This means that Coach Ramsey, a member of the Canadian Olympic hockey team last year, has a eleven team to send against the Crimson and one that succumbed last year only after two hard fought games.

It has proved its ability to weather terrific financial storms, but not to sail on smooth water. Furthermore, although Reserve Bank vaults bulge with billions of gold, the institutions are finding it somewhat difficult to pay overhead expenses, owing to the relatively small discounts by member banks...
