE HARVEYS Dear Sir, Could you please tell me if Alfred Harvey who plays with a Montreal team is a brother of Doug of the Canadiens and Howie of Toronto Marlboros? Beth McCaig Montreal, Que. (Alf is an older brother of Doug and Howie.) Dear Sir, Could you please tell me how I could obtain pictures of the American and United States League teams?

This was reveiled here by George Dudley, secretary-treasurer of the C A.H.A., who said the British Ice Hockey Association had rejected Royals because the club was too strong and would show up weaker British teams, thus causing hockey in Britain to suffer. Negotiations are now under way to have a Canadian team of intermediate calibre make a British tour instead. The C.A. H.A. has sanctioned the tour to get underway the second week of April, with the team to be away from five to six weeks. Max Silverman of Sudbury, Ont., and Dinty Moore of Port Colborne, Ont., have been…
