<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div>CHICAGO, Ill&mdash;Last spring it seemed rather unlikely that Roy Conacher, Adam Brown or Don Morrison would find their way into Chicago Black Hawk uniforms this season.Roy decided to retire from hockey a short time after his older brother, Charlie, announced he wouldn&rsquo;t return as manager of the Hawks for the 1950-51 campaign. In an even dozen years in the big league Roy had scored 197 goals and this evidently seemed a good enough figure at which to wind things up.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02574/2525424-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="566" height="589"><figcaption class="caption-body">Roy Conacher</figcaption></div>Brown netted only two goals and two assists with the Hawks in their first 25 games last season and seemed unwilling to play for Conacher so he was shipped down to Kansas City of the United States league. From there he was sent to the AHL&rsquo;s St. Louis Flyers and finished the year there with a record of 13 goals and 11 assists in 24 games.The chances that Morrison would become a Hawk seemed most remote since he was the property of Detroit&rsquo;s Red Wings. As captain of the Wings&rsquo; Indianapolis affiliate during the 1949-50 schedule he was the team&rsquo;s second ranking scorer. He notched 21 goals and 38 assists for an impressive 59 points in 57 games.As 1950 wore on and the early fall treks to training camp loomed nearer, a series of unexpected events suddenly altered the status of the trio.Conacher announced that he&rsquo;d reconsidered and would play at least another season with the Hawks. He wanted to join the select 200 goal club.The new Chicago coach, Ebbie Goodfellow, said that he liked Brown&rsquo;s work in St.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03487/2525417-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="580" height="581"><figcaption class="caption-body">Adam Brown</figcaption></div>Louis and would give the 30-year-old veteran another fling in the NHL.Morrison&rsquo;s future had changed too. He became a part of the Chicago organization in the big nine player deal with Detroit.Early in September Don, Roy and Adam were among the 150 ice sport veterans and rookies who made their way to the Black Hawk&rsquo;s North Bay, Ont. training camp.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-04356/2525410-1-eng-US/f0002-042.jpg" title="f0002-04" width="582" height="577"><figcaption class="caption-body">Don Morrison</figcaption></div>Morrison left from his homo in Omaha, Neb. where he and his family settled in 1947 when he played with the Omaha Knights of the USHL. Brown and Conacher departed from their Ontario homes in Hamilton and Midland respectively.Shortly after their arrival, Coach Goodfellow decided to make the trio a line and they have been together ever since. In the squad&rsquo;s six exhibition games, Roy netted four goals, Adam got three and Don knocked in two.It was about this time that they were dubbed &ldquo;the comeback line&rdquo; and the title seemed very appropriate. Both Morrison and Brown had come back from the minors and Conacher was returning to action from retirement.When the regular league schedule began midway in October the once discounted trio immediately stepped in and proved their worth. At Montreal in&rsquo; the Hawks&rsquo; first game, Conacher notched his 198th National League goal, but a late Canadien rally denied Chicago a win as the score ended in a deadlock 3 to 3.At Toronto, two nights later, the &ldquo;comebacks&rdquo; really turned it on as Brown scored both goals to lead the squad to a 2 to 1 conquest of the Maple Leafs.And this is the way it&rsquo;s been going most of the season so far. Conacher eased into the 200 goal group and at latest count had upped his total to 202.Adam Brown has continued to play his aggressive type game and seems to be a 100 percent improvement over last season. Morrison&rsquo;s scoring record is slightly behind that of his flying wingmen, but Goodfellow is still plenty glad that the 24-year-old kid is around. The coach has never retracted the statement he made about Don shortly after the trade brought him to Chicago.&ldquo;Morrison is one of the game&rsquo;s best forecheckers and should further tighten our defense. You need men like him around to help out the rearguards when they need it.&rdquo;The &ldquo;comebacks&rdquo; are really doing just that and opposing goaltenders are probably wondering just when they&rsquo;ll start taking it easy, but Don, Roy and Adam will no doubt keep them in suspense for a good long time. &#9632;

LAST WEEK’S X-WORD KEY

<div class="byline">By LEN BRAMSON</div>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;The strange case of the &lsquo;runaway&rsquo; hockey players, namely Larry Zeidel and Bill Heindl is going to be investigated by a special committee from the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association. At a meeting in the Windsor Hotel in downtown Montreal last weekend the Q.A.H.A. voted to form a special committee to study the decision of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association to allow Heindl and Zeidel to play for the Saskatoon Quakers of the Western Canada League without first being released by th clubs they last played with.The C.A.H.A. first suspended the pair following a Quebec Senior League protest. However, in a mail Vote last week, branch presidents of the C.A.H.A. and other officers agreed to permit Heindl and Zeidel to stay in Saskatoon.Now comes the committee to look into the situation, if there is a situation, that is. Most critics and observers who have commented on the state of affairs have just laughed and walked away. They can find no situation that needs investigating. To them it is an open and shut case and neither Dick Tracy, Sam Spade or the whole Pinkerton Detective Agency can find room for investigation. Zeidel and Heindl whether they were in the right or wrong, have been given the o.k. to stay in Saskatoon and play with the Quakers. Those are the facts and no matter how much you pry in and around them, they can&rsquo;t be changed.The Q.A.H.A. on the other hand, sees much to gain by first looking over the situation before making any drastic decisions. As George Slater, president of the Quebec Senior League put it: &ldquo;Where will we go and what will we do if we drop out of the C.A.H.A. We don&rsquo;t want to walk off a spring board in the dark.&rdquo;Most of the Q.A.H.A. executives are all for waiting and investigating the affair before making their decision. Some, not a majority, have voted to drop out of the C.A.H.A. fold and form a separate body on their own. That separate body would be similar to the Amateur Hockey Association of the United States. But even if such a thing were to happen the Q.A.H.A. would then have to turn around and make some sort of a deal with the C.A.H.A., for the majority of players in Canada would still be linked with the National body.What has made the Q.A.H.A. burn more than anything else is the fact that President Doug Grimston of the C.A.H.A. lifted the suspension of Zeidel and Heindl on his own authority. When the pair first skipped Quebec in favor of the West the Q.A.H.A. asked for their suspension. They had failed to receive their releases from their Quebec clubs and therefore still belonged to the teams they last performed with.As one official put it: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s exactly the same as two players from the Montreal Canadiens packing their bags and turning up in Toronto to play with the Leafs without a release, contract or anything else in the way of a transfer, and the N.H.L. giving such a thing its sanction.&rdquo;They believe that if it can happen once it will happen again. They say the C.A.H.A. is in error even thinking about giving either Zeidel or Heindl the o.k. to play.When asked the reason for the k.o. Doug Grimston replied that the Quakers were in a bad way for players. Without the pair they would not be able to ice a team. In such a case they would have to think about dropping from the league.And one Q.A.H.A. official replied that: &ldquo;judging by the way the Quakers are going, even with Zeidel and Heindl they would have been better off to drop from the league. They&rsquo;re not going anywhere anyway so those players would have been better off if they had stayed in Quebec.&rdquo;Just what is going to happen remains to be seen. Although both bodies are holding their own ground neither are really intent upon seeing the C.A.H.A. break up. For the C.A.H.A. it would mean a loss of over $70,000 and that&rsquo;s too much. &#9632;

THE PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div><h2>Wins Six Out Of Seven, Ties One, Has 1.86 Avg.</h2>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Is Turk Broda going to become the Leafs&rsquo; Sub goaler? Has the time finally arrived for the 36-year-old Broda to step down from the job he&rsquo;s coveted for 11 years in favor of the 24-year-old Al Rollins?No official announcement has been made by the Toronto management about the move, but Rollins has played the last four games for the Leafs. The team hasn&rsquo;t lost a game during that stint, either, winning all four tussles. Rollins, the rangy six-foot, three inch netminder, is the only goalie in the National League who hasn&rsquo;t lost a game this season.Rollins has played goal for the Leafs in seven contests this year and his record is six wins and one draw. This is a remarkable performance by the curly-haired cage custodian whom many figured didn&rsquo;t have the ability to stick in the N.H.L. when he was first purchased by Toronto from Cleveland. He played two games for the Leafs last season and allowed four goals to get by him in one game and earned a shutout in the other fray. This gave him a goals-against average of 2.00.<h2>Smythe Announced It</h2>Conn Smythe, president and managing director of the Leafs, announced during the past summer that Rollins would divide the goalkeeping with Broda this season. He intimated however, that Broda would play considerably more games than Rollins during the regular campaign. After the first 21 games played this season by Toronto, Broda has played exactly twice as many games as Rollins&mdash;14 to seven.The play of Rollins has been so effective in the seven games in which he&rsquo;s played and his record has been so impressive that there is a feeling that he might move into the regular goaltenders post with the Leafs and Broda will be his understudy. Rollins has allowed 13 goals to be scored against him in seven games for an average of 1.86, while Broda has had 31 pucks beat him in 14 skirmishes for an average of 2.21. The venerable Turk has the most shutouts among the goalies in the N.H.L. at the present time. Turk has blanked the opposition on four occasions this year.<h2>May Help Turk</h2>Of course there might be nothing to it and Broda might very well be holding the number one post as Toronto goalkeeper at season&rsquo;s end. It might be that the rest the big boy is receiving this winter will be just what&rsquo;s needed to enable him to finish the season with a top notch record.But the way Rollins has been playing of late makes the possibility of Rollins and Broda switching positions far from remote. Rollins was slated at the start of the 1950-51 season to be Broda&rsquo;s understudy and the Leaf&rsquo;s sub goalie, but before the current season is finished it might be the other way around, with Rollins the regular goalie and Broda the sub. &#9632;

Rollins Overshadows Broda In Leafs’ Cage

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div>BOSTON, Mass.-One of the biggest surprises that the Boston Bruins have ever pulled on their unsuspecting hockey public was the acquisition of &ldquo;Wild&rdquo; Bill Ezinicki.But since Ezinicki has been a Bruin, equally surprising has been his display of all-round ability.In the years that he played for Toronto, Ezinicki attained a high degree of notoriety here, not for his skill as an opposing wing but as a specialist at dealing out physical punishment to Bruins.It was always a tossup between Jack Stewart of Detroit and Chicago and Ezinicki as to which ranked first on Boston&rsquo;s &ldquo;hate&rdquo; parade. If there was an edge, it belonged to Bad Bill.The high disdain in which Ezinicki was held even carried over into his first appearance in a Bruins&rsquo; uniform, His debut here was accompanied by a chorus of boos when Eddie Cummings announced his name and number over the Gardens&rsquo; public address system.Since then, however, Ezinicki has been accepted as a Proper Bostonian. From a bad-tempered, nasty enemy specializing in crippling Bruins from behind, he has developed into an aggressive, hustling forward who backs down from no one.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-05249/2525476-1-eng-US/f0002-052.jpg" title="f0002-05" width="258" height="415"><figcaption class="caption-body">Vic Lynn</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-06158/2525469-1-eng-US/f0002-062.jpg" title="f0002-06" width="259" height="413"><figcaption class="caption-body">Lynn Patrick</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0788/2525462-1-eng-US/f0002-072.jpg" title="f0002-07" width="271" height="423"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bill Ezinicki</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0852/2525455-1-eng-US/f0002-082.jpg" title="f0002-08" width="267" height="414"><figcaption class="caption-body">Dune Fisher</figcaption></div>Actually, the Bruins and their supporters found out in his first two games that Ezinicki was a pretty good player, and that they had been underrating him all along.&ldquo;Frankly, I always considered him just a body-checking forward,&rdquo; admitted Coach Lynn Patrick. &ldquo;I never realized that he could pass the way he can. He has made some plays for us which have been wonderful&rdquo;.&ldquo;He also knows how to forecheck,&rdquo; continued Patrick, &ldquo;and he is going to get the puck much more often in the opponent&rsquo;s zone for us than we were getting it.&ldquo;He is definitely a major leaguer,&rdquo; the Bruins&rsquo; coach added. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know what his differences with the Toronto club were, but he is playing major league hockey for us. He belongs up here.&rdquo;When Patrick got Ezinicki, along with Vic Lynn and Duncan Fisher, he shuffled his forward lines and assigned Bad Bill to a combination which included two of his erstwhile targets as a Maple Leaf.Patrick put him at right wing on a line with Capt. Milt Schmidt at center and Woody Dumart at left wing. It was Ezinicki who charged Schmidt right out of the 1948 Stanley Cup playoffs in Toronto, and last winter he twice cut Dumart around the eye for extensive stitching jobs.There was no harboring of grudges by the Bruins&rsquo; two &ldquo;old pros&rdquo;, however. They welcomed Ezinicki warmly.&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not surprised at his passing ability,&rdquo; declared Schmidt, &ldquo;because all of those Toronto fellows can pass. He knows what he&rsquo;s doing all the and he&rsquo;s going to help us plenty.&rdquo;&ldquo;No left wings will go skating in against us with their heads down when he&rsquo;s on the ice,&rdquo; observed Dumart, speaking from experience.The Schmidt-Ezinicki-Dumart line returned a profit in less than four periods as a unit, and against&mdash;of all teams&mdash;Toronto. Ezinicki scored one goal. Dumart two as the Bruins beat the Leafs for their first home victory.The early effectiveness of the three newcomers has eased the criticism which was heaped on the Bruins after the biggest one-day trading spree in the club&rsquo;s history.They gave up five players, four of them major leaguers, to get three were playing in the minors, and one of the five was Fernie Flaman, ranked with Schmidt as Boston&rsquo;s favorite son.&ldquo;We needed weight on the forward line and players who could go in said Patrick. &ldquo;The fellows we let go were being pushed strong enough. Fisher, Lynn and Ezinicki have the kind have the scorers; we needed forwards who could get the get the puck for us,&rdquo; around. They weren&rsquo;t of drive we need. We puck for us.&rdquo;Fisher had been optioned to St. Paul by the Rangers and Ezinicki and Lynn were playing with Pittsburgh when the Bruins embarked on their shopping tour. They gave the Rangers forwards Zellio Toppazzini and Ed Harrison, then with Hershey, for Fisher. Toronto received center Phil Maloney, wing Ken Smith and the sturdy Flaman, all being routed to Pittsburgh in exchange for the two ex-Leafs.<h2>Flanman Departed With Heavy Heart</h2>The departure of Flaman was what lighted the fire under the Bruins&rsquo; front office. Bernie came to Boston to play with the amateur Olympics when he was only 16 years old, and he was the Bruins&rsquo; most colourful and most consistently effective defenseman for the last three years.Flaman married a Boston girl, bought a home and became an American citizen. His roots had grown deep, and his leaving did not set well.The concensus here was that the deal was a master stroke for Toronto, for Connie Smythe has frequently expressed a liking for Flaman, who will have no difficulty in winning a regular job for himself with the Leafs.There were reports that Ezinicki was most reluctant to come to Boston, that he finally submitted to the persuasive powers of Tommy Anderson, his coach at Pittsburgh, after others had failed.At any rate, his all-round play, plus that of Lynn and Fisher, has perked up the Bruins, who were badly in need of perking up when he did arrive. &#9632;

He Was Once Number One On Boston’s Hate Parade

<div class="byline">BOB HESKETH</div>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Conn Smythe, the general manager of the Maple Leafs, has never been discovered sitting on the short end of a hockey deal and there&rsquo;s a rumour current that the last one he completed with the Bruins of Boston is no exception.Smythe, a couple of days before the consummation of the deal which sent Bill Ezinicki and Vic Lynn from the Leaf farm club at Pittsburgh in exchange for Fern Haman, Kenny Smith and Phil Maloney, told reporters after a Leaf practice that he had been approached by Art Ross on behalf of the faltering Bruins but he had straight-armed the tackle.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01599/2525379-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="408" height="591"><figcaption class="caption-body">Fern Hainan</figcaption></div>He admitted he had listened offers for Ezinicki, the hard rock right winger who was at that time just rounding into shape after an unhealthy summer and after reporting to the Leaf training camp late and also for Vic Lynn the Leaf left winger. Both Ez and Lynn were on duty with the Pittsburgh Hornet farmsters the former to round himself into shape and the latter because Danny Lewickl caught on for a left wing job with the Leafs and there were too many candidates around to keep him up in the big league.Not InterestedBut Smythe said that he hadn&rsquo;t been too interested in Ross&rsquo; feelers.&ldquo;He wanted to give me a player who couldn&rsquo;t even stay in the major leagues,&rdquo; said Smythe.&ldquo;Besides,&rdquo; he added, &ldquo;the Leafs are going for muscle men now. We don&rsquo;t want any college grads or anything like that. They&rsquo;ve got to be hard to make our club.&rdquo;His desire for the muscle men stems from the fact that the Leafs are a little short of them.They won three straight Stanley Cups on a style of hockey that featured heavy body checking and on the theory that the enemy can&rsquo;t soore a goal when he&rsquo;s on the seat of his pants.This year their skyrocket surge to the top of the league has been noticeably devoid of such tactics. The additions of Tod Sloan, Lewicki and the general concentration of playmaking and passing instead of hip-hitting have slightly changed the Leaf strategy. So far it&rsquo;s paid off but there&rsquo;s a possibility that there may come a day when tactics will have to be changed.&ldquo;I&rsquo;m hoping that Hugh Bolton, who has been out with a knee injury since training camp will make up the proper balance in the hitting department,&rdquo; said Smythe.Well Bolton is just on the way back and will make the fifth defenseman on the Leaf squad.But if he doesn&rsquo;t provide the balance, Flaman might.There has been conjecture that Ezzie and Lynn were just about over the hill insofar as the Leafs were concerned. Probably they&rsquo;re not insofar as the Bruins are concerned though and Ez, if he can make an upset stomach which was the cause of a terrific loss of weight and a general disability during summer behave for him, will probably be smashing the opposition for a good many seasons with the B&rsquo;s if the management and the fans treat him right. Lynn is a hustling kind of hockey player who doesn&rsquo;t mind stepping into anybody either.Besides Haman the Leafs get Smith, a winger with moxy and try if nothing else, pound for pound as good as anything in the league but still not big enough for the heavy going with the Leafs. Sophomore Phil Maloney, a centre, looked spasmodically last year like a world-beater. and at other times just ordinary. He&rsquo;s a tenacious hockey player and its always been Smythe&rsquo;s forte that you can&rsquo;t have enough strength down the centre in any hockey club. Maloney will make a good reserve and he&rsquo;ll help the faltering Hornets too if he won&rsquo;t make good material for more trades. &#9632;

Fern Flaman Key Man For Toronto In Deal

BOSTON&mdash;Eddie Kryzanowski of the Bruins has the enviable distinction of having scored a goal on his first shot in the National league.Kryzanowski&rsquo;s first chance came in a game with Chicago here in 1948, when he picked up a loose puck in mid-ice. He fired from the Chicago line and the puck glanced in off Goalie Jim Henry&rsquo;s leg.Playing in 57 games for the Bruins last season, Eddie was fourth-high goal-getter among National league defensemen with six. He was topped by Red Kelly of Detroit, Bill Gadsby of Chicago and Bill Quackenbush of the Bruins. &#9632;

The Old College Try

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div>Eddie Tries To Copy His Partner&rsquo;s Style; Like A Course In How To PlayBOSTON, Mass&mdash;One night at Boston Garden not very long ago the Bruins were storming an opponent&rsquo;s net, when suddenly their tactics backfired. Out of the pack burst two visiting forwards, with the puck.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-01600/2525507-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg" title="f0003-01" width="268" height="426"><figcaption class="caption-body">B. Quackenbush</figcaption></div>Just inside mid-ice a lone Boston defenseman sized up the situation quickly, and started skating backward.As the two foes spread out and roared into the Boston zone, the lone Bruin shifted slightly toward the man with the puck and increased his speed.In unison the trio converged on Goalie Jack Gelineau, and finally the puck-carrier made his move, a pass to his linemate. But the puck never reached its destination. The Bruin, who had apparently committed himself too soon, suddenly changed direction. He intercepted the pass, golfed the puck to the sideboard, and the scoring chance was gone.&ldquo;On that play,&rdquo; observed a visiting hockey writer to his press box neighbor, &ldquo;Kryzanowski looked more like Quackenbush that Quackenbush himself.&rdquo;A random observation, that, but an accurate sum-up of nearly a full year of intensive effort.<h2>A Good Example</h2>For Eddie Kryzanowski and Bill Quackenbush are nearing their first anniversary as a defense pair for the Bruins and ever since the middle of last season that has been Kryzanowski&rsquo;s goal&mdash;to play like Quackenbush.What Quackenbush does on the ice, Kryzanowski watches, then copies. What he doesn&rsquo;t understand, he asks about, then practices. He doesn&rsquo;t think he could follow a better example.Of the experience of playing with Quackenbush, Kryzanowski says, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s like taking a course in how to play defense.&ldquo;I know I&rsquo;m a long way from being able to do the things Bill does as smoothly as he does,&rdquo; said Eddie, &ldquo;but I&rsquo;m trying to learn all the time.&ldquo;When I don&rsquo;t understand something, I don&rsquo;t hesitate to ask him, and he&rsquo;s always willing to explain. We&rsquo;ve spent a lot of time together on the ice, in pre-season practice and during our workouts since then. He shows me how to do new things and corrects things I&rsquo;ve been doing wrong.&rdquo;Those extra sessions have made a closely coordinated team of the blond Quackenbush, a second-year Bruin who was an all-star at Detroit, and the dark-visaged Kryzanowski, two years out of college.Their questlon-and-answer periods, Kryzanowski doing the questioning and Quackenbush supplying the answers, started last winter after an Injury to another Bruin.Defenseman Jack Crawford was hurt, and Kryzanowski, on option to Hershey, was called back to replace him. Crawford&rsquo;s bad luck was Eddie&rsquo;s good luck, for he stepped In with Quackenbush and he hasn&rsquo;t been out of the lineup since. While Quackenbush has been Kryzanowski&rsquo;s chief tutor during his brief professional career, he isn&rsquo;t the only player from whom the husky University of Toronto alumnus has borrowed ideas. He has also adopted offensive weapons of Slambo Sambo Bettio, a Bruins&rsquo; farmhand at Hershey, and Pat Egan, defenseman of the New York Rangers.From Bettio, Kryzanowski picked up a dangerous slap shot, and from ex-Bruin Egan he acquired a clever feint.&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t know what a slap shot was until I went to Hershey two years ago,&rdquo; Eddie admitted.&ldquo;There I saw Bettio using it, figured it was something for me to have, and went to work copying it.&rdquo;&ldquo;The feint is one I have seen Egan use for and against us, faking a shot, then driving around his opponent and into better position. It&rsquo;s a change of pace, the idea of not doing the same thing twice in a row.&rdquo;Kryzanowski was a far cry from the smoothie he promises to be when he first joined the Bruins in the fall of 1948, three months out of college. His principle asset was an abundance of the &ldquo;old college try,&rdquo; and beacuse of it he made an immediate hit with Boston&rsquo;s discriminating fans.In the past three years he has played for a hatful of coaches. His coach at Toronto was Ace Bailey, the ex-Toronto Maple Leaf. At Hershey he played under Don Penniston, and here he has pleyed for Dit Clapper, George Boucher, and now Lynn Patrick.Bailey put the first coating of polish on the rugged young man from Fort Francis, Ontario, when Eddie was the rushing star for the Varsity Blues.&ldquo;He used to have me doing a lot of rushing,&rdquo; said Kryzanowski,&rdquo; and I did a lot of work on making plays. I even used to play up front once in a while, so when I did play wing a couple of times for the Bruins last year and the year before, it wasn&rsquo;t a new experience.&rdquo;Kryzanowski&rsquo;s first Boston appearance was with his college team, in a game with Darmouth. He scored two goals as Toronto beat the Indians, and left Boston with the praises of Weston Adams, president of the Bruins, ringing in his ears.Then he was signed by Harold Cotton, the Bruins&rsquo; scout, who first saw him in a game against McGill, Toronto&rsquo;s major rival.&ldquo;All I have to do to remember our games with McGill,&rdquo; laughed Kryzanowski, &ldquo;is look behind me any time on the ice. Gelineau was McGill&rsquo;s goalie, and he was a tough one for me. I think the only times I ever scored on him were on lucky shots. I remember shooting from the corner once and scoring when the puck hit him on the inside of his leg and bounced in.&rdquo;&ldquo;Jack was tough on me,&rdquo; he added, &ldquo;but I didn&rsquo;t mind, because we won the cup both years I played against him.&rdquo;Kryzanowski majored in physical education at Toronto and has the muscles to prove it. A sturdy 180-pounder now, he reported lighter than that this fall for practice at Hershey, because he spent a strenuous summer.An outdoorsman, he branched out as a guide this summer, chaperoning tourists from the United States through the Lake of the Woods area of Ontario. Hours of paddling-a canoe kept him hard, made him lean. Now he is back to his best weight.Mild-mannered on the ice, Krysanowski is self-effacing to the point of being bashful off it. Only once has he lost his temper in a game i Boston.,That event took place in the first game of the season, when the Bruins and Canadiens staged their historic free-for-all. Quackenbush, just as mild-mannered, became embroiled with a warlike Canadien and was resorting to the manly art of self defense when over his shoulder shot a muscular arm.The big fist attached to it caught the Canadien on the cheekbone, and that was the end of that spat. Quackenbush turned and looked into Kryzanowski&rsquo;s grinning face.Kryzanowski is the first collegian to play defense for the Bruins since George Owen and Myles Lane of the early&rsquo;30&rsquo;s. Owen and Lane both had college football backgrounds, the former at Harvard, and the latter at Darmouth, and so has Kryzanowski.Eddie played in the backfield for the Toronto gridmen, and the experience has given him a basis for comparing his two sports. He likes hockey better.&ldquo;There are less strenuous ways of making a living than playing football,&rdquo; he declared, &ldquo;and hockey is one of them. That football is really rough!&rdquo;While Kryzanowski has made rapid progress in establishing himself with the Bruins, he hasn&rsquo;t made much headway in having his name pronounced correctly.Since last winter, when it was first mentioned frequently, the family tag has been kicked around. &ldquo;Cry-zanowski&rdquo; still has as many advocates as the correct pronounciation, &ldquo;Krlzz-anowski.&rdquo;An early solution was offered by the sharp-witted Crawford, now the coach of Hershey.&ldquo;The best thing to do,&rdquo; cracked Crawford, &ldquo;is call him Number 22. Then you can&rsquo;t go wrong.&rdquo;And that isn&rsquo;t a bad idea, since it seems that Kryzanowski, however you choose to pronounce it, is destined to wear Number 22 for a long time. &#9632;

Remember this Famous Name in Hockey…

<div class="byline">By GEORGE CARSON</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01618/2525711-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="488" height="1313"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jean-Paul Lamirande</figcaption></div>ST. LOUIS, Mo.&mdash;Two Jean Pauls mean double trouble, the Flyers hope this season, with the acquisition of Lamirande to go on the same line with Gladu. And from indications in the first 20 games, these two Frenchmen will give opponents just that.Lamirande, bought from the New York Rangers, hasn&rsquo;t the scoring record of Gladu, but his play-making ability and his defensive strength has added greatly to the power of the line centered by Sherman White.The similarity of their first two names sometimes leads to confusion by their own teammates, but they are getting over that by calling Lamirande either Jean or Lammy and Gladu, of course, is always Paul. Johnny Mitchell, new coach of the Flyers, hopes they confuse opponents with a duplication scoring.<h2>Good Record in&rsquo;49</h2>Lamirande may do just that, although his past record wouldn&rsquo;t indicate it. Gladu, of course, has been one of the top goal-getters in the American Hockey League for the past six seasons.Last season, Lamirande, although shifting back and forth from New York to New Haven and from a forward position to defense, ranked 27th in the league on 26 goals and 31 assists for 57 points in 52 games. That&rsquo;s a good record and the best he&rsquo;s over done in pro ranks. But in amateur hockey, Lamirande was a consistently high scorer and in a senior B League accounted for 27 goals and 60 points in just 15 games.One reason Lamirande may just now be coming into his own, is that he spent three years in service with the Canadian Army and lost three of the best years of his hockey career. Unlike many servicemen, Lamirande was unable to play any hockey during that time.After his return from service, Lamirande played with the Montreal Royals, a senior club, before turning pro with the Rangers in the 1946-47 season. He also played with New Haven and St. Paul that year, but in 44 games he accounted for only one goal.The following season he divided his time between the Rangers and New Haven and managed to get seven goals for New Haven in 46 games. In 1948-49, he stayed with New Haven and notched only three goals and seven assists in 30 games. He missed a good bit of the season because of injuries.Last season, Lamirande began flying and made such an impression on the Ranger top brass that he was called up three times for trial runs in the National League. Why he didn&rsquo;t stick, no one seems to know, for in the first game each time he went up, he scored goals. In the first five games he played for them he had nine points, and yet each time he went back to New Haven.With the Eagles, as they are known this season, Lamirande had fine scoring success even though he played about half the games at defense. So, it may be that Lammy has finally found himself again and is set for the best year of his career.There&rsquo;s one thing sure, Lammy is happy at being with the Flyers and doubly happy at the players who will be his linemates this season. &ldquo;Gladu,&rdquo; Lamirande said in training camp, &ldquo;should be good for 50 goals, maybe more. He might even break that record of 55 goals, This is a good line. White is a smart center and when we get to know each other better and can anticipate what the other guy&rsquo;s going to do, we&rsquo;ll get our share of goals.&rdquo;That&rsquo;s a long speech for the usually quiet Lammy, who mostly contents himself with a big smile that lights up his dark complexion. But he gets enthusiastic when talking about hockey and thinks he was really lucky to be sold to the Flyers and playing with Gladu and White.A powerful skater, Lammy is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds. On offense, he is very aggressive and likes to fight around in the corners for the puck, while on defense he does a fine job in stopping enemy attacks. Lammy is available in case Mitchell needs an extra defenseman and with the short squads this season, that&rsquo;s a valuable man to have around.Yes, this may be the year for Lamirande and it may be the year for the Jean Pauls, too. Mitchell thinks it will be and, frankly, he doesn&rsquo;t care which Jean Paul it is, just so those goals are scored. &#9632;

Exactly eighty percent of the AHL netminders have been the property of more than one club in the loop. Only Hershey&rsquo;s Gordie Henry and New Haven&rsquo;s Al Millar, a rookie, have drawn all their paychecks from a single team.Gil Mayer, Pittsburgh shotstopper, was in the Buffalo training camp a year ago when Baz Bastien, Hornets great goalie, suffered the eye injury that ended his career. Pittsburgh then purchased Mayer. While Gil never performed in a regular league game for Buffalo, he was once that club&rsquo;s property.The Gulliver of the pad and glove artists is Gordie Bell who currently is bearing the colors of the Springfield Indians.Bell made his pro debut with Buffalo in the 1942-43 season at the ripe age of 17, His first season was his best. In it Bell set a record of nine shutouts that has yet to be surpassed. Then followed two years in the Canadian Navy.Gordie next appeared in the AHL wearing th espangels of the Providence Reds. From that club he traveled to Pittsburgh, Washington, Springfield, and last season back again to Buffalo.Bell was considered the Bisons regular goal keeper when the current campaign opened only to be traded to Springfield after seven games for Phil (Red) McAtee.Bell&rsquo;s closest competitor in the uniform changing department are Connie Dion, now of Buffalo, and Emile (The Cat) Francis, who is presently turning back scoring thrust for Cincinnati. Each has been with three teams.Diminutive Connie broke Into the AHL with Indianapolis in 1944-45. The next season he started with St. Louis (although the records do not show it) but was traded to Buffalo later the same year.Francis, who only stands 5 feet, 7 Inches between the pipes, inaugurated his AHL career by playing a single game with Hershey in 1943-44. His next stint in the Podoloff circuit was a two year sojourn with New Haven.With his present club&mdash;Cincinnati&mdash;Francis hopes to realize an ambition that has evaded him all his pro career&mdash;play in a post-season playoff contest.Serving with their second team in the AHL are Harvey Bennett, Sugar Jim Henry, Ralph (Red) Almas, and Johnny Bower.Bennett, who matches Gordie Henry for being the biggest hemp guardian now active in the league, is in his fourth season with Providence, which club purchased him from Hershey.Jim Henry, on the other hand, is a recent returnee to the loop. The Detroit Red Wings, who own his contract, promoted Sugar Jim from Omaha when Indianapolis got off to a bad start this year. He previously played portions of three seasons with New Haven when the New York Rangers sent its surplus players there.Almas, who always finishes with one of the lowest goals-against averages in the AHL, has been in the nets for St. Louis for three years now. However, his time in the league began two years earlier with Indianapolis.The most unique experience belongs to Bower. Back in 1945-46 while he was second-string goalie for his current club, Cleveland, he was called upon to fill in for one game with Providence. And guess who he played against? That&rsquo;s right&mdash;Cleveland.To Jumpin&rsquo; Johnny also belongs the distinction of being the only goalie to play in the loop under two names. He originally used the name, John Kizkan, but later changed to his family name of Bower. &#9632;

Goaler Turnover In AHL High; Eighty Per Cent Two Teamers

<div class="byline">By CLEON WALFOORT (Milwaukee Journal)</div>MILWAUKEE, Wis.&mdash;Robert George (Red) Hamill had his ups and downs in 11 years in the National Hockey League, the last six of them at wing for the Chicago Black Hawks, but he has gained a new appreciation of vicissitudes on ice since taking over the Milwaukee Sea Gulls, the Black Hawks&rsquo; new farm club in the United States league.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-02556/2525815-1-eng-US/f0006-022.jpg" title="f0006-02" width="290" height="437"><figcaption class="caption-body">Red Hamill</figcaption></div>Not that life has been all dark and dismal for the 33-year old freshman coach. His Gulls skated off to a .500 start and show promise of doing better. But meanwhile, life on the ice in the beautiful new three and half million dollar municipal arena has been, as Red himself put it, &ldquo;one damn thing after another.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-03424/2525808-1-eng-US/f0006-032.jpg" title="f0006-03" width="270" height="421"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jim Conacher</figcaption></div>Hamill&rsquo;s first disappointment was the Black Hawks&rsquo; decision to keep Hugh Coflin, promising young defenseman and one of the likeliest looking youngsters to come out of Canada in some time. Coflin was sent here after Chicago&rsquo;s riddled corps of defensemen had regained some measure of its original strength. Jim Conacher, the skinny wing, also came here to play himself in condition until a shoulder injury sustained in training camp had mended. Conacher played two games, then refused to accompany the team on a western trip and was suspended by the Black Hawks. After a talk with President Bill Tobin, Conacher changed his mind and returned to the Sea Gulls.Now young Conacher has been recalled by the HawksAbout this time Hamill himself was sidelined with a torn groin muscle and lacerated toe. He was back in uniform at Tulsa Thursday (Nov. 16) night, playing at defense.Two other factors have kept the Gulls from getting the kind of start Hamill had hoped for. Ray Powell, most valuable player and leading soorer in the U.S. league with Kansas City last season, has been slow to round into form. The handsome center, who set a record of 84 assists and was credited with 111 points a year ago, had six goals and two assists to show for his first 11 games here. A flashy stick handler, Powell has shown flashes of his old form but his scoring is badly needed. Ordinarily there would be no great cause for concern over Powell&rsquo;s failure to set the pace as he is a notoriously slow starter and may need time to skate himself into condition and scoring form, but therein lies the second rub. Seldom, between games at home, has Hamill been able to get his players on the Arena ice for practice. The Sonja Henie ice show and other entertainment has restricted practice at home to three morning sessions since the start of the season. Hamill now is threatening to take his squad out on the Milwaukee river as soon as it is frozen to a safe depth.The veteran Hank Blade, shafted from center to defense; Jack Miller and Glen Smith, a pair of fast wings, and Jim Bedard, the big blue ice man, have been the most consistent performers to date. Miller leads the team in scoring with a line that appeared second string but has deveolped into Hamill&rsquo;s best.As for Marcel Pelletier, the young goalie playing his first season of professional hockey&mdash;the jury still is out. He has made some nifty plays on hard chances, and muffed some comparatively easy ones. Hamill still figures he&rsquo;ll make the grade behind a tighter defense. Meanwhile, Red is up against the proposition of either generating more scoring from his front lines or holding the opposition under better control if he Is to lead his Gulls to a first division perch.<h2>The Jury Is Still Out For Pelletier</h2><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-01689/2525801-1-eng-US/f0006-012.jpg" title="f0006-01" width="2226" height="1326"><figcaption class="caption-body">Rockie goalie Marcel Pelletier of the Milwaukee Sea Gulls stops a shot off the stick of Tulsa&rsquo;s Doc Haldorsen (15).

Playing For Hawks Was Pushover Compared To Ups And Downs Red Has With Sea Gulls

MILWAUKEE, Wis.&mdash;Capt, Ray Powell of the USHL&rsquo;s Mils waukee Sea Gulls was recently fined $50 by play-coach Red Hamill for arriving late at a practice in Tulsa.&ldquo;From now on I&rsquo;m cracking; down,&rdquo; Hamill said after announcing the penalty.Powell, who was the league&rsquo;s leading scorer the past two seasons, has been in a definite slump although he ranked fourth among Gull scorers in the squad&rsquo;s first 11 games, according to the USHL&rsquo;a official bulletin. He had been credited with, six goals and three assists for nine points. &#9632;

Hamill Cracks Down; Fines Powell $50 For Being Late

MILWAUKEE, Wis.&mdash;The Milwaukee Sea Gulls, the Chicago Black Hawks&rsquo; United States league farm club, have announced that two Sunday night home games have been changed to Saturday.&ldquo;They say Milwaukee is a Saturday night town and we want to see if the crowd is any larger ton the altered dates. It&rsquo;s just an experiment, but if there is a good noticeable difference we&rsquo;ll probably try to have as many home games changed to Saturday night as possible,&rdquo; Reg Hamilton, the Gulls&rsquo; business manager said last week.The November 26 Sunday home contest against Kansas City has been moved up 24 hours and the game originally set for Sunday, Dec. 10 with the St. Paul team will also be played a day earlier.In another change, Hamilton revealed that, the postponed game with Omaha on Nov. 19 has been rescheduled for December 13. The postponement was made when Sonja Henie&rsquo;s ice review was held over for an extra night. &#9632;

Sea Gulls Change Sunday Night Games To Saturday

<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-05244/2525946-1-eng-US/f0007-052.jpg" title="f0007-05" width="280" height="443"><figcaption class="caption-body">Max Bentley</figcaption></div>In 21 games Max Bentley of the Leafs, our Player-Of-The-Week and &lsquo;Schaefer Award&rsquo; winner has erupted for 28 points. He has scored seven goals and 21 assists with six of those points coming last week as the Leafs won four games in a row.Mr. Dipsy Doodle now leads his nearest rival Tod Sloan, by six points. His 21 assists in 21 games is amazing for at the current pace he will not only break Herbie Cain&rsquo;s record 82 points he will also break Ted Lindsay&rsquo;s 55 assists which is a league record.On Wednesday, November 1 8, playing at home against Chicago the Leafs whipped the Hawks 5-2. Bentley scored one goal and added an assist. The next night in Detroit the Wings and Leafs played the most hectic game on Detroit ice since the early &lsquo;30&rsquo;s and when the final siren sounded the Leafs straggled off the ice with a 2-1 victory. Max added an assist to his total, his third point in two games.Then on Saturday, November 25, the Canadiens paid the Leafs a visit and wish they hadn&rsquo;t. The Leafs once came out on the long end of a 4-1 count with the younger Mr. Bentley drawing an assist on his nights work.The Leafs hit the road again after their game with the Habs and the next night they found themselves in Gotham, pitted against the New York Rangers. It was a tough game but the Leafs stretched their undefeated streak to four as they whipped the Blues 3-1. Once again Bentley was the star of the show as he led his club to victory. He netted a goal and assisted on another.Max is having his best season since 1945-46 and 46-47 when he led the league in scoring both seasons. In 1946-47 he scored 29 goals and had 43 assists for 72 points in 60 games. The previous season in just 47 games he scored 31 goals and added 31 assists for 62 points.This season Max has found himself in a new position. With Joe Primeau at the helm the Leafs have developed a terrific power play, far superior to any other in the league. He now has the job of leading that play to the opposing goal. Playing on the point with Jimmy Thomson he waits for the puck to be flipped back to from Ted Kennedy at center. Tod Sloan and Sid Smith play up front and the play has now become potent and Bentley has become so successful that opposing coaches dread the thought of one of their players getting a penalty.Max almost quit hockey this season to tend his wheat farm in Western Canada. But the call of the ice was too much for the &ldquo;thin man&rdquo; and he signed for another season. It&rsquo;s a good thing far the Leafs he did and a bad thing for the Leafs&rsquo; opposition. &#9632;

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div>Todling AlongTod Sloan, young Toronto Maple Leaf sensation who was born in Vinton, Que., is now second in the scoring with 13 goals and 9 assists in 21 games.

The Leafs have 31 points, the Wings 24. Toronto has played 21 games to Detroit&rsquo;s 18.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-01642/2525915-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="298" height="431"><figcaption class="caption-body">Harry Lumley</figcaption></div>Chicago Black Hawks and Montreal Canadiens are tied for third spot with 20 points apiece, although the Hawks have played two games less than Canadiens. New York Rangers are next with 20 points and Boston Bruins bring up the rear with 19 points.The first five positions in the individual scoring parade are held down by members of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Max Bentley picked up two goals and four assists during the week to bring his scoring total up to seven goals and 21 assists for 28 points.

Al Rollins, who shares the Toronto netminding chore with Turk Broda, played in all four Leaf wins this past week. Rollins has played in seven Toronto games this season and has yet to lose a game.

PAUL, Minn.&mdash;Coaches in the United States Hockey League are grooming the best&mdash;and largest&mdash;crop of rookies in the loop&rsquo;s history.Every team in the circuit has two newcomers to the pro ranks with clubs like St. Paul, Milwaukee and Omaha showing the way with considerably more.Last season most of the best first year men in the league were front liners with Omaha&rsquo;s Marcel Pronovost&mdash;now with Detroit&mdash;the one outstanding defenseman. There is better balance in the rookie crop this campaign with defensemen and front liners about evenly divided. In addition the league had two rookie goal tenders.While it is still too early to stamp any of the rookies as the &lsquo;most outstanding&rsquo; it isn&rsquo;t too early to predict that more of the current crop may make the National league next season than made it this. In addition to Pronovost, Lorne Ferguson and Frank King of last year&rsquo;s USHL rookie crop made the bigtime. (King has since gone to the American League but the other two &lsquo;rooks&rsquo; are hanging on.)<h2>Chrystal The Best</h2>On the basis of play through Nov. 20, Denver&rsquo;s Bob Chrystal is the best of the young defensive crop; Don Smith of St. Paul leads the front liners and another hustling young Saint&mdash;Lorne Worsley&mdash;is the most polished of the two &lsquo;new&rsquo; goal guardians.The Saints have the largest number of newcomers to the pro ranks&mdash;eight. Three of the group are blue liners, four play up front and one is a goalie. The defensemen are Bob Dawson, Ray Hamilton and Ken Barlow. &ldquo;Baby&rsquo; of the group is Dawson at 19. In addition to Smith the front line group included Odie Lowe, Val DeLory and Ron Plumb. Young Worsley rounds out the rookie group in the nets.Three of Omaha&rsquo;s five &lsquo;rooks&rsquo; are defensemen. The trio includes Pat Coburn, Lloyd Hinchberger and &lsquo;Red Eye&rsquo; Hay. Glen Skov and Dutch Reibel are the starry young front liners. They may even out strip the Wilson brothers&mdash;Larry and John&mdash;who were last year&rsquo;s stars by the time this season is over.<h2>Gulls Yet To Go</h2>Milwaukee&rsquo;s rookies haven&rsquo;t hit their real stride yet but once they do the rest of the first year men will have to look to their laurels. Blue liners in Milwaukee&rsquo;s young set include Hugh Coflin and Bill Schvetz. John Michaluk, Glen Smith and Jack Shave are the front liners. Marcel Pelletier is the first year goalie.The Kansas City Royals have young Gord Byers on defense and a front liner Sandy Air as candidates for the loop&rsquo;s &rsquo;rookie of the year&rsquo; award. Denver has a young front liner&mdash;Joe Kaiser&mdash;along with Chrystal. The Tulsa ice Oilers&rsquo; rookie candidates are front liner Obie O&rsquo;Brien and defenseman Bill Davidson. Of the two O&rsquo;Brien is the most promising. &#9632;

Biggest Group Of Rookies Ever Being Polished By U.S. League

<div class="byline">By TED RANDOLPH</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03490/2526022-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="484" height="963"><figcaption class="caption-body">A Hat TrickIke Hildebrand</figcaption></div>ST. PAUL, Minn.&mdash;If it is true that the team winning the close ones win championships then the standings in the United States hockey league are due for a big shuffling.Of the nine USHL games decided by a single goal, the fifth place St. Paul Saints have won three. They have also lost the same number of the one-goalers. Only teams showing an advantage in the close ones are Kansas City and Milwaukee. The Sea Gulls who rest in the cellar, are batting .500 with two one goal victories and the same number of losses. Kansas City shows a victory in its only one goal game.The Omaha Knights, in second place as of Nov. 19, have two one point losses and Denver has won two and lost the same number.<h2>10 HAT TRICKS</h2>Through games of Nov. 19, 10 &ldquo;hat tricks&rsquo;&rsquo; were on the books. The past week three players&mdash;St. Paul&rsquo;s Ian Mackintosh, Ike Hildebrande of Kansas City and Tulsa&lsquo;s Len Haldorsen registered three goals in a game.Favorite ice for the sharpshooters is Kansas City. In nine games on the Royals&rsquo; ice, opposing teams have piled up 43 goals. The Royals in that number of tussles have notched 39, the best scoring record any home team has enjoyed. On the other end of the line the Tulsa ice Oilers have shown the best defense at home allowing only 17 goals in seven home starts. The St. Paul Saints are in between with 23 goals for and the same number against at home.The Tulsa and St. Paul hockey teams&mdash;about 712 train miles apart&mdash;are playing a flock of home-and-home weekends this season. The teams play in Tulsa Saturday night and return to St. Paul for a game Sunday. Despite the fact that they leave the Oil City immediately after Saturday&rsquo;s game they rarely arrive in St. Paul more than an hour and a half before game time on Sunday. That is about the longest overnight hop any teams have to make with a game on each end.<h2>News Briefs</h2>Eddie Bruneteau, brother of coach Mud, is making his presence felt with the Omaha Knights again this season. The wily veteran proved invaluable in bringing the Wilson brothers&mdash;Larry and John&mdash;through last campaign with flying colors. Now he has two other young firebrands&mdash;Glen Skov and Dutch Reibel. The Bruneteau-Skov-Reibel line is already one of the most feared threesomes in the league. Denver&rsquo;s Gorg Agar-Billy Warwick-Billy Richardson line finally broke the scoring drout with a four-goal blast against Kansas City, Nov. 19.Wilf Field, Kansas City&rsquo;s playing coach who suffered a broken hand early in the campaign, had to return to the lineup early&mdash;Nov. 18&mdash;to bolster his shorthanded Royals. Wilf&rsquo;s hand was in far from playing shape but he figured his presence was necessary and decided to give it the old college try.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-01658/2526015-1-eng-US/f0009-012.jpg" title="f0009-01" width="1165" height="1839"><figcaption class="caption-body">In Tragic AccidentDUTCH EVERS &hellip;&hellip;He gave his all</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Saints Like To Cop Close Ones With Extra Goal

NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C.&mdash;Sports fans in the West were stunned at the news of the death of &ldquo;The Flying Dutchman,&rsquo;&rsquo; Merlin (Dutch) Evers, popular winger with New Westminster Royals.Evers died at Vancouver General Hospital, 32 days after suffering a fractured skull and severe brain injuries in an auto crash near Raymond, Wash.The crash occurred October 17, when the car driver, defenseman Bobby Bergeron, was blinded by the lights of an oncoming vehicle as the Royals were returning from a game at Portland. Bergeron, forward Clayton Lavell and trainer Ernie Proctor received lesser injuries.Failing to regain consciousness at the hospital at Raymond, Evers was moved to the Tacoma General Hospital where an operation was performed to remove a blood clot and relieve pressure on the brain.Although he was still in critical condition, doctors said he had passed the worst stage and he was moved to Vancouver General Hospital.<h2>Had Not Spoken</h2>He regained consciousness last week but failed to recognize anyone. He had not spoken a word since the accident.The balding, bustling player&rsquo;s age was always a matter of conjecture. The official Hockey Guide says he was born April 11, 1919, at Good-water, Saskatchewan. Evers often winked at this date and once admitted that he played senior hockey at the age of 16 in 1931, at Weyburn, Saskatchewan.Relatives disclosed that he was in his 36th year.He played at Turner Valley and Drumheller in the old Western Canada League and camp to the coast in 1941 where he played with Victoria Bapcos and V.M.D. before being sent to Halifax by the Navy.After the close of hostilities, Evers played with San Diego Skyhawks and Seattle Ironmen in the Pacific Coast Hockey League, turning pro with the Ironmen when the P.C.H.L. took on professional status in 1948.Evers was traded to Royals midway through the 1948-49 season and sparked the New Westminster club to its second successive Northern Division title and first P.C.H.L. championship last year. New Westminster fans recognized his flaming spirit and staged the first &lsquo;&rsquo;night&rdquo; ever held for a hockey player in the Royal City, showering his with more than $1,000 worth of gifts.He announced his retirement late last season but was persuaded to turn out for one more season.One of the speediest and most durable players in the P.C.H.L. despite his years, Evers was held in high regard by officials, players and fans alike.<h2>Officials Pay Tribute</h2>Coach Babe Pratt of Royals rated him &ldquo;one of the greatest competitors I&rsquo;ve ever seen in hockey and I&rsquo;ve seen them all from the National League down.&rdquo;Kenny McKenzie, co-owner of the Royals said,, &ldquo;In more than 30 years of hockey I have never seen a player with the heart and fight of Evers.&rdquo;President Doug Grimston of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association commented, &ldquo;Evers was my ideal of a hockey player. He gave his all, always.&rdquo;Al Leader, president of the P.C.H.L., ordered a one-minute silence to be observed in all league games until the funeral&mdash;in honor of the &ldquo;most colorful player in our league.&rdquo;Evers is survived by his wife, two sons, two sisters and an uncle. Funeral services were held from Queen&rsquo;s Avenue United Church followed by cremation at Ocean View Cemetery. &#9632;

And the traveling teams are finding the going tough.On one recent swing through Alberta, Saskatoon Quakers played four nights in succession, the first at home. They won that home contest okay but then dropped three straight&mdash;all by one-goal margins. Had the club been fresher the story might have been different.Of course, it&rsquo;s the same for all clubs. They all have their rough trips so none is favored over the other. And it isn&rsquo;t so good for the fans either. At one stage in the schedule Edmonton Flyers play against Calgary Stampeders no less than eight times in a row without meeting any other sextet.Defensemen Larry Zeidel and Bill Heindl, probably the two best known seniors across the country because of the wide publicity they have made quite a name for themselves in the young season. The two are just as rugged as their reputations and they are a tower of strength for Riley Mullen&rsquo;s Saskatoon Quakers.With slim crowds turning out to see them perform, Coach Ken Doraty shuffled his Regina Caps.

Never Say DieAlthough the Pittsburgh Hornets were losing to Springfield 2-1 with less than a minute to play on November 15, their will to win, symbolic of all AHL clubs, earned them a victory. Pete Backor tied the score at 19:18 of the third period, and at 19:47 Andy Barbe registered the winner.Confident CoachA few days before his team&rsquo;s impending game with Springfield, coach Frank Beisler of New Haven told Indian owner Eddie Shore that the Eagles would win by two goals.

Erwin Groves (Murph) Chamberlain moved out of Charlottetown to pilot the Vancouver Canucks of the Pacific Coast League for a salary estimated at $7,500 and some say merely a stepping stone to a big league managerial job next winter.Leo Lamoureux, former Canadiens defenseman, replaced Chamberlain at Charlottetown. He took over the league leaders and took up where Murph left off.Dave (Sweeney) Schriner quit as coach of North Sydney Victorias of the Cape Breton League, was unemployed for two days and then signed as coach of Halifax Saint Mary&rsquo;s of the Big Four. This will give erstwhile coach Marty Barry the time to devote all his attention to the fast growing junior organization that is being built with the Intention of stocking the senior team in years to come and to winning the Memorial Cup. A great deal of time, attention and money has been poured into this project and Marty will have his hands full.<h2>Several Rejected</h2>It was no secret that the Santamarians have been seeking a senior coach for some time. Several acceptable coaches were forced to reject the position at the last moment. When Schriner announced his retirement at North Sydney, the Halifax management immediately went into action. Sweeney looked over the Halifax team in a losing game against the Islanders before deciding to take the assignment.He thinks St. Mary&rsquo;s have the makings of a powerful aggregation but thinks there Is a lot of work to do. He took charge immediately.Otherwise there haven&rsquo;t been many changes. The powerful Sydney Millionaires continue to turn the Cape Breton League race into a rout. There are rumors that both North Sydney and Glace Bay will fail to last the limit. Crowds have been down and interest Is by no means as high as It was a year ago.Although the other clubs have been getting tougher, the Islanders still lead the Big Four by a comfortable margin. At the time of writing the Charlottetown entry had lost only five games, three to the third place Saint John Beavers. The Beavers in turn had been having their troubles with Moncton Hawks and the Santamarians had humbled the Beavers donsistently. In turn the Hawks haven&rsquo;t had too much success against the Halifax club.Still the Hawks have improved noticeably and it looks as if coach Gordie Drillon will weather the storm. The Hawks got off to a very bad start but of late have taken their share of victories. They&rsquo;ll improve as they go along.The Beavers have shown surprising changes of form. They have been tough on the Islanders but not so tough with the other clubs.Short Stuff&mdash;George Mallinson, who refereed in the National Hockey League 25 years ago, served in the Cape Breton League last winter and started the 1950-51 season in the Big Four, has retired. George found it is a bit tough at his age keeping control in a league that has suddenly turned tough. Casey Bradshaw of Toronto has dome on to replace Mallinson. The league now uses the NHL refereeing and local men watching the lines &hellip; President J. Elliott Hudson has been handing out a few suspensions. Kevin Conway and Peanuts McLaughlin were tagged for three games for picking up successive match misconducts in two games and CyThomas was sidelined for one game for giving Referee Mallinson the shoulder &hellip; The mild weather has been tough on lce-makers In these parts but every game has been played on schedule. One game was halted after two minutes of play on account of fog, but the others have gone on to a decision &hellip; There have been only two overtime games, both on Halifax ice, in the Big Four. And only one tie. &#9632;

Wholesome Skipping Of Maritime Mentors

<div class="byline">Ace Foley</div>HALIFAX, N.S.&mdash;The Maritime Senior (Big Four) Hockey League remains in the sports spotlight. On the heels of the hiring of Dave (Sweeney) Schriner as coach of Halifax Saint Mary&rsquo;s after he had resigned as leader of the North Sydney Victorias, came the following events:Bill Gulliver, linesman, died following a heart attack in the first period of a game between Halifax and Saint John at the latter city. He was about 40 and a former hockey star in Saint John and nearby Fredericton. The game was stopped at that point and will be replayed later.Gordon Drillon has been given his release as coach of the Moncton Hawks. Former star player George Bell took temporary charge of the team and in their first game under new leadership the Hawks defeated the Islanders at Charlottetown 4-2. &#9632;

Weird Turn Of Events Spotlights Moritimes

<div class="byline">JACK HORRIGAN</div>BUFFALO, N.Y.&mdash;If LeRoy (Goldy) Goldsworthy was a braggart, he would have plenty of reason to pat himself on the back the night of Nov. 7.At the time, he was the only coach In hockey with two clubs&mdash;one pro and one amateur&mdash;pacing their respective leagues.Goldsworthy, regular coach of the Buffalo Biaons pace-setters in the Eastern Division of the American Hockey League, served as fill-in coach of the St. Catharines Teepees of the Ontario Hockey Association, a junior amateur loop, that evening.Rudy Pilous, St. Catharines bossman, had been handed a ten-game suspension until Dec. 3 for taking his team off the ice in a game with Windsor.The Goldsworthy-led Teepees, however, showed their absent coach his teachings had been absorbed by dumping Guelph, the previous league leader, 4-0.And as Goldsworthy rode back to Buffalo he was coach of two first place clubs. &#9632;

LeRoy Runs Two Clubs, Both Winners

Rookies GaloreThere are no less than twenty-five rookies in the USHL this season, most of whom played their amateur hockey in Canada last year. Pat Coburn, Omaha defenseman, is an exception, however. He played hockey the last two seasons In England.Playing CoachClint Smith, former star with the New York Rangers of the National Hockey league, has been added to the roster of the St. Paul Saints. He is under contract now ns a playing coach.<h2>HOW THE RACE GOES</h2>STANDINGS ON TUE.

Amateur Parade At Quick Glance

<div class="byline">By BUNNY MORGANSON</div>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Despite the football hysteria that becomes part of the Grey Cup final scene, hockey has managed to crash the headlines for a fair share of public attention.A few examples.&mdash;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01631/2526384-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg" title="f0014-01" width="538" height="873"><figcaption class="caption-body">Pepper ManJOHN UBRIACO</figcaption></div>Coach Jimmy Skinner of Windsor Spitfires socks an usher in the Barrie Arena during the excitement of Barrie Flyers walloping the Windsor crew and gets himself arrested.Manager Mason and Secretary Somerville of Guelph Biltmores engaged in a verbal how-de-dow with executive members of the Ontario Hockey Association.St. Michael&rsquo;s upset Marlboros 6-5 in a rugged OHA Major Series of home and home four point games.The bombastic Herbert Parker of Stratford takes over the presidency of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association for its 17th. season of operation and the delegates in annual convention decide to allow body-checking in centreice for juvenile and midget games, but retain the restriction of centre-ice body checking for the younger bantam series.With Don Lockhart back in his sensational goaltending form of last season, Marlboro juniors c.imb from fifth to second place in the OHA junior A race.&mdash;The affair Skinner was the second in the short, but hectic hockey coaching career of the Detroit Red Wings&rsquo; teen-age mentor in charge of production at their Windsor junior hockey factory. Three years ago, Skinner socked an interfering fan at Galt to run into an OHA suspension. This past week Jimmy was moaning but loud, and in no uncertain terms, as his spitfires were getting the business in the Barrie Arena. An usher nearby, who happened to be a sergeant major from neighboring Camp Borden earning a bit of off hours&rsquo; dough, took exception to Skinner&rsquo;s verbal outbreak and tapped him on the shoulder and in terms befitting a sergeant-major asked Skinner to &ldquo;SHUT UP.&rdquo;Skinner, who is like a 1924 Ford running wild down hill without any brakes when his Windsor Spitfires are playing, wheeled around and let the interfering usher, or sergeant major have one on the jaw.<h2>Came The Law</h2>That started a wild rhubarb with fans, players and officials getting into it. Barrie&rsquo;s finest stepped in and &ldquo;jugged&rdquo; Skinner and the sergeant major laid assault charge. Coach Happy Emms of Barrie Flyers, no bed of roses himself when it comes, to benchyapping under stress, dug up the necessary $500 to bail Skinner out and allow him to proceed Windsor bound with his players.The civil end of the Skinner incident in Barrie is still pending, but the OHA slapped an immediate suspension on the Windsor coach and ordered him to appear at their next executive meeting to &ldquo;show cause&rdquo; why the suspension should not be continued.Guelph Biltmores, who appear to be battling the OHA Executive with more zeal than their opposition this season were on the carpet again. The purpose was to settle Gait&rsquo;s protest of a game lost to Guelph, in which Willie Marshall, ordered returned by Guelph to St. Michael&rsquo;s, played for Guelph and scored one goal and an assist.The argument centered around the word &ldquo;report&rdquo;. Guelph showed a letter from George Panter, OHA business manager, stating that Willie Marshall would be eligible to play for them as soon as Ken Laufman reported to St. Michael&rsquo;s in the famous deal that went sour as reported last week.&ldquo;I brought Laufman personally to Toronto&rdquo;. Manager Roy Mason of Guelph told the OHA sub committee, he reported.&rdquo; Wasn&rsquo;t that mittee, he reported. &lsquo;&lsquo;Wasn&rsquo;t that fulfilling our part of the bargain?George Dudley, CAHA secretary manager and OHA treasurer, insisted that the Guelph club should have known better. He had always understood &ldquo;report&rdquo; to mean &ldquo;report to play hockey&rdquo;. He also said that Mason knew that even if he was pretending otherwise.Before the OHA tossed out Guelph&rsquo;s &ldquo;Marshallized&rdquo; win over Galt and ordered the game replayed at a later date, Mason and other Guelph, officials washed out a lot of dirty linen with the OHA.Panter demanded a retraction of Guelph charges that he was &ldquo;in collusion&rdquo; with Maple Leaf&rdquo; Gardens. Guelph&rsquo;s delegation was surprised to learn that all of Laufman&rsquo;s letter of appeal to the OHA had been read at a previous meeting, when they were informed by at least three OHA members that all of it was not read.But Roy Mason wasn&rsquo;t finished. He charged that he actually saw Staff Smythe &ldquo;looking through personal mail on Panter&rsquo;s desk as though it were routine&rdquo;.George Dudley demanded that Guelph prove their charges or withdraw them. &ldquo;Charges of this nature, without foundation, aren&rsquo;t doing tie OHA any good. Why 80 per cent of the people in Ontario think we&rsquo;re poor individuals&rdquo;.Mason shot hack with, &ldquo;Sure they do, I think so myself&rdquo;. Mickey McMullen, also with the Guelph delegation clarified that by saying that Guelph&rsquo;s beef wasn&rsquo;t so much against the OHA as against Panter. Secretary Somerville, later ordered to reappear at a future meeting to explain the &ldquo;in collusion&rdquo; charges, blasted with &ldquo;the OHA wouldn&rsquo;t have nearly as much trouble if it employed an efficient secretary&rdquo;.Despite the committee-room huddle the OHA junior A group continues on it s merry competitive way with Marshall back at St. Michaels and Laufman scoring goals and winning new friends for Guelph Biltmores.Goalie Don Lockhart returned to active duty after suffering a pre-season knee injury. St. Catharines, Galt and Stratford, were locked in a third place tie, with Windsor, still unable to gain much ground on the road although they&rsquo;re all super-men at home, Oshawa and Guelph in a fourth place jam, six points off the pace. St. Michael&rsquo;s and Waterloo are so far out of it they&rsquo;ed have trouble qualifying in a B league with six and one point, respectively.<h2>Merry Dog Fight</h2>Determined to grab off their share of fan attention the OHA Series four clubs suddenly gained strength in their effort to tie things up tighter than a Scotsman&rsquo;s pocket-book. Playing four point games when they meet at Maple Leaf Gardens, Marlboros and St. Michael&rsquo;s gave the largest Saturday afternoon crowd a rousing display.The Irish&rsquo;s pepper line of playing-coach Johnny O&rsquo;Flaherty, Gordon Hannigan and Johnny Ubriaco blasted enough goals to clinch a 6-5 decision as Marlies sweated out Several penalties, deserved and otherwise. The win boosted St. Michael&rsquo;s to a three point margin over the second place Hamilton sextet. Kitchener holds fourth place, one slim point below last year&rsquo;s Allan Cup champs&mdash;Toronto Marlboros.Hamilton Tigers gained new life with the return of the veteran Art Childs to hold the goaltending fort until Bruce Dale recovers from a serious skate cut. In his first start Childs presented Hamilton with a 5-4 win over Kitchener. He repeated the performance with a scoreless draw in overtime against the Dutchman in their home Waterloo Arena.So the OHA Major Series has developed into a four-team dograce, far from being the two club affair many expected a few weeks &#9632;

Some are from big cities, others are from small towns but they all have one tiling in common&hellip; they are hockey&rsquo;s greatest boosters.To hockey fans in the Maritimes the name Gallivan is as familiar as Hewitt is to Torontonians and to them he is every bit as good.Danny Gallivan is the Nova Scotian born radio announcer who has really made good in his own back yard. Last season alone he &lsquo;aired&rsquo; 74 games besides announcing boxing and other sports. He has become as popular in his native province as the sea food it is famous for.Gallivan was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia on April 11, 1917. He attended school there and later entered Saint Francis Xavier University in Antigonish. In 1943, after receiving his B.A., he joined the staff of C.J.F.X. in Antigonish. He has been broadcasting play by play ever since.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-02381/2526610-1-eng-US/f0016-022.jpg" title="f0016-02" width="266" height="415"><figcaption class="caption-body">Danny Gallivan</figcaption></div>In 1946 he joined tire staff of C.J.C.H. in Halifax, taking over from Ron Morrier who went to C.J.A.D. in Montreal. But between the year in which he started in radio and the time he joined his present station he did a hitch overseas. He spent two years as an auxiliary officer in the Knights of Columbus.Two events stand out in genial Danny&rsquo;s mind. The first was his chance to. broadcast a game from Imperial Oil gondola in Montreal when Halifax Marys Juniors played the Montreal Nationales in Memorial Cup semi-finals in the spring of 1948.The second event which stands out in his mind a game which he broadcasted in 1944 between the Pictou Royals and Cornwallis Navy team. On the Navy club were such stars as Bob Goldham, Gaye Stewart, Joe and Gordie Bell and many others. The part of the game which really takes Danny back to those days was Ab Conick&rsquo;s two goals, both on penalty shots and both on Gordie Bell.During the season Danny also broadcasts baseball and other major sporting events throughout the year. Each week he does a Maritime sports soundup for the C.B.C. and is now the Maritime sportscaster on the Canadian sports roundup which is heard every Saturday night over the Dominion network from 8.30 to 9.00 EST. &#9632;

Four ex-Hawks are now serving as coaches in the United States Hockey League.&ldquo;Red&rdquo; Hamill is at Milwaukee, Bud Poile at Tulsa, Clint Smith at St. Paul and Wilf Field at Kansas City. Poile, Hamill and Field are all listed as playing coaches, but the latter two are currently sidelined by injuries.As mentor of the new Milwaukee team, Hamill is actually still in the Chicago organization since the Sea Gulls are the Black Hawks&rsquo; USHL affiliate. William Tobin, the teams&rsquo; prexy, considers Hamill one of the best teachers in the business.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f00c4-03155/2526717-1-eng-US/f00c4-032.jpg" title="f00C4-03" width="282" height="437"><figcaption class="caption-body">Red Hamill</figcaption></div>Hamill was in the NHL for 13 campaigns and did most of his playing at left wing although he&rsquo;s now dropped himself back to defense with the Gulls. During his nine seasons as a Hawk, &ldquo;Red&rdquo; became the top puck lifter in the league, but this defensive play didn&rsquo;t mean he wasn&rsquo;t a scorer. To the contrary, he scored 20 goals or more in four of his seasons at Chicago.Like Hamill, Poile is in his first year as a coach. Tulsa is a farm team of the NHL&rsquo;s Boston Bruins with whom Poile wound up his NHL career last season. He is always recalled as the player who saw action with five of the major loop&rsquo;s current six squads, failing to appear with only the Montreal Canadiens.Bud was with the Chicago club for only about a season, but it was his best NHL year. He netted 25 goals and 29 assists playing with the famous &ldquo;Fort Line&rdquo; which also included Gus Bodnar and Gaye Stewart.Smith, who is now in his third year as coach of the Saints, holds the record for the most points scored in pro hockey, 695. This figure includes 308 goals and 387 assists scored in 15 years of regular season play.He played in the NHL for 11 of these seasons and won the Lady Byng trophy twice, the latter time as a Black Hawk in 1943-44. He wore the Chicago uniform four seasons and during three of these tallied 23 goals or more. In the first season with the Hawks he led the league in assists with 49 and scored four goals and eight assists in Chicago&rsquo;s nine Stanley Cup tilts.Field is the only one of the foursome who never was actually Chicago property, but he did perform as a member of the Windy City crew for most of the 1944-45 campaign. He was loaned to the Hawks by Montreal to help bolster a staggering Chicago defense.Before becoming a member of the Hab organization, Wilf played with the old New York and Brooklyn Amerks. He succeeds Reg Hamilton, as well as seven members of the old Mohawk team, went to Milwaukee when Tobin moved his franchise closer to Chicago at the close of last season.So, it seems like former Black Hawks are doing all right for themselves in the third ranking pro league. Perhaps someday players will be signing with Chicago just to further possible future coaching careers.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f00c4-04119/2526710-1-eng-US/f00c4-042.jpg" title="f00C4-04" width="1683" height="2253"><figcaption class="caption-body">Old Stuff For This LadWhen Chicago&rsquo;s Roy Conacher scored his 200th goal of his N.H.L. career he was presented with a silver encased puck by Thomas Cavanaugh, a veteran hockey fan.
