That Red Light Fascinates Them
Whether It be the first or 200th goal of a hockey player’s career, the hard competition of a game makes him just as enthusiastic when he lights that red goal lamp. Terry Reardon, playing coach of the high flying Providence Reds in the American Hockoy League, who has scored many a marker during his brilliant career in both the American and National Hockey Leagues, enjoyed profound jubilation over scoring a goal recently.

DALLAS, Tex.— Down here in the city which is called the “Paris of the United States,” where beautiful girls smile on you all the time, is the home of the Dallas Texans Hockey Club of the United States Hockey League.

TORONTO, Ont.— They don’t call him“Tiny” for nothing. J.J McFadyen, newly elected president of the Ontario Hockey Association, has been known around the Ontario hockey scene as “Tiny” for the past 40 years. A leading industralist in his native city of Galt, J. J. McFadyen has also been a power behind the hockey development of that booming city and the province.
