Tim On tarlo contingent came in Monday afternoon along with the Granites. They are: President W. A. Fry and Trensuier Sheriff J. F. Paxton, representing the OH.A., Dick Weaver of Toronto, representing the Intercollegiate Union and W. A. Hewitt, secretary of the OH.A., but at this meeting in the capacity of registrar of the C.A.H.A. P. J. Mulqueen, of Toronto, also came along; he i»chairman of the Canadian Olympic-committee which will meet here on i Wednesday to discuss Olympic mat- | ters in general, but mostly to g*‘t a line on the sending over next year to Franco of a hockey team,Much of importance is slated for g the hockey meeting and it promlfe*ian to bo n iively session. Rill Fry Uj sayo ho is going to bring up a sug v gestion to eliminate body checking* j ( He merely Wants to start a discus- ■'* slon because be feels there is too | ^wide an opinion n« to just what is and what isn't legal cheeking. Somo good may come out of the -discus-: ion.The OH A. will suggest that th • { Allan Cup holders of this year be the j , team selected to go to the Olympic games. If that suggestion is not. |..n agreeable they feel that. Canada foi should not bo represented It does j look CH if the O.H.A. suggest ion r*- Re Allan Cup winners goin govcr ill receive general support. * JfoMay Control Allan CupFrom what can be learned though n little has leaked out the matter of th** , ( Allan Cup trustees handing over tlir* l?lt; cttp and the care of all finances may !lt; reach a lend at this meeting F*-r c nome time the provincial bodies have 1 lb felt that the c.A.M.A. is not strong u enough to have full control and that * •’the trustees must see that the atnalf;caaca.oathI Ihi IIIgamation must come rather than having two separate 1 todies working on the games. In fact, at tin* semi annual meeting of the c A ll A last fall there was a committee appointed to | ~'f see \v. r; Nort^hey, one of the trus- ti. tees, on tfhs mutter. But Mr. Nor J r, they was injured and nothing wasdone, Mr Northcy has cxpre ssed no jf(•pinion but will do so. of course, at n this meeting Ontario Is In favor of lot the C.A.HA taking control and so j n are most o the other proVlives. j 11:May Change Rules iOne matter that is going to ran p lot of talk is the suggestion from 1 Saskatchewan that the Intercollegiate I’n.ohs in the various p ovinces be eliminated from Allan Cup com- | petition and be forced to pla\ in. pro ' vincial Or city leagues in order to j 1 quality. Thin would mean that th* u winner of the. eastern Intercollegiate could not qualify but Varsity could through the O.H.A.. McGill from the Montreal City league, etc. It is a j ,j matter that has not been heard of ; much in the east and will come rntli- j (\ or as a surprise. Rut Manitoba is p solid i favor of the move s.» it looks j| like a struggle. lt;mtario Is likely to N oppose it tSaskatchewan have some rather .V peculiar proposals. One is that the ( professional and amateur bodies get f together and have on** set of rules to 1 c govern all brands of hotkey. An- _ other Is that the professionals be iasked not to sign a player until he has attained the age of 2t. Than they would permit juniors to com pete in two senior guinea withmit losing their junior standing. They too want the finances of the Allan Cup games taken out of tin* hands of the trustees. Rather a laughable suggestion is that instead of provincial champions playing off for the Allan i'up they would have all- tar teams selected to compete.There are bound to be somo other suggestions brought up, but evt 11 it not the few named above should keep the delegates busy forta long fiin*-.The Olympic committee meetingwill be on Thursday and they, of course, are interested 1 rw what thr C AHA will do In regard to sending a team to »he Olympic game.®. Other matters of general interest will also be discussed.n(14)
