NATIONAL LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By JIM ELLERY</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>The American Hockey League players who were voted the special commendation awards last season, will each receive a beautiful permanent trophy in addition to the cash, bonus,, which has already been presented to them. This is the first time that such trophies have been presented, as in the past, the bonus was the only material thing which the players received in honor of their achievements.</p><p>It was thought by the league that the players who gained such high recognition among their contemporaries should have a lasting reminder of their efforts to retain for their lifetime, winning. Thus it is only fitting that a player who is rated over the rest should receive in addition to the financial rewards, something that he can consider strictly honor and glory. These trophies, will do just that.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-066/899417-1-eng-US/f0020-062.jpg" title="f0020-06" width="139" height="224"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 139px"><b>Sid Smith</b></figcaption></div><p>In the past, of the five awards for an outstanding achievement, only two of them included the presentation of a trophy. The best goaltender has been rewarded for years with a trophy given by Al Sutphin, formerly of the Cleveland Hockey Club. This is called the Harry Holmes Memorial Trophy. Last season, the St. Louis Flyers Booster Club, made a wonderful gesture when they announced that they would present a permanent trophy to the player judged to be the most valuable in the league.</p><p>Now that the three new trophies will be given, all five of the special feats will have the additional rewards tor the winners. The new trophies are, The Dudley &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Garrett Memorial Trophy, The Jack Fox Memorial Trophy, and the Carl Liscombe Trophy. These are the same titles by which the cash awards have been called for the past few years.</p><p>The Dudley &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Garrett Memorial Trophy, symbolic of the player who proved to be the most outstanding first year man in American Hockey League competition, will go to Terry Sawchuk, star rookie goaltender of last season&rsquo;s Indianapolis Capitals.</p><p>Sid Smith, who led the league in scoring last season while playing for Pittsburgh, will receive the Carl Liscombe Trophy. This trophy, which will go to the player with the most total points at the end of each regularly scheduled season, was won by Smith by virtue of his 112 points last year, compiled on 55 goals and 57 assists. The trophy will retain its present name until any player should set a new league scoring record, passing the 118 total now held by Liscombe. As soon as a player surpasses that total, the trophy and award will then be renamed. It is expected that Smith will play with Toronto Maple Leafs in, the National League this season.</p><p>The Jack Fox Memorial Trophy which is in recognition of the player who best performed in a sportsmanlike manner, as well as being effective in play, goes to Carl Liscombe, veteran left wing star of the champion Providence Reds. Liscombe has won every award possible for him, as well as being voted to the all star teams. Smith received his trophy on the night of October 17th, when the Toronto and Pittsburgh teams met in an exhibition game In Pittsburgh.</p></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-076/899410-1-eng-US/f0020-072.jpg" title="f0020-07" width="143" height="226"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 143px"><b>Carl Liscombe</b></figcaption></div><p>The other two trophies will be given to Sawchuk and Liscombe before a game in their own home arenas, sometime in the early season.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

Here’s What Fans Have Waited For!

<div class="byline">BY ED FITKIN</div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>The experimental 70-game N.H.L. schedule was only a few games old when dynamic Conn Smythe, the brains behind the brawny Toronto Maple Leafs, came to the forceful conclusion that quantity and quality will go hand-inhand in determining the winner of the 1949-50 Stanley Cup sweepstakes.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got to have more manpower,&rdquo; he declared as he glumly noted that the 19-men squad he hand-picked for Toronto&rsquo;s fourth consecutive championship bid had been reduced to 14 after only two league games. &ldquo;I can see now that we&rsquo;re cutting it too fine and I&rsquo;m seriously considering a permanent staff of 13 forwards, seven defensemeu and, of course, a goalie.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>MORE MANPOWER NEEDED</b></h2><p>The Toronto maestro, who has the reputation of always being a jump ahead of his N.H.L. rivals, figures that the extra manpower is essential not only to see a club through the long 70-game haul but also to insure top hockey performances for the fans.</p><p>&ldquo;Hockey is a combination of showmanship and sport,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;People come to see a good club and a good show. I don&rsquo;t think that we can give them one consistently over the 70-game schedule if the current rate of injuries continues and we haven&rsquo;t the quota of players available to dress. Right now, we can&rsquo;t do it. of course. We haven&rsquo;t the supply. But I think we will have soon.&rdquo;</p><p>The Stanley Cup champs, more than any other N.H.L. club, have been buffeted briskly by the whims of hockey fate this semester. The eye-injury to Baz Bastien that terminated his career and the retirement of Howie Harvey because of a skin-and-eye infection deprived the Leafs of their No. 2 and No. 3 hetminders and left them, as Smythe asserted, &ldquo;sitting on a blockbuster.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;If anyone ever pulled the fuse on Turk Broda,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know where we&rsquo;d be.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>TALES OF WOES</b></h2><p>Gusty Gus Mortson, free-wheeling defense ace, was the next casualty. Then Bill Ezinicki came a cropper with torn ankle ligaments. Mortson, on the mend in time for the opening league game, aggravated his injury and returned to the sidelines. Rookie Center Bobby Dawes was also a firstgame casualty, collecting a kneeinjury that was serious enough to merit a two-to-three week layoff.</p><p>Entered as second class matter Juna 1948. at the Post Office In Buffalo.

Rough or Tame Hockey</b></p><p><b>Place: St. Louis, Mo.</b></p><p><b>Johnny Farraro Office Clerk</b></p><p>&ldquo;I like my hockey rough, it is better to watch from the fans&rsquo; point of view. A tame hockey game is o.k., if there are two good teams of stickhandlers playing. But for a good game of hockey, I&rsquo;ll take mine rough. By rough I don&rsquo;t mean killing each other but just using their weight and a lot of good bodychecking. A slow tame game is hard on my eyes.&rdquo;</p><p><b>Ethel Janies Stenographer</b></p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll take it either way, I like hockey so much that it doesn&rsquo;t make any difference how they play it. <i>I</i> would rather see a game with plenty of action than anything else. It doesn&rsquo;t give me a very good feeling to see players being carried off to get patched up. But I don&rsquo;t like sissies either. We have a good rough team so anybody playing here has to play it our way or else. But as I say, I&rsquo;ll just take hockey.&rdquo;</p><p><b>Tony Clementi Waiter</b></p><p>&ldquo;I think I prefer a fast game with plenty of action but few penalties A game with a lot of penalties is not worth watching. We never see a proper game if there is somebody sitting in the penalty box all night. But a good fast game with lots of rushing and stickhandling is something to watch. A game with fights is o.k., if you like that sort of stuff, but I&rsquo;m used to fast smooth hockey and that&rsquo;s the way I Tike it.

Goalmouth Pyramid Club

<div class="byline">By CARL GROTHMANN</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>If early games provide an accurate forecast of the entire 1949-50 NHL season the New York Rangers are going to present a brand new team to Gotham&rsquo;s hockey fans when they debut at Madison Square Garden Wednesday, October 26, against the Boston Bruins.</p><p>It&rsquo;s true that only five members of the current sextet are wearing a Blue Shirt for the first time but local ice enthusiasts will have to look long and hard to recognize last year&rsquo;s favorites in their new war paint. The 1949-50 edition of the Rangers is a rough, tough aggregation, with a fighting spirit that hasn&rsquo;t been seen in these parts since before the war.</p><p>Coach Lynn Patrick took his charges i nto training camp at Lake Placid last month determined to develop the Blues into a winning club by first making them a fighting club. He said he was tired of watching the Rangers absorb elbows, high sticks and board checks by other teams while doing nothing about it. High time, he said, that we started to give back what, we&rsquo;ve been getting.</p><p>Now, with three games under their belt at this writing, the Big Blue Machine shows promise of doing this, and maybe more. They opened with the Canadiens in Montreal October 15 and though they lost 3-1 in a game that was close until the closing minutes, the new Yorkers outfought the Habitants all the way. Ten Rangers were sent to the penalty box, three more than in any game the Blue Shirts have played since the war.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-073/897087-1-eng-US/f0002-072.jpg" title="f0002-07" width="160" height="243"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Lynn Patrick</b></figcaption></div><p>The Rangers moved down to Boston the following night where they played the Bruins to a 2-2 tie. Although their penalties decreased to four in number in a fast, clean game the New Yorkers out-penalized the Bruins by eight minutes to four.</p><h2><b>Chips On Shoulders</b></h2><p>If fighting spirit is a vital factor in a drive for a play-off berth and the Stanley Cup the Blue Shirts are well on the road to victory. Already two NHL teams have gained new respect for the New Yorkers and if Lynn Patrick has his way all five rivals will fear his reborn team before the season has advanced much further.</p><p>Newcomers, like Pat Egan and Gus Kyle, a pair of bruising defensemen, and Bing Juckes, a scrappy little forward, are partly responsible for the new fight but holdovers from last year&rsquo;s sextet are also displaying warlike tendencies. They&rsquo;re learning it&rsquo;s as easy to give as it is to take and this year they&rsquo;re giving.</p><p>As an example, take Allan Stanley who last year spent only 22 minutes in the penalty box in 40 games. Allan has already acquired six minutes in the coop in two games this year. He&rsquo;s rougher and tougher this year and without any sacrifice of his effective pokechecking technique.</p><p>The others are the same. They&rsquo;ve learned to exchange an elbow for an elbow and a check for a check. And they are confident their newly acquired tactics are going to win them a much higher standing in the NHL race than they have had in the past several years.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Bruins Youngest, Habs Oldest Club In N.H.L.

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div><p>KINGSTON, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Arthur Howie (Art) Ross and Donald H. (Danny) Bain were elected to the International Hockey Hall of Fame, it was announced here by James B. Garvin, K.C. president of the Hockey Hall of Fame.</p><p>Ross, possessor of one of the most inventive minds in hockey and currently vicepresident and general manager of the Boston Bruins, was an outstanding player, referee, coach and manager in the National Hockey League. His contributions to the game are tremendous. Although Bain is not so familiar to the hockey public throughout the continent as Ross, lie was recognized as one of the greatest amateur players to ever lace on a skate. Now 75-years-old, Bain was a member of the Winnipeg Victorias, Stanley Cup winners in 189596 and 1900-01.</p><p>Ross and Bain are the first players to be admitted to the Hockey Hall of Fame since February, 1947, when such greats of the game as Aubrey V. &ldquo;Dit&rdquo; Clapper, Lester Patrick, Eddie Shore, Frank Nighbor, Aurel Joliat, Frank W. &ldquo;Cyclone&rdquo; Taylor and Russell Bowie were so honored. Clapper, incidentally, was the first living player to be elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame. With the addition of Ross and Bain, the total number of players to be elected to hockey&rsquo;s shrine is now 18.</p><p>Modern hockey owes much to &ldquo;Uncle Arthur&rdquo; Ross, a man whose practical visions of hockey&rsquo;s greatness never dimmed. An ebullient even turbulent player, Ross stepped into the roles of hardboiled, efficient referee and keen, astute executive.</p><p>It was Ross who designed the puck-snaring nets and, to cut down the number of injuries, the bevelled-edge puck and the leather helmet that was in.vogue following a near-tatallty, Both the net and puck devised by Ross are standard equipment in the National Hockey Deague today. He never ran out of ideas. He orginated the kitty-bar-the-door style of defensive hockey and his everalert mind continually produced accepted suggestions for improved rearrangement of zone play. He advocated recognition of a team&rsquo;s defence, maintaining a successful defense rated points as well as the goal-getting offence.</p><p>When Charles F. Adams brought the Boston Bruins into the N.H.L. in 1924, he took Art Ross, then a standout N.H.L. referee along as manager-coach. He soon became Mr. Hockey to Boston fans and proved himself a smart strategist and outstanding handler of players. Some of the great players developed by Art Ross are Eddie Shore, Lionel Hitchman, Haary Oliver, Dit Clapper, Dutch Gainor, Cooney Weilland, Milt Scmidt, Woody Dumart, Bobby Bauer, Bill Cowley and the two star goalies, Tiny Thompson and Frank Brimsek.</p><p>Art Ross was born in Westmount, Que. on January 13, 1885. He took part in many sports as a youngster and starred at most. In baseball he was ambidextrous, often pitching left-handed during the late innings. In football he could boot the ball equally well with either foot.</p><p>The distinction of being the highest paid player in hockey belongs to Ross. He was once paid $1,000 for two games. It was after the turn of the century and he lined up with Cobalt in a fierce two-game series against their hated rivals, Haileybury. Ross, the hard-hitting defenceman, played magnificently in both contests to lead Cobalt to Victory.</p><p>Ross played hockey 29 years, 17 as a professional. He was a star performer with Kenora Thistles when that team defeated Montreal Wanderers for the Stanley Cup in 1906. He was also a valued member of the Montreal Wanderers for the Stanley Cup in 1906. He was also a valued member of the Montreal Wanderers when that famed aggregation won the Stanley Cup in 1906-07 and 1907-08.</p><p>Believing that the player winning the National Hockey League scoring championship each year should receive some sort of a trophy, Ross in 1947 donated the Art Ross Trophy, which is awarded annually to the N.H.L. player who ends the regular season with the most total scoring points.</p><p>The name of Art Ross is a byword in hockey. His playing, coaching, managing and refereeing feats, his myriad inventions and contributions to the game will be remembered as long as hockey is played.</p><h2><b>Bain&rsquo;s Record</b></h2><p>&ldquo;Danny&rdquo; Bain never played hockey as a professioonal. He made his excellent record prior to the advent of professionalism. He was one of the first great western players to in acclaim in the east. It was Bain&rsquo;s sparkling display at center ice that won the Stanley Cup for Winnipeg Victorias from the Montreal Vics in 1896. He was named captain of the Winnipeg Victorias and led the team east in unsuccessful cuptrips in 1899 and 1900. He was with the team when they won the Stanley Cup from the Montreal Shamrocks in 1901 and was still captain when they lost to the Montreal A.A.A. Team in 1902. He was was a star athlete in other sports such as lacrosse, gymnastics, trapshooting (he won the Canadian.rapshooting championship In 1903 at Toronto) and bicycling. Up to the time he was nearly 70, he was prominent in figure skating, winning numerous championships. Born in Belleville, Ont. on Feb. 14, 1874 Bain built up a thriving business as a wholesale commission agent in Winnipeg the city in which he still resides.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hub Boss And Old Danny Are Placed With Greats

<p class="dropcap"><b><span>T</span>he 1949-50 season marks the 26th consecutive season that Arthur H. Ross has guided the destinies of the Boston Bruins. He is the oldest executive in the N.H.L. in point of service. It is pretty well recognized everywhere that Art Ross and Lester Patrick, also a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, have contributed more to hockey than any other two individuals. Oddly enough, Ross and Patrick were boyhood pals and played all sports together as boys in their native Montreal.</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Great Pair

<p class="dropcap"><b><span>A</span>rt Ross was refereeing a Stanley Cup final at Ottawa in the spring of 1924 between Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Tigers. Canadiens won the game 6-1 and completely outplayed the Calgary club. Aurel Joliat was having a great night for Canadiens and after he had scored his third goal and Ross was picking the puck out of the net, the Calgary goalie, Charlie Reid, in a sarcastic voice said: &ldquo;Ross, as long as you&rsquo;re refereeing, the Stanley Cup will never go to the West&rdquo;. Quick as a Tiger, Ross replied: &ldquo;Reid as long as you&rsquo;re playing goal, it will never go to Calgary.&rdquo;</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Because of the vast importance which attaches to this honor and the lasting nature of the appointment, the choice must be made carefully and painstakingly to make sure only those most worthy are chosen.</p><p>Many fans probably have often wondered just how the selection is made. For their benefit, here&rsquo;s a brief summary of the complicated procedure, as outlined in the official constitution and by-laws of the Internationl Hockey Hall of Fame Inc.</p><h2><b>How It Starts</b></h2><p>All selections are made by a Board of 16 Governors, who are elected for a term of five years. Each Governor is entitled to nominate as many as three men whom he thinks worthy of entry to the Hall of Fame. These nominations, giving the fullest possible information about each candidate, must be filed with the Chairman of the Board 60 days before the date set for the election. Each Governor is entitled to nominate just one or two candidates, or, none at all if he doesn&rsquo;t wish to.</p><p>Then the Chairman notifies each Governor of all the candidates nominated, supplying data and records on each.</p><p>The Governors then fill in their ballots with the names of 10 of these eligible candidates they feel are entitled to enter the Hall of Fame.</p><p>The votes are tabulated, and any candidates receiving the approval of not less than 75 per cent of the Governors are declared elected.</p><h2><b>13 At Most</b></h2><p>Since there are 16 Governors, that means that a candidate must be named on at least 12 of the ballots sent in. Since 10 men are named by each of the 16 Govenors&mdash;or a total of 160 votes&mdash;that means that at the most only 13 men could receive the minimum number of 12 votes necessary. So far that hasn&rsquo;t occured.</p><p>If no candidate receives the approval of 12 Governors on first ballot, a second vote then is taken on the 10 who received the most votes. The Governors then are asked to choose just five of thesa for the second tabulation, when any candidates getting the necessary 75 per cent or 12 votes are declared elected.</p><p>Since there are still such a large number of great players and hockey figures still not chosen for the Hall of Fame, it&rsquo;s a stiff task for any man to get a nod from 12 of the 16 selectors. In fact, as can be seen from the latest balloting, only two men &#149;&mdash;Art Ross and &ldquo;Danny&rdquo; Bain&mdash;got enough votes to qualify.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Entry To Fame Hall Only For Select Few

Passing the Puck

<p>PITTSBURGH, Pa.&mdash;</p><p>It was plucky Baz Bastien&rsquo;s farewell to arms, and there was a lump in everybody&rsquo;s throat as the sturdy goalie stepped out on the ice to bid his formal goodbye as an active player to the sport he loved so well.</p><p>It was a benefit game last October 17 between his former team, Pittsburgh Hornets, and the Toronto Maple Leafs, which had been arranged to lend a helping hand to the net guardian whose active career was suddenly ended by a flying puck which cost him the loss of an eye during training season.</p><p>The Leafs won the game 4-0, but the result was the least important part of the whole affair. What counted was the gesture to a stricken comrade who will never play again. The only fly in the ointment was the fact that a steel strike held Pittsburgh in its grip, and a slim crowd of only 3,225 turned out.</p><h2><b>Helps Out Some&rdquo;</b></h2><p>Even at that, a total of $5,212 was raised to help the wounded warrior over the rough spots. His appointment as scout and assistant coach will help him stay close to the game he cherishes above all others.</p><p>Bastien was given a heartwarming ovation as he stepped out on the ice to receive the Hap Holmes Trophy, which he won as the outstanding goaltender in the American Hockey League last winter. Then he stepped up to the mike and spoke briefly;</p><p>&ldquo;I would like to make this brief as I know the Toronto team has to catch a train.&rdquo; He paused, then &ldquo;I would like to take the opportunity to thank Mr. Smythe and the Toronto team.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Baz Is Touched</b></h2><p>Then his emotion overcame him and a lump rose in his throat. The crowd gave him a terrific round of applause, as he walked from the ice, his eyes wet with tears.</p><p>There was only one disappointing twist fo the benefit night for Baz&mdash;and that was the crowd.</p><p>The steel and aluminum strikes that have hit the citizens of the Smoky City where it hurts most&mdash;in the pocketbook&mdash;have put a crimp in any type of extra curricular activity or luxuries. Still paid attendance totalled 3,225.</p><h2><b>Everyone Paid</b></h2><p>All those participating&mdash;teams referees, timers, ushers, musicians in fact, everybody&mdash;not only donated their services but paid their way into the rink. Personal donations helped swell the proceeds. With federal and city taxes deducted, the net gate was $4,512.07. Donations brought the final total to $5,212.07 plus a $50 bond.</p><p>Bob Davidson and the Hornets wanted to win this game for Bax&mdash;but it didn&rsquo;t work out that way. Bodily contact was at a minimum and in the free-wheeling style of play, the Stanley Cup champs had too much class and experience.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<p class="dropcap"><span>P</span>ITTSBURGH, Pa.&mdash;Assurance that Baz Bastien will still have his place in hockey&mdash;and in tile Toronto-Pittsburgh organization&mdash;was given by Hornets General Manager Jim Balmer at the Benefit Gaine.</p><p>Balmer said that Baz will remain in the Pittsburgh setup as a scout and assistant coach under Bob Davidson.</p><p>&ldquo;All fans like a great competitor in any sport, whether friend or foe,&rdquo; said Balmer. &ldquo;Baz was one of the greatest competitors in the history of the Hornets.

O.M.H.A. Meet

<p>LOUISVILLE, Ky.&mdash;</p><p>The most comprehensive all-electric scoreboard, the most modern of its kind in the world, is hanging in the Jefferson County Armory in Louisville, Kentucky. The fans from the Blue Grass State will never have to worry about what period it is, how many minutes to go or who has a penaltv again, it&rsquo;s all on the modern &ldquo;Big Ben&rdquo;.</p><p>Everything about the new sports timepiece is big. Its size, its weight, the number of lights, the amount of wire and the most important of all, what it can do. And it can do just about everything but lace up the players skates.</p><p>The scoreboard, or more in keeping with its shape, the scorebox can be used to give time-toplay, period, score and assorted other information for every kind of event from wrestling on foot to speed on skates, more commonly known as hockey. In short, it does everything needed for an athletic event except peddle the hot dogs.</p><p>The topheavy box&mdash;it&rsquo;s 8 feet square at the bottom and 12 feet at the top. Its four sides, or faces, are 16 feet high and all show the same information.</p><h2><b>Has Everything</b></h2><p>Across the top of each face is a penalty indicator for use at hockey matches. This indicator includes panels which flash the number of players reposing in the penalty box. There also are four clocks on each fa.ce which show the time violators still have to stay in the box before being released.</p><p>Directly below that, in the center of the board, are the score indicators. The two blocks, for the scores of the home and visiting teams, are 20 inches wide and 16 inches high, large enough to be seen clarly from the darkest and most remote corner of the place. Between the score blocks is a period marker. The score indicators can be used for boxing matches, one to show the round number, the other the bout number.</p><p>The bottom third of the board is used to show the minutes and seconds left to go in a contest. These panels also are 20 x 16 inches in size.</p><p>Over the top of the scoreboard itself is a large, rotating square that will be used as a commercial billboard, or &ldquo;message&rdquo; panel, as the Armory management calls it.</p><h2><b>Weighs 4,500 Pounds</b></h2><p>Although the entire board is made of aluminium, except for the steel framework, it still weighs a whopping 4,500 pounds. It is suspended 22 feet above the floor from center girder of the building by steel cable. It is hoisted up and down by an electric winch which has a rated capacity of 10 tons. For wrestling or boxing matches, the conventional type of light reflector over the ring is fitted into the bottom of the board. The board contains over 12,000.feet of wire, 35 fuses and 2,225 7&frac12;-watt light bulbs. It is so wired that if any fuse blows out, only of the 64 separate banks of lights (16 on each of the four sides) will go out.</p><p>Everything about the board is done electrically. The operator will sit at the officials&rsquo; table and simply press buttons on two small boxes to change the various panels.</p><p>The board was built entirely by Armory workmen under the direction of Stan Weatherby, who is in charge of maintenance. He and Irving Wayne, manager of the place, visited arenas all over the country in picking up ideas to go into the board. Then Weatherby spent six weeks or so at his drawing board putting the plans down on paper. Work was started last March and has just been completed. Weatherby, who for 25 years has been with the Leo G. Seltzer organization, which operates the Armory, was assisted by Ray Edds, Louis Mangest and Archie Ray.</p><p>First use of the board wil come next Sunday, when the Louisville Blades open their hockey season against Omaha. The first basketball game will be October 19, when the Indianapolis Olympians, composed mainly of last year&rsquo;s University of Kentucky team meet the Tri-City Blackhawks.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

GLANCE TELLS ALL

<p>THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY WEEKLY</p><p>Founded October 1, 1947</p><p>Published by</p><p><b>Hockey News Company, 603A Sun Life Building.</b></p><p><b>Montreal. Que.</b></p><p>Yearly Subscription Price $2.50 in Canada&mdash;$3.60 In U.S.A.</p><p>Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa. Printed in Canada</p><p>Vol. 3 October 29, 1949 No. 4</p><p>Two more names have been written into the scroll of honor in the International Hockey Hall of Fame at Kingston, Ontario, bringing to a total of eighteen the number of the game&rsquo;s past greats who have been enshrined there.</p><p>Arthur Howey Ross and Donald &ldquo;Danny&rdquo; Bain are the latest two nominees voted a spot among hockey&rsquo;s immortals &mdash; the first so honored, incidentally, since 1947 when the last group made their way into the select circle.</p><p>Of the two most recently selected for the Hall of Fame, one name will strike a familiar chord, evoke nostalgic memories of the past. The other, by contrast, is virtually an unknown to present-day fans, although four decades ago he basked in the limelight of earlier-day hockey followers.</p><p>Arthur Ross needs no introduction to those who have even casually followed the great winter sport the past twenty or thirty years. First as a player, then later as a colorful, newsYnaking coach and manager, Art Ross has been a part of the game for more years than the young fry and We not-quite-so-young can remember.</p><p>Now Vice-President and General Manager of the Boston Bruins&mdash;the club with which he has been associated through his stormy petrel days and the quieter later years, &mdash; Art Ross has contributed greatly to the game.</p><p>In his younger, palmier days one of the most controversial figures in the sport, Ross is well remembered for his heated often bitter, feuds, with Toronto&rsquo;s Conn Smythe back in the golden twenties and thirties when the officials and executives weren&rsquo;t quite so well trained in the diplomatic school or as careful of one another&rsquo;s feelings as they are now.</p><p>The modern game of hockey as played today owes much to the same Art Ross. Despite his flamboyancy, his showmanship and his love of a good fight, Ross has always been an astute hockey man. His agile mind over the years has always been on the search for ways to improve the game, speed up the action and make it a more interesting sport for players and fans alike.</p><h2><b>HIS MANY CONTRIBUTIONS</b></h2><p>The nets as used today in the National Hockey League and virtually everywhere organized hockey is played were designed by Art Ross. There had been all sorts of confusion before that with the old square nets, with pucks bounding out and goals being bitterly disputed. So Ross designed the present net which, while not completely eliminating that old trouble, cut down on it immeasurably by snaring most of the pucks which rifled their way in.</p><p>He also improved the puck with which the game is played, devised the helmet protection for players after the near-fatal Ace Bailey incident, and made many other wise and timely contributions to the rules.</p><p>Ross was a referee in the N.H.L, when the late Charles Adams brought professional hockey to Boston. Adams took Ross along as manager-coach, and never once &ldquo;regretted it.</p><p>For under Ross, the Bruins became one of the great teams in hockey&mdash;studded with names like Shore and Thompson, Weiland and Gainor and the rest. They soared to the heights, stayed there as a ruling force in the sport until recent years when the sands ran out and they fell on evil days when wins were farther apart.</p><p>The choice of Art Ross to the Hall of Fame is truly an appropriate one. Whichever way you look at it, he deserves the honor. As a player he was one of the greatest of his time. As a referee he continued his contributions to hockey, and as manager, coach and executive he has helped the game grow immeasurably in stature.</p><p>By contrast, the choice of Danny Bain is apt to be overlooked, but in his own rights he was a great player of his time and deserving of the honor given him, even though it was, his misfortune to have played in bygone days which clothed him in obscurity.</p><p>He never played as a professional. His fates placed him in the days before the amateurs gave way before the pros, with all their attending publicity and glory, their adulation and their rich payoffs of recent years.</p><p>But as star center ice player and captain of the powerful Winnipeg Victorias back at the turn of the century, he was one of the greats of his day.</p><p>His selection is worthy because of the fact it helps maintain the balance between stars of more modern times and those of the dim distant past. And, after all, it&rsquo;s the function of the Hall of Fame to honor all those who have helped make hockey the great pastime it is&mdash;no matter in what era their names were known.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Happy Birthday to YOU

<div class="byline">By LEN BRAMSON</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Back during the roaring twenties and during the first half of the torrid thirties, sport the world over was enjoying a tremendous lift. During that time, sportswriters, the gifted magicians of the typewriter, named it, &ldquo;The Golden Era Of Sport.&rdquo; And they had reason to name it such, for Babe Ruth, baseball&rsquo;s Bambino, was then at the peak of his career and was blasting the ball into the bleachers with regularity. Not long after that the great Dizzy. Dean came to the fore as the I game&rsquo;s top pitcher. In football, Red Grange was the hero of the pigskin world and Knute Rockne was masterminding the great Notre Dame team. Earl Sande was booting home winners daily at the race track and Max Schmeling and Gene Tunney along with Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom were the tops in fistiana. Hockey, too, had it&rsquo;s top men. Morenz, Clancy and Neighbor to name a few.</p><h2><b>Maroons The Fashion</b></h2><p>Around that time the Red and White of the old Maroons was the fashion in Montreal. The kids of that time were in their glory if, come Christmas time, they were gifted with a Maroon&rsquo;s sweater with the number seven attached to the back. That was Hooley Smith&rsquo;s number, for in his day Hooley. was one of the most popular players ever to grace a hockey uniform. His fast skating, smooth stickhandling and yet rugged tactics on the ice somehow caught the fancy of Montreal fans and they soon came to look upon him as one of their own, even though he did come to them via Ottawa.</p><p>The Maroons of Hooley&rsquo;s day were a hard skating tough crew and according to the legend they drank and gambled perpetually Their rivalry was divided between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Canadiens and from all angles it was a rivalry to see, especially with the Leafs. Smith&rsquo;s battles with big Red Horner were and still are rated as the classics of all hockey battles.</p><p>But where is our man, today? You ask.</p><p>If you are ever in Montreal and should happen to pass by number 2545 St. James Street, don&rsquo;t be shy, just walk in and up one flight of stairs. As you enter you will come face to face with a picture of the Montreal Maroons of 1935. If you can remember back to those days, you may bow your head in rememberance, for that was a great club, with some great players. Ward, Gracie, Cain, Northcott, Conacher and of course Smith, Hooley Smith.</p><p>Some ten yards from the picture are a couple of desks and you notice two men sitting at work. As you move closer you begin to recognize one of the men as Hooley. But you stop for a moment and the great Maroons flash in front of you. You see Russ Blinco and Earl Robinson burning up the ice as they did some 15 years ago and you see Stew Evens and Cy Wentworth riding them to the boards as they did so many years ago. Then you look at Hooley and you say to yourself: &ldquo;Gosh, doesn&rsquo;t this guy ever intend to grow old?&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Looks Ready To Go</b></h2><p>At 46, Hooley looks as though he&rsquo;d be ready to step on the ice at a moments notice. He shows no signs of baldness, in fact you&rsquo;ll swear that he has more hair than when you saw him in action so many years ago. He weighs little more than when he clashed head on with Red Horner and his spirit well you&rsquo;d think it was just between seasons for him.</p><p>We asked Hooley if he ever got the urge to get back on the blades?</p><p>&ldquo;Now and again I do,&rdquo; he smiled, &ldquo;but I played my last game in 1941 and I&rsquo;ve only played one exhibition game since. That was in Ottawa two years ago. I haven&rsquo;t had skates on since then.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;You look in pretty good shape,&rdquo; we commented.</p><p>&ldquo;Give me three weeks and I&rsquo;d be in good enough shape to put the blades on again. I don&rsquo;t get much time for hockey now, I see most of the pro games, but I don&rsquo;t get time to go out to the rinks and show the kids. My business takes all of my time.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;d sure like to coach a junior club&rdquo;.</p><p>Hooley is not a millionaire today, but he&rsquo;s in good solid business. He&rsquo;ll never have to worry.</p><p>&ldquo;You can say that I own Smith&rsquo;s Sanitaries Limited,&rdquo; said Hooley. I manufacture soaps, wax, cleaner and all sanitary products. I sell to the consumer. I&rsquo;m lucky because just about anybody with a roof over their head is a potential customer for me. I sell to theatres, clubs, factories and stores and even in the homes.&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-0164/897655-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="276" height="627"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>HOOLEY SMITH</b></figcaption></div><p>Hooley has four men working for him today and a sales staff. He also does a lot of the selling himself.</p><p>&ldquo;Does your name help you in your business?&rdquo; we asked.</p><p>&ldquo;Your darn right it does,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;A lot of my customers are hockey fans and have seen me play. My name helps a lot.&rdquo;</p><p>Hooley started Smith&rsquo;s Sanitaries some nine years ago. Before that he owned a billiard room in downtown Montreal. However, not everything has been nice and rosy for Smith. Only a few months ago his plant burned down and he had to move to his present position.</p><p>&ldquo;How did you start Smith&rsquo;s Sanitaries?&rdquo; we asked.</p><h2><b>Just Thought of It</b></h2><p>&ldquo;Oh, I don&rsquo;t know,&rdquo; he replied, &ldquo;I just thought of it one day and the next day I was in business.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Did the money you earned from hockey help you get started?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;It sure did,&rdquo; said the ex-star. &ldquo;Hockey was good to me and if I had to do it all over again I&rsquo;d do it the same way.&rdquo;</p><p>We hit on the subject of big salaries and the way educationalist had recently blamed hockey executives for paying young boys big money, had taken out of school and away from home.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a funny thing,&rdquo; said Hooley, &ldquo;but if a kid couldn&rsquo;t play hockey and didn&rsquo;t have the money to go to college these men who are blasting hockey wouldn&rsquo;t worry or rush up and offer them an education. There are millions of kids who would like to go to college that haven&rsquo;t got the money. If their so intent on sending our boys to school why don&rsquo;t they pay their way. I know many kids who can&rsquo;t play hockey, but who&rsquo;d love a college education.</p><p>&ldquo;I believe that the smartest thing a kid can do today is sign a pro contract as soon as possible. If he hasn&rsquo;t got the money to go to college, he will have after he plays hockey for a while. He can use hockey to send him to school. An education is an important thing,&rdquo; said Smith, &ldquo;because, when you&rsquo;ve finished hockey, you&rsquo;re soon forgotten. You&rsquo;re on your own then.&rdquo;</p><p>We got around to talking about hockey today and the difference from yesteryear.</p><p>&ldquo;All the stickhandling and pokechecking has gone from hockey today,&rdquo; replied Smith. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t see many three man breaks now, it&rsquo;s mostly ganging hockey. Ninety percent of the goals are scored on scrambles. You don&rsquo;t see them picking the corners like we used to. I feel sorry for the defencemen of today. In my day the defence stayed on the blueline and when the forwards came at them they took them out. Today a forward shoots the puck in from center ice behind the defence and they have to whirl around and take the man out behind the nets. That type of hockey has taken all the bodychecking out of the game.&rdquo;</p><p>We asked if there were any players in the league today who would be stars in his day.</p><p>&ldquo;Sure,&rdquo; said Hooley, &ldquo;But a lot of them would be flops, too.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;How would Richard go in your day?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;d go in any game,&rdquo; said Hooley, &ldquo;he&rsquo;s a great player.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;And Reardon, what about Reardon. Does he remind you of your old pal Clancy?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Not too much. He&rsquo;s a, rushing defenceman like King. But, well, there will never be another Clancy.&rdquo;</p><p>Once we got on the subject of Clancy it was hard to drop and it wasn&rsquo;t long befdre the stories started.</p><h2><b>Remembers Clancy</b></h2><p>&ldquo;I remember when Clancy and I were with the Ottawa Senators in 1926. That was the greatest team I ever played with. We had Connell, Neighbor, Buck Boucher and many other greats. Anyway Clancy and I decided to borrow Dave Gill&rsquo;s and Frank Ahearn&rsquo;s fur coats. It was cold out and we were going to New York. Fur ceats were the fashion for men in those days and we wanted to look like big shots. Anyway we got to New York and to the hotel. We were going to parade up and down Broadway with them. Really show off. To cut a long story short, it rained the whole time we were there and we couldn&rsquo;t go out. All we had was the fur coats.</p><p>&ldquo;Clancy was and still is a great guy. And I believe him when he says he never won a fight in his life. He couldn&rsquo;t lick a postage stamp. He couldn&rsquo;t fight his way out of a wet paper bag.&rdquo;</p><p>Today Hooley still keeps in touch with many of his old buddies. When he&rsquo;s in Ottawa he always looks up Connell and the boys. In Toronto, Nels Stewart is Hooley&rsquo;s first port of call. &ldquo;We were brought up together,&rdquo; said Hooley.</p><p>&ldquo;What&rsquo;s the difference between hockey today and yesterday?&rdquo; we asked.</p><p>&ldquo;Well in my day Frank Ahern owned the Ottawa Senators, but to him it was just a hobby, today hockey is a million dollar business. That&rsquo;s the difference. I think too, that we had more fun in my time. With guys like Clancy and Connell we really had fun. Don&rsquo;t get the idea that all we did was drink and gamble. We had a lot of fun, but the guys I played with were nice guys and real gentlemen.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Hooley&rsquo;s AU Stars</b></h2><p>&ldquo;Who would you pick as your all time All-Star team?</p><p>&ldquo;Well, I&rsquo;d pick, Roy Worters in Goal with Eddie Shore and Herb Gardiner on defence. I&rsquo;d have Frank Neighbor at center with Dutch Gainer on left wing and Bill Cook on right wing.</p><p>&ldquo;On my second team I&rsquo;d pick. Tiny Thompson in goal with Lionel Hitchman and Buck Boucher on defence. On the forward line I&rsquo;d pick Howie Morenz at center with Charlie Conacher on right wing and Harvey &ldquo;Busher&rdquo; Jackson on left wing. As my all time coach, I&rsquo;d take that same T. P. Gorman. He couldn&rsquo;t show you what to do but boy he could make you feel like the best player in the league. Then you&rsquo;d get out there and really play hockey. Gorman knows how to inspire his men.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

St. Louis, Indianapolis and Cleveland got in, Pittsburgh was squeezed out, and Buffalo ate dust.</p><p>Providence, strolled home first In the East, Hershey won second easily, and Springfield overtook New Haven to win third. Philadelphia and Washington, dying clubs, finished nowhere.</p><p>What does the cloudy crystal ball promise this season?</p><h2><b>Predict Close Races</b></h2><p>Well, it says there&rsquo;ll be another four-way brawl in the West with newcomer Cincinnati inhaling the dust Buffalo breathed last time around.</p><p>In the East, the crystal ball shows no breeze for Providence, nor for Hershey. It Indicates a fourway fight which may rival the West&rsquo;s, with Springfield the lonesome fifth.</p><p>Providence and Hershey are standing pat with aging squads. New Haven, a young club a year ago, looks even younger. Buffalo, transferred from the Western Division, has submitted to transfusions of young blood, and has a much healthier complexion.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-0198/897693-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="140" height="230"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 140px"><b>Pat Lundy</b></figcaption></div><p>None of the four Western clubs which fought to the last night of the 1948-49 season has marked time. Experience has taught them that the only this certain in the West is that they can&rsquo;t be certain Of anything.</p><p>Inspection of the summaries of the A.L.&rsquo;s first games makes this rundown of the clubs possible:</p></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><h2><b>WESTERN DIVISION</b></h2><p><b>St. Louis</b>&mdash;To the team which won the division race last winter Coach Ebbie Goodfellow has added four veterans from the playerrich Detroit system, Defensemen Ed Nicholson and Frank Melong and Forwards Cliff Simpson and Fern Gauthier. His principal loss was Steve Black, a prolific left wing. The general opinion seems to be that the Flyers will be just about as strong as last year.</p><p><b>Indianapolis</b>&mdash;The Caps have added six newcomers, and trimmed their average age to the low 20&rsquo;s, with 25-year-old Centers Pat Lundy and Don Morrison the old men of the team.</p><p>Coach Ott Heller has gained Defenseman Clare Raglan, from Quebec Aces, a rookie-of-the-year prospect already: Center Jim Uniac and Right Wing Lyall Wiseman, from the Omaha farm; Left Wing Doug McKay, all the way from the &ldquo;amateur&rdquo; Windsor Spitfires; Right Wing Sam Mullholland, from folded Philadelphia, and Left Wing Marty Pavelich, crowded off the loaded Detroit roster, which he adorned a year ago.</p><p>The Caps look faster, and stronger defensively, with their offense the question-mark.</p><p><b>Cleveland</b>&mdash;The new owners and holdover Coach Bun Cook turned the Baron locker room inside out. The standing defense of a, year ago has been prodded into life with the arrival of Steve Kraftcheck, from San Francisco; Joe Conn, from Springfield, and Eddie Reigle, from Omaha.</p><p>Cleveland gave Pittsburgh Bob Solinger for Tod Sloan, Harry Taylor and Ray Ceresino in the A.L. deal which probably will cause the most conversation of the year. The Barons gained veteran Center Les Douglas from Buffalo and Goalkeeper Al Rollins from Kansas City.</p><p>They are reported not yet satisfied with themselves defensively, but the rest of the league is looking cautiously at the redecorating job and expecting nothing but trouble.</p><p><b>Pittsburgh</b>&mdash;In addition to Solinger, Pittsburgh also added Church Russell, the former New York Ranger forward, from Cleveland. Up came Andy Barbe from Los Angeles and Ray Hannigan from Toronto Marlboros seniors to reinforce the forwards.</p><p>It is behind the blue line that the Hornets have had to do their major repairing. No one expects Gil Mayer, from Barrie juniors, to completely replace Aldege Bastien, the league&rsquo;s best goalie since 19 46, and Pittsburgh will be happy if he does more than half the job.</p><p>Harry Psutka left another defense hole by turning to baseball, and Coach Bob Davidson had to round up three new defensemen. They are Tim Horton and Bob Robertson, from Marlboros, and John Arundel, from Sydney Millionaires. There was some Toronto talk about playing Horton up front to make him a faster defenseman for the National League, but that has died for the moment, at least.</p><p><b>Cincinnati</b>&mdash;Cincinnati has Gerry McNeil, the fine Montreal Royals goaler and a fervent player. Cincinnati is going to have all the troubles that any new team in a new town has.</p><p>Even so, one Western manager speaks for all when he says, &ldquo;Some of the boys are going to count on Cincinnati giving them a night off, and Cincinnati&rsquo;s gonna sneak in there and hurt a lot of us when we least expect it.&rdquo;</p><p><b>Providence</b>&mdash;The story goes that the Eastern Division, league and playoff champions are fat, complacent roosters. The Reds&rsquo; only new boy is Center Ken Davies from New Haven. It soon will be plain whether Providence is good enough to pass the offseason draw and beat the whole crowd again with the same hand.</p><p><b>Hershey</b>&mdash;Don Penniston took off into the new hockey year with old hands except for four players, all of them a long way on the trail. New Bears are Bill Moe, the former New York defenseman, Johnny Mahaffy, rescued from the sinking Philadelphia scow and the Porteous twins, Dan and Frank bought from Cleveland.</p><p><b>New Haven</b>&mdash;The New York farm hasn&rsquo;t given ground to Indianapolis in their contest to be the youngest club in the league. The Ramblers have taken on Ray Manson, from Tacoma; Fern Perresult, from Winnipeg, and West Trainor, from St. Paul by way of New York, up front. The only new defenseman is Jack Evans, from Lethbridge Native Sons.</p><p>The question about New Haven seems to be whether there is enough age and experience on the* club to keep it moving for 70 long games. A lot of owners and managers would like to be in this position, worrying about the youth of their employees, instead wondering how much longer some of their lads could cheat the rocking chair.</p><p><b>Springfield</b>&mdash;There are plenty of new faces with the Indians and with, their youth mixed with the vets they may go places.</p><p><b>Buffalo</b>&mdash;Cast adrift by Montreal, which rerouted its farmhands to Cincinnati, Buffalo was supposed to be hard up this year.</p><p>Hard up! Buffalo easily could be the A.L.&rsquo;s surprise team of the year. It depends on how well four new forwards stand up, and how well their older playmates backcheck that old guy carrying the scythe.</p><p>The Bisons have plucked Bob Thorpe from their pro chain, and Sid McNabney, Paul Meger and Gordon Pennell from Barrie Flyers. The defense is solidly veteran, and there&rsquo;s one old-timer line of Doug Lewis, Ab DeMarco and Murdo MacKay.</p><p>In the beginning, the Bisons looked like a typical Western Division team. If the kids prove themselves and the old men hold up, look out.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Wings Not Ready, Says Big Boss As He Shoulders All The Blame

<p><b>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;Eddie Joss, 17, is the latest youngster to earn the tag of a &ldquo;comer&rdquo; among Red Wing prospects.</b></p><p><b>Joss is one of the 17-year-olds brought down by Coach Tommy Ivan from the Wing&rsquo;s training camp at Saskatoon, Sask. When he didn&rsquo;t make Detroit&rsquo;s junior A Windsor Spitfires, he stayed to play in the local International League for Detroit Hettches.</b></p><p><b>Joss&rsquo; debut was brilliant.

Bass Eyes Joss

<div class="byline">By MARSHALL DANN</div><p>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Jack Stewart is one hockey player whose record is written both in the books and on his face. In each accounting Black Jack is tops.</p><p>He&rsquo;s the No. 1 defenseman in the National Hockey League today. No one can match the husky Red Wing&rsquo;s record of three appearances on the All Star first team plus two more on the second.</p><p>Such brilliance has made him a marked man for every rival. And calling Jack &ldquo;marked&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t just a fancy figure of speech. Take a peek at the doctored up cartoon, and you&rsquo;ll agree.</p><p>Twelve years of pro hockey campaigning has left Stewart handsomely hemstitched with permanent souvenirs. The score, before he body-checked his way into the 1949-50 season, listed 48 facial scars which required 201 stitches.</p><h2><b>Has No Challengers</b></h2><p>He&rsquo;s probably No. 1 in that department also, but in this case he doesn&rsquo;t have any envious challengers.</p><p>Stewart conies close to being the veteran of the N.H.L. Only Porky Dumart have been around longer. Even Sid Abel, the Wing&rsquo;s captain who is the butt of many &ldquo;old man&rdquo; jokes, must concede a year in seniority to the happy warrior from Pilot Mound, Man.</p><p>In that long spell in the big time, Stewart probably has dished out more real he-man body checks that any other player going. A rough, tough playmate, he has paid off for all those cuts, with interest.</p><p>Stewart&rsquo;s reward has been measured well by the fans. He gets cheers in Detroit, and the other kind elsewhere. The customers in Boston, Montreal, Chicago, Toronto and New York have tagged him as the most booed player in modern hockey.</p><h2><b>Jack Loves It!</b></h2><p>It&rsquo;s the kind of tribute Jack likes to hear. He knows he&rsquo;s not slipping.</p><p>Yet, among opposing players, Stewart is treated with respect. He has taught many the first axiom of N.H.L. play&mdash;keep your head up. Furthermore, Jack is known as the clean type of checker who likes to mix it legally. He does little outright fighting, considering it kid stuff, but has never been known to back awaj when trouble breaks.</p><p>Off the ice. Stewart is like most major leaguers&mdash;modest, quiet, reserved and peaceful. He likes to talk farming, hunting and harness racing. This year he also can discuss household problems, for Jack was married during the summer.</p><p>Stewart fills a key role with the Wings this season. With Bill Quackenbush gone, Jack stands as the bulwark of the defense. He can be teamed with anyone and offers an ideal partner to any player.</p><h2><b>They Aren&rsquo;t Sissies</b></h2><p>Stewart is so rugged that his teammates usually aren&rsquo;t pointed out for their smashing type of play. Yet, there&rsquo;s nothing soft about a crew like Leo Reise, Lee Fogolin, Clare Martin and Red Kelly. With the gang of wreckers around, the Wings are solid.</p><p>It&rsquo;s up front where the question marks are. Manager Jack Adams finally settled on keeping 12 forwards, four at each position. Coach Tommy Ivan has welded two top lines. Lindsay, Howe and Abel and Gee, Babando and Peters.</p><p>A third line also can be made up of veterans&mdash;Jim McFaddenJim Enio-Doc Couture. The three other forwards, Max McNab-Steve Black-Fred Glover, may work as a unit, but are more likely to fill in on the other lines.</p><p>When it came down to the final decision, there were two spots under question. Black and Enio were kept as left wings while Veteran Marty Pavelich was sent to Indianapolis for seasoning.</p><p>Max McNab was picked fro^Bu handful of center candidates, including Gerry Reid and Don Morrison.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Loop’s Old Man Puts Foot On Father Time

<div class="byline">By DAVE FARRELL</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>When he Boston Bruins sent five players to the Detroit Red Wings last August in exchange for Bill Quackenbush and Pete Horeck, there was considerable rejoicing throughout Boston, fandom.</p><p>For the Bruins&mdash;a team that has been notoriously weak on defense in recent years&mdash;had acquired the National Hockey League&rsquo;s number one defenseman in Quackenbush. Bill is no bully rearguard &mdash; as is attested by the fact that he win the Lady Byng Trophy last year&mdash;but he does turn in a very clever and capable game around the net.</p><p>However, little mention was made of Pete Horeck, the other player the Bruins acquired in the &ldquo;two for five&rdquo; deal that should benefit the Boston club.</p><p>Horeck was just a name to the majority of Bruins fans. They knew that he had been kicking around tire National Hockey League for the past half-dozen years, but that was the extent of their knowledge of him. &ldquo;Just along with Quackenbush for the ride,&rdquo; was the general consensus of opinion among the fans. Yet before the present season is over, Pete may become just as big a hit with Garden fans as Quackenbush is destined to be.</p><p>The 2 6-year-old veteran of five years in the National Hockey League has never set the loop afire in scoring. Nor has he ever made any outstanding contributions to hockey&rsquo;s record book.</p><p>Despite this lack-lustre hockey career, Horeck may some day attain N.H.L. stardom. A few breaks here and there and a lot of steady work are all he needs</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-0195/898073-1-eng-US/f0011-012.jpg" title="f0011-01" width="301" height="460"><figcaption class="caption-body">PETE HORECK</figcaption></div><h2><b>SPIRIT OF HUSTLE</b></h2><p>Pete is an aggressive forward in the true sense of the word. He&rsquo;s 100 per cent hustle whenever he&rsquo;s on the ice. It was his constant buzzing up and down the ice during games that caused his former Detroit teammates to nickname him &ldquo;Horeck-cane. &ldquo;</p><p>The diminutive forward never stood out with the Red Wings mainly because he was often used as a penalty killer. His speed and shiftiness made him a natural for this job. But you don&rsquo;t ecore goals when you&rsquo;re shorthanded and It&rsquo;s the fellow who puts the puck in the enemy net who gets the credit.</p><p>Horeck enjoyed his best years in the National Hockey League from 1944 to 1946. He was a 20-goal-a-year man during those two years with the Black Hawks. Two years ago he distinguished himself in the Stanley Cup Playoffs when he tapped all his mates in scoring with three goals and seven assists in the team&rsquo;s 10 games with the Rangers and Maple Leafs.</p><p>The shift to the Bruins may give Pete the lift he needs to rocket to hockey prominence. Coach George Boucher thinks the world of Horeck and is using him at right wing on a line with rookie Phil Maloney and Woody Dumart.</p><p>The Bruins first home game with the Rangers, Oct. 16 gave Hub fans a glimpse of the player they thought was &ldquo;along for the ride?&rsquo; He didn&rsquo;t do any scoring but he merged so well with the Bruins new youth movement which-is accenting speed that he can&rsquo;t help but become a hit with Bruins fandom.</p><p>BOSTON BUZZINGS &hellip;. The Bruins currently are carrying 10 forwards on their squad, only three of whom shoot from the right side. They are Ed Sandford, Johnny Peirson and Zellio Toppazzlni. The latter incidentally, played brilliantly, in the home opener against the Rangers&hellip; Phil Maloney seems destined to make the grade as a Bruin. The agile, whiffle-haired center has a style of play that closely resembles that of one of Boston&rsquo;s all-time great playmakers, Bill Cowley.</p><p>Bill Quackenbush makes no bones about the fact that the Red Wings pulled a fast one in trading him. Not that he doesn&rsquo;t like playing with the Bruins. He does, very much. But the deal was a complete surprise to him and he can-still see no reason why Jolly Jack peddled him. You can bet that when the Bruins and Wings meet this season, Quack will go all out to make Ivan & Co. regret the trade. Ivan himself has been quoted as saying that the loss of Bill will make the Detroit team 15 goals weaker this year.</p><p>Eddie Kryzanowski sported a brand new helmet in the game against the Rangers. That makes two helmet-headed defensemen on the Boston team&mdash;Jack Crawford being the other. Kryzanowski and his new bride have found a way to beat the housing shortage. They recently purchased a trailer which can be attached to their car and moved anywhere.</p><p>President Clarence Campbell presented Bill Quackenbush with the Lady Byng Trophy prior to the Ranger game. Following that presentation, he awarded popular Paul Ronty with the C. F. Adams Trophy for being the outstanding Bruin player in Boston home games last year. The winner of this trophy is selected annually by the fans themselves&hellip; Frank Ryan, the Bruins publicity director, has recovered from a heavy cold which attacked him two weeks ago.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

New Hendy Men

<div class="byline">By EDDIE COEN</div><p>CLEVELAND. 0.&mdash;</p><p>&ldquo;There 11 be no Jack Fox trophy winners on this club,&rdquo; says Jim Hendy, the general manager of the Cleveland Barons.</p><p>And to make sure that their boss knows that they fully understand the meaning of his statement, the Cleveland Barons are doing a right about face. They are becoming a rough and ready, hard hitting crew that doesn&rsquo;t look for trouble out on the ice sheet but is ready for everything and anything that the opposition may throw at them.</p><p>The Barons, always one of the big crowd drawers in the circuit, will be even more so with the type of club that has been assembled by the club&rsquo;s brass. The team is split exactly 50-50 there&rsquo;s 10 veterans and 10 newcomers.</p><h2><b>His Future Bright</b></h2><p>Heading the list of newcomers is Steve Kraftcheck, a 20-year-old 200 pounder up directly from the Baron&rsquo;s affiliate in San Francisco on the Pacific Cdast. Kraftcheck looks like one of the best prospects to home down the pike in years. He is a native of Hamilton, Ontario and if his play in the infant stages of the season means anything he should be one of the AHL&rsquo;s greatest blueliners.</p><p>Never one to back off from the rough going is the newcomer Eddie Reigle plucked front the Detroit chain. Reigle with Omaha for the past two seasons, while not big as defensemen come is a rough and ready type of boy. The third new blue liner is the left hook artist Joe Conn from Ctelgary. Conn has plenty of moxie and is a battering ram.</p><p>Holdovers from last year&rsquo;s club on the blue line are veterans Danny Sprout who has been named the team&rsquo;s captain, Hy Buller, allstar defenseman last year and the eye-glass wearing Tom Williams. Up front the Johnny Holota-Bobby Carse-Pete Leswick line is back for its fourth straigth season. A line that could easily steal their thunder is the unit made of Les Douglas, center, Roy Kelly, right wing, and Ken Schultz, left wing. This could be the Barons&rsquo; top goal-getting combination.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-0345/898135-1-eng-US/f0011-032.jpg" title="f0011-03" width="137" height="216"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 137px"><b>Pete Leswick</b></figcaption></div><p>Freddie Thurier, the old &ldquo;fox&rdquo; of the center ice patrol, is back at the old stand working with Steve Wochy, purchased from Philadelphia, and Tod Sloan, secured from Toronto-Pittsburg in the deal that sent Bobby Solinger to the Hornets.</p><p>The Barons are at the moment bothered with injuries to Harry Taylor, and Ray Ceresino both secured along with Sloan in the deal for Solinger. Al Rollins hockey&rsquo;s tallest goalie, who stands six feet two inches, is out with an ankle injury, while Neil Strin, a 23-year-old rookie left winger who was with San Francisco last season, is also on the sidelines with a rib injury.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

Hockey Network, with the AM and FM broadcasts being carried over a chain of stations that include WICA, AM & FM, Ashtabula; WHBC, AM & FM, Canton; WLEC, AM & FM, Sandusky; WEOL, AM & FM, Elyria; and WBBW, AM & FM, Youngstown.</p><p>Attending the meeting at which terms for the history-making broadcasts were arranged were Walter A.

Beer. It assures Northern Ohio sports fans of year-around sports thrills, with the hockey broadcasts completely filling the time between the end of the World Series and the start of another baseball campaign. Both baseball, as played by the Cleveland Indians, and football as played by the Cleveland Browns, are broadcast over a similar network, but this is the first season that the network also will be employed to give coverage to hockey.</p><p>The name of P.O.C. has come to be identified throughout the last several years with sports in Cleveland. For six seasons, the Pilsener Brewing Company has sponsored the broadcasts of Cleveland Barons&rsquo; games in the Arena over AM, and also has sponsored resumes of Cleveland games on the road.

International Hockey League Race Standing and Leading Scorers

<div class="byline">By BUNNY MORRANSON</div><p>TORONTO, Ont&mdash;</p><p>The OHA Senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; series, the grandmother of them all in Ontario, hockey circles has taken on a streamlined look with only four clubs to worry about this winter. Returning are Toronto Marlboros as defending champions; Kitchener-Waterloo&rsquo;s Flying Dutchmen and Owen Sound Mercurys. Marlies with Joe Primeau again supervising the coaching chores won their home opener at Toronto&rsquo;s Maple Leaf Gardens with a 7-1 decision over Owen Sound. Hamilton Tigers&rsquo; the &ldquo;grand old men of the Mountain&rdquo; have Bill Dinning back on the defense, after a year&rsquo;s absence when he performed for the Kitchener Dutchmen. Tigers, a bitter disappointment last season made a good strong move in recovering home fan support when they turned back Kitchener-Waterloo by a 8-1 score in their opening game.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-01102/898864-1-eng-US/f0016-012.jpg" title="f0016-01" width="155" height="216"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Pat Boehmer</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>Markle Returns</b></h2><p>Return of Jack Markle as coach for Owen Sound Mercurys is the only change in the OHA senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; master-minding department. Markle handled the Owen Sound Club at intervals before the entrance of Tommy Burlington last year.</p><p>Burlington, by the way, is sitting out his retirement stint at Owen Sound but there is a strong suspicion he&rsquo;ll again don the hockey war-paint before the first real frost hits the country side.</p><p>Waiter &ldquo;Punch&rdquo; Scherer is enjoying his second full term as the main holler guy for Kitchener&rsquo;s Dutchmen while the ever-green George Redding is once again biting his finger nails as the chief worrier for Hamilton Tigers.</p><p>The playing personnel of tne 4 surviving OHA senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; clubs has been shuffled around considerably.</p><h2><b>Boelinier Takes Over</b></h2><p>Toronto Marlies have Pat Boehmer in goal, replacing the sensational Howie Harvey who was obliged to retire from hockey this winter because of a skin infection. Truly a tough break for the clever young Montreal goalie who was destined to become Turk Broda&rsquo;s successor In the Maple Leafs&rsquo; nets, let alone take over the Pittsburgh chore after the unfortunate accident that cost Baz Bastien the loss of an eye and his hockey playing career. Boehmer kept out of hockey last winter after refusing to travel to Los Angeles when ordered by his Toronto Maple Leaf bosses. With Bastien and Harvey on the out list, the Leafs made hurried peace arrangements and the Kitchener lad, an important cog in his father&rsquo;s business, accepted and took over Howie Harvey&rsquo;s old job as goalie for the Marlies.</p><p>Marlies started off with a double-shuffle win, a feature retained in the OHA schedule whereas you play at home one night and back on your opponent&rsquo;s home ice the following evening. They followed up their home opening over the Mercurys in Owen Sound.</p><p>The ever-retiring Flash Hollett who retires from hockey every spring only to be the first out for fall practice chucked full of vim, vigor and body-checks, is again the key man on the Marlies defense. Flash has Hughie Bolton, junior ace of last season as a blue-line mate, while Bobby Gilhooly from Regina and Frankie Sullivan with Oshawa juniors last season, form the supporting twosome.</p><p>Six of last year&rsquo;s free-skating front line crew are back for another busy winter for Marlies with Johnny McCormack, Al Buchanan, Scotty Mair united as the number one punch line. Red Johnson, the smoothie from the Port Arthur-Fort William area, has lost none of his play making ability as centre-man for Marlies second line with Harvey McLelland and Chuck Blair as the wingmen.</p><p>Marlboros are blessed with a youthful third line, something which they lacked in their last two previous campaigns. Gordon Hannigan, and Don Rope are St. Michael&rsquo;s College junior grads who along with Bobby Hassard up from the Marlboro junior team of last season, give Coach Joe Primeau extra scoring and drive.</p><p>Although they scored but three goals in dropping their first two games to Marlboros. Mercurys of Owen Sound displayed better team spirit and should make for interesting competition especially, on their home ice. Jack Markle has rounded up a scrappy crew that should fight all the way.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Chicago Black Hawks Roster

<div class="byline">By VINCE LEAH</div><p>WINNIPEG, Man.</p><p>&mdash;Don&rsquo;t look now but isn&rsquo;t that Brandon Wheat Kings we notice as the Manitoba Junior Hockey league favorites? While they have been stripped of most of last year&rsquo;s stars who reached the national junior final before bowing to Montreal Royals, the Wheaties have rebuilt under a new coach, Les Cunningham, and Manitoba scribes have hastened to nominate the Wheat City squad as repeaters in this province.</p><p>To replace Ray Frederick, who is with Edmonton Flyers of the Western Senior league, the Wheaties purchased George Allard of Black Hawks who also received Larry Brethauer in the deal. Allard, who hails from The Pas, Man., showed brilliant form in the Wheaties&rsquo; pre-schedule trip to Port Arthur.</p><h2><b>Have Few Holdovers</b></h2><p>Other Brandon holdovers are Reg Abbott, Bob Chrystal, Alf Francis, Walter Pawlyshyn, Bill Allison, Bob Rezsnowski, Mike Durban, Gus Juckes, Brian Roche. Ron Rohmer, who hails from Ontario, is another acquisition. Rohmer was in these parts last season but got in too late to qualify under the residence rule and played with Dauphin Intermediates. Juvenile scoring champion Jim Young from Winnipeg Orioles and his old teammates, Dune McLennan, Bill Boone and Jim McGeorge also are in the Brandon camp as well as a flock of kids from rural points. As this was penned Coach Cunningham had 25 kids still on his roster.</p><p>Black Hawks are highly-favored this season after running last two times in a row. While they have sold Allard to Brandon, the Hawks have Brethauer and a flaxen-haired juvenile grad, Dickie Thompson for goal duty and a host of returnees on the blue-line, Red Shave, Gordon Lovell, Jack Bownass, Johnny Negladuik and Jim Nicol. Nick Hill from Port Arthur Bruins, Ron Barr, Vic Love, Eddie Peters, Ron Morlock, Buddy McCormick, Allan Phizacklea, Joe Reichart are front-liners. Barr, McCormick and Love are holdovers. The willowy Love might easily turn out to be the forward of the year in these parts.</p><p>Canadiens, under Coach Bob Kirk, have a sound defense but the attack is riddled with question marks and only Johnny Warren, Ron Castelane, Tom Bauhost and &ldquo;Joe Baron left from last year&rsquo;s attack. Newcomers are Jim Mackenzie, Len Sigurdson, Gerry Wilde (who got into two or three games last season), Gordon Kerr, Keith Taylor, from Portage la Prairie, Allan Van Bellenghem from Windsor, Ont., Mike Keating, Jack Thomas and Gordon Pankhurst are up for their first season of junior hockey.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-0339/898926-1-eng-US/f0016-032.jpg" title="f0016-03" width="295" height="835"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b><i>Takes Wheaties</i></b></p><p><b>LES CUNNINGHAM</b></p></figcaption></div><h2><b>Sure Big Leaguer</b></h2><p>The 16-year-old Pankhurst has been a standout in practises and is sure-fire big league timber. The defense has Gordon Morrison and Don, Lucyk back from last season, the Habs having allowed Laurie Thompson to join Lethbridge Native Sons. Bill Tibbs is in goal and Ron Robertson has arrived from Regina Pats to helig out on the blue-line. &lsquo;</p><p>Monarchs, at last reports, were still sifting through 40 candidates to rebuild a team hard bit by graduation. Only Charlie Lumsden, 200-pound hurricane on defense, and Jack Muir, Elliott Chorley, Laurie Mitchell, Lyold Ferguson and Joe Riley are two newcomers from juvenile hockey who have impressed. Bruce Belle, Bill Tishko, Johnny Novak and Al Adelman have gone well in workouts. They are all graduates from juvenile company.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By DENNIS CROW</div><p>MONTREAL. Que.&mdash;</p><p>The era of &ldquo;tense&rdquo; hockey in Quebec&rsquo;s Junior leaguebuilt up so painstakingly in the past three years and culminated by the winning of the Memorial Cup for the first time in history&mdash;has come to a sad end. Last week&rsquo;s report which boasted the J.A.H.A. as having a &ldquo;compact seven-team loop, one of the most balanced in the Dominion,&rdquo; is now but a dream of the past.</p><p>For in one of the most dramatic moves ever recorded in the oldest organized hockey league in the world, six members of the Memorial Cup champion Montreal Royals were plucked from that club in a one-way switch designed to pack Montreal Nationale. In that way it is hoped to keep the junior world championship in Canada&rsquo;s metropolis.</p><p>Defensemen Vic Fildes and Rol-,lie Rousseau, and forwards Matt Benoit, Neil Langill and Skippy Burchell, all were given to Butch Bouchard&rsquo;s hfats without obligation. Royals were forced to cancel a mid-week game because they couldn&rsquo;t ice a team from &ldquo;B&rdquo; and Juvenile players left at their command. In addition, starry Royal Dickie Moore was released to Canadieus.</p><p>So now a power-packed Nationale club faces the rest of the league that has only a fairly-strong Quebec Citadel club to oppose them, fair-to-middling Montreal Canadiens and Three Rivers Reds, and greatly outclassed Royals, Verdun Leafs and Valleyfield Braves in the seven-team league. In their first outing with these new stars, Nationale defeated Quebec 4-2 at the Montreal Forum. and strangely enough, all four goals were scored by bonafide Nationale men, signed at the beginning of the season.</p><p>There are two reactions to the move. One says that the packing of one club is a practical idea, certainly nothing new if one remembers the teams out of Oshawa and Toronto in recent years. The other, more local, says that the move disrupts the entire league, lowers attendance until the finals. This year the Memorial Cup finals will be held in the East, probably Montreal.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0018-0189/899179-1-eng-US/f0018-012.jpg" title="f0018-01" width="268" height="549"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b><i>Kidnapped!</i></b></p><p><b>DICKIE MOORE (top) and VIC FILDES</b></p></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

All he cared about was his job&mdash;and he gave of his utmost to it. He didn&rsquo;t care about fame for himself, but preferred to shower all the praise and credit on &ldquo;my kids&rdquo; as he chose to call his devoted little band of puckchasers.</p><p>Millar played for Ottawa Primroses when they won the junior hockey championship of Eastern Canada in 1931, and first drew<sup>1</sup> the atention of Montreal fans when he played center for Ottawa Senators when that club first entered the Quebec Senior Hockey League in 1934.</p><p>He never weighed more than 135 pounds, and was a lightweight in the bruising brand of senior hockey played in that loop. But Millar made up in skill and speed, sportsmanship and &ldquo;heart&rdquo; what he lacked in sheer bulk.</p><p>In the 1935-36 season he was awarded the Ken Stewart Trophy as the most valuable player to his team.</p><p>When he first came to Montreal he played and coached Lachine teams in the old Provincial League and during the war played for a time with senior Royals. After he was through as an active player he coached Junior B squads for a few seasons, before taking over the helm of the junior Royals two years ago.</p><p>As coach he had none of the &ldquo;holler manner&rdquo; in directing his charges. Rather he sought by quiet persuasion to impart his ideas. He stressed the point of gentlemanly conduct both on and off the ice.</p><p>&ldquo;Act like a champion and you&rsquo;ll be a champion&rdquo; was a slogan he adopted frequently. He was employed the past 11 years by the Dominion Bridge Company in the purchasing department.</p><p>Since living in the Montreal area he resided mostly at Lachine. Surviving are his wife the former Mary Elizabeth McGowan, two children, Jimmy, eight and Betty, four; his parents Mr. and Mrs. James Millar of Ottawa; and two brothers, Earl of Ottawa, and Jack of Montreal.</p><p>He was buried at Ottawa, the city he came from to carve such a briefly-brilliant career.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>
