<div class="byline">&#x2014; By &#x2018;BUNNY&#x2019; MORGANSON &#x2014;</div><p class="dropcap"><span>S</span>tratford Indians are the &ldquo;bouncing babi es of the Ontario Hockey Association&rsquo;s Senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; series. After absorbing a 7-0 defeat in Hamilton on Nov. 6, they came right back before the home fans two days later with a 7-2 win over Owen Sound. From last place, after the Hamilton defeat, to third place after the Owen Sound victory is some bounce. But that&rsquo;s the way the five team Senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; group has been going this season. Take Toronto Marl-boros, they dropped their first three games, then played two overtime tie games against Owen Sound after which they scored shutout wins over Stratford and Kitchener at the Maple Leafs Gardens and a 2-1 win over Kitchener at the Waterloo Arena. Eight points out of a possible ten in their last five games has bounced the Joe Primeau coached Marlies from a dismal last to fourth position, one point behind Stratford.</p><p>Hamilton Tigers, with their old front line of Clarence Shillington, Johnny Conick and Dillon Brady, reunited for the first time in two seasons are speeding along the OHA trail as senior series leaders. They had their margin cut to a couple of points, but lost little time getting back into the &ldquo;championship gait&rdquo; with their rousing 7-0 win over Stratford, and now are four points ahead of the second place Owen Sound Mercurys.</p><h2><b>Are Disappointments</b></h2><p>Big disappointments in their last three games has been the showing of the well balanced Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen. They were beaten in Owen Sound by a close 3-2 decision and then fell to pieces In all departments except goaltending before Toronto Marlboros to finish up on the sour end of a 4-0 decision. And to cap it all, the following evening before their home fans at the Waterloo Arena, the Dutchmen took another nose dive behind a 2-1 Toronto victory.</p><p>Although there is a long way to go yet before the schedule winds up in February, the OHA senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; series appears to be from this corner, a wild scramble between four clubs, Owen Sound, Stratford, Marlboros and Kitchener-Waterloo in their effort to catch the grand ol&rsquo; men of the Hamilton Tigers&rsquo; crew. Tigers, when they are all in one piece form a pretty potent hockey machine. However injuries may halt their progress a little. It has been noted that two injuries already suffered by Clarence Shillington, their scoring centre star, has resulted in three defeats.</p><p>Goal-tending around the OHA senior circuit appears to be a little better than last season. Howie Harvey of the Marlies came up with two straight shutouts and allowed but one goal in three games, and that means 180 minutes of rival puck shooting. Hamilton&rsquo;s Arthur Childs continues to amaze his mates and critics with a high class display.</p><p>Marcel Pelletier appears to have won himself a lot of fan support with several neat performances in behalf of the Kitchener Dutchmen. Owen Sound has adopted Frank Boucher&rsquo;s old system of working two goalies in turn with Bobby Gillson and Tommy Grattan sharing the net - minding chores. Another veteran of the big pads, Bobby Bindernagle, has come up with a high class goal-tending display for Stratford Indians.</p><h2><b>Saints Lead</b></h2><p>While St. Catharines Tee-Pees are well in front of the Ontario Hockey Association&rsquo;s junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; series with one defeat and a tie in their eleven starts, they will get the &ldquo;acid test&rdquo; in their coming two games against the second place Windsor Spitfires, who have maintained an undefeated record in seven games. After these two games, one should have a more definite picture as to the actual strength of the two leading clubs.</p><p>Oshawa Generals and Barrie Flyers, last year&rsquo;s OHA champions, are running neck and neck for the third and second positions. Both clubs are former contenders and they&rsquo;ll likely wind up that way again as they are rounding up strong clubs for the stretch drive. Tommy Anderson, the former Cowboy of New York American fans, has left no stone unturned in his efforts to ice another solid crew for the Oshawa fans. And Leighton &ldquo;Happy&rdquo; Emms at Barrie, insists his club isn&rsquo;t nearly as good as last year&rsquo;s championship crew, but he&rsquo;ll be in there trying right to the final bell.</p><h2><b>Praise Sherry</b></h2><p>Bill Sherry, former defense player for Hamilton Tigers, is winning praise around the junior circuit for his excellent coaching job with the Guelph Biltmores who celebrated the official opening of their new Memorial Gardens Arena recently.</p><p>Sherry has the Guelph Hatmen in fifth place, one point ahead of the improving St. Michael&rsquo;s Majors. There&rsquo;s another club that may upset the wise boys. With Timmy Horton still the spear-head on defense, and a group of puck-hungry lads on the front lines, Joe Primeau is serving up that pleasing brand of passing attack that won the Memorial Cup for St. Michael&rsquo;s College two years ago.</p><p>Stratford Kroehlers, Galt Rockets and Toronto Marlboros have been early season disappointments, playing in - and - out hockey.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Charlie is not alone in his opinion, as the 20-year-old Bruins center, has been earmaked for stardom ever since he began playing organized hockey as a bantam at 13.</p><p>Boston Bruins made a brilliant coup when they signed Sandford to a professional contract last season. Every team in professional hockey was chasing him, and it nearly broke Conn Smythe&rsquo;s heart when the Torontonian inked a contract with the Art Ross club. Bruins&rsquo; Chief Scout Harold &ldquo;Baldy&rdquo; Cotton really deserves the accolades for the signing of Sandford as it was Cotton who first spotted big Ed playing Junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; hockey with Toronto St. Mikes four years ago.</p><h2><b>Sparkled As Amateur</b></h2><p>Two years ago, the six-foot, 180-pounder, was rated the greatest amateur player in Canada as he sparked and captained Toronto St. Mikes to the Memorial Cup.</p><p>A serious student, Eddie was studying for his final exams at St. Michael&rsquo;s College when he signed his contract with the Bruins. &ldquo;Mr. Ross&rsquo; offer was so good,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t turn It down.&rdquo; He still has one year of college left and hopes to finish it in the off season.</p><p>&ldquo;Sandy&rdquo;, as he is called by his teammates and close friends, did not make too auspicious a debut into the National League last season. In 59 games he scored 10 goals and assisted in 15 others for 25 points. However, he was only 19 years old, still eligible for junior competition, and had made the big jump from amateur ranks to the N.H.L. in a single step.</p><h2><b>Has One Ambition</b></h2><p>One thing that impressed hockey critics about his play last season was bis dogged determination to improve, and he was a totally different player at the end of the season, displaying some of the spark that has stamped him throughout his career, His ambition is, and always has been, to be a great hockey star and he stays far away from anything that might deter him from reaching his goal.</p><p>Resolved to better his first-year scoring record with the Bruins, Eddie spent all last summer carrying bricks for a Toronto contractor.</p><p>&ldquo;It was the best thing for getting me into top shape,&rdquo; Sandford told us while lacing on his skates just before stepping out on the ice against Canadiens in Montreal.</p><p>Dit Clapper, Boston&rsquo;s well-liked coach, told newspapermen at the Bruins&rsquo; Hershey training camp that he had never seen a hockey player report in better condition than Sandford did at the start of this season.</p><p>In the first five games of the current season, Ed scored half as many goals as he scored in 59 games a year ago. His five goals and five assists placed him at the top of the individual scoring race, a position from which it might be tough for other N.H.L. players to dislodge him.</p><h2><b>Style Of Nels Stewart</b></h2><p>Sandford&rsquo;s hockey style has been compared with that of Syl Apps and Nels Stewart but actually we think it would be closer to Stewart as Eddie hasn&rsquo;t the speed that Apps had. His Bruin teammates claim he is more like big Nels, because he is so strong it is difficult to separate him from the puck, and around the net he knows how to score &hellip; and that&rsquo;s for sure.</p><p>Several players in the N.H.L. have remarked how tight he grips his stick. &ldquo;You&rsquo;d think he Had it cemented in his gloves,&rdquo; one robust-checking defenseman told us recently.</p><p>Soft-spoken and gentle in manner off the ice, Sandford is not one of the effervescent players on the team. Yet, he is far from being a bore, and can usually be counted on to come through with an apt remark when the occasion demands it.</p><p>Sandford joined the Bruins along with his cousin and constant companion, Ed Harrison. They had both played together at St. Mikes and had an agreement before they signed professionally that they would stick together when they made the leap to pro ranks. Eddie&rsquo;s dad and Harrison&rsquo;s mother are brother and sister. Both boys are devout Catholics and always wear their scapular medals around their necks.</p><h2><b>No Surprise To Pals</b></h2><p>That Sandford has suddenly blossomed out as a dominant figure In the N.H.L. scoring race does not surprise those who have followed the sandy - haired youth&rsquo;s career through minor hockey ranks in and around Toronto. Ed was born at Mimico, Ont., a suburb of Toronto, on August 20, 1928, and played all his amateur hockey in Mimico and Toronto. He was a member of a championship team every year in amateur hockey.</p><p>Whether he can cary some of this championship lure over to the Bruins remains to be seen. One thing is certain, the husky kid you see wearing the number 7 Boston jersey these nights is destined&rsquo;for stardom, and when opposing teams are badly beaten by the Bruins, they will not have been taken to the cleaners &mdash; they&rsquo;ll have been Sandford-iced!<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Eddie Sandford Headed For Stardom

<p class="dropcap"><span>O</span>n the first six goals to be scored on Boston&rsquo;s Frank Brim-sek this season, the Bruins were a man short.

AGES BY TEAMS

<div class="byline">By GEORGE JOHNSON</div><p>INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.&mdash;</p><p>St. Louis and Buffalo, both of the powerful western division, have furnished most of the material for conversation during the first month of the American League season. After spending all of its four years in the league holding up the rest of the western clubs, St. Louis played .727 hockey in its first 11 games this fall, springing into first place in the division and the league as a whole. Buffalo, after six successive years of qualifying for the Calder Cup playoffs, won only three of its first nine games for Coach Toe Blake and fell headlong into the division cellar. The Bisons&rsquo; stumbling start was easier to explain than the quick getaway of the Flyers.</p><p>The difference between this year&rsquo;s St. Louis Club and last year&rsquo;s is Johnny Mariucci, the former Chicago defenseman, and five players who were with Indianapol is when that team collapsed last winter and ran fourth in the west.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-012/877709-1-eng-US/f0001-012.jpg" title="f0001-01" width="589" height="877"></div><h2><b>POWER AGAINST POWER</b></h2><p>Some feel that the Flyers are playing over their heads. The fact is, though, that St. Louis won seven and tied two of its first 11 while placing away from home most of the time, and most of the time against western teams.</p><p>Ebbie Goodfellow&rsquo;s rebuilt Flyers had a 3-2-2 road record and a perfect 4-0-0 home standing starting this month. They finished October by winning three and tying two contests on a week-long tour. In November, they&rsquo;ll play eight of 11 matches in their own Ibig Arena, and eight of the 11 against western opponents. When December blows in, the wintertime Missourians will have behind them 15 intradivision games, compared to only seven with weaker eastern-division crews. If they come out of November among the front-runners, the claim that they are early-bloomers will be pointless.</p><p>Mariucci and Goalie Ralph (Red) Almas have been the leaders of the renaissance in what is one of the best hockey towns in the country. With them as the defensive strongpoints, St. Louis has given up only 24 goals in 11 games, compared to the 44 which the 1947-48 team yielded in its first 11 assignments.</p><p>Almas has three shutouts already, as many as he turned in in his previous two years of pro play, both with Indianapolis, and was running second in the goals-against averages with 2.18, compared to his 3.36 mark at Indianapolis two years ago, when he had a good year, and his 3.78 with the Caps last winter, when he spent a most unhappy season with a disorganized club.</p><p>Mariucci, who seems to inspire the boo-birds despite the fact that he plays rough only when played against roughly, has infused the Flyer backliners with several pints of poise.</p><h2><b>HUSTLE DOES IT</b></h2><p>Goodfellow credits his team&rsquo;s unexpected showing to hustle, although he said before the race began that &ldquo;I believe this is our year.&rdquo; His charges began to make their race without Pete Backor, who centered their rookie line last year, and with such veterans as Don Grosso approaching their peaks slowly, aware that a lot of pucks will fly before the campaign is ended.</p><p>Grosso is centering a line including Paul Gladu, presently the&rdquo; club&rsquo;s top scorer, and Tony Licari an addition from Indianapolis. The second line has included Lloyd Doran from Indianapolis at center and Billy McComb at left wing, with Norm Tustin and Barry Sullivan another former Cap. sharing the right side. Ernie Trigg has been working between Steve Black and Johnny Raynak, Backor&rsquo;s partners last year. Hec Pozzo has been the 17th man.</p><p>Mariucci and Eddie Olson have been the starting defensemen, being spelled by Vic Grigg, George Milligan and Thain Simon, another acquisition in the deal with Indianapolis who held out briefly.</p><h2><b>BISONS DISAPPOINT</b></h2><p>While St. Louis, with revisions throughout, has soared into the lead&rsquo;, Buffalo, with just about the same club of old-timers which was third in the West last season, has sagged badly.</p><p>The Bisons won three and tied one of their first four games before their own implacable home partisans, but also lost their first five road battles to sink to eighth Place in the over-ail league standings. with only 7 points to show for their first nine engagements. The best they did against western rivals in October was to tie St. Louis at the start of the Flyers&rsquo; happy eastern swing, losing to St. Louis, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh at those places.</p><p>Traffic between Buffalo and Houston, its United States League farm, has grown heavier as Coach. Toe Blake hunts for men who are in shape to get his club moving toward its normal position. Four men who opened the season with the Bisons already have departed, two to Houston.</p><p>Blake shifted forward Jack Giesebrecht and rookie Defenseman Ray Gariepy. to Houston. He sent Joe Bell, a good shot who can play when he feels like it, to Dallas of the U.S.H.L. He also traded Jack McGill, who came from Hershey In an off-season deal, to Providence.</p><h2><b>THREE STRANGERS</b></h2><p>The three strangers in Buffalo&rsquo;s lineup now are defenseman Tom Johnson, just breaking into pro competition, and left wing Kenny MacKenzie and defenseman Lloyd Finkbeiner, who were with Houston when Blake began his coaching career there last winter.</p><p>The rest of the club is another year older, and naturally slower to get into form than younger teams. Whether it can get ready to give its principal opponents an even battle before they get too far ahead is problematical.</p><p>The early returns leave no doubt that the best teams are jammed together in the western division again. Of the 21 October games between eastern and western entries, the West won 17 and tied one, taking 11 without a miss in its own larger rinks. Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Buffalo entered the second month of the season unbeaten at home. Cleveland, which won 19 and tied 6 of its 34 away games last season, won four of its first five in the view of hostile crowds.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

REBUILT FLYERS TALK OF AHL

<div class="byline">By TRENT FRAYNE</div><p class="dropcap"><span>W</span>hen a flying puck sent a stream of blood the size of the River Dnieper coursing down the cheeks of &ldquo;Prince Charlie&rdquo; Rayner just about a year ago, his business partner gulped down great sobs and moved into the New York Ranger goal to replace him.</p><p>His business partner was (and is) Sugar Jim Henry (they own a summer resort called Hockey Haven) and every time an Injury smote down Rayner he would be called from New Haven to look after the Ranger cell until Rayner got well. Every time he got off the train at Grand Central his eyes were red from weeping and if the red caps at the station had observed that his love for his business partner was a thing of beauty and highly emotional Indeed, why then the red caps at the station would have been wrong.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0110/875722-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="502" height="856"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b><i>On The Loose</i></b></p><p><b>JIM HENRY</b></p></figcaption></div><h2><b>Like A Willow?</b></h2><p>&ldquo;If Chuck never got hurt I&rsquo;d never get called up by the Rangers&rdquo;, Henry once explained, weeping like a willow, and If I never got called up by the Rangers then I&rsquo;d get traded to Chicago and It I got traded to Chicago then I&rsquo;d be safe for good and sure in the N.H.L.&rdquo;</p><p>Safe, he says&rsquo;.</p><p>Well, it turned out that four Rangers were hurt in a preseason automobile accident and their desperation for front line help Induced them to trade Henry to Chicago and now the only time he can force a smile is when he thinks of those wonderful nights back In New Haven when the only thing he risked was his pride. With Chicago, it&rsquo;s his life.</p><p>In their first four games the Hawks were nosed out 8 to 2, 8 to 3, 6 to 1 and 3 to 1.</p><p>Gus Bodnar, the Chicago centre was talking about it the other day and he explanned it this way:</p><p>&ldquo;When we had Cat Francis we knew he was young and inexperienced so we always worked twice as hard to protect our net. As soon as we got Henry we knew our goalkeeping worries were over so everybody relaxed.&rdquo;</p><p>Consequently, riding on a great crest of pro-season enthusiasm and practically no hard work, the Hawks dropped their opener in Detroit and then performed scandalously in Boston, Montreal and Toronto allowing 22 goals and scoring six.</p><p>I am compelled to confess a great admiration for Henry. He has offered no alibis. I asked him if the breaks were going against him.</p><h2><b>Suitcase Trail</b></h2><p>&ldquo;No I don&rsquo;t think you can say that,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;The other clubs have been hot and their shots have been knocking the paint off the inside of the posts. Our club had a five-day layoff just before the season opened and we lost a lot of condition. Another thing; we&rsquo;ve been living out of a suitcase for seven weeks.

Manitoba Hockey Official May Head Winnipeg Blue Bombers Rugby Club

<div class="byline">By FRED W. EDWARDS</div><p>MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. &mdash;</p><p>If hockey is ever to gain the same plane in United States that it holds in Canada, then men of the calibre of Ed Klap-prick, of Wayzata, Minnesota, will be primarily responsible. He is the type that remembers his own boyhood days and wants to see the new generation have some of the fun he had under a little better conditions. &ldquo;I used to love hockey and baseball, but, of course, in those days we never had the opportunity to go places In these sports like the youngsters of today, &ldquo;he said.</p><p>A year ago Klapprick attended the first annual meeting of the Minnesota State Amateur Hockey Association at St. Paul, Minn. After listening intently to the discussions and injecting one question, &ldquo;Could Wayzata be entered in the B Class or Intermediate playdowns if they formed a league&rdquo;, he went to work and virtually fashioned a league out of nothing.</p><h2><b>Others Get Interested</b></h2><p>While Wayzata didn&rsquo;t enter the lists for the playdowns last year, they did have a four-team circuit and as a direct resultof the efforts put forth by the enterprising Klapprick other nearby towns are planning rinks and teams to join with Wayzata in a Minnetonka North Shore loop this winter.</p><p>The Minneapolis Millers of the United States Hockey League lent Klapprick a helping hand in building up the Wayzata League by sending several of its players to Wayzata to give demonstrations and a chalk talk. Later Wayzata teams were invited to give an exhibition period of a regular U.S.H.L. fixture at the Minneapolis Arena, receiving thunderous applause from a capacity house.</p><h2><b>Sandlot Produces Idea</b></h2><p>Klapprick went a step further in his program to perpetuate hockey in the Minnetonka area.</p><p>He got the idea from his youngest son during the summer when the lad said to him, &ldquo;Dad, come on over to the Sandlot and watch us play baseball.&rdquo; After shaking his head and saying he had too many chores to do, he decided he would go over and take a look from a distance.</p><p>His genuine interest and enthusiasm had such widespread effect that at a recent banquet honoring tse &ldquo;Little Giants&rdquo;, tho Wayzata Rotary club made an offer to sponsor them in both baseball and hockey. Needless to say it was promptly taken up with loud &ldquo;hurrahs&rdquo; from the future Big Leaguers of Sandlot and Pond.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Here’s One Keen Fan Who Aims To See Kids Get Break In Hockey

<div class="byline">By DAVE FARRELL</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0003-03" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-035/875839-1-eng-US/f0003-032.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>TOMMY McCARTHY</b></figcaption></div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>How would you like to take in every sporting attraction that comes to Boston and get paid for it at the same time? Sounds like quite a job, and it is. Just ask Tommy McCarthy, the man who sees all Boston Bruin home games, the various ice shows and prize fights, every Red Sox and Braves game, rodeos, circuses and what have you, as part of his job.</p><p>Tommy is press-box custodian of the Boston Garden where all Bruin games are played. He has held down this position for the past 19 years and as you would expect of someone who has seen enough hockey, his first love is the ice game. It has only been within the last 10 years that he has taken over the press-box duties in Fenway Park and Braves Field, the home of the Sox and Braves.</p><p>Extremely popular with all the writers. Tommy takes care of their every need and supplies them with paper, lineups, press releases, programs and anything else that will facilitate their covering the games. Another of his duties is to keep in contact with the progress of out-of-town hockey games and relay the scores of these games to all the scribes. When visiting sportswriters come to Boston, Tommy always sees to it that they get choice press seats so that their stay will be as comfortable as possible.</p><p>Nineteen years of watching National League hockey have made quite a hockey bug out of Tommy as well as an expert in his own right.</p><p>&ldquo;Although this past baseball season here in Boston was exciting enough to keep even the most ardent hockey fan on edge, I couldn&rsquo;t wait for the Bruins to play their first home game here,&rdquo; Tommy explained. &ldquo;You just can&rsquo;t help getting more worked up about hockey than any other sport. It&rsquo;s in my blood now and I&rsquo;ll be a hockey addict for the rest of my life. But am I complaining? I should say not!&rdquo;</p><h2><b>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s Boston&rsquo;s Year!&rdquo;</b></h2><p>&ldquo;You know,&rdquo; he continued, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve gone south with the Red Sox to spring training the past two years, but rather than do that again next March, I want to see the Bruins sweep through the playoffs and capture the Stanley Cup. This might be their year. They certainly looked good in their first few games this season. After all, someone has to carry the banner for Boston this year, what with the Red Sox and Braves going down to defeat at the hands of Cleveland. I think the Big Brown Bear (symbol of the Bruins) will turn the trick this season.&rdquo;</p><p>Tommy lives in East Cambridge, Massachusetts (just outside Boston) with his widowed mother whom he supports. Talking with him, you detect a strong note of sincerity and loyalty which his Irish face portrays. His friendliness and eagerness to do a thorough job have begun to pay off for him. During the late World Series, the Braves took him along as their guest to Cleveland for the three games that were played there. After the Bruins eliminated the Detroit Red Wings in the opening round of the 1946 Stanley Cup playoffs, the Boston hockey writers invited Tommy to join them for the finals in Montreal.</p><p>Tommy Has Seen Them All - - Hockey&rsquo;s Tops</p><h2><b>His Biggest Thrill</b></h2><p>&ldquo;That was some trip,&rdquo; he recalled. &ldquo;I never saw such rabid hockey fans as they have in Montreal. Why the fans up there go crazy when the Canadians score a goal. They throw everything on the ice, they&rsquo;re so excited.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I hope I get a chance to go to a Canadian city during this year&rsquo;s playoffs. I love Canada &hellip; it&rsquo;s a nice country and the people treat you swell. One of the things that surprised me was the amount of silverware waitresses put before you when you eat in a Canadian restaurant. You never get anything like it down here.&rdquo;</p><p>There&rsquo;s no doubt about it&hellip; that trip to Montreal was one of the greatest thrills in Tommy&rsquo;s life. And the popularity of his job has been increasing in recent years. As one Boston hockey writer pointed out, Tommy has so glamorized his profession that dozens of kids, who at one time wanted to be firemen, reporters or baseball players, now wish to grow up to be ushers.</p><h2><b>Weiland His Pick</b></h2><p>Tommy has seen many hockey players come and go in his 19 years at the Boston Garden. But of all the players he ever watched, Cooney Weiland was his idol.</p><p>&ldquo;Cooney was my favorite player, both on and off the ice,&rdquo; he remarked. &ldquo;He was the best poke checker I ever saw. That was back in the days when crowds of 17,000 used to jam their way into the Garden.&rdquo; (Ed. note &mdash; Since the Cocoanut Grove disaster in Boston in 1941, fire laws have been enacted which limit maximum attendance in the Garden to 13,909.)</p><p>&ldquo;As much as I liked Cooney, I&rsquo;d have to give the nod to Howie Morenz as center on an all-time National Hockey League All-Star team. Morenz was very fast and was always all over the ice. He could stickhandle and do anything with a puck.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;At right wing I&rsquo;d have Howie&rsquo;s lineman, Aurel Joliat, who was a skillful passer and a fancy dan on skates. Milt Schmidt, though normally a center, would be my choice for left wing. Milt is generally regarded as the greatest player in the game today and he&rsquo;d make an excellent wing on a line with Morenz and Joliat.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;A pair of All-Star defensemen are easy to choose. Eddie Shore and Babe Siebert, going away. Both of them had plenty of guts and were afraid of no one.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Selection of a goalie is a tough one because there have been so many outstanding cagemen in the past 25 years. Chuck Gardiner, the old Chicago Black Hawks standby, stands out above the others. He was a jackrabbit in the net. You could never catch him napping, he was always on the spot.&rdquo;</p><p>Morenz, Joliat, Schmidt, Shore, Siebert and Gardiner comprise a very formidable team. You have to go a long way before you could top such an aggregation of stars.</p><p>A close student of the game, Tommy hates to miss a Bruin game. Illness has occasionally prevented him from watching his favorites in action. Once, he almost suffered a heart attack after a playoff game between the Bruins and Rangers.</p><p>&ldquo;That was nine years ago during the seventh and deciding game of the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs game between the Bruins and Rangers,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;What an exciting game that was! The Bruins and Rangers were deadlocked at 1 to 1 until Mel Hill broke the game open in the third overtime period. That was after one o&rsquo;clock in the morning. I got so excited and worked up during that game that I became sick and was sent home by the Bruins doctor just after it was over. The champagne was flowing then&mdash;but not for me.&rdquo;</p><p>Well, there you have it, the story of Boston&rsquo;s number one sports fan. If you&rsquo;re ever in Boston for a Bruin game, take a look at the press box in the first balcony and you&rsquo;ll see him working diligently at the job he likes so well. A genial fellow, a hard worker and a rabid hockey fan, Tommy McCarthy is indispensable to the writers.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Tommy’s Seen Them All — But Hockey Is Number One

<div class="image-hero"><img title="f0004-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-0182/875870-1-eng-US/f0004-012.jpg"></div><p>HERSHEY, Pa. &mdash;</p><p>Rough and ready Andy Branigan, robust defenseman of the Hershey Bears, rated a cartoon in the Providence Evening Bulletin of November 1 last, following the 3-2 victory of the team over Terry Reardon&rsquo;s Reds</p><p>The cartoon by Frank Lanning showed the square-jawed defenseman in front of Gordie Henry in the net and on top of the net a symbolical figure of a bear. Branigan was shown lying on the ice, in front of him were eight pucks, and he was stopping another rubber with his left hand. At his legs was the Rhode Island Red rooster holding a hockey stick high in the air, saying, &ldquo;Git up oand fig ht like a man.&rdquo;</p><p>Lanning headed his cartoon &ldquo;Crack Safety Man&rdquo; and in the left corner was printed, &ldquo;Handy Andy Branigan, ace halfback, blocked nine potential Red&rsquo;s goals.&rdquo;</p><p>At 17 years of age Branigan, born in Winnipeg on April 11, 1922, was playing with the Winnipeg Monarchs, a junior hockey team, and his talents as a &ldquo;no-you-don&rsquo;t&rdquo; boy soon came to the attention of the scouts of the Springfield Indians.</p><p>At that time Eddie Shore, one of the greatest defenseman to ever play in the National Hockey League, had left the New York Americans, to purchase the Springfield Indians, which he coached and played on defense.</p><p>Without any doubt Branigan got his rough, ready and robust backline methods from Shore, who showed him how to do it and gave him polish.</p><p>The New York American scouts thought Branigan looked promising, and after his 1939-40 season with the Indians in which he played 50 games he skated in the livery of the Americans, under the tutelage of Red Dutton. In August of 1942 Branigan joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in the capacity of pilot instructor. He was stationed in Manitoba throughout his three years of service in World War II, earning a Pilot Officer&rsquo;s rating.</p><p>When he took off his Air Force uniform, the Detroit Red Wing organization invited him to come to its training camp, in which there were buddying Red Wings, Indianapolis Caps and Omaha Knights.</p><p>While in the service he kept in trim with hockey and made a reputation brandishing a potent Stick in the Manitoba Service League as a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force Bombers.</p><p>When the training season ended, Branigan was invited by the Detroit Red Wings to sign a contract, and he was assigned to the Indianapolis Caps for the 1945-46 season. In that campaign he played 62 games and had 4 goalsand 17 assists for 21 points.</p><p>At the beginning of the 1946-47 season Branigan was purchased from the Caps, and in a similar number of games for Hershey he ocored 6 goals and 9 assists for 15 points. Last season he had one goal and 11 assists for 12 points.</p><p>Branigan is an aggressive player and throws his 195 pounds powerfully against opponents. He made his backline work count not only in the regular season but in the playoffs of 1946-47 when the Hershey Bears won the American Hockey League championship. In the playoffs he scored one goal and had two assists.</p><p>Because of his height, 5 feet 11 inches, and his burnt red hair, he was early nicknamed &ldquo;Big Red&rdquo;. On the ice he is a hard hitter, who throws a very hard body check, and despite his weight he is a fast moving puck chaser.</p><p>When he was with the Indianapolis Caps, in a game between the Caps and the Buffalo Bisons in October of 1945, a four lap relay race took place between four veterans of each team. The veteran quartet raced around the Coliseum ice to chase the puck ahead of them and then pass it on at the expiration of one circuit around the cages.</p><p>The coaches selected Andy Branigan, Tony Bukovich, Eddie Reigle and Pete Leswick for the Caps and Larry Thibeault, Doug Lewis, Tommy Cooper and Freddie Hunt for the Bisons.</p><p>It was a fast, exciting race, which the Bisons won, and the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, through Lieutenant - Governor Richard T. James, presented each of the four Bisons with a $25 War Bond.</p><p>Branigan&rsquo;s sports aside from hockey are football and lacrosse. He was a member of the junior champions of Manitoba in 1939 and for three straight years his Inrosse teams were junior titlists.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Quarter Century

<div class="byline">By RON COOK</div><p>HAMILTON, Ont. &mdash;</p><p>It is not uncommon these days to read about the retirement of a hockey player after a long and lengthy career to read about the retirement from business of a former either as an amateur or a pro. However, it is uncommon hockey great who had a lenghty career as both an amateur and a pro, and then followed it up just as lengthy a business career.</p><p>Last week, one of hockey&rsquo;s all time great netminders, Perc LeSuer, retired after serving for almost fifteen years with radio station CROC in Hamilton as night supervisor.</p><p>As Perc stood on the stage of the radio station&rsquo;s concert theatre with the entire staff of fiftv gathered, they presented him with a solid gold watch, I wondered how many of those people had any idea as to what a long and colorful hockey career Perc had enjoyed before he even thought of going into radio.</p><p>Perc first came into hockey prominence away back at the turn of the century when, as a young fellow, he went to Smiths Falls to take up a position as a bank clerk and there he staved until 1906.</p><h2><b>Hit The Headlines</b></h2><p>It was late in the season of 1906 that Perc hit the hockey headlines. The famed Ottawa Silver Seven were engaged in a playoff with the Montreal Wanderers that spring, a two game total goals to count affair for the Stanley Cup. The Silver Seven, who had held the Stanley Cup for three straight years, lost the first game 9-1 and decided that possibly a change of goalkeepers was the answer to their problem of how to beat the Wanderers.</p><p>Accordingly, they sought out Perc LeSuer of Smiths Fails, Ont., who in 1904 had taken over the goalkeeping job with the Falls when the regular netminder took sick and had immediately become the talk of the country. It was the break of a lifetime for ypung LeSuer who wasted little time in raving yes and thus assured himself of a place in the hearts of hockey fans for years to come.</p><p>It would be a nice twist to this story if we could go on and recount how the Silver Seven, with LeSuer in the nets won the Stanley Cup, but unfortunately this story is true and not fiction, and such was not the case. However, the Silver Seven did lick the Wanderers in the second game. They beat them 9-3 but lost the round by two goals with LeSuer a standout in the Ottawa nets.</p><p>Looking back on his first game with the mighty Silver Seven, Perc recalls that it was a fellow by the name of Lester Patrick who scored all three of the Wanderers goals that night, the same fellow who years later while coaching and managing the New York Rangers went into the nets for his club in the Stanley Cup playoffs when his regular netminder, Lorne Chabot received an injury, and although he had never played goal before, his Rangers won the game with Lester permitting only one shot to get by him. The same Lester Patrick today is Vice-President of the New York Ranger Club.</p><p>The Silver Seven disbanded following the 1908 season and the next year a team called the Ottawas, with the famed &ldquo;Cyclone&rdquo; Taylor as its king-pin, won the Stanley Cup and of course LeSuer was in the nets.</p><p>The season of 1910 saw both LeSuer and Taylor turn pro, LeSuer with Ottawa and Taylor with the Renfrew Millionaires. That was the season that the Renfrew club crushed Ottawa in Renfrew and Taylor is reported to have skated through the Ottawa team<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Perc LeSuer Had Colorful Puck Life

<div class="image-hero"><img title="f0005-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-0133/875997-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><i>Farewell Sportscast</i></p><p><b>HERE&rsquo;S PERC GIVING out with his last sportscast before retiring from his duties at Station CROC, Hamilton.</b></p></figcaption></div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>The scoreless game played in Montreal on October 23 between Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings brought to mind the fact that scoreless games today are quite an oddity. There have been only 11 scoreless games played in the N.H.L. during the past 10 years.</p><p>The October 23 goal-shy tussle in Montreal was the first scoreless game to be played at the Forum since March 10, 19 36, when Montreal Maroons played to a scoreless stalemate with New York Rangers. Last time Canadiens were engaged in a game lacking any scoring on Forum ice was back on January 13, 1934. The old Ottawa Senators were Canadiens&rsquo; opponents that evening.</p><p>Two scoreless games were played in the National Hockey League last season and both were played in Boston. On November 30 the Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs shut each other out, while on March 17 the Bruins played through 60 minutes of scorless hockey with Detroit Red Wings.</p><p>The seasons of 1944-45 and 1939-40 also saw two goal-less contests recorded. Two scoreless games are the most recorded in a single season during the past 10 years. In the 1942-43 and 193839 seasons not one scoreless game was played throughout the entire schedule.</p><p>Before the 1941-42 season a 10 minute overtime period was played to settle all deadlocks. In the three seasons before 1941-42, and when the overtime sessions were in vogue, there were still three League fixtures that ended in scoreless draws.</p><p>Following are the dates of 11 scoreless games played in the N.H.L. during the past 10 years:</p><p><b>1947-48</b></p><p>November 30, Toronto 0 at Boston 0.</p><p>March 17 Detroit 0 at Boston 0.</p><p><b>1946-47</b></p><p>December 4, Detroit 0 at Chicago 0.</p><p><b>1945-46</b></p><p>December 31, Canadiens 0 at Rangers 0.</p><p><b>1944-45</b></p><p>February 18, Canadiens 0 at Chicago 0.</p><p>January 7, Chicago 0 at Rangers 0.</p><p><b>1943-44</b></p><p>February 20, Toronto 0 at Chicago 0.</p><p><b>1942-43</b></p><p>None played.</p><p><b>1941-42</b></p><p>January 27, Toronto 0 at Boston 0.</p><p><b>1940-41</b></p><p>March 1, Boston 0 at Toronto 0.</p><p><b>1939-40</b></p><p>December 17, Rangers 0 at Detroit 0.</p><p>March 14, Boston 0 at Rangers 0.</p><p><b>1938-39</b></p><p>None played.</p><p>backwards to score a goal. When we asked Perc about it he just smiled, said: &ldquo;Well, Taylor was a pretty good hockey player, the best I ever saw, but I don&rsquo;t believe any man was good enough to skate through any club backwards and score a goal if the other team didn&rsquo;t wish to let him&rdquo;. Perc went on to explain that Taylor had a terrific backhand shot and often used to skate right by rival netminders and then backhand the puck behind them after it seemed that he had gone too far by the net. He said that Taylor did this to him that night but he was positive that he never skated through the Ottawa team backwards to score a goal and nor did Lindsay, the Renfrew goalkeeper, score a goal in that game as recently reported in a popular magazine.</p><h2><b>Sold To Toronto</b></h2><p>Perc stayed in Ottawa until 1915 when was sold to the Toronto pro club and following one season with Toronto he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force and went overseas.</p><p>It was while Perc was still in Ottawa that he designed and took out a patent on the goalkeepers nets that are still in use in many amateur rinks today and which were used by the pro teams until the advent of what is. known as the Art Ross net.</p><p>Following the war Perc went into refereeing and worked in both the OHA and the NHL before turning to coaching in 1921. He then took Galt to the OHA Intermediate Championship in 1921.</p><p>The next highlight of Perc&rsquo;s career came in the 1924 season when he was handling the Hamilton hockey team. He found that his goalkeeper was forever falling down after kicking a hard shot out and came to the conclusion that his pads were too heavy. Accordingly he went to a softball manufacturer in Hamilton named Kenesky and asked him If he had anything he could use in the place of the heavy horse felt which would still give the protection he needed. He explained the entire problem to Kenesky and so it was that the goalkeepers pads which are in use today, came into being.</p><h2><b>Gives Up The Game</b></h2><p>In 1925 Perc went to Windsor where he managed the Windsor entry in the Senior OHA and in the succeeding years there followed a string of promotional firsts for LeSuer before he gave up the game entirely.</p><p>In 1926 he helped form the first minor professional hockey league which was called the Can-Pro League and consisted of teams from Windsor, Stratford, London, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, and Toronto.</p><p>In 1927 Perc organized the Detroit Olympics, farm club of the National Hockey League Detroit Cougars of that time, and in 1928 he moved to Buffalo to organize the Buffalo Bisons. During the season of &lsquo;29 he was in Syracuse where he organized the Stars and then growing tired of this nomadic existence he decided to quit hockey and enter the business world.</p><p>First h.e turned to newspaper work, a game at which he wasn&rsquo;t without experience, and from that he drifted naturally into radio and sportscasting.</p><p>Perc spent the greater part of his radio career with CROC in Hamilton although he did work for a time with CHML in the same city. During his time on the air he has interviewed all the greats and near - greats of the sports world. He helped his son get started in radio.</p><p>That in a few words is the story of Perc LeSuer up to the present, but if you ever chance to meet him and can get him talking about the &ldquo;good old days&rdquo; he can entertain you for hours upon end with stories of the old timers, many of them stories that have never been told before.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

NHL Scoreless Games Few And Far Between

<p>THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY WEEKLY</p><p>Founded October 1, 1947</p><p>Published by Hockey News Company, 603A Sun Life Building. Montreal, Que.</p><p>Yearly Subscription Price $2.50 in Canada $3.50 in U.S.A.</p><p>Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa.</p><p>VOL. 2 NOVEMBER 17, 1948 No. 7</p><p>Now that &mdash; for the second time in as many years &mdash; professional hockey games have been &ldquo;washed out&rdquo; by fog inside the rink, it&rsquo;s beginning to look as though the teams will have to equip their players with radar as regular paraphernalia before they take to the ice! Or at least, they 11 have to add a course in seamanship to the already welljammed curriculum of the puckchasers!</p><p>Last October, at the start of the 1947-48 campaign, two games in the American Hockey League had to be cancelled because of heat and fog inside the arenas, which made play impossible. At that time. President Maurice Podoloff of the A.H.L. said the situation was unique, in the leagues history, and ranked as &ldquo;one for the book.&rdquo;</p><p>Now, it&rsquo;s happened again &mdash; and this time both the A.H.L. and the National League have been affected. The first time it was at Hershey, on the night of November 6, when the scheduled game between the Bears and the visiting Reds had to be postponed after the heavy mist rolled in and made playing like groping through a bowl of pea soup.</p><p>Last Wednesday night, there was a repeat performance, this time in the N.H.L. Detroit rolled into Boston foi a crucial game, but only a few minutes were played before the officials had to call it off because of fog, and set it over until Thursday night.</p><p>Last season, the cancellations were considered somewhat of a freak, and were generally attributed to the early season opening &mdash; coming as they did in the middle of October. But this fall, the fogs came later, well toward the middle of November, a part of the year which recently has been considered good hockey weather.</p><p>Of course, the unseasonably warm weather which has been enjoyed in eastern North America these past few weeks, had an important bearing on the situation. But even at that, the new threat poses a problem for the magnates, especially in view of the fact that schedules are becoming so crammed &mdash; both for the hockey teams and for the rinks concerned.</p><p>In the Boston case, for instance, the fog interfered with not one league but two. The N.H.L. game was run off all right &mdash; on the second attempt &mdash; but a Quebec Senior League contest had to be put back for an indefinite period. The Ottawa Senators were on their way to the Hub for a game with Boston Olympics, but had to turn back when the National Leaguers took over their Thursday night playing date.</p><p>That sort of situation makes it something with which the club owners and league operators will be forced to deal &mdash; since it entails not only inconvenience to the fans, but also loss of valuable revenue. With the talk around the N.H.L. of a 70-game season next winter, such eventualities will have to be taken into account, since the usual unpredictability of the weather can never be accurately gauged.</p><h2><b>WHAT&rsquo;S THE SOLUTION?</b></h2><p>The concensus among the experts seems to be that it&rsquo;s the ventilating systems, and not the ice-making plants, which are to blame. The usual explanation given is that the fog phenomena occurs when the ventilating fans are unable to carry away the accumulation of steam and heat generated in the rink on a warm night by a sardine-packed crowd of fans.</p><p>Normally, the fans can do their job all right when the temperature outside is more seasonable in a hockey way. But get a stretch of warm weather, either in the fall or late spring, and you&rsquo;re headed for trouble.</p><p>Installation of larger and more powerful fans and air exhaust equipment is needed to help to carry away the steam before it gets a chance to condense on the cold ice and turn into that pea soup which cancelled the Hershey and Boston games.</p><p>It&rsquo;s a problem which hasn&rsquo;t been experienced before by rink-goers in the more northerly climes, but the last two years have given them an idea of the situation encountered by hockey teams in more southerly parts of the country like California, Texas and so on.</p><p>Down in the sunny south, it&rsquo;s no uncommon sight to see hockey games played with the temperature blistering the thermometers outside. But special precautions have been taken there to combat fog, since it&rsquo;s an almost accepted hazard to be met. Then again, the crowds which see games in many of the southern rinks aren&rsquo;t usually packed into every nook and cranny of the arena, as is the case normally in the N.H.L. and A.H.L. and don&rsquo;t generate so much heat as the rabid northern fans!<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Guess they are just shy about writing to us, Aaron.)</p><h2><b>IT&rsquo;S ALL FIXED</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I, like many more of your thousands of readers no doubt, have been a silent reader of THE HOCKEY NEWS, almost since its first edition. I have looked forward to it very eagerly each week as I am one of the most rabid hockey fans on this continent. I have found your paper very interesting and informative.</p><p>I have a beef, however, and you will agree that it is a very worthy one. It&rsquo;s that you have completely overlooked the Western Canada Senior Hockey League inso far as scores of games are concerned. This league was one of the first to begin play for the 19 484 a season. In fact, it began one day before the N.H.L. Other leagues which started after are given more space for scores but the W.C.S.H.L. (home of the Allan Cup winning Edmonton Flyers; has been almost completely ignored. I am sure there are many more fans, especially in the west who are up in arms &mdash; can you blame them?</p><p>George Bold Port Arthur, Ont.</p><p>(This situation has already been taken care of and you will find full summaries in this issue. Thanks for the keen interest.)</p><h2><b>SHORE IS TOPS</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Not long ago a group of us were talking about hockey. The picking of the annual All-Star team came up and we would like to know what player has been named the most. I claim that Eddie Shore was the man, am I right or wrong?</p><p>Andy Smith</p><p>Regina, Sask.</p><p>(You&rsquo;re sure right, Andy, Eddie Shore made the grade seven times.)</p><h2><b>COOK HOLDS RECORD</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>For some years now I have been a fan of New York Rangers. To my mind they have always served up a swell brand of hockey. I wonder If you could tell me what Ranger player scored the most goals for the Blueshirts since they were first organized? It seems to me that it was the present coach, Frank Boucher.</p><p>Douglas Swanson Philadelphia, Pa.</p><p>(No Doug, it was not Boucher. The honor of blinking the red light most times for Rangers goes to Bill Cook, now coaching Minneapolis Millers of the U.S.H.L. Bill netted 228 goals during his career with the New Yorkers. Boucher tops the assist column with 261.</p><h2><b>A MEEKER SUPPORTER</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Congrats for a swell newsy paper THE HOCKEY NEWS. I really enjoy reading it.</p><p>Could you tell me why Howie Meeker&rsquo;s name wasn&rsquo;t in the &ldquo;Happy Birthday To You&rdquo; list? His birthday was on November 4, 1924 and you only had Pete Lan-gelle&rsquo;s name for that date. How about it?</p><p>Katharine Molloy Toronto, Ont.</p><p>(Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Guess we&rsquo;ll have to bawl out our statistical department for missing Howie).</p><h2><b>CROSSWORD FAN</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I noticed in the November 3 edition that there was no crossword puzzle. I always try doing them even if I don&rsquo;t succeed, so would you mind continuing to print them? I&rsquo;m not sure, but I don&rsquo;t think that the picture of Doug Bentley on page 3 was correct.</p><p>Don Jacques Toronto, Ont.</p><p>(We checked the picture and it was Doug Bentley all right).</p><h2><b>FUTURE SPORTSWRITER</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I read your paper every week and am very proud to enter it in my collection. You see, I keep scrapbooks and information books and have a total of 450 which 1 hope will be of some use to me when and if I become a sportswriter. Anyway, that&rsquo;s my intention.</p><p>I was wondering if some hockey fan in each of the six N.H.L. cities would send me a program. 1 would eppreciate it very much. Could you please tell me how to get Stan Saplin&rsquo;s &ldquo;Inside the Blue Shirt?&rdquo;</p><p>Wayne Haddad Regina, Sask.</p><p>(Okay, you fans, lucky enough to be in N.H.L. cities. Here&rsquo;s a chance to help Wayne out. His address is 1861 Rit Street, Regina. To get the book you mention, we would suggest writing Stan Staplin, Madison Square Garden, New York.)</p><h2><b>SCHMIDT VS. APPS</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I am a subscriber to THE HOCKEY NEWS and I think it&rsquo;s a swell paper. I am originally from Fort Erie, Ont. and have been a hockey fan from away back, but never before have I read a paper or magazine on hockey as interesting as yours.</p><p>In regards to Dave Farrell&rsquo;s article on Milt Schmidt, he quotes Bill King about Schmidt being a better hockey player than former Maple Leaf Captain Syl Apps. May be that&rsquo;s his opinion but I know many fans will back me up when I say Schmidt may be comparable to Apps but no better. I think Syl has been greatly responsible for the Leafs winning the Stanley Cup the past two seasons, and he has always been a leader in the Toronto lineup. Will you please tell me what team Apps played with before he went to Hamilton Tigers?</p><p>David Shaver Hershey, Pa.</p><p>(Apps played for teams in and around his home town of Faris, Ont.)</p><h2><b>PUCK TO MORTAR BOARD</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>This letter is inquiring as to the whereabouts of Cy Thomas, who was a member of the Pittsburgh Hornets at the close of last season. He is not listed in any team yet, according to your paper. Could you tell me what team he is with at the present time, or if he has quit hockey?</p><p>How about more stories on individual players? You can cast my vote for the hockey crosswords. Best of luck from a subscriber.</p><p>Joan Winardy Chicago, Ill.</p><p>(Cy has left pro hockey ranks and is attending the University of Alberta.)</p><h2><b>WANTS &ldquo;FAR&rdquo; EAST NEWS</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I have been a subscriber to your paper since it&rsquo;s origin and I think it&rsquo;s tops. However, I have been disappointed to find nothing about the Maritime League. I am interested as several of our Lake head players have migrated there this year and I would like to see you print a little information about this league.</p><p>Ron Barnes Fort William, Ont.</p><p>(We&rsquo;re printing more Maritime information in each issue.)</p><h2><b>PROUD OF THE BEARS</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I am a regular reader of THE HOCKEY NEWS and would like to comment the staff for the very fine coverage of hockey &mdash; all the way from the N.H.L. down through the less-publicized leagues. It&rsquo;s great work. Keep your editions coming into Hershey. We have quite a hockey team here into Hershey and we are proud of our record in the past and also proud of the Bears in the current campaign</p><p>Hershey fans are expecting fine things from the 1948-49 A.H.L. race. I would like to see, in one of your forthcoming Issues, a listing of the N.H.L. &ldquo;Rookie of the Year&rdquo; awards. I think it would make an interesting item.</p><p>Austin G. Eiling, Jr. Hershey, Pa.</p><p>(Thanks for the plaudits. We&rsquo;ll keep your suggestion in mind.)</p><h2><b>WE WERE RIGHT</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I am a subscriber to your paper and would like to say how pleased I am about it. But on reading your issue of November 3, I find Harry Lumley with two shutouts to his credit. Going through all the scores, I find only one, bat against Canadlens on October 23. I also found that you printed seven goals against him, where I find ten. If this is not so, please except my apologies, but on the other hand, if it is so, having no grudge against Harry, it should be corrected,</p><p>John McAudey Kenogami, Que.</p><p>(Lumley shutout Toronto October 17 and blanked Canadlens October 23.)</p><h2><b>HAS SUGGESTION</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I think that your hockey weekly is swell. However, I have one request to make. Why not publish some Information and pictures of various players amid their home life, and what they do in their sparetime? Good luck to your paper and keep up the good work. Keep publishing the crosswords. Ilene like Amaranth, Man.</p><p>(Thanks for your suggestion. We hope to act on it shortly.)</p><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Could you please tell when Garth Boesch of Toronto Maple Leafs was born and what team did he play with before turning pro?</p><p>Johnny Farrell Toronto, Ont.</p><p>(Garth was born October 7, 1920 at Milestone, Saskatchewan and played his last amateur hockey with the R.C.A.F.)</p><h2><b>FANS TAKE NOTE</b></h2><p>Recently we printed a letter from Tommy Lee, asking sport fans to send him anything they had connected with sport &mdash; programs, pictures and what have you. Tommy is an invalid and this is his hobby. Unfortunately, we omitted to publish his address, which is 172 Crosthwaite Avenue, Hamilton, Ont.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Dune Grant Is High Scorer In W.C.S.H.L.

<div class="byline">By FRED HUBER</div><p>(This is the third of a series of articles covering the pros-pects of teams in the International Hockey League).</p><p>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Entering organized hockey for the first time are the Mil.&mdash; waukee Clarks, who broke into the winning column for that first time recently after three unsuccessful starts. The Clarks, who play at State Fair Park, West Allis, Wisconsin, have assembled a Club in which youth and age are well balanced and should develop into a winning combination.</p><p>In the Inets they have Stan Fogg, who was with the United States championship Toledo Mercurys last year. Fogg proved to be one of the country&rsquo;s outstanding goalies, being extremely agile, and leading the regular goalies in the International League season.</p><h2><b>Strachan Is Captain</b></h2><p>Captaining the team and spearheading the defense is 24-year-old Allen Strachan, a six footer from Irricana, Alberta. A sound rearguard Strachan is the type who plays the puck rather than the man and is a good counter rusher. His partner on defense, Clifford Kneeshaw, is a hard going body checker who has developed a fine reputation in Western Canada.</p><p>The spare defense is formed by a pair of youngsters, Jack Belisle and Ernie Dick. Belisle, a younger brother of Toledo&rsquo;s Andy Belisle, was with the famed Toronto St. Michaels&rsquo; Majors last season.</p><p>Up in front the club has a variety of forwards who are being sifted into the most effective forward combinations. Chief of these in experience are playing coach George Boothman and Alfred (Red) Carr.Boothman, who has served as a playing coach for three years in other leagues, had a brilliant career in the National League with Toronto Maple Leafs, until cut short by injury.</p><p>Center Bill Sloboda also cornea from the Pacific Coast League, where he played for the Championship Vancouver Canucks.</p><h2><b>U.S. Born Player</b></h2><p>Other forwards include Alex (Sandy) Air, a graduate of the Oshawa Generals, rating as a very, promising right wing. Lyle Howes, a playmaking center front Kirkland Lake, is another young ster who is hailed as a strong prospect. Ralph Warburton, the only member of the team born in the United States is a native of Cranston, Rhode Island.</p><p>The remaining forwards are Lou Frapporti, Jack Gray, and Harvey Ross. Ross, like Strachan and Kneeshaw, is from Calgary while Frapporti, who has already established himself as a hard going youngster who can bull his way right up to the goal mouth played junior hockey for the Porcupine Combines last year.

UNITED STATES LEAGUE

<p>FORT WORTH, Tex.&mdash;</p><p>Hard-bumping Vic Lofvendahl, one of the most rugged bruisers in the United States Hockey League, seems to be well on the way back to his old form of last season, when he was a man to be shunned by opposing forwards.</p><p>Lofvendhal was slowed up seriously during fall training by a chipped ankle bone, but that&rsquo;s healing up nicely now, and he&rsquo;s throwing his weight around in effective style again for the Fort Worth Rangers.</p><p>Vic went to Fort Worth last season from Eddie Shore&rsquo;s American League crew of Springfield and proved of great inspirational value to his new teammates after he curbed his fiery temper and settled down to serious business. He racked up 11 goals&mdash;some of them the clinching markers in closely-fought games, 2nd had half dozen assists for a 17 point total.</p><h2><b>He&rsquo;s Winnipeg Product</b></h2><p>Born in Winnipeg, Man., of Swedish descent, on July 5, 1921, Vic started his puckchasing career with Elmwood Junior Millionaires in 1937. After two seasons he moved on to Kenora Senior Thistles, and then went to Seattle Ironmen of the Pacific Coast Hockey League in the 1940-41 season.</p><p>He moved up to Philadelphia of the American League in 194142, before spending a three-year stretch in the Canadian Armed Forces. Back at the start of the 1945-4 6 campaign, he turned in a couple of good seasons with the Rockets in the Quaker City, before being traded to Springfield.</p><p>Lofvendahl packs a solid 200 pounds of gristle on his 5&rsquo; 10&rdquo; frame. He shoots righthanded, and bumps opponents either right, left or head on. At the start of this season he was named Captain of the Rangers, showing the respect he enjoys among lis own mates.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Who Holds That Records

<div class="byline">By WILLIAM McNULTY</div><p>SAINT JOHN, N. B.&mdash;</p><p>Weak in past seasons on the defense, the Saint John Beavers of the Maritime Hockey League are aiming at correcting this fault&mdash;with the accent on backline poundage. The St. Johners started on the long record schedule of 104 games this season with four heavy rearguards. They are: Frank Grabowski, originally from Stonewall, Manitoba; Bruce Cameron, Toronto; Ralph Croucher, Halifax and Bill Kearns, Winnipeg, Man.</p><p>All of them have weight galore. Grabowski tips the beam at 220 while Cameron goes 185. Croucher can toss 170 at opposing players and Kearns about 190.</p><h2><b>Plenty of Beef</b></h2><p>Added to this quartet has been Charlie Phillips of Montreal. He&rsquo;s a wandering walloper who carries around 235 pounds. Phillips had a trial with Montreal Canadiens in the early years of the second war, and was also in the American Hockey League as well as the Quebec Senior circuit.</p><p>He was with the Beavers in 1939 when they took the Maritime title. Before that he was on the payroil of Moncton Hawks, also known as the Atlantics. For the 1947-48 season he was a Glace Bay N.S. Miner, and, appropriately so far, not a coal digger, although he found hockey gold in many spots in Canada.</p><p>Charlie has trouble with his weight. Opposing hockey players will tell you that, when he&rsquo;s in the mood, or when there&rsquo;s a goalkeeper he likes in the net, he can dish out crushing body-checks. He is expected to help the Beavers in their hunt for the championship.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Western Canada Senior League

<p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>The six National Hockey League teams are strong advocates of the accent on youth policy which is becoming so prevalent in sporting circles these days. The average age of a player in the N.H.L. this season is 25.4 years and only 19 of the 101 players in the League have reached the 30 or more mark.</p><p>Toronto Maple Leafs, a team that consistently comes up with youthful squads, has the youngest average of any team in the circuit this season. The average age among the Leaf players is 24.2 years. Turk Broda is the only player on the Toronto roster in the 30 or over category, and oddly enough he is also the oldest player in the National Hockey League. Broda was born on May 15, 1914, three n?onns before Neil Colville of the Rangers, who is the second oldest player in the N.H.L.</p><h2><b>Oldest and Youngest</b></h2><p>Besides boasting the oldest player in the National League, the Leafs also boast the youngest player in the loop in right-winger Fleming Mackell. Fleming was born on April 30, 1929, six weeks after Canadiens&rsquo; Eddie Dorohoy, second youngest player in the League.</p><p>Second youngest N.H.L. club this year is Detroit, with an average age of 24.9 years. Only two of the 17 players o? the Red Wings roster, Jack Stewart and Sid Abel, have seen 30 birthdays. Stewart is the oldie of the team at 31, while Abel is an even 30. Gordon Howe is the youngster of the squad at 20.</p><p>The combined years of the 17 players on Montreal Canadiens total 432, which gives the Habitants an average of 25.4 years per player. Dorohoy at 19 is the baby, while veterans Murph Chamberlain and Bill Durnan, both 33, are the oldsters of the team, Canadiens have five players on their roster 30 or more years old. Besides Chamberlain and Durnan there are Joe Carveth, Billy Reay and Elmer Lach who are all 30.</p><h2><b>Boston Shows Contrast</b></h2><p>Boston Bruins are icing the fourth youngest crew in the N.H.L. this season with the average Boston player being 25.9 years. Five of the team are in the 30 or over bracket &mdash; namely Jack Crawford, 33; Frank Bri?nsek, 33; Woody Dumart, 31; Milt Schmidt, 30; and Pat Egan, 30. Youngest player on the club is Paul Ronty at 20. Eddie Sandford is also 20 but Ronty was born four months later than Sandford.</p><h2><b>Hawks Are Oldsters</b></h2><p>Chicago Black Hawks have a team average of 26.2 years which is a decimal point higher than New York Rangers at 26.1 and makes the Black Hawks and Rangers the loop&rsquo;s oldsters. Chicago has three players over 30, in the persons of Roy Conacher, 32; Doug Bentley, 32; and Red Hamill, 31. Metro Prystai was born on November 7, 1927, three months after Bill Gadsby, second youngest player on the team. Nick Miskoki, Rangers&rsquo; rookie forward is the neophyte among the Broadway Blueshirts at 20.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

During the hockey season the club gives two banquets to which each player is welcome along with his wife or girl friend. Also, towards the end of the season, an annual dance is given to which the players are again invited. After summer has ended and thoughts of the coming hockey season have arrived, the club holds a picnic to give the members a chance to get into the spirit of the coming season and to renew acquaintanceships with members Who had been away for the summer.</p><h2><b>PRESENT TROPHY</b></h2><p>At the last game of each hockey Season the members of the Sideliners present a trophy to the player voted most popular by the club members. Doug Bentley won the trophy last year. A bill has been pa??ed that in addition to the trophy the player will also receive a check from donations from the members.</p><p>The Sideliners had a hockey team for the younger members of the club last year and are planning to have another one this coming season.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>
