TORONTO, March ll —(CI-‘)— President George Punter of the Ontario Hockey Association takes exception to recmnmendations of William Northey of Montreal that the Allan and Memorial Cups be retired to hockey's Hall oi Fame because they no longer represent smsteur competition.

"Not that i am denying there is professionalism, as it is known, in amateur hockey," Punter said in _un interview here today. "but it -would be too, a t-scit admission that there is no amateur hockey. That isn't so,"

Public Approves Action In Hockey Gambling Probe

By WTLFRED GRUSON

TORONTO, March 1B—(UP)-— Principally because the welfare of the game was involved, there deﬁnitely is lust about complete agreement among the public and sports writers that the two prin- cipals in the National Hockey League's gambling probe deserved the punishment handed out by Clarence Campbell.

Nevertheless, many persons cun- not help feel somewhat sympath- etic for Billy Taylor of New York Rangers, expelled for life for bet- ting on a game and associating with a. known gambler and crim- inal. and Don Galllnser of Boston Bruins. suspended indeﬁnitely for associating with the same individ- u

To many it wasmough to see. them go out that way, for the Z8- year-old Taylor was in the twi- light of his career after being a. top-notch star for years and Gal- linger, only 22, had a promising future ahead of him.

Rom what. the evidence reveal- ed and in the light of past exper- ience and the emphasis that the League had placed on its warning that it would not tolerate such conduct, there was no other course Campbell could take besides pun- ishing Taylor and Galilnger the way he did.

Be that as it may, a point that has been taken up iu some quart- ers is whether the League itself is not somewhat to blame to allow such a condition to arise.

In this connection andcpointing out that he was not "wielding any white-wash bru " since Taylor comes from his city, George (Osh- awa Times-Gazette) Campbell wrote; "The game is bigger than any individual and if this is the first move (and it's certainly over- due and greatly needed) to nip out the stigma that comes to a

' game when known individuals of

dubious character are fraternislng with players, then it's a step in the right direction.

"But the boys who have bully- hooed hockey to such money- lnaking heights by arousing the public to intense interest will have to use more action and not merely words to convince that same pub- lic that the genie is above re- proach." ‘
