The worst possible record the SOVIETS can leave with is 3-3.1 or .the best at 4.2-1. We think the RUSSIANS will be leaving our country wearing wide grins on their faces mainly because of the way they gained prestige in our national game right in our own backyard. As it turned out, the SELECTS will now be :able to :spell out the good news of holding their own, right in the motherland of hockey even with the teams they played bringing in .extra help from other clubs such as .SUDBURY, NORTH BAY, and KITCHENR diel. To make sure they didn't go out on the limb all you have to do is check the conditions they came over on and the club they sent. The first smartly devised move was making sure that INTERNATIONAL ICE HOCKEY RULES were developed. This sent a hub -bub into six of the seven teases to practise the new style as WHITBY was the only .club currently playing or. these conditions. Sec- ondly, they didn't send their BEST TEAM into the tour because they weren't sure what Bind of compe- tition they would face, With Canada supposedly tops in the hockey world, why send the old pros? Let the younger players make the trip for experience and keep the prestige the BIG team now has with 'its so-called championship to its credit. Now you may ask, if they' did all these things, why would they send a team. in the first place? Well, we feel that the main reason RUSSIA sent a club over here was toget a good look at what Canada has to offer in the way of talent and to let her players gain in experience from playing against them, You can look at motion hockey picturess on the screen:. all day but you'll get more from being on the ice playing the game against first- class teams. Experience is the best teacher, True, RUSSIA has cone a long way in the ice game but not in the REAL game of hockey as we Canadians know it. Their passing is splendid and conditioning magnificent to watch but the way the game is played under their rules, it sounds like a touch rugby game where you don't have to tackle anyone. This Canadian Lour they've been on is just a "farce" to this corner. We have been wondering all along as many others in this di'sittrict have, how in the world the RUSSIANS ever na#iaged to change the rules of the game for their tour. In their country, we play their respective rules with hardly any body - checking so why shouldn't they go with our rule book in this continent particularly if this is sup- posed to be the home of, hockey? We're not sending a flow of tears because the RUSSIANS have mustered a few wins in. their tour, but we certainly Would like to see how they would do under the real hockey rules instead of going, home to brag about the "kitty -by -the -door" brand of hockey they played to win. If the RUSSIAN hockey club did come over here, play under our , rule book and set usback on the seatof our pants with some victories, then I would be the first to sing praises to them and would be able to see how they could be classified as champions, but I definitely can't sae how they can claim any title. the way they're going at it!' * * . •* * * * LOCAL HOCKEY ACTION — ILDERTON WILD- "'" CATS Will make their first appearance of the season on Exeter ice this Friday night which should prove to be a very interesting hockey game. FRANK BUD - DO, business manager, owner, secretary, treasurer: and the main complaint department for the club, will be here with bells on as he says the Wildcats' will be at full strength for this one. Nothing .he would like better than to upset the tribe. With JIM LOADER a doubtful starter, it looks like the tribe 'will really have. some work cut out for them as new faces are reported to be dressing for the Ilderton, club. While watching BLACKWELL go down to a 10.0 defeat in Lucan last week by the Ilderton Seconds (Lucan),so we were informed by BUDDO, who is having ulcer trouble as one of his star players is playing for the IRISH; the Lucan club looked good enough to hold .more than .their own in the league this winter. From the teams we've seen so .far in action, we'll pick CLINTON and LUCAN as the 'best. Although we managed to squeeze out a 4-3 victory in FOREST, experience will be the big down- fall for the LAKESIDES. Nevertheless, • I . wouldn't count thein out.of a playoff berth. FOREST undoubt- edly has built a real contending club and* will de- finitely be ,heard from in the near future if not this year: "•* * * * *• .

The tribe, who trailed 2-1 at the end of the first and 3-2 at the end of the second, was in- spired by Johnston's goal at 6:34 togo on andwin their second victory in as many starts. The winning marker came with just 48' seconds remaining in the game when Bill. Pincombe re- layed a pass to Jim Russell who in turn slipped . a perfect goal - mouth pass onto Bill Oberle's stick for the clincher.
