The puck can be seen in the net, once again offering convincing proof that Sid can put &rsquo;em where they ain&rsquo;t I He&rsquo;s Best In The League At Tipping &rsquo;Em in.</figcaption></div><h2>Toronto Winger Has Uncanny Combination Of Reflexes, Plus What He Calls Lots Of Luck</h2>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;It was on a train diner somewhere between Montreal and Toronto and Sidney James Smith, Leaf left winger was just attacking the first course of a breakfast when Maurice &ldquo;Rocket&rdquo; Richard of the Canadiens strolled down the aisle and wordlessly passed him by.&ldquo;You and the Rocket seem to get along fine together,&rdquo; said a gcribe who had watched the silent exchange of pleasantries.&ldquo;Fine, nothing,&rdquo; said Smitty, &ldquo;did you see him put his thumb In my corn flakes?&rdquo;Such drolleries are an essential part of the tireless Smitty&rsquo;s makeup. He&rsquo;s a quip-a-minute character who has shown a remarkable faculty for scoring goals with sometimes the same machinegun-like precision, a talent which after three seasons of an up and down existence between the Leafs and the Pittsburgh Hornet tarmsters has planted him firmly not only in a well-paid professional hockey position but as a regular fixture near the top of the NHL scoring statistics.&ldquo;An exceptional opportunist&rdquo; are the words which Leaf coach Joe Primeau uses to describe the Toronto-home-grown product, one of two natives currently on the Leaf roster and every goalkeeper in the League would be bound to nod in acquiescence. For Smitty&rsquo;s forte is not an ability to make plays like Ted Kennedy, to deke a defenseman out of his skates like the &ldquo;Rocket&rdquo; but rather an almost uncanny combination of reflexes plus, he admits, an unreasonable amount Of luck.<h2>There Is Skill And Hardships In Job</h2>Smitty is probably the League&rsquo;s foremost tip-in artist, an employment which is not without the clutch, crosscheck, clip and general mayhem which is bound to accompany the presence of an enemy in front of the opposition&rsquo;s net. Smitty passes off his ability to survive these stormy seas with a terse:&ldquo;You just have to keep moving around.&rdquo;It is while he is engaged in this moving around that Smith displays his most remarkable facet, an ability to not only see a puck coming in his direction at anywhere upwards of 60 miles per hour, but to intercept it with his stick or any portion of his anatomy which happens to be handy so that a goalkeeper who has been moving on one side of the net, finds himself trying to throw everything, usually unsuccessfully, at the other side to stop the deflection.It&rsquo;s a pastime not without its dangers because not only are the displeasures of the offended defensemen vent upon him but there is also a good chance that he will someday stop a puck with his face, for Smitty will admit that some of the shots that come boiling in, escape his ken altogether.&ldquo;There&rsquo;s a lot of luck attached to it,&rdquo; he&rsquo;ll tell you modestly. &ldquo;So far though, I&rsquo;ve never been hit on the head.&rdquo;Smith considers his bothersome activity in front of a goalie has as much to do with a Leaf goal as if he had himself tipped it in.&ldquo;Even if you never get a piece of it,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;there&rsquo;s always a good chance that you will screen a shot coming in at him. Some players seem to think that standing at the side of the net gives them a chance to pop a goal in. I can&rsquo;t see that. When you&rsquo;re in front though, anything is liable to happen.&rdquo;<h2>While Moving In Front Of Cage He Displays Ability To See Puck Coming And To Intercept</h2>Smitty&rsquo;s early education in the art started with the Stafford, club in the OHA senior league in 1945-46, when he was just out of his junior days with DeLaSalle College, a junior outfit for which, curiously enough, he used to play defense. He admits to being a strictly defensive hockey player in those days &ldquo;because I couldn&rsquo;t do anything else.&rdquo;He&rsquo;d been on the Leaf list when with DeLaSalle, something he didn&rsquo;t know until last season and for some reason, probably to make way for a more promising prospect, removed from it. There followed a tryout in Hershey cut short by the death of his father.Wanting to be close to home, he joined the Staffords and under the capable direction of playing coach Don Willson he began to catch on as a goal-scorer.&ldquo;Don used to work with me after the practices,&rdquo; he says &ldquo;and when I moved to the Quebec Aces the following year I started to connect a bit.&rdquo;It was while he was with the Aces that the Leafs again became interested In him partly because of the glowing reports of scouts, the late Squib Walker and Jo-Jo Grabowski. So Smitty was signed to a pro contract by Johnny Mitchell one night when the Acemen were playing in New York.<h2>Injuries Gave Him Big League Chance</h2>Ordinarily that might have been the end of his troubles. Unfortunately it wasn&rsquo;t. An inauspicious debut in Montreal when, on the strength of what the Leaf management had seen him do In checking Howie Meeker into the ice in a playoff game against Stratford while he was playing for Staffords, they put him on the ice with Richard. Then followed a not-too-distinguished 14 game string with the club in which he scored two goals and had one assist. He was playing mostly, with Syl Apps and Bill Ezinicki and his venture into the bigtime was only prompted by the fact that the Leafs had been hit so hard by injuries.The following season was split between Pittsburgh and Toronto. With the Hornets he played 30 games and scored 23 goals, with the Leafs 31 and seven.&ldquo;Tougher in this league,&rdquo; they said about him, &ldquo;he might go good in the minors but he&rsquo;ll never do up here.&rdquo;Smith, in fact, had become so adept at putting goals in the net, that he lost all his early talent for backchecking and keeping them out at the other end.The following season, 1948-49, he wowed the minors with an amazing 55 goals in 68 games to win the Carl Liscombe trophy and establish a record that hasn&rsquo;t been touched. He couldn&rsquo;t be ignored and after the Hornets were pushed out of the playoffs, the Leafs&rsquo; head, office called on him, among others, for playoff help in their bid to win their second straight Stanley Cup. Smitty electrified them by scoring five goals in six games as the Leafs took Boston out in five games and went on to clobber Detroit four straight.That planted him in solidly. He combined with Ted Kennedy and Flem Mackell the following season to score 22 goals and last year, with Kennedy against and with the addition of Tod Sloan on the other wing he hit his ambition of 30 goals; a total which was greatly padded by the role he took in the then-potent Leaf power play.And Sidney&rsquo;s value, since starting with the Leafs, has been steadily increasing. The backchecking ability which he lost when he started to languish in front of the nets has returned.&ldquo;He&rsquo;s starting to make his own little plays,&rdquo; says Hap Day who, until he relinquished the coaching reins to Joe Primeau was instrumental in Smith&rsquo;s come-uppance. &ldquo;He used to roam all over the ice and now he&rsquo;s sticking with that wing. And he&rsquo;s learned how the carry the puck in and get around a defenseman.&rdquo;Smitty, unwittingly, attested to his own ability to stick with a check one night in Toronto with a typical Smithicism. The Canadiens were there and there was some doubt before the game that Richard would start due to painful boil in an embarrassing position. Richard, did however, play and Smith drew the chore of checking him. The Rocket went pointless, and after it was over Smith remarked casually:&ldquo;You know, I didn&rsquo;t believe it at first, but he has got a boil.&rdquo; &#9632;

Sarnia Makes Fast Debut In New Loop

<div class="byline">By DANA MOZLEY</div>(New York Daily News)NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;The Rangers have begun an encouraging season in discouraging manner &mdash; but not without excuse. Not only can they blame several instances of injury and illness but, in one case at least, they were hurt because one player was in too fine a condition.When they departed on their second four-game road trip &mdash; this time because the Horse Show was in town &mdash; the Broadway Blues were finally getting squared away. For the first time, coach Neil Colville had a fairly healthy lineup. Only Paul Ronty had to be left home in a weakened condition caused by the flu.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03144/1329165-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="288" height="450"><figcaption class="caption-body">Chuck Rayner</figcaption></div>One of Colville&rsquo;s main problems had already been erased, possibly by a few bottles of beer. Big Ed Slowinski, right winger on Don Raleigh&rsquo;s line, was supposed to be in the best shape of his career. When the season opened, he looked slim and fast &mdash; at 189 pounds. He usually carries 200.However, no matter how he looked physically, Slowinski looked awfully bad on the ice. He was slow, pepless and a constant liability to his line. After several frustrating experiences, Colville finally remarked, half in jest: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to have to order him to soak up some beer. Apparently he needs that weight.&rdquo;<h2>Blues Have Excuses For Very Late Start</h2>Whether Colville passed the order on to Slowinski and whether Big Ed followed it isn&rsquo;t known. But it is a matter of record that the player went into the next game &mdash; the last one at home against Montreal &mdash; several pounds heavier. And, for the first time, he appeared at his best, crashing self. He was one of the stars in the Rangers&rsquo; 2-1 victory.The other problems weren&rsquo;t as easy to settle, although most are now in the past. Here are some of the Blues&rsquo; excuses for a late start:(1) Defenseman Allan Stanley sprained his right wrist in training and wasn&rsquo;t active until the fourth, game.(2) Defenseman Jack Evans pulled several muscles in his left shoulder during the exhibition season. Not until the sixth game was he no longer shy of bodily contact.(3) Left winger Gaye Stewart limped for three games with a pulled thigh muscle.(4) Goalie Chuck Rayner has been handicapped by an annual attack of hay fever, caused by the odors remaining in the Garden from the rodeo. When the Rangers returned home again, Rayner expects a reoccurrence due to the Horse Show.(5) Ronty, who hurt his back on the first day of training, has been of little use to the club. He was just beginning to work into shape when struck by the flu.(6) Jimmy Conacher, bought from the Black Hawks for the $7,500 waiver price, reported to New York in poor playing condition. &ldquo;It&rsquo;ll take me a couple of weeks to get into shape,&rdquo; he admitted. &ldquo;I had very little work in Chicago and didn&rsquo;t even dress for the last game out there.&rdquo;Conacner was pleased with the trade. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure I can help the Rangers,&rdquo; he said upon arrival. &ldquo;They play my kind of game &hellip; short passing.&rdquo;It wasn&rsquo;t definite just where Colville would fit the slender, 30-year-old Scotsman. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re still experimenting,&rdquo; he pointed out. &ldquo;Conacher can either play center ice or left wing. If Ronty doesn&rsquo;t improve &mdash; and I haven&rsquo;t given up on him yet &mdash; then Jimmy could center the third line. Or he could play wing on any of the lines. For the time being, we ll carry him as the spare forward.&rdquo;Slowinski&rsquo;s overnight improvement Wasn&rsquo;t the only happy feature of the Rangers&rsquo; short stay at home. Others, like rookies Wally Hergesheimer and Steve Kraftcheck, and ex-Wing Gaye Stewart, had brought some smiles to Colville&rsquo;s weather-beaten face, too.Hergesheimer was purchased from Cleveland last Spring for only one reason &mdash; he was supposed to be a scorer. In the 2-1 getaway triumph over the Canucks the little winger scored his first NHL goal. It was a thing of beauty, made on the fly from an almost impossible right angle. Goalie Gerry McNeil thought he had the nets fully covered, but the puck carried past his right shoulder into an open space of about six inches.Kraftcheck, who still makes an occasional mistake, is making less of them each game. Against Montreal, he played sound defense. As for Stewart, he has surprised observers with an increased aptitude on defense. The one-way player is, at long last, learning how to backcheck.However, the raves must be saved for another of the new Rangers. On his performance to date, Hy Buller may be one of the club&rsquo;s best defensemen since Art Coulter. He does everything so well, and so instinctively. It&rsquo;s a wonder he&rsquo;s been held in the minors since 1944. If Hergesheimer doesn&rsquo;t pan out, Buller, alone, should make the deal with Cleveland a good one.And why should the Rangers complain of anything at this point, anyway? They won two games by Oct. 28. A year ago, they didn&rsquo;t win their second one until Nov. 22.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-04117/1329158-1-eng-US/f0002-042.jpg" title="f0002-04" width="571" height="900"><figcaption class="caption-body">Too FineED.

Slowinski Gets Orders To Put On Weight AfterPepless Shows

Showing, about as much sympathy for Juzda as he would for the Thing from Another World, Richard explained: &ldquo;If Juzda had minded his own business then nothing would have happened to him. Flaman and 1 were fighting, it had nothing to do with him. It&rsquo;ll teach him to mind his own business from now on.&rdquo;Richard&rsquo;s k.o. of Juzda has become a controversal issue in some places. Was he looking or did the &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo; deliver a sneak punch? &lsquo;What ever it was Richard did not intend it as anything more than a punch. He threw it and showed no signs of wishing he hadn&rsquo;t. Whether it eafne from under the counter or not it was lethal enough tq do the damage he intended. According to Richard he threw the punch that did the damage, not because he thought it should be done when he, Juzda wasn&rsquo;t looking but because at that moment Juzda had it coming to him.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-0233/1330876-1-eng-US/f0001-022.jpg" title="f0001-02" width="586" height="571"><figcaption class="caption-body">Right CrossMAURICE RICHARD</figcaption></div><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-01216/1330869-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="1042" height="1078"><figcaption class="caption-body">Play By Play Pictures Of Richard-Juzda BoutDown &hellip;</figcaption></div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02189/1330862-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="915" height="1078"><figcaption class="caption-body">&hellip; Up &hellip;</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-03142/1330855-1-eng-US/f0007-032.jpg" title="f0007-03" width="886" height="1072"><figcaption class="caption-body">&hellip;Down&hellip;</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-04116/1330848-1-eng-US/f0007-042.jpg" title="f0007-04" width="826" height="1038"><figcaption class="caption-body">From Start To Punchy EndingHalt Up &hellip;</figcaption></div><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-0583/1330841-1-eng-US/f0007-052.jpg" title="f0007-05" width="1038" height="1023"><figcaption class="caption-body">&hellip; Where Is He ? &hellip;</figcaption></div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-0659/1330834-1-eng-US/f0007-062.jpg" title="f0007-06" width="940" height="1020"><figcaption class="caption-body">&hellip; I&rsquo;m Going</figcaption></div>&ldquo;Juzda and Flaman are the two worst hecklers in the League,&rdquo; said Butch Bouchard after the fight. &ldquo;They seen to get a kick out of making players mad. They should concentrate on playing hockey, they&rsquo;d be a lot better off right now.&ldquo;I told Juzda in the penalty box to mind hi3 own business after this and. he wouldn&rsquo;t get into trouble.&rdquo;Bouchard contradicted those who indicated Richard&rsquo;s punch was thrown while the Leafs&rsquo; rearguard wasn&rsquo;t looking. &ldquo;If he wasn&rsquo;t looking then how did he get hit in the eye,&rdquo; said Butch. &ldquo;I was standing beside him all the time and I could see him looking at &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo; as if he expected the punch to come. He just forgot to duck.&rdquo;Bouchard also showed signs of an injury. &ldquo;He nearly bit my finger off,&rdquo; laughed Butch, showing a bloody index finger engraved with Juzda&rsquo;s teeth marks. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to ask President Campbell if he will order that guy to wear a muzzle next time.&rdquo;Just how the fight, that nearly broke into a riot started is_ not clear. Linseman Maurice Walsh believes &lsquo;it all started when Richard carried the puck into the Toronto zorie and Juzda hooked him and held on. &ldquo;I knew something was going to happen then,&rdquo; said Walsh, &ldquo;only I was hoping it wouldn&rsquo;t&rdquo;There are different views on how it started, though. Right Winger Floyd Curry says it started when Richard carried into the Toronto zone and Flaman, backing up, waived the end of his stick in his face all the way in. The play was called and Richard, skating to the bench passed Flaman and dug him in the face with his right elbow. He kept on going and Flaman followed. In front of the Habs bench the pair tangled. Flaman wrestled Richard to the ice and then it was broken up.Referee Bill Chadwick waived both players to the penalty box with five minute penalties eacn. Richard got into the box and came out.He ahd Juzda then had words and mixed it.&ldquo;Flaman jumped on Richard&rsquo;s back when he and Juzda started to go the first time,&rdquo; said Defenseman Bud MacPherson. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s when I jumped in and pulled Flaman off. Butch tried to break up Juzda and Richard and nearly got his finger bitten off.&rdquo;Chadwick then sent both players to their respective dressing rooms with five minute major penalties each and match misconducts. Flaman was escorted across the ice by Linseman Sam Badcock. Then Richard and Juzda got close together again and the next thing &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo; wielded his right, a punch that travel&rsquo;ed about a foot and a half and Juzda hit the ice, face first with his arms crossed under him. He lay in that position for about 35 seconds. It is not known what Juzda said to get Richard mad.It was then that Chadwick handed Richard the penalty that baffled even the greatest of hockey experts. He issued another five minute major penalty to the Hab winger.&ldquo;How could he give Richard another major penalty when he was already out of the game?&rdquo; said Coach Dick Irvin.That stumped everyone.It took Juzda a few seconds to get to his feet after regaining his senses. He picked up his gloves and stick and went after Richard with it. The later, sensing disaster hastily retreated to the dressing room. No more blows were struck. Juzda went to the clinic for repairs and Richard and Flaman were seen no more. Bouchard was given a major and so was Juzda. Richard got two majors and a match misconduct and Flaman got one major and a match misconduct. The misconducts cost each player $25.00. Neither Will have to report to President Clarence Campbell on the incident as was the case of Ezinnicki and Lindsay last season. Those two players were is sued match penalties and were suspended until Campbell reviewed their case.Campbell, who was present at the game, made no statement on the affair. He reported that as long as the players fought with their fists and. not the&rsquo;lr sticks tlien the whole motter would bn treated as set down in the ruin book.From Bill Juzda came tha quote: &ldquo;That guy has never hit another player when he was looking yet, but gees, how he can punch.&rdquo;And so Juzda became Richard&rsquo;s third knockout victim. The other two were Bob Dill who, playing for the Rangers, felt the thud of Rocket&rsquo;s k.o. punch twice in one night some years ago. Last season Ted Lindsay of the Wings hit the deck from the same short right.And so all thoughts are on tha in Toronto the two teams will night of November 24. That night, clash again, but we&rsquo;re willing to bet it will be a peaceful night. About as peaceful as a jet battle. &#9632;

Ivan rudely inferred that Smythe was talking through his teeth.&ldquo;Last season we were the highest scoring team. Broke a record for goals,&rdquo; he spluttered. &ldquo;How can the man possibly think we are that kind of a club?&rdquo;The next in the chain reaction of explosions came in betroit the following Monday when, after a Leaf visit which ended in a 2-2 tie, Jawn Adams was still fuming sufficiently over the remarks of his dearest enemy, that he told a grpup of assembled newspaper-, men that Smythe had reached the depths, the utter and complete depths, with his accusation.Now the confusing and rather ridiculous part about it all wa# that Smythe didn&rsquo;t level an insult which he intended to raise all this ruckus. Had he had that in mind he undoubtedly could have produced something more conductive to raising hackles. He was merely pointing out that the Red Wings, when they get a goal advantage, show a distinct reticence to cross the other club&rsquo;s blue line and a great attachment to staying in their own end to protect their lead.Actually, Smythe doesn&rsquo;t consider this a cardinal sin. In the playoffs, for instance, he says every club plays a certain amount of kitty-bar-the-door hockey,&ldquo;In the playoffs,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;everybody backchecks like they have never backchecked before. But it&rsquo;s the club that has the most players that can score goals when they get the chance that wins out. And the reason they can break out and score goals Is that they&rsquo;ve been practicing that in all the games all season. Look what Sid Smith did for the Leafs in the playoffs last season (seven goals) and what Maurice Richard did to the Red Wings in the semi-finals with those overtime goals. Detroit has a couple of pretty good artists who can break out and score but the rest of them are working back to their own net all the time. They don&rsquo;t get the practice and when Stanley Cup time comes around, they haven&rsquo;t the players to do it.&rdquo;<h2>Marshals Arguments</h2>Smythe feels that the two games the Leafs played against the Wings in that weekend, bore out his contention better than anything else could have.He points out that the fact that the Leafs fired 26 shots at Terry Sawchuk in the last two periods trying to pull down a Red Wing lead is not the indicator. It&rsquo;s what was happening at the other end, where the Red Wings, in those same two periods, only managed 12 shots at Al Rollins.&ldquo;If this doesn&rsquo;t indicate that they were sticking in their own end then the fact that the Leafs had all those shots on Sawchuk should because you can&rsquo;t tell me that he is that good a goalkeeper that he could handle all those without letting in a couple ot goals. He&rsquo;s good, but I don&rsquo;t think he&rsquo;s that good.&rdquo;The second game of the home and away series too, says Smythe, bears out his claim. The Leafs, working from under a goal deficit, spent a good deal of the tima in the Detroit end and it was not, indeed, until the 12 minute mark that the Wings had what could, honestly be called a shot on Rollins. The traffic jam was horrible most of the time in the Wing end and finally, the Leafs had to settle for a tie on one of those weird reflections off Max Bentley&rsquo;s stick which could have wound up among the customers as easily as in Mr. Sawchuk&rsquo;s twine bungalow.&ldquo;They had exactly five shots on Rollins in that last period,&rdquo; Smythe points out. &ldquo;They went down the ice five times in 20 minutes.&rdquo;The Leafs had 12 at Sawchuk&mdash;o according to the Detroit shotkeeper.&ldquo;There is nothing wrong with, that kind of defensive hockey it you can get away with it,&rdquo; says Smythe, &ldquo;but it&rsquo;s what I call kitty-bar-the-door hockey.&rdquo;Stand by for refutation from Detroit. &#9632;

Adams Says Conn Hits A Low Low

NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;&mdash;The New York Rangers sent right winger Ed Kullman to the Cincinnati Mohawks of the American Hockey League last&rsquo; week after the stocky winger failed to do anything to merit a stay in the big league.

Rangers Farm Ed Kullman To Cincy Mohawks

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div>CHICAGO. Ill.&mdash;When Jim Peters learned in August that he&rsquo;d been dealt to Chicago with five other Detroit organization players he began to wonder if he would ever stick with a National Hockey League club long enough to really settle down. In six years he had already worn three different uniforms and now he was on his way into a fourth.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0663/1329227-1-eng-US/f0002-062.jpg" title="f0002-06" width="287" height="401"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jimmy Peter</figcaption></div>As he packed his grip before leaving his suburban Detroit home for North Bay, Ont., the Black Hawks&rsquo; training site, he asked his wife, Olive, &ldquo;Just what&rsquo;s with this travelitis, is it me, my playing or what? Why am I the constant trade bait just when we begin to feel we&rsquo;re set?&rdquo;Jim&rsquo;s attitude was understandable, but not entirely correct. His moving around so often wasn&rsquo;t due to the fact that he was a good swap material. The truth of the matter was that he was always a much-coveted item with other teams and when attractive offers were made they were often hard to resist.When Chicago and Detroit officials got around to trade talks last summer, the name of Peters was one of the first mentioned by the Black Hawks. Jack Adams didn&rsquo;t want to lose the classy right winger, whom he&rsquo;d first spotted playing on a Canadian Army team during. World War II, but the $75,000 plus Hugh Coflin offered by Bill Tobin couldn&rsquo;t be resisted.Adams later told Detroit writers that he&rsquo;d sold Peters and the others to make room for younger, up-and-coming players, but It&rsquo;s doubtful that he really wanted to weaken the Red Wings to that extent. Atthis writing, two of the up-and-coming youngsters had already been returned to the minors.Jim Peters has never been an offensive star, but his work thus far with the Black Hawks has prompted Bill Tobin to remark, &ldquo;He&rsquo;ll definitely hit at least 20 goals with us this season. A big favorite with the fans, he&rsquo;s digging constantly and working hard out there. We won&rsquo;t regret this deal with the Wings.&rdquo;The peppy forward, who originally hails from Verdun, Que., has proved his net-denting ability as the second-ranking member of the Hawks&rsquo; topscoring line. Jim, in his first games this season, had notched two goals and two assists. His second counter, a beautifully executed tally, gave the Hawks a 1 to 1 tie with Toronto&rsquo;s Stanley Cup holders October 21. Center George Gee swept in on the right of Goaler Al Rollins and then passed across the goal mouth to Bep Guidolin, who, in turn, dropped the puck back to Peters, who beat Rollins cleanly from difficult point-blank range.Jim considers his spot with Guidolin and Gee a good break and this&rsquo;ll give him the best chance to get his first NHL 20-goal season, he feels. He&rsquo;s still relatively new to Chicago, but if he gets to like the city as much as it goes for him, he&rsquo;ll become a definite permanent fixture for all his remaining pro hockey years. &#9632;

Attractive Offers For Peters Makes Him Good Trade Bait

<div class="byline">By DINK CARROLL</div>(Sports Editor Montreal Gaiette)MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Don&rsquo;t look now, but isn&rsquo;t that Dick Irvin shaking up his Canadiens already? Not a major shake up, to be sure, but sufficient to change their complexion.The Habitants lost three games in a row last week and the coach didn&rsquo;t like it. They played well in at least two of the games they lost, but that is no compensation for the coach. He said as much after the hurrying Detroit Wings had squeezed out a 3-2 win over them last Saturday night.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01173/1329127-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="268" height="426"><figcaption class="caption-body">Dickie Moore</figcaption></div>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m tired of hearing people say you played a good game when the other team picked up the two points,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;That isn&rsquo;t good enough.&rdquo;Dick doesn&rsquo;t wait for you to ask him what&rsquo;s wrong with the team; he has his own ideas.&ldquo;We&rsquo;re making too many mistakes behind our own net,&rdquo;he says. &ldquo;In fact, we&rsquo;re not having any luck at either end of the rink.&rdquo;The mistakes they have been making in their own end zone are due to a lack of alertness Or anticipation plus faulty clearing, but they result in goals being scored against them. Frank Selke, the club&rsquo;s general manager, is surprised at the number of such lapses in the games to date.&ldquo;We played well defensively in the first few games,&rdquo; he pointed out. &ldquo;I thought that was our strength and that if we had anything to worry about it was a lack of scoring power. But it&rsquo;s our defensive mistakes that have been beating us lately.&rdquo;It&rsquo;s obvious now that the reason Butch Bouchard was left behind on the last road trip with instructions to shed a few pounds was an effort to wake up the defence. Butch didn&rsquo;t like it, figuring there always has to be a goat in such manoeuvres and that he was being made the goat in this one. Whatever the psychology it didn&rsquo;t work out, because Canadiens have lost three of the four games they have played since then.As for the mistakes they have been making in the other end of the rink, they have been doing everything but put the puck in the net. They hit the post, miss open nets or lay the rubber right on the goaler&rsquo;s pads. They usually have more of the play than their opponents, yet they lose games.Bert Olmstead has been a disappointment on the Punch Line thus far and has failed to play back to the form he displayed last season. He was so far off last Saturday night that Irvin benched him in the last period and moved Ross Lowe, a fast-moving defenseman, up onto Olmstead&rsquo;s wing. Presumably it was only a temporary change.It&rsquo;s sad to have to report that Elmer Lach is only a shadow of his former brilliant self, though even in his best years he was a slow starter. He never hit his fastest pace until close to the turn of the year. But the much-injured veteran is slower now than we have ever seen him and he may have nothing left in reserve.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02157/1329120-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="571" height="579"><figcaption class="caption-body">Slowed UpELMER LACH</figcaption></div>If Elmer hasn&rsquo;t got it any more, they will have to find somebody who can keep up with Maurice (The Rocket) Richard. It may be Kenny (Big Moe) Mosdell, who has been skating fast ever since the season started. Dick Irvin has been toying with the notion of putting the Rocket and Big Moe together, though we don&rsquo;t suppose he will do it unless the situation worsens considerably. Elmer and The Rocket have written such a bright chapter in the history of Canadiens that it&rsquo;s hard to think of one without the other.The kid line with Paul Masnick pivoting Boom Boom Geoffrion and Paul fleger has shown plenty of glddy-ap, but they just don&rsquo;t score goals. They will keep the puck in the other team&rsquo;s defence zone, but they haven&rsquo;t the spark to finish off scoring plays.It&rsquo;s apparent by now that Canadiens have a pretty good hockey player in Boom Boom Geoffrion, maybe an incipient star. He can drill that puck as hard as most of them and his shots are usually on the net. He is also a better-than-average stickhandler and while he is a jerky skater he is also decei ive; it must be that he gets 01 the ice with considerable spe because you don&rsquo;t see the bat checkers bothering him too muchWhat is missing from the is a good play-making centre a this is no rap at young Paul Mi nick. He is a hustling and am tious youngster, who is always the puck and does more than share of the checking. But can&rsquo;t set up plays. If he could the puck until Boom Boom into scoring position and then a pass on his stick, the line wot start to pay off. But he is no Cowley as yet.&ldquo;I might bring Dickie up and try him In that Dick Irvin pondered. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll take good look at Moore tomorrow a see how he&rsquo;s going.&rdquo;At the start of the season Ciadiens announced that they wot retain all the players on th roster, though they wouldn&rsquo;t able to dress them for eve game. Three of them would to sit out. But they changed th minds on Saturday by sendi Calum MacKay and Gerry Couti to Buffalo.&ldquo;It&rsquo;s only for two weeks,&rdquo; spokesman for the club sa &ldquo;Couture has been hurt and Kay hasn&rsquo;t been playing and tl haven&rsquo;t been getting any i They&rsquo;ll get plenty of skating Buffalo and then we&rsquo;ll bring th back.&rdquo;Things happen so fast in hockey that this could be a much diffrent club in a couple of weekly from the one that started the seon less than a month ago. &#9632;

Smith was on the ice no fewer than 86 times when the Leafs scored and on only 21 times when the opposition scored.Ted Reeve of the Toronto Telegram summed Sid Smith by the little ode that follows:Out by the spreading hockey creaseThe Village Smithy stands He hits the puck a little whack And in the net it landsAnd even Major Conn Smythe Has joined his list of fans.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-02143/1329289-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="564" height="592"><figcaption class="caption-body">Quip CharacterSID SMITH</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Passing The Puck

And everyone around the NHL knows what Tough Tony can do even when he&rsquo;s peaceful, without getting specially riled up.What were the qualifications which made Leswick the exception to the rule that the Wings would carry all home-bred players? After all, he&rsquo;s the only man who didn&rsquo;t play with Detroit or one of its farm clubs last year.The answer is easy:Durable legs and handy fists.Those are the Qualities which made Tough Tony, well-seasoned veteran of the New York Rangers so desirable. He was picked up in trade, with Gaye Stewart as the barter material.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-1138/1329407-1-eng-US/f0004-112.jpg" title="f0004-11" width="282" height="450"><figcaption class="caption-body">Glen Skov</figcaption></div>General Manager Jack Adams doesn&rsquo;t argue that the Rangers will get the best of the bargain if you consider the trade only on their respective scoring totals this season. Stewart is a fine offensive player. Leswick specializes in something else.A hardy Westerner from Humbolt, Sask., Leswick is noted as the most tireless skater in the loop. For six years he did double duty for New York. He skated his regular line, and he killed off all the penalties in which he wasn&rsquo;t involved. (which was plenty).Finding an extra penalty-killer was of top importance to the Wings this season. The rule cutting the squad from 18 to 16 men meant that no longer could a specialist be kept just for his work. One of the regular forwards has to take on the additional labor.With Marty Pavelich and Ted Lindsay, among the forwards, and Red Kelly, among the defensemen, already skilled in the art, the Wings seem set.But there&rsquo;s another reason for the acquisition of Leswick, the part which accounts for the Tough Tony name.His handy fists are just as well known as his durable legs. Being one of the smallest men in major-league hockey (5-feet-6, 155 lbs)hasn&rsquo;t kept him from being one of the fightingest.Such a snarling spirit has its drawbacks, as Indicated by his record of 112 penalty minutes last season, fourth highest in the NHL.Still, those are preferred credentials to Jack Adams, who never shies aways from that type of player. Fist fights aren&rsquo;t needed from a player, but a fighting spirit is.Tony lands in most of his trouble through his dogged checking. For years he toiled as the man who checked Rocket Richard and Gordie Howe whenever those freewheeling right wingers met the Rangers. With them he mixed in some of his most noted fights.With the inflammable Richard alone he must have had at least a dozen fights, some of them the best-recalled brawls in the recent years of hockey. Fast and smart, Tony has fared as well as any of his opponents.Leswick has encountered a new problem on offense already. After six years as a left wing, he&rsquo;s been shifted to the right side. That&rsquo;s not an entirely unfamiliar position. He&rsquo;s a right-hand shot, and he always played right wing until New York drafted him from Cleveland upon his return from the Canadian Navy in 1945.For the first couple of weeks, Leswick worked on a line with the rookie Wilson brothers, Larry and John. That combination was broken up when Larry Wilson was returned to Indianapolis in favor, of 19-year-old Alex Delvecchio, one of the brightest Detroit prospects in years.After some shifting about, Tony found himself with two new linemates. Delvecchio was placed at center, and Glen Skov was planted on left wing after being used previously as an extra forward.That new combination christened itself in happy fashion. The first game the line worked intact was the 2-2 tie here with Toronto, and it came up with the two goals. Leswick got one, his first of the season, and Skov the other.With two sharp youngsters, who can skate just as fast and well as he can, Leswick can be looking ahead to what may be his finest big-league campaign. &#9632;

Tough Tony’s Durable Qualities Main Reason Wings Pulled Switch

MONTREAL &mdash; Maurice Richard took another step towards breaking Nels Stewart&rsquo;s all-time scoring record when he blasted two goals past Detroit&rsquo;s Terry Sawchuk last Saturday night.The first goal was &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo;s&rsquo; 300th of his career and the second left him with 24 more to get to become the greatest scorer in National Hockey League history.Richard&rsquo;s 300th counter eleuded him for two games prior to hitting the mark in the first period against Detroit. He needed eight goals for 300 when the season started. Going into the Command Performance game on October 29th he still had four to get. That night he Netted two in the last period and came close to getting three. He was held scoreless in the next two games against the Leafs as the Habs were defeated 1-0 and 4-2. Then against Detroit he got his 300th. Detroit won the game 3-2.The first one came on an assist from Olmstead and Lach. He took a pass out from the corner, shifted two Detroit defensemen into the rafters and plunked the puck into the bottom left hand corner of the cage. The time of the goal was 6.00. The second came in the last period and was In the same comer of the net. It was a ten footer blasted from the right hand side into the left. &#9632;

The two rearguards were expected to be back in action for the November 4 tussle with Boston at the Chicago Stadium.Thursday&rsquo;s 2 to 2 deadlock with the Canadiens marked the first game in which the Hawks were at an offensive peak in manpower. Roy Conacher returned to uniform for the first time since the season opener at Montreal and a surprise Chicago starter was Pete Horeck.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-02170/1329500-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg" title="f0005-02" width="260" height="398"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bill Gadsby</figcaption></div><h2>Not A Trade</h2>The fiery right winger was purchased outright from Boston only a few hours before the game and skated onto the ice wearing jersey No. 11, which had been Jim Conacher&rsquo;s assigned number. Many fans immediately thought that the Scotch-born center had gone to Beantown in a straight trade, but Jim watched the game from the stands and it wasn&rsquo;t announced until Saturday that he&rsquo;d been secured by New York for the $7,500 waiver price.Horeck, who originally broke into the NHL with Chicago in 1944, made an auspicious return to Chicago fan popularity when he assisted on Billy Mosienko&rsquo;s tying goal in the final period. He outfought a Montreal rearguard for the puck to the right of Gerry McNeil and then slipped a pass to &ldquo;Mosie&rdquo; who drove the disc into the net.The game was rough throughout and a major penalty to the visitors&rsquo; Paul Meger for high-sticking Clare Martin brought about quite a verbal conflict in the third stanza. The bone of contention arose from the charge that Linesman Maurice Walsh pointed out the offense to Referee George Gravel. Walsh is one of five new NHL officials this season.Martin received only a bump as a result of the high stick, but the Hawks&rsquo; Gus Bodnar and Tom Johnson, Hab defenseman, had to retire for minor repairs in the first and last periods respectively.&ldquo;You know, in each of our wins or ties so far this year we&rsquo;ve come from behind,&rdquo; Chicago Prexy Bill Tobin pointed out after the game.Two ex-Hawks returned to haunt their former mates Sunday as Boston won 2 to 0 at the Stadium. Goaler &ldquo;Sugar Jim&rdquo; Henry, who tended the Chicago nets in 1948-49, was brilliant in notching his first shutout of the season and Winger Adam Brown, secured from the Windy City on waivers only a few weeks ago, scored the first goal for the Beantowners.The Chicago offense battered Henry relentlessly with 38 shots, but he was equal to them all and proved spectacular on several occasions. At 31, he&rsquo;s getting the chance to return to the, big time, an opportunity seldom afforded a goalie.Joe Farrell, the Black Hawks&rsquo; 74-year-old publicity director, was not present for the Boston game. Illness caused him to miss his first Chicago home game in the 26-year history of the team. Doctors ordered him to bed for a few days, stating that he&rsquo;d become run down and needed a thorough rest.The return of Bep Guidolin, who missed the Canadien game because of a cut ankle, forced rookie Fred Hucul to sit out his first game. The Hawk lines were set as follows: Guidolin-Gee-Peters, Conacher-Bentley-Mosienko and IJabando-McFadden-Bodnar. Horeck supplanted Bodnar on accasion.Al Dewsbury and Max Quackenbush worked together on the Hawk defense, as did Lee Fogolin and Clare Martin. Clare Raglan was the seldom-used fifth man. &#9632;

Gadsby, Stewart Back In Action

DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;The Detroit Red Wings pulled a surprise switch in players last week when they sent the Wilson brothers, Johnny and Larry down to Indianapolis and recalled Vic Stasiuk and Rookie Alex Delvecchio.The Wilsons were playing on a line with Tony Leswlck when the season opened and big things were predicted of them. But they failed to come through. The trio were the lowest scoring line on the Wings. In fact, only Johnny Wilson had scored a goal. When Delvecchio was called up Leswlck scored his first of the season on a pass from the youngster.Johnny Wilson scored his only goal of the season against the Canadiens when the Wings shut out the Habs 3-0. Larry had failed to dent the time In the time he was up with the Red Wings.The Wings were particularly disappointed In Johnny Wilson. Last season tn Indianapolis he showed indications becoming a top scorer. In 70 games with the Caps he scored 34 goals and added 21 assists for a total of 55 points. He was called up by the Wings In the playoffs and performed as though he was up to stay In the one game he was used.Although Larry Wilson didn&rsquo;t have the season Johnny had in Indianapolis, he nevertheless did look as though he had the necssary to carry him into the big time.Larry played in 53 games and scored 12 goals and added 23 assists for 35 points. In the 1949-50 season, the year the Wings won the Stanley Cup, both the Wilsons were brought up to play in the playoffs. They also got into one game during the season.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03130/1329538-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg" title="f0005-03" width="576" height="596"><figcaption class="caption-body">REPLACEMENTSALEX DELVECCHIO</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-04104/1329531-1-eng-US/f0005-042.jpg" title="f0005-04" width="588" height="592"><figcaption class="caption-body">VIC STASIUK</figcaption></div>In those games Johnny netted an assist in eight playoff games. In four playoff games Larry didn&rsquo;t get a point.The Wings sent Larry Wilson down to the AHL first and recalled Delvecchio. Then on Friday morning, after the Wings had been beaten by the Bruins Johnny was shipped down. Stasiuk reported to the Wings and played his first game with them against the Canadiens in Montreal last Saturday night. The Wings won 3-2.Delvecchio, who played junior for the Oshawa Generals last season played one game for the Wings against the Canadiens In the last game of the year. The Wings won 5-0 and Delvecchio and Lou Jankowski, now with Indianapolis starred.Delvecchio turned pro this season and was immediately sent to Indianapolis. He was a sensation in the AHL, netting a point a game while he was down there. He added two assists in his first NHL game this season.Standing 6&rsquo; and weighing 173 pounds Alex was born In Fort William, Ontario on December 4, 1932.Stasluk split last season In the NHL between Chicago and Detroit. He was traded to the Wings with Bert Olmstead. &#9632;

Wings Farm Out Disappointing Wilsons

CHICAGO &mdash; &ldquo;I feel better than I&rsquo;ve ever felt and I&rsquo;ve only been on skates four times,&rdquo; Pete Horeck grinned last week after his first game back with the Chicago Black Hawks. He&rsquo;d been purchased only a few hours earlier from Boston, when he played with the past two seasons.There were reports of contract troubles, ill feelings with Bruin officialdom, but all this was a part of the past for Pete. &ldquo;Chicago&rsquo;s my home, I got my start here and I know I&rsquo;ll make good again with the Hawks,&rdquo; he remarked.In a conversation after the deal, Lynn Patrick, the Boston coach, admitted that Horeck was the most-liked player with the Bruins. &ldquo;We didn&rsquo;t hold any polls or anything, but I know they cheered him most,&rdquo; Patrick said.BUD BOOTH &#9632;

Lynn Sorry, Hawks, Horeck Glad Of Deal

TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;General Manager Conn Smythe of the Toronto Maple Leafs says if players are going bad get somebody to replace them. Following his policy of shipping players to the minors who are not connecting in the N.H.L. Smythe last week pulled a two player switch by sending Danny Lewicki and Ray Timgren to Pittsburgh and recalling Bob Solinger and Rudy Migay.Lewicki, once noted as hockey&rsquo;s problem child, refused to go to Pittsburgh when notified about his demotion. Timgren left minus Dannv. who staved in Toronto. After a meeting with Smythe Lewicki was persuaded to go on condition he returned as soon as he was ready.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-0570/1329593-1-eng-US/f0005-052.jpg" title="f0005-05" width="268" height="421"><figcaption class="caption-body">Danny Lewicki</figcaption></div>The move caused some sort of surprise here as both Lewicki and Timgren looked to be going better. Timgren in particular, although he hadn&rsquo;t grown into any Richard around the nets was nevertheless thought to be playing good hockey.Lewicki reported to Leaf&rsquo;s training camp in St. Catharines, Ontario in good shape and was one of the stars in early season training, thus making Smythe predict that Danny was in for a fine season.Lewicki turned pro with the Leafs last season and in 61 games he scored 16 goals and added 18 assists for 34 points. Timgren scored only one goal in 70 games and added nine assists. He was used mostly to kill oft penalties. &#9632;

Smythe Talks Balking Lewicki Into Going To Hornets With Timgren And Calls Mtgay, Solinger For Leafs

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;The Boston Bruins are beginning to shape up as a &ldquo;Wrecking Crew&rdquo; now that&ldquo;Bad&rdquo; Bille Ezinicki has finally signed his contract for this season.With the 27-year-old resident of nearby Wakefield flnally in the fold, the Bruins can boast one of the hardest hitting teams they have iced In probably a decade.They now have personnel with the color to command at tention at the box office, as well as on the ice.When the season started Coach Lynn Patrick promised potential customers here that this year&rsquo;s team would do plenty of bumping. That was while Ezinicki was still playing golf.Boston fans seem to demand contact in their sports more than fans in other cities&mdash;Lester Patrick, for one, says so&mdash;and his son&rsquo;s team now has the I wherewithal to furnish it.Ezinicki is probably the most I celebrated exponent of contact Jin the game today, the only forward ever to lead the National League in penalties. The spiciest parts of the Bruins&rsquo; season a year ago were provided by him, first through his I Jam with Ted Lindsay in Detroit, then with his rampage against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup playoffs.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01193/1329445-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="508" height="528"><figcaption class="caption-body">WelcomedBILL EZINICKI</figcaption></div>Ezinicki joins a crew of musclemen already headed by Capt. Milt Schmidt, Gus Kyle, Ed Kryzanowski and Adam Brown, rugged characters all.Hockey&rsquo;s Mr. Hyde became hockey&rsquo;s Dr. Jekyll out of a clear sky, because throughout the training season and for the first three weeks of the regular campaign, Ezzie stuck to his golf clubs.While the Bruins were making the rounds of the League, he was making the rounds of New England golf tournaments, and he was knocking the cover off the ball.Then at the urging of Walter Brown, new president of the Bruins, Bill and General Manager Art Ross had a brief talk, climaxed by Ezinicki&rsquo;s signing of a contract. He promply departed for Hershey and a speeded-up conditioning program.Upon Ezinicki&rsquo;s departure Ross announced that the stocky right wing would be back as soon as he was ready to play. Since Ezzie is always in good condition, that period of time wasn&rsquo;t expected to be a long one.Ezinicki&rsquo;s change of mind was sudden but not unexpected.He had a good golf season as professional at nearby Colonial Country Club, but golf in this area has now been put in cold storage for the winter.Bill&rsquo;s original intention was to make the winter circuit with the &ldquo;big name&rdquo; professionals, but after taking thorough stock of that situation, he decided to put his touring ideas away for at least another year. He will return to his golf job in the spring.Ezinicki&rsquo;s signing automatically sounded the note of departure for one more of the squad of forwards which the Bruins were carrying. They were one over the player limit to start, and with Patrick using the versatile Kryzanowski as a utility man, he was working only four defensemen.That confined the cut to the forward squad, but the Bruins&rsquo; coach gave no hint of how he would solve the problem, adopting a &ldquo;sit tight&rdquo; policy until he saw tow Ezinicki responded to his stepped-up training program.This is the second time in two years that the mild-man nered. Ezinicki has started a season behind the rest of his mates. A year ago he balked at signing, with Toronto, and when he finally did sign he was shipped off to Pittsburgh as i punishment.The Bruins acquired him from Pittsburgh, in the deal tin which they were forced to give up Ferny Flaman, and Ezzie balked at coming to Boston, finally yielding to the persuasion of a friend.With the Bruins exiled from Boston Garden by Gene Autry&rsquo;s rodeo, the Ezinicki case provided the only hockey news here over a two-week span. In absentia, Patrick&rsquo;s first line of Johnny Peirson, Schmidt and Brown continued to carry the Bruins&rsquo; scoring load, indicatsing that he was still shuffling the rest of his forward crew looking for punch. &#9632;

Catherine Street West, Montreal 25, Que. Printed in CanadaVol. 5 November 10, 1951 No. 6There&rsquo;s an old saw that tells us the &ldquo;first hundred years are the hardest&rdquo; &mdash; and in the case of Maurice (The Rocket) Richard, that could be changed to read 300 goals. The 300th in particular was a tough one, as the great Montreal right winger sought that elusive triple-century mark for nearly a week, but he finally made it to become only the second man in the history of the National Hockey League to reach that dizzy scoring height.The free-wheeling, automatic-shifting Richard now is in high gear and shooting for the all-time scoring mark, curxently held by the &ldquo;ol&rsquo; poison&rdquo; man himself, Nels Stewart. The big fellow, during his dramatic career in the NHL, racked up 324 goals in fifteen seasons of play. Barring the unforeseen and the calamitous, the sizzling, colorful, always contentious Rocket should wrap that record up neatly in the current season, his tenth since he broke into bigtime pro ranks.The fiery Habitant, the most discussed and most disagreed-about player of the decade, has long ago dispelled any lingering doubts that there might have been about his greatness. Now, just to clinch the matter, he is going all out to establish himself solidly as the most prolific scoring machine the game has ever seen.The arguments will rage long and loud, as they have been doing, over the fact that Richard has played more games per season than Stewart did back in the days of shorter schedules. That&rsquo;s true enough, and is a factor which has allowed the Rocket to pile up his goal total in ten seasons instead of 15. But by the time Richard gets to the 324 of 325 mark, it&rsquo;s likely that he will have played approximately the same number of games as Stewart.The longer schedules give a player more chances to rack up goals, there&rsquo;s no doubt about it. But it doesn&rsquo;t always work out that way in these days of mark-your-man hockey where the stars are glued down by their checkers at every turn. In fact, the year that Richard set up his season record of 50 markers he did it at a goal-a-game clip in a 50-game schedule. He hasn&rsquo;t been able to surpass it since, nor has anyone else, in the seasons of 60 and 70 games which have followed.Comparisons of the type of hockey played today, against that of the Nels Stewart era, are productive of much argument without reaching a decision of any kind. You just can&rsquo;t say whether Stewart would have scored more goals if playing today, or how Richard would have fared playing against Stewart&rsquo;s opposition.The only available criterion in the long run is the total of goals scored, and on that basis Maurice Richard is well on his way to taking his place in the record books as the greatest scorer of all time.It&rsquo;s a place he&rsquo;s winning for himself by his sheer brilliance and power on the ice &mdash; a flair for greatness that&rsquo;s marred only by his frequent flareups and losses of temper. Despite his fiery temperament &mdash; or perhaps because of that and the terrific competitive urge which goes with it &mdash; Richard today is carving himself a prominent place in the annals of the game.Now that he has passed the psychological stumbling block of that elusive number 300, it should be clear sailing for him from now on in.<h2>EVERYBODY HAS A CHANCE</h2>This early stage of the National League season, with the schedule barely one-seventh used up, is still too early to make any sweeping statements about the eventual quality of competition in the loop. But early indications at least promise a more evenly contested race than some which have been offered up in recent years.On last Monday morning, after the first month of play, Detroit Red Wings had an edge on first place as a result of their high scoring and tight goaling work by Terry Sawchuk. But after you passed over that four-point gap to second place, the teams trailed back in stepladder fashion, with only one point between each squad and the one following it, all the way down to sixth place.Five teams were bunched in that four-point space, which means that the standings can be considerably scrambled and shifted within the space of a couple of games. That&rsquo;s all to the good, from the viewpoint of fan interest, and holds a promise for better attendance marks if the teams can keep up the pace. &#9632;

Both were with St. Michael&rsquo;s College Juniors last season but both of them are now over the junior age limit.I have been reading your paper since you first started publication and find it very interesting and informative. Before you started to publish THE HOCKEY NEWS about the only place you could read about hockey players and Canada&rsquo;s national game was in the American sport&rsquo;s magazines. Occasionally, if you were lucky, you found one that featured an article on a player or a team. This was not always very often. Your paper certainly fills a big void in Canada&rsquo;s sporting world.Thanking you in advance for any information you can give me on Wheldrake and Marshall.Helen Jewell.Toronto, Ont.(Believe both players you asked about are in the Maritimes.)<h2>Barilko Fan</h2>Dear Sir:I am hoping and praying that by the time this letter reaches the press that my favourite player Bill Bariko will be found safely. I listen to every news cast and sportscast I am hoping that I will hear the great news that he has been found.My favourite team is Toronto Maple Leafs. Barilko has been my favourite player since he broke into the N.H.L. I like his hard going and great body checking style. Barilko is a player that can really take care of himself and protect his teammates. He is a good playmaker and a very dangerous man around the goal. No matter who repleces him it still won&rsquo;t be like having him on defense. Bolton might be a good defenseman but he isn&rsquo;t polished or experienced to take the heavy load the way Barilko did.Will you please answer the following questions: Is Alex Barilko a hockey player? Is the search for Bill still going on?Paul Choquette.Perigord, Sask.(Alex Barilko did play hockey in the Quebec Senior League and in the Maritimes. We believe he is now playing in the Toronto Hockey League and looking after-his business. The search for Bill is still going on.)<h2>The Missing Junior</h2>Dear Sir:I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on the publication of a real fine HOCKEY NEWS.I am hoping that you will publish a story on the two Giese-brecht brothers, Bert and Bruce, in the real near future.I would also like to know the whereabouts of another ex-junior star Lou Jankowski, formerly with the Oshawa Generals and linemate of Delvecchio who in now up with Detroit.Tommy Higgins.John McCabe.Montreal, Que.(Jankowski started the season with the Indianapolis Caps of the American Hockey League but in his very first game of the season against Syracuse he suffered a fractured skull. He has now returned to action.)<h2>Pro-Richard</h2>Dear Sirs,I would like to find out what fans have against Rocket Richard. If half the players In the NHL could put that disc Into the net the way he can let them name them and that goes for Doug Bentley, Roy Conacher, Ted Kennedy and Gordie Howe.How about a story on the success of Bert Olmstead.Alfred Canter.Montreal, Que.<h2>The Kid&rsquo;s Ages</h2>Dear Sir,As a weekly reader of THE HOCKEY NEWS, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy reading your paper.I have been having an argument over the correct ages of the Kid Line of the Victoria Cougars and I would appreciate it if you could give me their birth dates and the year they were born.Ron. MacDonald.Fort William, Ont.(Bob Frampton was born tn Toronto on January 20, 1929.

Since coming into the United States Navy in 1950 I have finally gotton around to buying my first subscription. It is my only means of keeping up with the hockey world since I have come to Japan, and I just couldn&rsquo;t do without it. I think it is a wonderful paper.I&rsquo;d like to say hello to a couple of loyal Ranger fans back in New York, Frank Rich and Johnny Grosso How&rsquo;s it going follows?Maybe some of your readers would be interested in knowing that hockey is played here In Japan and is quite popular. They are now forming a league up in Yokahama for Servicemen.Thnks and good luck.L. P.

They named that guy right when he was tagged the &lsquo;Beast&rsquo;. Perhaps he won&rsquo;t be so smart with his stick anymore. He&rsquo;s the best in the League when it comes to crosschecking.How&rsquo;s that old eye feel, &lsquo;Beast&rsquo;? Otawa, Ont.

If he had of, it would have been an event of note to Toronto hockey historians. Only one other player in the modern game aver has caged 300 counters. The one plaer, as any bright young, first-grader knows, was Nels Stewart, whose lifetime record of 324 is now in jeopardy. You could argue that Richard is only the second player ever to score 299 &mdash; or 290, for that matter. So there should be a celebration every time he gets a goal if we&rsquo;re going in for &ldquo;seconds.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02193/1329765-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="297" height="457"><figcaption class="caption-body">Maurice Richard</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03144/1329758-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="271" height="433"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bob Davidson</figcaption></div>Runners-up to Stewart, until the Rocket loomed along, were the late Howie Morenz and Aurel Joliat &mdash; each with 270. But the century marks have a special significance. When a player bags his 200th goal, It&rsquo;s usual to present him with the puck. If he&rsquo;s married and has kids, it may save him the price of teething ring.There should be something like that for the Rocket, if he manages to get the old biscuit past an NHL goalie. But it never will occur to anyone to have Leaf scout Bob Davidson out to center ice on the Rocket&rsquo;s back for the presentation. That would be a nice gesture to the more faithful Gardens&rsquo; subscribers. They&rsquo;d know it was meant for them, because they&rsquo;ve complained you can&rsquo;t recognize the Rocket&mdash;even with a program&mdash;since he quit lugging Davidson.Maybe that&rsquo;s not entirely fair to rugged Robert, who beats the bushes now in search of Leaf prospects. At the Gardens recently. Bob was saying it wasn&rsquo;t true the Rocket caught rheumatism in his neck, right after Robert retired, because he didn&rsquo;t have Davidson&rsquo;s hot breath to warm him.&ldquo;I guess I used to hang on to him a lot,&rdquo; Bob agreed, In an outburst of understatement. &ldquo;But the referees were there to see what I did, and the records will show I didn&rsquo;t get a lot of penalties. Another thing: I didn&rsquo;t check the Rocket all the time. Sweeney Schriner had a hand in it.&rdquo;Davidson was checking him&mdash;or trying to check him&mdash;the night Richard scored all five goals for the Habs in Montreal, during the 1944 playoffs. But there were extenuating circumstances, as Davidson tells it.&ldquo;I kept taking him out along the boards, until a Montreal fan finally grabbed my stick,&rdquo; Davidson recalled. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s all the Rocket needed. He was in like a flash, and the goal light was on. After that, we couldn&rsquo;t stop him. He beat me for three of the goals. I&rsquo;m not sure who was the other guilty party.&rdquo;<h2>He Liked To Use Back-Hand Shot</h2>DAVIDSON DISCLAIMED any special strategy by himself and Hap Day the coach of the Leafs, for defusing the Rocket. Day&rsquo;s orders were to keep on the inside of Richard and prevent him from shooting, if possible. Those instructions are pretty much routine. Against Richard, it was easier to give them than to execute them. The Rocket developed a habit of drifting in toward centre ice, to shake his check. Any opponent who neglected him for a split second was asking for trouble. Davidson soon discovered the Rocket could shift to the inside like a frightened jackrabbit. Being a left-hand shot playing right wing, he liked to switch to the back-hand.One night, in a playoff game, Davidson saw the Rocket making his move to take a pass from Elmer Lach. Big Babe Pratt, then playing defense for the Leafs, saw it, too, and yelled for Davidson to cover Lach, because he (Pratt) personally would take care of the Rocket.Richard roared in from the blue line so fast the Babe never got his stick on him. The shot missed the net, but Richard snared his own rebound off the backboards. He let go with another blast, from point-blank range, and Davidson saw what he still figures was the most sensational save he ever lamped by a goalie. The Leal backstop at that time was Frank (Ulcers) McCool, now a Calgary sports writer.McCool managed to dive in front of the puck, and undoubtedly saved the game for the Leafs. With only seconds to go, Teeder Kennedy golfed the only counter of the contest.Richard&rsquo;s strength was another thing that made him a tough cookie for an opposing winger. Davidson saw him carry Pratt and Elwyn Morris almost the length of the ice in another game. They were still hanging on when the Rocket scored.Since he bloomed into a scoring threat in his sophomore season, the Rocket probably has lugged more free riders than the Canadian National. That&rsquo;s another thing they might have recognized when they gave him that 300 goal puck. There should be some kind of plaque for a million miles as a public carrier, without losing a passenger. &#9632;

Speaking on Sport

<div class="byline">By &#x201C;RED&#x201D; BURNETT</div>(Toronto Star)<h2>Toronto Fracas Might Have Had Serious End For Swinging Hab Ace</h2>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;It&rsquo;s fortunate for several parties that Rocket Richard&rsquo;s aim was a trifle wide of the mark at Maple Leaf Gardens Hallowe&rsquo;en night.Rocket had been on all targets, the Leafs might not have enjoyed a 1-0 triumph, a rail seat fan would have a broken noggin, which he wouldn&rsquo;t enjoy, and President Clarence Campbell of the NHL would have a nasty hockey mess.As it was, the &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo; was cleared from the League head regarding his threatened attack on a Leaf fan. Discussing the incident later, Campbell said: &ldquo;I have not heard from Referee Storey or Referee-in-Chief Carl Voss regarding Wednesday night&rsquo;s Maple Leaf hockey game. If they report that Richard threatened a fan, he certainly will hear from me. Players have no business threatening fans, regardless of cause.&rdquo; Storey apparently gave Richard a clean bill.Richard, on his way to the Canadiens bench after a futile attack on the Toronto net. took umbrage at the remarks of Wilf Malcolm, parked in a rail seat, and swung his stick at the Leaf fan.Not content with a near-miss, Richard later skated back to the fan, waved his stick over his head and then threatened to stuff it down Malcolm&rsquo;s throat.<h2>NHL Proxy Avers &lsquo;Tis Bad Business Trying Behead Freight Payer</h2>The fan claims that all he did to cause the outburst was shout: &ldquo;Ha! Ha! The Great Richard. But Richard had no right blowing his top. If he found the fan&rsquo;s remarks objectionable, he should have taken his trouble to Referee Red Storey. It&rsquo;s fans like Malcolm who pay the freight for players like Richard.After the game, Richard and three mates returned to the scene of the outburst and this time challenged the Leafs&rsquo; Dr. Jim Murray. The linesmen managed to get the Canadien players to their dressing-room.Referee-in-chief Carl Voss was parked on the west side of the rink and referee Bill Chadwick, the loop&rsquo;s top official, was in an east-side blue seat. They probably filled in any details that Referee Red Storey missed.Aside from the Richard tantrum, it was an excellent hockey show, the best of our short season. It was a hammer and tongs affair with no punches pulled. &#9632;

Fan, Rocket, Both Lucky!

TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Apparently It was a case of mistaken identity when Rocket Richard swung his stick at a rail seat customer, Wilf Malcolm, during the second period of that famous Leaf-Canadiens game at the Gardens.The Rocket thought he was taking a cut at George Braden, president of the C.C.M. company, he revealed after the game. Braden Is a rail seat customer who sits near Malcolm.In the dressing room after the game the Rocket was asked what happened to cause him to get excited.&ldquo;Oh, it was that president of C.C.M.,&rdquo; he snarled. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s been after me for years.&rdquo;When someone remarked they&rsquo;d never seen Richard take a swing at a spectator before, he admitted he&rsquo;d taken belts at others during his career.&mdash;Gordon Campbell. &#9632;

Following behind are Prince Philip and Mrs. Houde.</figcaption></div>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;The Montreal Forum put on its best bib and tucker for Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip last week and then lifted the curtain o.n a show that put all its predecessors well back into the shadows. The Command Performance game on Monday, October 29, was one some 14,000 Montrealers will never forget, Not only did the Habs whip the Rangers 6-1 and not only did Floyd Curry hit the jackpot with a Hat Trick but they got a first hand view of a beautiful Princess and handsome Prince relaxing, like two ordinary people, watching the fastest sport in the world.It would have been interesting to know just how many people actually saw the game. At any rate they would have been outnumbered by those who focused their binoculars on the Royal Couple for the full 60 minutes.The game itself was below par, as the players seemed conscious of their Royal Guests. Not until the last few minutes of play was there even signs of a fight. Then Richard and Defenseman Steve Kraftcheck threatened to have a go.The Royal Couple were met at the front of the Forum by Mr. William Northey, executive vice president of the Canadian Arena Company. Honorable Donat Raymond, president of the company became ill with a cold shortly before game time and asked Mr. Northey to do the honors in meeting the Couple. With the front of the Forum lined with policemen, the Royal Tour party drew up to St. Catherine Street entrance of the rink. The Princess was escorted into the Forum by Mr. Northey, the Prince followed with Mrs. Houde, wife of the Mayor.At exactly 8.2 8 the Royal Couple entered the Forum. They entered through the left side of the St. Catherine Street entrance where a special. fence was built into the center door. The Red Carpet was laid along the route from the door to their seats directly behind the Canadiens&rsquo; bench.The band of the Royal 22nd Regiment from Quebec City, in full dress uniforms which included scarlet jackets and busbys, played the National Anthem. The band, standing at center ice, stood between players from the two clubs. A special platform was placed at the south end of the rink and the Royal Couple were introduced to Butch Bouchard and Frank Eddolls, captains of their respective clubs. Then, amidst a roaring welcome the Royal Couple were escorted tc their box seats.The game itself was a one sided affair but both the Princess and Prince seemed to enjoy it. The Prince often laughed when play got rough and particularly enjoyed seeing Ross Lowe dump Don Raleigh into a ladies lap in the promanade.The Royal Couple went to the Directors room between the first and second periods for refreshments but remined in their seats between the second and third period itermission.Seated with the Royal Couple were Mayor Houde, Mrs. Donat Raymond, Mr. William Northey and Mrs. Houde. Also in the box were Douglas Abbott, minister of finance, and Mr. Edouard Rinfret, postmaster general.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-02214/1329851-1-eng-US/f0009-022.jpg" title="f0009-02" width="573" height="596"><figcaption class="caption-body">FLOYD CURRY</figcaption></div>Dots and dashes &hellip;Before the Royals Couple arrived Butch Bouchard got a tip from Elmer Lach &hellip; Butch, standing quite nervously once wiped the sweat from his brow.

Pepin, in two games with R.l. Reds, scored his first goal of season against Indianapolis and then got the first goal in next game against St. Louis. His youthful presence helped Veterans Jack Stoddard and Ken Davies to 16 points in two games, a hot pace for any forward line. Stoddard has 2-5-7; Davies 2-4-6; Pepin 2-1-3.</figcaption></div>PROVIDENCE, R.I.&mdash;The United States and Canada proudly boast of the friendly relations that exist between the two nations and at the moment, three happy-go-lucky young French-Canadians have taken up residence in Pawtucket and are out to illustrate tlieir friendship toward Americans.Namely, the Canucks now residing in the Woodlawn district at 941 Main St. are Bobby Perreault, Rene Pepin and Donat Deschesnes. The first two are 20 years of age and the latter has reached the voting age.Actually, they are not ordinary visitors. To the contrary, the three from the north are members of the Rhode Island Reds hockey team and from now until the end of the American Hockey League&rsquo;s season, they will be in our midst, providing coach Terry Reardon does not prescribe more seasoning in Canada for any one of the trio.<h2>Were Together In Junior</h2>To wind up playing for Providence together has provided the French lads with a big thrill. They worked together &ldquo;on the farm&rdquo; at Three Rivers under Jack Toupin before graduating to the parent club in Providence.Pepin, a winger with plenty of class, from Sherbrooke, P.Q., won&rsquo;t be 21 until December 6. He had never been to the United States until arriving recently. Rene speaks some English but like Deschesnes and Perreault, Pepin&rsquo;s tongue is swathed with an accent as thick as Canadian fromage.But there Is no cause for worry over these three &ldquo;immigrants,&rdquo; Deschesnes, who is in his second year with the Reds after a brilliant rookie season last year, reveals that &ldquo;we three always be together. Between Bobby, Rene and me, we make wan goot hinglish man&rdquo;. By that, Donat means that all three are capable of mastering some English and between them, can conquer just about every situation.For example, just the other day, the lads trekked off to the movies in downtown Pawtucket. The picture was about the immortal Jim Thorpe. Of the day at the cinema, Perreault had this to say:&ldquo;We understand enuff to get drift of pick-chur.&rdquo;Last year, Perreault was voted the most valuable player in the Quebec Junior Hockey League, and at the moment, he&rsquo;s proving valuable to his two buddies. Perreault attended St. Patrick&rsquo;s school in Three Rivers and played two seasons of football. In addition, he learned some English at St. Patrick&rsquo;s. &#9632;

Last season Eddie, playing for Victoria, won the league scoring title. Comes the 1951-52 season, and the points aren&rsquo;t coming so easy for the wise-cracking Eddie. So into the breach steps big brother Ollie Dorohoy, of the New Westminster Royals, to assume an early lead in the point derby.Bill Cook, one of hockey&rsquo;s immortals who is now coaching Saskatoon Quakers, returned to the Edmonton Gardens for the first time in 25 years as the HubCity crew made their first trip of the season to the Alberta capital. Cook hardly recognized the &lsquo;Arena&rsquo;, as it was called when he was playing with the Saskatoon Sheiks, in the old Western Canada loop. The addition of several thousand new seats, to say noth ing of a heating plant, a brand new front to the building, concession booths, etc., had the onetime right-wing great wondering where he was.The &lsquo;Cooks&rsquo; earned a split of the points by rallying for a pair of third period goals to gain a 3-3 sawoff with the Flyers.Walter (Babe) Pratt, the erstwhile &lsquo;Honest Brakeman&rsquo; is going well as a member of Murray Patrick&rsquo;s Tacoma Rockets&rsquo; defence corps.

At the time hockey&rsquo;s prize $64 question concerned itself with whether Maurice (The Rocket) Richard, Montreal Canadiens, or Ivan&rsquo;s own Gordon Howe was the game&rsquo;s greatest player.Inevitably the question was put to Ivan &hellip; &ldquo;who is the greatest player in hockey, Richard or Howe?&rdquo;The Red Wing coach was quick on the trigger:&ldquo;Red Kelly&rdquo;, he answered.When his listeners had climbed groggily up off the floor he elaborated: &ldquo;Howe and Richard are great, players &hellip; great forwards,&rdquo; he admitted. &ldquo;But that Kelly can play anywhere except in goal. Up front, or back on the blueline, it doesn&rsquo;t make any difference to him. He plays the different positions well, too.&rdquo;&ldquo;He&rsquo;s an all-round player. Mighty valuable.&rdquo;<h2>Flyers Have a Kelly</h2>And &lsquo;down on the farm&rsquo;&mdash;at Edmonton&mdash;six months later, where a future crop of Red Wing talent is being cultivated, Flyer coach Frank Currie boasts a &lsquo;Red Kelly&rsquo; of his own.Hartley McLeod, too, qualifies as one of these &ldquo;all round&rdquo; players. The Pacific Coast Hockey League schedule was barely broken out of the scotch tape when McLeod was installed as Flyers&rsquo; utility man.Rookie &lsquo;Ching&rsquo; Johnson, leftwinger on the club&rsquo;s Kid Line, was an early season casualty. Presto! Next time the team took to the ice for a scheduled contest there was McLeod, operating as a steadying influence on first year men, centre Eddie Joss and winger Eldor Thomas.Johnson got back in the game. Then it was the turn of winger Steve Raynak to come down with an injury. By now coach Currie gradually getting together a good &lsquo;book&rsquo; on his talent, knew just what to do.&lsquo;McLeod plays with Backor (Pops) and Kilburn (Colin) tonight,&rdquo; he announced at game time. Calgary Stampeders promptly became 7-2 victims, with the Backor - Kilburn - McLeod trio travelling both ways in good style.The piercing-eyed Flyer minuteman hasn&rsquo;t been called upon ye: to take over in a defense role. However, when the time comes that team-captain Doug McCaig or one of the other members of Muscles, Inc., is sidelined McLeod once more will be it.He played some defense at Omaha, in the United States league, last season. On top of this coach Currie caught him in action as a blue-line bouncer while the squad was being assembled at a Sault Ste. Marie training base, in October.&ldquo;Sure, he&rsquo;s none too big for a defenseman,&rdquo; the Edmonton boss admitted. &ldquo;But he looked pretty good back there just the same. I wouldn&rsquo;t hesitate to use him on defense.&rdquo;This 160-pound jack-of-all-hockey-trades was born in Selkirk, Man., Oct. 4, 1927. Somehow, that makes him 24 years of age.Fact that he&rsquo;s no more will come as a surprise to lots of hockey men. Nevertheless that age &mdash; 24 &mdash; is the McCoy. It just so happens that the Flyer utility man has been around a long time.Eight years ago, as a still-wet-behind-the-ears 16-year-old, McLeod said good-bye to the family diggings at Selkirk and headed for Trail. One season in the ranks of the junior Smoke Eaters and &lsquo;Fisherman&rsquo; McLeod was considered revved up enough, for the senior brand.Flin Flon Bombers were glad to take him on.He persisted in the Manitoba raining centre for three seasons, before heeding a call from the Detroit Red Wing organization. McLeod played his last season in the shamateur ranks as it so happened with Detroit Hettches, of the International circuit.By the autumn of 1948 the Selkirk boy had become a full-fledged professional, his contract being assigned to their Omaha farm by the Detroit front office.Hockey fans in Omaha &mdash; and throughout the United States circuit for that matter &mdash; came to know McLeod well.Fo&rsquo; three seasons he chased the elusive puck in the uterests of the Nebraskans. They &lsquo;loved him&rsquo; in Omaha, so much so that he might have been there yet, except that the U.S. League, staggering from a series of box-office reverses, elected to suspend operations for a year.<h2>Did Some Defense Chores With Omaha But Edmonton Haven&rsquo;t Used Him There</h2>And that&rsquo;s how Hartley Me-Leod wound up in Edmonton. No longer able to do business at the old stand, the Red Wing brass reached an agreement with the Edmonton Exhibition Association, a group that bankrolls the Flyers.And bachelor McLeod was among the players who came along to Edmonton, via Omaha and Sault Ste. Marie.Few need be reminded that McLeod&rsquo;s birthplace, Selkirk, at one time was rated one of the west&rsquo;s best hockey nurseries. Just after World War One the Selkirk banner was carried throughout the land by such stellar pucksters as &lsquo;Bullet Joe&rsquo; Simpson, &lsquo;Rube&rsquo; Brandow, Harry Oliver, &lsquo;Jocko&rsquo; and Ernie Anderson, &lsquo;Crutchy&rsquo; Morrison and many more.Today, the likes of McLeod and Paul Meger, now with Montreal Canadiens, continue to hold aloft the banner of the famous Fishermen.Quite apart from his penchant for filling in wherever needed, Hartley McLeod can brag of a number of other distinctions. For one thing lie can boast of being one of a family of nine. Not one of his brothers plays hockey.And one other thing. Don&rsquo;t challenge him to a wrist-twisting duel, or if you do, don&rsquo;t bet the family oil shares on the outcome.His off-season occupation happens to be that of filleting fish. This makes for well developed wrists. Hartley McLeod has them-but strong! &#9632;

These are the headlines after three weeks of play. The Beavers, recruited by John (Peanuts) O&rsquo;Flaherty, mostly from the Ontario Hockey Association&rsquo;s ranks, have lost only one and tied only one in eight. The others have been victories. Two of them have been by whopping scores&mdash;12-3 over Halifax and 13-2 over Moncton Hawks. Saint John&rsquo;s only loss was at the hands of John O&rsquo;Flaherty Halifax Saint Mary&rsquo;s. It was their third game in three nights and they were listless.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-02192/1330013-1-eng-US/f0012-022.jpg" title="f0012-02" width="283" height="427"><figcaption class="caption-body">John O&rsquo;Flaherty</figcaption></div>Bud Poile&rsquo;s Glace Bay Miners are keeping pace, winning six of eighth Moncton Hawks have thrown up the two obstacles, winning at Moncton and Glace Bay. Otherwise Poile&rsquo;s young and exceptionally fast team is riding high.Charlottetown Islanders, who won, their first 10 starts in the Big Four last winter, lost seven this year before they got on the Victory sheet. The Islanders, who terrorized their opponents last season and racked up a record number of penalties, had to abandon their old tactics to make the victory grade and finally won while playing their cleanest game since they were organized.<h2>Millionaires Are Deflated</h2>Sydney Millionaires, who dominated Maritime hockey for four seasons, are looking up this season from a fifth place position. The Millionaires have won only two games in eight. They have a scoreless tie with Saint John to their credit, but they can&rsquo;t explain their two. losses to Halifax, whom they have kicked around regularly in playoffs in the past few years.The league&rsquo;s most persistent holdout has come to terms. Big Hughie Campbell product of Halifax Saint Mary&rsquo;s junior ranks, with a fling at NHL hockey with Rangers and AHL hockey with New Haven, has finally signed a contract.&lsquo;The Campbell case has attracted a lot of attention. First he went to Ottawa to train with Senators. The Saints had hoped to work out a deal in that direction. Then Hughie left Senators and trained with the Santamarians in Montreal. Tendered a contract, he left the Santamarians went home to Sydney, but never played.Whether Halifax will keep Campbell or use him for trading bait remains to be seen. The city club could use his scoring power.Johnny Horeck&rsquo;s Moncton Hawks have been decidedly spotty. They have looked very good at times. At other times they showed gaping holes in the lines. Horeck, who starred with Charlottetown Islanders last year and has had a long run in fast company, thinks his club will be all right when it straightens out.Best news for Moncton came when they got Ronnie Matthew# from Sydney in a trade for forward Kennedy. The latter hasn&rsquo;t done much with Millionaires but Matthews has been a standout with Hawks. Incidentally, the deal didn&rsquo;t sit so well with Sydney fans, with whom Matthews was a big favorite.Hugh McLean, top referee in the Big Six, came down with an ankle injury in the Halifax Glace Bay game and Hugh Gillis had to finish the game along. The players are complaining of the long, tough schedule but the referees have the biggest beef. &#9632;

Beaver Peanut Man Has Saint John Six Hitting On All Six

Oue.&mdash;Will Henri Richard be able to follow in the footsteps of Canadiens famed Rocket?Well&mdash;according to the Rocket, Maurice Richard, himself, he is frankly amazed at the rapid development of this latest junior sensation, his own kid brother.Sitting in a box seat at the Forum watching young Richard play for National last week Rocket explained to THE HOCKEY NEWS that his many hockey travels and business hours had prevented him from seeing Henri play until this year.&ldquo;In the few games I have seen so far this year I am amazed. He is such a kid. Last year I would never have thought he could play Junior A hockey&mdash;this season.&rdquo;These are the first impressions of the great Rocket as he watches his young brother, already the people&rsquo;s choice of Junior Forum fans.Though just 15-years of age and with still five years eligibility left in the star studded Junior A circuit, young Henri has scored 11 goals in nine games to date. Possessor of a tremendous shift the Kid also has the same knack as the Rocket of getting away a blistering shot while off balance. Henri has many of the skating characteristics of his highly publicized big brother as well as a pair of steel like wrists, which fire deadly right-handed shots and show potentialities of developing a wicked backhand drive. The main difference between young Henri now and the Rocket when he was starting is that Henri plays center while the Rocket played left wing during his junior days.As the Rocket chatted freely about his young brother, the third in the family to show exceptional talent In the, shinny-on ice pastime, one got an idea how young Henri comes by his ability so naturally.Ever since he has been four years old, Henri has followed the hockey exploits of his big brother through senior and professional ranks, hardly missing more than two or three of Canadien home games, since the Rocket joined the squad.For the last two or three years Maurice used to bring Henri and another brother Jacques to the Forum every Sunday morning to practise skating.While agreeing that he may have helped Henri develop his shot, he claims that the kid&rsquo;s shift is just natural. &ldquo;No coaching teaches a shift like that,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;but more and more practise skating makes it more effective.&rdquo;The Rocket also admitted that the kid brother could be attempting to copy his style of play but added &ldquo;if he is, I certainly can&rsquo;t notice it tonight.&rdquo;Henri just then shifted his way beautifully by the Quebec Citadel defense and potted a neat goal to put his club back in the thick of the game and the Rocket shook his head.&ldquo;The kid is starting so fast that the fans will expect too much. He can&rsquo;t possibly keep up the pace. He is such a kid.&rdquo;Maurice went on again to explain that last year when Henri would skate with him at the Forum, he didn&rsquo;t even, think of the kid as a hockey prospect because he was so young. Even after he had a good year playing with Junior B Nationales last season, where he was the club&rsquo;s high scorer, the &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo; couldn&rsquo;t think of him as a hockey prospect.&ldquo;In fact,&rdquo; the Rocket went on, &ldquo;Butch Bouchard, president of the Nationales team and myself agreed before the start of the season that we would leave Henri in the B League for at least another year. However, Pete Morin, coach of the team insisted that we let him try with the squad and assured us he would look after him. I would not believe he could make good.&ldquo;Rollie Bleau, coach of the Nats B squad, must have taught Henri plenty and Morin is just the right man to handle him now&rdquo;, assured Richard.Slightly built for the rugged junior A action, Henri weighs only 137 pounds but his heavily boned structure assures that he has lots of growing to do yet.The uncanny manner in which he gets out of jams along the boards or in the corners are sure proof of the kid&rsquo;s general know how and are proof of the conscientious way in which he goes about his training.Morin can see nothing but stardom ahead for Henri. In fact Morin goes on to predict that the pro-Canadiens will have nothing to worry about when the &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo; retires, for young Henri will be able to fill the slot with loads of class.Henri gets a lot of kidding from his teammates but opposing players haven&rsquo;t got on him so far this season.When asked if the kid had a temper the Rocket smiled grimly and answered &ldquo;If they let him play hockey, he will be alright. If they bother him he&rsquo;ll be alright too.&rdquo;For a lad who has yet to celebrate his 16th birthday, Henri certainly has made a big start on the way to stardom in our great winter sport. Maurice chuckled at this thought and then astounded with the retort &ldquo;the kid is pretty good for one who will be having his fourth birthday next February.&rdquo;The &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo; laughed for a minute or two and explained &ldquo;the Kid was born on February 29 th leap year, and thus only has a birthday every four years.&rdquo;Henri is used to playing hockey with older fellows. Since his first three years of hockey on outdoor city rinks, he has always played in higher classes than his age merited because of his Richard name. This way the kid had to work hard to make good.He played for his school, St. Joseph de Bordeau, for several years before joining Laval of the Cremazie juvenile City League, from where he joined Nationales Bs last season.Henri is attending Ecoles St. Francois de Laval at present taking a business course and according to the Rocket &ldquo;he is going to learn to talk English.&rdquo;The Quebec Citadels whipped the Nats that night 6-3 with Henri&rsquo;s goal and assist to no avail but one gets the idea from watching him and listening to Morin that the kid is headed for the big show.There have been other families where outstanding sports ability has been shown by more than one member. A classic example is the Conachers of Ontario, where brother after brother seemed to come on with great natural athletic ability.More often however, the reverse is true.An outstanding example of this is the case of the immortal Howie Morenz and his son. After a tremendous build up for years young Howie just didn&rsquo;t have what it takes and faded from the top grade sports whirl.For a time the Richard family threatened to follow the same pattern as Jacques, the second son, could sadly testify.But now young Henri looks as though he will mark another milestone in the list of successful brother sports combines. If Henri listens to his big brother and develops just part of the &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo;s&rsquo; amazing ability, then he will be sure to star and grip the hearts of French-Canadian sports fans for years to come. &#9632;

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Floyd &lsquo;Busher&rsquo; Curry, often called the National Hockey League&rsquo;s most honest workman, is O&rsquo;Keefe&rsquo;s Player-of-the-week as chosen by THE HOCKEY NEWS.Last week was one Floyd will probably never forget. Not only did he have his best week in hockey but he scored his first N.H.L. Hat Trick, an authentic one. and he did it white Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip were watching. He also scored a fourth goal in a game against the Leafs later in the week.Curry&rsquo;s game in the Command Performance was by far the best of his career. Never noted as a great goal scorer he came through with a burst of twine denting that surprised even Curry himself as the Habs defeated the Rangers 6-1Curry&rsquo;s Hat Trick came in the second period. His first goal came at 1.54 on passes from Mosdell and Harvel. At 11.07 he got his second as Mosdell was once again the instigator of the play. Then just at the tail end of the period Mosdell broke in on the Ranger defence, threw a perfect pass to Carry who blasted it from about 30 feet out. The puck hit defenseman Steve Kraftcheck on the hip and defelected into the corner of the Rangers&rsquo; goal.His fourth goal of the week came in Montreal last Thursday os the Leafs humbled the Habs 4-2. Curry put the Habs up a goal when he shot the puck past Rollins in the first period.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-1096/1330173-1-eng-US/f0013-102.jpg" title="f0013-10" width="286" height="444"><figcaption class="caption-body">Floyd Curry</figcaption></div>Until the 1949-50 season Curry was a constant travelor between Buffalo and Montreal. He was never quite good enough around the goal to merit a stay in the big League. When Grant Warwick broke his nose and was sent to Buffalo to play himself back Into shape the Habs recalled Curry to replace him. Eager to make good this time, Curry went out and worked himself into near exhaustion trying to prove that he belonged in the NHL. He&rsquo;s been up ever since.As we said he&rsquo;s never been a big goal scorer. His best season was last year when he netted 13 goals and 14 assists for 27 points in 69 games. But the Habs wilt continue to keep him as long as he works as hard as he does. He&rsquo;s an expert penalty kilter and it looks like he may finally blossom out as a goal scorer.It couldn&rsquo;t happen to a nicer guy, as the saying goes. &#9632;

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;The Eastern Hockey League openers gave two indications. The first was that the teams would be fairly evenly matched which means good competition and crowd-pleasing hockey. The second was that the fans will turn out if given the attraction.Boston Olympics and Washington Lions inaugurated the 195152 Eastern Hockey League schedule in the Capitol city. Pics won a free-scoring, 7-5 decision from the newly-organized Lions despite only three days of practice as a unit.Pics, sparked by three Bruins&rsquo; farmhands, two Providence Reds prospects and a trio of Greater Boston college stars, served notice they will be contenders tor eastern division honors. Gordon Warner, 20-year-old Bruins prospect from Timmins, led the Boston attack with two goals and two assists. George &ldquo;Moose&rdquo; Stanutz, Barrie Flyers defenseman last year, and Ralph Void, the other two Bruins&rsquo; hopefuls, played a Bound defensive game.Jack Riley&rsquo;s Lions, bringing hockey back to Washington after a lapse of several years, need a little tightening here and there. They will have scoring power as a couple of sharpshooting wingers, Palmer and Eames, showed. Each scored two goals against the Pics.Al O&rsquo;Hearn was the big gun as the New Haven Tomahawks made their Eastern League debut in edging New York Rovers, 4-3. O&rsquo;Hearn scored three successive goals to pace the Tomahawks to a successful start in their own rink.Lloyd Ailsby&rsquo;s debut as new Rovers&rsquo; coach was spoiled by the setback but the Red Shirts are always late starters. Ailsby has 20 players from which to pick his 14 man squad and he probably will work several combinations before settling on the definite roster.Springfield Indians, replacing Eddie Shore&rsquo;s American League pro club, got away to a flying start at home: They whipped Phil adelphia, 5-2. Bob Dill who served as a player-coach, has a powerful band of Injuns&rsquo;, all farmhands for Shore&rsquo;s present Syracuse Warriors.Inexperience and lack of practice proved costly to Max Kaminsky&rsquo;s Falcons in that game. They fell behind at the start but a 10minute flash in the middle frame served notice that Philadelphia won&rsquo;t be any pushover. In that brief period they scored both their goals, passing the puck around very niftily. &#9632;
