Ranger ‘Spec’ Kid Clint Albright—Switches To Study
Bespectacled Clint Albright, who played last season for the New York Rangers, has retired from hockey to continue his studies, General Manager Frank Boucher of the Blueshirts announced from the club’s training headquarters at Lake Placid, New York. Albright, who reminds you more of a college professor than a rough-going hockey player, is remaining at home in Winnipeg to complete his education Boucher revealed. The 25-year-old Manitoba native interupted his studies a year ago to join the Rangers and scored 14 goals in his rookie season. Whether he will return to the Rangers when he finishes his studies was not made known by the New York G.M. Albright requires an other year at the University of Manitoba to gain an engineering degree.…

New Year……Two New Faces
Ten American Hockey League Coaches will parade their charges to the ice next week in what is expected to be the “best ever season” of the loop. Of the ten coaches, one is new, but familar and one returns to an old position. The new coach is grand old King Clancy, the most talked about and sworn at ex-NHL referee and player since way back. Leroy Goldsworthy is the man returning to an old position. Last season he coached the Houston Huskies of the United States League and the season prior he headed the same club as now, the Buffalo Bisons. Clancy will be a welcome addition to the A.H.L. line of coaches and the N.H.L. will miss him ““very much. He was not judged exclusively as a referee in the N.H.L but also…
At Lively 28, Miliar Tries Hand As Coach
WINNIPEG, Man.— Junior hockeydom’s eyebrows arched a little with the announced that Hugh Millar had been named coach of Winnipeg Black Hawks of the Manitoba Junior league. Millar, still young enough to hold his own in the pro wars, decided to leave Indianapolis Capitals last season to try his hand at operating a hotel and perhaps coach a little on the side. Jack Adams of Detroit declined to see eye to eye with Millar and refused to release him so he could coach Canadien juniors. Baldy Northcott apparently was more successful and persuaded Millar’s owners to allow him to handle this year’s junior Hawks. A native of Stonewall, Man., Millar played for Northcott’s Ranger junior’s Memorial cup winners in 1941. He is 28 years old and succeeds Alf Pike as the…
