$500, 900 VIII Be Returned to Canada Under ar
Unique Salary=Budget System as Hockey Stars
on u. S. Teams Do War Service While They Play
BY HARRY GRAYSON
EEA Service Sports Editor

Fear that the war would hit
hockey too hard for its good health
waS allayed with the opening shots.
Tommy German having to dig a
"Standing Room Only" sign out of
the basement of the Montreal
Forum for the first time in many
campaigns was something in the
way Of evidence that everything is
going to be quite all right. The
Cansdieng, with a new deal setup,
made their bow in a IL overtime
tie with the Boston Bruins before
11,730 paying guests e. the biggest
gathering for a professional game
in Montreal in half dozen seasons.
Early returns in American strong
holds were equally encouraging.
Through an unique salary budget
ing system, it is conservatively esti-
mated that $500,000 in United States
currency will be returned to Canada
next spring by Canadians perform
ing in the National League and
drawing wages from clubs on this
side Of the border.
Instituted by the league, and
meeting with the whole hearted ap-
proval of Canada's foreign ex-
change board and the powers in
Ottawa, the budget calls for pay
ment of $25 weekly to single men
and $50 weekly to married men.
That is all they get in American
money.
The balance is kept in trust by
the league, to be transferred to the
accounts of players who are legal
residents of the Dominion, as most
of them are.
Salary balances in American
funds carry a premium of 10 per
cent. So the players will eventually
get the rest of their pay, in Cana
dian dollars, while the Canadian
government will get the U. S. dollar
balances.
Players who are not residents of
the United States had to complete
military training in Canada'S nom
permanent militia before being
eligibel for contracts for the 1904
season. Athletes thus enliste dhad to
obtain leaves from their non-per-
manent units for the winter. AL had
two weeks in military camps in Sep
TENDER as required under the VOL
unttary, permanent militia
system.
AL resume twice-week drill
periods
Meanwhile, the stars of hockey do
war service while they play.

though they have not as yet re-

Rose Bowl game on New Years day,
Stanford's undefeated, united foot
ball team would like to play Cor

A poll of Stanford's footballers
indicated how the team was divided
in preference.
1.-THE Aggies look like the best bet
as a Rose Bowl opponent to me"
said Frank Albert, Stanford quar-
terback. \"Of course, the Cornell
Dartmouth result disappointed me
a little."-
Albert said that he'd like to see
his team, winner of eight consecutive
games, stack up against Earring John
Kimbrough, Texas A. &. M. back and
his undefeated teammates. Other
Stanford men would like to pit their
line plunging ace, Norm Standlee
