Ez’s Return Gives Bears Rough Team
BOSTON, Mass.— The Boston Bruins are beginning to shape up as a “Wrecking Crew” now that“Bad” 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.

Hall Gets Heat Treatment For Vancouver Club
EDMONt 7, Alta.— Could be that antitrust legislation should be brought t o bear in the case of the Dorohoy brothers. Last season Eddie, playing for Victoria, won the league scoring title. Comes the 1951-52 season, and the points aren’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’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.
