The reason—members of the Que- bec 4ity pee wee team billeted in Godiich homes and few of whom spoke anything but French. There were also French speaking. players on other teams "from Northern and Eastern Ontario. Results? Goderich people in homes where ,the French-speaking players' were billeted were . strugglir g hard with their knowledge of French from tiigh school or university days in an effort to make it work again. Some, of the -efforts 'were rather amusing and if the young Frei h- '6'ana.dian .players smiled, at some of the efforts, they can be excused. t omprenez? From what we saw personally of the Quebec City' players—and we had two of them billeted at our home—we gained the idea that a lot of imagined friction between French-speaking Quebec and Eng- lish-speaking Ontario could be con- siderably reduced by such visits.” These young players went back home with a warm feeling from -the hospitality shown to,them in Gode- rich.

Toni -di' Little Friends Favorites Of Fans, While Honest Ed's team won the grand championship, the never - say -die lads from Sour Springs won .the hearts of the' .Young Ganada Week fans. In the opinion of many, "Tonto's .little friends"from the Six Nations Reserve were the biggest drawing„ card of the 10th annual pee wee hockey tournament. These boys,. whb have ,no' home rink of their„ own and sometimes have to practice on frozen ponds, captured the "D" series title in one of the most exciting games in Young Canada Week history. 'Then they went on to knock. oft!' the "C” series winners in another tension -filled contest before they were overpowered by Honest Ed's, the "AA” series winners, in the grand championship game Satur- day night. Principal Is Coach The war -dancing Sour Springs youngsters, smartly outfitted in red uniforms trimmed with white, were again coached by Oliver Smith. Ile is principal of a three-room school at Sour Springs, about eight •miles from Brantford. The gallant little team won— and deserved—the admiration and al] out s,irpport of hundreds of fans who wouldn't have missed their games for the world, Lionel Mahood's recognition of the terrific performance of the Sotir Springs boys 'was more tang- ible ,than most. The proprietor of the Esquire Grill treated the whole team to free turkey dinners on Saturday afternoon, between games.. Before leaving the restaurant, each hoy sought nut Mr. Mahood to shake his hand and thank him. Mr. Mahood remarked later that 'he had fed hockey teams on n,um- (rnus occasions before but had never seen a•, more. mannerly ,team than these you'ngsvers from down Brantford way. - Coach Smith,a sincere, unassum- ing man, was deeply appreciative of the treatmerut accorded his team during the tournament. - "1 would like to thank all the eapl`e. of Goderich DV everything," '.;t ld.

This was the Sour Springs boys' second appearance in the Young Canada 'Week tourney, and also their second year in organized hockey. Next Year The coach figures that about eight members of this year's team will still be eligible to play pee wee hockey nest year. Hut he will lose j2 -year-old Brian Martin, the red-headed captain of the braves. It .was he who fired the winning goal in the "D" series title game against' Ayr and in the play-off game against Point• Ed- ward, the "C" champions. Brian has several nicknames in- cluding "Bud" .and "Red," which is the most obvious one. Ile and Lorne General, the little goalie of the Sour 'Springs Pee Woes, recovered from a bout with the 'flu in tinie to star in the tournament here. Steve Srtrith, the coach's own son, was sidelined by sickness' and was not with the team when it won the "D" title. Two of the team's most enthusi- astic suporters are the coach's wife and daughter, Dianne.
