Three New Men

<div class="byline">By LES RUSSELL</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0003-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0169/1051747-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">Henry Makes Tobin, Conacher HappyJIM &ldquo;SUGAR&rdquo; HENRYALEX KALETA</figcaption></div>CHICAGO, Ill. &mdash;We know two men in the National Hockey League who are resting easier today. They are Bill Tobin, President of Chicago Black Hawks, and Charlie Conacher, coach of the same outfit. It isn&rsquo;t that these two stalwarts have suddenly discovered a mattress of lasting comfort. What&rsquo;s taken the furrowed lines from their faces is the securing of a hockey player. The man responsible for bringing sunlight into the lives of this pair of harried puck geniuses from the Windy City is a guy called James &ldquo;Sugar&rdquo; Henry, late of New York Rangers and New Haven Ramblers.Henry goes to the Hawks via the trade route which saw Rangers give him up for Emil (The Cat) Francis, a goalkeeper, and Alex Kaleta, left winger. For a long time, the Hawks have been trying in vain to find a netminder able to withstand the tough grind of N.H.L. competition. The puckstopping job has often been reffered to as the Achilles Heel of the Hawks.Since durable Mike Karakas was overtaken by age, the Windy City management has been scouring the hinterlands for a replacement. They finally came up with young Emil Francis, but he failed to fill the bill.Tobin has made no secret of the fact that he has been after Henry for some seasons. Rangers were blessed with two top goalies in Chuck Rayner and Henry. Up to the recent trade, Rangers had turned a cold ear to all Chicago offers.<h2>Search Ends</h2>Thus ended a two-year Chicago search for a goalkeeper. It&rsquo;s believed that the recent car accident which injured Buddy O&rsquo;Connor, Edgar Laprade, Frankie Eddolls and Bill Moe, all of New York Rangers, had something to do with the trade.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0255/1051740-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="1716" height="1157"><figcaption class="caption-body">EMIL (THE CAT) FRANCIS</figcaption></div>Rangers need a fast skating forward to help them until the team returns to full strength, and a winger of Kaleta&rsquo;s experience will fill the bill. Kaleta is a cinch for a regular berth.Emil Francis takes over the nets for New Haven Ramblers, in the American Hockey League.For Henry, the switch means regular play in the N.H.L. During the past few years he&rsquo;s been shunting between New York and New Haven.As far as Francis is concerned, it will take the heavy weight off his shoulders. Papers have been carrying stories for some time now that the Hawks were looking for someone to replace him. Under such conditions it must have been hard for the youngster to concentrate and show his best form.<h2>Allan Cup Champ</h2>Henry, a Winnipeg product, has been with the Ranger organization since 1941-42. He went into the armed forces and rejoined the club in 1945-46.&ldquo;Sugar&rdquo;, as he&rsquo;s known to his pals, played bantam, midget and juvenile in Winnipeg. He spent two years as a junior with Brandon and then moved to Regina for his debut in senior company.That was in 1940-41 when Regina surprised the hockey world by winning the Allan Cup. Henry was sensational that season and was no small factor in the triumph of his team.It was the following year that he made his jump to &ldquo;Big Time&rdquo; and New York Rangers finished in top place at the end of the N.H.L. regular league.Then Jim joined the services and played with Ottawa Commandoes, another Allan Cup winner. He transferred from the Army to the Royal Canadian Navy and finally found his way back to Rangers.During the 1945-46 season he alternated in the Manhattan nets with Chuck Rayner. The following year he was with New Haven Ramblers. Last semester, when Rayner was seriously injured early in the schedule. Henry took over and it was his workmanlike chore which helped take Rangers into the playoffs where they finally lost out to Detroit Red Wings.During his time with the Blueshirts, he played 108 contests in the N.H.L. He allowed 347 goals while compiling five shutouts. In playoffs he worked six games, had 13 goals blasted past him and blanked the opposition once.securing Alex Kaleta, Rangers have a boy who knows his way around any rink. A hustler, Alex is a big fellow who likes to bounce the boys around. He lacks nothing when it comes to courage.Born with a fine sense of humor. Kaleta seldom if ever misses a game. He simply seems to be able to mix it up and yet avoid serious injury.He turned pro with the Black Hawks back in 19 41-42 and missed three seasons while in the armed services. He rejoined the Hawks in 19 45-46 and has been with them ever since. During his time in N.H.L. company, he has netted 60 goals and assisted in 84 others.Born in Canmore, Alberta on November 29, 1919, he was a standout amateur. He played senior with Lethbridge, Calgary and Regina. He should be a welcome addition to the Gothamites.Emil Francis worked his heart out with the Black Hawks, but it was a losing cause. Never one to back up from any shot or opponent, the load was too much for the yougster to carry.He moves exceptionally fast. His swan dives and splits are something to see. The fact that he jumps around with speed is responsible for his nickname &ldquo;The Cat&rdquo;. The first five games he played after joining the Hawks in February 1947, saw his team win three, lose one and tie one.In the 73 games he worked in the N.H.L. Emil allowed 287 goals while recording one shutout. &#9632;

Chicago Hawk Officials Initiated Into “Knights Of The Arctic Circle’

He&rsquo;s ready and fit for the 1948-49 grind. Now that his best pal, Jim Henry, once a stern rival for his job, has been traded to Chicago by Rangers, the whole goalkeeping load will fall on the shoulders of &ldquo;Prince Charlie.&rdquo; Above he&rsquo;s seen getting ready for a game as Coach Frankie Boucher looks him over.</figcaption></div>MONTREAL, Que. &mdash;During the long years of professional hockey, there have been any number of rough-and-tumble players. As time passes, these individuals have become fewer. Today in the N.H.L. one of the most durable stick wield ers is Erwin Groves (Murph) Chamberlain, better known as &ldquo;Hard Rock.&rdquo;At 34, Murph is still going a good lick for Montreal Canadiens, as a throwback from the rugged days of hockey. More than one opponent has spent time following a game against Chamberlain counting tne lumps which the aggressive &ldquo;Hard Rock&rdquo; planted. Always full of color with his vigorous form, Murph has exchanged blows with most of the players in the National Hockey League. He doesn&rsquo;t win&rsquo;em all, but he&rsquo;s willing to stand up and slug it out regardless of the results.Chamberlain is a good solid workman. He&rsquo;s not known so much for ability to stickhandle and weave, but more for his flaming. spirit and intense desire to win.When the chips are down there&rsquo;s not a more dangerous man in the league. Many a time his last minute goal has turned the tide in favor of his club.<h2>Share Of Injuries</h2>Wiry, red - headed Murph has had more than his share of injuries. They range from broken legs to slight cuts. He moves in on anybody without fear and is ready to battle for what he thinks are his rights.Some say it wouldn&rsquo;t be a bad idea if Chamberlain were made a member of the Foreign Ministers &ldquo;Big Four&rdquo;. He&rsquo;s no appeaser and makes it clear where he stands. He usually is to be found carrying his stick high and loves to mix it up.During his 12 years in the N.H.L. he&rsquo;s played for four teams: Canadiens, Toronto, Boston and Americans. He started out with the Maple Leafs after scouts had watched him play with Sudbury in 1936-37 when that club won the Allan Cup. He was with Toronto for three seasons when they let him go because he was &ldquo;too tough to handle&rdquo;<h2>Moved Around</h2>He found his way to Montreal and the Canadiens in 1940-41 and from there moved over to Washington of the American Hockey League. He took part in only a few games and spent the remainder of the year jumping from Canadiens to Americans.This was followed by a season with Boston Bruins and then back to Canadiens where he&rsquo;s been ever since.Blessed with a rare sense of humor, Murph is well liked by most. They respect his flaming spirit. This season Coach Dick Irvin is hoping for the veteran to have a great year.Murph is married and has an 11-year-old-daughter and a nine-year-old son. During the summer he takes care of his farm. Like Old Man River, Chamberlain just keeps rolling along. Even at his age, he seems to have plenty of sound, good hockey still left in him. &#9632;

‘Hard Rock’ Chamberlain Colorful And Durable

DETROIT, Mich. &mdash;Detroit&rsquo;s Tommy Ivan, coach of the 1948 National Hockey League All-Stars, has gathered a power-packed 18-man team to oppose the Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs, in the second annual N.H.L. All-Star game to be played at Chicago on November 3.Besides the First and Second All-Star Teams as selected by the six N.H.L. coaches at the close of last season, Ivan has added such puck-chasing luminaries as Milt Schmidt and Woody Dumart of Boston Bruins. Bill Durnan and Butch Bouchard of Montreal Canadiens, Edgar Laprade and Tony Leswick of New York Rangers, Doug Bentley of Chicago Black Hawks and Gordie Howe from his own Detroit Red Wings.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-0112/1053246-1-eng-US/f0001-012.jpg" title="f0001-01" width="556" height="856"><figcaption class="caption-body">Guides StarsTOMMY IVAN, COACH</figcaption></div>Two members of the Official National Hockey League All-Stars First and Second teams as picked last Spring will not be performing for the All-Stars on November 3. They are Goalie Turk Broda and Center Buddy O&rsquo;Connor. Broda, who was named to the goalkeeper&rsquo;s post on the First All-Star Team is a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs and will line up with the world champions. O&rsquo;Connor, New York Rangers&rsquo; slick center, winner of both the Hart and Lady Byng Trophies last season, held the center position on the Second All-Star Team. However, he is sidelined with injuries received in a recent auto crash and will not return to the hockey wars for several weeks yet.<h2>SHARE GOALIE DUTIES</h2>As a substitute for Broda&rsquo;s absence, Coach Ivan will call on Durnan, who was rated third among the loop&rsquo;s goalies last year. Durnan will share the goalkeeping assignment with Frank Brim-sek of Boston who was selected to the Second All-Star Team last Spring. Milt Schmidt, Boston&rsquo;s terrific center, will fill in for O&rsquo;Connor.Just to refresh your memories, the First and Second Official National Hockey League Teams for 1947-48 were as - follows: First Team &mdash; Goal, Turk Broda, Toronto; Defense, Bill Quackenbush and Jack Stewart, Detroit; Center, Elmer Lach, Canadiens; Right Wing, Maurice Richard, Canadiens and Left Wing, Ted Lindsay, Detroit. Second Team &mdash; Goal, Frank Brimsek, Boston; Defense, Kenny Reardon, Canadiens and Neil Colville, Rangers; Center, Buddy O&rsquo;Connor, Rangers; Right Wing, Bud Poile, Chicago and Left Wing, Gaye Stewart, Chicago.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-028/1053239-1-eng-US/f0001-022.jpg" title="f0001-02" width="529" height="793"><figcaption class="caption-body">They&rsquo;re Ready Behind The BluelineJACK STEWART, D</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-035/1053232-1-eng-US/f0001-032.jpg" title="f0001-03" width="499" height="796"><figcaption class="caption-body">FRANK BRIMSEK, G</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-042/1053225-1-eng-US/f0001-042.jpg" title="f0001-04" width="523" height="802"><figcaption class="caption-body">BILL DURNAN, G</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-05/1053218-1-eng-US/f0001-052.jpg" title="f0001-05" width="499" height="808"><figcaption class="caption-body">BILL QUACKENBUSH, D</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-06/1053211-1-eng-US/f0001-062.jpg" title="f0001-06" width="532" height="772"><figcaption class="caption-body">First Line Of AttackTED LINDSAY, LW</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-07/1053204-1-eng-US/f0001-072.jpg" title="f0001-07" width="505" height="778"><figcaption class="caption-body">ELMER LACH, C</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-08/1053197-1-eng-US/f0001-082.jpg" title="f0001-08" width="532" height="778"><figcaption class="caption-body">MAURICE RICHARD, RW</figcaption></div>The team was picked by the six N.H.L. coaches. The coaches were not allowed to select men from their own team and points were awarded on the basis of five points for a first choice, three points for a second choice and one point for a third choice. A perfect score was 25 points, and was obtained by only one player, Ted Lindsay, Detroit. The Red Wings&rsquo; prolific scoring left wing topped N.H.L. goal scorers last year with 33.Quite a dumber of players on Tommy Ivan&rsquo;s All-Stars performed in a similar role at Toronto on October 11 a year ago, when the N.H.L. All-Stars coached by Montreal&rsquo;s Dick Irvin nosed out the Toronto Leafs 4-3 in a thrilling, rough and ready contest, to officially start off the 1947-48 puck campaign.<h2>REPEAT REFORMERS</h2>Durnan and Brimsek, goalies for the 1948 crew, divided net-minding honors in Toronto last year for the All-Stars. As a spare twine tender for this year&rsquo;s game, Coach Ivan has selected Harry Lumley of the Red Wings, Bill Quackenbush, Jack Stewart, Kenny Reardon, Butch Bouchard, Milt Schmidt, Woody Dumart, Tony Leswick, Edgar Laprade, Maurice Richard, Doug Bentley and Ted Lindsay all played for the N.H.L, All-Stars against Toronto last year in the first of these annual classics.Max Bentley, now a member of Toronto Maple Leafs, played for the All-Stars a year ago. This year he will be one of the chief offensive forces the All-Stars will have to repulse.Colville, Lach, Stewart, Poile and Howe will be making their initial appearance in a National League All-Star game. Stewart and Poile both played for Toronto in last year&rsquo;s All-Star tilt.<h2>LINES NOT SET YET</h2>Ivan was not certain just who he would team up on the forward lines but the trios more than likely will be as follows: Elmer Lach centering Ted Lindsay and Maurice Richard on one line; Milt Schmidt playing between Bud Poile and Gaye Stewart on another triumvirate, and either Doug Bentley or Edgar Laprade centering Gordie Howe and Tony Leswick or Woody Dumart on a line. Coach Ivan has plenty of scoring power in his forwards and cap throw out any three players together and be assared that has a potent attack on the ice.Quackenbush and Stewart will undoubtedly start the game on defense, with Reardon and Colville forming the other defensive duo. Bouchard will be the fifth defender for the Stars.<h2>MINIMUM OF THREE</h2>Under National League regulations the loop&rsquo;s All-Star Team must have at least three players from every club in the circuit. A team can have more than three players on the All-Stars but not less than three.Montreal Canadiens have five of their players strutting their stuff for all-Stars this year. Canadiens placed four members on the team last year. Detroit Red Wings have four players on the All-Star Team that are sure to see action with Goalie Lumley a possibility. If Harry gets in the game he will be the fifth Wing to play for the Stars in the 1948 National League spectacle.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-09/1053190-1-eng-US/f0001-092.jpg" title="f0001-09" width="511" height="1010"></div> &#9632;

18 To See Action In All-Star Tilt Nov. 3

<div class="byline">By H. P. ZINCK</div>CHICAGO, Ill &mdash;From a quarter century of observing hockey players and their antics the author has reached certain conclusions anent the more colorful performers who have shown how to break the rules, break heads, score goals or frustrate opponents from scoring.We will lead off with Reginald &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Horner, the former Toronto Maple Leaf, who holds the record, 1254 minutes, for enforced resting in the penalty box. Many of you readers will recall his pathetic collapse when Elwyn &ldquo;Doc&rdquo; Romnes took a stick-swing (wide by at least six feet) at his noggin. However, it was this same Horner, who when &ldquo;Ace&rdquo; Bailey of the Leafs suffered a skull fracture from an underhand check by Eddie Shore, who skated up to Shore and landed a haymaker on his jaw. Horner earned much of his bad man reputation because he lacked the blocking finess of say, Lionel Conacher of whom we will tell of late in this article. &ldquo;Old Poison&rdquo; Nelson Stewart, the most prolific scorer of all time, and his sidekick Reginald &ldquo;Hooley&rdquo; Smith, also a member of the exclusive &ldquo;200 Goal Club,&rdquo; who rank fifth and third among hockey&rsquo;s so-called bad men with 942 and 1003 minutes in penalties respectively, were guys who backed up from nothing that wore skates. Yet In their first few years of visits to Chicago they seldom left the lobby of their hotel.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0169/1051654-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="504" height="861"><figcaption class="caption-body">&ldquo;Big Train&rdquo;LIONEL CONACHER</figcaption></div>The author in company with Joseph C. Farrell, publicator of the Black Hawks, once had&rsquo; a dinner date with &ldquo;Dune&rdquo; Monro, when that fine gentleman (off the ice) was manager of the Montreal Maroons. After dinner &ldquo;Dune&rdquo; took us up to meet Nels and &ldquo;Hooley.&rdquo; We found these rugged individualists reading magazines featuring gangster stories. After introductions were out of the way they asked Farrell about the gangsters in Chicago. Joe gave them both barrels and then asked if they would care to make a tour of the tough districts: the boys elected to stay in their peaceful and secure hotel quarters.<h2>A Famous Gag</h2>Mr. Farrell likes to tell of the trick taxicab ride he gave a Montreal hockey scribe The escapade was staged in the era when gangsters made the headlines in the Chicago papers. Farrell had entertained the writer at dinner, during which he had badgered Farrell about the bad reputation the &ldquo;hoods&rdquo; were giving Chicago, and also asked Joe if the reputation was deserved. Joe explained that in some districts the boys still played for keeps. The Montrealer asked where the districts were located, and Joe told him that they had to pass through one on the way to the Stadium. Before leaving the hotel Joe arranged with two cabbies to stage an act. As the first car which contained the scribe and Joe started for the Stadium via Polk. Halsted. Taylor and Racine Streets it was followed by a second&rsquo; cab whose driver was instructed to cause the engine to back fire loudly and often. The writer was quite relieved when the Stadium came into view, not that he was afraid but he was uneasy because he could not see his (imaginary) tormentors.<h2>Tough Competitor</h2>The late &ldquo;Chuck&rdquo; Gardiner was a tough competitor; so tough that despite having wounds requiring 28 stitches in his head, he insisted on playing in an important game. So belligerent was Gardiner that in the Stanley Cup finals of 1933-34 he actually exchanged punches with his team mate Johnnie Gottselig when Johnnie questioned Gardiner&rsquo;s criticism of his (Gottselig&rsquo;s) playing. Once&rsquo; outside the rink Gardiner was a different person he was a perfect host, possessed a good tenor voice and was a singer of sentimental ballads.Lionel Conacher, who was a team mate of Gardiner&rsquo;s in 1933-34, was a big man who had the happy faculty of being the right man in the right place at the right time and knew how to use his fists. Yet he seldom resorted to fisticuffs &mdash; just by being on the ice he seemed to take the fight out of the opposition and he acted the big-brother role while a member of the Black Hawks and the Montreal Maroons.<h2>Great Bodychecker</h2>Lionel Hitchman, the greatest body checker to perform in hockey in the last quarter century, was tough and rough, yet he advocated doing away with the referee who called penalties. It was Hitchman&rsquo;g psychology that no player would take undue liberties if he knew that justice would be meted out at the hands or sticks of the injured player&rsquo;s team mates.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0259/1051647-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="532" height="905"><figcaption class="caption-body">&ldquo;Old Poison&rdquo;NELS STEWART</figcaption></div>While the author was outlining this yarn he had the pleasure of renewing his acquaintanceship with Art Ross, manager of the Boston Bruins, who was making his first trip to Chicago in six years.

Happy Birthday To You

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. &mdash;A Finnish-born hockey player, who needed only one season in the American League to establish himself as one of the circuit&rsquo;s most aggressive defensemen, is among the newcomers slated to help Indianapolis battle for premier honors in the 1948-49 campaign.He is Conrad Waikko (Joe) Lund, who was obtained by the Caps during the summer in a deal with the St. Louis Flyers.Joe and his older brother, Pentti, who is getting a National League trial with New York Rangers this fall because of his steady play last season for Hershey, were born in Helsingfors, Finland.With their parents, they moved to Port Arthur, Ont., when Joe was only four years old, and he started to play hockey as soon as he was big enough to win a position on a playground team.<h2>Likes Boxing</h2>During the summers he shifted his attention to baseball, golf and boxing&mdash;he still is willing to trade punches with anyone who &ldquo;chooses&rdquo; him on the ice &mdash; but hockey always has remained his first choice in the field of sports.When the St. Louis Flyers trained at Port Arthur four years ago, in preparation for the team&rsquo;s American League debut, he showed sufficient promise to merit a trial with a strong junior aggregation and two years later&mdash;in the fall of 1946&mdash;he signed a professional contract a few days after his 19th birthday.St. Louis sent him to Dallas that year as a rookie defenseman, but he also played at left wing in several games before moving up to the Flyers last fall as a regular defenseman. He was Bingo Kamp, man&rsquo;s partner during the first part of the campaign and later he was paired with jack Shewchu.In spite of his aggressiveness, Joe spent only 55 minutes in the penalty box and his earlier experience as a left wing helped him collect 11 goals and 13 assists for a total of 24 points. Because of that record, plus the fact that the Caps have an abundance of defensemen this year, Joe has been used frequently as a forward during the daily practice sessions and may start the season as one of the Caps&rsquo; regular wingmen.He celebrated his 21st birthday Sept. 15, is six feet tall, weighs 178 pounds and is unmarried. During the summer he worked in a sheet metal shop, of which he is part owner. &#9632;

Finland Represented In Hockey By Lunds

Alex Kaleta, recently traded to New York Rangers by Chicago Black Hawks, was named &ldquo;Seabiscuit&rdquo; by his former teammates. One morning at the breakfast table the players were busily engaged in reading the sport pages.One of the Hawks was reading of the exploits of that great thoroughbred, &ldquo;Seabiscuit&rdquo; and then remarked aloud to the rest of the players. &ldquo;Boy, that &lsquo;Seabiscuit&rsquo; sure is good&rdquo;.&ldquo;Ka leta, who had his nose buried in a paper, heard the remark, and without batting an eyelash bawled out, &ldquo;Is that so, I&rsquo;ll have two of them.&rdquo; &#9632;

He is no longer easy to ruffle, and he usually manages to get a piece of the attacker who tries to wheel around his side. One of his most admirable traits, and one that serves to give his team a high morale, is an unquenchable spirit to win. He is forever giving his teammates a pep talk, especially when the chips are down. No little credit for bringing out the finer points in &ldquo;The Moose&rdquo; can be attributed to his handling by the astute and capable Miller ManagerCoach, W. O. &ldquo;Bill&rdquo; Cook, of New York Rangers&rsquo; fame.In 61 games in which he participated in the 6 6-game U.S.H.L. schedule last year, Sherritt sniped one goal, assisted in twelve others and spent but 3 3 minutes in the penalty box.The veteran Miller defenseman broke into pro hockey with the Detroit Red Wngs of the National Hockey League. He was scouted by the Red Wings while captaining the Portage LaPralrie Terriers in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. Before turning professional, the Ex-Terrier had the pleasure of performing before royalty. That was in the 1939-40 season while playing for Percy Nicklin&rsquo;s Harringay Greyhounds in the British Ice Hockey Association. The Greyhounds won the championship at the Harringay Arena in London that year, and the King and Queen, Lady Astor, Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden were numbered among those who were in attendance at the final game.After entering the pro lists &ldquo;The Moose&rdquo; was transferred by the Red Wings to the Indianapolis Caps of the American Hockey League, and during the two seasons he spent with them, 1943-44 and 1944-45, he further exemplified himself as a colorful performer by carrying off the popular award In both seasons.Just turned 27 and a new recruit to the ever-swelling ranks of the benedicts this past summer, Sherritt is looking forward to cnalking up an even better record in the forthcoming season than he did in tne last. &#9632;

DETROIT, Mich. &mdash;Coach Tommy Ivan is ready to start his sophomore year as mastermind of Detroit Red Wings. Usually, coaches are not too eager to talk about their club at the start of a new season, but Ivan did admit that he is well satisfied with his team.Tommy claims that the Red Wings look better at this stage than they did a year ago. Add to that a young, fast moving outfit and you&rsquo;ll see that maybe Ivan has something to smile over.Only Jack Stewart and Syd Abel have reached the 30-mark. Ivan figures that with his array of youngsters he can set a fast clip for the full sixty minutes and make opponents wear themselves out.The way it shapes up right now, the. Red Wings should have no trouble making a playoff berth. In fact, nearly all the experts are picking them for either first or second position.Few teams can boast the balance of Detroit. In Lumley they are well protected in goal. Jack Stewart, Bill Quackenbush, Doug Mc-Caig and Leo Reise form one of the finest defense group in the circuit.Up front the Wings will have four strong lines. Syd Abel, Marty Pavelich and Pete Horeck appear to be one attacking unit while another is composed of Max McNab, Gordon Howe and Ted Lindsay.Ivan will also be able to toss over the boards a line with Don Morrison at centre flanked by Jim Conacher and Eddie Bruneteau. &#9632;

Gagnon spends most of the months of every year chasing promising hockey youngsters both in the United States and Canada.Providence has a working agreement with Seattle of the Pacific Coast League; with the Owen Sound team of the Ontario Senior Hockey League and with Trois Rivieres sextet of the Quebec Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; Hockey League. Jack Toupin, a notable figure in the doings of the Rhode Island Reds in the past, directs the &ldquo;Three Bivers&rdquo; team.Johnny was a standout with Montreal Canadiens during the &rsquo;30&rsquo;s. His fast skating style won for him the name &ldquo;Black Cat&rdquo;.He was bom in Chicoutimi, Quebec, June 8, 1905. During a ten year span in the National Hockey League, Gagnon played with Boston Bruins and New York Americans as well as Canadiens.When old time players are discussed you&rsquo;ll always hear the name of Johnny Gagnon. Never afraid of any opponent, Johnny would fly up and down his right wing spot in a manner which usually had the crowd on its feet.His record shows that he scored 120 goals and assisted in 141 more for an N.H.L. total of 261 points. He spent 295 minutes sitting it out in the penalty box.As scout, Johnny should prove of great value to Providence. He has the background to recognize good hockey talent when he sees it. &#9632;

Harvey Fraser finished third, scoring 45 goals and assisting 52 times for 97 points.

THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY WEEKLYFounded October 1, 1947Published byHockey News Company, 603A Sun Life Buillding.Montreal, QueYearly Subscription price $2.50 in Canada - $3.50 in U.S.A.Authorized as second class mail, post Office Department, Ottawa.Printed in CanadaVol. OCTOBER 20, 1948 No. 3Elsewhere in this issue, there is a brief article in which President Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League outlines the benefits which the sport of hockey can bring to each community where it is played. In short, those benefits are in supplying public entertainment, in building health and in moulding character of the youngsters, youths and older men taking part.That is a point well taken by the N.H.L. chieftain, since in the communities of-Canada and the United States where hockey has gained a firm foothold, there is perhaps no stronger unifying force to bring the people of that community together than is supplied by hockey.One has only to look, in the professional hockey scene, at the tremendous civic interest manifested by the &ldquo;Booster&rdquo; clubs, particularly in the American Hockey League centers and some National League cities. Here, we find the fans and followers of the local team teams have been drawn together with a strong bond into tightly-knit, enthusiastic organizations which override all religious, racial and sectional barriers. Only one thing is placed uppermost &mdash; the well-being and success of the local hockey team, and the paramount position of the community.There is something about the speed and action, the thrilling contact of hockey, that makes its fans the most red-blooded and rabidly enthusiastic of any sport. Just what it is they can&rsquo;t explain, these new followers of a snort which was introduced to many United States cities only a few short years ago. They only know that it&rsquo;s there, and that they&rsquo;ve been bitten but good by the hockey bug.Hockey thus provides entertainment &mdash; plus &mdash; as well as contributing in large measure to the more intangible thing that is community feeling. And, in so doing, the game also reaches further into the everyday lives of the citizens. Because from these loyal fans and the Booster clubs who follow the professional teams, are recruited willing workers to help promote the game further among the small fry of the community.Junior, juvenile, midget and school hockey groups have had a mushroom-like growth in many United States cities through the eagerness and enthusiasm of the newly-recruited hockey bugs and the far-seeing action of hockey officials, who realize that it is among these younger ones that the future growth and prosperity of the game will have its start.<h2>HEALTHFUL INTEREST FOR KIDS</h2>Hockey, as has been proved in so many Canadian cities where the &ldquo;Pee-Wee&rdquo; and other juvenile organizations have had remarkable success in past years, can do much to better the lot of the boys taking part. It truly builds health and character among the participants, keeps them off the street and awav from undesirable companions, and does its unsung but important part in building future citizens who will be a credit to their community and their country.Kids who have the chance to get out on the open-airrinks or a dreamed-about opportunity to cavort on the self-same ice surface where their heroes of the professional hockey world stickhandle and skate, won&rsquo;t be looking for chances to get into mischief somewhere else. All they want is some place to play hockey, and they&rsquo;ll be content doing that for hours on end &mdash; as long as the ice is made available to them.In smaller centers, the unifying force of hockey is even more notable than in the larger cities. For, while there may not be in existence organized Boosters Clubs as such &mdash; the whole community becomes one vast Booster Club in itself during the winter months.Interest and enthusiasm rises to fever pitch as the local fans follow the fortunes of their representatives in the seniors, juniors, juveniles and so on down the line. Intercity and inter-town rivalry at such times becomes almost bitter in its intensity, but for the most part it&rsquo;s a good-humored enmity that passes with the spring thaws and the final melting of the ice surface in the home-town arena.Yet, as this puck madness runs its course during the winter months, it serves its useful and valuable purpose in creating an awareness of community interests, the willingness to put everything else aside to &ldquo;root&rdquo; for the home club and unselfish insistence on doing everything possible to help the youngsters along by promoting teams, supplying equipment and so on.Yes, it&rsquo;s something that just can&rsquo;t be counted in dollars and cents, this &ldquo;hockey spirit&rdquo; that grips Canadian and United States centers every year at this time, and carries on until the late months of spring when the last whistles are blown and the prized silverware trophies are awarded to their new owners, who will keep them in a place of honor until the next spring when the same process is repeated. &#9632;

It&rsquo;s the only way I know of keeping up to date on what&rsquo;s going on in the hockey world. Let&rsquo;s have more features. Those in the initial issue were swell.George Anderson Brandon, Man.<h2>HAS A COMPLAINT</h2>Dear Sir,I know you can&rsquo;t get down on your knees to all subscribers to THE HOCKEY NEWS, but I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed every issue during the 1947-48 season.But, I have a complaint. I was disappointed to notice that your paper did not give the Q.S.H.L. much of a write-up last year and there were very few pictures of players, and yet your paper is printed in Montreal.I sure expected more support for the Quebec Senior League &mdash; so how about this season? Let&rsquo;s give the Q.S.H.L. the spotlight.Stories about where the boys came from and notes on the league would be tops. The Ottawa Senators are again going to hit the high spots.W. E. Brooks Ottawa, Ont.(THE HOCKEY NEWS cover all. hockey. It&rsquo;s true that our paper is printed in Montreal, but it goes all over the world. We therefore, Mr. Brooks, try to give each part of the puck-chasing world something of interest to read. We admit that the Q.S.H.L; is a fine senior loop, hut not the only one. We&rsquo;ll do our best to give you as much done on the Q.S.H.L. as possible, but we must also be fair to other leagues. I&rsquo;m sure you&rsquo;ll agree.)<h2>DEFENDS DURNAN</h2>Dear Sir.Congrats on your fine paper. I certainly enjoy getting a hockey paper during the summer as I think hockey is the best sport of them all.I was very interested in an article written on Bill Durnan by a Chicago writer, although I think Toronto&rsquo;s Turk Broda is the best goalie.I do think Durnan is a pretty good goaltender, too. He received a raw deal near the end of last season though. My, some fans can be dirty, and some of the articles which appeared in the papers about the last game were disgusting. A player like Durnan getting such a let-down by the fans was really heart-breaking. If fans can&rsquo;t take a loss once in a while they might as well not be hockey fans and certainly can&rsquo;t be called good sports.Could you run a picture of Frank McCool, a swell goalkeeper, in your paper? I know he is not playing now but I shall always remember him in the Toronto nets.Keep up the good work, your paper is sensational.Jerry Walker Toronto, Ont.(We&rsquo;ll do the best we can to get a picture of Frankie McCool in one of our future issues).<h2>CROSSWORDS (continued)</h2>Dear Sir:&mdash;I have noticed a few letters pro and con about the crossword puzzles. For my part I find them most Interesting, and hope you will continue to publish same. The help Increase my knowledge about the game. Keep up the good work&rsquo;.Guy Lan gill Vancouver, B.C.Dear Sir:&mdash;You ask in your last issue for ideas about the crossword puzzle. Well, I would much rather have stories about hockey than try to figure out a crossword.Johnny Smithers Toronto, Ont.<h2>WESTERN BEEF</h2>Dear Sir:&mdash;While I think a great deal of THE HOCKEY NEWS, I&rsquo;m disappointed that you do not carry more about amateur hockey in the west. I know you get the odd story about our teams, but it seems to me that you print too much about the N.H.L. and the A.H.L. After all, they get their players from amateur ranks. How about it?Wally Hall Winnipeg, Man.(The season&rsquo;s young yet, Wally. As the N.H.L. and A.H.L. usually start well in advance of most amateur groups; we naturally try to keep the public informed about them. We are going to give plenty of publicity to all hockey teams and are sure you&rsquo;ll find your favorites included.)Dear Sir:&mdash;The other day a few of us were sitting around talking about hockey in the old days. The question of which was the first American city to have their team win the Stanley Cup came up and none of us knew the right answer although we thought it was probably New York. Could you tell us?How about more stories of men who have now retired from the games? like Eddic shore, Harvey Jackson, Buzz Boll and a few more?Steve Czowski Edmonton, Alta.(You&rsquo;re wrong about New York being the first American City to win the Stanley Cup. It was a club from Seattle, Wash., called the Seattle Metropolitans. They did it back in 1917 when they took three out of four games against Montreal Canadiens in a series placed at the coast.)ROOTIN&rsquo;-TOOTIN&rsquo; FANDear Sir:&mdash;I received my first copy of your paper THE HOCKEY NEWS when I attended the Variety Club game here. Congratulations to the Leafs for their fine work in this field. I do certainly intend to subscribe to your paper in the very near future. I knew it was being published but I could never find out just how to go about getting it.I should like to state here that Toronto is not my home town, but that I am working here and intend to see as many Maple Leaf games as possible. I read about Ted Kennedy having a strong rooter in a certain Mr. Arnott at the games. Well, I have not had the pleasure of hearing him, but I might say that Kennedy Is not going to be the only player cheered on.You see, my favorite is Howie Meeker and believe me I am going to yell for him. Tell him if he hears &ldquo;Come on How-e-e-e-!&rdquo; that will be me and I promise to yell it as hard as I can every time I&rsquo;m at the Gardens.By the way, my home town is Sydenham, Ont.&ldquo;Oak&rdquo; Shillington Toronto, Ont.<h2>ROOKIE SNIPERS</h2>Dear Sir:&mdash;I enjoy reading THE HOCKEY NEWS very much and find it most interesting. Last week I attended the N.H.L. game between Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers. In it, George Robertson, a rookie playing his first game, scored a goal after about three minutes of play. Can you tell me what is the fastest time a goal has been scored by a rookie?Art Biglow Montreal, Que.(As far as we know, Gus Bodnar, playing his first game with Toronto Maple Leafs back in October, 80, 1943 sniped the fastest goal for a rookie. He turned the trick in 15 seconds after the opening whistle. Incidentally, it was against New York Rangers on Toronto ice.)Dear Sir:&mdash;For years I was a great fan of Red Dutton when he played and coached in our city. There was never a dull moment when Red was around. Could you tell me his N.H.L. playing record?Jean Anderson New York. N.Y,(Yes, Jean, Red was a colorful defenseman and coach to say the least. He started out in the N.H.L. with Montreal Maroons and was with them four years. He then took over New York Americans and did his puck chasing for that club six years. He scored 29 goals in his N.H.L. playing days and assited in 67 others for a total of 96 points. He also spent 871 minutes in the penalty box.)Dear Sir,On a trip to Montreal last winter I was able to see one of your big-time games at the Forum, Canadiens against Rangers. I had never seen anything like it before. Not that our West Coast League doesn&rsquo;t provide us with good hockey, but they just haven&rsquo;t got that &lsquo;big-time&rsquo; ability to put on a good show.My point is this. Why doesn&rsquo;t the National Hockey League have some of its games move west? To cities like Winnipeg, Calgary, and my home town Vancouver?I know most westerners would give their right arms to see a big league game and l&rsquo;m certain there would be enough fans to provide plenty at the box office.Nelson Kennedy. Vancouver, B.C.Well, Nels, Clarence Campbell, president of the NHL, announced just a short time ago that the loop was looking for one or two more teams to expand the league. Maybe a couple of your larger western cities could provide the answer.Dear Sir,I read with interest your article on young Eddie Dorohoy describing his practice tactics among older Canadiens players and I see now in the papers he made the Montreal team but not a mention of how he was shaping up against other big league teams. Presuming you&rsquo;ve seen the opening Canadien games, could you give us your opinion. Sid Chesley. Winnipeg, Man.(Although he saw a little action in the opening game against New York there is little doubt that he will be a useful addition to the team after lie has played a few games in NHL company.)Dear Sir,Is it possible for player to win either the Lady Byng Trophy or the Hart Trophy along with the Calder Trophy? If it is possible has it ever been done?I enjoy reading THE HOCKEY NEWS as do the rest of my family. Kep up the good work and let&rsquo;s have more features on American Hockey League players.James Scott. Vancouver, B.C.(Yes, it is possible for a player to win more than one award. In 1938-39, Frankie Brimsek, Boston Bruin goalie, won both the Calder and Vezina trophies).Dear Sir,Did Jimmy Henry and Chuck Rayner ever play against one another before they joined the National Hockey League? One of my pals claim that they faced each other in senior hockey when Henry played goal for Regina Rangers, the year they won the Allan Cup. Andy Cunnighanm.Halifax, N.S.(Yes, Henry and Rayner did play amateur hockey against one another, but not in senior hockey. It was when Rayner was guarding the nets for Kenora Juniors and Henry held a similar spot with Brandon. They never met in son for company &#9632;

Montreal Canadiens are holding second spot with a l-all tie against Rangers and an 8-2 victory over Chicago.Boston, Bruins caused a mild surprise when they handed the champion Toronto Maple beats a 4-1 setback in Toronto Saturday.Due to great goaltending by Chuck Rayner, Rangers were able to come from behind in the dying minutes of the their game against Montreal and knot the count for a split in points.Canadiens had a wide edge on the play, but were unable to find a weakness in Rayner&rsquo;s blocking. Rookie George Robertson netted for the Habitants while Eddie Kullman replied for Rangers.<h3>First Shutout</h3>It fell to Harry Luniey of Detroit to record the season&rsquo;s first shutout. He applied the whitewash brush to Rangers as his mutes ran wild for seven goals. Ted Lindsay sniped two goals to show why he made the all-star team last season.There was never much doubt about who would win. Detroit outsmarted the weakened Rangers and the issue was never in doubt.In winning their opening game against Chicago, the Detroit outfit faced excellent goaltending by Jimmy &ldquo;Sugar&rdquo; Henry, recently trailed to the Black Hawks by Rangers in return for Emil (The Cat) Frances and forward Alex Kaieta. It was mainly the work of Henry which kept the score front mounting.<h3>Penalties Costly</h3>Penalties piayeu an importance part in the Boston-Toronto contest.

Rangers, playing without the services of Buddy O&rsquo;Connor, Edgar Laprade and Frankie Eddolls, all injured in. a car accident, were forced to ice a makeshift squad. They were outplayed by the Habitants, but Rayner was the difference. Rookie George Robertson sent Canadiens away to their lead in the first period when he converted a pass from Elmer Lach. When it looked as if that counter would be the only one scored, Eddie Kullman snapped up a face-of pass from Nick Mickoski and flipped it past Durnan.Rangers: Goal, Rayner; defense, Shero, Colvile; center, RaMgh; wings, Kullman, Leswick; susbs.: Stanowskl, Morris, Lund, Mickoski, Fisher, Albright, Kaleta, Moe.Canadiens: Goal, Durnan; defense, Bouchard, Reardon; center, Reay; wings, Carveth, Dussault; subs.: Lach, Richard, Robertson, Harmon, Harvey, &lsquo;Fillion Chamberlain,.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

An interesting sidelight on the recent trade which sent Jim &ldquo;Sugar&rdquo; Henry from New York Rangers to Chicago Black Hawks for Alex Kaleta and Emile Francis, is a report in the Sunday edition of the Chicago Sun-Times by Ted Damata on another proposed deal.Damata wrote that Harry Lumley, goalie for Detroit and defenseman Doug McCaig, also of the Red Wings, were offered to the Black Hawks for Bill Mosienko, George Gee and Alex Kaleta. Neither club would confirm the rumored trade.Then on Monday morning came the news that Rangers and Hawks had finally reached an agreement for goalie Jim Henry. &#9632;

Why Not Swap teams?

Mainly for his outstanding work against Montreal Canadiens in the opening National Hockey League game, &ldquo;Chuck&rdquo; Rayner, goalkeeper for New York Rangers, has been named by THE HOCKEY NEWS as the league&rsquo;s top player for the first week of the season.The tall, black-haired New York goalie robbed Canadiens time and time again as his club managed to gain a l-all draw.Without the services of Buddy O&rsquo;Connor, Edgar Laprade, and Frankie Eddolls, all injured in a recent car accident, it remained for Rayner to turn in a mid-season exhibition of goaltending to save Rangers from being beaten.Some of his saves against Montreal were nothing short of miraculous. With Canadiens players cutting wide holes in his defense, Chuck was forced to stop bullet drives from point blank range.Sunday night in Detroit, although beaten seven times by Red Wing marksmen Rayner turned back 42 drives which shows how much opposing players bothered him during the sixty minutes.Rayner started in the N.H.L. with New York Americans, playing his first full season with that club in 1941-42. After a spell in the Canadian armed forces, &ldquo;Prince Charlie&rdquo; joined the Rangers during the 19 45 season and he&rsquo;s been with them even since.Claude (Earl) Chuck Rayonr was born in Sutherland, Saskatchewan, August 11, 1920. He played amateur hockey with Kenora Thistles.For some time, Rayner and Jim &ldquo;Sugar&rdquo; Henry fought it out out for the Ranger goaltending berth, but the recent trade which sent Henry to Chicago Black Hawks has left the field open for Rayner who is considered on of the league&rsquo;s better puck stoppers.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-0292/1052140-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="280" height="419"></div> &#9632;

He had been sent &ldquo;on loan&rdquo; from the Ottawa Senators with another &ldquo;kid&rdquo;, Sid Howe, to help bolster the ever-losing Quakers&rsquo; squad. Both went on to establish big names for themselves in the hockey world.Philadelphia liked Wally then and it likes him now. Fans were particularly pleased when Peter A. Tyrrell, President and General Manaver of the Arena, signed him to coach the Rockets in the summer of 1947. The season before (1946-47), he had coached Fort Worth in the United States League, and had made quite a name for himself not only as a successful coach but as a handler of men.<h2>Brother Plays</h2>Although fandom regretted somewhat that they would not be able to see Wally in action, they were pleased that Kilrea still was on the &ldquo;firing line&rdquo;, for Kenny, Wally&rsquo;s kid brother, and the youngest of the famous Kilrea hockey family, handled one of the center positions for the team last season &hellip; and will again be at the post this year.Born in Ottawa, Ontario, on February 18, 1909, Wally turned pro with the Ottawa Senators in the National League in 1929.His greatest thrill in hockey came when he was chosen &ldquo;the most valuable player&rdquo; the year he played with the Detroit Red Wings&rsquo; Stanley Cup Champions.The property of Detroit, Wally was sold to Hershey the first year Hershey had a team.

Wally Kilrea Popular Coach With Rabid Fans Of Philadelphia Club

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. &mdash;Amateur, high school, prep school and college hockey, which has taken such a prominent part in the sport limelight in Western Massachusetts during Eddie Shore&rsquo;s regime here, will return to the Coliseum again this winter with a bigger anr more attractive program planned all along the line, according to an announcement by Shore. The Greater Springfield Junior Amateur Leagues for youngsters from 10 to 16 years of age, the Western Massachusetts Schoolboy League and the Independent Prep school circuit, the Springfield Industrial Hockey League, the Atlantic League with the Rifles again representing the City of Homes, and some independent college games, will all be back on the sports agenda with increased intensity.Close to 1,000 hockey lovers from 10 years to 40 years, and several thousands of fans, shared in Shore&rsquo;s extensive amateur and school program last winter, and all Indications are that at least that many and perhaps more will take part again this season.<h2>Break For Many Kids</h2>A break down shows that about 400 youngsters were in the junior leagues. These irrepressible youngsters invade the Coliseum every Saturday morning and virtually take possession of the arena, and that&rsquo;s the way Shore wants its The &ldquo;kid&rdquo; leagues have long been Shore&rsquo;s own pet project. Several times they came to American League and Atlantic League games as Eddie&rsquo;s guest, and Shore&rsquo;s great interest in the youth no doubt has done its part in combatting juvenile delinquency.From time to time hockey schools were held for the benefit of the youngsters with Shore personally instructing along with several of his players. The calibre of play and the enthusiasm has been at a new high unedr Shore&rsquo;s youth program.<h2>Play Doubleheaders</h2>John L. Sullivan, local organizer, will be back as director. Last year&rsquo;s championship teams were: the Adams Aces in the 10-12 age group, Memorial Avenue Men&rsquo;s Club of West Springfield in the 12-14, and the West Side Rangers in the 14-16 All will be back to defend their honors again this winter. Shore again plans to put on his Junior Leaguers as part of doubleheaders with the Rifles.An estimated 300 boys actively participated in the high school and prep school program. Wilbraham Academy was the championship team in its class with 10 straight wins, while Holyoke High School took the schoolboy honors. Holyoke represented Western Mass, in the sectional finals at Boston, but lost out. Many fine performers were developed In the schoolboy ranks.<h2>Great Incentive</h2>The Springfield Industrial League with its 11 industrial organizations participating had close to 200 taking part. After a long schedule and a playoff series Holyoke General Electric was crowned champion in the American Division and Smith & Wesson in the National Division.Last winter the area colleges sent about 150 players to the Coliseum to take their turn playing hockey. Although no league was in operation many independent games were played. Shore hopes that the institutions of higher learning will present him with a well-plan program this winter so that he can give the colleges an. even more prominent place in the hockey picture.Yes, all of them will be back again this winter, over 1,000 strong. The day isn&rsquo;t long enough as far as Shore is concerned when it comes to putting hockey over for the amateurs of the arena. Although much of the hockey is a financial burden to Shore he&rsquo;s never one to kick when it comes to building youth, particularly the junior league&rsquo;s.<h2>Watch The Puck!</h2>It will add to your enjoyment of the hockey game if you will watch the puck. Neglect of this suggestion may result in serious injury whenever the puck leaves the ice. &#9632;

AMERICAN LEAGUE

NEW YORK, N.Y. &mdash;Their opening line - up thrown&rsquo; laywire by the automobile accident that put two of their brightest stars on the shelf for six weeks or more, New York Rangers have begun casting around for reinfor cements.To help fill the hole, Rangers lave brought up left winger Chuck Elussell from Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey Learue. It is expected that Russell, vho saw action with the Rangers or a season and half before going to the Barons last fall, will be ised on a line with Don Raleigh, sensational rookie of last winter, ind Dune Fisher, up from New laven. Russell will take over the pot in that line originally slated or Nick Mickoski before the crippling highway crash forced a hange in plans. &#9632;

Russell Gets Call To Help

MONTREAL, Que. &mdash;The reason why the &ldquo;slow whistle&rdquo; is used in hockey seems to puzzle many fans. They see a team sweep down the ice on the attack with one member obviously offside as he crosses the blue line into the attacking zone ahead of the puck carrier.But the referee does not immediately blow his whistle. He watches the play closely and, to the fan it seems as though he waits a minute before making up his mind to blow it.Actually the referee is trying not to penalize the defending team. The next time such a play sweeps into your home team&rsquo;s defence zone and you are on your feet calling the referee a &ldquo;thief&rdquo;, wait just a second and see if your team hasn&rsquo;t broken up the play and is away on the attack.<h2>May Lose Chance</h2>If the referee Diows a &ldquo;quick whistle&rdquo; on these plays, an alert defending team which breaks up the play as it enters the defending zone and has an open break up the ice loses its chance to capitalize on its opportunity.Have you ever seen a defending player commit a foul and the referee point at him but not blow his whistle until the attacking team loses the puck? Here again you have the slow whistle and the reason is quite obvious.The defending team would be gaining an advantage if the play was stopped to put a man off the ice when the attacking team still has a chance to score.Therefore the referee uses tire &lsquo;slow whistle,&rdquo; points at the culprit to indicate he is aware of the fact that a penalty should be awarded and the minute the attacking team loses the puck he stops play and sends the guilty player to the penalty box.<h2>Referee Right</h2>How many times have you seen an attacking team come charging down the ice and at the defense a player delivers a hard but legal check and an attacker falls to the Ice squirming in &ldquo;agony&rdquo;.In the meantime a member of the defending team is off up the ice with the puck. The fans are screaming at the referee to stop it but not until the attacking team has. lost possession or scored will the referee blow his whistle (unless it is obvious the player has actually been seriously injured).Too many times in the past smart hockey players have faked injuries to stop plays which might have resulted in goals. Here again the referee invariably, is subjected to considerable unwarranted abuse because the fans do not know the rule. &#9632;

‘Slow Whistle’ Rule Explained To Help Fans

<div class="image-hero"><img title="f0010-03" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-0396/1052503-1-eng-US/f0010-032.jpg"></div>SPRINGFIELD, Mass. &mdash;The two hockey players shown above are Norm Burns and Doug McMurdy, star center ice men for Springfield Indians of the American Hockey League. Some experts say these two are the &ldquo;brainiest&rdquo; pair of pivot men in the league.Burns, at 30, was purchased by Eddie Shore from Minneapolis Millers of the United States League. He&rsquo;s been playing pro hockey for six years and has seen action with New Haven, New York Rangers, St. Paul and Cleveland.In 1940-41 he had a great year in the Eastern League. He finished the season with 93 points which was made up of 67 goals and 26 assists. He led the loop in goals as well as points.McMurdy is just 22 and came to Springfield from Tulsa of the U. S. H. L. The Indians swapped Alex Rittson for him.A standout junior star with St. Catharines Falcons, Doug won the &ldquo;Red Tilson Trophy&rdquo; for being the outstanding player in the O.H.A. Junior Division.He has seen action with Pittsburgh Hornets of the American circuit and spent the past two seasons with Tulsa.Coach Earl Seibert is very high on both of the lads. They impressed him so much at training camp with their smart passing that he said: &ldquo;We have two of the smartest centers Springfield has ever had. Though neither is speed merchant, you&rsquo;ll find that they&rsquo;ll seldom get caught deep inside enemy territory. They won&rsquo;t get &lsquo;sucked in&rsquo; very often. They&rsquo;re too smart for that&rdquo;McMurdy is also known for his ability to kill off penalties. He can take the puck and stickhandl his way around for seconds on end. &#9632;

Chicago Black Hawks Roster

Teams making up the O.H.A, Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; group are looking forward a great season. All nine clubs are packed with good players and fans should witness lots of fast skating puck chasing throughout the long winter months. Barrie Flyers, defending champions and Mem orial Cup finalists have seven boys back from their outfit of last year.Even at that, Coach Hap Emms doesn&rsquo;t seem any too optimistic. Of course, Emms seldom is, and will probably come up with another powerhouse.He has goalie Gil Mayer, defensemen Bob Bingley and Stan Lone. alone with forwards sid McNabney, Don Ashbee, George Ford and Paul Meger all back in uniform. Just what men will make up the remainder of the club is a mystery, but Emms has game fine prospects. Stratford are going to build their entry around two outstanding players. They are Danny Lewicki, who played with Port Arthur last year when they won the Memorial Cup and George Armstrong. Toronto Maple Leafs paid out a large chunk of cash for Lewicki.So far however, Stratford officials are having trouble securing releases for the two. Lewicki has not yet been able to get clear of Fort William Columbus Club, who demand that he return and play with them. Danny went to Port Arthur Flyers during the playoffs, but remains the property of Fort William.<h2>Has Troubles</h2>Armstrong, leading scorer and most valuable player in the league last year, is being claimed by Toronto Marlboros. Right now he&rsquo;s at his home in Copper Cliff says he&rsquo;ll stay there if he&rsquo;s not allowed to play with Stratford.Coach Leo Barbini is having other troubles as well. He has come to Stratford this year from Fort William to handle the team. Don Campbell, a goalie from St. Kitts, is another who has not yet secured a release from his old club. Several other boys are in the same spot.Windsor Spitfires are icing a strong aggregation. From St. Mikes comes Dennis Monney while Montreal has contributed Dave O&rsquo;Meara, son of Baz O&rsquo;Meara, sportswriter for the Montreal Star.The brother acts are also back in the persons of Bert and Bruce Giesebrechts and John and Larry Vilson. Add to these fellows like George Ouellette, Marcel Prono-oost, Jimmy Hay, Glen Skov, brands O&rsquo;Grady, Elwood Ritchie md Gerry Lavergine and you lave the makings of a smart club.<h2>Will Prove Tough</h2>St. Catharines Teepees usually prove tough for any team. Several new players will make their debut with St. Kitts. George Scott comes from Winnipeg, Don Campbell, Stratford, Gord Byers and Ron Telford, Copper Cliff, Bud Evans, Brandon and Marcel Clements, Sudbury.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-01145/1052534-1-eng-US/f0011-012.jpg" title="f0011-01" width="540" height="865"><figcaption class="caption-body">Sits At HomeGEORGE ARMSTRONG</figcaption></div>The four holdovers are Fred Hilderbrand, Tom Busk, George Sullivan and Jack McIntyre. The Teepees were hard hit when Boston Bruins signed Zelio Toppaz-zini.Down Oshawa way, Coach Tommy Anderson has players galores. He is still trying to decide which ones he&rsquo;ll keep. Blessed with size, he&rsquo;ll at least be able to put a heavy squad on ice.Stew Hendry, a Calgary product along with Bob Shropshire, last season with Young Rangers, are fighting it out for the goalkeeping chore.Holdovers include Dick Gamble, Dusty Blair, Gerry Scott, Ted O&rsquo;Connor and Frank Sullivan.Guelph are well off with eight of last year&rsquo;s team returning. They also have rounded up several outstanding prospects from other parts of Canada. They&rsquo;re going to a tough nut to crack.Toronto Marlboros are not certain just what players will wear their uniform. They have a great little puck stopper in goalie Roy McMeekin from Winnipeg.St. Mike&rsquo;s are going to build around Don Rope, center ice star for Winnipeg Monarchs last season. A smooth skating boy, Rope will do well in tne O.H.A. Never a team to be underestimated, St. Mike&rsquo;s will prove worthy a foe for all opposition.Young Rangers, for years members of the O.H.A., are not operating this season. It all points toward a swell semester for the O.H.A. Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; league. &#9632;

Boston Bruins Roster

BOSTON, Mass. &mdash;Jumping directly from college hockey to the big leagues, Ed Krysanowski a last year&rsquo;s University of Toronto rearguard, is making his pro debut with Boston Bruins of the National League.The husky defense star got his baptism of fire when Bruins visited Toronto Saturday night, and hometown fans get their first glimpse of him Wednesday night, October 20, when Chicago Black Hawks visit Beantown.Weston W. Adams, President of the Bruins and &ldquo;Dit&rdquo; Clapper, club coach, have been impressed by the work of this husky lad in practice sessions.If he doesn&rsquo;t stay up with the Beantown crew, he&rsquo;ll probably windup with Hershey in the American League for more experience. However, it&rsquo;s the intention of the Boston management to give the youngster every opportunity to stay up in the N.H.L.The signing of Krysanowski is another step in Boston&rsquo;s plan to build a young team for the future. This season the Bruins are the dark horse club of the N.H.L.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-0391/1052682-1-eng-US/f0012-032.jpg" title="f0012-03" width="520" height="1265"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bruin NowED.

Ed Krysanowski Goes Pro From College Hockey

LONDON, Eng. &mdash;Hockey in the Old Country is going ahead full blast, la fact, it looks as if clubs in England are going to enjoy one of the best seasons yet. Already three preliminary contests have been held with most of the players on view showing almost mid-season form.Streatham tangled with Wembley All-Stars and were beaten 9-8 in a high-scoring game. Against the London AllStars however, Streatham did a little better, coming out on the long end of a 10-5 score. Wembley Monarchs had too much strength for a team called &ldquo;The Rest&rdquo; and won 10-2. Brighton Tigers doubled the count on the National League All-Stars with an 8-4 victory.As this is written, the teams are playing for the Autumn Cup.As usual, nearly all&rsquo; clubs are dominated by Canadian players who were recruited in Canada this fall.There is a strong move to get county hockey underway In England. Teams most likely to start are Surrey, Middlesex, Sussex, London Couhties and Guys Hospital. If headquarters can be found, teams representing Oxford and Cambridge Universities along with the Cicil Service and the R.A.F. will also see action. Hampshire Is another likely starter.<h2>Complete Lineups</h2>Here are the complete lineups for regular league teams:Harringay Greyhounds: &mdash; B. Allan, G. Telkinnen. T. Hallam, J. Gauthier, T.

English Hockey Teams Loaded With Canucks

<div class="byline">By HUGH WATSON</div>NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C.Kenny McKenzie&rsquo;s decision to bring Walter &ldquo;Babe&rdquo; Pratt into the Pacific Coast Hockey League was probably the wisest move he&rsquo;s made.The &ldquo;Babe,&rdquo; still with a cherublike grin on hla face, is easily the best of the defensemen to show so far in the loop.With Pratt back of the blueline, McKenzie&rsquo;s New Westminster Royals opened their season with an 8-2 win over Tacoma Rockets. It was the first time in history that the Royals had nabbed a victory opening night.<h2>Ullyott Breaks Loose</h2>It was a case of too much Kenny Ullyot, the league&rsquo;s top scorer last year. He managed to get loose for four goals and two assists. Pratt, meanwhile, picked up an assist and a nice goal on a solo effort.A disappointing opening night crowd at Vancouver &mdash; only 4,800 showed up &mdash; watched Seattle Ironmen bounce their way to a 5-3 win. Immediately following the game, Coley Hall announced he was looking for more players.Tacoma scored a 7-4 win over Portland opening night, but the Eagles came back against the Ironmen in their second appearance, taking a 4-2 decision.Coley Hall, upset over a penalty to a Canuck player, was thrown out of the game by the referees when he and Dave Downey, coach of Seattle, tried to trade punches.<h2>TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12</h2>Seattle: Goal, Cotnoir; defense, Taillifer, McFadzen; center, Shill; wings, Collings, Thompson; subs.: Tomson, Kalapaca, Paul Evers, Fillon, Leger.Vancouver: Goal, Jackson: defense, Hunchuk, Hursley; center, McPherson: wings, B.

Quebec Senior Hockey League

SEATTLE, Wash.&mdash;A strong staff of referees, headed by the veteran whistle-tooter, Mickey Ion, has been lined up by the Pacific Coast Hockey League for its first season as a full-fledged professional circuit. Under Ion, former N.H.L. official, are men like &ldquo;Bud&rdquo; Cook, a brother of the famed Bill and &ldquo;Bun&rdquo;; Charlie Good, Frank Elliott, Bill Knott, Jerry Mathieu, Bill Shaver, &ldquo;Aud&rdquo; Tauten and Hank Wilson.Of these, Knott, Mathieu, Shaver and Wilson are holdovers from last year&rsquo;s staff, while Tuten comes from the United States League. where he officiated In 1947-48.Here are brief sketches on the men in white sweaters: &mdash;<h2>REFEREE IN CHARGE:</h2>Frederick James &ldquo;Mickey&rdquo; Ion &mdash; Dean of hockey referees &mdash; Started refereeing hockey games in 1912 in the original Pacific Coast Major Hockey League. Went from the Coast League to the National Hockey League in 19 25 where he remained until 1941. Last two seasons in the National Hockey League he was Referee In Chief as well as scout. Many of today&rsquo;s leading officials are products of Ion&rsquo;s teaching. He is a native of Paris, Ontario, but has made his home at Bellevue, Wash, for over 20 years. Mickey is 62 years old, stands 5&rsquo; 10&rdquo; and weighs 170 pounds.<h2>REFEREES:</h2>Alex. &ldquo;Bud&rdquo; Cook &mdash; Veteran of the ice game and brother of the famous Cook brothers who made history with the New York Rangers. This is his first year as full time referee altho experienced as an official in junior hockey. A keen student of the game and one of the smartest players of his time. Played two years with Oakland and prior to that spent several years in the American League. He is 41 years old, stands 5&rsquo; 8&frac12;&rdquo; and weighs 165 pounds, is married and has a seven-year-old daughter. He is in the construction business in the East Bay area and makes his home at Walnut Creek, California. He will wear sweater number 2.Charles Ross Good &mdash; He&rsquo;s from Toronto, Ontario. This Is his first year in the Pacific Coast Hockey League. He started refereeing in 1943 and has worked in the Ontario Hockey Assn, and the Eastern Hockey League. He is 37 years old, single, stands 5&rsquo; 8&frac12;&rdquo; and weighs 165 pounds. Comes highly recommended. He will wear sweater number 8.Frank Robert Elliott &mdash; Frank is from St. Catharines, Ontario. He is 32 years old, married, and the largest man on the staff, standing 6&rsquo; and weighs 159 pounds. He started refereeing in 1940 and has worked in the Quebec Senior League, Ontario Hockey Assn, and the American League. Refereed the Allan Cup playoffs last spring. Comes very highly recommended and should prove a valuable addition to the Coast staff. He will wear sweater number 6.William Henry &ldquo;Bill&rdquo; Knott &mdash; Bill, like Shaver, is a veteran of the Pacific Coast Hockey League, having started officiating when the league was started in 1945 and has been with the league continuously. Bill played amateur hockey in Vancouver and Seattle for several years before taking up officiating in the old City League in Seattle in 19 35; from there he graduated to the Pacific Coast Hockey League. Bill is 5&rsquo; 6&rdquo; and weighs 175 pounds, married and has three children. He operates a painting contracting business in Seattle where he has lived since 1928. Bill will wear sweater number 4.Gerald &ldquo;Jerry&rdquo; Mathieu &mdash; This is Jerry&rsquo;s second year in the Pacific Coast Hockey League. He started officiating in 193 8, working in the Quebec leagues before coming to the Coast. He is 5&rsquo; 10 &frac12;&rdquo; tall and weighs 162 pounds, is 39 years old and married. In the summer Jerry umpires in the Western International Baseball League. He will wear sweater number 3.William Albert &ldquo;Bill&rdquo; Shaver &mdash; Bill has been one of the old standbys of the Pacific Coast Hockey League and next to Ion he has probably refereed more games than any other official. Bill started refereeing in the old California League in 1927 and in between has covered most of the professional leagues including a hitch in the National League. This will be Shaver&rsquo;s fourth year in the present Pacific Coast League, having started when the league was first organized and still going strong. Bill also worked in the old Pacific Coast pro league several years ago. Bill is the smallest man on the staff, weighing 155 pounds and stands 5&rsquo; 8&rdquo; and is 47 years old. He does a very efficient job of officiating. He is President of the Left Handed Golfers Assn, of California. Bill makes his home with his Mother at Berkley and in the off season is assistant golf pro at the Richmond Golf Club. He will wear sweater number 1.Aiidley &ldquo;And&rdquo; Tuten &mdash; Refereed in the United States League last season and comes well recommended. Tuten, 34 years old, Is probably the only hockey player that was born in Alabama. Stands 5&rsquo; 10&rdquo; and weighs 180 pounds. He is married and makes his home in Los Angeles. Tuten&rsquo;s last pro hockey was with Kansas City in 1946. He played with Oakland during the 1946-1947 season where he established the league record for scoring goals for defencemen with 23. He will wear sweater number 7.Ralph &ldquo;Hank&rdquo; Wilson &mdash; Holdover from last year&rsquo;s staff. Capable official, 33 years old, 5&rsquo; 11&rdquo; tall and weighs 180 pounds.

Hank is single and makes his home in Vancouver altho originally from Calgary. He will wear sweater number 5. &#9632;

Strong Referee Staff Sees Action In PCHL

In a recent brilliant address here, Clarence Campbell, President of the National Hockey League, took as his topic. Sport &mdash; Its Place in the Community.Mr. Campbell pointed out to more than 200 attending a banquet in honor of the Chicago Black Hawks and Kansas City Pla-Mors, that: &ldquo;There is no group of athletes more conscious of responsibilities than professional hockey players.&rdquo;&ldquo;Every activity, no matter what it is, must be evaluated in its contribution to the life of the community&rdquo;.Continuing, Mr. Campbell said, &ldquo;Sport has a tremendous role in the life of the community hockey has a tremendous role in the whole of Canadian life. Sport has three main contributions to the life of the community: 1, public entertainment. 2. a builder of health. 3. a builder of character.The N.H.L. president went on to point out that sport offers the public an escape, something that they can see completed before their eyes instead of watching it drag on and on until human capacity to sustain interest in it becomes over-taxed. &#9632;

Sport Benefits Community Life Says NHL Chief

<div class="byline">By JACK KINSELLA</div>OTTAWA, Ont.&mdash;Barely five months after they hung up their skates for the season, the Ottawa Senators, under the guidance again of George &ldquo;Buck&rdquo; Boucher, stepped back into harness in preparation for the 1948-49 Quebec League grind &mdash; and that&rsquo;s the right word for it, too!For, if they survive the 56 game schedule, there&rsquo;s the possibility of another 20 to 30 playoff games before they call it quits next Spring.But to get back to the Senators, apart from a few changes, the same team that captured the Quebec League title and went on to the Allan Cup finals last year are action again.From the nets out, where Legs Fraser and his understudy, Johnny &ldquo;Plumber&rdquo; Craig, have been performing in fine fashion, the Senators look as strong as ever. Craig, who played with Edmonton last year, should be a great asset to the Barber Poles and will probably line up with New Edinburghs in the new ECHL.<h2>Hole To Fill</h2>Largest vacancy on the squad will be that left by flying Frankie Mathers who graduated to the Toronto Maple Leafs this Fall to the great sorrow of Ottawa and joy of the rest of the loop.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-01139/1053004-1-eng-US/f0015-012.jpg" title="f0015-01" width="524" height="825"><figcaption class="caption-body">BodycheckerBOBBY COPP</figcaption></div>Boucher, however, will have Butch Stahan, Bobby Copp and Ray Trainor back and has added another fine defenseman In the person of Jack Caln, rormerly with the R. C. A. F. Allan Cup champions, and last year with Waterloo in the Senior O.H.A. league.Later on in the season, Boucher plans to drop &ldquo;Smilin&rdquo; Jack Irvin back on the defense where he performed so, capably last year in a Relief role. With the heavy schedule, Boucher feels it is only safe to carry an extra backstop as well as extra forwards.Up front, three seasoned Quebec League campaigners, Eddie Emberg, George Greene and Alec Smart will again from the first unit of attack. The perennial Greene is again displaying the form which made him one of the most dangerous forwards in the loop last year, while Emberg and Smart are slowly rounding into shape.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-0393/1052997-1-eng-US/f0015-032.jpg" title="f0015-03" width="544" height="813"><figcaption class="caption-body">Puck StopperBILL &ldquo;LEGS&rdquo; FRASER</figcaption></div><h2>Newcomers From P.C.H.</h2>Working well together on another line are Emile Dagenais, Stu Smith and Buddy Hellyer. Dagenais and Smith are holdovers from last year, but Hellyer, formerly with the R. C. A. F. Allan Cup Champions and last year with San Diego, is a new player and seems to be fitting in well with his linemates.Three other newcomers, in the persons of Eddie Dartnell, Bill Robinson and Nils Tremblay, have also been out with the Barber Poles. All three played with the Seattle Ironmen in the P.C.H.L. last year and were much sought after by no less a personage than Frank Selke.However, after the P. C. H. L. turned professional, legally, that Is, the three players were declared free agents and were quickly picked up by Gorman. The matter was referred to the C.A.H.A. and permission was given Gorman to sign them.And lest we forget, two other players prominent with the team last year have signed. They are Lude Check, who seems to be skating faster each season, and the other, Conny Tudin, seems to be the closest thing to perpetual motion we&rsquo;ve seen in years.<h2>Carry Two Goalies</h2>Senators will carry 18 players this year, two goalies, five rearguards, three forward lines and two extra forwards. There Is still place for a right winger but club officials expect that Jackie McLean will fill the bill when he returns from his government surveying jaunt in November.Says Boucher: &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not as strong as last year, but then, neither are the other teams. But no team can lose a man like Mathers and not miss him to some extent.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll be in there again this year, but just where I can&rsquo;t say. Let&rsquo;s wait until Spring to answer that one.&lsquo;AIl I&rsquo;m worried about is whether we will weather the grind as easily as last year. These players aren&rsquo;t youngsters any more, and 75 or so games takes it out of you. But the way the N.H.L. has every kid from 16 up neatly bundled makes it impossible to get young players.&ldquo;Who will be the strongest teams this year? Probably Ottawa and Royals again. It should be a good season.&rdquo; &#9632;

Ottawa Senators Powerful But Mathers’ Loss Hurts

PORT ARTHUR, Ont. &mdash;Dave Creighton, who was one of the big guns with Port Arthur West End Bruins as they captured the Memorial Cup last Spring, has turned professional with Hershey Bears of the American League. The 18-year-old left winger will be in line for a spot on another Bruins team &mdash; the Boston N.H.L. version &mdash; if he makes good with the Bears. &#9632;

BRUINS TO BEARS FOR CREIGHTON

FORT WORTH, Tex.&mdash;For the past three years there has been an attendance trophy, which has become a myth to Fort Worth, awarded to the city in the United States Hockey League with the highest paid attendnace for the opening game &mdash; at least the trophy seems merely a myth to all cities with the exception of Tulsa and Omaha, who have kept it to themselves.This season the Downtown Lions Club of Fort Worth have come to the conclusion that something should be done about this matter, and they plan to do just that.Yes, the Downtown Lions Club are going to sponsor the ticket sales for the Fort Worth Rangers opening Ice Hockey game of the 1948-49 season to try and win the attendance trophy for Fort Worth, with the proceeds of the opening game to go to the All Church Children&rsquo;s Home for their Christmas party.In the past, the various other cities in the United States Hockey League have never thought about Fort Worth in connection with the attendance trophy; however, it Is felt this year that with the enthusiasm already displayed by the Downtown Lions Club that some of the neighboring cities&rsquo; to the north and south are in for quite a surprise. &#9632;

Teams from Halifax to Edmonton in Canada, and as far south in the United States as Dallas, Texas, are members of the Habitant family.The Canadien&rsquo;s manager was more than pleased with his trip. He pointed out that the Habs were gaining supporters in the West by leaps and bounds. For years about the only club one heard about out on the prairies were oronto Maple Leafs. Now according to Selke, that&rsquo;s changed.With Montreal Canadiens sponsoring so many teams out west, a lot of the youngsters now pull for the Habitants.Selke, who came to Montreal three years ago from Toronto Maple Leafs, has been one of the staunchest supporters of junior hockey in Canada. Shortly after coming to the city he built up a farm system similar to the one which has paid off so well for the Leafs. &#9632;
