Canadian Press Stafl‘ Writer TORONTO. Dec. 2-— (CP) —In whimsical mood the other night, Dick Irvin cooked up a sclicmc, purely imaginary, for paying his players on the merit system. Dicks idea. as outlined to Elmer (Mon:- real Herald) Ferguson. is approxi- mately to wit: Sign each man to u. $1 contract, then set a maximum rate of $100 (for each of the 50 scheduled‘ gamesl-making a max- hnum salary of $5,001. ’I'hen, ac- cording to the kind of game he played, each man wuold get $100. 890. $60 and so on down the scale. Thlnkin sadly of the 2-0 defeat ‘his Montreal Canadiens by Toronto last Saturday. Dick aver- red licateclly lucre were a couple

a cent. In fact. they should have paid Irvin s25 each "to soothe my harried nerves."
