Speaking over the long-distance telephone from Garmisch last night Carl Erhardt, captain and 28-year-old "veteran" of the British team, told the the great News Chronicle about one triumph:

I asked Carl Erhardt about the reported incidents of rough play dur ing the match.

"Nonsense,"

answered. "The game was no rougher than many other ice-hockey games. Of course! We had not we were all keyed up. lost a match, and did not want to, but all this talk about free fights on the leg is quite untrue. It was Just a hard fought-out game.

"The younger members of the team were a bit on edge possibly, but it affected their play, not their tempers." I next asked Erhardt whether, as was reported, he had been penalised. "Good heavens, no!" he replied. "During the whole of these games have never been penalised. In last night's game there were very few penalties."
