...team, jeer at the referee and greet home-team blunders with showers of eggs and cries of "Ya jerk, ya"-a provincialism once reserved for the bumbling baseball players who inhabited Brooklyn's Ebbets Field. Last week, when the New Yorkers blew a 2-1 lead to the Toronto Maple Leafs, a sullen crowd clustered outside the Ranger dressing room to taunt their tarnished heroes. "Aw, go back to Montreal!" one fan yelled at Player-Coach Doug Harvey. "Whatsamatter, Gump, no guts?" somebody asked Goalie Lome Worsley, who answered with a brisk curse.

The highlight of his talk was a bit of Canadian-American history: "In the War of 1812, the Scotch- Canadian soldiers marched down to Washington with their kilts, skirts, and other implements of war. They ate lunch at the President's Restaurant, and then, burnt it down. It was rebuilt and painted white, so Canada deserves credit for the White House...
