A JOB FOR YOU!
JHERE’s a job for every Pacific Reader for the next several weeks—the job

of putting our annual financial drive for $15,000 and 500 subscriptions
over the top. ‘

Some 34 supporters have now become Press Builders, with $25 turned
in. We want this figure to reach 300 before May Day. Since last week 14 have
joined the Press Builder list: Ruby Bitz (Broadway), J. P. (Broadway), Betty
Gadd (Broadway). M. M. (Mt. Pleasant), J. F. (Olgin), J. C. (Victory
Square), Pete Zagar (Waterfront), Harold Pritchett (North Burnaby), Alex
Kucher (South Burnaby), Bruce Johnson (South Burnaby), F. O. Theiss
(Mission), and H. J., J. C. and J. P. (Powell River).

Another press club challenge: Broadway challenges Grandview and
Hastings East to see which club reaches its $500 target first, and which goes
over the top by the greatest percentage.

We ask all our readers and supporters: Have YOU made YOUR
contribution yet? ‘

S EXPECED,
between Canada and the

the game
Soviet Union decided the
world hockey. title for another
year. Completely unexpected
was Czechoslovakia’s last-
day victory over the Ca-
nucks, which made our vic-
tory a skinny one, indeed. -

In games won and lost, Can-
ada and Russia tied. But when
goals for and against were
tallied the Belleville MacFar-
lands had a decisive edge.

Probably «the boys weren’t
“up” for their final tilt, but
no credit should be taken
from the Czechs who domi-
nated the play throughout.

An interested spectator at
the Canada - Russian game
was Maurice Richard, whe
praised both teams, then add-
ed than any NHL team
would have a five-goal edge.
True.

Playing coach Ike Hilde-
brand of the Macs was more
than fair in his appraisal of
the Russians.

“Tf we played a string of
10 games with them, they’d

- win about 40 percent,” he

said. “It was a real close
game.”

Roman Kiselev, an official of
the Soviet sports committee,
was equally gracious.

“The best team won,” he
said. “There is. no denying
that the Canadians deserved
the victory. We did not play
well, especially in the first
period. I congratulate Can-
ada on this fine team.”

Quite a contrast to the bad

feelings generated when Pen-
ticton Vees copped the cup
but earned the scorn of all
foreign teams by their loud-

mouthed boasting and ‘bad
manners.
In this tournament, too,

there was some resentment
shown against Canada, par-
ticularly. when our lads forgot
European rules and dished
out héavy bodychecks beyond
the defense zone.

Those fans who feel that
bodychecking should be ban-
ned altogether are barking up
the. wrong tree, however.
Hockey is a Canadian game,
and bodychecking has been
an integral and accepted part
of the sport since its inception.
Let the Europeans learn from
us (as the Czechs and Rus-
Sians are doing) rather than
change the rules to suit folks
overseas.
