Defferary I puts most of the blame on Britain's 33'2-per-cent entertainment tax, which hit Streatham , as hard as any team. The club j reports a 20-per-cent dip In at- tendance this year at its 3.000-I canacity rink, although credited i with the most enthusiastic fol-j lowers in the league and a ' strong team. j "English hockey." says Def-1 ferary, "can cut salaries next ' year or replace some Canadians with English players." Either way, the league, best in Britain and rated good senior B bv Canadian standards, probably won't duplicate the type of play supplied last winter by the 12 Canadian and two English players on each club. English players of quality aren't plentiful, and Canadian players willing to play in this country for reduced wages might not be as good as they are now. Hockey's hopes of tax relief were banished by the new British budget, which confined assistance to bona fide amateur sports and cricket. Accordingly, hockey's heads will lay a new plea before treariry boss R. A. J Butler. j wsmm . 4' 1 ANOTHER LOAD OF CONCRETE Is poured into wooden forms for Winnipeg's $500,000 stadium.
