Clapper’s Freshmen Learn Fast In Hockey’s
Boston’s Prize Rookies Ed Sandford learns something new each game; Ed Harrison realizes he can’t take that extra dribble in the majors; Pete Babando found he had to check his wing much closer; Wally Wilson was hit just as hard by American League defencemen but finds those in the N.H.L. much smarter. Those are a few impressions which the four Bruins’ rookies have gained at the halfway mark of their first season in hockey’s fastest company. The 19-year-old Sandford, who was Eastern Canada’s outstanding junior with St. Mike’s of Toronto last winter, had a difficult time getting his bearings at first.

Bunny Morganson Views the Ontario Scene
There was no denying those Hamilton Tigers once they started rolling. Now the OHA Senior “A” Series champions are in their right spot—first place … And they did it the hard way … Bouncing back after a 4-0 defeat in a Saturday night Owen Sound engagement, Hamilton Tigers roared into Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens and outplayed and outscored the Senior Dukes by a 4-3 margin to tie their Queen City rivals for the leadership.

Phil Watson Cries Against Habs’ Laycoe
VOLUME 1 MONTREAL, JANUARY 21,1948 NUMBER 17 NEW YORK— The New York hockey writers played up the recent battle between the fiery Ranger veteran, Phil Watson and Canadians’ lanky rearguard Hal Laycoe in a humorous manner last week. In the Journal-American in bold-face type it read: “Watson’s Canuck Feud Sparks Ranger N.H.L. Rise.” But instead of dwelling on his two goals against the Canadiens in the game of January 11, the New York scribes penned loving stories on Monsieur Phlllipe’s fight with the likable Habitant defenceman. There were several versions of the Watson-Laycoe fistic exchange…
