Ex-Pros Dot Eastern Loop — Rated Dark Horse In Cup Hunt
NORTH BAY, Ont.— Hockey experts around these parts rate the Eastern Canada Hockey League a great deal stronger than it is given credit for being. They claim that the eventual E.C.H.L. winner will cause plenty of trouble when the Allan Cup playdowns roll around in the spring.

Toronto, Chi. and Rangers Hint Deals On The Fire
CHICAGO, Ill.— There is a current rumor in the National Hockey League that the Chicago Black Hawks and the New York Rangers and tire Toronto Maple Leafs are about to pull off a trade. Just how much truth there is to the rumors is not known. One of the stories came out of New York while the other originated in Toronto, so far there has been no comment from the vicinity of Chicago. The trade between the Hawks and Rangers is said to concern a defenseman, probably Jack Lancien or Freddie Shero but who Bill Tobin is said to be giving up is not known. The Rangers are now overflowing with rearguards and have no less than seven parading their bench. Now Lynn Patrick is looking for some scoring punch and may…
