‘ P. J. Mulqueenb winter Olympic £11m. made up of figure and speed skaters, skiers and hockey players, went on to Garmisoh-Partenkirch- en without several outstanding performers and with slender hopes of bringing back any titles except in hockey. But it may cause a sur- prise or two.

The winter games have yielded hockey honors to Canada every four years, but the skating and skiilng champions have come from other lands without exception and common hopes or breaking through on German ice and snow this time appear no brighter than before.

it W111 be the hockey ream. coached by Albert Pudas of Port Arthur and composed oi players .rom Port Arthur, Toronto. Port Colborne and Montreal. that is ex. pected to make‘ the big showing. Troubles in plenty surrounded the sending overseas of the first ali- Slflf will! to represent. Canada but nobody Mn say a weak outfit left these shores.

Winnipeg's Falcons of i920, Tor- onto Granites of r1924 and Univers- ity of Toronto Grads of 1929 were nnquestl bly greater Olympic squads than this mlxtgre of east- ern and western players, but most; critics in a position to Judge con- ceded thc 1966 team was superior to Winnipeg; of 1932.

The last Olympic team. packing youth and speed and experience, lacked only scoring punch and this need was so acute that it almost cost victory. At Lake Placid the Canadian team defeated United States by a single goal in the first meeting between the rivals and barely eked out a tie in the second flXtllrc. Winning the two-game round by one goal. It was Canada's first close call in Olympic competi-

on,

But with such scoring aces as Hugh Farquharson, Ralph St. Ger- main, Dave Neville and Ken Farm- er of Montreal, and Bill Thompson and Alex Sinclair of Port Arthur, the 1986 squad carries tremendous punch. All three defencemen, Pud Kitchen. Herman Murray and Ray Milton, are also prolific scorers.

Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociation officials, who dismissed four first-rate Halifax players from the team, charging them with de- manding money for their families don't. expect to bump into further worries when they reach Germany. They believe the Canadian team will. defeat any national side in Europe and conquer the United States,

The other side of the picture isn't so bright, although there is always the chance that Toronto's brother and sister act, put on by Montgomery Wilson and Mrs. Con- stance Wilson Samuels, will score in figure skating. There are few better teams or individuals in oom- petition on either side of the At- lantic. _

Mrs. Samuels, Canadian and for- mer North American women's champion, holds a. high ranking. Her brother is less likely to capture a singles title, but he and the ex- perienced Constance form one of the best pairs in the sport. Tbev are reasonably certain of placing high at. Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Two other Canadian pairs, both ‘ Ehnt teams. will be entered. These are Fraser Sweatman and Audrey Garland of Winnipeg and Stewart Rebuno and Louise Bert- ram oi Toronto.

The ski team left early to prac- tiso in the mountainous Bavarian country and officials are hopeful that tho Canadians will make a better showing than ever before at the sport that has been dominated by Europeans.

Goalie Shifts Are Highspots Of Pro Hockey

By ELMEB DULMAGE Canadian Prom Stat! Writer

TORONTO, Jan. 22.-%ome things the National Hockey League has brought out in two months of cam- paignlng:

Mike Karakas, pitched into the opener for Chicago Black Hawks, committed the season's biggest theft right off the bat. He stole Lorne Chabots job. By the time the vet- eran Chabot, Vezina. Trophy winner last. season, was ready for goaling duty, Karakas was an institution.

Two years ago Wilf Cude made a similar play at the expense of John Ross Roach. Detroit Red Wings called on Cude to fill in for the in- jured Roach and Wilf was largely responsible for Detroit winning the N. H. i... title. Now, with Montreal Canadiens, Cude is rated by many as the game's best goalie.

It so happens that hockey's out- standing netmen of last. year aren't around in i936. Alex Connell, hero of Montreal Maroous’ Stanley Cup triumph, couldn't get ofl work to play again and Maroons are fight- ing without him. Chabot hasn't a hockey job-

Syd Howe of Detroit hasn't been the goal-scoring sensation they ex- pected him to be with a strong club. But he's still a swell forward. Cooney Welland, shifted back to Boston from Detroit, went right back among the point-collecting leaders and Marty Barry, who went to Detroit in the same deal, also benefitted by the change.

Leroy Goldsworthy is proving himself a brilliant big leaguer with Canadiens after manyseasons in the minors and, most amazing of all, little Aurel Joliat is just about as great as ever. Howie Morenz is so good with the Black Hawks that he may get all-star mention for the first time in three seasons.

It. hasn't been a terrific year for Charlie Conacher and Harvey Jack- son and the reason is they have been checked harder than ever be- fore. Johnny Gottselig and Paul Thompson of Chicago, who don't play on the same line, have Jumped into the front line with Conacher and Jackson.

The early season's best coaching job was done by Red Dutton of New York Americans, whether or not Americans get into the playoffs. Sylvio Mantha, another player- coach, is going to give Dutton a battle for that third playoff berth in the Canadian section.

The best rookie of the year hasn't yet put his head above the pack, unless its Karakas. Art Jackson of Toronto, Paul Drouin, the Bercier brothers and Joflre Desilets of can- adiens, are some of the good ones.

Toronto's King Clancy 15 Stu] go. RIB-but not as fast as in other seasons. The end isn’t for off for the King. Players are saying that Babe Seibert is as good an all. around defenceman as Eddie shore, The two give Boston the best de- fence in the _league. Ebbie Good- fellow of Detroit, Cy Wentworth of Maroons and Red Homer of Toron- to are as good as either of the Brill-HS. Bcovrding to some opinions.
