REGINA, SASK.&mdash;To win hockey honors and titles is one thing but to have the fans on your side is another and it will be a long time before the Moose Jaw junior Canucks ever win a popularity contest in the Saskatchewan junior circles.One Regina writer thinks that the Canucks&rsquo; favorite sport is swiping players from other teams. But Moose Jaw has produced many good junior aggregations in the past and Ken Doraty has piloted the Canucks into the Memorial Cup finals twice in the past three seasons.That record, plus the chance of a repeat performance, is just about enough to lure many good young hockey players of junior age to Doraty&rsquo;s puck team. Five members of last year&rsquo;s team are now in professional ranks and Scouts have been a dime a dozen in the Canucks&rsquo; training site so far this year.<h2>Writer Strikes Back</h2>However there are many who lean towards the Moose Jaw tactics of obtaining players and one well known hockey writer who waves the Canuck flag is Murray Brown of the Moose Jaw Times Herald. Says Brown &ldquo;The charges have been hurled repeatedly at the Moose Jaw club in recent months that it is attempting to snatch all the province&rsquo;s rural junior material that it can lay its hands on.&ldquo;If that&rsquo;s the case, then the other teams have no one to blame but themselves. Had they been on their toes and gone for the fall training idea like the Canucks did three or four years ago, they would be in a more favorable position as far as players are concerned.&rdquo;The writer recalls the time-not long past when there was a shortage of junior players on the market and the Moose Jaw club was short of cash. That left the club only one opening and they began scouting rural areas for much-needed player material.After they had brought in an odd junior player from here and there the club thought it would be cheaper and also a time-saver if they conducted a school and sent out invitations to the youngsters. The system paid off for the Canucks.Brown continues, &ldquo;Canucks have little to chance at these schools. True, they may pick up only one or two kids each year, but the names of players the club thinks will develop are filed away and they are invited to attend the school the following year for another trial.&ldquo;It is by holding these schools that Canucks have been able to develop powerful junior clubs in recent years. In other words, the writer claims, &ldquo;they have reached their present high position among the nation&rsquo;s junior clubs because they decided to give the country kids a break.&rdquo; &#9632;

Happy Birthday to You

NEW HAVEN, CONN.&mdash;Lynn Patrick&rsquo;s Pee Wee hockey class has already caught on in a big way in New Haven. For Patrick this has been an encouraging sign, particularly after he had to listen to the skeptics who told him that nobody would show up to play hockey at 6:30 on Saturday mornings.To date, there have been around 75 youngsters out every week to get some first class instruction in the fundamentals of hockey. All of the youths are under the age of 14 and their enthusiasm knows no bounds.&ldquo;Unfortunately,&rdquo; says Patrick, &ldquo;we are going to have to keep the squad down to an even 50 boys so that we can form a workable league of four teams.&rdquo;Lynn is keeping the present bunch on so that he can at least give the extra 25 players a chance to skate and pick up a few rudimentary pointers. The youngest candidate for the class is 11 years of age and he looks like a real comer, according to Patrick.<h2>EQUIPMENT NO PROBLEM</h2>Many of the hopefuls bring their own equipment, but the Madison Square Garden Corporation has provided for those that are unable to afford their own sticks and pads.The idea for the class had been circulating through Patrick&rsquo;s mind for quite some time before he finally decided to do something about it this winter. Lynn is convinced that he can turn out an American - born, professional hockey player from New Haven. In order to do this he feels that he has to start the boys out young. Patrick, himself, of course, became a major league star after only one year of serious hockey playing.Patrick&rsquo;s &ldquo;kids&rdquo; will be broken up into the four teams in another couple of weeks and then there will be a regular schedule of league games for the remainder of the winter.Prizes have been offered for the players who show the most improvement over the course of the year, with the big award being a new pair of Canadian skates. &#9632;

THIRTY YEARS IN THE N.H.L.

<div class="image-hero"><img title="Cover-02" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/cover-024/867614-1-eng-US/cover-022.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">League&rsquo;s FatherFRANK CALDER</figcaption></div>Frank Calder may well be termed the man who died for hockey, the man who gave his life for the game he loved, with an amazing fervor. He never played hockey himself and, as a boy, never saw a hockey game, but established his first contact with the sport in the capacity of a sports writer.The late Frank Calder was secretary of the National Hockey Association for several years before that organization was disbanded. The National Hockey League, its successor, was formed 30 years ago this month and Mr. Calder was elected President, a post he held until his death. He had safely steered the league through the last stages of World War I, and was seeing the N.H.L. through the difficult days of another world struggle when he died in harness, February 4, 1943.Death came to Frank Calder with his portfolio spread on his bed, ready to transact the business of the League. He gave his life for hockey and the League, quite literally. He had fathered the organization when it was in its infancy, nursed it through many trying times, and lived long enough to see it become one of the greatest international sports bodies.He had always enjoyed perfect health until that season of 1942-43, as war&rsquo;s demands grew heavier and the future of the league was shrouded in uncertainty. Professional hockey was tested as it never had been before, and the possibility even arose that the league might have to suspend operations for the duration, in the nation&rsquo;s all-out struggle.Frank Calder toiled night and day to solve the problem, to ensure continuation of the great winter sport, so long as it did not interfere with the nation&rsquo;s war effort. The strain was too great, and as the winter wore on the lines of care deepened in his face. At a League meeting in Toronto, he collapsed, and the end came quickly.His presidency of the National Hockey League had been virtually a one-man affair. He had two secretaries, but not a single item of business could be transacted without his seal of approval. Most of the important letters dealing with League business were written personally by Frank Calder.Only 65 years of age when he died, Frank Calder belied his years. His hair had not greyed, and he kept himself in top condition by playing handball in the winter and golf in the summer. Born in England, he came to Canada as a school teacher, turned to sports writing in 1909, and at once became intrigued with the strange, to him, game of hockey.Frank Calder saw the National Hockey League grow from a struggling foundling, operating in natural-ice arenas except for the one sheet of artificial ice at Toronto, and helped built it to its present eminence. To his discretion was left much of the decision as to which of the many applicants should be admitted to the League when it began to expand. That he chose wisely is shown by the present solidity of the oldest professional league. &#9632;

Late Frank Calder Saw League Grow As Great International Sport Body

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div>The greatest international organization in the world, the National Hockey League, celebrated its 30th anniversary on Saturday, November 22. It was on that date in 1917 that the foremost hockey leaders of that period gathered in Montreal to form a professional hockey league which in three decades has progressed to almost unbelievable heights.The prosperous, influental National Hockey League that we know today with its modern, luxurious rinks and artificial ice plants bears faint resemblance to the unpretentious four-team circuit that operated during the 1917-18 season in which only one of the four clubs boasted artificial ice.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/cover-032/867645-1-eng-US/cover-032.jpg" title="Cover-03" width="592" height="875"><figcaption class="caption-body">Second PrexyRED DUTTON</figcaption></div>Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa and Toronto Arenas were the original four clubs that played in the N.H.L. in its initial season. Quebec held a franchise in the league but did not operate during the first year. However, when the Westmount Arena, home of the Wanderers burned down in January of 1918 and the Wanderers were forced to drop out of the loop, Quebec came into this newly-formed sports body in 1919.It was in 1924 that the National Hockey League first went international in scope when the late Charles F. Adams, one of America&rsquo;s greatest sportsman, and Arthur H. Ross secured a franchise for Boston. Hockey soon caught the fancy of the Bostonians and it wasn&rsquo;t long before the city became one of the greatest hockey centres in the world.New York Americans became the second United States club to join the up and coming pro loop. Americans bought the Hamilton Tigers franchise in 1925 and iced a team in the 1925-26 season.As an illustration of the growth of this new sports organization it should be pointed out that Tigers bought the defunct Quebec franchise in 1920 for $5,000, and five years later sold their franchise to the Americans for $75,000.The 1925-26 season also saw the third American club enter the league, the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pittsburgh&rsquo;s franchise was transferred to Philadelphia in 1930, where a team known as the Philadelphia Quakers operated for one season.<h2>BIGGEST SEASON</h2>The biggest single season in the expansion of the National League was 1926-27 when a second New York team, the Rangers; Chicago Black Hawks and Detroit Cougars acquired franchises. Detroit changed the nickname of their team to the Falcons in 1930 and when James Norris bought the team in 1933 he changed the name to Red Wings.A second Montreal entry, known as the Maroons, came into the the league in 1924 and remained a colorful member of the circuit until they disbanded at the close of the 1937-38 season. The biggest years in number of teams were from 1926 until 1931 when 10 teams held berths. There were two sections, Canadian and American. The Canadian Division had Toron-to Maple Leafs (known formerly as the Arenas and St. Pats), Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Maroons, Ottawa Senators and New York Americans. In the American Division were Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Black Hawks and Pittsburgh Pirates.Four of these clubs found the going a little tough in the succeeding years however, and rather than have the calibre of play inferior to what was intended for supplying the ever-growing hockey public, the league has cut down in quantity of teams but improved in quality.Today there are six, strong, well-balanced teams vieing for league honors. There isn&rsquo;t a weak sister in the circuit and everyone of the six teams is a threat every time they skate out on the ice.Attendance at National Hockey League games has grown tremendously during the past few years.Last season a total of 2,403,110 fans paid their way into the six N.H.L. rinks at New York, Chicago, Boston, Toronto, Detroit and Montreal. The teams played before 9 9.6 per cent of the rated seating capacity in 1946-47. In Chicago on February 23 a new record was set for attendance at a single game when 20,004 turned out to see Black Hawks perform.The SRO sign was put up at nearly every single game played during the 1946-47 season as the rabid band of hockey enthusiasts throughout the two great sports-loving countries failed to have their appetites for the exhilarating ice sport satisfied.In his first season at the helm of the league President Clarence S. Campbell did a masterful job and was responsible for many new innovations making their appearance in 1946-47.A system of signals for officials; neutral linesmen; players bonuses, and playoff guarantees were some of the progressive steps made during Campbell&rsquo;s first year in the presidential chair.Campbell, who is the third president in the history of the league succeeded two very outstanding hockey executives. Frank Calder, who was president of the organization since its Inception in 1917 until his death in February, 1943, guided the circuit throughout some of its most perilous days and fathered it along from a puny infancy to a vigorous manhood.He played a major role in the advancement of hockey from its humble beginnings to its esteemed position in the sports world today.Succeeding Calder as president was that lovable redhead, colorful Mervyn "Red" Dutton, who took over the president&rsquo;s mantle under most trying circumstances.The world was at war and the National Hockey League was doing its utmost to continue operations while at the same time not interfere in the slightest degree with the military obligations of its players.(Dutton, a hero of the first World War, and who lost two fine sons in the second conflict, did an excellent job in running the N.H.L. under conditions which would have forced an executive of a lesser degree to toss in the towel.When Dutton&rsquo;s numerous business enterprises in Western Canada forced him to retire as chief executive he was succeeded by a man who appears to have been tailor-made for the job.In 30 years the National Hockey League has survived two World Wars; seen players salaries soar to ar all-time high; shattered all previous attendance records, and has seen the original playing rules almost completely revolutionized.If it has accomplished all this in 30 years&mdash;what gigantic heights will it reach in the next 30 years?That is something that only time will be able to tell. But its certain that hockey is here to stay, and the N.H.L. wish it. &#9632;

Oldest Pro Circuit Launched During First World Conflict

TORONTO.&mdash;Appointment of Major Conn Smythe as President of Maple Leaf Gardens and the Toronto Maple Leaf organization, announced last week, culminates a colorful career that has made Smythe a major force in today&rsquo;s hockey&mdash;and Toronto a factor to be reckoned with on the ice lanes.The appointment came at an appropriate time for Smythe, marking as it does his 20th anniversary with the Maple Leafs organization. It was in the 1927-28 season that Smythe was named manager of the Leafs, a struggling club that had been creeping along the past few years under the mantle of the Toronto St. Patrick&rsquo;s&mdash;once a feared name In the winter sport.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-016/866154-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="618" height="939"><figcaption class="caption-body">Champs&rsquo; BossCONN SMYTHE</figcaption></div>Professional hockey in Toronto really began from that day. Interest in the old St. Pat&rsquo;s and the pros had been at a low ebb the past few seasons, but from the advent of Smythe and his associates the game rocketed in popularity. Leafs won their first Stanley Cup In the 1931-32 season, and from then until the 1945-46 season they were right in there fighting in the playoffs every season. Last spring, Leafs won the Cup for the fourth time.Smythe&mdash;named the &ldquo;David Hamm of hockey&rdquo; because of his keen horse-trading sense and his ability to make deals that usually paid off well for Leafs&mdash;succeeds E. P. Bickle as president of Leafs, moving up from his old post of Managing Director. &#9632;

Merry Major Of Toronto Takes Over Bickle’s Post

It&rsquo;s been tough on goaltenders in the National Hockey League this season, with &ldquo;Prince Charlie&rdquo; Rayner of Rangers going out of action through injuries first, and then Canadiens&rsquo; Bill Durnan getting a gash that stopped him.Durnan was injured Saturday night as Rangers played here, and defeated Canucks for the third time this season. A bad gash on the forehead put Bill out of action after five minutes had been played in the second period, and gave youthful Gerry McNeil a fling at pro company.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-024/866209-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="542" height="859"><figcaption class="caption-body">InitiatedGERRY McNEIL</figcaption></div>McNeil, regular goalie for Montreal Royals of Quebec Senior Hockey League, was called from his seat and dressed as a substitute for the Injured Durnan, who probably won&rsquo;t be back in action again until this week-end, although he has expressed himself as feeling fit enough to play Thursday.Young McNeil, whose great play helped Royals capture the Allan Cup and the Canadian senior championship last spring, will be allowed to play amateur status, according to the latest agreement reached between the pro league and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association.The Saturday night game, in which he played not quite two full periods, does not count in the reckoning, President Clarence Campbell of the N.H.L. announced, and McNeil will be allowed three more chances before losing his amateur status.As a result of the injury, the patrons at the Montreal Forum were treated to the unique sight of substitute goalies in the nets for both teams.Sugar Jim Henry, a former N.H.L. netminder before Rayner came along, was called up from New Haven of the American Hockey League to sub for Rayner. He has been turning in a skilful job in a relief role, which makes it very doubtful that Rangers will part with him, to Chicago or any other team, preferring to hang on to him as injury insurance.McNeil, who is rated as one of the best goalies in hockey today by his Montreal supporters, was nervous in his debut and let five goals go past him. Canadiens&rsquo; sluggish defensive work that night can be partly blamed, since in his next outing Sunday he held the powerful Boston Bruins to a brace of tallies with a sparling performance. &#9632;

Patrons Watch Sub Backstops Battle It Out

<div class="byline">By EDDIE COEN</div>CLEVELAND, O.&mdash;Off to a slow start, and then hampered by injuries, the Cleveland Barons are slowly gaining momentum in their drive to move up in the western division standing of the American Hockey League. In fourth place at the moment, the Barons are starting to display a better all-around attack with each game that forebodes ill for one of the three clubs that are now perched ahead of Cleveland in the standing.It&rsquo;s really sort of a &ldquo;make way for us&rdquo; drive that the Euclid Avenue skaters are attempting to put on as they fight for one of the three playoff spots.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-016/866247-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg" title="f0003-01" width="540" height="905"><figcaption class="caption-body">He Helps &rsquo;Em&hellip;GEORGE ALLEN, left wing stalwart on Cleveland Barons&rsquo; first string line.</figcaption></div>Coach Bun Cook, who has one of the heaviest and most experienced clubs in the circuit, is finding that his team is starting to handle passes with finer precision. The wings are all driving puck carriers into the defencemen and the defencemen are clearing pucks in front of the nets. The play of Roger Bessette as well as Johnny Bower in the cage&mdash;the Barons use an alternating system of goalies&mdash;has been outstanding.First to hit the Injury list was Tony Bukovitch, the new left winger acquired from Indianapolis. Bukovitch suffered a shoulder separation in the final exhibition game against the Detroit Red Wings and did not discover that he was injured until about a week afterwards. Then Walter &ldquo;Babe&rdquo; Pratt came up with a knee injury in the Springfield game on October 26 and the big boy from whom so much had been expected was out of action for seven games.Next on the injury parade was hard - hitting defenceman Danny Sprout who suffered a badly bruised shoulder in the Indianapolis tussle of November 6 and has been sidelined.Gordie Davidson, another of the Barons&rsquo; big defencemen, has been bothered by an abscessed boil on the back of his neck which has made it very painful for him to turn quickly. However, Davidson has not been out of the lineup.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-024/866240-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="1914" height="1288"><figcaption class="caption-body">This Year&rsquo;s BaronsCLEVELAND BARONS, 1947-48 EDITION.

A new French line has been unveiled in the veteran break-a-way skater, Lou Trudel, Freddie Thurrier, and Roger Gagne teaming brilliantly. The third line is headed by Ab DeMarco, the former New York Ranger at centre ice, the promising rookie, Bob Solinger at right wing, and the hard forking newcomer, Roy Kelly, on the left side.Jack Lavoie, the skip-and-jump centre star, is being used to kill penalties, while the latest addition to the club, Les Brennan, a former Hershey and Minneapolis star, is expected to break into the lineup as a defenceman at any time. Bukovich and George &ldquo;Wingy&rdquo; Johnston will probably be used in spare forward roles.On defence, Big Joe Cooper, the former New York Ranger, is rapidly rolling into high gear, while Eddie Wares, former Detroit and Chicago star, is already a pillar of strength. And most pleasing to Baron officials has been the play of big and rugged Julie Sawchuk who last year broke his leg but apparently is suffering no ill effects from the injury. &#9632;

Jinx - Struck Clevelanders In Comeback

WASHINGTON, D.C&mdash;Gordon Bell, handsome 22-year-old goaltender of the Washington Lions, rapidly is re-establishing himself as one of the American Hockey League&rsquo;s great cage guardians with a combination that figures to do much better than was originally expected in the 1947-48 American Hockey League race.The chap who was the American League&rsquo;s shutout king with the Buffalo Bisons as a 17-year-old came to the Lions this fall after three years of association with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and since has shown that he has lost none of the class and ability that long has stamped him as a standout.Bell has turned in one shutout against the Springfield Indians, 6-0, and beat them more recently, 4-1. Two of his best performances resulted in a 1-2 fall before the New Haven Ramblers, and in a 2-3 loss to the Indianapolis Capitols.However, Bell&rsquo;s greatest game, his team-mates say, was provided in the early season when the locals lost substantially to the Pittsburgh Hornets, but not before their goaltender had been credited with some 55 saves.&ldquo;Gordie was magnificent that night,&rdquo; one of the veteran Lions declares. &ldquo;He was pulling the puck out of his ears on occasions and kept Washington in the running most of the way.&ldquo;Pittsburgh fans, who are used to fancy goaltending, actually stood up and cheered Bell as be made save after save. He never complains, does his job quietly and well, and the boys willingly skate their hearts out for him.&rdquo;Meanwhile, Bell is well satisfied in Washington, likes his team and his mates, and believes the Lions may surprise a lot of folks in 1947-48. &#9632;

Gordie Bell Of Lions Does Keen Job In Nets

PROVIDENCE, R.I.&mdash;Many a young hockey player has had his ups and downs, and many have debated whether to turn professional or turn down same. The case of Jack Stoddard is typical of a young player emerging from the minor circuit.Stoddard just recently signed a contract to play for the Providence Reds of the American Hockey League, but it took the Reds three years before they were able to ink this young man to a contract.The latest arrival in the Rhode Island camp was a perennial in the club&rsquo;s pre - season training camp site at Shawinigan Falls, Quebec, and this season he worked-out with Terry Reardon&rsquo;s team in Granby.In the fall of 1945 when he first came to the Providence camp, Yank Boyd, then coach of the squad, was high in his praises for the tall, slender youngster. At that time Jack was just out of the Canadian Navy and he was hitting a fast clip when he collided with a goal post during practice and as a result he suffered a broken hip bone.Stoddard was still in a Shawinigan hospital when the Reds broke camp to start the A.H.L. regular season. After his injured hip healed he returned to amateur hockey with the Hamilton Pats of the Ontario Hockey Association senior series.But Jack was determined to get into the big time and the following autumn he was back again at Shawinigan for another try - out. This time it was Gordon &ldquo;Tony&rdquo; Savage who was guiding the Reds and he, like Boyd the year before, was impressed with Stoddard&rsquo;s performance.But the Red coach thought that Jack was still a year away from the tough and fast brand of hockey dished up in the American League.So when the 1946 camp broke up again, Stoddard was given a ticket for Baltimore where he joined the Clippers of the Eastern United States Hockey League.Jack was back again and this year it was Terry Reardon who gave him the eye. He was 21 years old, heavier and with much more experience, and Reardon considered him an excellent prospect. Besides Stoddard, there was only one other good looking rookie named Danny Lewicki. The others were too young for the pro ranks.Stoddard and Tom Jamieson, young defenceman, were the two rookies in line for a job with the Reds. But before either of the boys signed, they picked up a rumor that they were to be shipped to Tacoma in the Pacific Coast League. Both skipped camp and joined the Quebec Aces of the Quebec Senior Hockey League.However, that rumor was entirely false, that is as far as Stoddard was concerned. It was intended to sign him for the Reds as it was believed he would be an asset to the club. There can be no telling just how well Stoddard will go this season with Providence, but the club heads must think that he holds some promise or else they would not have asked him to three training camps. &#9632;

Jack Stoddard Inks Contract With Providence Reds After Being Turned Down For Two Seasons At Camp

<div class="byline">By EDDIE COEN</div>CLEVELAND, O.&mdash;Saturday night is hockey night in Cleveland!!!And that is something that has been built up through 11 years of concentrated work and effort by no one but the Cleveland Arena&rsquo;s owner and the Barons&rsquo; president, Al Sutphin, one of the smartest hockey minds in the country today. The process of building Saturday night into a hockey night was anything but easy, but he accomplished this fact with typical Sutphin strength, cunning and dispatch.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-033/866326-1-eng-US/f0003-032.jpg" title="f0003-03" width="576" height="960"><figcaption class="caption-body">&hellip;So Does HeEDDIE WARES, former Detroit and Chicago rearguard, who has solved part of Coach Bun Cook&rsquo;s defence worries.</figcaption></div>It was no mean little task in the first place to build the Cleveland Arena some 11 years ago from a hole in the ground. Skeptics sneered at the work progressing on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland and said it &ldquo;couldn&rsquo;t be done.&rdquo; Then when it was done, it became, &ldquo;It&rsquo;ll be a white elephant.&rdquo; But today, exactly 10 years since the building was first opened, the Cleveland Arena is a self supporting structure that has never been or never will be a step and a half ahead of the sheriff or anybody else who may have a financial bone to pick with the Arena.<h2>Opened In 1937</h2>The Arena was first opened on November 10, 1937, and since that time several millions of fans have enjoyed hockey, ice shows, boxing, wrestling, basketball, rodeos, water carnivals, circuses, roller derbies, bike races, and the like within the four walls of the structure which once was styled a &ldquo;dream&rdquo; but became reality.The building was designed and constructed at a cost of $1,500,000. Speed and efficiency certainly played a great part in its growth, for the ground was not broken until May 8, 1937. The first attraction was presented exactly six months and two days later.No other arena is constructed with the ice surface somewhat below ground level, as is the case here.The seating capacity for hockey is 9,953&mdash;but the standees start gathering mighty early the nights of a game and crowds of 11,000-plus are anything but uncommon. &#9632;

Sutphin’s Men Draw Keenest Crowd Support

<div class="byline">By BETTY HARDESTY</div>PHILADELPHIA, PA&mdash;Those in the know in hockey will tell you that Steve Wochy was one of the most sought-after young stars in professional circles just before the training camp sessions swung into action this season.He landed in a Philadelphia Rockets uniform, turned in a hat trick (against Washington Lions) in his second game on home ice and soon emerged as one of the real scoring stars of the team.In his first 15 games, he had collected 11 goals and had assisted on five others to accumulate a grand total of 16 points, a little better than a point-a-game. This has endeared him to Philadelphia&rsquo;s hockey fans who are quick to point out that, as the season progresses and Wochy gets rolling, he&rsquo;ll most likely wind up with some record or other for his season&rsquo;s take in goals and points.<h2>A Fast Skater</h2>A husky right winger standing five feet nine and weighing 165, Steve is a fast skater and wields a sharp stick when he gets in for a shot at the nets. What&rsquo;s more, he has Johnny Mahaffy, a very clever ex-Buffalo Bison and ninth high scorer in the league last season, as his centerman.As a member of the fast-skating Indianapolis Caps in 1946-47, Steve played in 56 games, scored 21 assists and figured in the making of 24 other tallies for a season&rsquo;s total of 45 points. He spent only four minutes in the penalty box all season. He was one of the outstanding players on the club that included such top - notch scoring aces as Cliff Simpson and Les Douglas.Steve broke in as a pro with the Detroit Red Wings. He played 49 games in the National League, followed by six in the playoffs in 1944-45. The following season he was with Indianapolis and then Omaha in the United States League. Recalled by Indianapolis last season, he was soon doing some fancy shooting.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-0178/866357-1-eng-US/f0004-012.jpg" title="f0004-01" width="606" height="984"><figcaption class="caption-body">Philly FavoriteSTEVE WOCHY</figcaption></div>Christened with the almost unpronounceable name of Stefan Wojciechowski, Steve became a real favorite with sportswriters, copy readers and linotype operators&mdash;not to mention radio sport-casters when he shortened his name to Steve Wochy.Steve was born on Christmas Day in 1922. He played with Port Arthur West Ends for three years as a junior; with Port Arthur Bearcats for one year as a senior and another season with St. Catharine&rsquo;s senio rbsefore he joined pro ranks.He is married and the daddy of a young son, Stefan Gregory.

Rockets’ Wochy Aims At Record

LONDON, ENG.&mdash;The game of hockey is the fastest game in the world and to many it looks like the most dangerous, but insurance officials in Britain don&rsquo;t think along the same lines.In fact they rate hockey second to motorcycle racing. The helmeted speed demons who plant themselves in motorcycle saddles and whirl through the dust amid a deafening noise are given top billing by the English insurance magnates.One of the insurance brokers who handles the business in the two sports said, &ldquo;Payments to speedway riders are much greater than to hockey players.&rdquo;<h2>Rough Canucks</h2>He did remark, however, that the companies did have a bad time with hockey payments in the days before the war when the English teams were manned with Canadian players. Then the rates were increased.Insurance rates took a decided drop and the injury lists were also cut when the Canadian players who arrived in Britain in 1946 were warned by league officials to cut out all the rough stuff.The rink owners pay the premium on all players and the approximate cost is fifty cents a game and the insurance covers in-juries received by players on both teams.The payoffs are as follows: lows:The dependents of a player killed in a game or practice receive $2,000. The same dividend is paid to a player if he loses both eyes two limbs or an eye or a limb. If a player loses one eye or a limb he pockets &pound;250. The insurance company assumes rightly enough such accidents are rare and premiums are based upon the amount they expect to pay out on the remaining benefits, namely, disablement preventing the player from following his occupation and medical expenses incurred by the injury.The insurance companies balk at one common accident in hockey and that is the players&rsquo; teeth and dentures. The players are on their own as far as teeth are concerned because the companies figure it is a far too common occurrence for them to cover.<h2>Even Referees</h2>The referees also come under the insurance act but some English hockey fans are wondering why. A referee&rsquo;s policy carries, like the others, a clause to the effect that if they deliberately expose themselves to danger no benefits will be paid in the event of injury.The insurance official couldn&rsquo;t say what would happen if a referee was skulled with a bottle or other missile thrown by some excited fan. &#9632;

Insurance Firms Rate Game’s Danger Second

<div class="byline">By STAN SAPLIN</div>NEW YORK&mdash;As Frank Boucher, New York Rangers manager, continues to shuffle his forward lines seeking added scoring punch, an unusual development finds six lads from the same home town battling for three jobs with the Blue Shirts.The stickhandlers, hailing from Winnipeg, Man., are Cal Gardner, Don Raleigh, Eddie Slowinski, Church Russell, Ed Kullman and Rene Trudell.Gardner, Russell and Trudell were the regulars on the third Ranger line when the season began. An outstanding trio when they were promoted from the Rovers in February 1946, this unit failed to produce during the first few weeks of the current campaign, and Boucher broke the line for the first time time two weeks ago when he sent the 200-pound Slowinski in at Trudell&rsquo;s right wing spot&#8229; A week later, the Ranger pilot signed Raleigh to a Ranger contract and brought him in from Winnipeg to join the Blue Shirts. Don gained two assists in his season&rsquo;s debut in Chicago, scored once against the Hawks in the Garden and was a standout against the Canadiens here one week ago last Sunday when he gained three assists in one minute and 21 seconds. This was a new all-time record.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-0275/866412-1-eng-US/f0004-022.jpg" title="f0004-02" width="323" height="473"><figcaption class="caption-body">Slowinski</figcaption></div>The next move was the promotion of young Ed Kullman from the New Haven Ramblers to the Rangers. A chunky lad of 23, Kullman was an aggressive wing, outstanding as a backchecker and a good shot.The shuffling found different combinations of this half - dozen stickhandlers in action each time the Rangers have played in recent weeks. Slowinski momentarily has moved out of the picture, farmed to New Haven for further conditioning. Inactivity slowed down the big forward and he is working himself back into shape with the Ramblers.<h2>Junior Partners</h2>The six men involved were acquainted with one another in their younger days at home and several played together on junior teams. Russell, Kullman and Gardner were members of the Winnipeg Rangers in 1942 - 43, pacing their club to the Memorial Cup and the Canadian junior championship.&ldquo;Winger Bryan Hextall&rsquo;s wrenched left knee, suffered recently in the victory over Montreal, makes it necessary for Boucher to insert a right wing on the Buddy O&rsquo;Connor line, and he is likely to select one of the Winnipeg youngsters.Although Hextall, a 34-year-old right wing, missed practically all of the 1945-46 season as the result of a serious stomach disorder, this will be the first game of his career in which he will be out of action owing to injury. Bryan has played 416 regular season N.H.L. contests for the Rangers since 1937. &#9632;

Frank Boucher Shuffles Club Seeking Punch

CHICAGO&mdash;The Chicago Black Hawks found a remedy for one of their ailments when they secured the five Toronto players and Roy Conacher recently, but they&rsquo;re not finished yet. In fact, one of Coach Johnny Gottselig&rsquo;s big worries is still actually unsettled, that&rsquo;s his goaler.It was always common knowledge that Emile &ldquo;The Cat&rdquo; Francis was never the man for the Chicago cordage; in fact Gottselig admitted it himself when interviewed by THE HOCKEY NEWS a few weeks ago. He said that Francis was too small for the big company and that he also lacked the necessary experience.<h2>The Next Step</h2>The Hawks have now reinforced their forward and defence departments by the two headline deals and it left only the goaling problem to be dealt with. After finding no top-ranking netminders in the league&rsquo;s trading showcase, Gottselig did the next best thing when he farmed out young Francis to Kansas City and brought up Doug Jackson from the Pla-Mors.Gottselig has been attempting to solve his goaling problem for months now. Earlier in the season he put out feelers for a deal with the Rangers that would bring Sugar Jim Henry to Chicago. When the Rangers turned up their noses on the appeal the Hawk boss was still left with Francis.How Jackson will go with the Windy City club can only be answered in time, but he comes to the parent crew with an impressive record.Jackson&rsquo;s first two games in big league company were none too impressive. In his first two starts over the weekend, 17 goals went by him as Detroit plastered the Hawks twice by scores of 8-5 and 9-3.<h2>Shutout King</h2>Up to the time he left the Pla-Mors, Doug had recorded three shutouts and led the league in that department. Jackson came to Kansas City in 1945 and this season was his third as the team&rsquo;s regular netminder.In his first year he saw action in 52 games, scored two shutouts and had a goal-against average of 3.25. The following year his average dropped to 3.27 but he registered three blankings.Last year Francis was a fresh man in the N. H. L. and he was brought up by the Hawks from the Western Canada senior ranks near the end of the schedule. When the Hawks gave the veteran Paul Bibeault his walking papers, they called in The Cat, who played the remaining 19 games and was scored upon 104 times. He was born in North Battleford, Sask., on September 13, 1926.<h2>Patrick&rsquo;s Choppers</h2>NEW HAVEN, CONN.&mdash;Lynn Patrick doesn&rsquo;t have too much trouble keeping some of his Ramblers in condition. Dune Fisher, Scotty Cameron and Ian Mackintosh&mdash;three braw Scots&mdash;rented a house in the suburbs of New Haven, making a deal with the owner to supply heat for the building. True to their ancestral blood, the boys made a deal with the owner to clear a wooded area behind the house, getting their firewood and a discount on the rent at the same time. &#9632;

He selected the men from the 60 try-outs that were left in the Ottawa training camp. He still failed to pick a regular and alternate goalkeeper and two other players were not picked. But Boucher made it clear that his selections were not necessarily final.Cpl. Jack Seymour, Woodroffe, Ont.; Fit. Sgt. Louis Lacompte, Ottawa; Sgt. Stan Molinski, Ottawa, and Fit. Lt. Jack Maitland, Winnipeg, were the choices for the four defence positions.Forwards are, LAC Orval Gravelle. Aylmer, Que.; LAC Len Beatch, North Battleford, Sask.; Cpl.

Coach Boucher Reveals Roster For Olympics

LONDON, ENG.&mdash;It was just 11 years ago that Canada&rsquo;s hockey world received a severe jolt when the Dominion&rsquo;s Olympic entry was bowled over by a Canadian-bred goaltender named Jimmy Foster and 11 other virtually unknown players who won the Olympic hockey championship for Britain.The Canadian team&mdash;an overwhelming favorite to win the games hands down&mdash;was eliminated that year by the English team led by the smooth talking John Francis &ldquo;Bunny&rdquo; Ahearne, manager of the British side and secretary of the British Ice Hockey Association.The games were played at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany and what mainly led to the Canadian defeat was the sensational rubber-blocking by Foster.<h2>Players Protested</h2>Before the games got under way Canadian hockey officials filed a complaint that neither Foster or teammate Alex. Archer, who also learned the game in Canada were eligible to participate. They claimed that the two players had left Canadian clubs without permission.But the Britons were quick to take up the defensive and Percy Nicklin, then coach of the U.K. team, Said&rsquo; that if he lost these two players it would virtually wreck his team. Nicklin hails from Fort Frances, Ont., and he twice led the Moncton Hawks to the Allan Cup.But then Ahearne, as manager, stepped into the muddle and contended that a national regulation could not apply in an international tournament. The two players were suspended, and then ruled eligible to play only in the Olympic games.<h2>Foster Was Superb</h2>So the game started in a snowstorm and the Canadians were edged out 2-1 with Foster booting out everything that came towards his goal mouth. But after the game everything broke loose.All the countries entered in the games had agreed that the two top teams in each semi-final pool would advance to the final round. The rule also stated that the two teams moving up from one pool would not play against each other again. Since Canada and Britain placed one-two in their pool, the Dominion demanded another game against the Britishers.A special meeting was called by the International Ice Hockey Federation and it was only Germany that supported Canada after a vote was taken. Britain then went on to win the Olympic, world and European hockey titles.But now the true story can be told as to how England clinched the three championships. It seems that before the special meeting, Ahearne, well aware that if his team played the Canadians in a return match nothing could hold the boys from the Dominion, went to all the delegates and gave them a hard-luck yarn that Britain&rsquo;s chances would be lost with another game.As Ahearne went from delegate to delegate each one fell on his side and as a result Canada was railroaded out. The fight was lost long before a ballot was taken. &#9632;

Britain’s Strategy Won 1936 Olympics

<div class="byline">By LEN BRAMSON</div>Just how good does Canada&rsquo;s Olympic hockey team have to be in order to bring the top honors back to the Dominion?That&rsquo;s a question that many Canadian hockey fans are asking themselves throughout the nine provinces.After seeing many of the European teams that competed in the World and European Championships last February, in which the Czechoslovakian entry won by a pretty big margin, it is hard to visualize the Canadian team having any real opposition from any except the United States team. And now it looks as though the American entry may not be allowed to compete.The Canadian game is vastly different from the game that is played by the Europeans, even to the extent of using different equipment.Still playing in short pants and gloves that were used in this country in the late 20&rsquo;s, with a stick that is so long that it is hard to believe that a player could possibly control it, the continental teams play the game minus any body contact whatsoever.<h2>Courteous Mayhem</h2>In an exhibition game between the Swiss team and a British team from Wembley, a British player was dumped by a Swiss player, the player from Switzerland rushed over, apologized and helped the Englishman up from the ice.The Swiss player might have been considered a dirty player had he not helped the other man up.After seeing many games in the 1947-48 season, I have yet to see this polite European custom put Into action in Canada and I doubt if I am ever likely to see it. I just can&rsquo;t picture big Bouch Bouchard of the Montreal Canadiens, apologizing to Wild Bill Ezinicki of the Toronto Maple Leafs and then helping him off the ice, or vice versa.The Czechoslovakian team coached by Mike Buckna, former Trail Smoke Eater player, counts a trifle too much on Zabrodski, giant-size centre ice man who is a wonderful two-way skater. He just has to be body checked once and he Is finished&mdash;big as they are they just can&rsquo;t and are not able to take body checks.Zabrodski is rated the best player on the continent. Following close behind him is Jaroslav Drobny, Czech Davis Cupper who plays a better game of tennis than he does hockey.The European teams lack the co-ordination and hockey ability that are shown by any good Canadian team. Although they don&rsquo;t have the natural resources of hockey talent that Canada has, the foreign teams find it too expensive to Import Canadian players and so are depending on Canada for coaches and equipment only.Rated pretty high as hockey teams are the Swiss, Swedish and Austrian entries. The Austrian team which beat out the Swedish team at Prague last season was the surprise of the foreign hockey world.The Yanks found it tough playing on open air rinks after playing on indoor ice. They also had to get used to the king - sized sticks their opponents used, which made them expert poke checkers.European hockey teams have a high opinion of themselves. After the Czechs won the World Championships last winter they asked the Americans why Canada did not send a team, or were we afraid to get beaten? &#9632;

Canada’s Chances In Olympic Hockey Look Good If U.S. Entry Is Barred

NEW YORK&mdash;All is far from rosy in the United States Olympic hockey picture, with the question of who will represent the U.S.A. creating plenty of smoke and fire.The Amateur Hockey Association of the U.S., a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation, has entered a team in the games despite spirited opposition by the U.S. Olympic Committee, which favors the rival Amateur Athletic Union representatives.Avery Brundage, U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman and A.A.U. president, defied the I.I.H.F. and said either the A.A.U. team would play or the U. S. would withdraw all contestants, in every sport, from the Olympics. In turn, spokesmen for the I.I.H.F. replied that only a member of that international organization, as the A.H.A. is, would be allowed to compete.That&rsquo;s where the situation stood early this week, and whether the U.S. would have a team entered, or whether Brundage would make good his threat to withdraw entirely, were matters for heated speculation in sport circles. &#9632;

Hockey Pot Still Boiling In U.S.A.

THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY WEEKLYFounded October 1, 1947Published byHockey News Company, 803 Dominion Square Building, Montreal. Que.Subscription Price $2 for 30 Issues in Canada - $3 in U.S.A.Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa.Vol. 1, No. 9. Montreal, Nov. 26, 1947. Printed in Canada.The National Hockey League&mdash;a far cry from the feeble infant it was but a few decades ago&mdash;on Saturday passed a milestone in its existence, the 30th anniversary of the founding of the premier professional hockey circuit.It was just 30 years ago, on November 22, 1917, that a group of far - sighted hockey men sat down together and formed the N.H.L., building on the foundation of the defunct National Hockey Association, its immediate predecessor.Professional hockey was fighting to keep its head above the stormy waters of World War I when the N.H.L. was born. Times were uncertain, especially for promotion of professional sport on so grandiose a scale as envisioned by the League&rsquo;s founders. And there were those at the time who said that only brave or foolhardy men would undertake such a task. Only time proved that it wasn&rsquo;t foolhardiness, as the League grew and prospered, and eventually reached its present high estate. There will be few to argue against the claim that the N.H.L. today is the greatest international sport organization in the world.There were only four clubs in the circuit for its initial season, that of 1917-18, as Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal Wanderers and Montreal Canadiens broke from the starting gate. Of these only Canadiens remain today. Wanderers fell by the wayside early in the 1918-19 season, after their rink burned, Ottawa dropped out permanently after the conclusion of the 1933-34 campaign, and the old Toronto St. Pat&rsquo;s franchise continued to operate, but under new management and with a new name&mdash;the Toronto Maple Leafs of today.Of the men who sat down to form the N.H.L. on that historic day 30 years ago, none today are actively connected with the League. Those at the meeting were Tommy Gorman, now a sport impresario at Ottawa, the late George Kennedy, the late M. J. Quinn and the late Frank Calder, first President of the League.The beginnings were small, and the development was slow for the first few years. What really gave the N.H.L.&mdash;and indeed all hockey&mdash;its great impetus, was the introduction of United States fans to the games and the entry of clubs from south of the border.Boston was the first American city to enter the League, in the season of 1924-25 when Charles F. Adams&mdash;whose death this fall came as such a shock to the world of hockey&mdash;became enthralled.by the sport and obtained a franchise for his Boston Bruins. Boston rapidly became one of the major centres of hockey on the continent, and other United States cities were quick to follow suit and jump on the bandwagon of international sport.In quick succession came the entries of New York Americans, Pittsburgh, New York Rangers, Chicago and Detroit. Hockey was on its way. Pittsburgh entered the League in 1925-26 but dropped out again in 1930, eventually winding up in the American Hockey League. Philadelphia took over the Pittsburgh franchise, but dropped out after but one season&rsquo;s operations. St. Louis also tried the N.H.L. for one season, in 1934 - 35, taking over the Ottawa Senators&rsquo; franchise when that cradle of the game and home of so many famous teams of the past, found the financial going too tough and dropped out.Montreal had two teams for the first time since the Wanderers let their franchise lapse, when the Maroons entered in 1924-25 and remained in the league until 1937-38. New York Americans fell out after the 1941-42 season&mdash;playing out the string as the Brooklyn Americans under the colorful Red Dutton, later president of the League after Frank Calder&rsquo;s death.Now, as the N.H.L. is well embarked on its 31st year of activity, although only six teams remain of the many which at one time or another passed through the moving parade, there are plans and hopes for the future that far transcend any of the achievements of the past. New cities may well play in the great international organization before many more seasons, hockey moves onward to even greater successes, and the National Hockey League marches in the van, pointing the way.So we say, congratulations to the National Hockey League, and long way may it thrive with hands across the border! &#9632;

If you would like to see some special feature in THE HOCKEY NEWS, tell it to the FANS&rsquo; FORUM. We&rsquo;ll do our best to fill the bill.<h2>QUESTION DEPARTMENT</h2>Dear Sir&mdash;The innovation of a Question Box is the only suggestion I can offer. We are all bothered by little questions within our own leagues, where the old faces are, etc. (Such as) where is Laurie Peterson, ex-St. Catharines Falcon erstwhile Bison or Houstonite?The lineups, box summaries and brief writings of the Quebec Senior and U.S. Hockey League are great reading. I hope the P.C.H.L., Eastern Amateur and Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; O.H.A contenders will come in for like attention from time to time. Also (will you print) Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; O.H.A. schedules?Helen M. Ryker.Buffalo, New York.(Until such time as we have a regular Question Box, don&rsquo;t be afraid to ask the Fans&rsquo; Forum anything you want to know. Laurie Peterson is playing with Dallas Texans of the U.S.H.L., the team he joined in the 1945-46 season after leaving the Falcons. When space permits, we will publish those schedules we have not carried so far.)Dear Sir&mdash;Would you please settle an argument? I was wondering how many players a team is able to dress for a game in the National Hockey League?R. P. Lewis. Trail, B.C.(An N.H.L. team is allowed to dress 15 players for a game)<h2>HOW COME?</h2>Dear Sir&mdash;I see by the records that Cal Gardner, now playing with Rangers, was born in 1920. How is it then that he was able to play for Winnipeg Monarchs in the season 1942-43 when they won the Memorial Cup against the Oshawa Generals?Keith Ludlow Alliston, Ontario.(In a check of the official records, it was found that Gardner was born October 30, 1924, thus making him eligible for junior play in the season of 1942-43.)<h2>GAME TOO ROUGH?</h2>Dear Sir&mdash;I would like to know how all the fans like the hockey of today. I like it, except for the idea of the defencemen moving up. I think the defenceman&rsquo;s place is to stay on guard, not to go up to score goals.The game, in my point of view, is also getting too rough, and many teams lose good chances to get higher in the standings when some of their star players are hurt from some scuffles. Some new changes should be made in the rules. I would like to know if any person or league official is thinking of changing the rules.Howard Zavedosky. Gerald. Saskatchewan.(The rules of hockey are constantly under study and revisions are made from time to time to further the best interests of the sport. You may be sure that any conditions detrimental to the game will be changed in due time.)<h2>TRAITOROUS WORDS!</h2>Dear Sir&mdash;I see someone has mentioned naming the rookie - of - the - year through THE HOCKEY NEWS. Here&rsquo;s my choice: Bill Barilko of Toronto Maple Leafs.George Carpenter Montreal, Quebec.Dear Sir&mdash;Would it be possible to publish a complete list of Memorial, Allan, Calder and Stanley Cup winners?Mervyn G. Ayres. Stroust, Ontario.(In time, but we can&rsquo;t promise just when.)<h2>TOUGHER THERE</h2>Dear Sir&mdash;In our Big Four league down here in the Maritimes we have games almost every night, yet in the National Hockey League, a league much bigger than ours, there are games only on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday with very few games on other nights. Can you explain this?Jack Layton Great Village N.S.(Reader Layton obviously does not realize that the distances between the N.H.L. cities are much greater than the distances between the Big Four Cities. Anyway, we were always under the impression that they made them tougher in the Maritimes.)Dear Sir&mdash;I would like to know if a goaler is able to receive a penalty in a hockey game and if so have there been any this year.Leonard Lavergne. St. Louis, Sask.(Yes, a goaler may receive a penalty for many offences which Include, fighting, tripping, throwing the puck into the crowd, or any other faults for which any player is penalized.

Hockey Fans’ Forum

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZlF</div>New York Rangers players are figuring prominently in the hockey spotlight these days, and are either establishing or nearly establishing N. H. L. records. First it was Don Raleigh, 21-year-old Winnipeg rookie playing his fourth game of the season who set a new record for the fastest three assists. Raleigh received assists on the first three Ranger goals in the lighting-fast time of 81 seconds, the night that Rangers defeated Montreal Canadiens 4-2.The first goal was scored by Rene Trudell assisted by Raleigh and Gardner at 5.25 of the first period. Frank Eddolls scored at 5.43 on a pass from Raleigh and Trudell scored again at 6.46 with the help of Gardner and Raleigh. Three assists in one minute and 21 seconds. Not bad for a freshman!Raleigh played for no less than six different hockey teams last winter while attending college at Brandon, Manitoba. He also helped to coach the college squad. It would appear as if he spent a very busy winter in the city where Turk Broda comes from.The second Ranger to draw attention this past week was Edgar Laprade, suave centre, who scored two goals in 34 seconds as Rangers edged out Detroit Red Wings 6-5 on Wednesday, November 19.Laprade&rsquo;s first goal was at 6.59 of the second period and the second at 7.33. At first it was thought that Laprade had hung up a new record for the fastest two goals in N.H.L. play.After careful checking however, it was discovered that Carl Liscombe holds the record for the three fastest goals in the National Hockey League, also holds similar honors for the fastest two goals. Playing for Detroit Red Wings against Chicago Black Hawks on March 13, 1938 Liscombe scored a trio of tallies in one minute and 52 seconds.Liscombe&rsquo;s three goals were scored in the first canto, and the times were 16.02, 17.31, and 17.54. The second and third goals were scored 23 seconds apart, which bests Laprade&rsquo;s mark by nine seconds.An interesting hockey book to hit this desk is &ldquo;The Boston Bruins The complete story of a great hockey team.&rdquo; The book is edited by Harold Kease and Herb Ralby, two of Boston&rsquo;s outstanding hockey writers and contains a lore of information on Bruin players past and presentThere is an interesting section titled, &ldquo;What Old Time Bruins Are Doing Now&rdquo;. Included among the list of Boston players of yesteryear and what they&rsquo;re doing today are such well-known stars of the ice lanes as Frank Fredrickson, Carson Cooper, Alex Smith, Nels Stewart, Tiny Thompson, George Owen, Marty Barry and Eddie Burke.Fredrickson is now a prominent insurance salesman in Vancouver, B.C.; Cooper is chief scout for Detroit Red Wings; Alex Smith works for the Canadian government-in Ottawa, and Nels Stewart is listed as a spirits salesman in Toronto.Tiny Thompson is chief scout for Chicago Black Hawks; Owen is in the shoe and brokerage business in Boston; Barry is coaching the Halifax senior team, and Eddie Burke is chief C.C.M. salesman in Eastern United States.All-time Bruins records are listed in the book as well as a quiz on the Boston Garden. The centre spread is a cartoon by Gene Mack on the Bruins Stanley Cup highlights. There is a brief profile autographed of each player on the current Boston team.Fans who would like to procure a copy of this slick book should send 30 cents&mdash;no stamps&mdash;to Herb Ralby, 32 Derne St., Boston 14, Mass.Hockey fans are reminded that if they are interested in obtaining an official National Hockey League Rule Book, they may obtain same by writing to Dept. HN, National Hockey League, 603 Sun Life Building, Montreal, and enclosing 10 cents to cover the cost of mailing. &#9632;

Round the Rinks

<h2>Brothers Signed</h2>The Black Hawks recently made another brother act possible as a replacement for the Bentleys. They signed Walter and Bill Kyle, now playing for the Regina Caps of the Western Canada Senior league.<h2>Latest Rookies</h2>Two more names were added to the N.H.L, list of rookies. They are Goalers Doug Jackson of Chicago and Jerry McNeil of Canadians. They both received their first taste of N.H.L, fire over the weekend.<h2>HOW THE RACE GOES</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-0151/866656-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="645" height="270"></div><h3>Last Week&rsquo;s Results</h3>November 19&mdash;Boston 7, Toronto 2; Rangers 6,.

In their home-and-home series, the Detroit snipers peppered Rookie Jackson with 17 goals winning Saturday in Detroit 8-5 and Sunday in Chicago 9-3.Another newcomer, Jimmy McFadden, was the outstanding Detroit marksman. In the two games with the Hawks, Jim pickedup three goals and five assists. He can still be classisfied as a rookie as he played in only four games with Detroit last season.The Bruins lost possession of first place after a poor weekend in which they lost to Toronto Saturday 4-3 and were held to a 2-2 tie by Canadiens the following night.<h2>Canucks Slip</h2>The slipping Montreal Canadiens were the talk of the league the past week as the league champions were only able to muster two points in three games. The great play of Maurice Richard was the only bright point in the Habs play. In the three games he scored five goals. On Wednesday. Dick Irvin&rsquo;s club were lucky to tie Chicago 2-2 and after losing to Rangers 5-2 Saturday they tied Boston 2-2 in the Beantown. The Canucks also lost the services of their star goaler, Bill Durnan, who was injured Saturday.The Rangers have showed more improvement as they go along. Their win over Detroit Thursday plus the victory over Canadiens has brought them two points closer to fourth place.The Bruins will have a chance to move back into first place tonight when they tangle with the Black Hawks in Chicago and tomorrow they travel to Detroit for a show-down battle with the Wings.<h2>WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19</h2>DETROIT&mdash;A goal at the 10.59 mark of the third period by little Grant Warwick, gave the New York Rangers a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Red Wings and enabled the Blueshirts to take a three-point lead over Chicago who tied with Canadiens.Rene Trudell and Edgar Laprade paced the Rangers with two goals each.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Detroit&rsquo;s rushing rookie, Jimmy McFadden, ran wild over the weekend to collect eight scoring points as Red Wings trounced the tail-end Black Hawks twice. That feat wins unanimous nomination as the Player-of-the-Week for the Irish-born Wing flash. McFadden, who played four games for Detroit in last spring&rsquo;s Stanley Cup playoffs but still qualifies as a rookie, scored three goals Saturday night as his mates trounced Hawks 8-5. Then on Sunday night, in Chicago, McFadden helped set the plays for five more counters as Chicago were humbled 9-3.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-0234/866687-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="334" height="484"></div>The 25-year-old McFadden was born in Belfast, Ireland, but learned his hockey in Canada&rsquo;s west. He is a wheat farmer and softball player in Darlingford, Manitoba, during the off-season and is unmarried.The chunky centre and left winger tips the scales at 180 pounds and measures 5&rsquo;7&rdquo;. He was playing with Ottawa Senators of the Quebec Senior Hockey League at the beginning of last season, when he accepted an offer to turn professional with Buffalo of the American Hockey League.Following the controversy that was stirred up over his action when Ottawa protested the move, McFadden played out the season with Bisons, scoring 19 goals and 15 assists, then was purchased by Detroit in time for the playoffs. &#9632;

PLAYER-OF-THE-WEEK

<div class="byline">By HAROLD FLACHSBART</div>(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)ST. LOUIS, MO.&mdash;The thing about St. Louis hockey which most impresses the Flyers&rsquo; new kid forward line is the size of the crowds at The Arena.Johnny Raynak, Pop Backor and Steve Black are just a trio of shy Canadian youths from Fort William, Ont., in an area at the northern tip of Lake Superior known as the Head of the Lakes. They played on the Pacific Coast last winter, but they had never seen &ldquo;so many people together in one place&rdquo; as at the arena here.&ldquo;We usually played before about 3,000 and once or twice maybe 4,500 to 5.500.&rdquo; Raynak said, and Backor chimed in, &ldquo;yea, we were all plenty nervous that opening night when there were over 12,000 howling for the Flyers to get goin&rsquo;.&rdquo;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s going to be hard for us for quite a while,&rdquo; Black added. &ldquo;You know, every rink we play in when away from St. Louis is new for us, and you&rsquo;d be surprised how hard it is to get used to the Buffalo fans and Indianapolis fans, for example, booing you.&rdquo;<h2>Like Fans&rsquo; Enthusiasm</h2>Raynak and Backor backed up Black. &ldquo;Out on the Coast,&rdquo; Pop said, &ldquo;crowds are not partisan. No matter which city we&rsquo;d play, the home team got only half the cheers, and the visitors would welcome that other half of the applause. It sure is different here.&rdquo; All agree they haven&rsquo;t hit their best stride yet, but that they haven&rsquo;t seen anything in the circuit so far to be afraid of.The three kids were all discovered by Ed Lauzon, the Flyers&rsquo; chief scout. It so happened that they grew up together on the East Side of Fort William, a town of 36,000. There was outdoor skating aplenty during boyhood winters, and sometimes even Lake Superior was frozen.It was natural that they should play junior hockey together, though they were not always on the same line. But at Port Arthur (now the Flyers&rsquo; training camp) they played together on the same Ontario League team and they were separated only two years ago when Raynak and Backor played on the West Coast and Black remained for another year of junior amateur hockey at Port Arthur. Last winter Black joined his buddies on the Coast and they made history by scoring 106 goals and an amazing total of 222 points, including assists&mdash;with a last-place club!<h2>Play Softball Too</h2>All three play softball in summer. Raynak related that Backor, who&rsquo;s been called Pop since he was a boy and not because he&rsquo;s the oldest of the three, pitched a no-hitter recently. &ldquo;Yea, and I happened to be on the other side,&rdquo; Black added.Pop&rsquo;s also taking up golf, the other two said with big winks. &ldquo;Naw, that&rsquo;s not so,&rdquo; protested Backor.Raynak is the only one of the three who smokes.Right wing Raynak, the little guy at 5-9 and weighing 150, is the oldest, 22. Backor, 21, stands 5-11 and weighs 185 and left wing Black is the youngest and huskiest. He&rsquo;s only 20 but six feet, one inch tall and weighs in the hundred and eighties.Who knows, maybe they&rsquo;ll develop into a new edition of the Whiz Kids! Whiz Kids of hockey that is.<h2>Rocket Yogi</h2>Baseball has its player nicknamed Yogi, in the person of Larry Berra with the New York Yankees. Philadelphia Rockets of the American Hockey League have their player with a mystic name this season. He is Charlie &ldquo;Yogi&rdquo; Kraiger, battling left winger for the Quaker City representatives. Kraiger was born in Czechoslovakia<h2>Shows Big Brother</h2>ST. LOUIS&mdash;Young brother showed big brother it doesn&rsquo;t pay to be a bad man on the ice in the Flyers&rsquo; opener with Pittsburgh here. Pete Backor of the Hornets, the big brother got in a fight and did all the swinging and punching, which resulted in a five-minutes penalty for him and no penalty against St. Louis. While Pete was cooling offin the coop, young brother Hank Backor poped in the Flyers&rsquo; fourth and insurance goal in a 4-2 victory. &#9632;

Philadelphia Rockets Roster

<div class="byline">By DICK FORTUNE</div>PITTSBURGH, PA.&mdash;As this is written, the great play of the Pittsburgh Hornets is the talk of the American Hockey League and the Hornets are playing to packed houses everywhere.Coach Bob Davidson&rsquo;s &ldquo;youth movement&rdquo; has provided some exciting hockey and the Red Shirted Wasps were working on an undefeated string that had run through 14 games&mdash;11 victories and three ties&mdash;before they were stopped by Providence last Thursday. But they bounced right back Saturday to hammer St. Louis Flyers 12-1Davidson&rsquo;s confidence that this team would give any club a strong argument was shared by owner John H. Harris and other staff members of the Pittsburgh Hockey Club. When the Hornets opened up rather inauspiciously by dropping the first game of the season to St. Louis, nobody was panicky.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll go all right,&rdquo; assured the Hornet coach and the boys started right in the next night to prove it.Fleming Mackell and Les Costello, two rookies from St. Michael&rsquo;s College, have teamed up with rangy Bob Dawes, who has been moved from defence to centre. This &ldquo;kid line&rdquo; has won favor with the fans by their constant. drive and flashy teamwork. These youngsters really wear down opponents with their incessant pressure.Sophomore SmoothiesTwo other sophomores, Tod Sloan and Syd Smith, work with veteran Pete Langelle to give the Wasps their highest scoring line. A third line has veterans Peanuts O&rsquo;Flaherty, Mel Hill, Bill Benson, Armand Lemieux and Jackie Hamilton sharing the duties.On defence, the Hornets have been a little shorthanded since Ernie Dickens and Bob Goldham were traded by Toronto to Chicago. The No. 1 rearguard, Elwin (Moe) Morris, has been sidelined for three weeks with a badly cut instep and the work is split up by Pete Backor, who is having a great year; the dependable Stan Kemp, rookie Phil Samis, who is a star in embryo, and Hank Blade, on loan from Chicago until Morris recovers.Morris&rsquo; injury is just one of several that have plagued the Hornets but haven&rsquo;t stopped them. Hill has had two stretches of convalescence due to groin injuries;<h2>He Plasters &rsquo;Em</h2>Sid Lovelace, Philadelphia Rockets&rsquo; rookie, keeps in shape for hitting &rsquo;em hard in hockey by dividing his time as a plasterer, knocking &rsquo;em bowlegged while playing lacrosse for Weston, Ontario, and belting them out of the lot in baseball.Hamilton had an injured knee; Benson was out for a week with a knee injury and Lemieux missed four games.The main reason for the Pittsburgh club&rsquo;s early success is the great teamwork displayed by the boys. Perennial Pittsburgh fans say that no combination ever to wear the local colors has worked together as smoothly as the 1947-48 club which Coach Davidson is guiding along to what he hopes will be a Calder Cup victory.Never Say DieDuring the great string, they have given evidence of refusing to concede victory to any team. When Indianapolis seemed ready to move away from the Hornets in the Western Division, the Wasps met the Caps on their home ice. In the early part of the game it was all Indianapolis and Pittsburgh was behind 6-2. Then the kids found the net and in an amazing demonstration of offence they racked up seven goals before Indianapolis could score again. That was a 9-7 win for the Hornets, one of the few they have scored on the Caps in Indianapolis since the league was formed.They&rsquo;re hustling every minute, but there&rsquo;s no letup in sight as both Buffalo and Indianapolis hang on close to the top ready to take over the minute they falter. It looks like a red-hot race right down to the wire in the American Hockey League this year, but the Hornet &ldquo;Whiz Kids&rdquo; are ready for just such a slam-bang battle.<h2>Rack &rsquo;Em Up</h2>Chuck Scherza, the hard-rock forward of the Providence Reds in the American Hockey League, operates a billiard parlor in Brandon, Manitoba, and is as proficient at dropping the 8-ball in the side pocket as he&rsquo;s at bodychecking an opponent.<h2>Ebbie&rsquo;s Kid Line</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-0185/866787-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="593" height="949"><figcaption class="caption-body">STAN BLACK</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-0249/866780-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="594" height="947"><figcaption class="caption-body">HANK BACKOR</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-0335/866773-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="603" height="934"><figcaption class="caption-body">JOHNNY RAYNAK</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Teamwork and Victory Spirit Make Pittsburgh Hornets Feared In AHL

WASHINGTON, D.C.&mdash;Kenny Schultz, hustling centre of the Washington Lions of the American Hockey League, fast is establishing himself in two departments. Primarily the fighting redhead from the Pittsburgh Hornets is the team&rsquo;s spark-plug and driving inspiration. And again he&rsquo;s the hard luck kid who takes his lumps, and bravely comes back for more.Kenny received one of these jolts that break a coach&rsquo;s heart in the early season as the Lions played Springfield&rsquo;s Indians at Uline Arena. Washington was leading 5-0, with only 26 seconds of play remaining when Kenny skated in to beat Goalie Yves Nadon to the net. Nadon, disgusted with this turn of affairs, swung his stick disgustedly, and accidentally caught Schultz squarely in the face. A dislocated jaw was feared, but Kenny escaped with a lacerated lip and swollen jaw that mended quickly.More recently Schultz withdrew from a game with the Hershey Bears at Uline to receive first aid for a bruised hip. Upon returning to the ice he became involved in a wild scramble for the puck, and again was knocked out as he crashed into the boards.However, the flying redhead is anything but brittle, or superstitious, and keeps driving away in full fury while doing a grand job.&ldquo;That&rsquo;s two knockouts in my first 12 matches with Washington,&rdquo; Kenny grinned afterward, &ldquo;but don&rsquo;t count me out. I&rsquo;ve just begun to fight and I expect to get in a few jolts myself before the season is over. I&rsquo;m geared to go the distance and I won&rsquo;t claim any fouls either.&rdquo; &#9632;

CHICAGO&mdash;At a breezy &ldquo;hot stove&rdquo; session here recently between a few of the old-time lovers of hockey each was asked to relate the play that gave him the biggest thrill.The publicity man of the Black Hawks, Joseph Chesterfield Farrell, who in himself is a font of hockey information, went on to talk about the 1937-38 Stanley Cup series between Toronto Maple Leafs and the Hawks. He retold the story of how he and a handful of others made a tour of all the taverns in search of Alfie Moore, a minor league goaler whom they had borrowed from the Leafs to replace the injured Mike Karakas.It proved to be a valuable search for Moore turned in a spectacular performance and held Toronto to one goal despite his &ldquo;hopped-up&rdquo; condition and the Hawks won the game 4-1.He also went on to say that Edwin &ldquo;Doc&rdquo; Romnes was the man who really won the championship for the Hawks that season. By taking a healthy swing at the former badman, Red Horner, Doc cowed the entire Toronto team and the Hawks went on from there to take the series.<h2>Chuck&rsquo;s Performance</h2>&ldquo;Toby&rdquo; Doheny also put his two-cents into the chatter session. Doheny who has been official timer at Chicago for the past 25 years, gave an interesting account of the goaling of the late Charlie Gardiner in the Stanley Clup playoffs of 19 31-3 2. That was the year the Hawks were pitted against the powerful New York Rangers whose attack was centred around the famous line of Bill and Bun Cook and Frank Boucher.It was these semi-final series, two-game total goals to count round, and Gardiner rose to great heights by turning aside sure goals from the Ranger&rsquo;s shooters. Toby stated that 75% of the play took and the Cooks and Boucher threw place inside the Chicago blueline everything at the great Chuck.One important figure that was missing at the little gathering was Lester Patrick who was during that series the boss of the Rangers. Patrick&rsquo;s tribute to Gardiner after the series is something that will never be forgotten in Chicago. Said the Silver Fox, &ldquo;Chuck Gardiner tonight gave the greatest exhibition of goal-tending that I have ever seen and for my money he is the top goalie in hockey.&rdquo;<h2>Good And Bad</h2>CHICAGO&mdash;H. P. Zinck, well known Chicago hockey writer, pens something novel in the way of all-star National Hockey League teams. Zinck picks his all - time &ldquo;bad men&rdquo; and all-time &ldquo;good men&rdquo; teams. Here are his choices:<h3>&ldquo;Bad Men&rdquo;</h3>Goal, Chuck Gardiner; defence, Eddie Shore, Ching Johnson, Red Dutton, King Clancy; centre, Nels Stewart, Howie Morenz; right wing, Chuck Conacher, Hooley Smith; left wing, Aurel Jollat, Harvey Jackson.<h3>&ldquo;Good Men&rdquo;</h3>Goal, George Hainsworth; defence, Dit Clapper, Happy Day, Flash Hollett, Ott Heller; centre, Frank Boucher, Bill Cowley; right wing, Bill Cook, Lorne Carr; left wing, Johnny Gottselig, Syd Howe.All these players saw 10 or more years service in the N.H.L.Frank Selke, now general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, also voiced what he thought was the greatest hockey performance of all-time. Mr. Selke rates the time Lester Patrick took over from the injured Lorne Chabot during the 1927-28 Stanley Cup series between the Rangers and the Montreal Marons.When Chabot had to be taken out of the game when hit by a flying puck, Patrick laced the pads after refusing to use one of the many goalers who were sitting in the stands. Patrick had never played in between the pipes before but he held the Maroons to a single goal and the Rangers won the game 2-1 and went on from there to win the series.Harvey Johnson, timekeeper at the Black Hawk&rsquo;s home games, took Eddie Shore as the hero of the play that gave him the biggest thrill.It was during a game played at the old Coliseum. Shore and his Boston mates had played the Maroons in Montreal a few nights before in a rough and tumble brawl in which Eddie tangled with Montreal&rsquo;s famous &ldquo;S line&rdquo; of Hooley Smith, Babe Seibert and Nels Stewart. After the battle Shore came out with a broken nose, two black eyes and a dozen facial gashes. However Shore was back a few nights later against the Hawks and with a fibre mask didn&rsquo;t give the Hawk players a single shot on the net from his side of the ice.<h3>Mush&rsquo;s Thrill</h3>Little Harold &ldquo;Mush&rdquo; March, who played 17 consecutive seasons with the Chicago club, was asked to air the biggest thrill he ever got out of the game. It was in 1934 when he scored a goal that won the Stanley Cup for the Hawks. It was a sudden death overtime period when Mush picked up &ldquo;Doc&rdquo; Romnes&rsquo; pass and fired the rubber past Wilf Cude who was guarding the cage for the Detroit Red Wings.&ldquo;The sight of the late Howie Morenz in action was always a thrill&rdquo;, said Bill Tobin, president of the Black Hawks. To Tobin the acme of hockey thrills was to witness Morenz on a goalward dash. He was head and shoulder over any player of his era.<h2>Sea Gulls Clipped</h2>BALTIMORE, MD.&mdash;Baltimore Clippers poured on the heat to trounce Atlantic City Sea Gulls 15-6 in an Eastern United States Hockey League clash that tied the loop record for total goals in one game. The goal splurge equalled that marked up November 25, 1941, when Washington Eagles downed the old Baltimore Orioles 14-7. It came within one of equalling the mark of 22 goals set by New York Rovers and Brooklyn Crescents in the American Hockey Association, March 21, 1944. &#9632;

Hawk Oldtimers Relate Best Thrills Of Hockey

NORTH BAY, ONT.&mdash;It&rsquo;s the Northern Ontario senior hockey crown this season or bust as far as the boys behind North Bay&rsquo;s hockey setup are concerned. And despite the setback the Hollinger Greenshirts handed them last year in the Northern Ontario Hockey Association playoffs, the Bay boys will be back gunning for the title.Pete Palnegie is behind the big move this year and he had named his club the Black Hawks and has patterned their uniforms along the Chicago lines. Pete himself played for the Hawks at one time and also for the St. Louis Flyers.North Bay should be able to ice a powerful club as it will probably be built around Pep Kelly, former Toronto Leaf, Bill Holouka, Doug McDonald and Shep Mayer. Kelly presents a problem hower. He is a railroader now and it might be difficult to find time to play.<h2>New Ice Helps</h2>An artificial ice sheet is being installed in North Bay and that should in itself improve the game here. Last year when the home club played Hollinger, snow had to be imported into the rink to dry up the water on the ice. The North Bay players were unable to practice several days before the game and as a result they were no match for the well-conditioned Hollinger aggregation.Other likely candidates for spots on the team include Frankie Ringler, Davie Morland, Andy Mantha, Harold Bonany, Johnny Cummings, Paul Paquette, Louis Gallardi, Hindoo Rivet, Tony Demarco, Ken Larden, Joe Lafrance and Gene Souiliere. &#9632;

QUEBEC SENIOR LEAGUE

MEDICINE HAT, ALTA.&mdash;The Medicine Hat Junior Tigers have landed one of the most prominent hockey coaches in Western Canada with the selection of Roy Bentley as the new pilot of the Tiger club this season.Not only does Roy hail from the famous Bentley hockey family of Delisle, Saskatchewan, that sent Doug and Max Into the National Hockey League, but he also has done considerable playing which will give him a fine background to guide the Medicine Hat youngsters this year.Roy started his puckchasing career back in 1919 in his little home town of Delisle and he remained there until 1929 and the next year he shifted to Lloydminster where he spent one season. It was the following season when he packed-up and went to Alberta to join the Drumheller Miners.<h2>Back Home Again</h2>However he was back at his Delisle home in 1930 and donned his blades for the home club for mother two winters. But Roy wasn&rsquo;t content and he was back with the Drumheller club for part of the last season but *****. Christmas he joined the professional ranks with Duluth Hornets.Bentley broke in as a coach in 1937 when he handled the Rosetown, Sask., club until he got the itch to get back into action. And that he did. He rejoined the Drumheller club for the third time and remained with them until 1942.It was back in the early 30&rsquo;s when the Drumheller club became famous across the Dominion as the only team with five members of the same family on the lineup. That was the season Roy joined his four brothers: Max, Doug, Scoop and Reg. That was the season also that the Bentleys first came into prominence in Alberta and since then the same name has been famous in the game.The much-travelled Bentley took to the road again after playing with Drumheller and this time he landed in Trail, then a hockey hotbed. It was at Trail that Roy ended his playing days, The following year he was appointed coach of the Trail Smoke Eater juvenile club and he piloted them to the British Columbia championship.After that Bentley&rsquo;s coaching ability was the talk of Western Canada and he was offered a job as coach of the Moose Jaw Canucks junior squad. Bentley had &#9632;

At this stage it looks like a race between Generals, the strongest junior puck group in Canada a few seasons back, and the Jack Skinner-coached boys from the border city.<h2>Mustangs Enter Loop</h2>LONDON&mdash;The University of Western Ontario, producers of regular championship football teams, will branch out into hockey this season according to Johnny Metras, athletic director.The Mustangs have been out of intercollegiate hockey for several years but Metras said that a team would be formed and entered in the intercollegiate intermediate league. They will compete against O.A.C. of Guelph, McMaster and University of Toronto intermediates.London is still without an artificial ice sheet but it is believed that the schedule will be arranged to permit the Mustangs to play home games when natural ice is available. The Western collegians won the championship of the London City Hockey League last year. One of the stars of the club, Bill Hainsworth, will be back this season. He is a son of George Hainsworth, one of the greatest goalers in National Hockey League history. Bill is also a goaler. &#9632;

A SPECIAL PREPARATION FOR SHAVING

SAN FRANCISCO&mdash;He isn&rsquo;t a youngster any more, and the old zip and spring isn&rsquo;t in his legs, but for all that veteran Les Cunningham can still show his San Francisco Shamrocks a few tricks of the trade.Cunningham, 3 4-year-old graduate of 13 seasons in the American Hockey League&mdash;with brief flings as a Chicago Black Hawk and a New York American in the National Hockey League&mdash;now is playing coach of the Shamrocks, and collecting scoring points regularly.The cagey centre who played with Buffalo Bisons two seasons and then shifted to Cleveland Barons for the rest of his A.H.L. career, took over as mentor of the San Francisco entry in the Pacific Coast Hockey League this season and has been doing a sparkling job both on the ice and as a team general.<h2>Top Record Maker</h2>During his 13 winters in the American loop, Cunningham set up a flock of records that are still standing. Among them you can count as the most important his marks of 233 goals, the most ever scored by any player in the league, most assists&mdash;346&mdash;and most total points&mdash;579.Cunningham scored 2 0 or more goals in seven seasons&mdash;standing alone in that department&mdash;and is tied with Lou Trudel and Tommy Burlington, former Cleveland team-mates, as the only players scoring 30 or more goals in three seasons.<h2>Durable Player</h2>His 10 seasons with Cleveland&mdash;broken only for his trips to New York and Chicago&mdash;placed him in a deadlock with Earl Bartholome, a former Baron who now plays with Minneapolis Millers of the United States Hockey League.He led the league in scoring with 64 points in the 1940 - 41 schedule, and was always well up among the leaders.Born at Calgary, Alberta, on October 4, 1913, Cunningham was a star almost from the time he broke into pro hockey with Buffalo of the old International Hockey League in 1934-35. Although he won the scoring championship in 1940-41 with 64 points, his best seasons were 1942-43 when he collected 82, and 1944-45 when he had 80 points.But it was Cunningham&rsquo;s luck that in those years the scorers ran wild, as Wally Kilrea of Hershey chalked up 99 in 19 4 2-43 and Bob Gracie and Bob Walton of Pittsburgh collected 95 each in the latter season.<h2>Another Century</h2>The American Hockey League &ldquo;100 goal&rdquo; club, welcomed a new member recently. Pete Leswick, hard-shooting right wing of the Cleveland Barons, reached the century mark in goal &bull; scoring on November 8 against the Indianapolis Capitals. Leswick joins 26 other American Hockey League players who have performed the feat of scoring 100 or more goals.Norm Locking, a new member of the American Hockey League refereeing staff, was the first player to score 100 goals in the league. Locking notched his 100th marker while a member of the Cleveland Barons during the 1940-41 season. He had formerly played with Syracuse, at that time a team in the American League. &#9632;

The Kimberley clan has a few newcomers who have added considerable punch to an already potent sextet. With a rock-like defence and three good attacking trios, Mr. Redding&rsquo;s team will be tough to stop.The Trail Smoke Eaters currently rest in second place and received a shot in the arm when two ex-Trail juniors, Scott and Secco, caught fire and played like veterans in the last two Smoke Eater tiffs. Coach Ab Cronie is still shuffling his lines but is confident his club will win more than its share.Joe Benoit&rsquo;s Spokane Spartan squad started fast but their heavy schedule has started to catch up to the players and they have dropped their last three starts. The Spoke forwards lead the scoring parade at this writing, which is only natural as they have played twice as many games as the other pucksters.The cellar dwelling Nelson Leafs received help last week when Jimmy Lowe and Harry Barefoot joined the club. Lowe, a speedy right winger, is a former Eddie Shore chattel, while Barefoot performed in the nets for Sherbrooke of the Quebec Provincial League last winter.<h2>The Leaders</h2>Goals: Anderson, Spokane, and Secco, Trail, each with 5.Assists: Porter, Spokane, with 8.

WESTERN CANADA SENIOR

MONTREAL&mdash;The celebrated case of the Larcenous Leaf, or, &ldquo;Wild Bill the Outlaw&rdquo; has been formally and officially closed by President Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League.Bill Ezinicki, battling right winger of Toronto Maple Leafs, who stirred up a storm when he checked New York&rsquo;s Edgar Laprade to the ice November 8 in Toronto, has been cleared of charges levelled at him by Coach Frank Boucher of the Blueshirts.Boucher had asked that Ezinicki be punished for what he termed an illegal check, delivered after the whistle blew, that sent Laprade to hospital with a slight concussion.But President Campbell ruled that, according to reports of the officials present, Ezinicki had stayed strictly within the hockey law. &#9632;

MARITIME SENIOR

ST. THOMAS, ONT.&mdash;In an interview here recently, Jack Adams stated that he thinks movies should be taken of every National Hockey League game so the players can pick out their mistakes and improve their technique.The boss of the Detroit Red Wings said the recent incident between Toronto&rsquo;s Bill Ezinicki and Edgar Laprade of Rangers was soon settled when a motion picture of the tussle was shown. After the picture was shown Ezinicki was cleared of all charges. &#9632;

Adams Makes Appeal

PHILADEPHIA&mdash;Wendell Jamieson is one of the few full-blooded Iroquois Indians in professional hockey today. The 30-year-old right winger was born and raised on the Grand River Lands Indian Reservation in Ontario and it was there that he learned his hockey.Weighing 185 pounds, Jamieson came to the Rockets last summer in a trade with St. Louis for Bill Whittet. This is the seventh team he has played for since he broke into pro ranks in 1941.He started off with the Omaha club then of the American Hockey Association and the following winter he divided his playing time between Providence and Indianapolis. In 1942-43 he landed in Washington and for the following two years he was employed by the Pittsburgh Hornets. In 1945 he was loaned to Providence and last season after being sold to Cleveland was sold again to St. Louis. Last season, with the two clubs, he scored 19 goals and had two assists. &#9632;

Big Chance Given “Wahoo” Jamieson; Joins Seventh Club In Seven Years

OTTAWA&mdash;It was officially announced that National Hockey League and other professional sport organizations will likely have no difficulty in obtaining funds for scheduled games played In the United States.The Foreign Exchange Control restrictions, similar to those effective during the war, and effective from midnight on November 18, make provisions for U.S. funds for business travel.For professionals, their games are considered as their employment. &#9632;
