<p>ST. PAUL, Minn&mdash;</p><p>The revolution is on in the United States Hockey League.</p><p>Through games of Nov. 5 &ldquo;home teams&rdquo; in the USHL show a deficit.

They scored a victory in their only home appearance.</p><p>Four teams&mdash;Milwaukee, St. Paul, Kansas City and Tulsa&mdash;all show deficits. The Saints have won one of three, Kansas City two of five, Tulsa one of three and Milwaukee one of four. The Sea Gulls have played two ties on homo ice.</p><p>While the &ldquo;home teams&rdquo; have failed to maintain a winning average, the league race as a whole is living up to pre-season estimates. So far the league has shown good balance. An idea of the evenness can be seen in Kansas City&rsquo;s move from the cellar to second place in a week&rsquo;s time. The Royals won four in a row in the stretch.</p><p>Coach Clint Smith of the hockey Saints is trying something new killing penalties&hellip; This season he is using three front liners and one defenseman most of the time when the Saints are a man short.

Home Ice No Dice

<p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>In three of the four National Hockey League All-Star games that have been played to date Billy Mosienko has seen action.</p><p>In his first game he broke his ankle and was sidelined from play for a major part of the season. That was in 1947. He missed the second game but was in action in the third and fourth games.</p><p>In his career he has failed to make a first team in the official All-Star choices as picked by the coaches but twite he has found a place on the second teams. In 1944-45 he was chosen for the right wing spot and the following season, 1945-46, he was chosen for that position again. The first time he was-picked on a forward line with Syd Howe and Bill Cowley. The second season he partnered Elmer Lach and Toe Blake. In both seasons Maurice Richard was picked on the first team.</p><p>One afternoon he managed to sneak into a practice of the Sherburns, one of the hometown&rsquo;s older teams. The squad&rsquo;s coach could hardly believe what he saw when the little fella took the ice. He had lightning in his skates and was almost too small to keep track of. The coach had to eat his previous words of advice as Mosienko made the team with ease.</p><p>In 1939, before fie had turned 18, Billy had become a fixture with the junior Winnipeg Monarchs and among his teammates was a young defenseman, Ernie Dickens. The pair are today of course wearing the Chicago Black Hawk uniform, but at the time probably never thought they&rsquo;d be on the same NHL team together.</p><p>It was while speeding along at right wing with the Monarchs that Billy caught the eye of his old idol, Cooper. Joe had advanced to a regular spot with the Black Hawk defense and when he saw the speed of his neighborhood fan he immediately wired Paul Thompson, the Chicago manager.</p><h2><b>Cooper Telegraphed Thompson</b></h2><p>What Cooper said in the telegram is not known, but it was enough to get Thompson to make a special trip out west to look over the speedy prospect.</p><p>As he watched &ldquo;Mosie&rdquo; go through his paces, the genial Chicago leader learned that the youngster had quit school two years earlier so that he could concentrate on hockey and bring more money to the family.</p><p>Thompson showed a definite interest in Billy and told the Mosienkos that he might be able to find a place for their son in the Chicago organization. They were happy and hopeful when the Windy City manager left and the thought of the big salary also seemed good.</p><p>A few days later, however their Joy ended when a wire from Thompson revealed that Canadian immigration authorities had decreed that Billy was too young to play professional hockey.</p><p>They had just about given up on their boy ever attaining fame in the ice sport when a second wire arrived from Chicago. This time Thompson had good news. He had gotten the authorities to reconsider and Billy was ordered to report to the Hawks&rsquo; AHL affiliate, the Providence Reds, for the 1940-41 season.</p><p>And so it was that &ldquo;Mosie&rdquo; broke into pro hockey and has now been one of its stars for the past 10 years. From Providence he went to a new Chicago farm team, the Kansas City Americans and less than a season later he arrived in the big time with the Black Hawks.</p><p>Before he started his first game in Chicago, Manager Thompson told reporters, &ldquo;Mosienko will go back to the Amerks as soon as Doug Bentley recovers from has injury.&rdquo;</p><p>Of course the record books reveal that Thompson never sent Billy back to Kansas City, but instead helped develop him into one of the NHL&rsquo;s modern great&rdquo;</p><p>His first two big league scores came in the first period of a New York Ranger game, just 21 seconds apart. In the Hawks&rsquo; very next game, to prove that the feat hadn&rsquo;t been an accident, he notched two goals within 23 seconds to lead Chicago to a 4 to 2 win over Detroit.</p><h2><b>Shoots Like Wiebe</b></h2><p>After this display Thompson said, &ldquo;Billy shoots as hard as Art Wiebe&mdash;a real boardbreaker. His speed is the greatest in the league, and his skating takes your breath away. He can stop, start, swing and turn like lightning, but it&rsquo;s that hard, sharp shot that is driving the defensemen crazy.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Mosie&rdquo; proved his speed was the greatest in the NHL just last season when he bettered players from each of the other squads in the league in a special skating contest at the Montreal Forum.</p><p>He&rsquo;s now starting his 10th campaign with Chicago. In his 382 games played in the NHL up to this season, Billy has scored 162 goals and 191 assists for 353 points. He&rsquo;s looking forward to becoming the Hawks&rsquo; fourth player to hit 200 goals. Babe Dye, Doug Bentley and Roy Conacher have already entered the charmed group.</p><p>&ldquo;I wish I could do It this season,&rdquo; Billy has said, but he&rsquo;ll probably have to wait a little longer.</p><p>He departed from the bachelorhood in the summer of 1946 when he married the former Wanda Swita, a girl friend of many years. They have a son, Billy, who may well turn out to be a spittin&rsquo; image of his Dad.</p><p>Mosienko now laughingly recalls the day the boy was born. &ldquo;Wanda and I were both in the hospital. It wasn&rsquo;t that I was taking that hard, in fact we were in different hospitals. She was back in Winnipeg and I was in Toronto, being treated for the broken leg which I had just received in the All-Star game.&rdquo;</p><p>In the off season Mosienko rushes back to Winnipeg to help run the bowling alley which he and Joe Cooper built in 1948.</p><p>&ldquo;Joe is out of hockey now and runs the place when I&rsquo;m playing, but we share the duties during the summer. We added 10 more alleys this year and now have 20 in all,&rdquo; Billy relates.</p><p>The little kid once judged too small has come a long way. He&rsquo;s been a Byng trophy winner, a nominee to two NHL All-Star squads and one of Chicago&rsquo;s favourites, but he likes to remind everyone that his fame was not something he achieved alone.</p><p>&ldquo;Bun Cook at Providence, Johnny Gottselig at Kansas City and of course Thompson at Chicago were the men that got me to click and if they hadn&rsquo;t taught me the tricks that I know today, I&rsquo;d probably still be sneaking into practices back in Winnipeg.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Passing the Puck

N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>In an effort to provide a faster, cleaner and more attractive spectacle for its public, the American Hockey League has instructed its referees to officiate under a much stricter interpretation of the rules. At a meeting held at League Headquarters in New York on. November 7th, conducted by Maurice Podoloff, League President, and attended by Eddie Shore of Springfield, who is chairman of the Executive Committee, the arbiters were told to observe the rule book to the letter in determining penalty infractions.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/cover-0292/1379639-1-eng-US/cover-022.jpg" title="Cover-02" width="158" height="232"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>M. Podoloff</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>Stars Hampered</b></h2><p>It has been pointed out that due to the great amount of holding, tripping, highsticking, interference and other rule infractions, the efficiency of many of the League&rsquo;s star players has been hampered. This has resulted in the loss of many of the finer points of hockey, such as intricate passing plays, smooth stickhandling, break a ways On goal and other features for which hockey has been famous.</p><p>On the other hand, although it will remove the illegal aspects of the sport to a great extent, it will in no way interfere with the legitimate methods of defense and preventative measures for frustrating an attack as prescribed in the book of rules. Thus American League hockey will retain all of its robust hitting, body checking and other attractions which have always thrilled the crowds. The emphasis is merely on curbing the actions of some of the circuit&rsquo;s players, who by their constant use of illegal tactics have impaired the skill of the game. There are no hockey players who protest a good legitimate check, but many of them, and rightfully so, are shy of the handling of sticks in a manner which can cause permanent injury through cuts. With these infractions drawing immediate penalties to the offenders, it will lessen their committing them and the players will return to their, style of dashing play without fear of being interfered with an illegal manner. Thus it is expected that the game will return to it a former wide open style, which permits the spectators to enjoy; good fast clean hockey without a combination of football and wrestling tactics slowing the play down. While it is true, in a rough hard played game like hockey, there will always be injuries, the ruggedness of the game itself being conductive to that, the player, will know that they only have to be wary of the methods which are legally permitted.</p><p>Naturally, the new &ldquo;get tough&rdquo; actions of the referees will and doubt create some difference in the game which might puzzle both players and spectators at first. However, after a short time, when the players realize just what they can and what they cannot do to avoid a penalty which might cost their team a game, everyone fans, players and referees will find that the game has definitely improved.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Illegal Tactics Hampering Stars Says Podoloff

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>The Bruins, with one personnel shakeup behind them, may be in for others unless they play the brand of hockey that is deserving of victories. That&rsquo;s the stand which Lynn Patrick, the new energic coach, has taken, and he doesn&rsquo;t seem to be kidding.</p><p>What does Patrick have up his sleeve as a guarantee that he&rsquo;ll get 60 minutes of effort per game?</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01188/1377164-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="318" height="318"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>ED. HARRISON</b></figcaption></div><p>A string of tickets to Hershey, for one thing, and there is no expiration date on them.</p><p>The Boston-Hershey shuttle is in operation, and on it will ride all the Bruins who Patrick doesn&rsquo;t think belong on his team. Passengers on the return trip will be Bruins&rsquo; farmhands now employed by Jack Crawford at Hershey.</p><h2><b>100% Perspiration</b></h2><p>Patrick has stated specifically that he wants 100 per cent perspiration from his charges, and he has backed up his words with actions. Already two old faces have left the Bruins, two new ones have joined them.</p><p>The first personnel changes in the squad were made early this month, at a time when the Bruins bad won only one game in nine starts. They were anticipated.</p><p>Forward Eddie Harrison and Defenseman Ed Reigle were shipped to Hershey in exchange for Forward Zellio &ldquo;Topper&rdquo; Toppazzini and Defenseman Ross Lowe.</p><p>The changes were made, said Patrick, because he didn&rsquo;t think Harrison and Reigle were playing their best. When he handed Reigle and Harrison their tickets, he spared Defenseman Steve Kraftcheck, at one time also an inhabitant of has &ldquo;doghouse&rdquo;.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll get rid of any other players who don&rsquo;t give 100 per cent, too,&rdquo; Patrick promised. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t like to lose.&rdquo;</p><p>The Bruins got off to an unfortunate start this fall. They failed to win any of their first eight games, and over that stretch they couldn&rsquo;t score goals. The first shakeup resulted.</p><p>Patrick tipped his hand while the team was on a long road trip by benching Reigle, Harrison and Kraftcheck all at once, with a terse explanation.</p><p>&ldquo;Kraftcheck and Reigle seem to think that just because they&rsquo;re up here in the majors they have won their jobs,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;They haven&rsquo;t.&rdquo;</p><p>He benched Harrison for indifferent play.</p><p>He reinstated the trio after a one-game sit-out, then summoned Toppazzini and Lowe.</p><p>Ironically, in the game in which the Bruins finally shook their losing ways, that 3 to 2 victory over Montreal, Harrison scored the winning goal with an assist from Reigle. A few minutes later they were on their way.</p><p>Toppazzini, a big fellow and a good skater, first played in Boston two years ago. He came up with Dave Creighton, but he couldn&rsquo;t stick. Lowe appeared briefly at the tail-end of last season.</p><p>Harrison came to the Bruins in the fall of 1947 direct from St. Michael&rsquo;s junior team, with Eddie Sandford, his cousin. The black-haired youngster never held a regular job here, but he did have some spectacular moments as a fill-in.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02172/1377157-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="316" height="316"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>ZELLIO TOPPAZZINI</b></figcaption></div><p>Reigle was purchased with Kraftcheck from Cleveeland of the American league last summer.</p><p>Patrick promptly teamed Lowe with Fernie Flaman, sticking to his three-pairs system. Murray Henderson has been playing with Kraftcheck and Bill Quackenbush with Ed Kryzanowski. There have been no complaints about the quality of the Bruins&rsquo; defense, backboned by Goalie Jack Gelineau.</p><p>The Bruins, as Patrick predicted during the doleful days, have displayed a much healthier offense in their recent outings. They haven&rsquo;t given enemy goal-tenders any nervous breakdowns yet, but their attack has sharpened up considerably.</p><p>&ldquo;We weren&rsquo;t properly organized in our early games,&rdquo; said Coach Lynn, &ldquo;but I&rsquo;m still convinced that we&rsquo;ll be as good as any team in the league.&rdquo;</p><p>Patrick has made other adjustments of minor note in comparison to those he has made on his &ldquo;produce or else&rdquo; basis. One of them resulted in the breakup of the &ldquo;Muscles&rdquo; line.</p><p>Paul Ronty, John Peirson and Ken Smith, a unit since the spring of 1348, are no longer playing together. Lome Ferguson, tall rookie up from Tulsa, is now playing left wing with Ronty and Peirson as Patrick searches for the right combinations.</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s all it is, a matter of getting the right ones and getting them going at the same time,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll still be a winning team.&rdquo;</p><p>And his squad now knows that what he has up his sleeve is the penalty for not winning.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

The extra adornment is a letter &ldquo;C&rdquo; signifying Frank&rsquo;s captaincy of the Broadway Blue Shirts.</p><p>During the last two years Frank served as an alternate captain but his recent elevation to player-leader of the Blues was unexpected and he couldn&rsquo;t be happier than he Frank Boucher today.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03158/1377209-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="155" height="231"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Frank Boucher</b></figcaption></div><p>Eddolls, who rates as one of the brainiest skaters in the National Hockey League today, is now playing his fourth campaign with the New York sextet. The Rangers obtained him along with Buddy O&rsquo;Connor in the summer of 1947 from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Hal Laycoe, Joe Bell and George Robertson. Neither Frank nor Ranger Boss Frank Boucher has regretted the trade.</p><h2><b>Shuffled To Buffalo</b></h2><p>In Montreal he was treated more or less like an in-law. After a full season with. the Canucks in 1944-45 he spent the next two shuttling back and forth between the parent club and their Buffalo farm team in the American Hockey League. Since coming to New York he&rsquo;s not only been a regular but he has been considered one of the mainstays of the Blue Shirts back line.</p><p>Now 29 years old, Frank was born in Lachine, Que., a suburb of Montreal, July 5, 1921. Like nearly every other youngster in the metropolitan area he started skating and playing hockey soon after he was able to walk. From the outdoor rinks and pick-up games he graduated to public school sextets and later played with Montreal High School.</p><p>He started to attract the attention of NHL scouts as soon as he began playing junior hockey with Verdun in 1937-38. That year and the next, with Eddolls contributing more than his share to the success of the team, the Verdun Juniors won the junior championship of the Province of Quebec.</p><p>In 1939-40 he switched to the Oshawa Generals. The Generals that season captured the Memorial Cup, symbolic of Junior amateur supremacy in Canada. Though he didn&rsquo;t know it at the time he was facing a future teammate when he was banging away at the nets in the Memorial Cup finals with the western champs, the Kenora Thistles. In the cage of the Thistles was Chuck Rayner, who has been a close friend of Frank ever since the latter joined the club.</p><p>Eddolls played with the Generals again the following year. Their record in 1940-41 wasn&rsquo;t quite as impressive as the year before but they did a terrific job nevertheless, going to the Eastern finals of the Memorial Cup playoffs.</p><p>Frank turned pro in 1941-42 with the Hershey Bears but he had only one season of pro hockey before he was called for service with the RCAF. During the first of his two years in the Air Force he managed to find time for hockey, playing with the Montreal RCAF team. His club that year went to the Quebec Senior finals, losing there to the Ottawa Army sextet which included Neil Colville, now Frank&rsquo;s coach, on its roster. For his own efforts that year Eddolls won the Lady Byng of Vimy Trophy as the most valuable player in the Quebec Senior Hockey League.</p><p>He returned to the pro wars with the Canadiens in 1944-45 and played a full season with the Canucks before he started his commuting between Montreal and Buffalo.</p><h2><b>Coulter Early Favorite</b></h2><p>Like most kids, Frank looked at the big league hockey players of his youth with great respect. Perhaps it was the early workings of fate, but it was a Ranger who gave Frank his greatest thrill of his hero-worship days. What experience was provided by Art Coulter in a game with the Canadiens in the Forum, Coulter, says Frank, &ldquo;hit Howie Morenz and knocked him farther through the air than I&rsquo;d ever seen or seen since. Right then I wasn&rsquo;t too sure that I wanted to make a career of hockey.&rdquo;</p><p>Winning equal rank as the two rivals he most respects today are Maurice Richard, right wing of the Canadiens and Ted Lindsay, the Detroit Red Wings greatloft wing. Both he says, can make a lot of trouble for defensemen with their tremendous drive. Neither, Frank adds, wastes many shots from out on the blue line. Rather, he says, they carry the puck right In for a better shot at the net, which means extra trouble for rearguards.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-05101/1377195-1-eng-US/f0002-052.jpg" title="f0002-05" width="301" height="621"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>As A Blue</b></p><p><b>Frankie &hellip; Salute The Captain</b></p></figcaption></div><p>Eddolls was married in June,, 1946 to Connie Harrison, an attractive Montreal girl. They have a daughter, Dale Constance, now three years old. During the summer they live in Montreal but Mrs. Eddolls and Dale spend most of the winter in New York. Frank, in fact, is looking for an apartment for them right at the moment.</p><p>Frank has a younger brother, who is also active in sports,, though in a coaching, rather than playing, capacity. Brother Gordie is coaching football, baseball and basketball at Park Prep, a private school in Indianapolis, Ind.</p><p>Since coming to the Blue Shirts, Frank has won a host of friends among Gotham&rsquo;s hockey fans. His steady and heady play has made him a big favorite.</p><p>Only 5 feet, 8 inches tall, he&rsquo;s not big as defensemen go but he packs 180 pounds on his frame and he can give or take rough stuff along with the best.</p><p>In 1947-48, his first season with the Rangers Frank showed his best big league effort to date. In that campaign he tallied six goals and contributed on 13 others for a total of 19 points, unusually high for a back liner.</p><p>Just a week before the opening of the 1948-49 season he was injured along with Buddy O&rsquo;Connor and a couple of other Rangers in an automobile accident that kept him out of action for the first half of the campaign. And even after he returned he was never able to hit full stride. Last year again a series of injuries kept him on the sidelines for short periods. Twice he was hit on the knee by pucks, once torn ligaments, and then an infection of the bursal sac prevented him from, taking the ice. Though he missed only 12 games, in many of the others he was working his way back into shape and not performing at 100 per cent of capacity.</p><p>Later, in a practice prior to the Rangers playoff series with the Canadiens. he was hit again by a puck and he missed the opening playoff game. But despite the injuries that reduced his effectiveness he was a Blue Shirt bulwark all through the season, as indicated by his selection as captain of the club.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Sneaked Into Practice To Show Coach Ability

<p class="dropcap"><span>M</span>ONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Long rated one of the smoothest skaters in the National Hockey League, Billy Mosienko is without a doubt one of the fastest as well.</p><p>Last year in a special benefit game for the late Tag Millar, Mosienko, representing the Chicago Black Hawks in a speed skating contest at the Montreal Forum, finished first as he skirted the oval in 14 &#8536; seconds. He was one fifth of a second ahead of his nearest rival, Max McNab of the Detroit Red Wings.</p><p>Other players representing their clubs were Tony Leswick of the Rangers and Floyd Curry of Montreal. Toronto and Boston were not represented.</p><p>Mosienko&rsquo;s time is rated with the best ever for the limit. Until then, Hec Kilrea held what was supposed to be a record by whipping around the Montreal arena in 16 &#8535; seconds.

He wore his usual small smile and seemed outwardly calm as he tugged at his sweat-wet jersey.</p><p>It took the youngest of the famed Conacher brothers only eight games into his 13th season in the major league to complete the rare feat. At 34, he became the 19th player in the 32-year-old history of the National league to? dent enemy nets 200 times.</p><p>Roy had 198 markers going into the game, but had upped this number before the first period was half over.

As a Hawk he had three of his best major league campaigns, scoring 73 goals and 100 assists.

It Took Roy Eight Games Of His 13th Season To Become The 19th Player To Enter The 200 Circle

<div class="byline">By BOB HESKETH</div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>The scene was the equipment-packed room adjacent to the ice surface in St. Catharines&rsquo; well-manicured arena. Down at one end Tommy Naylor, Leaf skateman was sewing sponge rubber on elbow pads and up at the other Joseph Primeau was removing skates and shin pads.</p><p>The time was the eve of the NHL opening.</p><p>The other characters, and the word is used advisedly were newsmen who entered from the left clad in various forms of raggedy attire symbolic of the profession. Their object was to dredge certain words of opinion from the new Leaf coach to transmit to a panting public.</p><p>Primeau, however, missed his cue. Before one of the scribes could summon strength for query he advanced and stole the words right from their scripts.</p><p>&ldquo;What&rdquo; he said earnestly, &ldquo;did you think of that practice?&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01208/1377458-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="275" height="568"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>Unassuming</b></p><p><b>JOE PRIMEAU</b></p></figcaption></div><h2><b>Reversed Procedure</b></h2><p>This will go down as probably one of the greatest reversals of form in the NHL. A coach asking such a question of reporters is practically an unheard of situation but its symbolic of the way Primeau, although he can call on 18 years of experience in directing hockey clubs, approaches his job of coaching the Toronto Maple Leafs.</p><p>Primeau, who has two Memorial and one Allan Cup triumph for feathers in his cap, approaches his debut in the big league rather cannily. The surprising start of his Maple Leafs surprises the coach least of all, not especially because he didn&rsquo;t expect to see them dash off an 11 game streak without a loss to start the season but because Gentleman Joe is a gent who approaches one thing at a time.</p><p>&ldquo;At training camp,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;I took every day as it came. Now that the season has started I&rsquo;m taking every game at a time. I&rsquo;m not thinking too much about what&rsquo;s going to happen next week but more about what&rsquo;s going to happen in the next game we play.&rdquo;</p><p>Joe&rsquo;s did attitude in dealing with each separate problem should win him some sort of prize but if the truth were known he hasn&rsquo;t faced too many problems as yet in this young season. The most serious setback the Leafs have experienced so far has been the non-start of rookie defenseman Hugh Bolton and an injury to defenseman Bill Barilko in Boston a couple of weeks ago that kept him out of action for ten days. The Leaf management met the emergency however by calling up Bobby Copp, Ottawa Senator defenseman and captain to whom a lot of credit is due because in spite of the drag his 32 years of age put on him he proved to be well In shape physically and quite up to filling in the empty spot.</p><p>Bolton, out with an injured knee, spent some time in hospital and though the time of his return at writing was still uncertain Primeau, who had the former McGillian on his roster when he won the Allan Cup last season, feels sure that he will be the final addition that will add balance to his club.</p><h2><b>Started in &rsquo;32</b></h2><p>Primeau, the centreman on the Leafs&rsquo; unforgettable Kid Line, started coaching hockey clubs back in 1932 when he took over the bench chores of the West Toronto Juniors. He took the OHA senior title with Toronto Dukes in 1935 and two years later decided that a two team coaching job wouldn&rsquo;t press him too&rsquo; much. The following year had Marlboro Juniors, who he took to the OHA finals and he also won the senior crown with Goodyears.</p><p>He won his second OHA senior honors with, the RCAF in 1942 (and he still holds a great sentimental affection for those service teams). For six years past he has handled St. Michael&rsquo;s Juniors and three years ago he started to do double duty with Marlboro Seniors.</p><p>Last season Joe was ready to quit. He had won the Allan Cup with the seniors and had two Memorial Cup victories to paste in his scrapbook. That should have been enough to satisfy any mentor. Furthermore his cement business, which is doing quite prosperously, called for most of his attention and he couldn&rsquo;t find anyone to take over the bossing chores.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-02184/1377451-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg" title="f0005-02" width="914" height="605"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>As coach of the Allan Cup Toronto Marlboros, Primeau tells Toronto fandom how much he and his boys appreciate their turnout. He thanked them from the City Hall steps while present Coach, Flash Hollet, proudly displays the Allan Cup.</b></figcaption></div><p>That&rsquo;s why when Boston Bruins offered him the chance to take over the coaching chores forcibly vacated by George Buck Boucher, Primeau was a little reticent to accept. He talked it over with the Boston management and decided that he couldn&rsquo;t leave his business in Toronto to accent. He denied, however, that his non-acceptance had anything to do with salary disagreements.</p><p>So Lynn Patrick took over for the Bruins and though Primeau is not the type to ever say so, its likely that he feels much more happy where he is. The Leafs, with as many question marks on the roster as any other club in the league, forged to the front in the early games. The Bruins, in spite of Patrick&rsquo;s unquestionably talented handling have sunk to the bottom due mostly to a seeming inability to put a puck in the net.</p><h2><b>Recalls Parallel</b></h2><p>Primeau&rsquo;s charges, on the other hand, have shown a remarkable ability to do that. With the early showing of Turk Broda, who scored three straight shutouts and went for over 240 minutes of scoreless hockey and with the scoring balance evenly distributed among the four lines, Primeau would seem to have not much to worry about his club finishing in the playoffs.</p><p>But Joe won&rsquo;t make any deliberate comment. He&rsquo;s too unassuming to do that.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll just keep on taking every game as it comes,&rdquo; he says.</p><p>Joe recalled a remarkable parallel between his first year as a coach and his first as a regular player with the Leafs back in the 30&rsquo;s.</p><p>&ldquo;The first game I played against Detroit,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;I was lucky enough to score the first goal. We beat them 1-0 that night. I was just thinking it was rather odd that the first game we played against Detroit in my first night coaching against them at the Gardens we beat them 1-0 too.</p><p>Cal Gardner scored that one but you can&rsquo;t help but think that Primeau&rsquo;s quiet but powerful coaching methods had something to do even with that.</p><p>His main ambition?</p><p>To add the Stanley Cup to the ones he&rsquo;s already won and then to keep on going in this league as long as he&rsquo;s any good.</p><p>His prospects?</p><p>At this sitting&mdash;pretty good. His attributes?</p><p>Listen to this story.</p><p>Playing the Boston Bruins one night, Primeau in attempting to clear a loose puck, put it in his own net. Most embarrassing, you&rsquo;ll admit. It tied the score 1-1 and appeared to cost the Leafs the game.</p><p>Joe was mad, a state which he seldom experiences even now. He got the faceoff centre, circled his own defense, soared right down the middle, stick handled past the defense, drew goalie Tiny Thompson out of position and scored the winning goal.</p><p>And if you can beat those attributes brother, you&rsquo;re welcome to try.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Coaching One Game At A Time His Attitude

Que.</b></p><p><b>Yearly Subscription Price $2.60 in Canada &mdash; $1.60 In U.S.A.</b></p><p><b>Authorized as second class mall. Post Office Department, Ottawa.</b></p><p><b>Printed in Canada</b></p><p><b>Vol. 4 November 18, 1950 No. 7</b></p><p>We certainly haven&rsquo;t any quarrel with the action of American Hockey League officials last week in ordering a crackdown on rough and illegal play &mdash; far from it. In fact, we think it is a worthy step that should have been taken long ago.</p><p>By long ago, we mean at any time since the action which gave birth to this latest edict has been going on. Even one game is far too long for the rowdy stuff which some players like to think is their particular gift to hockey.</p><p>Which brings us to the point of this editorial &mdash; which is, simply, why should it be necessary at all for the AHL or any other league to order its referess to enforce the rules? The rules are there and should be observed. If that isn&rsquo;t the intention, then let&rsquo;s wipe the observed-in-the-breach regulations off the slate and start afresh.</p><p>Don&rsquo;t get us wrong. The foregoing doesn&rsquo;t mean we would like to see hockey develop into a namby-pamby game in which even little Mortimer Milksop could be a shining star. That isn&rsquo;t necessary at all, as was pointed out in the story written by Jim Ellery, which is summarized on Page One of this week&rsquo;s issue.</p><p>All that is intended is an attempt to get rid of those infractions which are plainly outside the law, and which add nothing to the game except an injury toll which mounts in direct proportion to the leniency of the referees. The target is the octopus, clinging-vine type of &ldquo;hockey&rdquo; and the stick-swinging and butt-ending tactics which may delight a few of the more moronic customers, but doesn&rsquo;t add any sparkle to the game.</p><p>Admittedly, it&rsquo;s a difficult thing to keep in check, since the referees after all are only human and most of them have been hockey players themselves. It&rsquo;s natural for them to look the other way or give the wink to quite a few offenses if the recipient doesn&rsquo;t seem to have been too badly hurt. They know as well as anyone else that too much whistle blowing slows up and spoils a game of hockey, and they don&rsquo;t like to get the home crowd to badly riled up.</p><p>The only trouble with this attitude is that, instead of speeding the game up the opposite is quite often true. The crowd may get a spirited exhibition of skating, shooting, boxing, wrestling, hurling and jai-alai for a time, but inevitably the whole thing explodes into a Donnybrook of a brawl and the important proceedings are held up for minutes at a time.</p><p>So it seems almost elementary that the rules would be observed to the letter as a natural procedure. But the fact remains that a hard-hitting statement had to be issued by League Headquarters to have the referees &ldquo;observe the rule book to the letter in determining penalty infractions.&rdquo;</p><p>Earlier this season, a similar get-tough order was handed out in the United States Hockey League, and in last Spring&rsquo;s Stanley Cup semi-finals between Detroit and Toronto the officials had to be instructed to put the crimp on unruly players.</p><p>With the referees ruling firmly and fairly this season in the NHL, brawls have been held to the barest minimum possible under the hard-hitting, bodily-contact conditions of present-day hockey. And there haven&rsquo;t been too. many complaints that the action is getting sissified.</p><p>Which goes to prove that there&rsquo;s nothing inherently wrong with the refereeing system or the referees themselves. Its just a question of enforcing the rules as laid down from the experience of several decades of hockey men.</p><p>We don&rsquo;t think that anyone will dispute the fact that hockey can be a fast, interesting game if played strictly according to the code, without allowing any of the muscleman stuff. The main objection comes from those who think that hockey has to have the fights and rough stuff to make it more appealing to the crowds.</p><p>But if hockey ever gets to the point where it has to rely on bone-shattering trips and neat slicing of an opponent&rsquo;s anatomy, then we might as well go all the way back to Rome &mdash; and throw a couple of lions on the ice as an added attraction as they battle with the ice gladiators!</p><p>No, hockey can survive very well, thank you, played according to the rules. The players can skate and check and bump to their heart&rsquo;s desire and the crowds will love it. When the players get too badly annoyed, they can pull off their gloves and go to it if they like, and take their medicine. The rest of the time let the referees put a fast thumb on those stepping out of line and things will return to normal fast.</p><p>We don&rsquo;t think periodic crackdowns should be necessary. We still think the rule book should be enforced &ldquo;to the letter&rdquo; as a matter of course, just as long as those rules are in effect.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

We became acquainted with our players last year and, of course, we now have no way of knowing where they are or how they are doing this year. If you could do an article on the players who were with San Francisco, Fresno, Los Angeles and San Diego last year, telling where they are this year, I am sure it would be very much appreciated by all of us out this way. Of course I realize it wouldn&rsquo;t be of much interest to some of your Eastern readers, but then, some of the articles aren&rsquo;t of much interest to us either, but we keep reading them because we like the paper.</p><p>Thanks very much for reading this, and here&rsquo;s to more and better hockey in the future &mdash; a future that should hold some more hockey in store for us out here.</p><p>Lela Clark National City, Calif.</p><p><b>(Say, Leia, that&rsquo;s a pretty good idea of yours for a story oil the former P.C.H.L. players who are playing in other parts of the country this year.

How about a story on Terry Sawchuk, Detroit&rsquo;s rookie goaltender?</p><p>Walter Guentu Hague, Sask. &ldquo;</p><h2><b>DISPUTES BARTOLINI</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>What does Tony Bartolini of Boston mean there&rsquo;s too much talk about the All-Stars and All-Star teams. Just because the All-Star team was beaten by the Stanley Cup champs is no reason why they should change the selectors from the coaches to the sportswriters. I don&rsquo;t think the fans could pick a better All-Star team than the coaches because they don&rsquo;t see all the team in action. If Lindsay, Abel or Howe had been on the All-Star team when they were beaten by Detroit I don&rsquo;t think the fans or Tony Bartolini would say anything. And don&rsquo;t forget the Red Wings had a rookie, Terry Sawchuk, playing for them.</p><p>I don&rsquo;t think the writers and radio men should pick the AllStars. After all, you take Foster Hewitt or Wes McKnight. They&rsquo;re all for the Leafs, and I bet there would be at least four Maple Leafs on the first team if they iet the writers pick the All-Stars.</p><p>Pat Iduciano Hamiton, Ont.</p><h2><b>BENTLEY BOOSTER</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I read the story on the Timgren, Mackell and McCormack line and liked it.

Happy Birthday to YOU

<div class="byline">By JACK HORRIGAN</div><p>BUFFALO, N.Y&mdash;</p><p>The triangular trade which found Hershey gaining the services of Defenseman Ray Gariepy and Buffalo securing rear-line Roily McLenahan must be classified as the oddest of the current American Hockey League season for two reasons.</p><p>First, Montreal&mdash;the third team in the dealing&mdash;ended up being nothing more than the middleman. The Canadiens originally purchased Gariepy from Buffalo. Then they turned around and traded him to Hershey for McLenahan, who in turn was optioned to Buffalo.</p><p>The transactions followed one another so closely that neither Gariepy nor McLenahan got a chance to play in a regular National League game.</p><p>The second reason that the trade stands in a class by itself is that it touched off the hottest feud of the past several years in the AHL.</p><p>Gariepy, determined to show his former Buffalo bosses that they made a mistake in dealing him off, flew at his ex-mates with reckless abandon the first time the two teams met in Hershey on Oct. 14.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-01231/1377613-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="146" height="177"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 146px"><b>K.

Nor were the Bisons to be found wanting in the match fire-with-fire department.</p><p>While the action in that contest was fast and furious, the relatively small number of eight penalties were called. Gariepy was undoubtedly the happiest of the 6,220 persons in Hershey Arena that night for the Bears downed Buffalo, 5-3.</p><p>The feud blossomed into a full-scale war eight nights later when Player-Coach Jack Crawford brought his charges into the den of Leroy Goldsworthy&rsquo;s high-flying Bisons.</p><p>From the opening faceoff Referee Harry Ornest had his hands full. He thumbed four players to the penalty box at various times du ring the first period as Hershey gained a 2-0 lead.</p><p>Then came the second period&mdash;one of the most riotous seen in Buffalo in many a night. Words, sticks and fists flew. Ornest dealt out nine more penalties including a major and a misconduct to Gariepy, and a minor, a major and a misConduct to Ab DeMarco, veteran Buffalo center. While all this extra-curricular activity was going on, Buffalo scored three times and Hershey pushed in another tally to leave the score tied 3-3.</p><p>In the final period, four additional penalties were called as the teams roared into the final minute of play all tied at 4-4.</p><p>At that juncture a Buffalo castoff, Jerry Brown, took command and beat Goalie Connie Dion with a rising shot to clinch Hershey&rsquo;s second straight win over the Eastern Division defending champions.</p><p>But the festivities didn&rsquo;t end with the final buzzer. As the siren went off Hershey players&mdash;led by Sylvio Bettio, Brown and Crawford&mdash;spod across the ice to the scorer&rsquo;s table. They screamed at Penalty Timer Bill Hettig that the game was allowed to go 8 seconds beyond the 20 minute limit. Brown made a valri attempt to laid a haymaker on Hettig&rsquo;s bulky frame.</p><p>Ironically, Hettig has nothing to do with the time clock, which sounded the end of the game at the proper moment but was not heard in the din created by the screaming fans.</p><p>The scene shifted back to Hershey again on Nov. 4 for the third of ten scheduled meetings between the archrivals.</p><p>And again those fans who like mayhem mixed with their hockey were well rewarded.</p><p>Ornest was the whistle tooter again. He managed to keep a semblance of order in the first period, only to have all hell break loose in the middle stanza.</p><p>With forty seconds remaining in the period Buffalo&rsquo;s Paul Meger scored a goal which Hershey claimed was tallied after the whistle had blown.</p><p>Hershey Goalie Gordie Henry charged out of his cage and gave Ornest a violent shove.</p><p>In short order, players from both clubs were milling around on the ice. Ornest made an attempt to restore order but failed, and then cleared the ice.</p><p>After the usual between periods rest, Ornest announced that the goal counted and he gave Henry a ten-minute misconduct penalty which was served by Mark Marquess.</p><p>The forty seconds left of the second period were played and then the third period commenced immediately.</p><p>Buffalo, which has been a good road club to date, showed it can beat the Bears by taking a 4-2 decision.</p><p>Although statistics cannot impart the full story of how rough the three Hershey-Buffalo games have been so far, some idea can be gleaned from the fact that 116 minutes have been spent serving penalties.</p><p>Included were two majors and four misconduct calls. And a total of 18 different players were caught committing infractions&mdash;nine from each squad.</p><p>Funny what a simple player deal can start!</p><h2><b>The Hockey News</b></h2><p><b>Published Weekly, except monthly May through September, by HOCKEY NEWS COMPANY, 608A Sun Life Bldg., Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Gariepy Tries To Rough Up Bisons As Proof Of Mistake

<div class="byline">By GEORGE CARSON</div><p>ST. LOUIS, Mo&mdash;</p><p>Steve Hrymnak was purchased to add defensive strength to the Flyers, but his rushing tactics will probably make him just about as valuable to the St. Louis club on offense.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-03152/1377651-1-eng-US/f0007-032.jpg" title="f0007-03" width="298" height="600"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>Value Plus</b></p><p><b>Steve Hrymnak</b></p></figcaption></div><p>Not big fellow as defensemen go, Hrymnak makes up for his lack of weight by being in constant action when on the ice. He is equally adept at leading an attack down the rink as he is racing back to throw johnny Mitchell up a stout defense when the opposition threatens.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-04122/1377644-1-eng-US/f0007-042.jpg" title="f0007-04" width="146" height="230"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 146px"><b>Johnny Mitchell</b></figcaption></div><p>His ability to score on offense was recognized by the New Haven Ramblers (now the Eagles) last season and he enjoyed that rather rare privilege for a defenseman of being shifted to the forward line for part of the season. He was not only used on both wings, but even had a turn at center.</p></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><h2><b>Scores Many Goals</b></h2><p>Coach Johnny Mitchell of the Flyers, however, prefers to use Hrymnak exclusively at defense, for he wants to get the full benefit of his defensive ability while at the same time adding offensive power. Hrymnak had a consistently high goal total for a defense attack.</p><p>man during the three years he played pro hockey with New Haven. He rapped in ten in each of his first two seasons and increased that last year to 13. But how he has improved his value to his team each season is shown In the assist column. The first season he had only four. The next he boosted that to 11, and last season he increased it to 17, indicating how he took an ever larger part In the team&rsquo;s attack.</p><p>Hrymnak, like so many hockey players these days, comes from Port Arthur, Ontario. There he was fortunate in having that astute hockey teacher, Ed Lauzon, as his coach.</p><p>While Steve enjoyed the three years he played under Lauzon, he was deeply distressed at missing a fourth season with the Port Arthur juniors. It wasn&rsquo;t so pouch that he was called into the Canadian Army and served a year in the armored corps. No, it wasn&rsquo;t the Army duty that bothered Steve. It was just that was the season Port Arthur swept through the playdowns and won the Memorial Cup, emblematic of the junior championship of Canadian hockey.</p><p>It was a tough break for Hrymnak for that season was sandwiched in between the three he played for Lauzon. He was with Port Arthur in 19 42-43 and the following season when the Fort Arthur team went to the Western finals. Then came his Army duty, followed by another year under Lauzon.</p><p>However, Steve is mighty happy that he had the chance to play for Lauzon, for it gave him a good groundwork for his pro career.</p><p>After his last season at Port Arthur, Hrymnak went to the New York Rovers for a final amateur season and then joined New Haven for the 1948 season. The Flyers bought Hrymnak this fall after the New York Rangers, parent club of the Ramblers, decided to drop New Haven as a farm club.</p><p>Hrymnak doesn&rsquo;t do a great deal of body checking, although he can hit hard when he connects with the 170 pounds he carts around on a 5 foot 9 inch frame.</p><p>Due to his constant aggressiveness, Steve sometimes makes mistakes when he is caught deep in enemy territory, but his speed usually carries him back fast enough to cover up those errors. To make up for his over anxiousness, Coach Mitchell has paired him with VicGrigg, a steady, reliable defenseman who drops back to protect Hrymnak when he starts one of his goal-seeking rushes.</p><p>Born in Port Arthur and still living there, Hrymnak spends his off-season time as a sheet metal worker. But this past summer, Steve tried a job as a cattle seller and may try that again next year.</p><p>Both Steve and his wife enjoy fishing and they spend many an hour fishing on Lake Superior or nearby streams. What could be better than fishing? Steve knows the answer: Scoring goals.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Defenseman Hrymnak Is Boon To Flyers’ Attack

<div class="byline">By JIM KEARNEY</div><p>NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C.&mdash;</p><p>If New Westminster Royals had any qualms about retaining their Pacific Coast Hockey League championship this season, they had reason to lose many of them when Ex-New Westminster mayor Fred Hume purchased half interest in the team October 25.</p><p>Insofar as the Fraser River sawmill city of 45,000 persons is concerned, Hume and championships go hand in hand.</p><p>For a price reputed to exceed $25,000, Hume purchased 50 percent of the 1949-50 champions from Maxwell W. (Wid) Gregg, wealthy fruit exporter of Reedly, Calif. Gregg bought into the club in February of 1949, but of late could not see eye to eye with MacKenzie on the operation of the team.</p><p>October&rsquo;s deal was made through former National Leaguer Bob Gracie, now manager of the Fresno, Calif., ice arena. Gracie came to New Westminster with the power of attorney for Gregg. Although he says his interest in the Royals will be purely passive, veteran New Westminster sports fans are looking for Hume to become quite active should the team&rsquo;s fortunes sag.</p><p>A wealthy man, Hume is head of the largest electrical firm in Western Canada. And besides money, he has a tremendous amount of civic spirit in things around New Westminster.</p><p>The two have combined to bring Dominion lacrosse and soccer championships to the Royal City in past years. There&rsquo;s no reason to believe that his interest in hockey shouldn&rsquo;t be just as intense.</p><p>Virtually the patron saint of the Salmonbellies lacrosse team, he imported a team for them from Eastern Canada in the mid-30&rsquo;s when there was an extreme scarcity of local talent.</p><p>Hume paid the entire bill in transportation and salaries and had the satisfaction of seeing them win the first Canadian box lacrosse championship ever held by the west.</p><p>In soccer he rounded up the best talent available, put them together under the name of Royals and proceeded to dominate the Canadian championship scene for more than 10 years from the mid-20&rsquo;s to the mid-30&rsquo;s.</p><p>As mayor of New Westminster he virtually made the winning of Dominion titles a civic enterprise. Whenever New Westminster basketball, lacrosse or soccer teams were campaigning in the east his favorite stunt was to air-express gallons of pure glacier drinking water when the players complained of the chlorinated product in eastern centres.</p><p>This is his first venture into hockey and the Royals need have no worries. When Fred Hume is interested in a team he&rsquo;s also interested in championships. And he usually gets them.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Throwing those pop cases around will keep you in shape. One summer, I didn&rsquo;t work. I came into camp five or seven pounds heavy, I couldn&rsquo;t get it off, and I had a bad season.&rdquo;</p><p>Five or seven pounds overweight! And there are players who trustingly arive at fall camp 20 pounds heavy, hoping to take it off in a month or less.</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s how fellows get hurt,&rdquo; Heller said. &ldquo;They get out of shape in the summer. They can&rsquo;t move right to protect, themselves and they get hurt early in the season.&rdquo;</p><p>Heller didn&rsquo;t work last summer, because he didn&rsquo;t expect to play this winter for the Indianapolis Caps, the club he&rsquo;s been coaching three seasons. Even so, he arrived in camp with his same old slat-flat stomach, and right now is better conditioned than some of his players almost half his age.</p><p>Ott says he&rsquo;s 40 and the record book doesn&rsquo;t show any erasures to Indicate he&rsquo;s been tampering with dates, so we&rsquo;ll have to take the old fellow&rsquo;s word for it. Even so, among players trying to stay under 30 for business purposes, you hear dark declarations, &ldquo;Why, that old so-and-so&rsquo;s 45, at least!&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;That old so-and-so&rdquo; came off the Kitchener Greenshirts juniors to Springfield,- then a New York Ranger farm, after the 1929-30 Canadian-American League season started. During the 19 31-32 season, the Rangers beckoned, and he began 15 years in Big Town.</p><h2><b>Paired With Johnson</b></h2><p>When Heller joined the Rangers, he was paired with Ching Johnson on defense. &ldquo;I just followed him around. All I had to do was pick up the puck.&rdquo;</p><p>From Lester Patrick and Johnson, Heller learned how to play defense. Lester taught him to look the other fellow in the eye&mdash;which, incidentally, is a Heller habit off the ice as well as on.</p><p>&ldquo;The big thing about playing defense is looking the other fellow in the eyes,&rdquo; Ott explained. &ldquo;You look the other fellow right in the eyes, he can&rsquo;t tell where he&rsquo;s going. They&rsquo;ll look away from you and try to look at you of the corners of their eyes, but it upsets them. As soon as you start playing the puck, you&rsquo;re beat.&rdquo;</p><p>Learning to look &rsquo;em in the eyes wasn&rsquo;t easy. &ldquo;Lester used to sit on the bench and hold his hand up, shading his eyes, to remind me about it,&rdquo; Ott chuckled.</p><p>On the ice, Ching Johnson (he&rsquo;s a contractor in Washington, D.C., now) would tell the young Heller which way each opposing player would go, as the enemy rushes formed. &ldquo;It was a picnic. He had them all studied. That&rsquo;s what you should do. Once a guy beats you one way, make sure he never beats you that way again.&rdquo;</p><p>Defensemen didn&rsquo;t rush on offense in those days the way they do now. &ldquo;You got the puck and started down the ice,&rdquo; Ott recalled, &ldquo;they were back there waiting for you.&rdquo; There was more attention to defense. A team practically had to &rsquo;have an affadavit promising a good shot on the net before it would make a rush.</p><p>The old guy didn&rsquo;t stay around all this time by avoiding injuries, either. He broke his right shoulder three times,&rsquo; had a bad separation in his left shoulder, broke his wrist, tore cartilages in both kness on a single play, and stuffed his arms with bone chips from falling on his elbows.</p><p>He has a big hollow in his right hand between the thumb and first finger, produced by a bone chip sawing on a nerve inside his arm. An operation in the summer of &rsquo;49 was all that kept him from losing most of the control of that hand.</p><p>He tore those knee cartilages in 1933, in a game the Rangers already had wrapped up. Boston had pulled its goalkeeper and Heller, racing a Bruin for the puck, which lay In front of the goal, dived into the goalposts trying to win the race.</p><p>Young hockey players think old hockey players are just beating their gums when they say, &ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t get hurt, you aren&rsquo;t playing,&rdquo; but that&rsquo;s a pretty good indicator of how much a hockey player is participating, as the college football coaches like to call it.</p><p>&ldquo;There are more temperamental players now,&rdquo; Heller observed. &ldquo;When a fellow used to get bawled out, he&rsquo;d go out there and reef someone. Now players get constructive criticism and they sulk instead of trying harder.&rdquo;</p><p>Never hard to handle as a player, Heller has proven himself perhaps the most persuasive coach in the game today. That&rsquo;s covering a good deal of acreage, but ask men who have been on his teams. He doesn&rsquo;t get at them by yelling; he talks to them, and if they have any feeling at all, he gets under their skins.</p><p>He won&rsquo;t admit it, but it&rsquo;s obvious that one reason he&rsquo;s playing regularly this year is out of consideration for his players. With the AL on a club salary limit, if Heller sat down, his Caps would have to take smaller contracts to pay another man. So he&rsquo;s in there, and every one of them is making that much more.</p><p>&ldquo;I enjoy playing. I love the game. But I miss too much out there. I&rsquo;m going to get out when Nellie Podolsky&rsquo;s broken leg is all right and he can play again.&rdquo;</p><p>Yeah, he&rsquo;s going to get out. There are more chorouses to that than there are to Mademoiselle from Armenti&egrave;res. We might as well get ready to tell our grandchildren. &ldquo;That old guy out there with the cane? He&rsquo;s just faking. Watch him throw it away when they start the next rush.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

NATIONAL LEAGUE

<p class="dropcap"><b><span>T</span>he steadiest defenseman in the National Hockey League is what young Red Kelly of the Wings is called around the loop. But if you look deeper into his records you&rsquo;ll find that he&rsquo;s not only one of the best in the League but also the highest scorer of the Blueline fraternity.</b></p><p><b>There is no need to inquire just why we chose &mdash; Kelly as the Player-Of-The-Week and &lsquo;Schaefer Award&rsquo; winner. The Wings won two games last week and tied one and the Flame Thatched Kid from Simcoe, Ontario netted himself five assists. He now leads the rearguards in points with nine&mdash;two goals and seven assists.</b></p><p><b>On November 8 at Boston, Red assisted on a pair of goals as the Wings and Bruins played to a 3-3 stalemate. Then in Toronto last Saturday the Wings broke through to whip the Leafs after the latter had run up an 11-game unbeaten streak. The score was 3-1 and once again the amazing Mr. Kelly came through with a pair of assists. Returning home to the Olympia on Sunday November 12, the Wings whitewashed the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 and Kelly rung up another assist, his fifth in three games.</b></p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-31/1377978-1-eng-US/f0009-312.jpg" title="f0009-31" width="152" height="227"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Red Kelly</b></figcaption></div><p><b>To appreciate Red&rsquo;s value to the Wings one must only look at his record last season. He was one of the outstanding defenseman in the league and way ahead in the scoring department. He scored 15 goals and 25 assists for 40 points. Yet he only spent nine minutes in the penalty box and he was placed on the second National League All-Star team.</b></p><p><b>Red is the guy who is always there when the going gets tough and you can ways count on him to come through when the chips are down. To give your best is all any coach asks but Red doesn&rsquo;t stop there. He&rsquo;s one of those players who believes he can always give just a little more and he never stops trying. He&rsquo;s in the game from the opening whistle to the closing one and he&rsquo;s a threat every moment he&rsquo;s on the ice. He&rsquo;s a good man on the point and capable when it come to killing off penalties. In the rough going he&rsquo;ll often be found playing on the forward line.</b></p><p><b>Kelly isn&rsquo;t a holler guy for he believes that actions speak louder than words and his play proves it.</b></p><p><b>No you can&rsquo;t dispute that the quiet spoken, likeable rearguard it a good choice as Player-Of-The-Week.</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

The N.O.H.A., one of the most progressive hockey organizations in the country, is fortunate in having such able hockey leaders. Included in the group are newly-elected president, A. Earle Hodge, fifth from left, front row; Bob Crosby, secretary-treasurer, extreme left, front row; Jim Aspin, immediate past president, third from left, front row; and Max Silverman, second from right, front row. Silverman organized the meeting.</b></p></figcaption></div><p>SUDBURY, Ont&mdash;</p><p>Most important item discussed at the 1950 annual meeting of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association held at the Nickel Range Hotel recently was whether Northern Ontario should be a separate branch of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. At the present time the N.O.H.A. is an affiliate of the Ontario Hockey Association and doesn&rsquo;t have a vote in C.A.H.A. matters.</p><p>Max Silverman, who made the original suggestion, said that he figured the north country had advanced to the stage where it was big enough and active enough to play a larger part in the affairs of the C.A.H.A. Silverman cited the large scale erection of hockey rinks throughout Northern Ontario during the past few years.</p><p>&ldquo;The cessation of wholesale migration of Northern Ontario hockey players to other centers is another reason why I think the N.O.H.A. should become a separate branch,&rdquo; Silverman stated. &ldquo;I think this would give us an opportunity to meet competition on a more even basis and also to promote better hockey in Northern Ontario,&rdquo; he added.</p><p>A. Earle Hodge of Falconbridge, who was elected president of the N.O.H.A. succeeding Jim Aspin, wasn&rsquo;t in complete agreement with Silverman on the north being a separate branch. &ldquo;I can foresee many obstacles to hurdle and I would suggest that the N.O.H.A. executive study this matter very thoroughly, and then present it at the annual meeting next year,&rdquo; said Hodge.</p><h2><b>Dudley Against It</b></h2><p>George Dudley, secretary manager of the C.A.H.A., spoke against the resolution on the grounds that more branches would only complicate the situation in the parent body. &ldquo;The equal representation between large and small branches in the C.A.H.A. has been a continual source of trouble,&rdquo; Dudley pointed out. &ldquo;We are considering amalgamating some of the smaller branches, rather than accepting new ones.&rdquo; Dudley also mentioned that the uneven representation in the Dominion association was the principal reason for experimenting with the &ldquo;major&rdquo; or &ldquo;super&rdquo; hockey series this season.</p><p>The 1950 annual N.O.H.A. meeting was the biggest and best yet and everyone had to doff their chapeau to Max Silverman for this as it was Maxie&rsquo;s enthusiastic and energetic efforts that put the meeting over insuch big league fashion. Hockey delegates from every section of Northern Ontario and parts of Quebec were in attendance at the day-long session. Representatives from both the Ontario Hockey Association and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association were also on hand for the meeting.</p><p>Other officers elected besides Hodge were Charlie Brown of Timmins, vice-president, and Bob Crosby of Schumacher, secretary-treasurer. Brown and Crosby were elected by acclamation. The executive committee for the 1950-51 season will comprise the following members: Lome Miller, Noranda; Carl Palangia, North Bay; George Charron, Timmins; Jack Wild, Swastika; Clare Binkley, New Liskeard; Herb Cliffe, Sault Ste.

McTavish and George Panter of the O.H.A. attended the meeting, while W. B. George, 1st vice-president of the C.A.H. and George Dudley, secretary-manager of the same organization represented Canada&rsquo;s major puck body.</p><p>Ken McKenzie, director of publicity for the National Hockey League and publisher of THE HOCKEY NEWS, was the guest speaker at the banquet held in the Nickel Range Hotel following the meeting.

Every Night’s Big One For Knights

<p>ST.

The most quick scoring has been done by the sharpshooting Omaha Knights, but they have a lot of company.</p><p>When the Knights trounced Kansas City 12-3 early in the season they got five goals in six minutes and nine seconds &mdash; a season record. They also set some kind of mark by banging home a pair of goals in five seconds.</p><p>The Knights have been on the other end of the &ldquo;quick goals,&rdquo; too. On Oct. 29 the Milwaukee Sea Gulls hammered home three goals in a minute and 46 seconds. Two of the points came within seven seconds.</p><p>The St. Paul Saints also managed some &ldquo;quickies&rdquo; against Omaha, hitting two in 11 seconds. Kansas City got into the act against the Knights, too, with a couple in 31 seconds.</p><p>The Oct. 26 game between the Saints and Kansas City produced the greatest number of &ldquo;quick ones.&rdquo; The Royals hit a pair in 50 seconds and another in 48 only to have the Saints come back and pop two in 13 seconds.

Yes, that&rsquo;s what happened at Halifax on the night of Saturday, November 4, when the Santamarians squared off with Moncton Hawks. They played three regulation periods but only two, minutes and 45 seconds of the sudden death overtime when the referees called it off.</p><p>It was the first time in the 23-year history of the Halifax Forum that a cancellation had been forced. The game will go into the records as a tie, the first of the young Big Four season and the second straight overtime tilt on Halifax ice.</p><p>Meanwhile Saint John Beavers have earned the nickname of giant-killers; Twice in one week the Beavers defeated the Prince Edward Islanders, once at Charlottetown, in bitterly fought contests.</p><h2><b>Snapped At 10</b></h2><p>The Islanders had won 10 straight games before they bowed to the Beavers 2-1. Then defeated the Hawks to start a new streak, but it was short lived as Leavers came up again, this time 3-1.</p><p>Meanwhile, Moncton Hawks are showing signs of life. Gordie Drillon is confident his team will sake out of the doldrums. He has some good hockey players in tow but they haven&rsquo;t been clicking</p><p>In Cape Breton the Sydney Millichaires are still in front with five victories and three ties. Glace has passed the North Sydney victories and there is talk that the Vies may not last the league route. Meanwhile, the Miners, who almost didn&rsquo;t start this year, are snaping up but they can&rsquo; master the Sydney jinx.</p><p>A newcomer has jumped into the scoring lead as Glace Bay&rsquo;s Kenmy Biggs has a slim margin over three contenders. Scores have been lower in the Cape Breton than in the Big Four circiut.</p><p>Halifax Saint Mary&rsquo;s junior development plan has become such a success it is reported Marty Barry will put all his time behind it and the club will go hunting another coach for the senior team.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

The big fellow with the smoking slap shot brings cheers from the partisan crowd every time he levels a flying opponent or lets go a whizzing shot.</p><p>Eddie D&rsquo;Aoust, who played with Brown at Glace Bay for the past two years, has taken over as the club&rsquo;s regular goalie.

Amateur Parade At Quick Glance

<h2><b>First Win</b></h2><p class="dropcap"><b><span>W</span>hen Victoria defeated the Royals 3-1 on November 4 it was the first time the Cougars have been able to win a game on New Westminster ice. It also was their first victory on foreign ice in 32 games.</b></p><h2><b>An Allergy</b></h2><p><b>Tacoma is allergic to Canadian Ice. In two seasons of professional play and including games played this season to Nov. 6. the Rockets have never won a regular league game on Vancouver ice. They have lost 14 straight games to the Canucks in Vancouver. During the same period they have only won one game and tied two in New Westminster.</b></p><h2><b>HOW THE RACE GOES</b></h2><p><b>STANDINGS ON TUE. A.M., NOV. 7</b></p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0017-01205/1379221-1-eng-US/f0017-012.jpg" title="f0017-01" width="328" height="99"></div><h2><b>RESULTS OF GAMES</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0017-02171/1379214-1-eng-US/f0017-022.jpg" title="f0017-02" width="305" height="98"></div><p>The Portland Eagles continue to lead the League by a single point, being held to a lone victory the past week. New Westminster could do no better and continue to hold second place. The surging Tacoma Rockets won all three games they played to improve their third place standing and are now one point out of second place and two points from the top.</p><p>Victoria and Vancouver each won a game and remain tied for fourth spot although Vancouver have a game in hand. Seattle lost both of their games and the homeless Ironmen remain in the basement. They have played four less games than Victoria.</p><p>Seattle have acquired a new goalie. Red McAtee, and expect one or two new forwards to bolster their attack.</p><p>Norm Kirk, New Westminster left winger, continues to lead the scoring race with 22 points. Ron Rowe of Tacoma was player of the week scoring 5 goals. Kirk continues to lead the goal getters with 12 goals and Walt Samanski, of Portland, leads the playmakers with 13 assists. Don Webster, Victoria defenseman, moved into first place on the penalty list having spent 42 minutes of his 11 games played in the &lsquo;sin bin&rsquo;.</p><p>Lucien Deschene, New Westminster goalkeeper, leads the netminders with a 2.85 average of goals against per game and has booted back 381 shots for a .905 percentage of shots stopped.</p><p>Bob Love of New Westminster leads the hat trick department with two feats of that variety. Goalie Tom Karakas of Portland has the unhappy distinction of having had no less than three hat tricks scored against him in the Eagles&rsquo; nets.</p><p>Samanski, a prolific scorer, has scored the most winning goals, winning three games.</p><p>Although Portland are In first place in the standings, they are not the best defensive team according to the records. Other clubs have scored a total of 4 6 goals against the Eagles, but New Westminster, Vancouver, and last place Seattle have 40, 44, and 40 goals respectively scored against them.</p><p>Leading the shutout department are goalies Jim Strachan of Vancouver, Doug Stevenson of Tacoma and Lucien Deschene of New Westminster, each of whom have one to their credit.</p><h2><b>TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31</b></h2><p>TACOMA. &mdash; Poor passing and a couple of players named Doug Adams and Ronnie Rowe turned Victoria Cougars&rsquo; trip to Tacoma into a mournful occasion. The Rockets blasted their way to a 5-2 victory.</p><p><b>Victoria:</b> Goal, Highton; defence, Leger. D.

Fighting Coach Rudy Pilous of St. Catharines Juniors (wearing the flashing grin and the ditto) is entirely unabashed as he poses with some of his boys after tangling with the referee.</b></p></figcaption></div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>With eight of the 10 clubs jammed near the top the junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; series of the Ontario Hockey Association is bristling with action on and off the ice &hellip; Coach Rudy Pilous of St. Catharines Teepees ran into a 10-game suspension, ordered by the OHA Executive Committee as punishment for pulling his team off the ice recently at Windsor in protesting a referee&rsquo;s decision &hellip; During the Windsor game Referee Frank Udvari of Kitchener charged the St. Catharines players with slapping the boards with their sticks, an offense which calls for an automatic two-minute penalty. Pilous not only refused to accept the penalty, but also declined to name a player for the offense, and after considerable delay and discussion, pulled his team off the ice.</p><p>Referee Udvari had no other course to follow, but award the game to Windsor who were leading 5-2 at the time.</p><p>In serving the 10-game suspension, Coach Pilous has to remain away from his team when they are playing until Dec. 3</p><p>Determined to put an end to the continual wrangling between Guelph and St. Michael&rsquo;s over a player deal, the OHA Executive by a 5-4 decision ruled the deal which sent Willie Marshall from the Irish to Guelph, be called off and Marshall returned to St. Michael&rsquo;s.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0018-01213/1379259-1-eng-US/f0018-012.jpg" title="f0018-01" width="181" height="312"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Willie Marshall</b></figcaption></div><p>George Dudley, CAHA manager secretary in his capacity as OHA treasurer, wrote the successful motion as follows:</p><p>&ldquo;The deal between Guelph and St. Michael&rsquo;s junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; clubs not having been completed (players John Negladiuk and Ken Laufman were supposed to go to St. Michael&rsquo;s, who got in return Willie Marshall, Collegians&rsquo; scoring ace) the OHA Executive instructs that Marshall be returned to St. Michael&rsquo;s and Negladiuk to Guelph and Guelph&rsquo;s payment of $500 be returned.&rdquo;</p><h2>More Troubles</h2><p>Galt Black Hawks who lost to Guelph on the same night the OHA ordered Marshall returned to St. Michael&rsquo;s, have a so protested, as Marshall played for Guelph, scoring a goal and one assist. All of which tosses the whole mess back to the OHA Executive, whether they want it or not.</p><p>In the meantime Happy Emms&rsquo; Barrie Flyers climbed into sole possession of first place after scoring a 7-3 win over the winless and last place Waterloo Hurricanes. Stratford, Galt and St. Catharines were all tied up in second place one point behind the pace-setting Barrie crew &hellip; Four other clubs, Windsor, Marlboros, Guelph and Oshawa, were also the surging up, and after their first eight games were locked in a four-way tie for third place with 10 points each.</p><p>Only Toronto St. Michael&rsquo;s and the new Waterloo entry are buried deep in the cellar. The Junior Irish have won but one game in nine starts, losing six and winding up with two draw decisions. The situation in Waterloo has reached the serious side with the home-town Hurricanes still seeking their first win after nine games, having dropped eight and tieing once.</p><p>Coach Bobby Davidson has his Toronto Marlboros running smoothly again with Don Lockhart, last year&rsquo;s top goalie, back in action. He suffered a knee injury before the season started and was obliged to miss several early games. Return of Dan Windley to the defense has been of great importance to Marlboro&rsquo;s current streak of three wins &hellip; Despite the suspension of their coach Rudy Pilous, St. Catharines Teepees have maintained a winning gait.</p><p>Sunday afternoon hockey at Toronto&rsquo;s Maple Leaf Gardens is winning fan favor. On the first two Sundays, the paid attendance passed the 4500 mark, which is about 2000 better than the Saturday afternoon crowds of last season.</p><h2>Irish Headache</h2><p>St. Michael&rsquo;s seniors in the OHA Major race are stuck with the Saturday afternoon headache at the Gardens and so far have failed to attract more than 500 fans to both of their home games. Marlboro seniors playing at the Gardens on Friday nights have done a little better with crowds around the 2000 mark, but the lack of senior hockey interest has the OHA worried.</p><p>&ldquo;Of course it&rsquo;s hard to judge so early in the hockey season with major rugby games as big Saturday afternoon counter attractions,&rdquo; says George Panter, OHA secretary-manager. &ldquo;We are watching the situation and unless the condition improves once the football is over, something will have to be done.&rdquo;</p><p>Both, Hamilton Tigers and Kitchener&rsquo;s Dutchmen hit back at their Toronto opponents, with home wins over Marlboros and St. Michael&rsquo;s, but for the second straight week they failed to get over the &ldquo;hump&rdquo; playing on the larger ice surface at Maple Leaf Gardens.</p><h2>Shutout For Dale</h2><p>Hamilton&rsquo;s goalie, Bruce Dale came up with a 2-0 shutout over Marlboros in Hamilton&rsquo;s Barton Street Arena, but underwent a terrific puck bombardment as St. Michael&rsquo;s stormed his citadel for an 11-4 decision at Maple Leaf Gardens.</p><p>Kitchener&rsquo;s Dutchmen came up with a sparkling 5-3 decision over St. Michael&rsquo;s Majors with Mickey Roth and Billy Walsh sharing scoring honors. However, returning to the Gardens, the Dutchmen fell before Marlboros 4-2. Dutchmen, thanks to Art Hurst&rsquo;s rugged display, gave the Dukes a going over before accepting defeat with Buddy Kemp, defenseman, suffering a fractured thumb and Al Buchanan&rsquo;s bad knee was given another jolt.</p><p>Marlboros and St. Michael&rsquo;s were locked tightly in a first-place tie, with six points, while Hamilton and Kitchener shared the second position as both clubs have two out of their six games for four points.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

P. Gorman</b></figcaption></div><p>When T. P. (Tommy) Gorman predicted some weeks ago that his Ottawa Senators would set a hot pace in the Quebec Senior League this season, genial Tay Pay, as usual, wasn&rsquo;t kidding. At last report, the high flying Barber Poles were riding on the wings of an eight game unbeaten streak and looking better with every start. There are a number of reasons to account for the sudden resurgence of the Senators this season, and not the least of them is the newly created Kid Line which has caused interest to soar to a fever point in the Capital.</p><p>Centered by Jack Leclair, the Quebec speedster, and flanked by two home brews, Larry Regan and Hugh (Rip) Riopelle, the new - combination was just what the doctor ordered for the faltering Senators and has been a big factor in their rush to the top of the Slater circuit;</p><p>Strangest part of the whole story, however, the the way the line came together. It almost didn&rsquo;t.</p></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><h2>How the Story Goes</h2><p>Leclair, a Toronto chattel, was still at the Leaf training camp in St. Catharines when the QSHL campaign got under way, and his future destination was anybody&rsquo;s guess. Certainly, it did not appear as if he would be back with the Barber Poles.</p><p>Riopelle, an Ottawa boy who played with Quebec Aces last season, was the cause celebre of several QSHL meetings early in the campaign and had no little difficulty attempting to pry his release away from Punch Imlach.</p><p>Regan, another Leaf chattel, was with Leclair at the Toronto camp and seemed destined to line up with St. Michael&rsquo;s College in the new Ontario Major Senior circuit.</p><p>But time and T.P. solved all difficulties and next thing the fans knew, the Kid Line was fast becoming the No. 1 topic of conversation around the Capital, not to mention the Slater circuit.</p><p>Regan, to date, has been the payoff man of the trio, coming up with several important goals to help the Barber Poles maintain their string. The clever right winger scored a hat trick against Valleyfield, and two weeks ago beat Royals in Montreal with an overtime goal.</p><p>Senior hockey is an old story to Regan who was playing with the Senators when he was 17 years old. That was the year Ottawa went West to play Edmonton in the Allan Cup finals and lost out. The following two years saw Regan with Marlboro Juniors, of the OHA, where he also had occasion to move up with the senior Marlies. Both Leclair and Riopelle, by some coincidence, played together at St. Patrick&rsquo;s College as juniors. Leclair went back to Quebec forspell before returning to the Senators, while Riopelle played with both Shawinigan Falls and Quebec Aces before coming back to Ottawa Coach Bill Durnan, former Hab goalie, is tickled pink with showing of the Kid Line and predicts they will be big factor in the Senator cause this season. So do the fans, and that&rsquo;s why they&rsquo;re turning out in greater numbers than ever this season to cheer the Barber Poles.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Denver was blessed with seven straight home games before hitting the road November 9, so Bill was eager to latch onto a few victories in order to make a good impression on the new fans.</p><p>Falcons didn&rsquo;t exactly have the customers beating at the doors for every game, but during their first five home appearances they played to 21,156 paid, customers, or an average of 4,231 fang per game, that ain&rsquo;t hay in the USHL.</p><p>And the reason? Simple&mdash;Falcons won four of their first five tilts, convincing the customers that at long last Denver had what appeared to be a winning team. There is nothing this town wants more than a team that can hold its own and perhaps finish on top or somewhere up among the leaders.</p><h2>Can Improve Still</h2><p>Yet, the Falcons haven&rsquo;t looked as sharp as they might have. The team appears slow and on one or two occasions passing and timing was ragged. But in every game the Birds got more than their share of shots, at the same time putting up a fairly stout defense.</p><p>The opposition managed only six goals in the first four tilts, but on October 29 Tulsa rapped in seven goals while the Falcons hit their season high with a nine-goal outburst in a wild and loosely-played contest.</p><p>The George Agar-Bill Warwick-Bill Richardson line, Minneapolis&rsquo; high-scoring unit of last year, has not yet officially skated as a unit, but here and there the three have been on the ice at the same time.</p><p>Eventually, when a few more deals are worked out and the Falcons are set for the dash to the playoffs, Cook will put this line on the ice.</p><p>According to General Manager Lyle Wright, more strength is due in Denver before the season gets much older. After four straight scoreless games, Agar finally exploded with a goal and four assists in the 9-7 win over Tulsa, while Richardson got his first points of the season with two goals and two assists.</p><p>Warwick, who&rsquo;s been picking up points regularity, was the team leader after five games with four and four for eight.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>
