Sid Smith Sets His Sights On 30 Goals
TORONTO, Ont.— It was in Detroit where the annual All-Star classic was being played and the pickups had just vacated the ice vanquished by the powerful Stanley Cup Wings 7-1. Sid Smith, the Leaf left winger an also ran on the All-Stars, had scored their one and only goal at 18.27 seconds of the third period so that it shouldn’t be a total disgrace. He sat in the dressing room removing the pads. Somebody congratulated him. ”Egad,” said Smitty, with the Colonna like touch he reserves for his gag bag.”I was about to tie it up when Lynn Patrick took me off.”’ It was one of Smitty’s typical sharp retorts which qualify him for the title of the NHL’s most chucklesome funnyman but if it hadn’t been so impossible it might have been believable because…
Gates Creaking In Man. Juniors Lopsided Loop
WINNIPEG, Man.— Brandon Wheat Kings and Winnipeg Monarchs continue to dominate the four-team Manitoba Junior Hockey league race to the detriment of the gate receipts. Attendance has fallen away alarmingly as the Wheaties and Regals continue to hammer Canadiens and Black Hawks around with abandon. A Brandon-Monarch clash assures a full house but games with the other two clubs lack interest on the part of the fans. Black Hawks have lost 12 straight, a record for local junior hockey. The Brandon-Monarch game of Nov. 29 was one of the roughest in local history. Seventy-five minutes in penalties were handed out including seven majors in the third period and one misconduct stretch. Sixty-five minutes of penalties came in the third period alone as the teams went berserk. Winnipeg has a senior team at long last.…
Passing the Puck
BOSTON BRUINS have won five of their last seven games. We have yet to see the Bruins lose a game this season. We’ve watched them play four times… twice in Montreal, once in New York and last week in Boston… and each time they’ve skated off the ice as winners… The Bruins new defense combination of Bill and Max Quackenbush is the first brother defense duo to play in the N.H.L. since Neil and Mac Colville played on the blueline for the New York Rangers. The Colvilles started the 1946-4 7 season as a defense team for the Rangers but didn’t finish the year… Last brother act on the Boston Bruins was the Jacksons, Harvey and Art. The Jacksons played three seasons together with Boston, 1941-42, 1942-43 and 1943-44… The…
Dumart Thumbs Nose At Father Time, Teams Up With Schmidy, Goes Better Than Ever Before
BOSTON, Mass.— The most pleasant surprise of a season in which all the surprises for the Bruins have not been pleasant may be the renaissance of the oldest skater in the National League. For Woodrow Wilson Dumart has been playing left wing for the Bruins in a manner not only unexpected but also unscheduled. Dumart will be 34 years old this month, yielding seniority only to Walter “Turk” Broda, the ageless Toronto goal-tender. He can call everyone else in the league “Junior” without fear of contradiction. Yet in his 12th season with the Bruins—he lost three during the war—Dumart has been playing a fine left wing, and not just from memory. The biggest of the earstwhile Kitchener Kids started the season as a handyman, scheduled for the penalty-killing detail. Yet two months later he is a…
