While a few of the lads have left the club for one reason or the other, Coach Frank Curre.e has added new players and hopes to hang onto the battered old &ldquo;mug&rdquo;. From left to right are: (Back row) Elmer Kreller, Bill Pettinger, Bing Merluk, Frank Currie (coach), Freddie Smitten, Andy Clovechuk, Al Rollins, Bud MacPherson, Doug Anderson, Gordie Watt, Bill Maher, Gordon Buttrey, Doug Hardy (trainer), Doug Lane. Front row; Harvey (Pug) Young, Alex Pringle, Billy Morrissey (stickboy) Morey Rimssad and Johnny Black.</b></p></figcaption></div><p>&mdash;EDMONTON, Alta.&mdash;</p><p>Allan Cup hungry &mdash; only once before in the 40 odd years of the cup&rsquo;s history had it rested in the Alberta capitol &mdash; Edmonton hockey fans turned out &ldquo;en masse&rdquo; last season and were amply rewarded as Edmonton Flyers brought home the coveted hardware.</p><p>Fans were Solidly behind the Edmonton entry in the Western Canada Hockey League&mdash;close to 60,000 turned out for the victory celebration&mdash;and anyone who even breathes that the bauble will not be here for some time to come is guilty of rank treason. In last year&rsquo;s pre-season finessing, Flyers were rated as only an average senior hockey club and were given only an outside chance of grabbing a play-off berth in their own league. And for part of the season they ran true to form.</p><p>Calgary, Lethbridge, Saskatoon and Regina all had a field day when Edmonton was listed as the opposition and around mid-season they were firmly entrenched in the WCHL cellar. Then in late Jaunary they commenced a concerted drive that carried them to the top.</p><p>Mastermind of the Edmonton aggregation was Frank Currie, native Montrealer. Youthful, quiet-spoken Currie was spending his first full year as a senior coach and he came through in grand style. Never one to make predictions, &ldquo;we&rsquo;ll take the next game as it comes,&rdquo; he never doubted the ability of his crew.</p><h2><b>Should Do It Again</b></h2><p>He should be able to duplicate last year&rsquo;s feat. With the exception of Goalie Al Rollins and Left winger Johnny Black, he will have all of last season&rsquo;s crew back and the replacements are not to be regarded lightly.</p><p>The long, lean and lanky Rollins, adjudged most valuable player in a poll conducted last year by the Edmonton Journal, this season will guard the net for Kansas City Pla-Mors.</p><p>He was a wizzard in the Flyer net last season and the gap he leaves will be hard to fill. But Currie seems to have comes up with the solution in Keith Woodall. Woodall, who physically resembles his predecessor guarded the twine last year for Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen of the O.H.A. In games so far, his performance has left little to be desired.</p><h2><b>Stars Return</b></h2><p>Taking Black&rsquo;s place on the high-scoring line seems likely to be Elmer Krellir. Kreller was a third of last year&rsquo;s famed &ldquo;Receding Hairline,&rdquo; trio with Freddie Smitten and Ale Pringle.</p><p>At the start of the current season, Currie was in doubt as to three of last year&rsquo;s stars &mdash; Dougie Anderson, Bud MacPherson and Bing Merluk. They were all at Montreal Canadiens&rsquo; training camp but, to a man, returned to the Flyer fold.</p><p>Anderson and Merluk teamed with Andy Clovechuck for another Flyer line and proved worth their weight in gold in the finals.</p><p>Outside of Woodall, the only new acquisition so far this season is Centre Bernie Bathgate who performed last year with Vancouver Canucks. The speedy pivot appears likely to be allied with Alex Pringle and rookie Colin Kilburn. In a recent ehibition game with Kimberley Dynamiters, the trio exploded for five markers.</p><p>Gordie Watt, captain last year and a dependable performer to say the least, will be back in Flyer livery as will co-defenceman Harvey &ldquo;Pug&rdquo; Young.</p><p>Bud MacPherson in senior company for the first time last year, improved with every game and should be headed for his biggest year. Doug Lane should add considerable defensive strength aa will Bill Pettinger. Redoubtable Louis Holmes has just signed contract, and though rubbing 4, will still prove valuable if not in-valuable.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Edmonton Flyers Out To Retain Allan Cup

A 96-page publication edited and compiled by Stan Saplin, the volume is the official guide and record book of the New York Rangers. The book is unique in that it is the only history of a club published by any individual team organization.</p><p>This second edition contains a new feature which is a distinct contribution to hockey history. A gigantic research chore by the edi. tor has produced a complete record of &ldquo;Games Played&rdquo; by every man who has ever skated for the Rangers since the club&rsquo;s inception in the fall of November 1926. Although such records are compiled annually today, and have been kept since 1941, the hockey world has had no record of the number of games played by each man &mdash; whether star or unknown&mdash;for the previous years. Such figures, painstakingly compiled, are now available for all Blue Shirt stickhandlers past and present.</p><h2>Top Writers Contribute</h2><p>In addition to a wealth of records on the team and a Who&rsquo;s Who section containing the complete National League record of every Ranger, feature articles by Joseph C. Nichols, veteran New York Times hockey writer; Bruce Jacobs, editor of Sport Life Magazine, and Saplin are contained in &ldquo;Inside the Blue Shirt.&rdquo; The famous poem, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll Take Hockey Any Time!&rdquo; by John Kieran, is also indued in the volume.</p><p>In a foreword to the second edition, Clarence S. Campbell, president of the National Hockey League, terms the volume &ldquo;a superlative pioneering effort in the field of hockey literature &hellip; a &lsquo;hockey bible&rsquo; for Ranger fans, sportwriters and sportscasters.&rsquo;&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Inside the Blue Shirt&rdquo; is available for 50 cents per copy at Madison Square Garden only. It may be purchased at the various sales counters in the arena during games or through the mails by addressing &ldquo;Inside the Blue Shirt,&rdquo; New York Rangers, 307 West 49th Street, New York 19, N.Y.

For on that date, Chicago plays host to the outstanding stars of the world of hockey in the National League&rsquo;s second annual All-Star contest.</p><p>It&rsquo;s the fulfilment of a wish for Tobin and the Hawk followers, because this idea of an annual All-Star game had its greatest impetus in Chicago, and it was there that it has its greatest boosters &mdash; among them the Black Hawk chieftain.</p><p>Last year, when the first game was played, Toronto did the honors as the home of the Stanley Cup champions, but it was agreed to turn the 1948 game over to Chicago in recognition of that city&rsquo;s support of the project.</p><p>Tobin, one of hockey&rsquo;s shrewdest traders (he still is remembered for that deal of last season which gained him practically an entire team in return for starry Max Bentley and rookie Cy Thomas) has had a fast rise in the hockey firmament since he started out as a goaltender in Western Canada a quarter century ago.</p><p>Once a ticket seller for the club, Tobin rose throught the ranks until he became President and General Manager of what is perhaps the richest hockey organization in the world. Inheriting a club that once was feared by every N.H.L. team, but which of late years has been on the decline Tobin commenced a rebuilding job which seems due to bear fruit before too long.</p><p>In addition to the famous five-or-two deal of 1947-48, Tobin this fall again put on his David Harum suit and came back with &ldquo;Sugar&rdquo; Jim Henry to fill the Hawk nets, long considered one of the team&rsquo;s weak spots. How that deal will pan out only remains to be seen, but Tobin is confident he is on the right track at last, and that the Stanley Cup soon will grace a place of honor in the vast Chicago Stadium, the world&rsquo;s largest hockey rink.</p><h2><b>The Hockey News</b></h2><p><b>Published weekly, except monthly May through September, by HOCKEY NEWS COMPANY, 603A Sun Life Bldg., Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Maple Leafs played great hockey to whip the All-Stars 7-3, even though the great Chuck Gardiner was guarding the nets for the league brillants. -</p><p>But in the Morenz and Seibert Memorials the tables were turned. On November 2, 1937, the All-Stars nipped out a 6-5 win over a team _ from the combined Montreal Maroons and Montreal Canadiens rosters as the fans honored Howie Morenz. And the next year, on October 29, 1939, once again it was the All-Stars in&rsquo;front by a 5-2 score over Montreal Canadiens, the last team Siebert played with. The &ldquo;Babe&rdquo; drowned in Lake Huron in the summer of 1932, and the accident was the more tragic since the Babe had been appointed coach of Canadiens a short time before and was looking forward to his new job in the coming season.</p><h2><b>Drew Large Gate</b></h2><p>The Bailey Benefit Game drew the largest gate, as the fans poured $20,900 into the ticket window tills. Receipts from the Morenz game, sales and incidentals brought in $12,000, although other donations brought the fund up to about $25,000. Siebert&rsquo;s widow and children benefited by $15,000 from the 1939 game.</p><p>For stark melodrama there was nothing quite like that 1934 game. It had all the elements to stir the crowd.</p><p>For on ths All Stars l&rsquo;neup was Eddie Shore, that stormy petrel of Bruins, about whose head for weeks had raged a storm of bitter comment and controversy, Two months before, when Shore had rolled into Bailey with a staggering check that crashed him to the ice surface, and for weeks after as &ldquo;Ace&rdquo; waged a grim fight against death. Shore had been perhaps the most listed man in hockey. Booed and villified and threatened in Toronto especially. Shore had been the villain.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0225/924790-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="504" height="833"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p>Hockey Immortals</p><p><b>HOWIE MORENZ</b></p></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0316/924783-1-eng-US/f0003-032.jpg" title="f0003-03" width="548" height="857"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>BABE SIEBERT</b></figcaption></div><p>Yet before the game started, as Bailey walked on the ice, dressed in an overcoat and with head bared, and walked over to shake hands with Shore, the rink rocked with a storm of echoing applause. Throughout the game, although Eddie played his usual rushing, aggressive game he was applauded warmly in a sporting gesture that moved even flinthearted sport writers.</p><p>After that, the result of the game was relatively unimportant, although Leafs after a slow start began rolling and battered out a 7-3 win over the team that contained such great stars as Morenz, Gardiner Shore, Ching Johnson, Aurel Joliat, Bill Cook, Lionel Conacher and Nels Stewart. ,.</p><p>That was the first time in the history of the Big League such an All-Star team had been gathered on the same ice. And as if that wasn&rsquo;t drama enough for one game, looking back in retrospect the contest gained as the years went bv.</p><h2><b>Great Loss</b></h2><p>Although those n the rink didn&rsquo;t know it at the time, they were seeing the great Charlie Gardiner or the last season. Gardimr. who in the following Spring led Chicago Black Hawks to the Stanley Cup, died in June. He went out at the peak of his career, and few knew that in the Cup playoffs that year he was already sick but his great heart carried him through.</p><p>And no one present could dream that a little more than three years later the N.H.L. All-Stars would take the ice again to honor little Howie Morenz, who played in the Bailey Benept as a star at the top of the heap.</p><p>Howie, the &ldquo;Stratford Streak.&rdquo; whose speeding skates and swift forays up and down the ice made him one of the game&rsquo;s immortals, died virtually in the midst of action. Making a gallant comeback with the team he started with, Montreal Canadiens after he had spent two years with Chicago Black Hawks and New York Rangers after an earlier Montreal management thought his usefulness at an end. Morenz again was showing his glittering speed.</p><p>He was before friends that night of January 28. 1937, playing in the Montreal Forum that was the scene of so many of his triumphs. Dashing down right wing as Canadiens played Black Hawks, Howie sidestepped defenceman Earl Seibert, slipped and went sliding into the boards, snapping his leg. He died in hospital March 8, 1937, from complications that set in though many said the cause was the breaking of a lion-sized heart as he saw he had reached the end of the trial in the sport he loved.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

That&rsquo;s the trainer in the middle taking care of his charges.</b></p></figcaption></div><p class="dropcap"><span>H</span>OCKEY moguls have a refreshing attitude towards the men whose brains tick constantly on the bench, their coaches. With the exception of Chicago, which switched from Gottselig to Conacher last mid-season, the moguls are permitting the coaches to grow old together. I say this is refreshing in light of what is happening in that grand, altruistic, American pastime, baseball, where success is so unimportant that the moguls will merely cut off their coaches&rsquo; shanks to acquire it. The ridiculous point was reached the other day when the Yankees, Who already dispensed with Bucky Harris because he finished third on the second-last day of the season, also dispensed with a coach, Chuck Dressen, despite his three-year contract which has one more year and 20,000 more dollars to go. Presumely, Dressen has one more year and 20,000 more dollars to go. Presumably, Dressen was fired because he did not wave enough base-runners past third base to enable the Yankees to outscalp the Indians.</p><p>PERHAPS this is an easier way to pacify the fans than to acquire winning ball players, although hockey moguls don&rsquo;t take so peculiar an attitude. Hockey moguls come right out and say despite the fact the Wolverines finished ninth this season it wasn&rsquo;t Coach Joe Doakes&rsquo; fault because, after all, Doakes didn&rsquo;t have the material to win with. &ldquo;Just be patient, Doakes, old man,&rdquo; the hockey moguls say, stuffing more money into Doakes&rsquo; hip pocket, &ldquo;next year&mdash;or the year after&mdash;I may purchase some lads with two legs and give you a chance to coach a real hockey team.</p><p><b>CONSTANTINE Smythe, the Toronto mogul</b>, called the gentlemen of the press (and a lot of hockey writers, too) into his innermost sanctum just before the Leafs were pasted in their opener with Boston. His chin hanging all the way down to the foot-deep rugs on his floor, Smythe pronounced his squad a dubious quantity that will miss Apps and Metz abominably and will succeed only if &ldquo;the greatest coach in hockey, Hap Day, can turn four rookies into four major leaguers in one season.&rdquo; A baseball mogul would drop dead before he&rsquo;d admit even that his manager was literate, much less the greatest brain in the game. A baseball mogul would instil confidence into his manager by placing a Colt.45 to the heads of the manager&rsquo;s 13 children and informing him that if he lost a single pennant with this ball club the trigger would be pulled. Not once, but many times.</p><p><b>THE FANS IN MONTREAL</b> threatened to burn down the Forum last season if Dick Irvin didn&rsquo;t become a pigeon fancier exclusively but Francois Selke, the general manager, merely said that Dick couldn&rsquo;t put the puck into the net for the forwards or knock the enemy down for the defensemen and he deposited Irvin again at the Canadian thinking post. In New York where, in the past baseball season, the managers of the city&rsquo;s three clubs, the Giants, the Yankees and the Dodgers&mdash;Mel Ott, Leo Durocher and Bucky Harris &mdash; were beheaded because nobody could find their teams&rsquo; names at the top of the standings, Frank Boucher has been running longer than &ldquo;Harvey&rdquo;. When his ciub reached the lofty altitudes of fourth place last season, Mons. Boucher very nearly was presented with Hogan&rsquo;s Irish House.</p><p><b>IN DETROIT, WHERE</b> the Red Wings were overhauled by the Leafs in the closing days of the schedule last season and then mesmerized in four straight games in the Stanley Cup final, Tommy Ivan is back, his brain whirring. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a wonderful coach,&rdquo; Jack Adams, the Detroit mogul, says of Ivan. &ldquo;He came up through our chain and he knows our system.&rdquo; Dit Clapper hasn&rsquo;t had a winner at Boston in the four or five years he&rsquo;s been thinking sitting down in the Garden. &ldquo;Wonderful fellow,&rdquo; says Weston Adams, &ldquo;grand coach. Just wait till our rookies develop.&rdquo; I would like to conclude this thesis by pointing out why the baseball moguls fire faster than an arsonist. I should like to but, for an excellent reason, I have decided not to. I don&rsquo;t know why.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

The Old Refrain

<div class="byline">By STAN SAPLIN</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>You know about the parents who had so many children they couldn&rsquo;t remember all the names. The mushrooming of the New York Rangers hockey family of farm teams and sponsored clubs since the end of the war occasionally has Manager Frank Boucher puzzling in a &ldquo;Who&rsquo;s on first?&rdquo; fashion when he tries to recall the personnel of one of his sextets, and sometimes has Business Manager Tom Lockhart going through a similar routine where club officials are concerned.

New York Rangers Roster

<p>NEW YORK, N.Y,&mdash;</p><p>The array of new talent assembled by the New York Rangers this season will go on display Wednesday evening, October 27, when Frank Boucher&rsquo;s 1948-49 edition of stickhandling talent inaugurates the hockey season in Madison Square Garden against the Detroit Red Wings.</p><p>With Buddy O&rsquo;Connor at home in Ville LaSalle, Que., while his broken rib mends, the club&rsquo;s three forward lines contain seven men who were not on hand when the Blues made their local debut a year ago. Edgar Laprade, center, and scrappy Tony Leswick, left wing, were the only offensive operatives in last season&rsquo;s opener.</p><p>On the back line Freddie Shero, captain Neil Colville and Bill Moe (wearing a helmet) have returned&rsquo; and are joined by Whirling Wally Stanowski and Elwyn (Moe) Morris, Frank Eddolls, hospitalized since the auto crash early this month, will not rejoin the team for a number of weeks. Chuck Rayner will be in the nets.</p><h2><b>Two New Lines</b></h2><p>Two of the Blueshirted front lines are new to New York fans One has Don (Mr. Bones) Raleigh at center, with bespactacled Clint Albright at left wing and Finnish-born Pentti Lund at right. On the other young Nick Mickoski is at center, with Alex Kaleta, the former Black Hawk, on the left flank and Little Dune Fisher on the opposite wing. Laprade and Leswick will team agaiu with Eddie Kullman, who joined the team in November of &rsquo;47.</p><p>Missing from the line-up which opened the campaign a year back are Phil Watson, now coach of the New York Rovers: Cal Gardner, Rene Trudell and Bill Juzda, now the property of the Toronto Maple Leafs; Bryan Hextail and Church Russell, both with Cleveland of the American League, and Nobby Warwick, currently with the Boston Bruins.</p><h2><b>Nick Is Youngest</b></h2><p>Big Nick Mickoski, 6&rsquo;1, 185 pounds and still growing, is the youngest member of the squad at 20 and one of the more promsing rookies in the league. Nick began the 1947-48 campaign with the Rovers, advanced to the New Haven Ramblers in mid-season and wound up playing the last playoff games with the Rangers, filling in for an injured veteran. Neil Colville, a ten-year man in the majors, is the oldest Ranger at 34.</p><p>After a week at Guelph, Ont, the Rangers travelled to Boston last Sunday to take on the Bruins.

At one end will be the Toronto Maple Leafs, winners of the Stanley Cup the last two years in a row, and at the other end will be a galaxy of stars picked from every other club in the National Hockey League.</p><p>It is more than fitting, too, that the site of this year&rsquo;s contest should be in Chicago. Because it was in that great city on the shores of windy Lake Michigan that the idea for the All-Star Game was born and nurtured, talked up and promoted for many years before it finally became a reality. It was for that reason, more than anything else, that this second of the annual contests was awarded to Chicago, in recognition of the willing groundwork done there to give the fans this spectacle to end all spectacles.</p><p>The first in this series of super attractions was staged at Toronto on October 13 of last year, with the All-Stars finally winning out by a 4-3 count after a close and thrilling struggle. If this year&rsquo;s game is as good, there is no doubt but that the huge throng which will jam the Stadium will go home more than satisfied.</p><p>And there seems no good reason why the 1948 struggle should not be the equal, or might even surpass that of 1947. Gathered on this top squad of the league&rsquo;s greatest are the outstanding players from every team outside the Cup winners &mdash; men like the great &ldquo;Rocket&rdquo; Richard and Elmer Lach, Ted Lindsay and Milt Schmidt, Jack Stewart and Bill Quackenbush, Frankie Brimsek and Bill Durnan, tops every one of them.</p><p>While last autumn&rsquo;s tilt was the first of the annual games staged by the League, there have been other memorable All-Star games before. Coming to mind are those Benefit Games for the late Howie Morenz and the tragically-drowned &ldquo;Babe&rdquo; Siebert, the &ldquo;Ace&rdquo; Bailey game in Toronto.</p><p>Each of those games produced great moments, great actions and great memories for the fans lucky enough to see them. But these games, without exception, were staged by the individual clubs concerned to benefit the families of players struck down by misfortune. They didn t produce the full galaxy of super-stars &mdash; the official selections of the League&rsquo;s topnotchers &mdash; which these present Annual Games see.</p><h2><b>WHY AN ALL-STAR GAME?</b></h2><p>The question has often been asked. &ldquo;What&rsquo;s the use of picking an All-Star team? What does it prove?&rdquo; In many cases such a contest proves very little. No matter what players are named to compete, fans will argue that the choice was bad. In the case of the annnual National Hockey League classic, there is a deeper and more sane reason than simply icing a picked squad to add prestige to the League or individual.</p><p>The affair is staged for the protection of all players in later life. Two-thirds of the gate, after taxes have been deducted, goes into the pension fund which makes sure that players, when they find their active playing days are over, will have some sort of financial security. The remaining one-third is turned over to the host rink for building rental.</p><p>Last year, when Toronto Maple Leafs were hosts, their share was turned over to charity. This in itself makes the N.H.L. All-Star game worth while.</p><p>In some cases there is room to argue the merits of holding, or naming a select team. Yet, followers of most sports expect a &ldquo;dream&rdquo; team to be chozen. Imagine the hours of fun discussing the talents of various players which would be lost should no All-Star clubs be named.</p><p>Of course, hockey is one of the few sports where the stars actually get together and play a game. It&rsquo;s the usual practice to simply name a team and let it go at that.</p><p>Another reason for trying to make N.H.L. coaches All-Star squad is the extra money a player gets&mdash;$1,000. is not to be sneezed at!</p><p>No, we are convinced that the annual battle of N.H.L. All-Stars adds something to the sport as well as being beneficial to the future welfare of N.H.L. players.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

I think the paper is Just swell but agree with a lot of fans thaT wrote in last year &hellip; there should be more action shots. Not only should their be action shots of NH.L. games but all leagues.</p><p>Please see what you can do about this.</p><p>Gene Russell</p><p>Boston, Mass.</p><p>(We have just completed arrangements in most leagues and are still in the negotiation stage with other leagues in regards to action shots and we hope to be able to run plenty of thrilling hockey action photos in the very near future. Action shots will appear in all the Issues during the season.)</p><h2><b>MORE A.H.L. NEWS PLEASE</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>How&rsquo;s about more stories on teams and players in the A.H.L.? After all the A.H.L. is just about as good as the N.H.L. Some of my friends tell me it is as good. Give us lots of behind the scenes stuff that any rabid fan will eat up and I&rsquo;m sure every one of your readers will be happy.</p><p>Joe Trimble Cleveland, Ohio.</p><h2><b>STORY ON BROADCASTERS</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>As an ardent reader of your excellent publication, I would like to get my two cents worth into you. Why don&rsquo;t you run a series of articles on the different hockey broadcasters such as Bert Lee, Doug Smith, Foster Hewitt, Frank Ryan, Guy Lebow and others. I know there are a number of my friends who often mention to me that they would like to read something about the man who does the play-by-play.</p><p>Think your paper is swell and it seems to be improving all the time.</p><p>Miss Esther Schramm New York, N.Y.</p><p>(We will be running features on some of the foremost hockey broadcasts in future issues of THE HOCKEY NEWS and trust you will be pleased with them. Thanks for your other suggestions which we are unable to print here.)</p><h2><b>LIKED FIRST ISSUES</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I thought your first weekly issue this season dated October 6th was great. I thoroughly enjoyed all the training camp gossip. It makes a hockey fan very pleased to think he is right on top of the scene at all times, and by reading your paper regularly he is just that.</p><p>Keep up the good work and I know it won&rsquo;t be long before every hockey fan in America is a subscriber to your excellent paper.</p><p>Tommy Grieves Chicago, Ill.</p><h2><b>EAGLE-EYED FAN</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I have a complaint to make about your great paper. It does not, at times, present the facts very well. In your reply to Harry Smith, about having a story on Tommy Ivan in the October 13 issue, I find that it appeared a week before that.</p><p>Then, in your reply to Marion Cardach about Harry Lumley&rsquo;s age, you put him down as 23 this year. How could that be if he was born in 1926? My third and last beef is in your article on Frank Boucher&rsquo;s Memory story. It states that Max Bentley won the scoring championship last season, and that Maurice Richard came second. I would like to see Elmer Lach and Buddy O&rsquo;Connor get credit for that.</p><p>John H. MacKinnon Toronto, Ont.</p><p>(We have just shot three proof readers and must admit we have red faces.)</p><h2><b>CROSSWORDS FAN</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Having been a subscriber to your paper since its origin I would like to take this long overdue opportunity of congratulating you on your work.</p><p>Have noticed several comments on the crossword puzzle question, I think that it is certainly an asset to the paper and hope you will continue with it. I work out the puzzles and find it not only an added enjoyment but very educational, as far as hockey is concerned. In many instances it lets one know things about the game and who plays it which I failed to notice in any magazine or paper before.</p><p>As far as the characters who are against the puzzle, it is possible that they are either at a loss to know most of the answers, or when they settle themselves to read the paper they cannot find enough ambition to walk to the nearest desk for a pencil or pen.</p><p>In the October 13th issue I noticed a question in the puzzle regarding the Initials of Locking an A. H. L. referee. It reminded me of the fact that I have yet to see anything, in the line of an article, about Norm Locking. He is now a referee, I know, but I think that he is due for a little article on his playing career. I happen to know he had a fine record in the A. H. L. with Syracuse and the Cleveland Barons. He made the all-star team something like three years in a row are was awarded the most valuable player award while with the Syracuse Stars. Don&rsquo;t you think that is worthy of a little comment in some section of the paper? A story wouldn&rsquo;t hurt would it?</p><p>Harry Smith</p><p>Port Elgin, Ont.</p><p>(Thanks for the nice words Harry. We will see what we can do about running story on Norm Locking in the near future. Glad you like the crosswords).</p><h2><b>WANTS CROSSWORDS</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I am a subscriber to your paper and think that it is tne best on the newstands. In the October 6th issue, I noticed a letter from a certain Gerald A. Ray of Middleton, N. S. concerning the crosswords in you paper.</p><p>I disagree with him and think you should keep cn printing the crosswords to help a person to keep up to dale on the lives and actions of well known hockey players. Do not dispense with them because they are a sort of history book on hockey past and present.</p><p>Winnipeg, Man.</p><p>Charlie Greeson</p><h2><b>BIRTH OF N.H.L.</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I wonder if you could tell me how old the National Hockey League is and what clubs were its first member?</p><p>We all, in our house, think THE HOCKEY NEWS is a swell paper and hope it will continue to appear for years to come.</p><p>James Bramson</p><p>Barrie, Ont.</p><p>(Yes James, we can answer your question. The N.H.L. was formed November 22, 1917 which is just about 31 years ago. Four clubs started. They were two from Montreal, the Canadiens and Wanderers along with Ottawa and Toronto.)</p><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Last year the first N.H.L. AllStar game was played in Toronto. This year the annual classic is to be played in Chicago. Would you please tell me who decides where the games are played?</p><p>By the way, I too am in favor of the weekly crossword puzzles. It is another great feature In your paper.</p><p>Vincent Pateras.</p><p>Montreal, Que.</p><p>(The N.H.L. Board of Governors decides where the All-star game is held each year.)</p><h2><b>HENRY&rsquo;S RECORD</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Being a Chicago Black Hawk fan, I was thrilled when they signed Jim &ldquo;Sugar&rdquo; Henry as goalkeeper. To my mind he&rsquo;s one of the best in the business and I would like to know his record and teams he played with since he broke into professional ranks.</p><p>Chicago, Hl. Jane Clark</p><p>(Good looking fellow isn&rsquo;t he Joan? Henry started his pro career with New York Rangers in 1941-42. They won the league title that season but were ousted from the Stanley Cup playoffs by Toronto. He went into the Canadian armed forces until 1945-4(1 when he played goal for Rangers and New Haven. That&rsquo;s the way it&rsquo;s been ever since, dividing his time between the two teams. His record as pro, prior to this season, shows he&rsquo;s allowed 704 goals in 213 games. He has had 13 shutouts).</p><h2><b>STANLEY CUP HISTORY</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I wonder if you would be kind enough to settle an argument? The other day a few friends of mine were talking about the Stanley Cup. One of the boys claimed that it had been won by a Winnipeg team years ago, while the rest of the gang claimed it had never been competed for outside of eastern Canada. Who&rsquo;s right?</p><p>William Schwartz</p><p>Regina, Sask.</p><p>(The fellow who claimed Winnipeg had won the Stanley Cup knew what he was talking about. The Winnipeg Victorias did it twice. The first time was in 1895-96 and again in 1900-01. The cup was originally a challenge Cup which was competed for by amateur teams, but it later passed on to professional clubs and Is now regarded as emblematic of the hockey championship of the world).</p><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>This is my first letter to THE HOCKEY NEWS. I just want to tell you that I like the crosswords and hope you will continue to print them each week. They help me increase my knowledge of the - game.</p><p>Quebec, Que. E. Bedard</p><h2><b>COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Reading THE HOCKEY NEWS, I have been disappointed in not finding more write ups about junior hockey. It seems to me that there is too much about professional hockey and not enough amateur. While I do enjoy reading something about the &ldquo;play-for-pay&rdquo; boys, I would also like to know how amateur teams all over the country are doing. How about it?</p><p>Harvey Dyke Edmonton, Alta.</p><p>(We intend to give coverage to amateur hockey, Harvey. Some of the top amateur leagues have only Just started playing and we will be printing stories about them in the near future.)</p><h2><b>ASK GOALKEEPERS</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I have read a lot about what a great player Maurice (Rocket) Richard of Montreal Canadiens is. Do you think he&rsquo;s as good as they say? I would appreciate your answer to this question.</p><p>Bob Dawes.</p><p>Winnipeg, Man.</p><p>(That&rsquo;s a beauty of a one to answer. We would ask you to write to the goalkeepers of various N.H.L. clubs in care of the team in the city in which they play and ask them. &hellip;After all, they are the guys who have to try and stop him.)<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

NATIONAL LEAGUE

<p class="dropcap"><span>B</span>y scoring two shutouts during the week. Bill Durnan, goalkeeper for Montreal Canadiens, has been named by THE HOCKEY NEWS as the league&rsquo;s top player for the past week and winner of the Morgan Hat Award.</p><p>Durnan blanked Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday 5-0 and then shutout Detroit Red Wings in a scoreless tie. Bill has not allowed a goal in the last 160 minutes he has played. Chicago Black Hawks netted in the first period of their game and since that time, Durnan has been a stonewall.</p><p>In four games to date, Durnan has allowed three goals. His work against the Leafs was a smart exhibition of goaltending and the big fellow seems headed towards another great season.</p><p>Bill has won the Vezina trophy four years. They all came in a row. He came to the Canadiens from Montreal Royal Seniors and is married</p><p>Durnan was born in Toronto, January 22, 1915. Many followers of the game will tell you that he&rsquo;s the greatest goalie in the business today. His record speaks for itself.</p><p>He&rsquo;s played all his pro hockey for the Canadiens. His best year was in 1945-46 when he only allowed 104 pucks to get past him.</p><p>Bill spends most of his time in the summer months playing softball and golf. He&rsquo;s as good as on the diamond and fairway as he is in the nets, which makes him a star at three games.</p><p>Some experts claim that Durnan has the best defense in hockey in front of him and that&rsquo;s why he has such an amazing record. One just needs to watch him in action to realize that he&rsquo;s a great goalkeeper in his own right regardless of what defense he works behind. He&rsquo;s a master at his trade, make no mistake about that.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-0428/925163-1-eng-US/f0007-042.jpg" title="f0007-04" width="282" height="431"></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

<p>INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.&mdash;</p><p>A hat trick in his first professional hockey game!</p><p>That was Gerald Reid&rsquo;s contribution to the Indianapolis Caps 5-to-1 triump over Buffalo in their opening game of the season.</p><p>And any of the 6,830 spectators who witnessed Gerry&rsquo;s sensational debut are confident that his performance was no &ldquo;flash in the pan.&rdquo; He handled himself like a veteran and there was no &ldquo;fluke&rsquo; connected with any of his tallies.</p><p>Reid was celebrating his 20th. birthday when he was introduced to Hoosier fans at a clinic held in the Coliseum in the night before the opening contest and he has a younger brother, Ted, now only 14 years old, who also is regarded as an outstanding professional prospect.</p><p>Gerry has been playing hockey for bight seasons and&rsquo; he was a member of the Barrie Flyers last year when they won the amateur junior championship of Eastern Canada. Previously he had played on his home town club at Owen Sound, Ont.</p><h2>Clever Player</h2><p>At Barrie he collected 28 goals and 34 assists for a total of 62 points in 36 games and he displayed a lot of cleverness around the net in his pro debut against Buffalo. As an amateur he also spent some time as a right wing, but he prefers to be at center because of the greater range permitted players assigned to that position.</p><p>Reid&rsquo;s first goal against Buffalo came at 8:59 of the opening period on a rebound opportunity against Connie Dion after a long shot by Al Dewsbury. Reid picked&rsquo; up the puck from about 10 feet out, directly in front of the net and fired a knee-high shot into the left corner.</p><h2>Nice Play</h2><p>Twenty-one seconds after Buffalo had tied score in the second period, Reid connected again at 16:18 with some of the best stickhandling ever displayed by an Indianapolis rookie. Sweeping across in front of the cage, from his own right, he made two clever feints and had Dion flat on the ice before lifting a back-handed flip shot into the net.</p><p>His third goal was registered at 12:55 of the final period on a three-man rush with the veteran Enio. Sclisizzi and Fred Glover, another rookie.</p><p>Then the Caps collected their other two goals as the game drew to a close while Terry Sawchuck, the Indianapolis rookie goal tender who shared the spotlight with Reid&rsquo; during the contest continued to turn back every late Buffalo drive.</p><p>The only goal scored against Sawchuk in the opener, incidentally, was by Leo Gravelie.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Indianapolis Rookie Nets 3 In First Game

<h2><b>Smith A Saint</b></h2><p class="dropcap"><span>C</span>lint Smith, coach of St. Paul Saints, was called a &ldquo;gentleman&rdquo; in the years he won the Lady Byng Trophy. Clint now claims a promotion because as pilot of the St. Paul club lie is a &ldquo;Saint&rdquo; of the lower case variety.</p><h2><b>Coast Star Shines</b></h2><p>Gordon Fashaway, who played a lot of wing for New Westminster In the PCHL last season, seems to have earned a berth for himself with the tough K. C. Pla-Mors of the USHL Reg Hamilton, K.C. coach, expects Fashaway to develop into a major league star.</p><h2><b>HOW THE RACE GOES</b></h2><p>Standing on Tuesday A.M., Oct. 26.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-01105/925743-1-eng-US/f0011-012.jpg" title="f0011-01" width="604" height="337"></div><p>As the XJ.S.H.L. 1948-49 campaign swung into its third week, there were surprises galore and topsyturvy happenings. Before the weekend games were played, students of the statistics scanning the league&rsquo;s records were surprised to find a goaltender heading the penalty parade.</p><p>Paul Bibeault, former N.H.L. puck stopper now kicking them out for the Dallas Texans, headed the parade with 12 minutes in penalties &mdash; probably the first time in any league, pro or amateur, that such a dubious honor has gone to one of the padded fraternity.</p><p>Netminders around the circuit all seem a trifle short-tenfperel this year, with Freckles Little of Tulsa and Jim Shirley of Omaha both drawing penalties in the first two weeks of the season.</p><p>In legitimate goaltending activities, burly Al Rollins of Kansas City Pla-Mors was pacing the pack with a brilliant display in his pro debut. Rollins last winter tended the twines for Edmonton Flyers, Canada&rsquo;s Allan Cup champions.</p><p>Other surprises in the youthful season was the strong showing made by St. Paul Saints in the Northern Division and Tulsa Oilers in the Southern Division. Both teams bid fair to give the other squads plently of trouble this year.</p><h3><b>WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13</b></h3><p>KANSAS CITY&mdash;Bing Juckes for St. Paul scored with less than two minutes to go to give St. Paul a 2-2 tie with Kansas City Pla-Mors before a crowd of 4,101.</p><p>It was the opening game for the U. S. Hockey League. The two teams came out in the early minutes of the first period with the score 1 to 1, with Hank Blade scoring for the Pla-Mors and Del-monte for the Saints. Pla-Mors took 40 shots at the goal, as compared with St. Paul&rsquo;s 29. Kansas City&rsquo;s new net minder, made 29 stops; the Saint&rsquo;s Jack McGill 40.</p><p><b>Kansas</b> City: Goal.

Quebec Senior League

<p>MONTREAL, Que. &mdash;</p><p>The 1948-49 National Hockey League season opened with 14 rookies dotting the line-ups of the six clubs. Heading the parade are New York Rangers with five freshmen on their roster. Toronto Maple Leafs are next with four followed in turn by Montreal Canadiens with two and Chicago Black Hawks, Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings with one each.</p><p>Four of the five Ranger rookies are forwards and all four come in to the League with impressive backgrounds. Nick Mickoski and Dune Fisher, two of the forwards, are graduates of the New Haven Ramblers where both starred last season, Mickoski, who was born in Winnipeg, Man., on December 7, 1927, stands an even six feet and weigh 185 pounds.</p><p>He started out last year with New York Rovers but after scoring 30 goals and assisting in 26 others he was soon promoted to the New Haven team in the American League. In 22 games with the Ramblers Nick scored 11 goals and was credited with 16 assists for 27 points. He really came up through the ranks last season, finishing the year playing with Rangers in the Stanley Cup playoffs against Detroit where he picked up one assist in two games.</p><h3><b>Chunky Lad</b></h3><p>Dune Fisher was born in Regina, Sask., on August 30, 1927. A chunky little fellow, he has 170 pounds spread over a 5&rsquo; 7&rdquo; frame. Rosy cheeked, he might well be described as a typical, &ldquo;kid off the block&rdquo;. A right winger, Dune &lsquo;scored 25 goals and had 34 assists for 59 points last season with New Haven. He was also called up to the Rangers during the playoffs and played one game in which he asisted in a goal. He&rsquo;s a heady player with lots of spunk and great things are expected of him by the New York management.</p><p>Pentti Lund is another Ranger forward who played last year in the A.H.L. Lund accumulated a total of 62 scoring points made up of 2 6 goals and 3 6 assists, with Hershey Bears last season. Pentti came to the Rangers from Boston as part of the Taylor-Warwick trade. He stands six feet and tips the scales at 185 pounds.</p><p>Born in Helsinki, Finland, Pentti, along with his brother Joe, came over to Canada from Finland by themselves. Pentti was six and Joe was four at the time. Joe is now one of the top defenseman on the Indianapolis Caps in the A.H.L. Boston Bruins called Lund up for two games in the playoffs last year against Toronto.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-0199/926185-1-eng-US/f0015-012.jpg" title="f0015-01" width="562" height="880"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>MAC McNAB</b></figcaption></div><h3><b>Big Rookie</b></h3><p>Clint Albright, the fourth rookie forward on Rangers, is the i only bespectacled player in the N.H.L. A left winger, standing six feet-one inch and weighing 180 pounds, Albright was born in Winnipeg, &ldquo;Man. on February 28, 1926. He made the jump to Rangers straight from amateur hockey. Last year he played senior hockey in Winipeg while attending the Univrsity of Manitoba. A keen student, Albright has one more year to go before graduating as a mechanical engineer. He has delayed his education temporarily to play professional hockey but is deternined to finish the one year he needs before graduating with a degree. He was a member of Winnipeg Monarchs Memorial Cup winners of 1945-46.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-0273/926178-1-eng-US/f0015-022.jpg" title="f0015-02" width="559" height="1009"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>FLEMING MACKELL</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>JUST MADE IT</b></h2><p>Fred Shero gets into the rookie classification by a single game as he played 19 games for Rangers last year. Last season with Rangers, Shero scored one goal. In 40 games with St. Paul Saints of the U.S.H.L. where he played the remainder of the regular season he tallied nine times, assisted on 14 others, for a total of 23 scoring points, while operating from a defense position.</p><p>A rugged athlete, weighing 185 pounds and standing 5&rsquo; 10&rdquo;, he played all six playoff games for Rangers last Spring where he garnered a single assist. Although he he is a defenseman he is sometimes used as forward in emergencies.</p><p>Most publicized amateur to turn pro this Fail was Frank Mathers. The big (six-foot, 187 pounds) all-round athlete signed with Toronto Maple Leafs after sidetracking a proposed dentistry course. Born in Winnipeg, Man. on March 29, 1924, the clever young defenseman played last year for the Allan Cup finalist Ottawa Senators. He had 11 goals, 23 assists, for 3 4 points during the regular campaign and was selected to a defense berth on the Quebec Senior League All-Star Team.</p><h3><b>Good Athlete</b></h3><p>An excellent football player, Mathers was a backfield standout for Ottawa Rough Riders for the last two years. He originally was Ranger property and came to the Leafs as part of the deal that sent Stanowski and Morris to the Blue Shirts for Gardener, Juzda and Trudell.</p><p>Toronto will have two spirited Irish kids this year from whom great things are expected by Coach Hap Day. They are Les Costello, 5&rsquo; 7&rdquo;, 157 pounds speedster who racked up 32 goals and 22 assists with Pittsburgh Hornets last season and Fleming Mackell, a 5&rsquo; 8&rdquo;, 158-pounder who scored 22 goals and had 43 assists last year for the same team.

George was a teammate of Albright&rsquo;s on the Winnipeg Monarchs of 1945-46, Memorial Cup champions.</p><h3><b>Cocky Rookie</b></h3><p>Still eligible for another year of junior hockey, Eddie Dorohoy is already spoken of as the cockiest rookie to come into the N.H.L. since Phil Walson made his appearance with Rangers a number of years ago. Eddie plays anywhere on the forward line and last season as a member of Lethbrige Native Sons, Western Canada Junior finalists, he scored 5 6 goals and picked up 8 8 assists for a total of 144 points. Dorohoy is of Ukrainian descent and was born at Medicine Hat, Alta, on March 13, 1S39.
