Juniors Might Have Finished in GardensOTTAWA (CP) - Jack Roxburgh, president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, said Monday if the Memorial Cup Finals had gone to six or seven games, one or both of them might have been played in Maple Leaf Gardens.He told delegates to theMISTER 'M' HAS THE MASK BACK IN PLACEMister ‘‘M’\ his mask and his reputation slightly the worse for wear, will be back in town Friday night. All he has to do to regain his composure is beat Vern Gagne, which not many wrestlers have done.It wasn’t so long ago that Mister “M” had the mask ripped off in full view of 7,500 screaming patrons at the Arena. But he managed to hide his identity by fleeing from the place and his name is still a matter of conjecture.Some say Big Bill Miller. Some say Don Leo Jonathon. It could even be Red Skelton as far as some people are concerned.“M and Gagne are the mainCAHA’s annual meeting here that the association had reaffirmed its right to say who will televise amateur hockey games in Canada during the Edmon-ton-Hamilton junior finals.Hamilton won the series in five games. * ;The Memorial Cup series, usually played in Maple Leaf Gardens, was run off in Kitchener, Guelph and Hamilton after a tiff with the Gardens management over television coverage.The Gardens insisted that CFTO-TV alone would handle the games. The CAHA wanted the picture piped into Hamilton’s CHCH-TV.Failure to come to an agreement resulted in moving the series out of Toronto for the first time in many years.Without going into details, Roxburgh said at least one official of the Gardens has discussed playing the sixth and seventh games of the series if it lasted that long.In taking the stand it did, the CAHA let arenas know that it, and it alone, controlled television rights of its own games, he said.First Vice - President A. T. Potter of Edmonton said the CAHA showed “it had guts and won’t be pushed around’’ by refusing to bow to the demands of Gardens’ officials.
