Camp Tour Convinces C.S. Majors Harder To Crack Than Ever Before; Sees Balanced Loop
MONTREAL, Que.— The calibre of play in the National League is rapidly returning to its pre-World War II status, says Clarence Campbell, the league president. Just returned from a tour of the six training camps, the league’s Top Man says events which transpired during the summer months will contributed to a better balanced league. The events he mentions are taken to mean the nine-man trade between Detroit and Chicago. “There aren’t as many rookies attempting to break in,” said Campbell “and those that are seem to be of a better calibre than in years before.” Campbell also revealed that for the first time there is an adequate supply of high-class talent around. “The excellent supply of hockey players around today stems from the fact that competition seems to be stiffer and rookies are finding…
Remember this Famous Name in Hockey…
Remember Lester Patrick—sure you do, but do you remember the night in April, 1928, when at the age of 44 he donned the pads and stepped into the Rangers’ goals to win a Stanley Cup game? Patrick was coach of the Rangers then and his club was playing the old Montreal Maroons for the Cup. The first two games were played in Montreal. The Rangers lost the first game and midway through the middle period of the second game fate dealt a dirty blow to Goaler Lorne Chabot. He was hit between the eyes by the puck and taken to the hospital.

39 Work Out with Lynn’s Bruins But Only Gelineau Sure Of Staying On Club
HERSHEY, Pa.— The stiffest battle for jobs in the history of the club has featured pre-season practices of the Boston Bruins. A squad of 39 players, 27 of them professionals, reported to Coach Lynn Patrick for intensive workouts at the spacious Hershey rink. Boston’s new regime, personified by Patrick, starting his first season as coach, has insisted on production, and candidates for the team have been working on that basis. The only Bruin certain of retaining his status of last year is Goalie Jack Gelineau, the business administration major from McGill University, expected to be better as a sophomore than he was as a freshman. The only other goalie in the Bruins’ camp is Don Campbell, the youngster from St. Catharine’s. As for the rest of the squad, Patrick is letting them show him why…
Stewart And Lumley Big Morale Boosters
NORTH BAY, Ont.— Ebbie Goodfellow, making his initial start as coach of the Chicago Black Hawks, is fairly optimistic over his team’s chances in the N.H.L. championship race, which gets underway on October 11. Goodfellow has been driving his charges hard through daily workouts at their Northern Ontario training base and thinks the Hawks will be a well-balanced club by the time the new season is in full swing. The four new players the Hawks obtained from the Red Wings in the biggest player deal of all time have been fitting into the Chicago lineup wonderfully well and have done much to lift the morale and spirit of the Windy City sextet. “Jack Stewart has been wonderful with the kids. He’s never too busy to pass on advice to them and he’s…
