TORONTO (CP)—A big stick can be just as effective as the soft-sell, says Lloyd Pollock, unflappable vice-president of theCanadian Amateur Hockey As- | soeiation.Pollock, 56, of Windsor, Ont. has been using generous doses of both to keep the peace during the current battle for the Memorial Cup between Ednion- i ton Oil Kings and Oshawa Gen- j erals.The teams are tied 2-2 in the best-of-seven series for the national junior title with the fifth game set for Sunday at 7 p.m.I CDT.Edmonton squared the series with a 5-3 victory Wednesday night, in a game devoid of the chippy play that had characterized the series. j“They’ve finally settled down to plav hockey,” said Pollock Thursday. “For a while 1 thought we'd have to settle for j p e t ty arguments instead of ! hockey.”Pollock has dealt firmly in rejecting protests by Wren 1 Blair of Oshawa and Bill Hunter of Edmonton, respective managers of the two teams.Blair lodged a protest before the first game claiming Edmonton had picked up three ineligible players. “Wren's a fine ! fellow but he doesn’t know the regulations,” Pollock ruled, j Blair followed up by announcing he would take his protests j to the CAHA annual meeting | later this month.When the fiery Hunter announced after his team’s 7-1 loss to Oshawa in the second game that he would use standby goalie Don Caley, Pollock was unimpressed. “Caley can’t play, i He’s not eligible. Hunter doesn't i know the rules.” iIt was only then that Oil Kings learned they had brought Caley, a pickup from Estevan, here for nothing. “It was one heck of a blow,” said Hunter.Pollock stood behind his referee frank Daigneault when Hunter twice demanded he be replaced for being too lenient.To help take pressure off Daigneault, Pollock assigned two new linesmen for the third game. !Both Memorial Cup teams spent Thursday in Oshawa for a civic reception and a tour of an automobile plant, the town’s major industry.
