SON SAVES FATHER IN STORMY BAY OF FUNDY

<div class="byline">By LLOYD SAUNDERS</div><p>REGINA, Sask.&mdash;</p><p>No matter where one goes these spring days, the subject of hockey playoffs, team chances, player moves, rumors and what have you concerning Canada&rsquo;s National game, seem to crop up. The oldtimers like to recall the days when they were young; the style of hockey in vogue at that time of the 20th Century; the seven-man hockey; the stickhandling wizardry; the rugged bodychecks handed out by the Johnsons, Clancys and Shores. They are firmly convinced that the present-day hockey is a nightmare: That it looks more like a football match than hockey.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-01159/1086511-1-eng-US/f0010-012.jpg" title="f0010-01" width="282" height="450"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Tony Leswick</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-02126/1086504-1-eng-US/f0010-022.jpg" title="f0010-02" width="269" height="399"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Chuck Rayner</b></figcaption></div><p>Sportswriters across the country have voiced their disapproval at, this cynical attitude of the veterans. One writer was heard to remark after a game recently, o&lsquo;As far as I&rsquo;m concerned, hockey today is the best I&rsquo;ve ever seen. It&rsquo;s possibly on the scrambly side, players bunch too much, and the red line has confused many of the fans; but I&rsquo;ve watched the old brand, and I&rsquo;m convinced you couldn&rsquo;t draw flies with it today.&rdquo;</p><p>Just as this critic had finished his remark, a slight, lean-faced gent interrupted us to remark, &ldquo;I believe you&rsquo;re right. I think our hockey today is okay.&rdquo;</p><p>On turning I noticed our third speaker was Johnny Walker, one of the most travelled gents in the game. Coming from Walker, we thought this statement rather surprising.</p><p>Although on the modest side, Walker is quick to point out that he ranks close to the top for the title of &ldquo;hockey&rsquo;s most travelled manager&rdquo;. When you look over his career, cheek into his miles spent at sea, in the air and on land, have to admit that he has something. He&rsquo;s been to Europe, to Japan, to the United States, in fact to almost every point of call in this old earth of ours.</p><p>Johnny Walker is truly a westener. He was born in Wolsley, a small Saskatchewan town, that had hockey as one its chief sources of winter entertainment. Like all boys of his age, Johnny took to the blades early and played all his hockey in that town. In fact the only organized hockey he playerner. He was born in Wolsley, Walker&rsquo;s birth date is December 17, 1897, which makes him 52 years of age, although his appearance is that of a much younger man. Walker moved to Saskatoon in 1918 and has made his home there ever since.</p><h2><b>Helps Start Quakers</b></h2><p>Johnny first became connected with hockey in the 1928 when the Saskatoon Quakers, a famous name in hockey, were organized at one time or another. When the professional Sheiks were in their hey dey, players like Aurel Joliat, Newsy Lalonde, George Hainsworth, Bill and Bun Cook, all played in Saskatoon livery. Bert Scharfe, Ray Watkins, Hobb Wilson and Toad Klein were original members of the Quaker clan. Walker managed the Saskatoon team until 1934, and climaxed his association with the club with a trip to Europe, where his Quakers won the Amateur Hockey Championship of the World, and received nation wide recognition.</p><p>The next year Leo Bishop, a floud mill owner, organized a club in his town of Eattleford, a little town across the river from North Battleford. Leo secured several well-known players and set sail for Japan. The manager of the club was the same Johnny Walker. The only man still actively playing who made the trip with the Millers to Japan is lanky Doug Cairns, now with the Calgary Stampeders.</p><p>After his trip to Japan, Johnny settled down to his job with the railway, and left hockey alone for a couple of years. In 1937 Mervyn (Red) Dutton signed Walker as a scout for his New York Americans, and kept him in the employ of the Amerks until they disbanded at the start of the Second World War.</p><p>Among the players signed by Walker are a few listed below. Three National League players are Harry Watson, Chuck Rayner and Tony Leswick; in the American League Les Hickey and Hugh Currie of Buffalo, Keith Allen and Otto Schmidt of Springfield, Bob Dawes, a former Leaf now with Cleveland Barons, Eddie Kobussen with Pittsburgh, and Orval Lavell of New Haven; In the United States League Walker first signed Bus Fycherley and Ray Powell of Kansas City.</p><p>Out on the Pacific coast you&rsquo;ll find many players who signed their pro tryout froms with Johnny Walker. Fred Weaver, Stan and Bill Jones of San Diego, Wimpy Jones Vancouver, Ken Ulyot New Westminster. Pete Kalapaca Seattle, and Bill Jenkins Tacoma.</p><h2><b>When He Took Cooks Tour</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-03106/1086497-1-eng-US/f0010-032.jpg" title="f0010-03" width="1740" height="996"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>WAY BACK IN 1934 Johnny Walker took his Saskatoon Quakers across to Europe and brought home the World&rsquo;s Amateur Hockey Championship.

Under orders to cheek Maurice Richard closely, last year&rsquo;s Calder Trophy winner did a terrific job of shadowing the best scoring forward in the N.H.L &hellip; As a matter of fact the line of Raleigh-Slowinski-Lund was the best trio on the ice. The slender Raleigh (150 pounds on a 5&rsquo;11&rdquo; frame) played one of his best games since he entered the National League. He was all-over the ice, checked tenaciously at all times, and scored the initial New York goal &hellip; Charlie Rayner made two of the most spectacular saves we&rsquo;re seen all season in the opening contest. On one he went far to his left to make a sensational one-handed stab on a blistering drive by Maurice Richard. Rayner came up with another clever stop on Richard in the third period when the &ldquo;Rocket&rdquo; was in the clear and had a shot dead on the net. Last time the Rangers met Canadiens in Stanley play was in 1935 when the New Yorkers bowed to the Montrealers in the second round. It was a two-game total goals series, with Montreal winning six goals to five &hellip; The two teams met three other times in Stanley Cup play. In i933 the Rangers won in the second round in 1932 they triumphed ii) the first round.

Birthday Jinx Hits Cord, Ken

<div class="byline">By LEN BRAMSON</div><p>MONTREAL. Que.&mdash;</p><p>When the Montreal Canadiens went into the 1949-50 playoffs Coach Dick Irvin announced that he&rsquo;d never before had a team with so many doubtfuls in the lineup. &ldquo;Harmon&rsquo;s limping, Bouchard has a groin injury, Reay can&rsquo;t walk, Riopelle has a bad ankle and Laycoe has a broken nose,&rdquo; said Irvin, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never had so many doubtfuls on one team before In my life.&rdquo;</p><p>Now Irvin can add Reardon to that list and not under the heading of &ldquo;doubtfuls&rdquo; either. He is now listed under the &ldquo;finished&rdquo; for the season heading. Until a few days ago Bashin&rsquo; Kenny was resting peacefully in room 839 in the Western General Hospital just across the square from the Forum. His left shoulder is tightly taped and he&rsquo;s changed his sharp Mont real Canadiens uniform for a pair of blue and white spotted pyjamas.</p><p>Kenny&rsquo;s left shoulder, the same one which has given him so much trouble in the past is dislocated and swollen to the size of a well blown up balloon.</p><p>&ldquo;It never fails,&rdquo; said Ken as we chatted at his bedside, &ldquo;the first season I was in the playoffs I was over here after the first game with a very bad charley-horse. The second season I messed up my right wrist in the playoffs.</p><p>And in the third season I played with my big Toe all but cut off. Last season I played in them with a broken shoulder blade.</p><p>&ldquo;I Wonder if I&rsquo;ll ever go through them without injury.&rdquo; he laughed.</p><p>The heartbreaking fact about Reardon&rsquo;s latest injury is that it happened with just ten seconds to go in the game. Reardon does not blame anybody for the accident, in fact, he doesn&rsquo;t even know who did it.</p><p>&ldquo;We had the power on,&rdquo; said Reardon, &ldquo;and the puck went back to Harmon. He shot and I was standing right in front of Rayner. I tipped the puck with my stick and it just missed the net and the darn thing went into the corner.</p><p>&ldquo;I knew there was only about 15 seconds to go in the game and I started into the corner. My legs were apart and I was going to scoop the puck between them out to the front of the net.</p><p>&ldquo;I had my eyes on the puck all the time and I was loose and whirling. Just as I went to scoop the puck between my legs somebody shoved me from behind. I was off balance and as I went into the boards I pushed out the flat of my glove against the glass. I guess the force of the shove dislocated my shoulder.&rdquo;</p><p>Reardon was on the ice for quite some time before he was taken away on a stretcher.</p><p>&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t warn to go out that way,&rdquo; said the burly rearguard. &ldquo;When I went down I knew there was only a few seconds to go in the game and when they went to pick me up I told them to leave me alone for a few minutes so I could take a rest and then I&rsquo;d get up on my own.</p><p>&ldquo;My leg was curled up and my arm was the same way. When I went to straighten out the leg I could feel the muscles pulling and my arm was numb, I thought it was broken across the bottom of the shoulder.&rdquo;</p><p>Reardon&rsquo;s left shoulder has caused him plenty of trouble since he started playing hockey. He&rsquo;s had it broken and dislocated so many times that it, has become more or less routine business for the doctors to fix it up.</p><p>&ldquo;I really howled when they put it back in place this time,&rdquo; said Ken.</p><p>&ldquo;They put me on the steel x-ray table and somebody put a towel under and over my shoulder.</p><p>&ldquo;Then one little guy grabbed the two ends of the towel, shoved his foot in my back and started tugging. While he was doing that someone else grabbed my arm and started pushing it back, anti-clockwise. It really hurt.</p><p>&ldquo;Anyway, I kept slipping off the steel table, so they took me over to one with a cloth top. The interns were too small to put the shoulder back In place so they called In a bigger one. It didn&rsquo;t take long after that. I could feel the bone going back into place.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Sidelined</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0182/1085782-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="520" height="837"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>KEN REARDON</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>All &mdash; Set</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0272/1085775-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="532" height="941"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>HAL LAYCOE</b></figcaption></div><p><b>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</b></p><p><b>Ken Reardon of the Montreal Canadiens and Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings didn&rsquo;t get too many nice birthday presents tills year.</b></p><p><b>Howe celebrated his 21st birthday, March 31 in Harper Hospital in Detroit where he is recovering from a broken nose and concussion after crashing into the boards in the first playoff game in Detroit.</b></p><p><b>Reardon celebrated his 29tli birthday on April 1st, April Fools Day, in the Western General Hospital in Montreal where he is having a badly dislocated shoulder fixed up.

IRVIN’S DOUBTFULS LONG LIST-REARDON LATEST AS SHOULDER IS DISLOCATED

<p>NEW YORK. N. Y.&mdash;</p><p>The American Hockey League Rookie of the Year, picked by the ten league coaches is Paul Meger, young left wing star of the the Buffalo Bisons. The flashy fast skating Meger, who had already been chosen by the members of the press and radio for the second All Star Team thus becomes the winner of the Dudley &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Garrett Memorial Trophy and will receive a league bonus of $300., in addition. Having already gathered in $200., for his all star selection, Meger has reaped a financial reward of $500 for his brilliant first year play in the circuit.</p><p>Each of the ten coaches selected three players, giving five points for their ton choice three for second and one for third They were not permitted to vote for a player of their own team. Thus a possible 45 points could be amassed by a selectee, and Meger far outshadowed his competitors by having 36 points. His closest rival was Kelvin Burnett of Springfield who had 14 points and the third choice was Ray Hannigan of Pittsburgh with 12. The Bison star received the nod from six coaches for their first choice, two placed him second while one of the mentors did not rate him at all. Burnett had one first, two seconds and three thirds while all of Hannigan&rsquo;s points came from four second selections. The remaining first place votes went to Ed Reigle of Cleveland, Tim Horton of Pittsburgh and Gil Dube of Cincinnati. Altogether, 10 players were considered in the voting, Gordon Pennell of Buffalo, Gerry McNeil of Cincinnati, Orval Lavell of New Haven and Clare Raglan of Indianapolis also receiving votes in addition to the six mentioned.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0367/1085841-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="368" height="369"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>RAY HANNIGAN</b></figcaption></div><p>That the season long play of Meger was brilliant and outstanding and drew the attention of everyone, is evidenced by the fact that he was chosen for his two honors by two different groups of voters.

His coach, Leroy Goldsworthy, uses him as a penalty killer because of his speed and deftness in stickhandling and guarding. He played an outstanding game from the very start of the season, and around the first of the year, when the line of Meger, Ab DeMarco and Nobby Warwick was formed, he became an important part of one of the most feared trios in the league because of their scoring ability. By a strange coincidence, two years ago, when Ab DeMarco was centering for Cleveland, the rookie winner was Bobby Solinger. What with setting up the plays for two rookie winners in three seasons, DeMarco could very well be nicknamed &ldquo;a developer of rookies&rdquo;.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0538/1085827-1-eng-US/f0002-052.jpg" title="f0002-05" width="258" height="419"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Clare Raglan</b></figcaption></div><p>Meger had a number of outstanding scoring feats to his credit during the season.

Prexy Gives Kennedy Clean Bill

<p>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Warming words of Gordie Howe&rsquo;s recovery came from the person most concerned &mdash; Gordie&rsquo;s mother. Mrs. A. C. Howe and Gordie&rsquo;s sister, Mrs. Gladys Lyell, flew from the family home at Saskatoon, Sask., to be at the bedside of the injured Red Wing star. Howe was hurt seriously In the opening game of the Detroit-Toronto semi-final series.</p><p>&ldquo;He seemed just like my old Gordie,&rdquo; were Mrs. Howe&rsquo;s first words when she told about her rush visit to Harper Hospital.</p><p>When she walked into Howe&rsquo;s room, it was a complete surprise to Gordie, because he had not been told his closest relatives were coming down because of his critical condition.</p><p>&ldquo;Why, mom, what are you doing here?&rdquo; were Howe&rsquo;s words when she stepped to his bedside.</p><p>&ldquo;He seemed real cheerful and alert, and was so very pleased that I had come,&rdquo; Mrs. Howe said.</p><p>&ldquo;He told me that he had got out of bed for a few minutes Thursday morning (about 36 hours after the accident), and that he was feeling fine except for a headache. His eyes were sore and bandaged, and they kept the room darkened so light would not hurt his eyes.</p><h2><b>Fly From Saskatoon</b></h2><p>Mrs. Howe and her daughter flew from Saskatoon to Detroit by W&rsquo;ay of Toronto. The last part of the ride was a trifle bumpy and she had to rest in her hotel room in Detroit for an hour before making the hospital visit.</p><p>Their future plans aren&rsquo;t definite, but both plan to spend a few days here to visit Howe. Joining them is Gordie&rsquo;s younger brother, Vic, who played on the Wings&rsquo; amateur farm club at Windsor.</p><p>Official hospital reports also pointed up Howe&rsquo;s recovery.</p><p>&ldquo;Howe is slightly better and his progress is satisfactory,&rdquo; Dr. C. L. Tomsu, the team physician, stated in a routine report Thursday night.</p><p>Howe&rsquo;s full injuries were a fractured nose, a brain concussion and facial lacerations. Disproved were earlier reports that he had a fractured skull, a fractured cheek-bone and a serious eye injury.</p><p>A delicate brain operation was performed three hours after the injury to relieve pressure on the brain. Recovery from the surgery is expected to take at least a month,, and he will remain in the hospital for at least two or three weeks.</p><p>While he is lost to the Red Wings for the remainder of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Howe definitely is expected to be able to play again next season.</p><h2><b><i>Happier Times</i></b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0516/1085924-1-eng-US/f0003-052.jpg" title="f0003-05" width="556" height="1041"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>&hellip;typical rushing play</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>Before Fate Stepped In</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0425/1085917-1-eng-US/f0003-042.jpg" title="f0003-04" width="1692" height="1321"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>HERE&rsquo;S BRILLIANT GORDIE HOWE swooping in on Toronto Goalie Turk Broda in the early part of that fateful game, before he was sidelined with a critical injury.</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Cord Cheers Up As Mom Visits Him In Hospital

<div class="byline">By MARSHALL DANN</div><p>DETROIT. Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Call it a jinx &mdash; Call it what you may. But, something keeps happening to Detroit Red Wings come playoff time every spring. This time it was a key injury. One swift play that erased Gordie Howe from the lineup turned Detroit from a favorite into a distinct underdog in the&rsquo; 1950 Stanley Cup playoffs.</p><p>Howe was seriously injured in the opening game of the Detroit-Toronto semifinal. He Was hurt when he crashed into the boards trying to check Ted Kennedy or 2 &mdash; was butt-ended by Kennedy &mdash; all depending on which version you ascribe to.</p><p>The star right winger &mdash; second in the National Hockey League in goal scoring &mdash; was rushed to hospital for a delicate brain operation. For a while, it was feared he might never play hockey again. Later developments indicated that he probably would be all right within a few weeks.</p><h2><b>Double Trouble</b></h2><p>Howe&rsquo;s loss was a double blow to the Wings, who already had received one solid smash by dropping the opener to the Maple Leafs, 5-0. His injury had nothing to do with that reversal &mdash; it came while Detroit trailed, 4 to 0.</p><p>The accident sent Wings reeling. Their spirits dropped to an absolute low when the popular youngster was wheeled away on a stretcher to a Detroit hospital. Forgotten was the loss of a game. Gordie&rsquo;s injury struck every player to their heart.</p><p>Detroit strategy was to keep the team in Toledo, Ohio, 55 miles away, during the playoffs. The squad slumped in silence for the one-hour bus ride to their Toledo hotel. A vigil was kept in the hotel lobby until 2 a.m. when word was telephoned from Detroit that Howe had undergone his operation successfully.</p><p>Coach Tommy Ivan later described that night by saying &ldquo;we were one sick bunch all the way to Toledo. I&rsquo;ve never seen any of the boys that low before. Until we learned that Gordie would be OK there wasn&rsquo;t one of us who even thought about going to bed.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Mental Drawback</b></h2><p>Licking such mental depression was only half of Ivan&rsquo;s job after Howe was hurt. He also had the job of coming up with a player to fill in on the Wings&rsquo; potent Production Line. Teaming with Sid Abel and Ted Lindsay, Howe had been the top scorer with his 35 goals in that unit.</p><p>Granted that no one actually could take Howe&rsquo;s place in that trio, Ivan still had to fill the position. Help was available only from the regular roster, for both the Indianapolis and Omaha farm clubs were engaged in playoffs in their own leagues.</p><p>Of the three right wings available, Joe Carveth loomed as he likely choice. He was a spot player on the roster, working with regular line. To pick Doc Couture or Jimmy Peters would break up another line.</p><p>Regardless of the solution, the zest and glamor was gone from the playoffs for the Wings.</p><p>In the opening game the Leafs caught that spring fever that has hit them the last three seasons. They played inspired hockey to give Detroit its most severe and decisive beating this season. Toronto was a team on fire after the first period, banging home three goals in the middle stanza and two more in the finale.</p><p>Even the most loyal Detroit fan had to concede on the play of that night that the Leafs had all the appearance of a team about to win its fourth straight Stanley Cup.</p><p>Joe Klukay connected for two goals, while Bill Barilko, John McCormack and Cal Gardner hit once each. If stars were awarded for the overall play they should have gone to Barilko, Goalie Turk Broda and Vic Lynn, in that order.</p><p>Broda was grand in his shutout but by the notes of the statistician, had to work hard on only three of his 20 saves. But, all three of those came in the first period while the game was scoreless. For an elderly 35, Broda still owned a magic all of his own at playoff time.</p><p>Losing to Toronto in a playoff contest, while an upset on form, was no novelty to Detroit. The Leafs have been able to snap handcuffs on the Wings securely when it comes to these spring carnivals.</p><p>That was the TWELFTH straight victory scored over Detroit in playoff action. There were four in the finals last year, four in the finals the season before, and three straight to end up the semifinals of 1947.</p><p>It kept one Detroit record alive &mdash; that of not having beaten Toronto in playoff action since Mar. 29, 1947. That was in Toronto. Detroit hadn&rsquo;t won a game on home Olympia ice since April 19, 1945, until they took the second contest in this year&rsquo;s series last Thursday.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Detroit blamed Toronto&rsquo;s Ted Lindsay for deliberately butt-ending Howe, while the Leafs countered with the assertion that the injury resulted after Howe crashed into the boards while trying to check the Toronto player. That latter version was upheld by the League President, Clarence Campbell, after comparing notes with game officials and calling on his own observation of the incident as a spectator in the rink that night.</p><p>That ruling seems to have disposed effectively of the disputed play, but unfortunately the damage was done be for hand, and the bitterness lingered on. Matters weren&rsquo;t helped any, either, by the threats of reprisals, the cries of &ldquo;grudge series&rdquo; and the rest of the invitations to blood-letting which were released both in print and over the air. The problem became so acute that special warnings had to be issued from the N.H.L. office to players participating in the series, and an extra &ldquo;stand-by&rdquo; official empowered to help the referee for the Detroit-Toronto games keep matters in hand.</p><p>If this happened to be only an isolated instance, perhaps an excuse could be found in the fact that the playoffs are serious business to the competing teams, that tempers naturally run higher under the strain of championship play, and that flareups are only natural. But unfortunately, rough play is becoming the rule rather than the exception. Cries of &ldquo;grudge&rdquo; and &ldquo;revenge&rdquo; may attract some bloodthirsty fans to the rinks, but there&rsquo;s room to wonder whether this actually sits well with the average, decent fan.</p><h2><b>DOESN&rsquo;T HELP GAME ANY</b></h2><p>It has a further harmful effect in that it keeps the players in an aggrieved frame of mind, and makes them think that perhaps they will be letting the customers down if they don&rsquo;t pull off the advertised fireworks. The resulting spectacle isn&rsquo;t any credit to either the game or the players involved.</p><p>Sometimes it gets to the point where &ldquo;playing the man&rdquo; instead of the puck become of paramount importance, and the settling of grievances on the ice seems to be the main interest with some players. It makes the sober fan wonder sometimes just where it&rsquo;s all going to end. It doesn&rsquo;t seem smart to wait until a fatality occurs to shock the entire hockey world into taking drastic action.</p><p>Some plain common sense is certainly needed to put hockey back on the plane where it belongs. In no other sport, with the possible exception of wrestling, is the accent placed so strongly on grudge matches and the settling of scores. And when hockey resorts to the same tactics as wrestling to attract fans&mdash;it isn&rsquo;t possible to go much lower.</p><p>Hockey, admittedly, is a hard game full of bodily contacts&mdash;a sport for the most virile. But no matter how you look at it, there&rsquo;s no excuse for rough, illegal play and the attend ant danger of unnecessary injuries. Played as it should be, using only the legal checks permitted under the code of the game, hockey can supply action and thrills enough to please the most rabid fans. Rough play doesn&rsquo;t add one iota to those thrills. In fact, in the long run, it slows the game down to a walk by excessive whistle blowing and endless parades to the penalty boxes, futile arguing over every decision and all the rest which has become only too familiar in recent times.</p><p>Just where the fault lies is hard to say. It&rsquo;s partly with the players, who see every one else doing it and hop on the bandwagon. The fault may also lie with some of the Coaches, who if they don&rsquo;t encourage the prevalent roughness, at least condone it or look the other way. And it lies partly with those who fan the flames with cries of &ldquo;grudge series&rdquo;.</p><p>All concerned need to stop and take a good look at the direction in which they&rsquo;re headed. Hockey is too grand a game to let it deteriorate into Gashouse Gang shinny. Let&rsquo;s have the game decided on the relative excellence of the two teams concerned, rather than on their ability to swing sticks higher than the opponents, to use the most sneakily-effective buttending technique, to get back at Joe Blow for his dirty piece of work last week.</p><p>Let&rsquo;s have a little common sense, before hockey degenerates into a brawling, scrabbling spectacle from which decent fans will turn in disgust. Keep it a tough and he-man sport of action and speed, by all means, but above all else for the love of sport&mdash;KEEP IT CLEAN!<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Happy Birthday to You

<div class="byline">By JEANNETTE SOMERS</div><p class="dropcap"><span>C</span>aptain Teeder Kennedy may be the Maple Leafs&rsquo; most valuable player, Cal Gardner the most sought after and Turk Broda the most-publicized, but no one can take Bad Man honors away from Wild Bill Ezinicki.</p><p>Last season he captured the crown with 145 minutes spent in the pokey and this season with the same number of minutes in durance vile captured the title again, the fourth Leaf to lead the loop for the twelfth time in penalties. Red Horner held the dubious honor for eight straight seasons, from 1932 until 1940. Gus Mortson and Bill Barilko reigned in &lsquo;47 and &rsquo;48 respectively.</p><h2><b>He Started Slowly</b></h2><p>Earlier in the season, after Bill had played one quarter of the schedule, he had acquired only 10 minutes in penalties, not too many for a Bad Man, which set NHL fans to thinking &ldquo;Has Bill turned over a new leaf? Maybe he&rsquo;s trying to get the Byng Trophy away from Defenseman Quackenbush?&rdquo;</p><p>A week later their queries were answered. Bill hadn&rsquo;t turned over a new leaf, he was the same old hard-hitting Maple Leaf, a man who loves to bodycheck. The reason he had not piled up a flock of penalties was that Coach Hap Day was using him sparingly. &ldquo;Ez&rdquo; was recovering from a torn ankle ligament he acquired early this season in training.</p><p>Bill explains his knack for getting penalties in this fashion. &ldquo;I love to body-check. I&rsquo;ve always body-checked. To me it is as necessary to the game as scoring goals. A body-checker seldom goes penalty-free and therefore is a marked man.&rdquo;</p><p>It has been said time and time again, that a man can&rsquo;t score sitting in the penalty box, and until recently never truer words were spoken. A defensive player seldom scores as much as his offensive brother. Some say Bill should have been a defenseman. &ldquo;I wish I had been, but ever since I can remember I&rsquo;ve always been a forward.&rdquo;</p><p>Bill started to skate twenty-one years ago back in his native Winnipeg, at the age of five. When he was nine he started playground hockey and at thirteen joined organized hockey with the Winnipeg Excelsiors. For three straight seasons the Excelsiors were champs, first as Bantam &ldquo;B&rdquo;, then as Bantam &ldquo;A&rdquo; and finally as Midget Champions in 1940-41 the &ldquo;Excels&rdquo; became known as the Winnipeg Rangers and again they were champs, waltzing off with the juvenile title. The next season &ldquo;Ezzie&rdquo; led the juveniles in scoring as a member of the same Rangers.</p><p>For a number of years the original Bad Man, Eddie Shore, had been trying to make a deal with Bill. In 1942 he succeeded and Bill headed east for Oshawa. He played for the Generals two seasons before Connie Smythe spotted him and made a deal with Shore. After a very short visit with the Leafs (eight games to be exact), he turned in his hockey uniform for that of the Canadian Artillery.</p><h2><b>All For Leafs</b></h2><p>Except for 27 games with the Pittsburgh Hornets in 1945-46, Bill has played all of his professional hockey with the Leafs. He has never been the victim of a topsy-turvy line. In his first season he played with the great Syl Apps, until his retirement. Then Centerman Cal Gardner took over with Harry Watson patrolling the left side. When Cal&rsquo;s jaw was broken earlier this season Johnny McCormack filled in at center.</p><p>At one time or another a fellow finds himself on the auction block and &ldquo;Ez&rdquo; is no exception. Earlier in the season it had been rumored that Bill and teammate Howie Meeker might become Black Hawks for Doug Bentley, but the &ldquo;deal&rdquo; didn&rsquo;t materialize.</p><p>In the off season Bill is a professional golfer. He has been playing golf almost as long as he has been playing hockey. He turned pro three years ago, after 14 years as an amateur. Bill has participated in many tournaments and has won many honors. Last year he lost out to the U. S. shotmaker Mike Stranahan in the Canadian-American Ouen Finals.</p><p>During the hockey season, Bill reads up on golf and seldom takes a road trip without some golfing literature. Bill rooms with Turk Broda, who also plays a good game of golf.</p><h2><b>The Winnah!</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02105/1086290-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="543" height="1449"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>BILL EZINICKI</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

YOU’LL BE SORRY!

<p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>Les Douglas of the Cleveland Barons, who led the American Hockey League in scoring this season, has been selected as the Most Valuable Player in the league, by a committee of sportswriters and broadcasters of the ten league cities. The award makes Douglas the recipient of the Leslie Cunningham Trophy and a league bonus of $300. Thus Douglas, veteran center ice star of the Barons, who had already received $300 for leading the circuit in scoring, and a like amount for being chosen as the first team All Star center, finds himself enriched by league bonuses of $900 for his season&rsquo;s outstanding accomplishments.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-01126/1086259-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="549" height="1296"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>LES DOUGLAS</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>Three In Running</b></h2><p>Douglas received a total of 33 points in the voting, out of a possible 45. The runner-up was Ab DeMarco of Buffalo who drew 19 points, and in third place came Terry Sawchuk, brilliant Indianapolis goaltender who amassed 14 points. Each of the ten cities voted for three players, on a point basis of five for first selection, three for second and one for third. Voterswere not permitted to cast any ballots for members of the team from the city which they represented. Douglas received six choices for first place and one for second, while DeMarco had twofor first and three seconds with Sawchuk receiving two firsts, one second and one third. Thus all ten first place votes were divided among the three top candidates. Altogether, 17 different players were considered in the voting.</p><p>In winning the three league awards and cash bonuses, Douglas matched the feat, and reaped the financial rewards of two years ago of Carl Liscombe, left wing star of Providence. In the 1947-48 season, Discbmbe also was voted to the All Star Team, was selected as the Most Valuable Player in the league and led the circuit in scoring.</p><p>That the selection of Douglas by the league&rsquo;s hockey writers and radio men for the award was a wise one, is best borne out by the league records. In his first game of the season last October, Douglas started on his scoring rampage with five points, and compiled 13 for the first week of the schedule in just three games. He was never headed thereafter, and completed the season with an even 100 points comprised of 32 goals and 68 assists, this latter total also being the top league mark. His fine expert passes for ^coring plays, aided his linemate Roy Kelly to set the pace in goals stored for the season, this being one of the factors in his most valuable selection. He also accounted for the 3-goal &ldquo;hat trick&rdquo; on one occasion. Considering that he was selected as the most valuable to his team, on a club&rsquo;which numbered as many outstanding and worthy players on its roster as the powerful Barons had, i makes Douglas&rsquo; feat that much more of an achievement.</p><h2><b>Traded For Davidson</b></h2><p>Douglas was born in Perth, Ontario, Canada on December 5th; 1918. His playing position in the professional ranks has most always been at center ice, and he has a left handed shot. His 165 pounds, on a 5 feet 9 inch frame, have withstood the rigors of many a hockey campaign.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Douglas Voted MVP By AHL Observers

<div class="byline">By JIM ELLERY</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>TWO of the playoff series this season have brought together rivals which have not met each other in post season competition for long periods of time. In the Eastern Division preliminary round, the Providence Reds engaged Springfield for the first Spring classic since the 1936-37 season, while in the semi-finals, the Reds met the Indianapolis Capitals for the first time since 1940.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01160/1086373-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="270" height="427"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Ott Heller</b></figcaption></div><p>The play of the veteran Ott Heller, coach ofr the Indianapolis Capitals, has been the talk of the playoffs to date. The great detense star who spent most of the season just guiding his team&rsquo;s destinies from the bench, got back into harness for the playoff games and has been flying around the ice and manning his position like a young rookie. He never seems to get older, and a remarkable coincidence is that he was already a professional player with&rsquo; Springfield way back in the 1929-30 season, before his all star goaltender, Terry Sawchuk was born.</p><p>The St. Louis Flyers, just as they did last season in the playoffs, made a gallant bid before bow-! ing out for the year. After losing the first game in their own home arena by a lopsided score of 7-1. is was figured that they would not have too much spirit left, considering they had to play the next two if necessary in Indianapolis. However, the Flyers bounced back, scored first in the second game and held the lead until early in the third period. Then after losing the lead, they maintained a tie until late in the session before being eliminated. Although their season long injury jinx was almost over and they had practically all of the stars in condition for the playoffs, their being out so long prevented them from getting back into the right swing of things.</p><p>CLEVELAND, on the strength of the brilliant season long record they had, were natural favorites over Buffalo in the first place round. The Barons sent no fewer than six players who had scored 30 or more goals during the season into the playoffs, and that gave them a tremendous advantage. Buffalo lost a heartbreaker in the second game, when after leading 4-1 with less than three minutes remaining in the third period, they saw the Barons score three times before the final buzzer to knot the count. The tying marker came with just 6 seconds to go. Then in overtime, the Barons won out. This was enough to break any team, but Leroy Goldsworthy&rsquo;s fighting club came back the next night, forgot about the previous game and tended to the business at hand only, to win the third contest. Of such courage, are good hockey teams made.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02112/1086366-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="280" height="432"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Ed Kullman</b></figcaption></div><p>The Providence-Springfield set to provided a fine pair of games, in which the losing team made a great fight before losing to their superiors. Down 6-1 in the first game, the Indians came within a goal of tying the count by scoring three times, only to have Terry Reardon&rsquo;s fighting Reds notch another marker to take the verdict 6-4. In the second contest, the Reds scored first, Springfield tied and then the Reds finished strong to win. The second game featured the brillant goalkeeping of Harvey Bennett^ backed by a strong defense and the offensive power of Eddie Kullman who scored twice, Pete Kapusta, Roger Bedard and Art Michaluk.</p><p>Eddie Kullman seems to be having the number two as his luck charm lately. Recently he became father of twins and then he scored a pair of playoff tallies in one game.</p><p>ALTHOUGH he didn&rsquo;t dress for the series, Terry Reardon was just as inspiring from his usual spot at the corner of the bench, shouting instructions to his players. Terry had a broken stick in his hand for a good part of the game, and whenever a Red made a good play, he banged it on the boards in appreciation. He never sat down on the bench all night.</p><p>One of the finest sights to be seen in any sport is displayed after a team bows out of a playoff round. The players who have been banging each other around all night, giving and asking for nothing in the way of an easy time, show their fine sportsmanship by rushing out to shake hands with each other, the winners to be congratulated and the losers consoled. Eddie Shore and Earl Seibert, owner and coach of the Indians came dashing across the ice to shake hands with Reardon and pat him on the back for a job well done, and it was truly a great spectacle.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-0383/1086359-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="261" height="413"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Earl Seibert</b></figcaption></div><p>The usual enthusiastic Providence crew stayed right to the end even though the score became one sided in the late stages. Those Red followers know their hockey and realize a game can change even with a big score late in the period. Besides, they want to see their Reds as long as possible.</p><p>Two of King Clancy&rsquo;s brilliant rookies from the Cincinnati Mohawks are proving what a great job King did in developing his team from almost nothing in the early season to one of the most feared at the end. Bert Hirschfeld and crew-cut Bobby Frampton are now with Montreal Canadiens and taking a regular turn on a line in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In New York on March 29, when goalie Durnan was removed for an extra forward late in the game, Hirschfeld was the man to take to the ice in a critical spot like that.</p><p>One of the American Hockey League teams made a coaching change during the playoffs. The Hershey Bears who were sitting out the first Spring Classic in their history, switched from Don Penniston to Johnny Crawford. Penniston, one of the finest coaches in hockey, a great strategist, resigned and Crawford, great defensive ace of Boston was appointed to take his place.</p><p>Penniston has developed many a Bruin star on the way up to Boston, and had a hand in many players who went to other clubs to star also. Such Boston favorites of today as Paul Ronty, Johnny Peirson, Kenny Smith, Silvio Bettio, Phil Maloney and Dave Creighton were taught their hockey lore by Don on the way to the Bruins. Penniston left Hershey with the good wishes of the club management and residents to carry him on.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-0453/1086352-1-eng-US/f0008-042.jpg" title="f0008-04" width="269" height="422"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Bob Frampton</b></figcaption></div><p>His successor, Crawford is a fine example of a good expert clean hockey player, one of the greatest to ever lace on a pair of skates.

How They’ve Fared In Past Attempts

<h2><b>First Hat Trick</b></h2><p class="dropcap"><span>P</span>entti Lund became the first player this season to score a hat trick in playoff hockey. He scored his against the Montreal Canadiens when the Rangers upset the Baba 4-1 on New York ice to take 3-0 lead in games in the best of seven series. Lund also had an assist on the other goal.</p><h2><b>Leave Town</b></h2><p>The Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit lied Wings scoot out of town soon after one of their playoff games are over. When playing in Toronto the Wings go to Hamilton to take things easy and the Leafs go to St. Catharines. In Detroit the Wings finish their game and take a bus to Toledo, Ohio and the Leafs go to Dearborn, Michigan.</p><h2><b>HOW THE RACE GOES</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-01144/1086435-1-eng-US/f0009-012.jpg" title="f0009-01" width="593" height="329"></div><h2><b>RESULTS OF GAMES</b></h2><p>Mar. 28 &mdash; Toronto 5, Detroit 0.</p><p>Mar. 29 &mdash; Canadiens 1, Rangers 8,</p><p>Mar. 30 &mdash; Toronto 1. Detroit 3.</p><p>April 1 &mdash; Detroit 0, Toronto 2.</p><p>April 1 &mdash; Rangers 3, Montreal 2.</p><p>April 2 &mdash; Montreal 1, Rangers 4.</p><p>MONTREAL, Que.</p><p>The New York Rangers provided the surprises for National Hockey League fandom last week as they swept through three games with the Montreal Canadiens undefeated. They sailed to a 3-0 lead in games in the best of seven semifinal series and they are now odds on favorites to drop the fast wilting Habs in five, if not Tour games.</p><p>The main stumbling block for the Canadiens was not the Ranger forwards nor their defense, but a guy named Chuck Rayner. The Ranger cage guardian was superb as he turned back shot after shot from Richard, Mosdell and Harvey. He turned in his best game of the season when the Rangers uprooted the Canadiens 4-1 in New York to take the third game.</p><p>Pentti Lund, the converted right winger whom the Rangers sent out to watch Maurice Richard had a picnic as he shot in four goals and three assists in the three games. The watcher turned out to be watched as Lund roared in time and time again. He was a continuous threat to Bill Durnan and a thorn in the side to the Habs in the first three games.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Toronto-Detroit donnybrook has quietened down somewhat. The series, which looked as though it might turn into a grudge one at any time, was taken in hand by President Clarence Campbell and after a few harsh words the Leafs and Wings got down to business of playing hockey.</p><p>The Leafs, who seem to smell dollars around this time every year took a 1-0 lead in games over the Wings, dropping them 5-0. The Wings came back to even the series at one game apiece when two nights later they trounced the Leafs 3-1. The win was for Gordie Howe, their injured teammate said the Wing players. But the Leafs are a hard team to keep down. Returning to Toronto where Turk Broda plays his best hockey, the Leafs once again whitewashed the Wings. This time it was 2-0.</p><p>The odds are now in the Leafs favour. With two of the next three games on Toronto ice the experts are all but handing the spoils to the Blue and White.</p><p>In fact they are handing Mr. Smythe and Company their fourth Stanley Cup in a row.</p><h2><b>TUESDAY, MARCH 28</b></h2><p><b>Toronto 5, at Detroit 0</b></p><p><b>(Toronto leads best of seven series 1-0)</b></p><p>DETROIT.&mdash;The Toronto Maple Leafs continued to dominate the Detroit Red Wings in their Stanley cup drive as they whipped the Wings 5-0.</p><p>It was a disastrous loss for the Wings as they lost the services of their star right winger Gordie Howe for the remainder of t&rsquo;he season.</p><p>Howe crashed into the boards and was seriously injured in the head. He will not return to action.</p><p>Joe Klukay was the star of the night for the Leafs scoring their first and last goals of the game.</p><p>The first period was scoreless but In the second one the Leafs crashed the house down on the Wings&rsquo; heads as they scored three times.</p><p>Klukay, Barilko and McCormack netted the goals.</p><p>Gardner and Klukay made it five nothing in the third period.</p><p><b>Toronto:</b> Goal.

Genial Hub Squire Gets Hershey Draw As Playing Coach

<div class="byline">By JACK HORRIGAN</div><p>BUFFALO, N. Y.&mdash;</p><p>The welding of a cripple, a codger, and a kid into one of the smoothest functioning forward lines in the American Hockey League was the turning point in the Buffalo Bisons victory drive to the loop&rsquo;s Eastern Division crown.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-03102/1086608-1-eng-US/f0011-032.jpg" title="f0011-03" width="268" height="419"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Grant Warwick</b></figcaption></div><p>Time was within a few short hours of claiming 1949 when Coach LeRoy Goldsworthy sent Grant (Knobby) Warwick, oldster Ab DeMarco and Paul Meger, the freshman, over the boards as a unit for the first time.</p><p>Warwick had just joined Buffalo last New Year&rsquo;s Eve on option from the Montreal Canadiens to play himself back into shape. Between a hold-out siege, (before he was purchased by Montreal from Boston) a charley horse, and having his nose broken twice. Little Knobby had missed most of the first half of the National league season.</p><p>DeMarco, at 33 and after 11 seasons in pro hockey, was considered in the twilight of his career when the season began.</p><p>Meger, a hammered-down pepperpot who could hardly stand, on skates a few years before, was just an unproven rookie fresh from the Ontario Hockey Association junior loop.</p><h2><b>Click From Start</b></h2><p>The line &ldquo;jelled&rdquo; from the beginning, as that intangible something that distinguishes between good and best was there. Both Center De Marco and Right Wing Warwick scored goals while Left Wing Meger assisted in setting them up as Buffalo dumped Hershey, 4-1. From that night on. Buffalo&rsquo;s &ldquo;Money Line&rdquo; was the scourge of the A.H.L.</p><p>The record book reveals why. In 27 games, the line picked up 132 points as it blazed 54 goals into opposition nets. During that period Buffalo scored a total of 116 goals.</p><p>The balance of the line is proven by the fact that DeMarco tallied 19 goals, Meger 18, and Warwick 17. But the most important feature of the line&rsquo;s productivity has been its effects on Buffalo&rsquo;s winning efforts. Of the 27 games DeMarco-Warwick-Meger played as a unit, Buffalo lost only seven. That&rsquo;s an amazing figure for the dog-eat-dog Eastern Division.</p><p>Each of the trio has his own ideas about why the line managed to wreak such havoc in the league.</p><p>&ldquo;Ab and I were teammates with the New York Rangers for four years,&rdquo; Warwick began. &ldquo;He plays that dipsy-doodle hockey and is one of the few centers in the game today who can pass to both his wings.

Warwick, however, is the &ldquo;champion&rdquo; being one of 10 children. One of his brothers, Billy once performed with New York while Grant was earning his paychecks there, too. Billy now plays with Minneapolis of the United States Hockey League.</p><p>Born in Regina, Sask, Grant was chasing around hometown ponds on bobskates at the age of six. At nine, he played in a peewee league and progressed right up to the Regina Rangers, who won the Allan Cup, emblematic of amateur hockey supremacy, in 1940-41.</p><p>Grant got a greater thrill out of being a member of that club than he did being voted the National League&rsquo;s outstanding rookie the following season.</p><p>&ldquo;Of course if they gave $1,000 along with the Calder Trophy then, maybe I&rsquo;d have gotten a bigger kick out of it,&rdquo; he quipped.</p><p>After seven and a half years with New York, Warwick was traded to Boston in the middle of the 1947-48 campaign. He was with the Bruins until this past fall when Montreal purchased his contract.</p><p>&ldquo;Playing in Buffalo is actually the first time I&rsquo;ve ever played pro hockey outside of the N.H.L.,&rdquo; Warwick said.</p><p>&ldquo;When I agreed to come down, Mr. (Frank) Selke of the Canadiens said I&rsquo;d be recalled as soon as I got in shape. But the line was going so good and I was content being with a winning club, that Mr. Selke and Art Chapman, Buffalo General-Manager, worked oue a deal that left me here for the remainded of the season.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Ball Hawk In Summer</b></h2><p>During the summer months, Warwick serves as playermanager of the Carlisle baseball club in Saskatchewan, dividing his time between catching and covering the second base territory.</p><p>The handsome, black-thatched, square-jawed N.H. L. veteran believes that he has &ldquo;three or four&rdquo; more years of good hockey in his five foot, six inch 170 pound frame.</p><p>&ldquo;After that I&rsquo;d like to get a coaching job,&rdquo; Warwick concluded.</p><p>In stature, and taste for sports outside hockey, Meger is much like linemate Warwick.</p><p>&ldquo;I like to play baseball, but decided to concentrate on hockey a year ago,&rdquo; Paulie explained. &ldquo;When a fellow plays two sports like that, he&rsquo;s liable to burn himself out before his time.&rdquo;</p><p>Sandy-haired Paul got started in hockey only because of an offer of a trip from his Selkirk, Manitoba, home to St. Catharines, Ont.</p><p>&ldquo;Mister Chapman had come out to Selkirk to see another kid, and someone recommended me to him,&rdquo; Meger reminisced. &ldquo;I took the offer because I liked the idea of the cross-country trip. I knew I couldn&rsquo; skate worth a darn. After a couple of days, I was sent home by Mister Chapman and told to learn how to skate. &ldquo;I came back East the next season and made the Barrie, Ontario, Juniors club. That was in 194 6. I was with that club until Buffalo took me on this past fall.</p><p>&ldquo;I honestly didn&rsquo;t think that I&rsquo;d make the Buffalo squad this year and so everything that has happened to me has been a pleasant surprise.&rdquo;</p><p>A year ago, DeMarco&mdash;the third member of the triumvirate was shuttled from Cleveland to Washington to Buffalo.</p><p>The sharp-featured, unofficial good will ambassador of North Bay, Ontario, was no longer considered the threat he once was to loop netminders.</p><p>But Ab would only admit that &ldquo;the legs are a bit slower.&rdquo; And. the fact that he has broken all previous single season Buffalo scoring records would indicate that the touch of magic has not deserted his hockey stick.</p><p>&ldquo;I just started to feel like my old self this year and have been fortunate in avoiding injuries,&rdquo; DeMarco said.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m just waiting for that shot at Cleveland in the playoffs, I&rsquo;ve got an old score to even there.&rdquo;</p><p>And With the help of Warwick and Meger, Demarco may do just that.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By BUNNY MORGANSON</div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Even before his Guelph Biltmores won the O.H.A. junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; title from the favored Windsor Spitfires, Alphie Pike&mdash;former centre star for New York Rangers long ago was picked as the junior hockey coach of the year as far as Ontario hockey fans are concerned.</p><p>Pike came up through the Winnipeg minor ranks and played a big part as Winnipeg Monarchs captured the O.H.A, Memorial Cup for the Junior Hockey Championship of Canada in 1937. His professional carreer was with Rangers and their affiliated clubs from 1939 to 1946. When Alfie Pike took over the coaching chore at Guelph last fall on the recommendation of his old boss, Frankie Boucher, the junior Biltmores were in a disorganized state. Their previous seasons had been bitter affairs and they had tried out many coaches without much success.</p><p>Last year Pike was noted for his crafty stick-handling: playmaking and sound skating. He set about the business of teaching Biltmores the same style and it has paid off.</p><h2><b>The Glory Road</b></h2><p>Although they finished fourth in the regular O.H.A. junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; race, Pike&rsquo;s Guelph Biltmores knocked off the highly favored St. Catharines Tee Pees and Barrie Flyers, defending champions, in handy fashion Then they moved in against Windsor Spitfires, given little hope to win even one game by the junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; hockey experts.</p><p>Windsor, on the other hand, added much to their chances of going places with an impressive 4 games to one victory that eliminated Toronto Marlboros who headed the parade all winter.</p><p>However, Alfie Pike and his Guelph kids kept skating and playing heads-up hockey. They amazed everybody but their solid home town fans with two quick wins over Windsor on Guelph ice to open the Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; O.H.A. final round. On Wednesday March 15 Guelph emerged 3-2 winners Three days later, March 18 they came back with another rip-snorting passing game to outscore their Windsor opponents 5-4.</p><p>With the next three games slated for Windsor, the experts figured it would be only a matter of time for the Spits to catch up but they were only partly right. Windsor started to roll with a 5-1 win on March, 2 0 and tied the series 4-2 in overtime on March 22.</p><p>But, Windsor, like others in O.H.A. junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; ranks, failed to take in account the team spirit and will-to-win created by Pike. Coming back on Windsor ice for their third appearance. Pike&rsquo;s Peerless Performers upset Windsor by a 6-3 score with a perfectly performed display of hockey.</p><h2><b>Favored Spits Fade</b></h2><p>Twice Windsor had the lead in this all important key game only to fade before the crafty passing game of the Guelph Bilts. Again the Pike influence went to work and Guelph, left Windsor with a 3-2 edge ore the series with the next game their own ice they nudged the Spits 3-2 to create the season&rsquo;s biggest upset.</p><p>The change in play-off arrangements this season is already working out favourably for South Porcupine Combines, winners of the N.O.H.A junior title. Other years the N.O.H.A. juniors have been matched in the first round against the O.H.A. winners, but this Ottawa and District Association and in the first game against their new opponents came up with a 7-2 win.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By HEC MocLEAN</div><p>CALGARY, Alta.&mdash;</p><p>Murray Armstrong Regina Pats, a club that finished in fourth place and clinched a playoff berth only in the final week of the schedule, turned in a major upset when it won the Western Canada Junior Hockey League championship in a series against the favored Lethbridge Native Sons.</p><p>The Regina Pats triumph brought the Western Canada Memorial Cup picture down to four teams. In one bracket Pats went against Prince Albert Mintos while the other Western semi-final saw the defending champion Brandon Wheat Kings pitted against Port Arthur Bruins.</p><p>This observer touted Regina Pats as the W.J.H.L. winner in the Oct. 8 and Nov. 5 issues. All season it looked like Pats formed just another hockey club until the playoffs.</p><p>Armstrong, former National Hockey League star, must have something up his sleeve. In the semi-final Pats knocked over the favored Moose Jaw Canucks 3-1 and then came on to take out Lethbridge.</p><h2><b>Sons Prize Flops</b></h2><p>Native Sons finished 16 points ahead in the regular schedule and their showing in the playoff will get them a few votes when they start dishing out &ldquo;flop of the year&rdquo; awards.</p><p>Brandon, as expected, came through against Winnipeg Monarchs but only after a rugged struggle by the Manitoba sextet.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By ACE FOLEY</div><p>HALIFAX. N.S.&mdash;</p><p>Sydney Millionaires and Halifax Saint Mary&rsquo;s represented the Maritimes in the Allan and Memorial Cup playoffs. Sydney crushed Halifax Saint Mary&rsquo;s four games to one in the senior final, while the youthful Santa marians came up with their fifth consecutive junior crown by upsetting Sussex (N.B.) Rangers two games to one.</p><p>It was the concensus that the senior Santamarians did well to win a game from the powerfull Millionaires. The team that Erwin (Murph) Chamberlain coaches is a hockey powerhouse&mdash;the best Allan Cup representative to come out of these seaward provinces since the Sydney team foundered in the Cup finals against Regina away back in 1941.</p><p>The senior Santamarians gave their usual scrappy performance, but it wasn&rsquo;t enough. At that they did startle the Moneymen in the second game when they showed all their Big Four bounce to finish out in front 6-4. Chamberlain was so sure of his team in that one, following a 9-4 victory in the. first game, that he used a junior line and a substitute goalie. His friends and admirers won&rsquo;t let him forget that boner for a while.</p><p>Millionaires won 9-4 and lost 6-4 in Halifax. In Sydney they swept three &lsquo;games, by scores of 6-1, 7-3 and 6-3. In the course of the firing Halifax goalie Jack Donlevy wag injured and former junior star Ernie Yeadon came on to win new laurels with the big pads. In the five games they shared the goaltending duties equally.</p><h2><b>Lucky Have Looksee</b></h2><p>Chamberlain&rsquo;s team had such a wide advantage in weight, height and reach that it was plain for all to see that if the Halifax team won a game it would be doing well. Thus when the Santamarians did salvage one they at least gave their supporters one night in which to howl.</p><p>Finally the series was a bread winner for Halifax, a financial fizzle for Sydney. The two Halifax games drew almost 8,000 paid customers apiece, while the Sydney crowds were among the smallest of the season at the Steel City.</p><p>How good is the Sydney powerhouse? How far will Murph Chamberlain&rsquo;s charges go along the Allan Cup trail?</p><p>Time will tell. The Millionaires got one bad break when they were pitted against the Quebec League champions in the first round, a bad break because the Moneymen didn&rsquo;t get the competition in the Maritimes that they need to compete successfully with the Quebeckers. On the other hand the first two games will be played in Sydney, and that is a break for the Maritimers.</p><p>Chamberlain has a well balanced team. He has two goalies in Pidsodny and Jackie Gibson, the latter now a substitute but for two years the Sydney regular. Three of his four defensemen are goal-getters. Ken Ross has an exceptionally hard shot and bagged four goals in the third game of the Maritime finals.</p><p>There are three good lines, featuring local and imported players. Most of them played with Millionaires a year ago, but a few are imports who have stood the test of the rugged play in the Cape Breton League. Captain Don McRae is still a standout. Currently he&rsquo;s playing defence, but he is rated as Canada&rsquo;s outstanding amateur up front.</p><p>The Millionaires have balance, fire power and weight. They are fast and young. They have suffered from a lack of Allan Cup competition that might hinder them in the first round of the cup series. If they win over the Quebec winners they might go all the way. They are not to be regarded lightly. Remember, this is the best Maritime senior team since the Millionaires of 1941, the team that went to the Cup finals, blew an early lead and finally were put out by Regina Rangers.</p><h2><b>Getting To Be Habit</b></h2><p>Saint Mary&rsquo;s made Maritime history by sweeping to their fifth straight junior crown. This is by no means the best Maritime representative in the past few years as was quickly proven when Montreal Canadiens came to town and crushed them 11-3 and 10-1. The rest of the proposed best-of-five series was cancelled in a hurry!</p><h2><b>Smilin&rsquo; Boy</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01181/1086843-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg" title="f0014-01" width="559" height="898"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Murph Chamberlain</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Chips Stacked Too High; Dollarmen Take Jackpot

<div class="byline">By FRANK BYRD</div><p>PRINCE ALBERT, Sask.&mdash;</p><p>Prince Albert Junior Mintos are champions of Northern Saskatchewan-Alberta and British Columbia. They tucked away the Northern Crown by knocking out the Trail Junior Smoke Eaters in the best-of-three quarter finals, twogames to one. The series just completed in the mining town was a climax for the Mintos following their win over Edmonton AC&rsquo;s.</p><p>The Northern Saskatchewan crew guided by Don McCullough (brother of the much-wanted Chuck of Saskatoon Quakers) have been riding on the gravy train since February 15 when they opened their playoff jawing. The record that the green and whites have run up in playoff competition against roughtough opposition is one that can&rsquo;t be cast aside too easily or too early. In fifteen playoff games to date the P. A. Juniors have come out on the short end of the count only three times.</p><p>Mintos fell under the axe in the tussle with EAC&rsquo;s as far as injuries were concerned as two of their stars hit the sidelines ticketed &ldquo;out for the season&rdquo;. The toughest blow came to shifty center Bill Swarbrick, hot junior prospect from Moose Jaw, as he came out with a fractured leg. The other load of bad luck fell on All-Star dlght winger Jimmie Wilson who suffered a pulled shoulder muscle and was forced to the sidelines for the latter halt of the AC-Mintos round and for all of the Trail season.</p><p>What many observers consider a happy omen for the Mintos is the fact that Jim Wilson will be ready for the semi-final round against the Lethbridge-Regina winner which means the Mintos will only have one under doctor&rsquo;s orders. Wilson is the Apple of the eye of several scouts who are out here in the West looking for talent.</p><p>Hockey fever in P.A. is certainly more than evident around Radio Station CKBI which is going all out to bring all playoff games to the many fans in this area, regardless of the obstacle. Not only were the local games aired but the ones from Edmonton and Trail. E. A. Rawlinson, manager of the Station, arranged for daily contact with Trail via Ham Radio to keep Prince Albert hockey fans posted on the doings of the Junior Mintos.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<p>MOOSE JAW, Sask.&mdash;</p><p>Vern Pachal of Crow&rsquo;s Nest Pass Lions captured the scoring championship of the Western Canada Junior Hockey League for the 1949-50 season. He squeezed out Guyle Fielder of Lethbridge Native Sons on the closing night, collecting four points to boost his total to 106, one more than Fielder, the almost season-long leader.</p><p>According to final official statistics released by J. Harper Parry, league secretary manager, Pachal who hails from Yorkton, Sask, was the circuit&rsquo;s leading goalgetter with 59. Fielder who comes from Prince Albert, Sask, topped the assist column with 58.</p><p>Paul Masnick of Regina Pats was a distant third in the scoring race with 87 points. Following him were Dick Pontarollo and Pete Petrovitch, both of Crow&rsquo;s Nest Pass.</p><p>Bill Shvetz of Crow&rsquo;s Nest Pass was the league&rsquo;s bad man. He spent a total of 123 minutes, more than two regulation games, in the penalty box.</p><p>The goaltending department provided a surprise Bob Tyler, third and last of three netminders used by Regina, compiled the best average&mdash;3.42 for 26 games. Boomer Rodzinyak of Lethbridge was next with 3.47 for 40 games, while Hank Bassen of Calgary Buffaloes was third with an average of 3.75 for 29 games. Rodzinyak was the shutout king with three.</p><p>Final scoring leaders:</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-02126/1086898-1-eng-US/f0014-022.jpg" title="f0014-02" width="588" height="354"></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>
