Thoughts Oi Retirement Far From Stanley's Mind

By BILL MacDOUGALL an Press Staff Writer

Allan Stanley is pushing what“: considered old age for a hockey player and doesn't like to ‘rc rem! of it.

The wa he’s been playing rarely. it would be easy to for- get it.

“Lay off that 'old' stuff." the Toronto Maple Leaf defenceman acid to a reporter as Leafs were awaiting the start of their Stanley Cup final against De. iroit Red Wings. They had elim- inated Montreal Canadians four games to one. and when they beat Detroit 4-2 in the first game of the finals last Tuesday Stan- ley contributed two assists,

“1 get tired of reading that ‘old’ stuf ." said Stanley. who

when Leafs either retire his No. 26 or put It In storage.

“I don’t give a darn abou ages when they play like that." said Leaf manager-coach Punch Imlach.

Stanley's record during the

NHL schedule. four goals and 15 assists. was one of the poorer ones of his career but it doesn't show the way he’s been skating like a 21-year-old and breaking up opposition plays with the best

of them. In the semi - final against Montreal he scored one goal and had two assists to rank fifth among Leaf point-setters.

L‘sr a while early in the season there was talk of the Timmins. 0nt.. native's legs givhrg out rookie Kent Douglas was tabbed by many as a certain replacement. The energy Stanley has exhibited late in the season and in the playoffs has the gloom-mongers eating their words.

Imlach doesn't find anything unusual about the way Stanley helped the Leafs keep Cana- dians off balance in Toronto‘s in the best-of-seven

The amiable Stanley shrugged off questions of why he was skating and checking like a

young man.

Then he offered this explana- tion of how playoff hockey arf- fects him and other players.

won more badminton trophies over the past years than all oth- er players combined and is con- sidered the man to beat for the championship again this year.

CONTEST AT LATER DATE 1

Al the m o m e n t the annuall trout fishing contest. that h a 3‘ been held for yea rs on April 16th. has a less than an even break of materializing this com-l ing sixteenth. There Is a distinctl possibility this contest may e: postponed until Saturday mor-, ning. May 25th

It is this columvnist's opinion,‘ and has been for some years. that May 25th would result ing treble the number of exhibitorsi plus a better quality and more‘ eye pleasing exhibit of trout. Al lot of trout fishermen have sug-l gested that the contest date be set at May 25th instead of Aprill lfiih. l I am not referring to this yearl but such thoughts have been ex- pressed since the coniest wa s brought into being by the late. Arthur W. Gaudet. It requires no great imagination to visualize, troutlng conditions this comingi a.m. of April 15th. If a trout fisherman’s blood is as thick as‘ molasses. and re-inforced at in-r tervals with shots of ‘liquidl fire'. he could imagine th at‘: Florida weather prevailed.

On September 29th I visited. this dam site and reported my findings to wit: “That no dam} existed. The water was not flow-_ ing through the bypaSS but‘ through a hole in the center or the enbankment". I also inform‘ ed the Deputy Minister that it. was a slap- happy job from be- ginning to end.
