<div class="byline">By GEORGE JOHNSON</div><p>PITTSBURGH, Pa.&mdash;</p><p>Four years after stepping out of the American League as a player, Tommy Anderson, the Cowboy from Calgary, steps in again as coach of Pittsburgh&rsquo;s American League Hornets.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-01543/2139658-1-eng-US/f0010-012.jpg" title="f0010-01" width="257" height="419"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Tommy Anderson</b></figcaption></div><p>The Stingers hope that in his saddlebags the Cowboy brought the map telling where the playoff loot is located. The past two winters, Pittsburgh has located nothing but an empty feeling at playoff time.</p><p>Toronto, Pittsburgh&rsquo;s big brother in the National League, has sent a half-dozen new ranch hands along with the new foreman, who a year ago completed his third term as coach of Oshawa&rsquo;s Generals in Ontario Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; scuffling.</p><p>Does the new coach, expect to make the playoffs?</p><p>&ldquo;Sure do,&rdquo;the lean Scot said quickly. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;m here for, to put &lsquo;em in the playoffs.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Couldn&rsquo;t Dent Twine</b></h2><p>The Hornets lost twice and tied once before crossing the trail of the fluttering Indianapolis Caps, and clouting them twice, but &ldquo;we could have won all of those first three games,&rdquo; Anderson contended. &ldquo;We just couldn&rsquo;t put the puck in the net.&rdquo;</p><p>After five games, Pittsburgh had only 12 goals for, and 11 against. Some of its red-light flicker famine could be traced to the conscientious play of the best-known of four rookies, lanky George Armstrong.</p><p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s got a good hard shot,&rdquo; Anderson said, &ldquo;but he hasn&rsquo;t been shooting enough.&rdquo; The center whiz of last year&rsquo;s Toronto Marlboros, junior and senior, has been trying to make one more play sometimes, instead of cutting loose himself.</p><p>George, who heaped in 64 goals in his final year as an amateur, is certain to start wearing out the nets soon, and then, or sooner, Pittsburgh&rsquo;s offense, anemic all last season, will take on the flush of life.</p><p>Armstrong is centering Vic Lynn, down after four years with the big team, and Chuck Blair, 22-year-old graduate of the Marlboro Seniors, Canadian champions.</p><p>Another line employs three holdovers, Bob Solinger, Rudy Migay and Ray Hannigan. Solinger missed almost half of last season with an eye injury and Migay was a Toronto-Pittsburgh commuter. Hannigan led the Hornets in goals with 30, being one of the AHL&rsquo;s outstanding rookies. These three in one piece all winter could be good for 70 goals.</p><p>Pittsburgh&rsquo;s other line contains Rookie John McLellan, from the Marlboros Senior, steady Eldy Kobussen and &ldquo;Wild&rdquo; William Ezinicki. William is doing penance here for giving the Toronto brass the silent treatment during the training season. His reputation as a fearful checker leads American Leaguers to wish him a speedy return to the Maple Leafs.</p><p>Ezzy&rsquo;s arrival alter the season began unseated Andy Barbe, the league&rsquo;s deadliest long-shot. Barbe and Pete Langelle are the trouble-shooters now.</p><p>On defense, four men will carry the load. With three veterans, Pete Backor, Frank Mathers and Tim Horton, 20-year-old John Ashley, with Guelph juniors last season, is getting his pro indoctrination.</p><p>The goalkeeper is little Gil Mayer, off to another fast start in his second AL season. Gil came out of his freshman year with a 2.84 goals-against average, but surrendered his job to Al Rollins late in the race, and so has yet to prove he has the stamina to go the full distance. Rollins, being used as Toronto&rsquo;s spare goalie, no doubt will ride to the rescue here again if Mayer begins to bend.</p><p>Anderson is another coach In favor of the AL rule, enacted this fall, reducing the number of players dressing for a game from 16 to 15.</p><p>&ldquo;Fifteen&rsquo;s enough,&rdquo; he declared. &ldquo;That way, everyone gets a chance to play, and you don&rsquo;t have anyone going out there cold in the third period, If you were dressing 16, and maybe keeping two to kill penalties, maybe you wouldn&rsquo;t have a penalty early in the game. Then if you got one in the third period, and wanted to use them, they&rsquo;d be cold and couldn&rsquo;t do the job.</p><p>The new coach is no advocate of 9 a.m. practices. &ldquo;The hockey players day is too long anyway,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We are on the ice from 11 to 1. That way, the fellows are up about 9, and after practice and a show, it&rsquo;s time to eat and think about going to bed. That way, their days aren&rsquo;t so long.&rdquo;</p><p>He expects no difficulty in disciplining pros, after handling young amateurs. &ldquo;You can&rsquo;t fine a kid, you can only sit him out,&rdquo; he pointed out, adding with a smile, &ldquo;and if he&rsquo;s one of your good kids, you can&rsquo;t sit him out. With these fellows, you can reach into their pocket, if you have to.&rdquo;</p><p>He doesn&rsquo; expect to have to. He gives the impression of being a self-contained fellow, as pliant yet as firm as rawhide. The kind of a guy who&rsquo;ll bust a gut, and expects his men to do the same, to get to the top.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

“Here To Put Hornets In Playoffs,” Says Anderson

<div class="byline">By MARSHALL DANN</div><p>DETROIT, Mich&mdash;</p><p>As this season rolls along Detroit Red Wings are discovering one of the costs they must pay for being the National Hockey League&rsquo;s defending champions. That cost is the psychological disadvantage of always being cast in the role of favorite. It brings out some fierce opposition from keyed-up rivals, or so the Wings have found out. The life of a champion isn&rsquo;t easy. The Detroit players now are finding out what the Maple Leafs had to face while they were riding on top, and the Montreal Canadiens before that.</p><p>Coach Tommy Ivan was anticipating all this before the season opened. While in training camp he went on record by saying that Detroit&rsquo;s rivals would be eyeing the Wings in a new light this semester.</p><p>&ldquo;I know that every club we meet will be pointing for us,&rdquo; Ivan declared back in September. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s only natural for players to have more pep and fire when they go against us after we&rsquo;ve won the NHL title and Stanley Cup.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s always easier for a coach to bring up his team for a game against, someone with a big reputation. I found that out the way the Wings played against Toronto when the Leafs were on top.&rdquo;</p><p>Those worries have been borne out in Detroit&rsquo;s first few games. The Wings, keyed to a psychological peak themselves, won the All Star game in a real rout. But, ever since they&rsquo;ve been confined to a succession of close battles by every foe.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01469/2139012-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="578" height="577"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>Resting Up</b></p><p><b>SID ABEL</b></p></figcaption></div><p>In the first seven Detroit games (four won, one tied, two lost), there never was a margin of more than two goals. Three times there was a single goal difference, and three times two goals. Never have the Wings been able to romp out in front and coast home. It&rsquo;s been one bitter fight after another.</p><p>While that&rsquo;s a setup which doesn&rsquo;t breed one evil &mdash; overconfidence, it also has forced Ivan to change some of his strategy.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02448/2139005-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="270" height="423"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Red Kelly</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03402/2138998-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="264" height="410"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>Guardian Aces</b></p><p><b>Leo Reise</b></p></figcaption></div><p>For one thing, he has pretty much discarded his plan for using four separate lines.</p><p>That was a good idea on paper, for it meant all hands could have plenty of rest while toiling through a 70-game campaign. But, Ivan also found it meant keeping top stars like Ted Lindsay, Gordie Howe and Sid Abel on the bench much of the time.</p><p>Conn Smythe, Toronto&rsquo;s managing director, commented on that very point after Toronto surged from behind for a 4-4 tie in the second game of the season.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;d just like to thank Detroit for keeping that Abel Line off the ice so much. It gives us a lot better chance,&rdquo; was Smythe&rsquo;s sharp jibe.</p><p>Ivan had the same idea, for ever since Lindsay and Howe, in particular, have spent a good 35 percent of the time in action.</p><p>Since Detroit didn&rsquo;t move right out in front of the NHL pack from the start, there has been a ware of &ldquo;What&rsquo;s the matter with the Wings?&rdquo; talk in these parts.</p><p>Actually, nothing really big seems wrong with them. There have some disappointments &mdash; the other lines haven&rsquo;t come up to the efficiency hoped for, and the powerful Production Line has had to carry most of the load.</p><p>While many believed that Detroit&rsquo;s defense would slip this season, it&rsquo;s the offense which actually has been lagging. The Production trio tallied eight of the first 15 goals, two goals, two others coming by defenseman Red Kelly, leaving five spread out among the other forwards.</p><p>Ivan is trying to work this out with constant experiments with his lines. One fact is noticeable. Abel hasn&rsquo;t been able to produce his speed of old yet, a sign that his 32-year-old legs may be tiring.</p><p>Metro Prystai has been seeing considerable action at Abel&rsquo;s pivot spot between Lindsay and Howe. Prystai has been alternating there especially in the third periods.</p><p>Jim McFadden has moved into the second line replacing Prystai. making intact last year&rsquo;s regular second line of McFadden-Jim Peters-Marty Pavelich. The third line usually is formed of George Gee, Gerry Couture and Gaye Stewart, with Joe Carveth and Steve Black as spares.</p><p>Terry Sawchuk in goal definitely has not been a weak spot.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-04304/2138991-1-eng-US/f0002-042.jpg" title="f0002-04" width="577" height="584"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>Filling In</b></p><p><b>METRO PRYSTAI</b></p></figcaption></div><p>In his first seven games as Harry Lumley&rsquo;s replacement, Sawchuk has given up only 12 goals.</p><p>Leo Reise and Red Kelly have been the key men in the defense, starting each period as a unit and one of them always being on the ice the rest of the time.</p><p>Lee Fogolin and Marcel Pronovost have handled most of the other work since Clare Martin was forced into a month&rsquo;s idleness with a fractured cheek bone.

They won&rsquo;t be able to maintain their sizzling pace, but not withstanding that those points they&rsquo;ve been picking up will stand them in good stead as the battering 70 game schedule wears on.</p><p>After 11 games, or just over&rsquo; one-seventh of their regular season&rsquo;s work, the boys have presented rookie coach Joe Primeau with a very satisfactory record of seven wins, three ties and a solitary defeat. Their unbeaten string has been parlayed into a 10-game streak in games up to and including last week-end.</p><h2><b>Bad Start&mdash;But!</b></h2><p>Leafs, picked behind the Stanley Cup holding Detroit Red Wings in expert polls, didn&rsquo;t seem such balls of fire as they dropped their first game to Chicago on October 14, giving up a 2-1 verdict to Ebbie Goodfellow&rsquo;s sextet on Toronto ice.</p><p>But they pulled up their socks with a vengeance after that initial loss, and haven&rsquo;t been headed up to the time of writing.

The puck-blocking chore has been receiving loving care from a pair of pipe worthies who have been notably stingy in allowing goals.</p><p>That venerable greybeard Turk Broda&mdash;at 36 the grand-daddy of all N.H.L. players&mdash;has been kicking up his heels like a colt, and covering the nets like a blanket, with three shoutouts already to his credit.</p><p>A bit of Leafian strategy which has been paying off admirably is the system of giving Broda a rest at regular intervals so he can come back fresh and full of the old Turkey Trot. Young Al Rollins, his stand-in, has been coming through as expected every time he&rsquo;s called upon, which played no small part in preserving the Primeau men&rsquo;s unconquered status.</p><p>Rollins, in three tries to date, has been in the pipes while Leafs were racking up two of their victories, and gained a 2-2 tie with Rangers in the Saturday night game.</p><p>This system of alternating goalies has paid off so far for the Leafs, much better than the last experiment of the nature in the 1945-46 campaign when New York Rangers had Sugar Jim Henry and Chuck Rayner coming on and off the ice like substitutes at a football game.</p><p>Leafs, of course, still have a long way to go before even equalling the N.H.L. undefeated mark &mdash; a memorable string of 23 games without a loss set by Boston Bruins in the 1940-41 season. But unless somebody discovers the combination to stop them in a hurry, the blue-and-white-sweatered crew are apt to start thinking about the subject very shortly.</p><p>Toronto&rsquo;s fast break from the wire is due in on small part to the youthfulness of the team Gentleman Joe Primeau has out there fighting for him. Only Broda at 36 ranks as a real old-timer iq point of years, while the rest of the crew range right down to the tender 19 of brilliant young Danny Lewicki. With an average age of 24.9 in fact, the Toronto rank as the youngest team in the loop.</p><p>But, while they&rsquo;re young in years, this hell-for-leather Leaf crew is a veteran aggregation which has seen plenty of N.H.L. action. Ted Kennedy, a mere stripling of 24, already has been on four Stanley Cup winning teams for the Queen City, while others like Mortson, Thomson, Barilko, Howie Meeker and Harry Watson have helped bring home the silverware three times&mdash;the three in a row the Leafs picked up in 1946-47 and the two succeding years.</p><p>With such a blend of youth and experience. Leafs have been proving in game after game that they have a lot on the puck, even without the fighting presence of peppery Wild Bill Ezinicki.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hungry Leafs Kick Up Heels To N.H.L.

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><p>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;</p><p>Ice problems have continued to hinder the progress of the Chicago Black Hawks. After the Hawk-Detroit Red Wing game at the Chicago Stadium was postponed October 19 because the lea wouldn&rsquo;t freeze, the problem of where to practice arose.</p><p>Since the Stadium and the only other two spots with ice freezing facilities in the vicinity, the Chicago Arena and the Milwaukee Arena, were already committed for other events, about all the Hawks could do was talk over their game with Toronto the following Sunday.</p><p>&ldquo;We did get in some skating time early Friday, but it had to be used for picture-taking,&rdquo; Coach Ebbie Goodfellow said.</p><p>The lack of practice was very evident Sunday as the Maple Leafs beat the Hawks, 5 to 3, and without veteran netminder Turk Broda who took the night off and was replaced by Al Rollins, a comparative rookie in the NHL.</p><p>Arter the game, in the dressing room, everyone agreed that their timing was way oft and the main reason for this was the lack of practice.</p><p>Goodfellow and owner Bill Tobin got together to devise some way of getting ice for the Hawks to skate on before their next game, October 26 with the hot Montreal Canadiens.</p><p>The situation was solved at great length, 175 miles to be exact. This was the distance that the team went Tuesday morning to practice at the arena in Grand Rapids, Mich., which is used by that city&rsquo;s entry in the amateur International League.</p><p>Going by cars, they arrived at Grand Rapids in time to get in a good workout Tuesday afternoon and another the next morning. The Hawks arrived back in Chicago late Wednesday, a well coordinated crew.</p><p>They proved just how much good the practice had done by soundly trouncing the Canucks, 5 to 1. It was the Hawk&rsquo;s biggest display of goal-getting so far this season.</p><p>The Black Hawks will probably have to drive several hundred miles more in quest of practice ice this season, but don&rsquo;t think they won&rsquo;t be glad to do it. Practice really does make perfect and anyone who doubts it will more than likely find almost any member of the Chicago organization willing to argue the point.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hunt For Ice Takes Hawks 175 Miles

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><p>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;</p><p>When Ebbie Goodfellow left his coaching job with the st. Louis Fleyrs (AHL) last summer to assume a similar post with the Chicago Black Hawks, he left a squad that had worked as one solid unit. Ebbie stressed team play, not individual performance.</p><p>As a result a very few of the Flyers made All-Star mention, but as a team they were hard to beat or equal. Only two of the St. Louis players finished among the league&rsquo;s top 25 scorers last year, but every man on the team that played for the whole season scored 14 points or more.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-05216/2139088-1-eng-US/f0002-052.jpg" title="f0002-05" width="267" height="417"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>E.

Although the Hawks aren&rsquo;t on top of the NHL, they have won their share of games and against the league&rsquo;s best at that.</p><p>As a result of the overall team play, Chicago doesn&rsquo;t seem to have a real first line since each of the four forward trios have joined, in the goal and assist production.</p><p>In the Hawks&rsquo; first seven tilts the points were distributed as follows among the forward lines.</p><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-06137/2139081-1-eng-US/f0002-062.jpg" title="f0002-06" width="1208" height="178"></div><p>So far this year none of the other NHL squads, except possibly Toronto, has exhibited such balance while also scoring a lot. Detroit and Boston have each had their point making dominated single threesomes and the same has been true at New York and Montreal, although at a lesser extent.</p><p>The Chicago rearguards have also done all right in the scoring column.

Bill’s Grinning Over Trade While Ebbie Shapes Up Team With No Worries About Stars

<div class="byline">By WHITNEY TOWER</div><p>CINCINNATI, 0.&mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>C</span>incinnati, traditionally known as the Queen City, has in less than two years become to Mohawk hockey fans the &ldquo;King City&rdquo;. &ldquo;King&rdquo; because, more than any one individual, Coach King Clancy has been responsible for awakening local sport fans to the fact that Cincinnati can, and will, support a professional hockey team and at the same time retain a long-standing devotion to major league baseball, horse racing, boxing and intercollegiate football and basketball.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-01468/2139126-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg" title="f0003-01" width="259" height="417"><figcaption class="caption-body">King Clancy</figcaption></div><p>In their first active year in the AHL a season ago, the Mohawks, like many previous freshmen entries, wound up in the deep freeze of the loop&rsquo;s Western Division. Their record of only 19 wins and 14 ties in the 70-game schedule was depressing to new fans, who, long accustomed to rooting a second-division Reds baseball club, were looking hopefully for a hockey winner that just didn&rsquo;t materialize.</p><h2><b>Can&rsquo;t Understand</b></h2><p>To add to the confusion, Mohawk boosters found it difficult to understand why Cincinnati should be a minor league hockey city while in the baseball world Cincinnati was at least famous for having been the birthplace of the first major league professional club. The affiliation with the Montreal Canadiens, which could draw at will on Clancy&rsquo;s meager supply of talent, was puzzling to local hockey enthusiasts who soon became proud of their team despite its losses but wanted to be big-league from the start.</p><p>Clancy, the colorful former Gas House defenseman of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and later the feared, respected (and possibly the most competent) referee in the National League, offered Cincinnati Garden customers no alibi for the 1949-50 season other than, &ldquo;We tried &mdash; but we just didn&rsquo;t have it. Give us another chance in 1950-51, and I think we&rsquo;ll show you something.&rdquo;</p><p>King has lived up to all his promises in the first two weeks of this season, and the Selke-appointed ambassador of good will from Ottawa has put his Mohawks right on top of the Western Division race by virtue of hard work, sound tactics and a charm endearing him so much to players and fans alike that a proud admirer in the NHL said recently, &ldquo;Clancy is such a nice guy, it&rsquo;s a shame he has to be a hockey coach.&rdquo;</p><p>Sports-minded citizens of Cincinnati who talk about Ew&rsquo;ell Blackwell and Ted Klusewski all summer are now telling one another about the exploits of Ivan Irwin, Jackie Gordon and Ralph Nattrass. Indeed the Canadian national sport, first seen in the new $3,000,000 Garden on February 22, 194 9, has already made its mark.</p><p>Furthermore the ice sport seems destined to stay despite the warning of some diehard skeptics who insist that so-called conservative Cincinnati will require a period of maybe five years or more in which to become as hockey-minded as nearby Indianapolis or upstate Cleveland.</p><p>The second-year Mohawks, says King, who is never too busy to spend more than half of his nongame evenings speaking before large and small civic groups, are apt to wind up in the Calder Cup playoffs next March chiefly because of two factors: 1. the squad is stronger in every position than it was a year ago, and 2. Cincinnati hockey fans, already learned in the rules of the game, have given the club their complete support.</p><p>&ldquo;Our fans are one of the reasons why we click,&rdquo; Clancy explained one day to visiting newsmen. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re terrific, they&rsquo;re loyal &mdash; and they make more noise than I&rsquo;ve ever heard anywhere, even when I was &lsquo;working&rsquo; a game in Chicago!&rdquo;</p><p>Cincinnatians like to be leaders, and the idea that the Mohawks could lead a hockey league has become to them every bit as appealing now as the thought of the Reds sweeping a four-game series from the Dodgers.</p><h2><b>Irwin A Favorite</b></h2><p>Whereas every Cincinnati youngster learns his Reds earned-run averages along with his ABC&rsquo;s, it took a good part of the first hockey season before fans really understood what hockey was all about. When they did learn, you knew it in a hurry. Programs fluttered to the ice, blown on their journey by vehement oaths which once would have caused Referee Clancy to turn scarlet with rage, but which now serve only to reassure Coach Clancy that any player of his charged with first degree murder would have complete backing of Mohawk rooters.</p><p>Of course the fans, like those in every hockey city, have their favorite players. Last year it was Phil Hergesheimer, Tod Campeau, Ivan Irwin, Jimmy Moore and Joe Lepine, with goalie Gerry McNeil joining the select group when he was fortunate enough to have his inexperienced rookie defensemen give him a helping hand instead of concentrating on building up their own careless penalty box time.</p><p>In the present season many of the newcomers to the Clancy squad already have shown evidence of stealing the spotlight from the holdovers. One of the exceptions is Ivan Irwin, the rugged Chicago-born lad who specializes in rough stuff which pays off in aches and bruises for his foes and penalties for himself.</p><p>As a comparison between what he had to work with last year and what he already has this season, King points to defenseman Ralph Nattrass, recently acquired from the Chicago Black Hawks, and Jack Evans, one of the six New York Rangers loaned to Cincinnati In a mid-summer deal.</p><p>&ldquo;Here are a couple of guys,&rdquo; says King, &ldquo;who really play defense for all it&rsquo;s worth. They don&rsquo;t get involved in unnecessary fights, and whenever they have a chance they drive up with the puck and let one of their wingmen fall back on defense. All of our defensemen this year (the others are Bud MacPherson, rookie Ernie Roche, Fred Shero and Irwin) are improved because I&rsquo;ve stressed the importance of getting their assistance on scoring plays.&rdquo; Nattrass proved his coach&rsquo;s point by getting five assists in his first eight games.</p><h2><b>Moore Has Fight</b></h2><p>But there are other popular plays on the new team besides the defensemen. Little Jimmy Moore, switched to center this year, draws applause whenever he takes the puck. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never seen a little guy with so much fight,&rdquo; says Clancy. Then there&rsquo;s the new Ranger line of Fern Perreault, Jackie Gordon and Jean Denis, who accounted for half of the Mohawks 22 goals in their first six games. Although they are new to Cincinnati fans, they have already become favorites.</p><p>Phil Hergesheimer, the team Captain, has lost a little of his speed over the years, but Hergie is still a dangerous man around the enemy goal, and like his teammates Tod Campeau, Gilles Dube and Gerry Plamondon, he is apt to flick in a goal when it&rsquo;s really needed most.</p><p>Goalle Emile Francis, the replacement of Gerry McNeil, is regarded by Clancy as the best net-minder in the AHL.</p><p>A year ago, under the direction of Jack Burke, a Mohawk Booster Club was organized. The Club gave a farewell dinner for the first team, attended by more than 200 members, and the players themselves were amazed at the loyalty shown them by fans whose only reward had been 36 lossea during the 1949-40 season.</p><p>Burke has resigned from the presidency now, but his place has been taken by Joseph Bimesche, assisted by Vice President Robert Goosman, Secretary Josephine Ogilvie and Treasurer Alvera Luken. The group often meets the team returning from road trips, and on game nights a good share of pro-Cincinnati noise comes from Boosters heavily armed with cowbells, whistles, fog horns and other silence breakers. The Boosters are assisted too by the full cooperation of Garden officials, headed by General Manager Alex Sinclair.</p><p>&ldquo;Whatever happens in the months ahead,&rdquo; says realist Clancy, &ldquo;we&rsquo;re going to be fighting all the way. With these wonderful people behind me, and rooting for my boys, there&rsquo;s no reason why Cincinnati can&rsquo;t be the hockey center of the midwest in <b>no</b> time at all. Conservatism &mdash; phooey! These fans (21,000 at the first three home games) want to see us win hockey games; that&rsquo;s all!&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-02375/2139119-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="1720" height="1776"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><i>Pack Wallop For Mohawks</i></p><p><b>four players who have been showing good form for Clancy&rsquo;s Mohawks are top left!

MacPherson showed so well when he was brought up to the Habs that Dick Irvin has decided the bug guy is ready and will keep him in tha National League.</b></p><p><b>MacPherson was recalled from Clancy&rsquo;s Mohawks when a wave of injuries struck the Canadiens.

Passing the Puck

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>The trend toward low scoring games which developed in the first couple of weeks of the season has changed somewhat of late, but the change hasn&rsquo;t affected the Bruins. Boston&rsquo;s energetic National League representatives are still searching for that sustained offense which has eluded them since the first whistle of the year, and Boston fans are asking, &ldquo;What&rsquo;s become of the lively puck?&rdquo;</p><p>They are also wondering if Lynn Patrick is going to meet with failure in his attempt to teach old Bruins new tricks. Patrick has equipped the Bruins with the style of combination play which his father made famous with the New York Rangers, and which he used as coach of the Rangers a year ago. The Bruins, however, have not been able to adapt themselves to their new style.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-10105/2139251-1-eng-US/f0004-102.jpg" title="f0004-10" width="272" height="414"><figcaption class="caption-body">Milt Schmidt</figcaption></div><p>The Bruins were always famous for their wide-open attacking methods, going back to the days of Eddie Shore and the &ldquo;power&rdquo; play. Virtually every member of the present Boston cast was raised in an atmosphere of &ldquo;freedom&rdquo; offenses&mdash;every man for himself and to heck with the team play!</p><h2><b>Teamwork Comes First</b></h2><p>In Patrick&rsquo;s approach to the goal-getting problem, individual ability is secondary to teamwork, and that is contrary to Boston custom.</p><p>Beantown customers have been used to watching their teams score goals&mdash;last year the Bruins were third-high In the league in that department in spite of their fifth place finish&mdash;and they can&rsquo;t reconcile themselves to this unaccustomed &ldquo;hitless wonders&rdquo; role which their team has been filling frequently.</p><p>&ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t the Bruins score more often?&rdquo; is a stock question. The answers are varied.</p><p>The correct explanation, of course, is that the Bruins haven&rsquo;t been able to assimilate thenr new coach&rsquo;s teaching, yet. But, folks ask, shouldn&rsquo;t a coach teach the system best suited to the material at his command?</p><p>&ldquo;Hockey is still a game of individual skills,&rdquo; offered a former player, &ldquo;and more so than any other team game. Every pass that is made outside the attacking zone increases the chances of killing a rally. The Bruins have been trying to pass the puck around too much, and losing it too much.&rsquo;&rsquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I have never seen the Bruins have so few good scoring chances as they have had this year,&rdquo; observed another steady patron. &ldquo;Their good scorers are not getting good shots. That&rsquo;s why they are not scoring.</p><p>&ldquo;Other teams rush the puck toward the goal,&rdquo; said another. &ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t the Bruins? They have fellows like Milt Schmidt and Johnny Peirson who can get it in there. Why all this passing? When Richard gets the puck, he carries it in, doesn&rsquo;t he? And he gets goals.&rsquo;&rsquo;</p><h2><i>He&rsquo;s Working</i></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-1166/2139244-1-eng-US/f0004-112.jpg" title="f0004-11" width="586" height="590"><figcaption class="caption-body">JACK GELINEAU</figcaption></div><p>The Bruins have been escaping general criticism of their punchless getaway, because most of their followers realize the situation, know that they are trying to learn a new way of playing.</p><p>The question is, how long will they continue to escape the written and oral barrages?</p><p>Patrick has made an excellent impression on his Boston constituents during his short tenure, dun in part to the great improvement in the Bruins&rsquo; defensive Play.</p><p>The low goals&rsquo;against figures which Goalie Jack Gelineau and his defenders are compiling have not gone unnoticed, but they haven&rsquo;t offset the fact that the Bruins have been losing&mdash;and not winning&mdash;by their failure to score.</p><p>Hockey fans in Boston are like the baseball fans. If the Braves and Red Sox lose by 11 to lO scores, for example, and Ted Williams or Sid Gordon hit a couple of home runs, the patrons go home talking about the homers, not about the losses.</p><p>The hockey supporters want goals because they are accustomed to goals, and they haven&rsquo;t derived much enjoyment from watching their team being held to few, if any.</p><p>Boston has too many memories of great scorers of other years &mdash; the Dynamite Line, the Kitchener Kids, any two wings with Bill Cowley&mdash;to be satisfied with the present out put.</p><p>The Bruins obviously, have the potential scorers; a comparison of present personnel with past records proves that. But Patrick must find the combination to the safe.</p><p>The young coach has proved conclusively that he has great ability as an organizer and teacher, and that he rates highly as a bench strategist.</p><p>But he must develop an offense, and that looms as the greatest challenge, to him and to his system of offense.</p><h2><b>Bruins Get First Win By Whipping Hobs At Forum</b></h2><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>The Boston Bruins found it hard to climb into the win column, but they finally did it by whipping the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 in Montreal.</p><p>The Bruins went eight straight games without gaining a win. They were playing good hockey but just couldn&rsquo;t put the puck into the net. But againt the Habs it looked as though they were going to make up for all the ones they missed. They took a 2-0 lead at the end of the first period on goals by Peirson and Sandford and then jumped into a 3-0 lead when Ed Harrison flipped a backhander past Gerry McNeil&rsquo;</p><p>However the Habs came roaring back with a couple of goals in the space of seconds and then the Bruins had to go all out to save their win.</p><p>Besides their first win the Bruins have tied three in 10 games and now find themselves only two points back of the fifth place Rangers and five points back of fourth place Chicago.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Bruins Fans Wondering Where “Lively Puck” Is As Scoring Slumps In guest For Comho

<div class="byline">By BOB HESKETH</div><p>TORONTO. Ont.&mdash;</p><p>At a cursory glance there was no evidence to support any argument that the Aloysius Martin Sloan who reported for duty to the Leaf training camp in St. Catharines early last month was the same Aloysius Martin Sloan who, just about a year ago to the day, had been traded off in a player deal Between the Pittsburgh Hornets, the Leaf farm club, and the Cleveland Barons of the American League.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-04255/2139303-1-eng-US/f0005-042.jpg" title="f0005-04" width="262" height="434"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Joe Primeau</b></figcaption></div><p>The Tod sloan who went to the Barons was remembered as an eager but underweight fledging who didn&rsquo;t quite have the wings as yet to fly in the more rarified ozone of the National League. True he was one of the most promising juniors to come out of the hodge-podge since Billy Taylor blazed his way to a (Leaf berth but Sloan seemed reticent to put on any weight. When he signed a pro contract with the Leafs in 1946 he was 18 years of age, he weighed 153 pounds and later less which wasn&rsquo;t enough for his frame, his manners were Quiet and reserved and he seemed to lack any great degree of assurance.</p><h2><b>Can Still Score</b></h2><p>That&rsquo;s why it was hard to match the new Leaf right winger who, at least in the early part of this year&rsquo;s puck wars, seems to be one of the best things that could have happened to lighten the load that Joe Primeau, as new coach of the Leafs, must carry to arrive within smelling distance of the Stanley silverware.</p><p>This Sloan has put on so much poundage that he looks as though he could eat the other one with french fries. Furthermore he&rsquo;s developed an air of assurance, seems to be confident in his own ability and most important hasn&rsquo;t lost his way with a puck which was his unhappy attribute when he was a junior and when four and five goals in one game, though not commonplace with him, weren&rsquo;t new.</p><p>Sloan first raised the eyebrows of the hockey brass here in &rsquo;43-44 when he came down with the Copper Cliff midgets for the All-Ontario midget finals at the Gardens with the Young Leafs. His club was beaten in that game but Sloan scored tour goals.</p><p>Next season Sloan found himself a student at St. Michael&rsquo;s and a second string centre on the Irish&rsquo; club. His best season, in junior ranks was the &rsquo;45-46 one. He set an all time scoring record for the OHA Junior A series with 47 goals and 32 assists over the 28 game schedule for a total of 79 points. That mark, with more games now being played, has since been broken, once by teammate Fleming Mackell. Also in that year Sloan won besides the Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy which goes to the top scorer, the Tilson Memorial Trophy for the player combining ability with sportsmanship. He continued his terrific scoring pace in the playoffs scoring 39 goals and 15 assists for 54 points in 23 playoff games. He scored seven goals in one game and five in three others that season. One of the latter was a Memorial Cup final which St. Michael&rsquo;s won 7-4 over Winnipeg Monarchs in the greatest junior series ever seen here.</p><p>Fate pulls some funny tricks and it was the second leading scorer in that series, Harry Taylor of Winnipeg, who accompanied Sloan along with Ray Ceresino to the Barons in the three for one deal which brought Bobby Solinger, then the sensation of the AHL to the Leaf camp.</p><p>Rabid hockey followers here were sorry to see Sloan go though he hadn&rsquo;t appeared here much except for a brief spell in the &rsquo;48-49 season after which he was sent back to the Hornets. In his three seasons with the farmsters his goal productivity had fallen off. There were opinions about that he was just another hockey player&hellip;a flash in the pan.</p><p>Then came the trade and Conn Smythe, always with an eye to the future and not too anxious to trade off anything that might develop included in the fine print ot the transaction a clause stating that the Leafs should be given the rights to re-purchase any of the three. They were to get first choice.</p><p>Solinger, hindered by an eye injury, didn&rsquo;t set the league on fire with the Hornets. Sloan, with the Barons, promptly proceeded to go crazy.</p><p>Last season he was second to Pat Lundy of the Calder Cup champion Indianapolis Caps in playoff scoring. Single handed he almost sank the Caps&rsquo; hopes but in spite of his record tying 10 goals the Detroit farmsters won the series.</p><h2><b>No Tear For Ez</b></h2><p>He got his break with the Leafs when Bill Ezinicki failed to report on time. Sloan, now on right wing instead of centre, so impressed Smythe with his early work alongside Ted Kennedy that the absence of the hardrock Ez didn&rsquo;t occasion any tears.</p><p>Sloan kept right on Impressing when the shooting started. He scored the only goal against Chicago Black Hawks in the losing Leaf opener. He set up one for Cal Gardner in the Leaf defeat of Boston. In the Leafs 5-0 route of New York back at the Gardens a week ago Saturday he scored one goal and counted one assist. In Chicago the following night when the Leafs beat the Hawks 5-3, he picked up two more goals to become the club&rsquo;s leading goalscorer and tie Maurice Richard for league honors.</p><p>Sloan&rsquo;s way with a puck is a point of wonder to Primeau who has guided the native of Vinton Quebec who now makes his home in Sudbury ever since he hit the Leaf chain.</p><p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s terrific with the puck In the corner,&rdquo; says Gentleman Joe. &ldquo;He&rsquo;ll chase in after it and when he&rsquo;s coming out he&rsquo;ll slip it past whoever&rsquo;s coming to check him then he&rsquo;ll shift past the guy himself.</p><p>&ldquo;Bobby Bauer was the only one that I can remember who could do it as well as Tod and ha did it in a different way. He&rsquo;d sort of pivot around a man. Sloan, though, skates towards his man with his legs spread wide. He has perfect balance. Then when his man makes a move&mdash;whoosh ha&rsquo;g around him on the other side.</p><p>&ldquo;And when he gets that puck he knows where he&rsquo;s going. When he skates down that right side you can see determination in every stride ho makes.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Tod&rsquo;s Past And Present Outfits</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01489/2139296-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="718" height="1204"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-02452/2139289-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg" title="f0005-02" width="685" height="1216"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03365/2139282-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg" title="f0005-03" width="766" height="1207"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Tod Sloan found it a long tough grind up to a permanent spot with the Leafs.

The Forgotten Man Finally Makes Maples Want Him

<p><b>The Hockey News</b></p><p><b>THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY WEEKLY</b></p><p><b>Founded October 1. 1947</b></p><p><b>Published by Hockey News Company, 608A Sun Life Building. Montreal. Que.</b></p><p><b>Yearly Subscription Price S2.50 in Canada &mdash; $3.50 in U.8JI..</b></p><p><b>Authorised as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa. Printed in Canada</b></p><p><b>Vol. 4 November 11, 1950 No. 6</b></p><p>Everyone talks about the weather, as they say, so we might as well join in with a few pertinent thoughts about climatic conditions in the northern half of the continent, and their effect upon hockey. It&rsquo;s a timely topic too, as anyone will agree who has experienced the balmy breezes and coatless weather which has been the rule rather than the exception these past few weeks in the northern United States and Eastern Canada.</p><p>At first glance, the apparent shift in climatic conditions in this neck of the woods doesn&rsquo;t seem to have much bearing on hockey &mdash; at least insofar as it concerns fans who follow the professional teams and the big-time senior and amateur squads.</p><p>After all, these games are played on artificial ice, in spacious arenas where the outside heat doesn&rsquo;t mean much to the customers, execpt that they must strip off more of their outerclothing. It&rsquo;s only in very rare cases that a game has to be cancelled because of the heat, even though play tags along into May among the amateurs.</p><p>So what, then, has the climate got to do with the supply of hockey players? Plenty, so say the men who are working with the youngsters, the future stars of the game, in cities throughout Eastern Canada.</p><p>The fact is, that the urchins of today who must be developed into tomorrow&rsquo;s puckchasers almost without exception get their early training on open rinks, in vacant lots and wherever there is room to lay down a sheet of ice. And these open-air rinks rely on natural ice for their playing surface. Hence, no ice &mdash; no play!</p><p>And that is precisely where the rub comes. For the winters have been so mild of late years that the youngsters don&rsquo;t have the same chance to get in their skating and puck-carrying licks the way they used to.</p><p>Not so many years ago you could rely on a general freeze-up about the fifteenth of November in most Eastern cities, with the ice staying solid well on to the end of March. But that&rsquo;s not the case now.</p><p>Last winter, for instance, thaws followed slight freeze-ups in rapid succession well into the middle of winter. It was practically February before the ice was down to stay. In Monteral, where scores of outdoor rinks are provided for the youngsters, there weren&rsquo;t more than thirty days throughout the entire winter when the ice was really hard enough and fit for topnotch hockey on outside sheets.</p><p>In Toronto the situation was much the same. The kids there play most of their games in older indoor rinks, where natural ice must be relied upon. They too had tough sledding trying to reel off their schedules during the mild winter last year.</p><p>Over the past few years it&rsquo;s been getting progressively milder, with disappointments mounting for the kids who want to get out there and emulate the Rocket Richards, the Ted Lindsays and the Chuck Rayners of the game;</p><p>You can&rsquo;t make hockey players without intensive practice winter after winter from the time the youngsters are old enough to stand on their skates. That&rsquo;s a pretty solid rule, even though you occasionally run across exceptions like Lynn Patrick, now Boston Coach, who didn&rsquo;t learn to skate until a ripe old age but still rose to stardom.</p><p>If you think the lack of ice doesn&rsquo;t hurt, just take a gander at the number of National Hockey League players today who got their start in the big Eastern cities of Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa. You can practically reel them off on your fingers.</p><p>Most of the stars are coming from Western Canada &mdash; traditional home of bitter winters and sub-zero temperatures that keep the natural ice sheets hard as glass &mdash; and smaller places in the colder areas of Eastern Canada.</p><p>If the trend continues, hockey clubs will have to start looking for players in the Far North, where the Eskimos so far have shown no great inclination to take up the pastime seriously!</p><p>A possible solution to the problem may well be at hand, however, just when despair is at its blackest. In Ontario they are experimenting with a cheaper form of gas freezing unit which is adaptable to outdoor rinks. In fact, it can only be used outdoors, since there is a certain amount of gas leakage from the system which makes it too dangerous to use indoors.</p><p>It is planned to install this freezing system to make ice for outdoor rinks. The hope is that it will be possible to keep the ice hard enough for skating even if the temperature climbs above the freezing mark, as it has been doing so often in recent winters<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><p>CHICAGO, Ill.-</p><p>NHL teams have always had their badmen and squad protectors&mdash;their Red Homers and Jimmy Orlandos. But just which of the current squads ranks as the league&rsquo;s penalty champions.</p><p>Records reveal that none other than the Toronto Maple Leafs now hold the dubious honor. Since 1926, when the present National league teams first played together, Leaf teams have sat out a total of 13,523 minutes in penalties in the 1,350 regular season and playoff games in which they have completed.</p><p>This time equals over 225 complete one hour games or almost nine and a halt days. Toronto has averaged 10.02 minutes in penalties per game and 563,37 minutes per season.</p><p>The Montreal Canadiens are a fairly close second to the Maple Leafs. Canuck puck chasers have received 12,219 minutes in penalties in their 1,302 games for a per game average of 9.39 minutes.</p><p>The third ranking team are the New York Rangers who have been penalized 11,163 in 1,302 contests for an average of 8.57 minutes a game.</p><h2><b>Hawks and Wings Close</b></h2><p>Chicago&rsquo;s Black Hawks and the Detroit Red Wings are a very close fourth and fifth respectively. The Hawks have netted 10,198 minutes for misdemeanors in 1,258 games while Red Wing players&rsquo; penalty time totals 10,839 minutes in 1,338 games. Chicago&rsquo;s game average is 8.11 minutes and Detroit&rsquo;s is 8.10 minutes.</p><p>The team with the cleanest penalty record are the Bruins from Boston. Beantown competitors have amassed 10,306 minutes in penalties in the 1,316 games for an average of 7.83 minutes every game.</p><h2><b>COMPLETE RECORD</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-01510/2139441-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="606" height="258"></div><p>In the 1,198 regular season battles played by each of the teams, the Maple Leafs also emerge on top. They have led the other squads in 13 of the past 24 years, last season Toronto players became the first to spend over 800 minutes in rinkside bastiles. Their total of 804 minutes in 70 games is actually almost dwarfed though by the record of 613 minutes in 44 games set by the Leaf team of 1929-30.</p><p>Toronto is followed in regular season penalty records in the same way as it was in the combined standings, the Canadiens rank second, New York third and then in order, Chicago, Detroit and Boston.</p><p>Canadiens teams led all other six times in season penalty records; the Rangers, three times, and Boston and Chicago each once. Detroit has never led the league in penalties in any one season.</p><h2><b>REGULAR SEASON PLAY</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02470/2139434-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="590" height="250"></div><p>In the Stanley Cup playoff games, the high-tensioned rate of play is bore out by the tact that each of the teams has a higher penalty record than in the regular season contests.</p><p>The Canadiens are the leaders in penalties assessed in the playoffs with the Rangers ranking second and Toronto, third. Chicago, Boston and Detroit, in that order, are again the bottom three teams.</p><p>In their 104 cup games, the Montreal puckster spent an average of 11.58 minutes in penalty boxes. This is a noticeable increase over their 9.19 minutes games.</p><p>The Rangers 104 game playoff average in the regular scheduled as compared with their regular season&rsquo;s play average of 8.33 minutes.

Leafs, Habs Lead Loop As Top Penalty Men Since 1928

<div class="byline">By RENO HAHN</div><p>ST. LOUIS, Mo.&mdash;</p><p>It was an unusually hot month for the weather and the Flyers in St. Louis during October. Off to their best start in American Hockey League competition, the Flyers won six, tied one, and lost only once in their first eight games.</p><p>Keeping step with the torrid pace of the Flyers was the attendance. Leading the league, the Flyers drew 39,078 fans to their first five home games, an average of 7,815 per game. That&rsquo;s a better average than last season when 35,146 turned out for the first five.</p><p>Johnny Mitchell, in his first season as coach of the Flyers, has turned out a hustling squad that has attracted the fancy of the fans. The result has been reflected at the gate with the Flyers showing an increase in attendance while most other clubs have been losing fans.</p><h2><b>Not So Dull</b></h2><p>Insisting upon a tighter defensive system, Mitchell has given St. Louis fans something new and they&rsquo;re gobbling it up. The Flyers and Goalie Red Almas own one of the best defensive records in the circuit. While defensive play is sometimes dull, there&rsquo;s nothing dull about the Flyers this season.</p><p>The most exciting game the Flyers played this season was their 2-0 shutout over the Pittsburgh Hornets. The hard bodychecking on both sides and the tenseness of the play resulted in one of the finest games ever played on Arena ice.</p><p>Mitchell took the best of the returning veterans, many of whom were injured last season, blended in three former New Haven players, and added a rookie, Gordon &ldquo;Butch&rdquo; Pearson, to come up with his present squad.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Flyers Outdraw A.H.L. Clubs With Average Of 7,800 Each Game

<div class="byline">By GEORGE DUFFY</div><p>PROVIDENCE, R.I.&mdash;</p><p>American born hockey players are few and far between in the pro hockey ranks but oddly enough, the R.I. Reds, in their 25 years of operations, have had a trio of Americans.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02474/2139503-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="286" height="452"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Frank Brimsek</b></figcaption></div><p>The third, Al Bentley, a 23-year-old high school product from North Providence, is currently the spare goalie of the Reds. Before him, were Frankie Brimsek and Mike Karakas. Oddly enough, all three Americans who have served with the Reds, played goal.</p><p>North Providence High School is located only a few miles from R.I. Auditorium, the home of the Reds. In fact, if one were to go atop the roof of the school and peer in an Easterly direction, it would be possible to catch, a glimpse of R.I. Auditorium on North Main Street in Providence.</p><p>Back in 1944, Bentley graduated from North Providence and some time during his undergraduate days, Al must have made his way to the roof and looked towards the East. Since he left school, Al has been at R.I. Auditorium constantly and currently, the rugged lad is serving as spare goalie under contract for the second consecutive year.</p><h2><b>Brimmie His Pattern</b></h2><p>It was back in 1938 that Bentley made up his mind to be a goalie. The Reds were practising and he was impressed with a fellow named Brimsek, goalie for Providence during the 1937-38 season. As we all know, Brimsek was to become hockey&rsquo;s &ldquo;Mr. Zero&rdquo; with the Boston Bruins.</p><p>Brimsek was born in Eveleth, Minnesota. Karakas, the other American to don pads for Providence, was born in Aurora, Minnesota, and he too served as an inspiration to Bentley. Karakas, who was in and out of the net for over 15 years, was with. Providence during 1946-47 and Bentley was always around, asking &ldquo;Iron Mike&rdquo; for tips on guarding the cage.</p><p>Most young fellows are always ready to give dear old Ma a pat on the back for helping fashion a career and Bentley is one of these. While at North Providence, Ma Bentley, 48 years of age, helped coach the schoolboys. An enthusiastic hockey follower, she occasionaly had the squad to her home for meetings at which she offered advice to the young schoolboys about the game of hockey. Coming from an expert like Ella Bentley, the advice was graciously accepted.</p><p>At the moment, young Mr. Bentley lives in Centredale, R.I. He recently married his high school sweetheart and also recently returned from a season of pro baseball. Property of the Cleveland Indians, Al played third base during the past season for Berwick, Pa. in the North Atlantic League.</p><p>As a schoolboy hockey goalie, Bentley was selected as the AllRhode Island goaltender in 1943 and 1944. His sensational play attracted much attention and it was no surprise to anyone when Bentley began working out with the Reds after graduation.</p><h2><i>Looks For a Chance</i></h2><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01544/2139496-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="1153" height="1531"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>AL BENTLEY&hellip;&hellip;North Providence product.</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Hometown Boy Red Spare, Maybe Third Yank Goalie

<div class="byline">By CHARLES W. KELLOGG</div><p>NEW HAVEN, Conn.&mdash;</p><p>It is apparent now that Frank Beisler, coach of the new-born New Haven Eagles, is a prophet of note, if not honor, in his home town. Murmuring into a center-ice mike at the opening game of the American Hockey League season here, the Connecticut-born former New York Amerks defenseman warned that &ldquo;Rome wasn&rsquo;t built in a day. It may take us a little longer with this hockey club.&rdquo;</p><p>The collection of veteran AHL and USHL players under his command may have taken his words too seriously&mdash;they proceeded to lose their first six starts before finally pulling out a 4-3 victory over the Providence Reds on October 26.</p><p>However, neither Beisler nor general manager Jacob Podoloff, brother of the AHL president, are discouraged. They figure they&rsquo;ve got a team of seasoned pros who will hit their stride with a little added conditioning and they&rsquo;re counting on rookie netminder Allyn Millar, a standout last season with the Quebec Aces of the Quebec Senior League, to do a better-than-average job behind the veterans.</p><p>As a matter of fact, Podoloff is on record as having turned down a Buffalo trade offer of Connie Dion for Millar before the season started. &ldquo;We had Millar scouted as thoroughly as any rookie ever was scouted,&rdquo; Podoloff says, &ldquo;and the general opinion is that he is of definite major league calibre.&rdquo;</p><p>The youthful goalie, property of the Detroit Red Wings, is on loan to the Eagles for one season only. He&rsquo;s had a rough time of it so far. In his first three games he allowed 20 goals to get past him&mdash;yet against a vaunted Cleveland attack he stopped the Barons except for three goals on which he had virtually no chance.</p><p>After the Cleveland affair, he became shaky again and gave up eight to Buffalo, nine to Hershey and seven to Springfield for a total of 44 goals in six games.</p><p>Just about to give up on Millar, the Eagles&rsquo; front office tried hard for a trade prior to the Oct. 26 game against the Reds, but failed. Meanwhile some of the veterans on the club were talking to the youngster and their work was rewarded when he made 48 saves in that game.</p><p>This New Haven team, formed at Fort Erie this Fall, replaces the New York Rangers farm team, which had operated here for four seasons with indifferent success both in the league standings and at the box office.</p><p>Composed of players from a half-dozen or more sources, it didn&rsquo;t reach full complement in time for any exhibition games and had only three full drills prior to the opener against Buffalo.</p><p>The names on the roster are familiar in AHL and USHL circles.</p><p>The centers are all veterans&mdash;Johnny Holota from the Barons, Wally Stefaniw from Cincinnati and Ernie Trigg from the St. Louis Flyers. The defensemen all have a previous record in pro circles&mdash;Bob Blake from Cincinnati, Frank Melong from St. Louis, Frank (Red) Kane, Johnny Jackson and Joe Conn, the latter by way of Cleveland.</p><p>Wingers include veterans Billy Summerhill, the former Philadelphia and Springfield star, Ed (Whitey) Prokop, also a veteran of several seasons in the league with Springfield and Providence; Tommy Cooper, who played under Beisler when the latter was a Buffalo coach; Ray Manson, sole holdover from the Ramblers; Sam Mulholland, who saw service in Philadelphia and later in the USHL; Buck Jones, of Eddie Shore&rsquo;s squad, and Jumping Joe Krahulec. Only first year rookie on the forward wall is Nick Tomiuk, out of the Ontario senior ranks.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Fledgling Eagles Sure To Start Rolling Soon, Top Brass Is Confident

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Tornato Maple Leafs continued their torrid pace during the week winning twice and drawing once.

Max Bentley Takes Over Top Rung Of NHL Scorers

He finished out the season with a record of 197 goals to his credit, three shy of entering the 200 goal column. But when Goodfellow was appointed coach to take over from Roy&rsquo;s brother Chuck the first thing he did was send the younger Conacher a contract. It was just a chance, and the fact that he needed three goals to be inscribed into the golden book was enough to moke him change his mind and go back to the wars for another crack.</b></p><p><b>Conacher started off the season with two thoughts in mind, first of course was to help the Hawks and secondly, to hit the 200 goal mark. The Howks opened in Montreal and played to a 3-3 tie. Roy notched a goal and needed only two to realize his goal. But those two goals eluded him until November 2 when the Hawks triumphed over the Boston Bruins 5-2. Roy scored a pair and became a 200 goal scorer. When he hit the 200 mork he became tied with Hooley Smith who ended his career with that number.

Norm Corcoran, Red Sullivan and John McIntyre.</b></p></figcaption></div><p>HERSHEY, Pa.&mdash;</p><p>As long as there has been ice hockey there has been a &ldquo;kid line&rdquo; somewhere in the picture. And the most threatening threesome of this year&rsquo;s pro ranks can be found right here in Hershey in a terrific trio composed of George Sullivan, Norman Corcoran and John McIntyre.</p><p>The rookies &mdash; Sullivan has a slight edge over his wingers, having turned pro less than a year ago, and his flankers just last month &mdash; already have been compared to that most famous of all kid lines, Primeau, Conacher and Jackson. Those icemen turned pro together and went on to fame and fortune with the Toronto Maple Leafs.</p><p>By the same token the three Chocolateers got their amateur training on the same forward line with the St. Catharines TeePees and Corcoran was imported from St. Michael&rsquo;s especially to team up with the other two. They played together until Sullivan was sent to Hershey last winter after signing a contract with the Boston Bruins.</p><p>The centerman was loaned to the Bruins at the end of the regular American League season last year, and McIntyre and Corcoran sent down to Beantown after their season closed, but in the few games they played for the Bruins their trio was broken. Sullivan and McIntyre stayed together with Topper Toppazzini as the other winger, and Corcoran was lined up with Dave Creighton and Phil Maloney. They were reunited as a line at training camp here this season.</p><p>&ldquo;Kid lines&rdquo;, as such, are not news to Hershey fans. There&rsquo;s the popular &ldquo;Kraut&rdquo; line of some seasons back, Dumart, Schmidt and Bauer, of Boston&rsquo;s system, seen many times in pre-season games in Central Pennsylvania. Then, there&rsquo;s Paul Ronty, Kenny Smith and Johnny Peirson, who got their pro starts in Bearlivery, playing together as a line. That trio is still intact, doing top scoring for Boston the last two seasons.</p><p>Sullivan, who asks &ldquo;please call me Red&rdquo;, spearheads the speedy line, and to date has compiled the club&rsquo;s top individual scoring record with 14 points composed of three goals and 11 assists. Corky, on the right wing, has five goals and five assists for ten points, while &ldquo;Jake&rdquo; has racked up a trio of goals and five assists for eight points.</p><h2><b>Delightful to Watch</b></h2><p>Delightful to watch for their speed and stickhandling ability, the youngsters have time after time in this young season thrilled the crowds by their enthusiasm. No matter where they are on the ice, when one of their number gets a goal the other two rush.&rsquo; up and hug the scorer. Incidentally, it is just the kind of enthusiasm, missing for several years in the Bear squad, that has infected the entire aggregation and apparently brought new life and spirit, obvious in the early-season record.</p><p>Red is the youngest of eight children, a native of Peterboro, Ont. As far back as he can remember he&rsquo;s played hockey, traveling up through the traditional midget, junior, senior and amateur ranks. He enjoys golf and softball during the summer months, and his greatest thrill in his hockey career was during the Memorial Cup play-offs in 1949. Red banged three goals into Oshawa In two and a halt minutes, giving St. Catharines an 8-5 victory.</p><p>As to the right winger of the line, Corcoran is a native of the big city of Toronto. Naturally his biggest thrill was scoring the hat trick of three goals, October 21 in the battle of Hershey and New Haven here. It was not only his first hat trick of his pro career, but the first for the Hershey club this year. Corky has two brothers, both of whom have played hockey, but have not made it a lifetime business, as he hopes to do. One, Ray, was with St. Mike&rsquo;s. The winger enjoys lacrosse, playing rover on the team which won the junior championship of Canada.</p><p>The only married one of the trio is McIntyre, whose bride of nine months is a stenographer in St. Catharines. Jake was chosen on the All-Star team last spring by Ontario Junior Hockey League sportwriters. His summertime fun is baseball, and as long as he can remember he&rsquo;s wanted to play hockey. Jake&rsquo;s mother, the former Bertha Welsh, was a championship speed skater in Canada, and his father is a former hockey player, so McIntyre comes by his skating ability naturally.

Corcoran, Sullivan And McIntyre Boston Bound

<div class="byline">By GEORGE CARSON</div><p>ST. LOUIS, Mo.&mdash;</p><p>Some hockey players spend half their time kidding and joking with team-mates, but to Alfred Baccari, brilliant right wing playing his sophomore season with the St. Louis Flyers, hockey&rsquo;s a serious business.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-01540/2139765-1-eng-US/f0011-012.jpg" title="f0011-01" width="270" height="420"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Cliff Simpson</b></figcaption></div><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s my bread and butter&rdquo;, Baccari explains, and when you watch his actions on the ice, you know he&rsquo;s dead earnest about making hockey a business.</p><p>It&rsquo;s been a boyhood ambition of Al&rsquo;s to play hockey in St. Louis with the Flyers and in Chicago with the Black Hawks, and veteran hockey observers believe it won&rsquo;t be long before Baccari will get his chance to make good in Chicago.</p><h2><b>Simpson Boosts Him</b></h2><p>Take it from none other than the little Italian&rsquo;s linemate, Center Cliff Simpson, who says: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll bet Baccari will be with the Hawks before the finish of the season. I don&rsquo;t see how he can miss.&rdquo;</p><p>Baccari has everything it takes to be a successful forward. He shows lots of speed, hustle and drive and above all, he has the ability to put the puck in the net. Lots of forwards have the speed and drive and look like fancy dans with the stick, but not all can lay the disc into the cords.</p><p>Last winter the five-foot, seven-inch speedster didn&rsquo;t join the Flyers until Christmas time, but once on the scene he made his presence felt. Other players competed in 70 games, but Alf in only 36. However, in 36 games he popped in 22 goals and assisted in 31 others for the amazing total of 53 points, an average of 1.47 a game.</p><p>Playing on a line with Simpson and Capt. Billy McComb, both of whom have helped ham a lot, Baccari modestly admits. Al was the fifth leading scorer on the club for the 194 9-50 season, despite the fact that he played in only about half of the Flyers&rsquo; games. Simpson was he leader wih 83 points, and linemate McComb second with 81. Besides those, only Barry Sullivan and Lloyd Doran topped Baccari in point-total, and neither by many. Sullivan in 69 games had 57 points, Doran in 70 made 56.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-02493/2139758-1-eng-US/f0011-022.jpg" title="f0011-02" width="496" height="1253"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>Flys</b></p><p><b>ALF BACCARI</b></p></figcaption></div><p>There was one stretch of games in the waning days of the 1949-50 season as the Flyers were battling for a coveted play-off spot that the Baccari-Simpson-McComb line parried the club. Baccari himself saw his total increase steadily, game ny game. He didn&rsquo;t get his goals in spurts of three and four at a time, but in 36 games there were only seven times that he was shut out completely without a goal or an assist. Frequently he would get four goals in five games, often five points in two or three contests.</p><h2><b>Explains Speed</b></h2><p>Fans often have wondered how Al digs in for that &ldquo;extra&rdquo; bit of speed he seems to have as he glides toward the opposing goal.</p><p>&ldquo;I give it an extra push just before I hit the blue line&rdquo; the little Italian winger explains. &ldquo;That way I&rsquo;m going my fastest just after crossing the blue line and I can power away in full stride to the goal.&rdquo;</p><p>Coach Johnny Mitchell of theFlyers is looking for great things from Baccari and points out that Freddie, as Baccari is affectionately known among his teammates, is some 20 pounds lighter this winter than last. A year ago the lad scaled about 18 5, which was quite a bit of avoirdupois for a five-seven frame. This fall he checked into St. Louis weighing only 165.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-03420/2139751-1-eng-US/f0011-032.jpg" title="f0011-03" width="276" height="424"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Billy McComb</b></figcaption></div><p>Now 22 years Billy McComb old and one of the most promising players in the American League, Baccari has been playing competitive hockey for eight years. Besides playing at school in Fort William, Ontario, Alf came up at the unusually young age of 14 to play with the Port Arthur Flyers.</p><p>He weighed 120 pounds in those days and got pushed around aplenty from beefier athletes, but the experience he gained while playing as a teen-ager helps tremendously now. Signed for the St. Louis Flyers by Chief Scout Ed Lauzon, Baccari made his first trip to the American League in 1946-47, when only 18 years old.</p><h2><b>Served At Oakland</b></h2><p>After appearing in only a few games here, he was farmed out to Oakland, on the Pacific Coast, where he was a teammate of Steve Black and Pop Backor, among others. Not always too happy on the Coast, perhaps because he was used frequently to &ldquo;kill&rdquo; penalties, Baccari returned to his Ontario home for the 1947-48 season, helping the West End Bruins of Port Arthur win the Memorial Cup in stiff amateur competition.</p><p>There was a year with Fresno, another Flyer farm club, and then a call to St. Louis at Christmas one winter ago, when Baccari started his big professional drive that helped land the Flyers in the playoffs.</p><p>Like most other hockey players, Baccari has had his share of bruises and bumps. The first year he played he was knocked out by a blow on the head and didn&rsquo;t regain consciousness for 20 minutes. His nose has been broken five times.</p><p>But Alf&rsquo;s most embarrassing moment happened in junior hockey up in Port Arthur. Just as he swung a hard shot and lighted the red light for a goal, bis pants fell down!<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Bambino Baccari Brilliant With Flyers And Someday Hopes To Make Hawks

<div class="byline">By ISI NEWBORN</div><p>(Cleveland Press)</p><p>CLEVELAND, O.&mdash;</p><p>Charles Henry McVeigh has been booed for the last time by hockey crowds throughout the American Hockey League.</p><p>McVeigh, better known as &ldquo;Rabbit,&rdquo; has retired as a referee.</p><p>The little guy, dean of the league&rsquo;s referees, laid aside his whistle because he could no longer obtain repeated leaves of absence from the Ford Motor Co. in Detroit where he is an employee of long standing. And the league has lost one of the finest, most colorful characters in its history.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-04344/2139796-1-eng-US/f0011-042.jpg" title="f0011-04" width="266" height="420"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Babbit McVeigh</b></figcaption></div><p>McVeigh&rsquo;s officiating career began in 1936-37, the same year the AHL was formed.</p><p>Although he was long considered the circuit&rsquo;s best official, the Rabbit&rsquo;s lot through, the years like that of all referees, was the seething hate of hockey fans everywhere. From Providence to St. Louis he was booed on sight. Because he had been around longest, he was the most loudly hooted man in the league.</p><p>To all the vocal abuse, the Rabbit would reply with a disdainful grin. He was fearless. He seemed callous to the fan&rsquo;s hate and the anger of players.</p><p>But few knew that behind this callous exterior was a devoted family man who was taking all this for just one reason&mdash;to provide constant care for a daughter afflicted with an incurable ailment, and for a wife who was also suffering a protracted illness.</p><p>Some of his whistle-tooting colleagues knew about it.</p><p>&ldquo;The Rabbit has earned a fortune from refereeing all these years,&rdquo; one of them recently said. &ldquo;But he doesn&rsquo;t have any of it. Every dollar has gone for medical care for his wife and daughter.&rdquo;</p><p>McVeigh would have been a National League referee but for a contractual commitment which prevented it when the chance arose years ago. Prior to this, he had been a player from 1921-22 through tho 1935-36 season, mostly with the Chicago Black Hawks and New York Americans in the NHL.</p><p>In the mid-twenties, while playing with Portland, Ore., an opponent came charging savagely at McVeigh one night. McVeigh hopped over him like a rabbit.</p><p>&ldquo;From now on, your name is Rabbit!&rdquo; announced the Portland coach, Pete Muldoon.</p><p>It&rsquo;s been Rabbit ever since.</p><p>For all his thick-skinned manner, McVeigh had a sense of humor unsurpassed in the refereeing profession. Once, Les Cunningham of the Barons took a dive in hope of drawing a tripping penalty upon an opponent. McVeigh, with a scornful laugh at the fallen Cunningham, made a swimming motion with his arms and skated away.</p><p>In an eastern rink one night McVeigh was getting some sass from a player who had just been given a two-minute penalty. At that moment a deck of playing cards was thrown, among other debris, by the crowd onto the ice.</p><p>The ref gathered up the cards and handed them to the irate player. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m giving you an extra 10 minutes for misconduct. Have yourself a nice game of solitaire!&rdquo;</p><p>Tales about McVeigh are legion in hockeydom. Some of them concern his hearing which became impaired as result of wounds suffered at Vimy Ridge in 1917 while serving with the Canadian armed forces in World War 1. Word got around the hockey circuit that the Rabbit couldn&rsquo;t hear.</p><p>Bill Cook, who coached the Barons prior to 1943-44, informed his star winger, Peggy O&rsquo;Neil, one night about the Rabbit&rsquo;s hearing.</p><p>Shortly afterward, O&rsquo;Neil was thumbed off the ice for tripping. Secure in his newly gained knowledge, O&rsquo;Neil turned upoon the ref with a withering; &ldquo;You blind&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;!</p><p>&ldquo;I heard THAT!&rdquo; interrupted the Rabbit. &ldquo;And it&rsquo;ll cost you an extra 10 minutes for misconduct and a $25 fine!&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By TED RANDOLPH</div><p>ST. PAUL, Minn.&mdash;</p><p>There is no truth to the story that they are thinking of renaming the United States Hockey League the Giesebrecht circuit or something similar.</p><p>However, it is no secret that the Giesebrecht boys&mdash;Jackie with Denver and Bert and Bruce at Omaha&mdash;are making like they own every goalie in the circuit.</p><p>After three weeks of competition statistics show the Giesebrechts have a hand in every important scoring deal. Bruce and Jackie are tied for most goals, with six apiece. Bruce shows the way in total points with 9. To make the family domination complete Bert is tied with Kansas City&rsquo;s Andy Brown with most assists. They have six apiece.</p><p>Jackie and Bruce are also among the select few with &ldquo;hat tricks&rdquo;.</p><p>Of the three Jack, the oldest, has been campaigning in the pro ranks the longest. He turned pro in 1947-48 with Houstons USHL champions. The following season he played with a championship outfit&mdash;San Diego in the PCHL. Last campaign he was with Louisville where he produced 41 goals. Always a standout goal getter, he got 36 big first year as a pro and 31 his second. That along with last year&rsquo;s total of 41 gives him 108 for three campaigns in the pro ranks. With any kind of a break this season he may surpass last year&rsquo;s brilliant effort.</p><h2><i>Goals</i></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-04238/2139879-1-eng-US/f0012-042.jpg" title="f0012-04" width="582" height="592"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>BRUCE GIESEBRECHT</b></figcaption></div><p>Younger brothers Bert and Bruce are a lot newer to the pro game, but they are making their presence felt. As freshmen in the USHL last season both came along reasonably well. Bert was the best scorer of the two with 27 goals to 19 for brother Bruce. On the basis of this season&rsquo;s early play Bruce looks like the big goal getter of the Omaha part of the Giesebrecht clan.</p><p>Chances of the three brothers winding up on the same team in the future aren&rsquo;t good, but the idea still provides a good afternoon of talking. About the only fellows who wouldn&rsquo;t like such a concentration of Giesebrechts would be opposing goalies. And you can see their point without looking twice.</p><p>It is very probable that the three boys will total well over 100 goals this season to beat the mark of 87 they hit last campaign&mdash;quite a contribution for one family.

Mike Dzuira was removed from the Flick and Roth line to team up with Bobby Wrightsell and Maurice Levesque, two front line rookies sent from the Lakehead to Kitchener by Baldy Cotton, head scout of the Boston Bruins.</p><p>Harvey Jacklin, a defenseman by trade, took over Dzuira&rsquo;s old spot and along with Flick and Roth made his debut impressive against St. Michael&rsquo;s College despite the 5-1 defeat tagged on to the Dutchmen by the Irish in their home opening at Maple Leaf Gardens&hellip; For extra defensive protection, Doug Chapman &mdash; who starred in junior hockey with Toronto Young Rangers and Oshawa Generals &mdash; was signed and Joe Ripku, another Lakehead rookie, teamed up with Bingo Kampman behind the blue line.</p><p>Hamilton Tigers have come up with a promising defense prospect in Dougie Maher, but Peter Pidsodney is a question mark at present. Only Carl Smelle and Polly Miocinovich of last year&rsquo;s crew are available for front line duty&hellip; Several rookies are being tried out including Frank Eisenzoph,, Gordon Cruickshank, Gordon Hammond and &ldquo;Specs&rdquo; Peebles working up front with Johnny and Abbie Conick, Frank Liscombe, Murray Comfort and Tommy Smelle of last year&rsquo;s outfit.</p><p>Both Marlboros and St. Michael&rsquo;s are pleasantly surprised over the success obtained in early games by their respective goalies, Eddie Rafferty and Phil Hughes. Both lads started as question marks. However, the former Port Colborne junior has more than filled the bill in the nets for Marlboros. He came up with a rousing first game in holding the Dutchmen to a single goal on their home ice at the Waterloo Arena.</p><p>Neither Marlboros and St. Michael&rsquo;s didn&rsquo;t escape from player injuries. Al Buchanan of Dukes wrenched his knee in the Waterloo game and had to miss a few games. Johnny Ubriaco, peppy center-player for the Irish ran into a high stick during an exhibition game at Stouffville to come up with a badly swollen eye and a cut on the forehead. Matt Mesieh, Irish defenseman, figures the hockey season is now officially underway since he has had two deep forehead cuts. I&rsquo;m always getting half-scalped during the schambles&rdquo;, he moans, &ldquo;the penalty of being the shortest guy out there.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>The Lesser Lights</b></h2><p>Commercial hockey is budding around the Greater Toronto area.

It was also the first time that the Ironmen had nine goals scored against then since October 16th, 1948 when New Westminster beat them 12-4</p><h2><b>He&rsquo;s Semi-Conscious</b></h2><p>The condition of Dutch Evers continues to improve, however, he is still In a semi-conscious condition. Dr. Hobson reports that the pressure on the brain has been relieved, but the damage to the brain is serious and It will be a long slow process before he is out of danger.</p><h2><b>HOW THE RACE GOES</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0017-01289/2140209-1-eng-US/f0017-012.jpg" title="f0017-01" width="610" height="262"></div><h2><b>RESULTS OF GAMES</b></h2><p>Oct. 24&mdash;New West&rsquo;er 3.

Jim Fairburn and Frank Kubasek. of Portland, and Bobby Love, of New Westminster, share player of the week honors as each gained 5 points last week. Kirk is also the leading goal getter with 10 goals and shares the playmakers honors with Walt Samaneki, of Portland, each having 10 assists. Norm Gustavsen, Tacoma defenseman. took over the &lsquo;bad man&rsquo; honors with 37 minutes in penalties against him in 11 games.</p><p>Bobby Love, of New Westminster, picked up his second hat trick of the season when he netted three goals against Tacoma Wednesday in New Westminster.</p><p>Normie Kirk, of New Westminster, was the first player of the season to score on an empty net. The Royal stylist scored In the unattended net Saturday in New Westminster against Vancouver when Coach Bill Carse pulled his goalie with the New Westminster club short handed, due to a penalty, in an effort to get the tying marker.</p><p>Portland&rsquo;s youth movement has paid off to date and if the Eagles continue their winning ways they may set the pattern for a youth movement within the league. Coach Tony Hemmerling has his club hustling all the time and has just enough veterans Wrinkled with his youngsters to give them balance. They are off to a good start and may be hard to overtake. The Eagles won all three games they played last week to take over first place with 16 points, one more than the New Westminster Royals who hold second place. The Royals won two, tied one and lost a game the past week. Tacoma moved into third place with 10 points, winning two of the three games they played last week. Victoria shook the basement dust climbing to fourth place with a victory and a tie in their four games during the past week. Vancouver, losing all three games played, dropped to fifth spot and the homeless Seattle Ironmen lost two games to drop to the basement.</p><p>Only seven games are scheduled for this week. Victoria, Portland and Tacoma will see action in three games each. Seattle and New Westminster twice and Vancouver once. Both games scheduled in Seattle will have to be postponed until later in the season.

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By ACE FOLEY</div><p>HALIFAX, N. S.,&mdash;</p><p>The big news in the Maritimes in the early season is furnished almost nightly by Murph (Hardrock) Chamberlain. His Prince Edward Islanders have won nine straight Big Four League games, show no signs of cracking. They have littered the penalty boxes but it hasn&rsquo;t hurt their goal production.</p><p>Murph&rsquo;s style of play is setting a new pattern in the Big-Four. Until this season the Biff Four had featured the classic plays, the swift skating and the slick pattern plays. Now there&rsquo;s a difference. His Islanders are playing smash-and-grab hockey, have been so successful the others are adopting it. Slowly, in some cases, but it&rsquo;s coming.</p><p>Since the Islanders are far ahead at this stage and still skating and checking like madmen, the others are working furiously to build up their ranks. New players are arriving in batches. The casualty lists are long but the ranks are filled up almost as fast as they are depleted.</p><h2><b>Santamarians Building</b></h2><p>Leading in the race for new faces is the Halifax club. President Vic Gland is sparing no expense to give Halifax anomer winner. He is going out for bigger and bigger players, bewest edition is big Ed Brown, the one-eyed defenseman who was an All-Star with Glace Bay Miners last season. Brown is a colorful character and a producer, both on the backline and with his scoring shot. He joins giants like Cy Thomas and Hughie Campbell in the effort to maintain the pressure over the long haul.</p><p>Chamberlain not only has the roughest team in the league but it&rsquo;s aso the fastest. The boys skate like madmen both ways. Veteran players who like to pace themselves find that the Hard Rock doesn&rsquo;t like men who don&rsquo;t skate all out at all time.</p><p>Moncton Hawks brought in another veteran in Charlie Phillips, and two days after his debut the Monctonians posted their first league victory after eight consecutive defeats. Phillips was very much in the limelight, with a goal and an assist.</p><p>After two weeks one notes that Charlottetown has the fastest and roughest team and Halifax the heaviest. The Islanders got in more early practice, had their team &ldquo;set&rdquo; before the others. Consequently they are soaring early. But it promises to be a stern race over the long route, the longest in Big Four history.</p><h2><b>Looks Familiar Here!</b></h2><p>Down Cape Breton way the league got off to a belated start and Sydney Millionaires soon settled into a familiar spot atop the league standings. Bill Dinning, the old Hamilton Tigers stalwart, seems to have another powerhouse. Most of the opposition will come from Sweeney Schriner&rsquo;s North Sydney Victorias.</p><p>There is a noble experiment going on at the Northside. Late last season Schriner was outspoken on many points. He said the Cape Breton clubs were paying too much for what they were getting. He&rsquo;d like to see the money spent more wisely. If he came back he&rsquo;d have the kind of team he liked best, and it wouldn&rsquo;t cost as much.</p><p>Well, Schriner is back, with &ldquo;his kind&rdquo; of team. And down Cape Breton way they think the new Schriner outfit is going to take a lot of beating.</p><p>Glace Bay got off the track slowly. For a while last fall it looked as if the Miners wouldn&rsquo;t choose to skate. But new backers came to the rescue and the Miners are back in the running. On early returns they didn&rsquo;t rate as highly as Millionaires or Victorias. But hopes run high in Canada&rsquo;s biggest town.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Murph’s Ruffians Setting New Style Of Play In Big 4

<div class="byline">By VINCE LEAH</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0018-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0018-01296/2140264-1-eng-US/f0018-012.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>LES DOUGLAS, of Cleveland, left, and GEORGE MILLIGAN of St. Louis, were presented with trophies in St. Louis recently. Douglas, the high-scoring forward of the Barons, and Milligan, steady defenseman of the Flyers, are shown proudly displaying their silverware.</b></figcaption></div><p>WINNIPEG, Man.&mdash;</p><p>This is as good a time as any to warn you not to bet the family homestead on a Manitoba team winning the Memorial Cup, emblematic of our national junior hockey championship. But we can tell you that Manitoba&rsquo;s eventual representative next spring should make it interesting for all concerned before bowing out.</p><p>Manitoba&rsquo;s juniors are not too generously sprinkled with breathtaking standouts of the Moore, Masnick, Armstrong type, but the Monarchs of Walter Monson, with quite a few of 1949-50&rsquo;s boys back again, look like the business after getting off to a four-game unbeaten streak, including a surprise 4-2 win over Brandon Wheat Kings right in the Wheaties&rsquo; fearful Tenth Street bailiwick.</p><p>Brandon has been virtually stripped of the stars of the past two seasons when they won the provincial title. Canadiens have a young team, long on hustle and short on experience. They have captured the imagination with their remarkable desire after the disappointing showing last term. Black Hawks are floundering in last place and at this stage do not appear headed for any remarkable heights in the new campaign.</p><p>While the Monarchs lost Chuck Lumsden to Toronto Marlboros, the purple squad has come up with some remarkable newcomers such as diminutive Ross Parke, who is another Dewar Thomson. (Thomson is now with Montreal senior Royals) Ron Stephenson, a St. John&rsquo;s College product, Jimmy Shoesmith, Terry Hannah, Blair Mitchell from Brandon (of all places) and the first Negro in Manitoba hockey since 1905, tall Alfred Lewsey.</p><p>Lewsey, all-arounder in baseball, basketball and football, performed in Fort William last season, although he is a North Winnipeg lad.</p><h2><b>Goalies Fight It Out</b></h2><p>Don Collins and Len Caley are both back in goal and have been alternating as Monson probably tries to find out who is best. Bill Burega and Johnny Riley are back on the blueline. Burega has been a standout in early season performances, while Laurie Mitchell, Jim Zarie, Elliott Chorley, Bruce Bell, Johnny Novak and Dave Trainor are returnees. Strangely enough they were slow in starting but are gradually finding their true form. Ron Barr from Black Hawks also is with the Regals.</p><p>Brandon has defensemen Dune McLennan, Bill Allison and Ron Maxwell back from last season and forwards Ron Rohmer and Jim Young up front. Rohmer has teamed with Leo Mailey, a fleet youth from Trail, B.C., and Adolph Kukulowicz, the six-foot whiz all the pro scouts have been chasing on a really cracking first line.</p><p>In goal, Minneapolis Jim Mattson has been battling it out with Gordon Hunter, last year&rsquo;s reserve netman from Wawanesa, Man. Mattson was sensational in losing to Monarchs. Frank Arnett from Carman, Man., looks good on defense and Neepawa&rsquo;s Murray Wilkie and a local lad, Phil Hilton, have gone good up front. Bill Maslanko from Canadiens also is on the roster.</p><p>Canadiens have Jack Thomson, Len Sigurdson, Gordon Kerr, Gerry Wilde and Gordon Pankhurst back from last season&rsquo;s team. Bright stars of the squad have been red-headed Len Thomson and energetic Barry Thorndycraft. Other kids in red, white and blue include Eddie Merriam, Gary Blaine, Walt Macauley, Gerry Cariou and Ab Bruce. Hal Dalkie is in goal.</p><h2><b><i>Collecting Silverware</i></b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></h2>
