Holl of Fame Three of hockey’s all-time greats and members of Hockey’s Hall of Fame, were officially honored before the Toronto-Canadien game. ‘Newsy’ Lalonde, Mike Grant and Loe Malone, all outstanding stars of another era, were tendered a dinner in the Queen’s Hotel. Points Finger Coach Joe Primeau of Toronto put the finger on Fleming Mackell and Harry Watson and said they were on the freeze for five of the goals scored against Leafs last week-end.
