Boston, Toronto Only Others To Make No. 1 Team
MONTREAL, Que.— Detroit Red Wings dominated the All-Star voting among the fans just as thoroughly as they dominated the National Hockey League throughout the regular season, and when the ballots were all accounted for the Red Wings had walked off with four playing positions and the coaching spot as well to virtually monopolize the First Team.

REGINA, Sask.— Lorne Popein, starry young Regina Cap left-winger, has been named the rookie of the year in the Western Canada Senior Hockey League in balloting by sports writers and broadcasters in the four league cities.
