TORONTO, Ont.— Irving Bailey, better known as the famous “Ace” Bailey of the Toronto Maple Leafs (1926-34) has found that coaching a college sextet can be almost as hectic as playing with the NHL.

Moncton Hawks eliminated the second place Dartmouth Arrows in an up-and-down series highlighted by…

Composed of former pro stars and amateur players from various Ontario centres and American hot-beds of hockey, the team already has run away with the league title in the W.M.S.H.L. Beaten only twice this season, the Soo aggregation are odds-on favorites to take the playoff round in their own circuit. Clark Selby, publicity director of the club, told THE HOCKEY NEWS that the Soo club will meet New York Rovers in the next round of the United States amateur title race In the event they win in…
