NATIONAL LEAGUE

<p>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Jim Enio, veteran left wing with the Indianapolis Capitals, has been recalled by the parent Detroit Red Wings pending the recovery from injuries by Ted Lindsay as well as Jimmy McFadden.</p><p>Enio is one or the best defensive wingers in the American League. Until this season, he played under his regular monicker of Enio Sclisizzi, a toughie for the scorers!</p><p>He played four games with the Red Wings early last season and then was sent to Indianapolis for the remainder of the campaign, rejoining Detroit in time to play In six play-off games.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Jim Enio Recalled By Red Wings

<div class="byline">By HEC MacLEAN</div><p>CALGARY, Alta.&mdash;</p><p>The Western Canada Senior Hockey League started off this season in much the same fashion as last term. The defending Allan Cup champion Edmonton Flyers appear just as powerful as last year while Regina Capitals, under the able direction of Art Somers, will take plenty of beating this year. Capitals definitely are title hungry.</p><p>Possibly the biggest disappointment in the circuit is Saskatoon Quakers. Right at the start of the season Coach Bobby Kirk Was fired and manager Burt Scharfe handed in his resignation. Kirk was replaced by Bill Hunter, former pilot of Regina Caps. If Hunter can come up with half the promises he has made, Quakers will do all right but if he doesn&rsquo;t the club will be a poor drawing card.</p><h2><b>Stamps Lagging</b></h2><p>Things are not going any too well in the Calgary Stampeder camp. With several new players to work with Coach Jack Arbour appears to be having a tough time.</p><p>Stampeders already have released two players. Mike Yaschuk was dropped after a couple of games and went to Saskatoon, while Larry Reardon received the same treatment a week later and also went to Quakers. This writer believes Reardon wasn&rsquo;t afforded much of a chance. He played in an exhibition contest against Kimberley and was used sparingly in one league fixture against Edmonton. However, I guess Arbour knows his hockey players best.</p><p>Lethbridge Leafs had a fair start. The Calgary - Lethbridge rivalry continues and the clubs battled to a 5-5 deadlock the last time they met.</p><h2><b>Pay Fancy Prices</b></h2><p>The wise men in hockey claim the loop is paying too many high salaries and that eventually the teams will buy themselves broke. Some of the fancy figures a few of the western puckmen are getting would make a bank manager&rsquo;s head swim.</p><p>We don&rsquo;t know much about the financial end of it, but if Saskatoon continues to lose games at its present clip, there won&rsquo;t be many sellouts when Quakers go on the road, and possibly at home also.</p><p>It&rsquo;s a long way to the end of the schedule but right now it looks like Edmonton and Regina will continue as the front running squads with Lethbridge and Calgary battling it out for third.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Western Senior Quakers, Stamps Having Troubles

<div class="image-hero"><img title="f0001-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-017/963503-1-eng-US/f0001-012.jpg"></div><p class="dropcap"><span>A</span>s strange as it might seem to most hockey followers, Montreal Canadiens are starting to love the Detroit Red Wings. The Habitants feel they have the Indian sign on the Motor City squad. When Canadiens blanked the Wings 3-0 Detroit Sunday night, it marked the third time in four games that the Canucks have shoutout the Red Shirted crew.</p><p>For some reason the Canadiens seem to put on their best offensive and defensive display when taking on Detroit. Bill Durnan just about boards up the goal with his sound puck stopping. Sunday&rsquo;s victory came the hard way for Durnan who lost two teeth when a stray puck struck him in the mouth.</p><p>After a few repairs, Bill came back to continue where he left off. He stopped 27 shots, 17 of them coming after his accident. Durnan is now the leading N.H.L. goalkeepers.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Canadiens Gaze Fondly At Red Wings

<div class="byline">By KEN MCKENZIE</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Inability of National League teams to win on the road this season is stamping the six sextets as a bunch of &lsquo;homers&rsquo;. Out of the first 34 games played this season in the premier professional puck loop, the home town club has emerged triumphant 22 times. On six occasions the game finished in a deadlock with neither club garnering a win and on six other evenings the visiting squad managed to cop the decision.</p><p>Twenty-two wins out of 34 games gives the home teams a winning percentage of 64.7.</p><p>Boston&rsquo;s rampaging Bruins are setting a torrid pace on Boston Garden ice. Bruins have gone through the first five games of the season on home ice without a defeat. This is a tremendous improvement over last season when the Rossmen were only able to win 40 per cent of their home contests, for the third poorest home average.</p><h2><b>UNBEATEN AT HOME</b></h2><p>Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Canadiens also boast unbeaten records on their home freeze this season. Detroit has engaged in six tussles at the Olympia Stadium, winning five and tying one for a very creditable winning mark of 83.3 per cent. In seven contests at the Forum, Montreal has won four and tied three for a 57.1 winning percentage at home.</p><p>During the 1947-48 campaign both the Red Wings and Canadiens were possessors of very ordinary records on home ice. Out of 30 tilts each before the fans that pay their salaries, Detroit won 16 contests for a 53.3 per cent mark, while Canadiens were only able to register 13 wins for an anaemia home stand winning percentage of 43.3.</p><h2><b>LEAFS FALTER</b></h2><p>Regarded as the best home club in the National Hockey League, Toronto Maple Leafs are not faring as well at Maple Leaf Gardens so far this season. In their first six games the Leafs have won three, lost two and tied one for a 50 per cent victory figure. Last season the Maples finished their 30-game home stint with an outstanding winning percentage of 73.3 Leafs captured 22 of their 30 home games last year.</p><p>In five encounters on Chicago Stadium ice, the Black Hawks won twice and lost twice. This gives the 1 Conacher clan a 60 percent win mark in the Windy City. Last year the Hawks finished a dismal season with a 33.3 percentage of victories on their own reservation.</p><p>New York Rangers, who have gained a reputation for winning as many games on the road as they do at Madison Square Garden, currently possess a 40 percent win mark on home ice. This is a trifle higher than their 36.7 percentage of last year.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

An outstanding right wing for the Detroit Red Wings for 11 years, he was a member of one of hockey&rsquo;s top forward lines&mdash;the Sid Howe, Carl Liscombe, Mud Bruneteau trio.</p><p>Always a close student of the game and a determined fighter, he was named by Manager Jack Adams to develop the young talent which Detroit sent to the Nebraska city. Adams could not have made a wiser choice. Bruneteau has not only done a great job in polishing the embryo National Hockey League greats, but has made a host of friends for himself and the organization in Omaha. He and his family are so fond of Omaha that they moved there last spring, selling their home in Detroit and purchasing a house down Nebraska way.</p><h2><b>Third Season For Him</b></h2><p>Bruneteau now is starting his third season for the Knights. In his first season &mdash; 1946-47 &mdash; he took the Knights to the finals only to be eliminated by the Kansas City Pla-Mors. Last season he again had a young club and piloted them to the playoffs.</p><p>The current campaign finds Mud with perhaps the largest crop of rookies of any club in professional hockey. Among them are the goaltender, Jim Shirley of Saskatoon; and on the defense he has Max Quackenbush (brother of Bill), And Bill Folk. An entire forward line at the start of the season was composed of Jim Unlac, Gordon Heale and Gordon Haidy. And the seventh rookie of the team, Keith Burgess, may turn out to be the &ldquo;rookie of the year.&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0232/961729-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="499" height="826"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>MUD BRUNETEAU</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>Player Polisher</b></h2><p>During the past two years Mud has polished the play of such men as Don Morrison and Max McNab, now with the Detroit Red Wings; and Terry Sawchuk, Al Dewsbury, Rod Morrison, Fred Glover, Frank Melong and Lee Fogolin, all more than holding their own with the Indianapolis Caps in the American League.</p><p>In addition to Sawchuk, another goaltender, Harvey Jessiman, who played for the Knights in 1945-46 and 1946-47 was developed and sold outright to the Philadelphia Rockets, owes his success to Mud&rsquo;s careful coaching.</p><p>Bruneteau, and for that matter Jack Adams of Detroit and Coach Ott Heller of Indianapolis, are enthusiastic about goalie Sawchuk. Last season when the raves about Sawchuk&rsquo;s netminding were coming out of the United States Hockey League many people were inclined to brush it aside. &ldquo;Oh, just another flash in the pan,&rdquo; they said.</p><p>But Sawchuk is already leading the American Hockey League and as he will not be 19 years old until December 28, there isn&rsquo;t any doubt about Detroit&rsquo;s being well fortified in the nets for many years to come.</p><h2><b>Greatest Puck Town</b></h2><p>Omaha is, when population is taken into consideration, the greatest hockey town in America. The fans there are about as loyal as any group anywhere in the world. To them the players are &ldquo;their boys&rdquo; and they not only come out to the games to cheer them on but take a great personal Interest in every player and follow his activities when he moves on to another League.</p><p>Back of Bruneteau in the Omaha picture is General Manager Harry Fowler, just about as capable a hockey executive as you will find anywhere. Harry is an indefatigable worker who handles all of the business matters for the club not to mention the job of promotion.</p><p>The combination of Fowler and Bruneteau is one of the best in hockey and is one of the reasons why the Detroit Red Wings have such a strong farm system.</p><h3><b>THE HOCKEY NEWS</b></h3><p><b>Published weekly, except monthly May through September, by HOCKEY NEWS COMPANY, 603A Sun Life Bldg., Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

They are Max Bennett, Dick Davis, Jim &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Dunn and E. W. &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Reynolds. All four of the new officials are regarded as very competent referees, and come to the A.H.L. highly recommended by the hockey leagues where they formerly were employed.</p><p>James &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Dunn comes to the American League from the United States Hockey League, where he was considered one of the top officials of that circuit last season. Dunn was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on Sept. 2, 1911. He stands 6 feet and weighs 195 pounds. In his hockey playing days he was a defenseman with the famed Hamilton Tigers and Ottawa Senators, two of the most noted senior teams in Canada.</p><p>During his days with Hamilton, he and his teammates made a tour of England playing exhibition games. Among the other members of that club were Max Bennett, also making his debut as an AHL referee this season, and Carl Liscombe, star winger of the Providence Reds, holder of the professional hockey scoring record, which he set last season.</p><p>In addition to his hockey background, Dunn is noted for being one of the greatest centers in Canadian football history, playing with Hamilton Tigers and Ottawa Rough Riders. He was a member of six championship football teams. Dunn is married and the father of a boy and a girl. He has been refereeing hockey games since 1939, and officiated in many strong amateur leagues before joining the U.S.H.L.</p><p>Emerson &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Reynolds, the other half of the red-head combination of Dunn and Reynolds, acquired from the United States League, was born in Barrie, Ontario, on October 2, 1915. He was a standout hockey player in Ontario Senior circles for many years, playing with Port Colborne and St. Catharines. He refereed many amateur games in Canada, both junior and senior, and handled quite a few championship series before making his &ldquo;pro&rdquo; debut last season.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-057/961843-1-eng-US/f0003-052.jpg" title="f0003-05" width="628" height="847"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>FIG. 1.

They are alike in many ways besides color of hair and family status, and get along like two peas in a pod both off the ice and on.</p><p>They usually work together as a team and are expected to continue that way this season, as they have perfect cooperation on the ice and one always knows where the other is during a hectic game and has grown to rely on his partner to take care of his part of the game. Both men are highly recommended by President James Hendy of the U.S.H.L. for whom they worked last season, and are sure to please A.H.L. fans and hockey officials this year.</p><h2><b>Newcomer Maxie Bennett Known Well As Former A.H.L. Player</b></h2><p>Richard &ldquo;Dick&rdquo; Davis of Winnipeg, Manitoba, who stands 5 feet 8 in., weighing 160 lbs., is also a former whistle tooter of the Hendy circuit. Before that professional experience, he officiated in amateur games for a good many years, and took part in four Allan Cup Finals, which decides the amateur championship of Canada.</p><p>Davis is proud of the fact that only one other referee ever supervised more Allan Cup Finals than he. That was Clarence Campbell, now President of the National Hockey League, with whom Davis had been paired during the time of Campbell&rsquo;s refereeing days. Davis was a right wing and defenseman during his playing days in amateur ranks. He is married and the father of a boy and girl.</p><p>He was the third player in the league to reach the 100 goal mark in total tallies for his career, turning the trick on March 11, 1942 while playing with Buffalo.</p><p>Bennett also had experience as a coach, guiding the destinies of the Washington team in the Eastern Hockey League for a time. He has done much refereeing in recent years, handling many industrial league and college games in and around Buffalo, New York, where he now makes his home with, his wife and daughter.</p><p>These four new members of the staff will prove a valuable addition to the efficient A.H.L. refereeing corps, which already consisted of Patsy Callighen, Ted Graham, Bernie LeMaitre, Hugh McLean, Charles &ldquo;Rabbit&rdquo; McVeigh, Walt Russell, Des Smith and Joe Patrick.</p><p>The only new member of the staff familiar to American League fans through his playing days, is Maxie Bennett. From 1936 through 1945, Bennett was a member of six different N.H.L. clubs, playing with Springfield. Cleveland, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Washington. Always a prolific scorer, the diminutive Bennett had four seasons in the A.H.L. during which he tallied more than 20 goals, and was always up among the leading scorers of the league.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-09/961822-1-eng-US/f0003-092.jpg" title="f0003-09" width="286" height="853"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>FIG. 3. &ldquo;ICING THE PUCK&rdquo; &mdash; This signal means that the puck has been &ldquo;iced&rdquo; &mdash; that is, with teams at equal strength a defending player has shot the puck from his own half of the rink in such a way that neither opponents nor teammates can play it before it crosses the goal line of the opposing team.

There isn&rsquo;t much escapes his eagle eye, which perhaps helps to explain how he has made the Stanley Cup playoffs 18 times in his 19 years as coach.</b></p></figcaption></div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Canny Dick Irvjn, Coach of Montreal Canadiens, has often baffled opposing master-minds as he reaches into the bag year after year to pull out winning combinations. Just how he does it is a secret which many of his adversaries would like to know, since in his 19 years of coaching in the National Hockey League (this is his 20th he&rsquo;s embarked on now) he has wangled his team into the playoffs 18 times. The only time he missed was last year, when the Habs staged an unpredicted nose dive down to fifth place.</p><p>Just what his secret is. Dick isn&rsquo;t saving. But, aside from the fact that he knows how to handle players, bring the youngsters along, and coax the last ounce of drive out of aging legs, one of his secrets is the complete and comprehensive statistical dope sheet he keeps on all players.</p><p>There&rsquo;s scarcely a move any of the Canucks make while on the ice that Dick doesn&rsquo;t keep track of in his little notebook or in his voluminous statistical file.</p><h2><b>Everything Marked Down</b></h2><p>While Irvin doesn&rsquo;t have too much time to keep track of all the comings and goings of the Canadiens while they are in action, he has the mechanical end of the business attended to by young Frank Selke Jr., son of the Montreal General Manager.</p><p>Perched up in the press box in the lofty catwalk under the Forum rafters, young Selke keeps the score on goals, assists, shots on goals, shots missed and all the other varied data that the cagey coach demands.</p><p>Then, after the game is over, the Regina pigeon fancier sits down to figure out just how his combinations clicked. If the Habs won the game, he&rsquo;s pleased, naturally, but still doesn&rsquo;t let drop any opportunity to assess the situation and dope out new ways to harry the opposition. And, if the Canadiens lose, there&rsquo;s bound to be some tall head-scratching by the victory-minded coach as he figures out just how his team fell down and how he can remedy that the next time out.</p><h2><b>Started At Chicago</b></h2><p>Dick started keeping these complete records of every game when he started out as coach of Chicago Black Hawks 20 years ago &mdash; and he has the complete records of every game he has witnessed tucked away handily for future reference.</p><p>As far as players who now are active in the N.H.L., Irvin can give you the dope on practically any of them for any game you might choose to mention, provided Conadiens were involved.</p><p>If it&rsquo;s forward lines you&rsquo;re interested in, he can tell you how many goals they scored in any particular game, what other players were on the ice at the time, whether either team was shorthanded, and so on.</p><p>Irvin&rsquo;s statistical summary of a game would make the official scorers green with envy. He not only has the pertinent information on each player and each forward combination, but can scan through his list to find out what Canadiens were on the ice when the Montrealers scored their goals and who were the culprits when the opposition broke through for tallies.</p><h2><b>Counts Every Time</b></h2><p>Maybe that doesn&rsquo;t sound too important by itself, but to an N.H.L. coach it&rsquo;s almost as important as the salary cheque he receives &mdash; and may, in the long run, determine whether he will continue to receive that same bread-and-butter slip of paper.</p><p>If Irvin finds out too many goals are being scored against a certain defense combination or while any particular forward line is on the ice, he wants to know why. And there is usually action taken in a hurry to remedy the situation.</p><p>If some men aren&rsquo;t doing their part to keep the opponents out of the pay-off zone while they are on the ice, Irvin will shake up the lines to add a bit of defensive strength. It usually pays off.</p><p>Besides the important data on goals, assists, shots made on goals and those missed (which indicates to the silver-thatched one that some certain player needs a lot more target practice) Irvin also keeps track of the way his forwards are behaving at snaring the puck from faceoffs.</p><h2><b>Even Faceoff Data</b></h2><p>This department of the Irvin statistics is further broken down to show how the pivotmen act under stress. Records are kept of the number of times the centers take control of the puck while Canadiens are attacking, while they are in the attacking end of the neutral zone (that is, between the red center line and the opponents&rsquo; blueline) while they are in the defending end of the neutral zone and while they are back in their own defensive zone.</p><p>Broken down into cold statistics, and combined with the other player records, that gives the coach quite an accurate guide to the effectiveness of his playmakers, and helps determine who should be sent out at a crucial juncture in the game.</p><h2><b>Elmer Champion Thief</b></h2><p>For instance, in one Montreal-Chicago game for which Irvin made the dope sheet available, Elmer Lach was shown the most effective man around a faceoff spot. In 30 attempts the Nokomis whiz grabbed the puck 24 times and shot it back to his teammates. Little Billy Reay was not quite so adept, but still managed to make the Hawks look quite forlorn by gaining control of the puck 18 times in 24 faceoffs. Kenny Mosdell got it out 12 times out of 17, while Eddie Dorohoy, the brash young rookie, took the puck seven times in 11 tries.</p><p>There isn&rsquo;t much escapes the eagle eye of the Montreal coach, who knows almost to the fraction of an inch how far any of his players skate in a game, how they pass the puck, and what they do in any conceivable situation. That in part is the secret of his success, and rival coaches can take that information for free if they want it.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Dick Irvin’s Dope Sheet Has Every Player Tagged

<div class="byline">By KEN MCKENZIE</div><p class="dropcap"><span>I</span>N THE FIRST 31 games played in the National, Hockey League this season the home team came out on the right end of the score in 20 of them. Six were won by the visiting club while five were draws. For a corresponding period a year ago the home team was victorious 18 times, with the out of town sextet winning 11 times and two games ending in ties &hellip; There were 176 goals scored last year in the first 31 games compared to 165 tallies this season &hellip; Goaltenders are doing well for themselves thus far. Six shutouts have been recorded by the loop&rsquo;s twinetenders in the first 31 games this year, while the best they could do in the same period last season was four.</p><p>BILL ROCHE OF the Toronto Globe and Mail reports good progress in his search to obtain a collection of veteran hockey men&rsquo;s favorite yarns based on humorous or unusual incidents. He sent out about 500 letters coast-to-coast during the early summer months, and despite the fact that many hockey men were on extended off-season vacations, Roche got a fine start on his project. He intends to continue the hunt throughout the winter, and is still seeking addresses of story-telling old-timers, such as Rusty Crawford and many others of that era. Any of you readers that might have a few good, yarns about some of the veterans of the game should write to W. V, Roche, Editorial Department, Globe and Mail, Toronto, Ont.</p><p>QUITE A FEW hockey fans have been sending us poems on hockey lately, and we must confess some of them are extremely good.

Passing the Puck

<p>BOSTON, Mass. &mdash;</p><p>Hockey fans will sympathize with Johnny Quilty, Boston Bruin forward, who has decided to retire from hockey. Quilty broke his leg during a game in Chicago last January and has become discouraged at his inability to regain his form which would allow him to get back into the Boston lineup. Johnny has intimated that he will return to his home in Ottawa to work.</p><p>Another factor in Quilty&rsquo;s decision is, it is believed, that he became down hearted with his status financially. He was receiving no salary from the Bruins, only expense money while waiting for a chance to get back in the game.</p><p>Quilty received his broken leg only 15 seconds after Boston&rsquo;s game with Chicago had been underway. It was a compound fracture of the left leg. He collided with defenseman Bob Goldham.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Decides To Quit Puck-Chasing Game

<div class="byline">By JEFF BLADES</div><p>BRANDON, Man.&mdash;</p><p>It&rsquo;s an old gag for parents to tell Junior that he&rsquo;ll be a combination of Maurice Richard, Superman and Steve Canyon if he chomps down his Wheaties each morning. Around Brandon, though, it&rsquo;s a case of the gag working in reverse &mdash; if Junior is a good boy he might be able some day to play with the Wheaties. This simply is another way of saying that it might be Junior&rsquo;s joyful lot to make the grade with the Brandon Wheat Kings. Five of this season&rsquo;s big, fast and rugged junior club &mdash; already being touted as one of the top threats to succeed to the Canadian championship laurels won last year by Port Arthur West End Bruins &mdash; call Brandon their home town.</p><p>Of the others on the 16-man club, the majority hail from Winnipeg while four are in the &ldquo;import&rdquo; class. The Wheaties like to regard Winnipeg talent as more-or-less from their own back yard and shut their eyes to the fact there are so many Winnipeggers on the club when compiling a list of &ldquo;imports.&rdquo;</p><p>One of the many indications of Brandon&rsquo;s progressiveness in hockey involves the renovation of the Wheat City arena. City owned and operated &mdash; the club rents the ice palace &mdash; the arena was able to pack 3,000 fans (including standees) prior to remodelling a short time ago.</p><h2><b>New Ice Plant</b></h2><p>Now it is possible to seat around 5,000 spectators in the Brandon rink, in which artificial ice was Installed December 6, 1947. The planners wisely sacrificed a chance to jam in &ldquo;standees&rdquo; by using such room to provide additional fire exits.</p><p>&ldquo;The cost of renovation and installation of the ice-making plant was around $100,000,&rdquo; says Coach Bill MacKenzie, now in his second season as charge d&rsquo;affaires for the Wheaties. &ldquo;To show you how keen the city was in making the changes, it&rsquo;s interesting to know that they paid an extra $10,000 to get certain of the pipe equipment from the United States rather than pay a lower price and have to wait an indefinite time to get it in Canada.&rdquo;</p><p>On the strength of their first five games in the four-team Manitoba Junior League this season, many of the experts are about ready to concede the circuit title to the Wheaties.</p><h2><b>Strong Executive</b></h2><p>The Brandon club is operated by a group of 10 home-town sportsmen. All out-of-town boys are supported by the club so far as room and board and other expenses are concerned. The club also is sending four players to business college, having paid tuition fees up to June for the players concerned. Players with jobs still have room and board footed by the club.</p><p>MacKenzie, a one-time defence stalwart with major and minor pro teams, has clicked in a big way in Brandon which used to be regarded as a virtual grave-yard for coaches.</p><p>&ldquo;Coaching is a precarious way to earn a living but when you&rsquo;re winning, like we are now, everything&rsquo;s all right and you get credit for almost everything,&rdquo; says MacKenzie, who was rated as the outstanding mentor in the circuit last season even though his club did not win the title.</p><p>When asked if he aspired to a pro coaching job, MacKenzie replied: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a lot easier on the nerves to work With kids.&rdquo; Bill, who came out of Winnipeg in a hockey way, had coached a juvenile club in the Manitoba capital prior to moving into the slot with the Wheat Kings.</p><h2><b>Illustrious Alumni</b></h2><p>At one time, Brandon clubs used to be known as the Elks, but they took on the Wheat King title last season and officials say that&rsquo;s the way they&rsquo;ll be known henceforth. One of Brandon&rsquo;s most illustrious alumni is Walter (Turk) Broda, the great netminder of Toronto Maple Leafs. The Turk guarded the Brandon nets in the 1933-34 season when the club lost out in the western final to Regina Pats. On only one other occasion has a Brandon team gone that far. The Brandonites lost out to Moose Jaw Canucks in the 1946-47 season.</p><p>Broda is not the only famous name in hockey with Brandon roots. Club officials point out proudly that 34 players in top pro or amateur company once played junior hockey in Brandon colors. Among them have been Glen Harmon of Canadiens, &ldquo;Sugar Jim&rdquo; Henry of Black Hawks, Don Raleigh of Rangers and others in the American League like Chuck Scherza, Bus Wycherley and Arnie Kullman.</p><p>Brandon&rsquo;s four imports are Angus Juckes, Glen Sonmor, Frank King and Ray Frederick. Sonrnor, who comes from the Hamilton and Toronto district, is the property of Cleveland Barons. Minneapolis and Cleveland held their training camps at the Brandon rink this season and MacKenzie liked the way the youngster handled himself. Thus it was that he was able to put in a bid for Sonmor&rsquo;s services.</p><h2><b>Good Team Spirit</b></h2><p>The Wheat Kings have a great team spirit and players on the club go out of their way to cheer up a player who might be in a slump of some sort. As junior clubs go, the Wheat Kings stand out in the matter of size. Five of their players&mdash;including Goalie Ray Fredericks &mdash; stand over the six foot mark. Average weight runs well over 170 pounds while average height is 5&rsquo;11&rdquo;.</p><p>MacKenzie doesn&rsquo;t hold too tight a grasp on the reins. It&rsquo;s his belief that what the players do away from the rink is pretty much up to themselves. So long as they produce the goods, then Bill is satisfied.</p><h2><b>No Predictions</b></h2><p>Although Brandon fans are high on the chances of their team this season, and a good many Winnipeg followers think likewise, MacKenzie desists from making any predictions about such things as championships. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s plenty of time to start talking about titles when we&rsquo;ve won our own league,&rdquo; he maintains.</p><p>Apart from those already mentioned, others on the club are Joe Crozier, Alf Francis, Jack McKenzie, Mac Beaton, Walt Pawly-shyn, Reg Abbott, Bob Chrystal, Bill Shadlock, Brian Roche, and Johnny McLean.</p><h2><b>Lauds Late Morenz</b></h2><p>MacKenzie, incidentally, has a few interesting reminiscences about his own playing days.</p><p>Of the immortal Howie Morenz, with whom he played on Canadiens, MacKenzie says: &ldquo;He was a nightmare to goaltenders.&rdquo; And he lauds the great Howie as being one of the most level-headed players he has ever seen and not at all cocky about his great ability. No matter what peaks he reached there was never anything swellheaded about Morenz.</p><p>MacKenzie, a defenseman, says that he always found Syl Apps the hardest forward to stop.</p><p>&ldquo;The only time I ever felt the least bit sorry about bodychecking anyone was a time I flattened Apps. He was such a great sportsman and gentleman on the ice that you really felt you had committed an offence to smack him.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Brandon Ranks As Hockey-Mad City

<p>KENORA, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>The once-famous name of Kenora Thistles is back in the hockey firmament.</p><p>It was back in 1939-40 that the last Kenora club carrying that name was being talked about. The Thistles of that season &mdash; a junior aggregation &mdash; battled to the Memorial Cup final only to lose to Oshawa Generals three games to one.</p><p>This season&rsquo;s Thistles are of the senior variety and they are involved in the new Manitoba-Lakehead circuit. Coach of the club is Bill Allin, while president is Jimmy Williamson and trainer is Jimmy Miller, a well-known local amateur boxer.</p><p>When the Thistles held their first practice recently in Winnipeg, Allin announced that 34 players would be seeking positions with the club. The Thistles had been undergoing road work for three weeks prior to the drill.</p><p>Those seeking berths include: John Shegalski and George Cressie, goal; Vince Gallagher, Marty Allen, Lou McKay, Jim Devine and Wilf Ledyier, defence; Pinky Clifton, Murray Robertson, Bert Johnson, Keith Myles, Buzz Hum-maniuk, Gord Peterson. Merv Spenlow, Jim Jurgenson, Ted Jurgenson, Earl Knight, Ray Simoneau. Don Bain, Shorty Elliott, forwards.</p><p>Efforts are also being made to obtain the release of Bud and Pake Bailey, Kenora boys who are the property of Detroit Red Wings and who played with Windsor Spitfires last season.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

The cost of operating a rink of any size is almost staggering. Most people think that all you need to do is sign up a team, pay their wages, and then sit back and collect at the turnstiles. Now-a-days there&rsquo;s much more to it than that. In order to make a rink or auditorium pay, owners are entering wider fields. On nights when there is no hockey, and during the summer months, wrestling, boxing, name bands, outstanding entertainers and a host of other attractions make their appearances.</p><p>The ice game, in itself, gives employment to thousands. Besides the players there are coaches, managers, trainers, office workers, scouts, publicity men, accountants, box office personnel, ticket sellers, ticket takers, maintenance men, ushers, concession departments and others too numerous to mention here. All of these people draw wages from the stadium, which, along with taxes, eat deeply into the profits.</p><p>Right now there are four main professional leagues&mdash;the National Hockey League, the American Hockey League, the United States Hockey League and the Pacific Coast Hockey League. Combined they have 35 teams. Rinks belonging to National Hockey League teams alone are worth more than 25 million dollars.</p><p>Of the 35 teams operating in the four pro leagues mentioned above, 31 are housed in American cities. It is estimated that these clubs are responsible for bringing about one million American dollars into Canada annually. With nearly all teams composed of Canadian boys, these lads naturally act as good-will ambassadors for Canada and help to create better understanding between the two countries. Hockey has often been called &ldquo;the poor boy&rsquo;s university.&rdquo; It trains them in more ways than one. The training they get helps to keep them in tip-top shape and they see more of the world. The competition is severe, requiring a great deal of courage, both morally and physically, to survive. We feel that the training a boy receives in hockey helps him to become a better citizen. Several of them have saved enough money out of their hockey careers to go into business for themselves while others, like Dit Clapper, Hap Day, Dick Irvin, Frank Boucher, Charlie Conacher, King Clancy, Lester Patrick and Eddie Shore, have become executives or coaches in the sport they love so well.</p><p>Great strides have been made by professional hockey. The National League, moving with the times, has a pension plan in effect which will prove a great help to players when they decide to retire from the game. Pro hockey is now considered a good business career for a young man.</p><p>If he watches his money, he can put aside enough to take care of himself and his family for years to come. There was a time when the pro game was considered &ldquo;not proper for a young man. Now it&rsquo;s the ambition of every young fellow to make the N.H.L. He realizes it means hard work to get up there, but feels it&rsquo;s well worth It.</p><p>Competition for young stars has now reached the point where all professional clubs have scouts combing the country in the hope of locating another Morenz or Shore. These Ivory hunters travel thousands of miles during a season and usually have local members of their organization ready to tip them off at a moment&rsquo;s notice when a bright prospect comes over the horizon. It is necessary for Canada to supply enough hockey talent for most of the world. England, Scotland and France are trying hard to reach that pre-war peak which saw them draw some of the finest players in the market.</p><p>There are about 60,000 players registered annually with the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association through the various provincial branches. This does not take into account those hundreds of school, community and industrial leagues which play regularly. Professional hockey puts money back Into the development of amateurs. They realize that continued success of their phase of the game depends on the influx of amateur talent. Most top pro clubs sponsor junior or senior organizations across Canada. N.H.L. clubs sponsor around 12 junior teams while clubs in the United States Hockey League have about 28 affiliated outfits.</p><p>Hockey broadcasts are listened to by millions. All N.H.L. clubs allow their games to be aired and this is another method of popularizing the ice sport. We have met people who have gone to a game simply because they had listened to a broadcast. Could it be as good as it sounds? they asked themselves. From what we can find out, it was and another fan was made. Yes, hockey is Big Business no matter which way you look at it.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

I go over every word of it and hope you will continue to publish the crosswords. It really helps to keep me up on my hockey lingo.</p><p>I would appreciate it if you could tell me when Ray Ceresino, Rudy Migay and Harry Psutka were born (in what month and date). They are now with the Pittsburgh Hornets and doing a fine job there. Congrats for publishing such a fine hockey paper.</p><p>Sue Thompson</p><p>Pittsburgh, Pa.</p><p>(Ray Ceresino was born in Port Arthur, Ont., April 24, 1929. Rudy Migay is a former Fort William boy who first saw the light of day November 18, 1928, while Harry Psutka is from Kitchener, Ont., and his birthday is November 19, 1928.)</p><h2><b>WANTS PICTURES</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I think you are doing a swell job with THE HOCKEY NEWS. Keep it up, and I might say I enjoy the crosswords.</p><p>Where can I obtain a picture of the Stanley Cup Kings, the same as appeared on Page 3 of the October 27 issue of THE HOCKEY NEWS?</p><p>Lloyd Webber</p><p>Coldstream, N.B.</p><p>(We suggest that you write to the Turofsky Studios, 92 King Street W., Toronto, Ont.)</p><h2><b>MORE OHA INFO</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Allow me to congratulate you on your paper. I enjoy it very much and can hardly wait till Friday when it is delivered here. I like the crosswords a great deal and the articles on big league players. One thing I find missing though, are write-ups on the O. H.A. Junior League and the Intermediate League as well as the International League.</p><p>I would like to see these because there are several boys from Copper Cliff playing in the various leagues I have mentioned. I find your paper interesting and enjoy looking over the rosters and the Fan Forum.</p><p>In looking over your picture &ldquo;Broadway Rookies&rdquo; I noticed that Clint Albright wears glasses. Does he wear them during a game or has he contact lenses? Could you tell me if there are any others Including goalies in the big time who wear glasses?</p><p>R. La Pierre</p><p>Copper Cliff, Ont.</p><p>(Albright is the only player in the N.H.L. who plays with glasses on. He is going to change to contact lenses soon and see how they work out.)</p><h2><b>RULES&rsquo; INTERPRETATION</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I wish you would give me an answer on the following incident as regards rules and penalties. A player from the visiting team, while sitting on the bench and not in action, got angry, threw his stick into the middle of the ice, his glove after it, then climbed over the railing, and skated out on to the ice to pick them up. The game had been stopped by an offside whistle. A member of his team tried to cover up for him by dropping his own stick and picking the two sticks up together.</p><p>According to my understanding of the rules, the throwing of the stick and glove would have called for a penalty and I also believe that having the seventh player on the ice would be an infringement of the rules. No penalty was called.</p><p>H. I. Smith</p><p>Chicago, Ill.</p><p>(The incident described by you would appear to call for a misconduct penalty for throwing the stick and glove on the ice, whether the play was stopped or not. However, the play having been stopped, there would be no penalty for the seventh player on the Ice.)</p><h2><b>POETRY CORNER</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I have been reading your fine paper since it first started and enjoy it very much. Several times you stated in the Fan Forum that you wanted more hockey poems, so I am sending you this one which I wrote.

Then came a story on the Edmonton Flyers and to top it all off, you recently printed a picture of Keith Woodall, goalie for Edmonton. Is this supposed to represent one of the best amateur leagues in the country?</p><p>Please, how about the individual games complete with summaries, and if possible, a story on the 1948-49 Allan Cup team, &ldquo;The Calgary Stampeders&rdquo;.</p><p>R.

We&rsquo;ll see what we can do about a story on the Calgary Stampeders, whether they win the Allan Cup or not.)</p><h2><b>WHO NAMED HIM?</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>In your issue of October 20, you printed a story about how Alex Kaleta got the name &ldquo;Seabiscuit&rdquo;. While your story is right for the most part, It Is wrong as to what team Kaleta was playing with when he picked up the nickname. I think you will find that Alex was called &ldquo;Seabiscuit&rdquo; when he played for Lethbridge Maple Leafs in 1939-40 and that It was Maple Leaf players who gave him the name, not Chicago Black Hawks.</p><p>Aubrey Marthaller</p><p>Lethbridge, Alta.</p><p>(That ain&rsquo;t the way we heard it son, but we&rsquo;ll be glad to check up on it when we see Alex again.)</p><h2><b>NO RELATION</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I wish to congratulate you on a very fine newspaper. I would like you to print a story on Max Bentley, who Is the best hockey player in the business. Could you please tell me if &ldquo;Sugar&rdquo; Jim Henry of Chicago Black Hawks and Gordon Henry who plays for Hershey Bears are related? Could you also give me Gaye Stewart&rsquo;s life-time record in the N.H.L.? Keep up the good work with the crosswords.</p><p>Don Ridyard</p><p>Midland, Ont.</p><p>(No, &ldquo;Sugar&rdquo; Jim and Gordon Henry are not related. Stewart came into the N.H.L. at the end of the 1941-42 season from Hershey, and took part in one playoff game with the Leafs. He went to Chicago during 1947-48. Up to the start of this season he had taken part in 219 league games, in which he had scored 111 goals and assisted in 83 more. In playoffs he has worked 26 games with six goals and 12 assists.)</p><h2><b>HE&rsquo;S ATTENDING &ldquo;U&rdquo;</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>This is my first year as a subscriber to THE HOCKEY NEWS and I find the paper very interesting. But, I also have a couple of questions, and I would like to know if you would please answer them.</p><p>Where is Cy Thomas, the player who was sent to Toronto with Max Bentley? Who was the winner of the Calder Trophy as the outstanding rookie of the year 1939-40?</p><p>Fred Lounslury</p><p>Sussex, N.B.</p><p>(Cy Thomas has given np professional hockey and is attending the University of Alberta. Kilby Macdonald, then with New York Rangers, won the Calder Trophy in 1939-40.)</p><h2><b>WANTS CORRESPONDENTS</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I would appreciate It if you could put a note in Fan Forum stating that I am interested in corresponding with all and any hockey fans on the North American continent, especially those who follow the American and Pacific Coast Hockey Leagues.</p><p>Thank you for publishing my letters to Fan Forum in the past.</p><p>Len Calinoff</p><p>Brooklyn, N.Y.</p><p>(For those of you who wish to write to Len, his address is 891 East 14th Street, Brooklyn 30, New York.)</p><h2><b>SEES IT OUR WAY</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>In answer to an article sent in to your Fan Forum by D. Curry. He asked why Bill Durnan was picked as The-Player-Of-The-Week recently, instead of Harry Lumley.</p><p>Well, if Mr. Curry listened to CBM on Saturday, November 6. he would have found his answer. At that time Canadiens blanked Detroit Red Wings 2-0. In that game Bill stopped lots of shots labelled as goals.</p><p>Where was the crossword puzzle in the November 3 issue? I think it&rsquo;s a great idea to print them. I remain a loyal Canuck fan and also a HOCKEY NEWS fan, so let&rsquo;s have a few more pictures of the Canadiens.</p><p>Brian Ross Jones</p><p>Montreal, Que.</p><h2><b>WANTS SPECIAL EDITION</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>In the column, Passing The Puck, Ken McKenzie stated that on October 23, a professional record was established when four Maple Leaf rookies scored their initial N.H.L. goals. This is quite true, but two seasons before that, the same thing happened on a Saturday night when Harry Taylor and Sid Smith were playing their second game in the N.H.L. along with Howie Meeker.</p><p>Sid was the first to score on a pass from Meeker after he (Smith) and Taylor remained scoreless in their first game which was against Montreal Canadiens. The second goal was scored by Meeker on a breakaway and the third by Harry Taylor, also on a breakaway.</p><p>Another idea I would like to submit to THE HOCKEY NEWS is why not give the fans a special Christmas edition of 24 pages, and asking the readers if they would prefer this to a 16 page weekly, which, when and if approved by the readers would not mind paying an extra dollar. This would satisfy us very much since there would be more stories about hockey players.</p><p>Michael Vasil</p><p>Arvida, Que.</p><p>(You&rsquo;ve got something there Mike! In years to come THE HOCKEY NEWS will undoubtedly have big special Xmas editions, but this year we will have to continue as usual.

Player - Of - The - Week

<div class="byline">By ACE FOLEY</div><p>HALIFAX, N.S.&mdash;</p><p>With a general tightening up in positions in the Maritime Senior (Big Four) Hockey League standings, much of the interest is now being centered in the Cape Breton League where the Glace Bay Miners were a stout leader last time we looked and the pre-season favorites Sydney Millionaires were languishing in the cellar.</p><p>Before the season opened, Sydney sports publicists let It be known that the Millionaires would be a serious contender for the Allan Cup in the spring of 1949. Back In 1941, the Millionaires reached the Cup finals with Regina Rangers, won the first two games, tied the third and then lost three in a row. Sydney hockey fans still think of that season with pangs of regret. Now they have been led to expect that the Dollar Men would seriously thrust themselves upon the national hockey scene.</p><h2><b>Pollsters Wrong Again</b></h2><p>Perhaps the pre-season predictions were based on fancy rather than facts. Perhaps it&rsquo;s still too early to really tell. But whatever the reason, the Millionaires could boast only one victory In five starts and had scored only seven goals. Meanwhile the Glace Bay Miners got off the starting blocks with a spurt that carried them to the top of the table and the North Sydney Victorias were a bang-up second.</p><p>Players In the Cape Breton circuit have been recruited from all parts of Canada. While the clubs naturally refuse to divulge inner-chamber secrets, it&rsquo;s no great secret that Cape Breton sports promoters took the bands off their bankrolls and no player seriously considered came too high in a financial sort of way. All three teams are well stocked with players, the campaign will be a strenuous one &mdash; six games every seven nights &mdash; and the Millionaires might rise to heights predicted for them, despite a belated start.</p><h2><b>They&rsquo;re Satisfied</b></h2><p>While many sports followers on the mainland regard the Cape Breton hockey campaign as a bit top-heavy, the towns themselves are satisfied It will be a paying proposition for all concerned. For one thing the scene shifts each night, with each club now having its own rink. Before they re-assembled the rink formerly occupying a central position at H.M.C.S. Cornwallis, near Digby, the North Sydney Vics had to use the Sydney and Glace Bay rinks for their homs games. Now they have a rink of their own, much smaller in size than either Glace Bay or Sydney but still adequate to generate sufficient hockey heat to warm the financial backers.</p><p>For another thing hockey is definitely the sport king In Cape Breton during the winter months. The only counter attraction is curling and, as you know, that&rsquo;s a player rather than a spectator sport. So the season may be long and meaty, but It&rsquo;s not too long nor too thick.</p><h2><b>Arrows Trip Surprise</b></h2><p>In the Maritime Big Four League, the champion Moncton Hawks jumped the field in the first two weeks and squared off with a sizeable lead. But Halifax St. Mary&rsquo;s and Dartmouth Arrows began taking their hurdles in stride and have cut the gap considerably. Only the Saint John Beavers have shown a serious inclination to lag, and that&rsquo;s partially due to the illness of veteran coach Jackie Keating.</p><p>The banner boys of the early season were the Dartmouth Arrows, who picked up the defunct Truro Bearcats franchise. Arrows started slowly but are now In full flight. This is due mainly to their successes on the road when they whipped Saint John and Moncton on successive nights. It was the first &lsquo;sweep&rsquo; by any league club on the road and he success was immediately noted at the box office when they returned to their &ldquo;home&rdquo; base in Halifax. Arrows still long for a rink of their own, but it is at least a year off.</p><h2><b>Referee Ructions</b></h2><p>The league ran Into trouble early in the schedule when Moncton&rsquo;s Buck Whitlock and Dartmouth&rsquo;s Eddie Sorel picked up match misconduct penalties and then three-igame suspensions for</p><p>their misdeeds. But since then the boys have stuck to their knitting and the referees haven&rsquo;t had too much trouble maintaining control.</p><p>The only fly in the ointment is that the clubs have protested certain referees and the league leaders have changed them. Dartmouth and Saint John are particular offenders in this case. One wonders just how much the league leaders will take in the matter of assigning referees before they put their feet down and make their own decisions.</p><p>St. Mary&rsquo;s have yet to make a start with their junior team. There are several holdovers from last season but many of the &lsquo;key&rsquo; players have departed. With the Santamarians now running a senior team, it is believed that the juniors will be far off the pace they set the past three years. It takes time to build a Memorial Cup contender and St. Mary&rsquo;s have been hard hit by graduations to senior ranks.</p><p>Marty Barry, the old smoothie of the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings, has moved his family to Halifax and may remain here permanently. Marty has become a fixture In these parts and everything is more pleasant for him now that his family is here.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Who Holds That Record?

<p>PORT ARTHUR, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Railbirds around these parts feel that Fort William Rangers and Port Arthur Juniors are through with thein door-mat roles. Last season the Rangers and the Juniors took it on the chin as most of the bouquets were hurled the way of the Port Arthur Bruins (the Memorial Cup champs) and Fort William Columbus Club (now Columbus Canadiens).</p><p>The Juniors didn&rsquo;t have very much to start with while the Rangers were crippled when a good many of their star performers found their way into other uniforms. In the case of the Juniors, they didn&rsquo;t even have a coach until after the season was under way and Sammy Gigliotti took over the reins.</p><h2><b>Seven Outsiders</b></h2><p>This season the Juniors have no less than seven non-Lakehead players in uniform. Five of the newcomers are from Kenora &mdash; Gordon Pearson, Gordon Fortier, Sam Williamson and Don Blom, forwards, and Bernard Kirkoski, a defenseman. In addition, they have two Selkirk, Man., imports, Spud Spence and Don Griffith.</p><p>Rangers also came up with a Selkirk youngster in the person of Frank Fiddler, a defenseman. They are banking heavily on players from the minor league ranks in Fort William as well as last year&rsquo;s holdovers.</p><h2><b>Retain Same Coach</b></h2><p>Don Dafoe is again in goal while defensemen include Rip Oakley, Jack Durston, Bob Polden and Jerry Ward. The forward lines are fashioned as follows: Alex Delveechio, George Tait and Johnny Irving; Fred Cook, Bruce Corness and Alex (Moe) Irving; Fred Hovey, Bob Coffey and Bill - Auld.</p><p>The Juniors, incidentally, are the only team with the same coach as last season. Rangers are headed by Jazzy Manahan, who succeeds Gordon Houston. Port Arthur Bruins have Joe McArthur at the helm in place of Ed Lauzon&rsquo; while Bob Walton has succeeded Leo Barblni with Canadiens.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

AMERICAN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">BY HEC MacLEAN</div><p>CALGARY, Alta.&mdash;</p><p>Bellevue Lions, the club which has been more or less orphaned since the start of the season because of the fact Benny Hayes failed to show up to accept the coaching job, may come to life and give rival teams in the Western Junior Hockey League a good run for their money in future games.</p><p>Management of the mining city team recently announced the obtaining of Roderick (Scotty) Munro for the job of coach of Lions. The deal came as a big surprise, considering Scotty&rsquo;s good showing last year in the Memorial Cup playdowns with Lethbridge Native Sons.</p><p>Munro left Native Sons in good standing and there are no hard feelings between the former Moose Jaw Juvenile coach and club manager Ed. Bruchet. Apparently the two merely agreed to disagree.</p><p>Scotty&rsquo;s job at the helm of Native Sons was taken by 22-year-old Tommy Wood, who has played a few games with the senior Maple Leafs this year. Tommy, who came up through Lethbridge, midget, juvenile and junior ranks, played last year with New York Rovers. He has a grand personality and should be able to handle Sons in fine style.</p><p>Obtaining a good coach should provide Bellevue with a potent shot in the arm. The club has been dangerous in nearly all starts and will be no pushover from now on.</p><p>Meanwhile Calgary Buffaloes continue to set a rapid pace and Lome Carr&rsquo;s Buffs are starting to steal the show from Ken Doraty&rsquo;s Moose Jaw Canucks, practically a unanimous selection as the teann to beat at the start of the new circuit.</p><p>At this writing Buffs have won seven consecutive games with no losses or ties on hand to mar that fine record.</p><h2><b>Had To Fight</b></h2><p>That Buffs haven&rsquo;t had all the games handed to them on a platter is indicated by the fact that they were forced into overtime the other night to turn back Joe Fisher&rsquo;s improving Medicine Hat Tigers by a 5-3 margin. Report oi the game indicated it was only the stellar netminding job of young Bob Bartlett which prevented a Medicine Hat upset.</p><p>Regina helped Buffs&rsquo; and their own cause considerably when Murray Armstrong&rsquo;s Patricias edged Canucks 5-4. Regina, with a young club and only four players from last year&rsquo;s aggregation, weren&rsquo;t given much consideration at the start of the schedule. Pats have split a four-game series with Canucks and the Regina team should be in there punching around playoff time.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Washington Lions Roster

<div class="byline">By &#x2019;BUNNY&#x2019; MORGANSON</div><p>It&rsquo;s hard to believe, yet it&rsquo;s true.</p><p>Last season he was discarded, forgotten, by the hockey parade. This season he is once again the toast of the hockey fans. Such is the story of William &ldquo;Flash&rdquo; Hollett, former National Hockey League performer of some 16 years experience with Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, and Detroit Red Wings. &ldquo;Flash&rdquo;, the self-made hockey great, retired from the professional end of the game two winters ago and elected to coach the Toronto Stafford&rsquo;s entry in the Ontario Hockey Association. That part was ok but when &ldquo;Flash&rdquo; sought to play as an amateur, the red-tape that involves the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and the NHL (when it comes to getting reinstatements), he found that his last professional club said &ldquo;No.&rdquo; Hollett remained out of hockey that particular season, confining himself to the coaching end of the game. The next winter, 1947-48, Hollett moved to Kitchener where he filled the dual role as playlng-coach for the &ldquo;Flying Dutchmen&rdquo; of the Kitchener-Waterloo area and with all the necessary official sanction.</p><p>But Flash and the K-W hockeyists didn&rsquo;t get along too well and before the season was half over, the big fellow retired to his farm near Clarkson, Ont. Illness was partly the blame for the set-back; but it looked like the end of the hockey road for William &ldquo;Flash&rdquo; Hollett.</p><p>When the current 1948-49 hoekey season rolled Into fevered activity, Marlboro seniors were getting nowhere fast losing their first three games.</p><h2><b>Never Felt Better</b></h2><p>During one ef the Dukes practice sessions at Toronto&rsquo;s Maple Leaf Gardens, &ldquo;Flash&rdquo; Hollett, displaying his famous NHL smile, and declaring to all who recognized him, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m in perfect health, never felt better for several seasons and I&rsquo;ve taken off a hit of weight through hard work out on the farm.&rdquo;</p><p>During that practice, Hollett and Coach Joe Primeau of the Dukes got together for one of those lively chit-chats that always break out when two former NHL stars meet.</p><p>&ldquo;Gee I&rsquo;d like to work out with the club Joe,&rdquo; Hollet said somewhere in the flood of conversation.</p><p>&ldquo;Flash you&rsquo;re welcome to try any time, you couldn&rsquo;t be worse than any member on the club as they all have been going very poorly,&rdquo; Primeau replied.</p><p>So Hollett worked out with the Senior Dukes and hockey history was remade all over again.</p><p>Some 16 years ago, Hollett, a star box-lacrosse player, watched the Toronto Maple Leafs in practice and, stalking up beside Manager Conn Smythe and asked him for a tryout with the hockey lads.&rdquo; Go ahead Bill, you can&rsquo;t be-any worse than that mob out there,&rdquo; said Smythe at that time.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-0920/963372-1-eng-US/f0015-092.jpg" title="f0015-09" width="516" height="853"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b><i>Makes Comeback</i></b></p><p><b>FLASH HOLLETT</b></p></figcaption></div><h2><b>Sold to Boston</b></h2><p>Hollett rose to the hockey heights and was at his peak when the Leafs sold him to Boston Bruins during the thrifty thirties for a cool $16,000, a sensational prize during that depression period.</p><p>Since &ldquo;Flash&rdquo; Hollett took up his old defense post, Marlboro Seniors went on a streak of winning four of their next seven games, the other three contest ending in overtime draw decisions.</p><p>Hollett doesn&rsquo;t toss his body around as of old, rather he is using an effective poke-check that has completely upset the opposition with his effective blocking.</p><p>Senior Dukes ran into overtime games with Owen Sound on two successive nights. They defeated Kitchener and Stratford on two occasions and also enjoyed an overtime 1-all draw with Hamilton Tigers on the OHA senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; champions&rsquo; home ice in the Mountain City.</p><p>&ldquo;Flash&rdquo; has made it possible for the rest of our lads to relax and play the hockey of which they are capable&rdquo;, was Joe Primeau&rsquo;s tribute to the veteran NHL star who is once again riding the crest of fan popularity in Ontario&rsquo;s senior amateur circuit.</p><p>Hamilton Tigers are still leading the OHA senior race but their margin narrows with each passing week. They are but three points ahead of the second place Kitchener-Waterloo &ldquo;Dutchmen&rdquo; who &mdash; In turn &mdash; hold a point margin over the third place Owen Sound Mercurys.</p><p>Marlboros, as a result of their 5-3 win over the Indians in Stratford on Monday last, finally leaped out of the cellar position which had been their fate since the start of the season a month ago. The Dukes are now in fourth place, one point below the Owen Sound club. Startford Indians, who have ranged all the way from secpnd to fifth and last position, their present location.</p><h2><b>Tee-Pees Lead</b></h2><p>St. Catharines Tee-Pees proved themselves worthy leaders of the OHA Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; series when they marched into Windsor last Saturday and defated the spitfires 5-4 before over 5,000 roaring home town fans. It was Windsor&rsquo;s first defeat in nine starts, having swept aside all opposition in their previous eight games.</p><p>While Windsor was stopped by Art Jackson&rsquo;s fast travelling TeePees, they, the Border City Spitfires now share second rung in the junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; series with Tommy Anderson&rsquo;s Oshawa Generals. The Generals came up with a startling 12-6 home ice win over Guelph with Dusty Blair and Dick Gamble coming up with three goals each. Barrie Flyers, defending champions, are still plenty tough opposition on their home ice and are coasting along in third place with a record of six wins in 11 games.</p><p>Stratford Kroehlers took on new life after scoring a home and home triumph over the St. Catharines crew and then followed up with a wih over Marlboros at Maple Leaf Gardens to vault back into fourth place again with ten points tieing Guelph Biltmores for the same position.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

And to start the ball rolling the V.S.R. introduced the cub around. Joe Farrell, the jovial publicity man for the Hawks, was introduced as Bill Tobin. Somebody else was given the tag of Johnny Gottselig, then the&rsquo; coach of Hawks.</p><p>The pseudo-Tobin, the cub and the V.S.R. etood around and chatted for a while with the cub taking copious notes on all of &ldquo;Tobin&rsquo;s&rdquo; pronouncements. Finally, came the piece-de-resistance of the conversation.</p><p>&ldquo;Do you think we should let &ldquo;him in on the big news?&rdquo; said the V.S.R. to &ldquo;Tobin.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Well, It&rsquo;s up to you &hellip; you&rsquo;ve got the scoop on the story but you can let the agency have It If you want,&rdquo; was the reply.</p><p>So the V.S.R. turned to the cub and said:</p><p>&ldquo;The Hawks have signed up a real Eskimo to play for them this season &hellip; a fellow by the name of Johnny Ooglenook. His last name means &lsquo;Great Whale Hunter&rsquo; or something like that.&rdquo;</p><p>Since even cub reporters are likely to be a bit skeptical about such matters, Farrell and the sports reporter dressed up their yarn in an aura of authenticity. The Eskimo, they claimed, had been, given a pair of skates by a Hudson Bay factor and had become like so much greased lightning on the blades. The factor had taught him to handle a hockey stick and the Eskimo had become so adept that the puck would practically remain glued to the end of as stick.</p><p>&ldquo;A funny thing about signing him up is that he wouldn&rsquo;t take all his pay in money,&rdquo; said Farrell. &ldquo;He wants to be paid partly in cash and partly in fish that we&rsquo;ll have to deliver to the members of family. He felt that just getting money wouldn&rsquo;t be much good because there&rsquo;s no place to spend it up in the Arctic.&rdquo;</p><p>Other choice tidbits of information were added, the cub taking it all down in his notebook. Finally he figured he had enough for the story of Johnny Ooglenook, the Eskimo sensation who was to make his debut with the Black Hawks, and so he prepared to take his leave.</p><p>As the cub started towards the exit, Farrell and the V.S.R. figured that the joke had gone far enough. They called back the cub and told him it was all an imaginary story. The cub took the joke in good part and happens today to be a better-than-average hockey reporter.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>
