<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div>A hockey coach&rsquo;s faith in the ability of former pupils is being justified this season in the cases of Lynn Patrick and five alumni of the New York Rangers, now working for him as Bruins.The five are Goalie Sugar Jim Henry, Defensemen Gus Kyle and Hal Laycoe, and Forwards Duncan Fisher and Pentti Lund.All five played with or under Patrick before Lynn came to the Bruins as coach a year ago this fall, either in New York or at New Haven, the Rangers&rsquo; farm club which he bossed before moving up to Eighth Avenue.As quickly as the opportunities presented themselves, Patrick acquired the five for the Bruins, starting with Fisher a year ago, finishing with Lund just before the opening of the current season.Patrick&rsquo;s program of picking up fellows from his old teams struck a familiar note here, because a similar situation developed a few years ago with the Boston Braves in Baseball.When Billy Southworth came to Boston from St. Louis as manager, he was followed by a carload of ex-Cardinals, some of them purchased for fancy prices. As a group the ex-Cards flopped badly, and the Braves were chided for years as a result.The Rangers-to-Bruins routings have been much more profitable for the team on the receiving end, in this case the Bruins, however, than were the Cardinals-to-Braves transfers of a few years back.The five ex-Rangers are all figuring prominently in the unexpectedly bright getaway which the Bruins have made this fall.Fisher, a sturdy little fellow, came here by way of St. Paul of the defunct United States League, with Patrick insisting that he belonged in the majors.Laycoe, a determined veteran, arrived via Buffalo and Montreal late last winter, with Patrick maintaining that he would help the Bruins make the playoffs.Kyle popped in directly, in a trade for Center Paul Ronty which was swung just about the time the Bruins were starting their training period in September, with Patrick declaring that he would equip the Bruins&rsquo; defense with thump.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01148/1212173-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="289" height="456"><figcaption class="caption-body">Keep Bruins In Upper StratumJim Henry</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-02130/1212166-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg" title="f0005-02" width="282" height="459"><figcaption class="caption-body">Hal Laycoe</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03102/1212159-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg" title="f0005-03" width="292" height="459"><figcaption class="caption-body">Pentti Lund</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-0480/1212152-1-eng-US/f0005-042.jpg" title="f0005-04" width="283" height="453"><figcaption class="caption-body">Dunc Fisher</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-0555/1212145-1-eng-US/f0005-052.jpg" title="f0005-05" width="289" height="453"><figcaption class="caption-body">Gus Kyle</figcaption></div>Henry came a short time later after a Cook&rsquo;s Tour through Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and Indianapolis, outposts in which, claims Patrick, he never should have been.Lund checked in just as the season opened after a &ldquo;paper&rdquo; visit to Cleveland, the American League team to which he had been assigned In a &ldquo;package&rdquo; deal on which, opined Patrick, the Rangers made a mistake &mdash; by including Lund.In contrast to Southworth&rsquo;s experience, Patrick has seen his returning flock make him look good on his insistance on hiring them. All are pulling their weight, especially Henry.Here are Patrick&rsquo;s comments on the four fellows now helping him win here as they did in New York or New Haven:Fisher: &ldquo;When he goes into the corners for the puck, he usually gets it. He is very hard to knock down, and he gives us hustle and drive when he&rsquo;s on the ice.&rdquo;Henry: &ldquo;Always a major league goalie; never should have been in the minors. When he was with the Rangers he rated on a par with Chuck Rayner.&rdquo;Kyle: &ldquo;He gives us something that the Bruins haven&rsquo;t had for a long time, a big, rough defenseman. He&rsquo;ll get better, too, as the season progresses.&rdquo;Lund: &ldquo;The victim of a bad year. He&rsquo;ll be a good wing for us as he works into better condition after a late start.&rdquo;Of Laycoe, with whom Lynn played at the close of World War II, the Bruins&rsquo; coach said: &ldquo;He&rsquo;s an experienced player with lots of hustle, and he does a good job on offense, too.&rdquo;All five New York alumni will play leading parts in Patrick&rsquo;s long-range plans for the season, which consist of keeping the Bruins in the upper stratum of the National League.If the plans pan out, and early indications are that they may, that will probably win for the Rangers the distinction of being Boston&rsquo;s most productive &ldquo;farm&rdquo; team. No other team has as many graduates on this year&rsquo;s Bruins as does the Rangers. &#9632;

Five Ranger Grads On Bruins Really Pay Off

SASKATOON &mdash; The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix said in a newspage story that in future it will not report excessively rough games in the Pacific Coast Hockey League, beyond giving the result.The story was prompted by a recent game between Saskatoon Quakers and Edmonton Flyers at the Saskatoon Arena. During the game no fewer than 24 penalties were handed out, including four majors for fighting, a 10-minute miscounduct and a match misconduct.The paper says another 24 penalties could also have been called without stretching the rules.The story continued:&ldquo;The Star-Phoenix today received numerous complaints aboul the rough-house affair at ths Arena Tuesday night. Amons those who saw the match was general agreement that &lsquo;whatever else it was it certainly was noi good hockey.&rsquo;&ldquo;This, also, was the opinion of experienced sports editors. Ii future, the Star-Phoenix will noi report games of this nature, beyond giving the result.&rdquo; &#9632;

The Wings and Bruins played to a scoreless draw.

The score ended in a 3-3 draw.The fourth tie came on the 11th of November as the Wings met the Canadiens in Detroit. Once again the Wings were forced to come from behind. They were down 3-0 at the end of the first before Pavelich, Skov and Delvecchio hit the twine behind McNeil.Although the Wings went undefeated in the four games, it was, nevertheless one of the longest winless streaks the Wings have been on in the past few seasons. &#9632;

Wings Play Four Tie Games in Row, Three On Road One At Home

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;Give the hockey spectators a fighting, hustling team and they&rsquo;ll support you every time. Give &rsquo;em a lackadaisical, haphazard aggregation and they become consplciou3 by their absence.This has been true for years and is proving Itself again this season. New York and Boston both made determined attempts to ice improved teams this season and both clubs are playing heads-up hockey and as a result the attendance is up in both cities.The Rangers have played four games up to November 13 in New York and the Bruins a similar number in Boston. The Broadway Blue Shirts are up on their attendance for the same period a year ago of approximately 3,100. The Bruins are ahead by 2,170 for the same time a year ago.Boston and New York both had dismal years at the box office last season and they both knew that they would have to display better clubs this season if they expected to lure the cash customers through the turnstiles. With this in mind both clubs went ahead during the summer months on a rebuilding chore. Boston didn&rsquo;t make many of their moves until just prior to the start of the season. The reason for this being the sale of the Bruins from Weston Adams to the Boston Garden headed by Walter Brown was held up longer than expected. However, the sale of the Bruins was the best thing that could have happened to the club.There is absolutely new spirit in the Bruins camp this term and it&rsquo;s found its way all the way from General Manager Art Ross down to the assistant equipment manager. The team is full of pep and bounce and optimism has become the kneynote whereas gloom and misery was predominant last year. Ross is once again regularly attending the Bruins practices, something he got away from doing the past few seasons. Coach Lynn Patrick knew what players he needed to bolster ths team that finished fourth last spring and he went ahead and got them. &ldquo;This is my kind of a team. I knew the players I wanted and I was fortunate enough to be able to get them,&rdquo; Patrick remarked only last week.In the annual pre-season poll conducted by THE HOCKEY NEWS the hockey writers selected the Bruins for the cellar. That made Patrick see red and he&rsquo;s got his charges hepped up to the point where they&rsquo;re out to make the so-called experts look like monkeys. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll finish the season in either second, third or fourth place.&rdquo; Patrick said after Boston lost to Montreal on November 8, for their first defeat in seven starts. The Bruins won four and tied two during their six-game unbeaten streak.The Bruins spirited play has been responsible for a new hockey Interest in and around Beantown this year and the biggest crowd to turn out for a hockey game In two years was on hand Sunday November 11 to see Bruins play a 1-1 tie with the Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs. A throng of 13,121 was on hand for this game which was the Bruins fourth game on Boston Garden ice this term. In their three previous games they were under 10,000 mark in each case, but now that they&rsquo;ve hit the 13,121 mark It may not be long before it&rsquo;s a regular occurence for the writers to start off their &ldquo;stories: &ldquo;Another capacity crowd of 13,909 was on hand at the Boston Garden last night.&rdquo; This was what happened each time the Bruins skated onto the Garden ice during the war years and the first couple of post war years.The players the Bruins picked up this season to give the team the needed bolstering were Jim Henry in goal, Gus Kyle on defence and such forwards as Adam Brown, Penttl Lund, George &lsquo;Red&rsquo; Sullivan and Ray Barry. Henry has been a tower of strength In goal and right now is the League&rsquo;s best netminder. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s 50 per cent better than last year&rsquo;s goalkeeper,&rdquo; Patrick said. Kyle and Lund came to the Bruins from the Rangers in a trade for Paul Ronty. Kyle Is just about the best bodychecker In the N.H.L. even if he&rsquo;s also probably the crudest. Gus has supplied the Boston defense with the stuffing it needed so badly. Teamed with Bill Qauckenbush, an expert stick checker but not one to throw his body Into opposing players very much, Kyle rounds out a formidable defensive combination.Adam Brown, the former Detroit and Chicago player, whom the Bruins acquired via the waiver route has been the sensation of the team thus far. The balding, 31-year-old veteran is presently the second top point-collector in the National League with 11 points and is the second best goal scorer with seven tallies. Maurice Richard of Canadiens is best with 10 goals. A pair of rookies playing their first season in the N.H.L., George &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Sullivan and Boston-born Ray Barry have also helped the team a lot. Sullivan, a redheaded Irish man, should capture the Imagination of the vast Irish population in Boston once he acquires a little more experience. Barry looks right at home In hockey&rsquo;s big tent.So with Coach Patrick directing his forces in the same cold, calculating manner he did with the Rangers two seasons ago when they came a game away from winning the Stanley Cup, hockey appears headed for an upward surge in the Hub City. Walter Brown, new president of the club, is also going to prove a valuable addition to the front office. One of the most popular sports promoters to be found anywhere, Brown gets an excellent press in Boston and he is on friendly terms with everyone. The Bruins should come in for some splendid publicity once they convince the scribes and radio men that they have what it takes and after the first 40 games of the 1951-52 season have been written Into the record books, it appears they&rsquo;ve shown the press they belong.New York dished out aproximately $90,000 during the off-season to gain the services of Hy Buller, top American League defenseman and Wally Hergesheimer, outstanding first-year player in the American League last season, from the Cleveland Barons. They also signed Jim Ross, a rookie defenseman; obtained Gayt, Stewart from Detroit in a straight swap for Tony Leswick, and picked up Paul Ronty from Boston.While the Rangers haven&rsquo;t exactly been sitting the League afire they&rsquo;ve played much better hockey this season than they did for thi a-same time a year ago. At leas they&rsquo;ve shown a team that&rsquo;s no er afraid to battle all the way and bed showing some new faces to the Manhattan fans they&rsquo;re displayed their keen intention to ice an improved team. &#9632;

Both Club Show Boost Over ’50-51

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01127/1211717-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="264" height="425"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jack Stewart</figcaption></div>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;The New York Rangers and Boston&rsquo;s surprising Bruins continue to affect the Chicago hockey future in somewhat reverse manners. The Hawks have taken both games with the Blueshirts so far, but have a record exactly opposite to that of Lynn Patrick&rsquo;s hustlers, picked by many experts to end up in the NHL cellar this year. The Bruins also topped the Hawks in a recent exhibition game at Milwaukee.Chicago&rsquo;s second victory over the Rangers, last week at the Stadium, gained unusual stature when Neil Colville pulled Chuck Rayner out of the New York nets for most of the final four minutes. With the Hawks ahead 3-1, Bep Guidolin had been sent off for hooking and this gave the visitors a 6 to 4 player advantage. The stragedy looked pretty good when Don Raleigh pushed one past Harry Lumley less than a minute later, but it all went for naught a few moments later when Jim McFadden passed to Billy Mosienko who shot into the empty Ranger cage to make the final edge 4-2.<h2>Bentley Gets Number One</h2>The New York game marked the return of Doug Bentley as a goal snipper. The Hawks were trailing 1-0, at the 17:50 mark of the second stanza when Doug notched his first goal of the season. Less than a minute later he sent Chicago ahead by knocking his own rebound past Rayner. Al Dewsbury had carried the puck down the ice a la Earl Siebert both times and received well-deserved assists.The second game with Boston, which ended a seven-game home stand for the Hawks, was supposed to mark the first time that the Chicagoans would be at full strength since a year ago. However, Bentley and Clare Martin were forced to sit this one out and Capt. Jack Stewart, making his first start since being sidelined with a fractured skull October 14, could play only eight minutes.Just before the game it was found that Doug had suffered a reoccurance of an old groin injury. Martin was advised to let his sore elbow (a chipped bone) rest a little more. Stewart&rsquo;s injury was still giving him some painful, throbbing headaches.Despite the second loss to Boston, both Hawk goals were important to the men that scored him Gus Bodnar potted No. 100 in NHL competition early in the first period and Roy Conacher mad it 225 in the major league at 15:37 of the second period.Bodnar&rsquo;s achievement came after nine seasons and 415 games in the National league. Forty-eight of the goals came in four seasons as a Toronto Maple Leaf while the last 52 have come in four campaigns of good, aggressive hockey with the Hawks. The fact that he&rsquo;s outstanding as a defensive forward makes his arrival at the century mark even more note worthy. &#9632;

Headaches Prevent ‘Black Jack’ From Hitting Old Stride

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;Chicago hockey fans are still definitely concerned with the Black Hawks&rsquo; playoff chances, but the big question on their lips now is, &ldquo;Will Doug Bentley come back long enough to set a new all-time scoring record?&rdquo;The greatest Hawk player of all was recently ordered to take a complete rest for two weeks by the team&rsquo;s physician, Dr. Myron J. Tremaine. The reason for the drastic action was the serious reoccurance of an old groin injury.Dr. Tremaine said, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s difficult to tell if the rest and diathermy treatments that Doug&rsquo;s taking will do the trick. I&rsquo;ve seen such care work with younger men, but Doug &mdash; well he&rsquo;s 35 now. I think the final decision will really be up to him.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02113/1211748-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="403" height="408"><figcaption class="caption-body">DOUG BENTLEY</figcaption></div>If Doug is allowed to have the final word we know he&rsquo;ll decide to return to the ice, if just long enough to establish a new scoring mark. It&rsquo;s something he&rsquo;s been trying for a long time and really deserves!The Bentley scoring record of 217 goals, 314 assists and 531 points is now just 17 behind Bill Cowley&rsquo;s top mark of 195 goals, 353 assists and 548 points.Suppose Doug takes that two-week rest and returns. He will have quite a few games in which to notch the 18 points to establish a new top and everyone knows he&rsquo;s still capable of nearly a point a night. Last year he played in only 44 of the Hawks&rsquo; 70 games, but still accounted for 32 points from nine goals and 23 assists. &#9632;

Return Decision Must Be Made By Doug, Says Doc

TORONTO &mdash; The Toronto Globe and Mail criticized President Clarence Campbell of the NHL for letting Maurice Richard off free from punishment over his brawl with Bill Juzda in which the Leafs defenseman was koed.&ldquo;That&rsquo;s dandy. Just peachy said Gord Walker of the paper, &ldquo;for just $50 Richard knows now he can buy the following privledges: (a) Threatening to bludgeon and opposing player on the head with his stick; (b) becoming involved in a fight; (c) kicking an opposing player with his skates; (d) jumping from the penalty box onto the ice to start another fight; (e) sneak punching an opposing player almost into unconsciousness.&ldquo;Flaman was the Leaf Richard threatened to buldgeon with his stick. And it was Flaman, whose chest shows a lengthy red welt, whom Richard kicked with his skates, after the Toronto defenseman and pinned the Rocket. Ross Lowe was just hoisting Flaman off Richard when the skates lashed out.&rdquo; &#9632;

Toronto Paper Criticises Prexy For Not Punishing ‘The Rocket’

And vice versa. Likewise anybody who wasn&rsquo;t continually conscious of condition was inviting a trip to the minors.It should therefore have been obvious that there was at least one member of the. Leaf club at that time who could go to Pittsburgh. That would be Ray Tim-gren, a definite asset to the Leafs as a checker, a penalty killer and as just a good guy to have around but something of a bust when it came to producing goals because last season, in a full 70 games, he only connected once and in his whole time as a Leaf the two years before that had scored 10 goals.<h2>Lewicki a Shocking Selection</h2>The rather shocking selection for the recipient of the second ticket to the minors was Danny Lewicki who has received a lot more publicity around here than Whipper Billy Watson and who, just a few short weeks ago at training camp, had all the scribes babbling to themselves at his ability to fill in at center.Smythe joined the chorus himself and it appeared that Dashin&rsquo; Danny who survived the rigours of the C-form controversy and who represents quite a sizeable investment to the Leafs was in like Flynn, as they say around the Gardens grill.But Smythe gave him his ticket, whatever his reason (and it&rsquo;s most logical to presume that Lewicki had let his condition slip) and thus produced another one of those hassles which have marked Dan&rsquo;l&rsquo;s stormy career ever since, it seems, he first showed in Toronto as a member of that great Port Arthur West End Bruins club.Dan, now a married man, had just got himself settled in an apartment, a rather scarce commodity around here, and balked at the suggestion that he should have to leave town.&ldquo;He&rsquo;ll be suspended,&rdquo; said Smythe.&ldquo;So suspend me,&rdquo; said Danny in effect.It reached a happy conclusion, though, when three days later Smythe persuaded him that he wasn&rsquo;t quite sharp enough to keep up with the Abels, Howes, Laprades and Schmidts and Lewicki, nodding aquiescence was due to depart. An injury to Tod Sloan delayed it another day while Smythe made sure that nobody was going to get hurt in scrimmage and then he went.Rudy Migay, a center and Bob Solinger, the former sensation of the AHL while he was with the Cleveland Barons, got the promotions and though Migay is a solid checker and a hard worker and Solly might score a few goals, there has still been nothing said to indicate that they have found steady employment with the big club. &#9632;

Second Lewicki Hassle But This Time It’s Condition

TORONTO &mdash; There will be other changes on The Leafs, if necessary, says Conn Smythe. Smythe doesn&rsquo;t think that in a &ldquo;wonderful hockey city like Toronto&rdquo; anyone would be satisfied With a fourth of fifth-place club. He admitted he now thought the Leafs would be better than he figured when, in a pre-season prediction, he called them to finish fourth. He implied they might finish second behind Detroit, with the other clubs close together in a scramble for the remaining two playoff positions.&ldquo;As to Timgren and Lewicki, we&rsquo;re sending these youngsters down so they can be tutored under fire and get back, instead of having them deteriorate on the bench here. If we could get Lewicki toughened up and ready, we&rsquo;d have quite a club to toss into the playoffs. But he wants to play centre here and not there.&rdquo; &#9632;

Smythe Figures Lewicki Will Help Leafs If He Toughens Up

TORONTO &mdash; General Manager Conn Smythe of the Toronto Maple Leafs says he is quite proud of the way his players handled themselves in the Montreal-Toronto fuss recently in which defenseman Bill Juzda was walloped.They&rsquo;ve been doing it for 20 years,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;Look it up. We&rsquo;ve got the greatest road record in hockey We don&rsquo;t have players who scare. All these great fights take place out of town, and we don&rsquo;t back down. Why aren&rsquo;t the other teams as brave in Toronto as they are at home?&rdquo; &#9632;

Such is the opinion of Frank Boucher, Ranger manager.&ldquo;The Leafs long have been noted as a hold-and-clutch club,&rdquo; says Boucher. &ldquo;Now that they can&rsquo;t protect their net with those tactics and get away with them, their defense is in a bad slump. Toronto has lost four straight Saturday games at home, an unheard of event.&rdquo;It also is interesting to note, as Boucher pointed out, that fewer penalties are being called under the new refeering regime. Once they became convinced they&rsquo;d wind up in the coop for stuff they used to get away with, the boys abandoned most of their attempts at larceny.&ldquo;Now it remains to be seen whether the Leafs can play clean hockey and survive,&rdquo; comments Frank. &ldquo;Takes time to teach old hands new tricks.&rdquo; &#9632;

Clean-Up Hits Leafs Hardest Says Boucher

TORONTO &mdash; The players of the Toronto Maple Leafs are a little indignant over the way the Montreal official scorer dished out the points in the game Juzda and Richard had their brawl.This is how they saw it: Mac-kell passed out to Watson for a goal, after Juzda had thrown the puck up to Mackell, but Juzda didn&rsquo;t get an assist. On Sid Smith&rsquo;s goal, no assists were given although Jim Thompson gave the puck to Max Bentley, whose shot was blocked by Gerry McNeil, just before Smith drove the rebound home. &#9632;

LOUIS, Mo.&mdash;Time marches on, but it&rsquo;s a safe bet that henceforth all hockey-minded fans of the St. Louis area will refer to happenings as &ldquo;so many days, weeks or months before &mdash; or after &mdash; the day of the big snow (Nov. 6 1951), when the St. Louis Flyer&rsquo;s hockey team had to call off its scheduled hockey game for the first time in 24 years because of the bad weather.&rdquo;According to the St. Louis Weather Bureau, the snow-fall was the deepest in 39 years and the heaviest for November in 110 years here. After the 26-hour fall had been measured, it was found that 12&frac12; inches of the frozen flakes had covered the ground, and St. Louis, unaccustomed to this sort of thing, was caught completely off-guard. The transportation system was knocked out of commission, parker cars were buried under snow-banks and for 24 hours, the city&rsquo;s normal activities were almost completely paralyzed.Schools closed at noon Nov. 6 and students were tlod not to report back at least for two days. Department stores closed in midafternoon and most business houses and manufacturing plants followed suit, in the hope that their employees could get a good start home while the blizzard raged.Caught in the midst of it all was the Flyers&rsquo; scheduled game With the Buffalo Bisons. Frantic efforts were made by the crew at the Arena to prepare for &ldquo;business as usual,&rdquo; and anxious fans, who watched the snow pile up hour after hour, were told, upon phoning Jackie Weaver of the Flyers&rsquo; promotional department: &ldquo;The show must go one! The Flyers will play tonight!&rdquo; But&mdash;Emory Jones, president of the Flyers, snow-bound for hours, eventually arrived at the Arena from his suburban Kirkwood home, to be greeted by only a handful of employees who arrived on the scene somehow. Even the telephone service was on a hit-or-miss basis by this time, because of the peak load and, after noting that Head Maintenance Man Pete McEvoy and his crew were fighting a futile battle with the elements, he put through a phone call to Maurice Podoloff, president of the American Hockej League, explaining conditions, and received permission to postpone the game until Friday night, Feb 8, when Buffalo returns. Thus two games will be played by the Bisons here on that occasion, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 8 and 9.<h2>31 Fans Arrive</h2>But the situation didn&rsquo;t end right there. Radio and television stations, as well as newspapers, were called and requested to inform the public at once that there would be no game that night. Still, realizing that there would be some who would not be reached by the emergency announcement &mdash; for it was past noon by now &mdash; Jones went into a huddle with his coach, Mud Bruneteau, and it was decided to put on some kind of a performance for those unsuspecting fans who might brave the elements to see the hockey match.Flyer players were told to report at the rink, as scheduled, for a practice exhibition and, sure enough, 31 snow-covered, panting fans trudged their way into the Arena that night, not realizing that the game had been put off. McEvoy and his men, piling snow perhaps 10 or 12 feet high in some places, managed to clear off the traffic lanes leading to the Arena, but little or no space could be cleared on the huge parking lots because the snow had been packed down by this time and the equipment, more suited for the light snows that fall here, wouldn&rsquo;t handle the big heaps.&ldquo;We found places for the people to park,&rdquo; McEvoy said, &ldquo;and we dumped about 40 pounds of salt on the run-ways to break up the ice. But my men were so dog-tired that it would have been impossible to shovel those tons and tons of snow off the lot thal the machinery wouldn&rsquo;t handle.&rdquo;At any rate, a lively hockey exhibitlon was held&mdash;so lively, in fact, that one of the Flyers&rsquo; regular defensemen, Capt. liddii Nicholson, met with a mishap tha forced him out of action for several following games. He hit fel low defenseman George Milligan&rsquo; stick, fell and landed against thi goal-post, severely injuring he left hip.But just in the moment of despair, and at the height of the big blizzard, in walker Clare (Rags) Raglan, brillant defenseman, who had been assigned to the Flyers by Ebbie Goodfellow&rsquo;s Chicago Black Hawks. That caused Bruneteau to view the situation in a brighter light for, even with his game called off, his captain injured and the snow still pelting down in a raging blizzard, the Flyer coached remarked: &ldquo;Now I know what they mean when they say: &lsquo;It&rsquo;s an ill wind that doesn&rsquo;t blow somebody some good&rsquo;. For Raglan, just blew in!&rdquo;<h2>No Transportation</h2>The Buffalo team, which arrived in St. Louis late in the afternoon, would have been ready for the game&mdash;if transportation could have been procured to haul the players to the rink.The Flyer players, meanwhile, took the situation in stride. Being Canadians who were raised in snow-drifts, the young men weren&rsquo;t as befuddled by it all as the local citizenry, though most of them admitted they had never seen one continuous fall that had piled up so deeply.Bruneteau, for instance, who coached for five years at Omaha, Nebraska before coming here, remarked: &ldquo;We had some big snows up there, but the city was better prepared to handle such situations. We looked for heavy snow and took it in stride. But this was the worst continuous snow I ever saw.&rdquo;But Mud didn&rsquo;t let it go at that He recalled, he said, snow-drifts &ldquo;as high as the cross-bars on telephone posts&rdquo; in his native St. Boniface, Manitoba.That got Nicholson to telling of the snows he had seen. &ldquo;When you looked across the snow, back home in Kingston, Ontario, you&rsquo;d see only the tops of street-cars moving along between huge drifts,&rdquo; he said. That was years ago, when he was just a youngster, but his dad, he declared, had told him of some terrific snows he had been through.Roy Kelly and Glen Sonmor, who had been with Cleveland&rsquo;s Barons last year, pointed out that while the St. Louis snow was &ldquo;pretty bad,&rdquo; the 21-inch fall at Cleveland that forced the Barons to call off two games, on Saturday and Sunday, was even worse.Another former Cleveland teammate, incidentally, Harry Taylor, was the only Flyer who failed to reach the rink for the local workout Nov. 6. He made every possible effort but transportation facilities were down completely and he was excused when he couldn&rsquo;t dig his own car out of the drifts.Jackie Hamilton, last year with Providence, recalled that his team made the trip to Cleveland, then was &ldquo;snowed out.&rdquo; He added: &ldquo;We had several instances in Providence when the teams were delayed enroute by heavy snow, and the games didn&rsquo;t start until 11 p.m.&rdquo;Don Morrison recalled an experience back in 1947 when he was playing with Detroit and his team&rsquo;s game at Boston had to be called off because of fog on the ice, brought on by warm weather. Pat Lundy brought up last year&rsquo;s Chicago Black Hawks&rsquo; game that had to be put off because it was too warm in Chicago to make ice. &ldquo;But this was the first time I saw a game called off on dccount ot snow,&rdquo; he grinned.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-02107/1211965-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="568" height="1533"><figcaption class="caption-body">Hit The PostEDDIE NICHOLSON</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0374/1211958-1-eng-US/f0003-032.jpg" title="f0003-03" width="577" height="870"><figcaption class="caption-body">With the WindCLARE RAGLAN</figcaption></div><h2>Finney Tells One</h2>Sid Finney, one of the Flyer newcomers, mentioned some games at Regina, Sask., last year in which the teams were delayed. &ldquo;We started as late as 12 o&rsquo;clock (midnight) and finished up around 2.30 a.m. on. two occasions,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;And one game went overtime, too!&rdquo;Such Flyer veterans as Goalie Ralph Almas, George Milligan and Cliff Simpson had never had an experience of having a game called off, due to snow and Rookie Stan Witiuk recalled how he had played outdoor hockey in the north country around Winnipeg, as a kid, with the mercury standing at 30 below zero and snow piled up &ldquo;sky high&rdquo; around the rink.At any rate, it&rsquo;s going to be a mighty long time before St. Louie hockey fans and players stop talking about the &ldquo;big snow&rdquo; of Nov. 6 that forced the Flyers to call off their first game in 24 years, due to inclement local weather conditions. &#9632;

CallOff Game ScheduledFor Buffalo Club

ST. LOUIS, &mdash; Mo. &mdash; Alex (Shrimp) McPherson, Flyers&rsquo; trainer and former star center and coach of the St. Louis club that once performed in the old American Association, recalled the only instance on record, prior to the day of the &ldquo;big snow,&rdquo; Nov. 6, when a Flyer game here had to be called off because of weather conditions &mdash; but NOT in St. Louis.&ldquo;It was during the 1930-31 season,&rdquo; Shrimp reminisced. &ldquo;Our game here with St. Paul had to be cancelled because the visiting club, scheduled to fly here from St. Paul, couldn&rsquo;t take off due to a terrific fog in St. Paul. Naturally, with no opponent to play, the Flyers had no alternative but to call off the game.&ldquo;If memory serves me right, the St. Paul club had hired that same plane for the trip here that later cracked up with the entire Winnipeg Toilers&rsquo; basketball club aboard.&rdquo; &#9632;

Passing The Puck

<div class="byline">(Sports Editor Montreal Gazette)</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-1039/1212114-1-eng-US/f0004-102.jpg" title="f0004-10" width="248" height="381"></div>Kenny Reardon, Montreal Canadiens&rsquo; goodwill ambassador, was asking a number of questions about the newspaper business recently.&ldquo;What&rsquo;s a reporter?&rdquo; he wanted to know.&ldquo;Why, a guy who reports the news,&rdquo; he was told.&ldquo;What&rsquo;s a critic?&rdquo;Len Bramson, of the HOCKEY NEWS, and Dick Irvin were listening, since the conversation was taking place in Dick&rsquo;s office.&ldquo;Look that one up In the book&mdash;I mean that dictionary you&rsquo;ve got,&rdquo; Dick Instructed Len.&ldquo;It says here,&rdquo; answered Len, thumbing the pages to the c&rsquo;s, &lsquo;that a critic Is a fault finder.&rdquo;While Dick smiled with satisfaction, Len held up a warning hand.&ldquo;It also says one skilled In judging literary or artistic works,&rdquo; said Len. &ldquo;But I guess that doesn&rsquo;t apply.&rdquo;&ldquo;No,&rdquo; agreed Dick, &ldquo;they&rsquo;re talking about Morgan Powell there, I guess. Isn&rsquo;t that what Morgan is?&rdquo;&ldquo;Well, Morgan&rsquo;s been just about everything. He started as a reporter, became a city editor, a news editor and a managing editor. He may have set type and swept out the joint, too, for all we know.&rdquo;&ldquo;What&rsquo;s the difference between a reporter, a columnist and an editor?&rdquo; persisted Kenny.&ldquo;A reporter presents the facts without any editorializing&mdash;or he&rsquo;s supposed to.&rdquo;&ldquo;That&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;m getting at,&rdquo; interrupted Kenny. &ldquo;All he&rsquo;s supposed to do Is write the facts and keep his own opinions to himself.&rdquo;&ldquo;More or less. A news story reports the news and an editorial interprets the news. You expect editorials to be slanted:&rdquo;Kenny thought that over for a moment and then switched to a wire report of the game between the Chicago Black Hawks and the Toronto Leafs in Maple Leaf Gardens the previous night, which the Leafs won by a 1-0 score.&ldquo;The guy who wrote the story said it was an uninspiring victory,&rdquo; said Kenny. &ldquo;He said the crowd sat on their hands all night and that the game was so dull they started filing out long before the end. Do you call that reporting?&rdquo;&ldquo;Why not? Maybe the game was dull and maybe they did start to walk out on It before it was over. Maybe he was just reporting the facts.&rdquo;&ldquo;How does he know the people who left didn&rsquo;t come from out of town and had to catch a train?&rdquo; he asked. &ldquo;That could be it, couldn&rsquo;t It?&rdquo;&ldquo;It could be but It Isn&rsquo;t likely. The trains leave at the same time every night and this was the first night the reporter noticed the mass exit. That Is, the first night he noticed It since you were in the league.&rdquo;&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s skip the personalities,&rdquo; Kenny replied briskly.Carl Voss, referee-ln-chlef of the National Hockey League, had been there from the beginning but had taken no part in the conversation up till now.&ldquo;The referee telephoned me after it was over and told me it was a terrific game,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;How about that? He wasn&rsquo;t under any, obligation to say it was a terrific game If It wasn&rsquo;t.&rdquo;&ldquo;True enough. But maybe he Isn&rsquo;t as good a reporter as the fellow who wrote the story. You wouldn&rsquo;t expect him to be because he hasn&rsquo;t had the training.&rdquo;This brought Kenny back to the line of argument he had been pursuing and to the point he Intended to make in the first place.&ldquo;Canadians are supreme in hockey,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the only thing in which they lead the whole world.&rdquo;&ldquo;That&rsquo;s only partly true,&rdquo; he was reminded. &ldquo;They lead the world in the production of hard wheat and they&rsquo;re pretty good at manufacturing those atomic pineapples.&rdquo;&ldquo;Maybe so,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;but I know we&rsquo;re the only people in the world who know how to play hockey. One of our eighth-grade teams can go out and beat the best that any other nation can produce. We know what it&rsquo;s all about. So why do we go and knock our national game? The Americans produce great ball players and football players and golfers, but you don&rsquo;t see the American sports writers knocking those games. They&rsquo;re building them up all the time.&ldquo;The American sports writers knock hockey, but they don&rsquo;t know much about It. It isn&rsquo;t bred in the bone with them. But you guys see them knocking it and you follow their example.&rdquo;Well, how many hours are there in a day, and when does a fellow in this business get the time to read the American papers? He&rsquo;s too busy reading what the competition in his own town has to say.&ldquo;Listen,&rdquo; said Dick Irvin, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been around the league a good many years and I haven&rsquo;t yet seen a newspaper man who&rsquo;s ready to give any credit to a visiting team. A visiting team can come to Montreal and play a terrific game. One of their forwards may score a beautiful goal to win the game. But do you think he gets any credit for it? Or does his team get any credit for winning?&ldquo;No, you pick up the papers the next day and the home team was lousy. The goalkeeper was jittery or the defense was weak or the forwards were leaning on their sticks. It isn&rsquo;t only Montreal.It&rsquo;s every city in the league. I&rsquo;ve told the hockey writers in the other five cities that I&rsquo;ll buy a hat for the first guy who writes that we earned the win when we beat their team on their own ice.&rdquo;&ldquo;So what happens in the dressing room after you lose a game?&rdquo; Dick was asked. &ldquo;Do you give the visiting forward who scored the winning goal credit for making a beautiful play? No, you jump on his check and say, &lsquo;Where were you when that goal was scored?&rsquo; When you&rsquo;re ready to admit that the other team earned their victory we&rsquo;ll buy you a hat.&rdquo; &#9632;

DINK CARROLL Playing the Field

<div class="byline">By LEN BRAMSON</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-0634/1212204-1-eng-US/f0005-062.jpg" title="f0005-06" width="582" height="606"><figcaption class="caption-body">ROSS LOWE</figcaption></div>&mdash; MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;One deal which the Montreal Canadiens are positive has worked out just the way they wish all deals would is the one in which they secured defenseman Ross Lowe from the Bruins for Hal Laycoe. Lowe, who wasn&rsquo;t used to any great extent at the beginning of the season is flow rated a triple threat defenseman. He has proven he can score goals, carry the puck and hit onrushing forwards with as much power as any rearguard In the league.&ldquo;The guy&rsquo;s found that confidence,&rdquo; said one of his teammates. I think he feels that he can help the team and he is needed. He&rsquo;s Improving every time he goes out there.&rdquo;Lowe has not only become a triple threat for the Habs but he&rsquo;s also become a favourite of the hot and cold Montreal fandom Which has so many times spelled doom to the career of a hockey player.When he scored his first goal of the season against his former club, the Boston Bruins he was given an ovation usually reserved for Maurice Richard and few others.Lowe scored while his own club was shorthanded by two players. Olmstead and Johnson were Bitting in the penalty box when Lowe rushed veteran Bill Quackenbush. The puck slipped through Quack&rsquo;s legs and Lowe was on it in a flash. &ldquo;Nobody could have caught him, he was going so fast, said one observer in the press box.The puck rolled to the left side of the ice and Ross swung over, put it on the end of his stick and moved in on Henry. He crossed in front, faked him on the left Bide and then dumped it into the right with all the ease of a ten year veteran.&ldquo;I knew I had him all the way because he was so far out of his net,&rdquo; was Lowe&rsquo;s comment after he scored. &ldquo;Besides he made the first move. I should have had one against Chicago like that.&rdquo;A forward, converted to the defense, Lowe is one of the finest puck carrying defenseman in the League as well as the fastest.That he has been a big help to the Habs goes without saying. He still has plenty to learn about defensive work but from what he&rsquo;s shown so far it&rsquo;s generally agreed that he&rsquo;s fast to learn. Defensively he is a bit shy on experience. He gets the puck out of his own zone all right, his main weakness is being caught out of the play. In the same game against the Bruins he was in the left hand corner at the Canadiens end having a pushing contest with Milt Schmidt when the Bruins scored. But those are mistakes that must be expected.Lowe, who hails from Oshawa, Ontario played junior hockey for the Generals. He turned pro with the Hershey Bears in 1948-49 and in 49 games scored four goals and added seven assists for 11 points. The following season he played three games for the Bruins but was shipped back to Hershey and that season, in 57 games he scored seven goals and added 15 assists for 22 points.In 1950-51 he was recalled by the Bruins and spent 43 games with them. He scored five goals and added 3 assists for eight points. He also played 25 games in the American League with Hershey and Buffalo and was brought up by the Canadiens to toke part in two playoff games.The Canadiens traded Laycoe for Lowe after the former refused to go to Buffalo. The Bruins, lacking experience at the blueline weren&rsquo;t too happy about parting with the swift skating Lowe but did so in order that they come go into the playoffs against the Leafs with a well balanced rearguard corps.All of which meant little to the Habs. They saw their chance to replace Glem Harmon with a fiery type of defenseman who was fast, tough and willing to learn. They haven&rsquo;t regretted the move, and it&rsquo;s doubtful that they ever will. &#9632;

Deal To Get Lowe One Which Habs Would Make Any Time

MONTREAL&mdash;Coach Dick Irvin of the Montreal repudiated Conn Smythe&rsquo;s arument that the Detroit Red Wings are the Kitty-Bar-The-Door experts of the National Hockey League. In fact Mons Irvin went just a little farther and did everything but blame Smythe for trying to cover up for his own club.&ldquo;Leafs are the &lsquo;Kitty-Bar-The-Door&rsquo; team of the League today,&rdquo; said Irvin, &ldquo;and that&rsquo;s why their customers are walking out. They got one goal against us, then closed up like clams on Toronto ice. They did the same thing with the Hawks and the customers walked out. They don&rsquo;t walk out when we play.&rdquo; &#9632;

Irvin Says The Leafs Not Wings Kitty-Bar Experts

MONTREAL &mdash; Coach Dick Irvin of the Montreal went on record this week as saying that centerman Elmer Lach is the greatest two way player in the history of the game.&ldquo;I developed Syl Apps, and many other great hockey players in the course of my coaching career,&rdquo; Irvin told Sports Editor Elmer Ferguson of the Montreal Herald, &ldquo;but I want to say this: The greatest of all Is Lach. He Is the best two way player In the entire history of the National Hockey League.&ldquo;I would be very silly,&rdquo; said Irvin, &ldquo;to try and detract from the greatness of Cowley, Apps or some other great centers. All I say is that Lach is the greatest of all, because he can skate, stickhandle, score, lay down perfect passes on the attack and he can check back and kill of penalties with the best of them.&rdquo; &#9632;

Do you realize we&rsquo;ve only scored as many as three goals once in our first 10 games?&rdquo;The coach then answered himself. &ldquo;The players are tight and tense around the goal. They are shooting blind. When they don&rsquo;t see a big opening, they don&rsquo;t feint to get one. They shoot right into the goalkeeper.&rdquo;In making his point, Colville remarked that Ed Slowinski, who&rsquo;s playing a pretty good right wing this year, should have had at least three or four goals in Chicago recently. &ldquo;He was in alone, time after time, and Lumley beat him easily,&rdquo; Neil said. &ldquo;Eddie did a nice piece of skating and stickhandling to get in there, and then tensed up at the last moment.&rdquo;In another game in Detroit, Wally Hergesheimer blew at least three excellent scoring chances. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s one of the forwards we&rsquo;ve been counting on most,&rdquo; Colville said. &ldquo;Yet he gets overanxious and shoots too soon.&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not that goalkeepers are any better against us,&rdquo; the coach added. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been making them look good. Not because we can&rsquo;t shoot, either. Watch us in practice. Rayner has a helluva time.&rdquo;<h2>Need One Big Game</h2>It was at this point that Frank Boucher, a philosopher without portfolio, spoke up. &ldquo;You know, I have the solution,&rdquo; he promised. All we need is just one big game. We score a lot, everyone gets confident and relaxed and we have no trouble after that. Believe me, all we need is one.&rdquo;All that some of the Ranger scorers need is one, too. Among those who still hadn&rsquo;t put one in the net after 10 games were Edgar Laprade, Slowinski, Gaye Stewart and Paul Ronty.Except for the scoring department, New York has shown an ability to hold its own with anyone In the League. &ldquo;We have a sound defense,&rdquo; Boucher pointed out. &ldquo;We have good passing and we have the scoring potential. There have been few games where we haven&rsquo;t had more good scoring opportunities than the opposing team.&rdquo;In nine of their 10 games, the Rangers held a lead at one time or another. The fact they won only three of them isn&rsquo;t a black mark against the defense.&ldquo;I have no complaint against the defense,&rdquo; Colville said. &ldquo;Right now, I&rsquo;d say we&rsquo;re at least 20 per cent better in that department than last year. We&rsquo;ll even improve more, when the youngsters gain experience.&rdquo;The high defenseman on his totem pole is Allan Stanley, two-year veteran. &ldquo;Mark my words, he&rsquo;s All-Star,&rdquo; the coach prophesied. &ldquo;The only thing he lacks to be great is viciousness. Allan is much too easy going. Maybe if he gets another broken nose or two (he&rsquo;s had two this year), he&rsquo;ll get real tough and sore.&rdquo;Hymie Buller, one of three rookies, has been very good both on offense and defense. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a good puck carrier, which we&rsquo;ve needed,&rdquo; Neil remarked. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a fine passer and a very good shot &mdash; our best from the blue line.&rdquo;Steve Kraftcheck, who was a doubtful quantity when the Rangers weaned him from the Bruins, has been completely satisfactory. He may not be as smooth as Buller or Stanley, but he makes all the plays. He&rsquo;s strong and tough and, with Jack Evans, acts as policeman.Evans, incidentally, is coming along after a slow start attributable to an injured shoulder. So is Capt. Frank Eddolls, the real solid guy in the lineup who never flashes. The sixth defenseman, rookie Jim Ross, hasn&rsquo;t been used enough to obtain a study.ICE CHIPS: Stanley was no little perturbed upon occasion of his second nasal accident on Sunday, Nov. 4, in Detroit. He complained that Gordie Howe unnecessarily slashed him with stick while he (Stanley) was skating laterally to cut off winger&rsquo;s charge down right lane. &ldquo;The nose was broken and I needed two stitches to close a cut, Stanley pointed out. &ldquo;Yet there was no penalty. There wasn&rsquo;t after my first broken nose, either. When I pointed this out to the referee (Frank Udivari), he said I was lucky. If there had been a penalty, I&rsquo;d have gotten it for charging.&rdquo; &hellip; That was Rangers&rsquo; only beef this week. Bones Raleigh had two. (1) Goal judge got lazy in Montreal and stole goal from him by waiting at least two seconds before puttin on red light. By that time, green light flashed first, to end second period. (2) In Detroit, scorer gave Evans assist on Mickoski goal that Bones should have had. &ldquo;I put it on Nick&rsquo;s stick,&rdquo; Releigh said. That mistake may be corrected&hellip; For some reason, Rayner didn&rsquo;t come down with hay fever again after return to Garden following Horse Show. Earlier, after following rodeo in to home arena, goalie had awful attack &hellip; Colville likes Delvecchio best of all Detroit&rsquo;s rookies. &ldquo;He does more things on the ice,&rdquo; Neil said. &#9632;

Room 204 Kind&rsquo;s Hall Bidg.. 1231 Ste. Catherine Street West, Montreal 25, Que. Printed In CanadaVol. 5 November 17. 1951 No. 7One of the more remarkable facts unveiled in a recent survey of the ages of National Hockey League players was that the average number of birthdays celebrated by the Big League puckchaser has been gradually creeping upward over the past few years.Three years ago, the average age of the players performing in the NHL stood at a modest 25.4 years. Last year, that figure had crept up to 25.8 years, and this season it has risen to 26.1.The reasons behind this phenomenon provide plenty of ammunition for some good discussions around the Hot Stove these winter eves. In the meantime, we can only hazard a few suppositions in an effort to find the solution before the boys start tripping over their beards!One theory could be that there aren&rsquo;t enough good young players with the necessary talent to displace the vet-erans, and that does hold a certain amount of basis in fact. There have been numerous complaints by veteran hockey men that there just isn&rsquo;t a sufficient supply of youthful players coming along to adequately fill the requirements of the existing six teams in the NHL &mdash; let alone staff any additional teams as has often been urged in various quarters.Further fuel is added to the fire by the fact that Detroit Red Wings, with one of the most comprehensive and widespread &ldquo;farm&rdquo; systems in hockey, rate as the youngest team in the loop with a median age of 24.3 &hellip; But on the other hand the Montreal Canadiens, who have an equally elaborate farming and scouting system, rank third behind Detroit and New York Rangers. Canadiens&rsquo; average age is 25.6 years, still under the median figure for the league as a whole.When we go this far In a study of the age question, we run across a factor which may help to supply an answer, in part at least. And that is the unwillingness of most teams to take a chance on youth by letting experience go overboard.Detroit&rsquo;s management has proved itself over the past few years as willing to gamble on fresh talent. Season after season, the Wings are shaken up by elaborate trades which send players by the drove to other squads &mdash; usually to their friendly &ldquo;cousins&rdquo; &mdash; the Chicago Black Hawks. That in turn leaves room for some of the youngsters to come up from the farm clubs like Indianapolis of the American League and Omaha of the suspended USHL.Other clubs are usually a bit more cautious, bringing on some new talent each season, but at the same time hanging on to the old established regulars who are favorites of the hometown crowds. Even Toronto Maple Leafs, who for a few years wrote glittering history as a band of green, raw kids who swept everything before them, have become a bit more mature and staid lately. This season, Leafs are the four oldest squad in the circuit, weighing in at an average of 25.9.Boston Bruins and Chicago, the two teams which have made a practice of taking veteran players in trade over the past few seasons, naturally are the oldest in the NHL &mdash; with average ages of 27 and 27.8 respectively.Another angle this season is the reduction in the number of players each club can dress for any game. With two less men allowed in uniform, it&rsquo;s probably only natural that the clubs would want to retain their proven, experienced men rather than dispose of them only to find that the young replacements fizzle out after a few games.Whatever the reasons, the indisputable fact, is that National Hockey League players are definitely getting older year by year, and that experience is more and more getting the call over youth.<h2>TREASURED BELIEF TOTTERING</h2>For years it has been almost axiomatic in hockey that the team scoring the first goal in a game has a powerful advantage which should carry it along to eventual victory. But, like so many other beliefs in this topsy-turvy world, even that old adage is starting to take a licking in the NHL this season.In 35 games played up to the weekend of November 10-11, the team drawing first blood has gone on to win in 16 contests, while in 13 others that first goal proved a disadvantage as the opponents came on to win. A bit of pride can be salvaged in the fact that the ice-breakers hung on to eke out tie decisions in the other six games, since it can be argued that a tie isn&rsquo;t a loss so must be just about as good as a win! &#9632;

EXPERIENCE WINS OVER YOUTH

They have some of the greatest players and a great coach and will wind up in second place in my estimation. Detroit still has the strongest team. Toronto and Montreal are my other choices to wind up In the playoffs.It there are to be any surprises, I think it will be the Chicago Black Hawks.Stanley Purves. Milestone, Sask.<h2>Far Away Reply</h2>Dear Sir,Moved from Toronto some time ago, and have missed THE HOCKEY NEWS. The papers down here do not have one bit of hockey news. My brother buys the paper In Toronto and sends It to me.Your paper keeps me up on everything that happens in hockey, and is a very tine paper. I&rsquo;ve looked forward to it all summer.Referring to the statement Frank Boucher made about the Canadian clubs having an advantage (October 13th issue). It&rsquo;s natural all the kids want to play for Toronto. Toronto has the best team even without the broadcasts. Other teams in the States could have senior and junior clubs, if they went after developing the game like Conn Smythe.Jimmie White. El. Paso, Texas.<h2>Too Much Sawchuk</h2>Dear Sir,Terry Sawchuk! Terry Sawchuk! That&rsquo;s all I see whenever I pick up THE HOCKEY NEWS or any other sporting page. What is so wonderful about that guy? He is, in my opinion, greatly over-rated &hellip; With a defense of Len Kelly and Leo Reise in front of him what goalie wouldn&rsquo;t be able to look as good! McNeil, Lumley Rollins &mdash; any of them could compare with and perhaps outdo Sawchuk.Harry Lumley is a good example, a little fella who wandered away from papa Jack Adams. Lum is still a good goalie but not the same as with Detroit. Now suppose Monsieur Sawchuk were to be installed in the Chicago cage &mdash; c&rsquo;est mal &mdash; non?One more thing &mdash; about how many shots are there on Sawchuk in the course of a game! Hmnnn!Hal Warrer. Weymcuth, Mass.<h2>C&rsquo;Mon Fogey</h2>Dear Sir,Many articles have been written about the loss of Jack Stewart and Bill Gadsby by the Black Hawks through injuries. How about a few words of praise for Lee Fogolin, who has taken over the top spot on a much improved Chicago defense.Fogolin has played more than half every Black Hawks game despite a serious head cut, and very few goals have been scored while he was on the ice.He is becoming quite a favorite with, Chicago fans and the cry &ldquo;C&rsquo;Mon Fogey&rdquo; is heard many times during the games.So how about a few good words on Lee Fogolin, one of the outstanding defensemen in the league.Rosemary Wallsten. Chicago, Ill.<h2>Beliveau, Tut, Tut</h2>Dear Sir,I have just read an article in the October 20th issue of THE HOCKEY NEWS which pretty nearly made me sick. It was about Jean Beliveau. Let Jean Beliveau establish himself as a star before you boost him. He is just an amateur yet and has a long way to go before being alongside of Richard, Howe or Lindsay. Personally, I think he Is scared to turn Pro. I saw Beliveau play hundreds of times and I&rsquo;ll take Skippy Burchell over him any time.The Quebec people make me sick with their Jean Beliveau. I repeat; let him establish himself as a star in the NHL not in amateur play.H. I. Voleto. Upper Leliarls, N.B.<h2>Barbe &mdash; A Beef</h2>Dear Sir,This is my first letter to your fan forum. I&rsquo;ve been a follower of your weekly paper for quite some time and not once have I seen an article about Andy Barbe.Barbe has been playing for Pittsburgh for the past few seasons and has proven himself worthy of space in your paper.Lately, players have been given write-ups who don&rsquo;t deserve them at all.Hoping to see something about Barbe in your paper shortly.Jessie Jones. Sudbury. Ont.<h2>All-Star Mix-Up</h2>Dear Sir,According to press reports Leo Lamoureux was selected to the All-Star team for two years while playing for Montreal. If this is so the N.H.L. Record Book doesn&rsquo;t show it.Bruce Affleck. Mt. Stewart, P.E.I.(Lamoureux never made the official All-Star team during his NHL career.)<h2>Ed and Roger Fan</h2>Dear Sir,I look forward to receiving your paper very much. I especially enjoy doing the puzzle.I am writing to say that I&rsquo;d like to hear more about Roger Leger and that Eddie Dorohoy. These two led our team to the PCHL championship and playoffs. Leger was chosen on the All-Star team and chosen as the Most Valuable Player. Little and talkative Eddie Dorohoy was the PCHL scoring champion on the last day of league play.These two deserve a lot of credit and we, on the coast would like to see a write-up on them.Jeto Manhas. Victoria, B.C.<h2>Give Right Credit</h2>Dear Sir,I have been a steady reader of your paper since the first issue came off the press in October, 1947. For me it&rsquo;s tops in HOCKEY NEWS.Here&rsquo;s a beef I am going to try and get off my chest. The Fan Forum is the first thing I read when I get THE HOCKEY NEWS and there are a lot of opinions expressed about this player or that player. Why don&rsquo;t the readers give credit where credit is due?Any player in the big time has a lot of credit due him by being good enough to make the NHL, whichever team he is playing for.The Leafs are my team but I think Maurice Richard is one of the best in the League today, and Terry Sawchuk the best goalie.In the meantime the Leafs have a record which is going to be hard to break. Four Stanley Cup winners in five years.Edward &lsquo;Woodman. Toronto, Ont.<h2>We Promoted Him</h2>Dear Sir,Again I write to you to praise your wonderful paper. You don&rsquo;t know how much THE HOCKEY NEWS means when you are in hospital. I receive my copy every week and really look forward to it.I have been having my copy sent to Number One Supply Depot, Weston. Will you please have it changed to Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto.Thanks for the promotion to Sgt., but I&rsquo;m still a Cpl. Next year, maybe.Tell me, in what NHL game were the most penalties handed out?Cpl John Neeld. Toronto, Ont.(John, you stumped us. That has never been put into the record books. We do know that Jack Stewart had the most penalties in one game.He was handed six minors for Detroit Red Wings. It was in New York while he was playing against the New York Rangers on the night of February 28, 1943. Bert Hedges was the referee.) &#9632;

Johnny Michaluk, a 24-year-old winger.The Michaluks have provided quite a story in Providence, being the second brother combine to wear the Rhode Island Red spangles in the 26 year history of the club. Chief Scout Johnny Gagnon is the only one who remembers another set of brothers. As he recalls it: &ldquo;They were the Brophy Bros. Played with the Reds around 27.&rdquo;Nowadays, It&rsquo;s the Michaluks. Both Art and Johit are noted for their quietness. In fact, it is said that combined they would not say enough in one week to fill a page in an ordinary scrap book, were notes taken on each of their terse comments.The broken thumb that Art obtained on the first play of the game against Cleveland brought about some homey situations. Art, who played the entire game against the Barons with the thumb busted, had to relax his bandaged left hand for a few days. That left the housework up to Johnny, the young winger in his first year with the Reds.<h2>Johnny Determined Guy</h2>Make the beds, mop the floor, prepare the meals, wash the clothes. John Michaluk handled it well. &ldquo;Sure hope he can handle the assignments Terry Reardon gives him,&rdquo; remarked Art Michaluk as he proudly surveyed Johnny&rsquo;s accomplishments.In Providence, Art Michaluk is regarded as one of the finest defensemen ever to wear a Providence uniform and that covers plenty of territory for many a hockey player has passed through R.I. Auditorium on the way up to the National League. But Art, who hits harder than most defenders in the American League, deserves every bit of recognition be gets.Father of four children, three girls and a boy (they are home in Canmore, Alberta with Mrs. Michaluk), Art would like to see John make good. &ldquo;He really wants to be a hockey player.&rdquo; John readily backs this feeling up when he says &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve just got to be a hockey player. Art has made quite a reputation here in Providence. Its up to me to try and uphold the family name. The betting in these parts is that he will. &#9632;

Little Brother Johnny Does The Kitchen Chores When Art Injured

<div class="byline">By PETER THORNTON</div>PITTSBURGH, Pa.&mdash;A young man with a pleasant disposition and a bright future. That was the apt description for Frank &ldquo;Sully&rdquo; Sullivan, latest star defenseman of the league-leading Pittsburgh Hornets.A slightly built lad of 22, Sully looks more like a high school boy than a rugged, hustling hockey player who has undertaken one of the toughest jobs in the game.Frank, who stands 5&rsquo;10&rdquo; and weights a deceptive 173 pounds, can throw his weight around with the best of them. When the opposing forwards make a break you can watch him studying his man as he take him out to the boards, usually dumping him in the process.Although not a completely polished performer as yet, Frank has the time, patience and ability to improve, and he readily admits that the assistance received from his copartners&mdash;Pete Backor, Tim Horton and Frank Mathers&mdash;not to mention coach Clancy, has been invaluable to him.Attempting to follow in the footsteps of his famous dad, &ldquo;Pinch Hitter&rdquo; Sullivan, who played for the famed &ldquo;Varsity Grads of 28&rdquo; Frank led off his hockey career at the age of 10 in the Toronto Hockey League.Under the coaching of Tommy Anderson, now with Calgary Stampeders, Frank took over defensive chores with the Oshawa Generals when he was 19, playing alongside another Hornet teammate in Chuck Blair.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02147/1212479-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="536" height="837"><figcaption class="caption-body">FRANK SULLIVAN</figcaption></div>It was as a rearguard that Sully went to the Toronto Marlboroughs in the 1949-50 season, when the Marlboroughs won the Allan Cup with what looks like half the Hornet roster&mdash;Chuck Blair, Johnny McLellan, George Armstrong, Gordie Hannigan and Danny Lewicki, and coached by Joe Primeau, now masterminding at the Maple Leaf Camp.Last season Frank worked the blue line tor St. Michaels Monarchs, finalists in the Ontario Major Hockey Series, and finally hit pro hockey when he was sent to, the Hornets training camp just prior to the start of this season. &#9632;

May Look Like Kid, But Rookie Hornet One Tough Bouncer

PITTSBURGH &mdash; The Pittsburgh Hornets have announced that they have suspended Defenseman Leo Boivin for refusing to report back to the club. Conn Smythe, general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the club which owns Boivin&rsquo;s professional contract issued the order suspending the young rearguard.Boivin, two weeks ago jus. packed his back and went home without giving a reason for leaving the Hornets. When he and Smythe met in Toronto recently he said he wasn&rsquo;t sure he wanted to be a professional hockey player. He then went home again to think the situation over. The Leafs heard nothing from him again and he was suspended.Boivin was part of the deal between the Leafs and Boston Bruins which saw the Bruins part with Fern Flaman, Kenny Smith and Phil Maloney for Bill Ezipicki and Vic Lynn. Smythe was high on the lad after watching him at camp. He reckoned he would be with the Leafs next season. &#9632;

Wally Hergesheimer, who while playing for Cleveland Barons in 1950-51, was voted the league&rsquo;s most outstanding first-year player, was presented with the Dudley &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Garrett Memorial Trophy by League President, Maurice Podoloff, In recognition of his achievement. In addition, Wally also received a miniature silver puck as his reward for placing on the alternate all-star team last season, at rightwing. His former teammate in Cleveland and once again with him on the Rangers, Hy Buller, also came in for some honors. Buller was presented with a gold souvenir puck for his selection to the first all-star team, for which berth he received the most votes of any defenseman last season.It was a coincidence that the American League&rsquo;s rookie trophy should be named after a former New York Ranger player, Dudley &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Garrett, and was awarded to a member of today&rsquo;s Ranger squad, in the same building where Garrett formerly played. Garrett left New York to join the Canadian Navy during the last war, and was killed in action while in the service of his country.Also, during his presentation speech, Mr. Podoloff pointed out that Buller was a former New York player too, now coming back to the Gotham City. Back in the 1942-43 season, Buller was a member of the New York Rovers of the Eastern Amateur League, and after traveling around to various professional teams in the past years, returns to New York this season in the same deal which brought Hergesheimer here.The records compiled by Hergesheimer last season in American League play left little doubt midway through the year who would be awarded the title of best rookie. Young Hergy, and this Is what he is called in Cleveland where they fondly remember his older brother Phil, long an AHL star, new retired, scored 4 2 goals last season, plus 41 assists for 83 points. His goal total was the highest ever scored by a first year player, while his point total tied the record. Wally scored against every team in the circuit, and in one contest tallied four times and in eight others had a pair of markers.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-0490/1212534-1-eng-US/f0007-042.jpg" title="f0007-04" width="592" height="597"><figcaption class="caption-body">All-StarHY BULLER</figcaption></div><h2>Scored Five Playoff Winners</h2>During the post season Calder Cup playoffs, Hergesheimer kept right on with his remarkable play, and in five of the eight playoff games required by the Barons to annex their championship, Wally scored the deciding goal. His eleven for the entire series set a new all time playoff record for goal scoring. In addition to his great scoring records, Wally only spent eight minutes in the penalty box and came mighty close to also winning the award for clean sportsmanship last year too.A good many times, receiving any honors before a game has placed a &ldquo;bad game&rdquo; jinx on a player. However, Wally paid no attention to this long-time superstition after his rewards before the Ranger-Detroit encounter, as he scored two of the New York goals during the game, and was a standout all night.It seems that when a performer is as efficient and skillful as Wally is, even time-honored superstitions go by the boards. Hergesheimer, by his early season NHL play, has won over the hearts of New York hockey fans, and the talk already is starting that Wally may repeat his rookie award winnings this season in the National League. This was done once before when Detroit goaltender Terry Sawchuk won the two honors of the AHL and NHL In consecutive years. &#9632;

AHL Awards Given Hergy, Buller In Pre-Game Show

<div class="byline">By JACK HORRIGAN</div>BUFFALO, N. Y.&mdash;The colors of the Buffalo Bisons have been doing anything but flying high thus far in the American Hockey League season but both General Manager Art Chapman and Coach LeRoy (Goldy) Goldsworthy feel that there are better days ahead.In the Herd&rsquo;s first seven games, the defending champions of the AHL&rsquo;s Eastern Division have been able to garner but a single victory and a tie&mdash;both on home ice.Offensively Buffalo has averaged two goals a game&mdash;second poorest mark in the loop&mdash;while only two clubs have had more goals scored against them.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01204/1212579-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="264" height="413"><figcaption class="caption-body">Ernie Roche</figcaption></div>Neither Chapman nor Goldsworthy are blaming goalie Lou Crowdis for the poor defensive showing.&ldquo;I think Crowdis has played good goal for us so far, Chapman declared. &ldquo;But our defense has been very poor, and our forwards just aren&rsquo;t scoring.&rdquo;<h2>Negotiating For Players</h2>Chapman, who doesn&rsquo;t believe that bad situations improve themselves, showed that his &ldquo;produce or else&rdquo; edict was more than idle words by Shipping defensemen Ernie Roche to Victoria and Hugh Currie and Tight winger Lome Davis to the Vancouver Canucks of the Pacific Coast League.&ldquo;Currie will rejoin Buffalo once he gets himself In playing shape,&rdquo; Chapman explained.Last year, the 195-pound rearliner set a league record for assists by defenseman but got off to a bad start following a holdout alege this fall.Nor is the Buffalo General Manager through wielding the pruning ax. At this writing, he has negotiations underway to obtain a defenseman from the Cleveland Barons and has hopes of securing a left winger and a de-denseman from the parent Montreal Canadiens.(Ed. Note: The Bisons received Sam Lavitt from the Barons and forwards Doc Couture and Cal Mackay from Montreal on loan.)&ldquo;More players are on their way out,&rdquo; Chapman asserted. &ldquo;Goldy and I are in full agreement just where we&rsquo;re weak, and we intend to try and fill the gaps.&rdquo;The fact that Center Ab DeMarco isn&rsquo;t having a season to match his play of last year comes as no surprise.&ldquo;The Count&rdquo; can still flick the puck around in his patented fashion but the legs don&rsquo;t carry him up and down the ice at the old rate of speed.Young Billy Hagan, who was with Barrie&rsquo;s Junior champions last year, has been spelling DeMarco occasionally and will be given a thorough trial centering left winger Vern Kaiser and right winger Grant Warwick in future contests.The line of Sid McNabney-Dor Ashbee-Les Hickey has both Chapman and Goldsworthy baffled.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02151/1212572-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="560" height="1505"><figcaption class="caption-body">Goes WestHUGH CURRIE</figcaption></div>&ldquo;We knew that DeMarco coulc not be counted upon to produce the way he did last year because of his age,&rdquo; Goldsworthy commented. &ldquo;I figured that the Mc-Nabney line would-take up the slack, though. Those three were the talk of the league from Christmas time on last season. But so far they&rsquo;ve accomplished nothing out on the ice.&rdquo;It isn&rsquo;t likely, however, that Goldsworthy will break up the combination until he&rsquo;s convinced that it will not regain its former effectiveness.Buffalo&rsquo;s third line also has shown little in the way of scoring. Centered by Gordie Pennell, at times, it has had veteran George (Gabby) Pargeter and Eddie Mazer on left wing and Walt Atanas and the departed Davis on the right side.&ldquo;Once again we have a case of players failing to live up to expectations,&rdquo; Chapman injected. &ldquo;Mazer looked so good in training with Montreal the Canadiens hated to send him down. So far he hasn&rsquo;t scored a goal for us.&ldquo;Pennell has yet to hit his stride and Atanas will have to battle it out with Billy Richardson when he recovers from the broken jaw he suffered in training.&rdquo;&ldquo;Long is our best defenseman right now,&rdquo; Chapman declared. &ldquo;Teamed with Harry Dick, who is just rounding into shape, I think we have a pretty good pair.&ldquo;Bloom has been making mistakes but he&rsquo;s improving and I like the way he takes a fellow into the boards. Also handles the puck fairly well.&ldquo;But as I said before, no one is sure of his job&mdash;until we get moving.&rdquo; &#9632;

Weak Defense, Not Crowdis, To Blame For Herd’s Losses

<div class="byline">By AL BLOEMKER</div>INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.&mdash;A 20-year-old youngster, who became a goalie because no one else on his &ldquo;pee wee&rdquo; team would take the job, rapidly is gaining recognition as one of the outstanding rookies in the American Hockey League this season.He is Glen Hall of the Indianapolis Caps; and he already is showing the same signs of greatness which carried such former Indianapolis net-minders as Harry Lumley and Terry Sawchuk to National League stardom.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03115/1212617-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="272" height="431"><figcaption class="caption-body">Ott Heller</figcaption></div>Hall started playing &ldquo;pee wee&rdquo; hockey at his home in Humboldt, Sask., as a forward. When he became captain, however, the team was without a capable goalie. Because no one else wanted the job, he moved into the nets and he has been kicking away opponents&rsquo; shots ever since.<h2>Spitfire For Two Years</h2>He attracted the attention of Detroit scouts while playing Junior hockey at Humboldt and then served two years with the Windsor Spitfires in preparation for his professional debut with Indianapolis this season.Although he&rsquo;s never had a serious injury, Hall&rsquo;s face already carries the marks of more stitches than many veterans acquire during their entire career. Twice during the last two years his right cheek has been torn open by an opponent&rsquo;s skate. Both eyebrows have been gashed by flying pucks. But he never flinches from the task of diving into the midst of flashing skates and swinging sticks to smother a shot.Unlike some rookies, Hall hasn&rsquo;t shown the slightest sign of being awed by his jump from amateur to professional ranks. His record with the Caps compares very favorably with the 3.09 average he compiled in the nets with Windsor last season. Exact figures for his first 10 games as a pro show he has permitted a total of 33 goals for an average of 3.30.He has handled the spectacular &ldquo;breakaway&rdquo; solo dashes exceptionally well and invariably looks good on the difficult chances. He is somewhat concerned, however, by the few &ldquo;cheap&rdquo; goals he has allowed In early games. Hall&rsquo;s definition of a cheap goal is a successful shot which he has not anticipated. He believes his occasional failures of this kind are due primarily because he has not yet adjusted himself to the improved shot-making in the American League as compared to Junior competition.&ldquo;In this league,&rdquo; Hall explained, &ldquo;the forwards often shoot from almost impossible angles. They try shots which few junior players ever attempt and I&rsquo;ve been caught out of position in this manner because I expected them to pass instead of shoot.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-0483/1212610-1-eng-US/f0008-042.jpg" title="f0008-04" width="536" height="553"><figcaption class="caption-body">Natural AbilityGLEN HALL</figcaption></div>&ldquo;Actually, it seems to me that there is much more shooting in amateur hockey than in professional hockey,&rdquo; Hall continued. &ldquo;Better defensive play reduces the number of the scoring opportunities in pro grames, but the pros make up for this condition by connecting on a higher percentage of their shots.&rdquo;Ott Heller, Indianapolis Coach, Is confident Hall will develop into a star. &ldquo;He has just as much, natural ability as Sawchuk displayed when Terry broke into professional hockey five years ago, says the boss of the Caps, &ldquo;And he is showing steady improvement.&rdquo; Sawchuk allowed an average of 3.22 goals a game during his first year as a pro at Omaha and 3.06 goals a game as an Indianapolis freshman the following season to win the &ldquo;rookie of the year&rdquo; award in each circuit before advancing to Detroit last season. &#9632;

<div class="byline">By RON COOK</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-01189/1212686-1-eng-US/f0009-012.jpg" title="f0009-01" width="300" height="457"><figcaption class="caption-body">Ike Hildebrand</figcaption></div>CLEVELAND, O.&mdash;The American Hockey League and Calder Cup Champion Barons of last season got off to one of their worst starts in history this season when they dropped their first three games. To say that the Barons opening performances were somewhat surprising to both their own fans and the opposition would probably be the understatement of the young 1951-52 season. One fellow who was not surprised however was Coach &ldquo;Bun&rdquo; Cook. Cook, starting his ninth season at the Barons helm, said in training camp that his club had the potential but that he needed a month or so to fit nine new faces into his scheme of tilings. Right now the Barons are making Cook look like a champion in the prognostication league having won four of their last five starts and tied the other.The Barons started to come In Cleveland a week after the season opened when they stopped the Indianapolis Capitols 5-2. The next night in Indianapolis they played the Caps to a 2-2 tie, a game the Clevelanders should have won, and then they returned home to defeat the Buffalo Bisons 5-3. On Saturday night, October the 27th, they completely outplayed the Providence Reds, thumping them 8-4 and then they moved over to Buffalo on Sunday to defeat the Bisons for the second straight time, this time by a 4-2 count.<h2>Wochy Stars</h2>Most prominent in the Barons recent upsurge has been the veteran Steve Wochy, who has sniped nine goals in eight games in addition to assisting in three others. Wochy is now tied for top pointmaking honours in the Podoloff loop with Migay of Pittsburgh, and Lundy and Hamilton of St. Louis. Wochy&rsquo;s most prolific scoring outburst to date was against Providence in Cleveland when he scored four goals and assisted in another.Rating a great big assist alongside Wochy for the Barons, recent rush up the ladder is rookie Ike Hildebrand who last year led the now defunct United States Hockey League in goal scoring with 42. Hildebrand is fast taking the sting out of the sale of Wally Hergesheimer to the New York Rangers. The &ldquo;Mighty Mite&rdquo; or &ldquo;Ike the Tyke&rdquo; as some prefer to call him, has blinked the red light seven times in the seven games in which he has played and has garnered one assist for eight points. In addition he&rsquo;s shown that the big boys of the loop will not be permitted any liberties with his willingness to mix it with any and all comers.Of course the Barons improvement hasn&rsquo;t all be on the offensive end. Johnny Bower, whom Clevelanders and many others rate as the finest netminder in the AHL, has been steady all the way and at times in the first three games was the difference between the Barons being simply defeated or blasted right out of the rink.Bobby Chrystal, another of genial Jim Hendy&rsquo;s candidates for the rookie of the year, has been outstanding despite his lack of experience.Another pleasant surprise for Coach Bun Cook has been the play of his veteran centre anc Captain, Fred Thurier. &ldquo;The Fox&rdquo; as most know him, has had more than a little bit to do with the play of young Hildebrand so far, and once his left winger, Paul Gladu starts finding the net again the line bids to be one of the highest scoring trios in the AHL.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-02169/1212679-1-eng-US/f0009-022.jpg" title="f0009-02" width="516" height="537"><figcaption class="caption-body">Light FlickerSTEVE WOCHY</figcaption></div>And how do the guys who run the club feel about the Barons about face? Well both General Manager Jim Hendy and Coach Bun Cook are pleased, but according to both the Barons are still a better club than they&rsquo;ve shown to date. It&rsquo;s a funny thing, says coach Cook &ldquo;but when we were assembling our club in training camp I looked for our early strength to come from the left side where we have Paul Gladu, Fern Perrault, Kenny Schultz and Ray Ceresino. Then Schultz got hurt and missed the first five games, Gladu and Perrault while playing well couldn&rsquo;t find the net and Ray Ceresino just simply hasn&rsquo;t been able to get started. Now I&rsquo;m wondering what will happen when those boys start to click and our new man, Joe Carveth, gets Into real shape.&rdquo; &#9632;

The Hersheyites were leading the pack in the Eastern section by a five-point margin, after disposing of Ott Heller&rsquo;s Indianapolis Caps for the second I time on Saturday, November 3. Terry Reardon&rsquo;s Providence Reds, with six points to Hershey&rsquo;s eleven, were in the runner-up slot.The rampaging Bears, who dropped their first two league battles before breaking in to the win column, came up with five wins, a tie and a defeat in their next seven outings to put them well ahead of their Eastern rivals. At this writing the Bears own a pair of victories over Indianapolis and single wins over Providence, Syracuse and Cincinnati. St. Louis has trounced the Bears twice, once by a 5-0 score, and Pittsburgh, the Western Division pace-setter, nosed them out, 2-1.Arnie Kullman and his line mates, Sam Bettio and Jerry Toppazzini, who set a hot offensive pace during the first five encounters, cooled off after the Bears came home from their first successful invasion of the West, but Dave Creighton, finding himself at his new post of center ice man, began to click with his rookie wingers, Real Chevrefils and Leo Labine. This line, whose average age is 20, is helping Hershey fans forget the absence of last season&rsquo;s popular &ldquo;Kid&rdquo; trio, which was broken up when the Boston Bruins took George &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Sullivan and Jack McIntyre to the big show.<h2>Crawford Say Creighton Will Be Big League Star Someday</h2>Coach Crawford is particularly pleased with the way Creighton has taken to his new post. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always been high on Dave. He&rsquo;s big and fast and he&rsquo;s a smart play maker. His work of setting up goals for Chevrefils and Labine has been strictly big league.&rdquo; Although he is beginning his fourth season in professional hockey, Creighton is only 21, and, according to Crawford, &ldquo;has the makings of a great NHL star.&rdquo;Dave broke into the pro game with Hershey in 1948-49 as a left winger after a whirl-wind career in junior hockey with the Port Arthur Bruins. During his initial campaign with the Bears he appeared in 49 games, collecting 19 goals and 18 assists for a total of 37 points. The following season he wore Boston livery, playing in 64 games and scoring 18 goals and 13 assists. Last year, except for eleven games he played with the Bears, he was a member of the Bruins. However, his point production fell off considerably. He gathered but five goals and four assists in 56 games.While Kullman continues to set the scoring pace for Hershey in goals scored, with eight, he is tied in total points by Chevrefils, each having ten. &ldquo;Chevy&rdquo; has five goals and an equal number of assists. Creighton, too, has pushed his way toward the top of the individual scoring heap. He has collected four goals and five assists for a total of nine points, putting him in a tie with Toppazzini for second place.Crawford has his fingers crossed, but the Bears have so far escaped any serious Injuries. Except for Obie O&rsquo;Brien, left winger of the No. 1 line, who suffered an arm injury which kept him out of a couple of games, the club has weathered the first nine games in good shape. Norm Corcoran winger of last year&rsquo;s &ldquo;Kid&rdquo; line, spelled O&rsquo;Brien while he was recovering.During his absence from the Hershey lineup, O&rsquo;Brien was called upon to do a refereeing chore when &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Storey&rsquo;s arrival was delayed by bad flying weather. Obie, while doing a good job, found himself in the center of one of the roughest first periods in the history of Hershey hockey. While handling the game with Indianapolis on Saturday, November 3, a free-for-all broke out after Lloyd Durham, Cap defenseman, allegedly &ldquo;speared&rdquo; Leo Labine, Hershey wing. Hershey&rsquo;s Ray Gariepy attempted to act as peacemaker and the melee soon spread to both benches. O&rsquo;Brien, with the help of a policeman, cleared the ice, and banished Durham with a match penalty. Storey arrived in time to take over mid way in the second period and the game proceeded without further incident. &#9632;

At time of coaxing this from the typewriter, coach Frank Currie&rsquo;s success-minded young men had reeled off seven games in a line, without the embarassment of a single defeat.Bill Cook&rsquo;s previously fast-travelling Saskatoon Quakers salvaged a 3-3 tie with the local pucksters at the Edmonton Gardens, the night of Oct. 30.Otherwise the Flyers, once straightened away couldn&rsquo;t lose for winning, following a for winning, following a slow start that saw them drop two of their first three games as the PCHL race opened.Rationed to three goals in their first three outings, the Currie-men suddenly found the key to the powerhouse. They&rsquo;ve been steaming along at a great clip since.<h2>Quakers Feel Brunt</h2>Feeling the brunt of the suddenly alerted Flyers&rsquo; wrath have been the aforementioned Saskatoon Quakers. William Osser Cook&rsquo;s men had tamed the Edmonton squac the first time the teams tangled followed this by eking out that 3-3 draw, mentioned up there piece.Then the roof fell in on the Quakers and a lot of the sheer came off their fine early-seasor record (including three wins ant a tie on a road trip to the Pacifit Coast) as the Flyers clean bowlet them three times running.Scores were 5-3, 6-4 and 2-1.That 5-3 game, played in Saskatoon, turned into a brawl of such proportions that League President Al Leader quickly desertec his Seattle league offices and headed off to the Prairies, to restore law and order.The hard-pressed officials had dished out 24 penalties in all, in eluding a game misconduct to Flyer defenseman Pat Coburn The fiery Irishman tangled witl Quakers George Senick and Bill Heindl, in turn. When he continued his battle with Heindl in the penalty box the game misconduct was handed him;Cobura became incensed when twice cut around the mouth by sticks in the hands of opponents Later four stitches &mdash; two on either side &mdash; were taken to patcl up his mouth. An &lsquo;inside job&rsquo; wa required.That&rsquo;s when League President Leader entered the picture. As the Flyers and Quakers tangled in Edmonton a couple of nights later, the No. 1 executive was prominently seated in one of the pews.Referees Ed Powers and &lsquo;Hank&rsquo; Wilson, obviously under orders, ruled with a stern hand. The game proved a tea-party, alongside the Battle of Saskatoon.Likewise, when the struggle was again joined in the Saskatchewan centre the very next night, Flyers edged the Quakers 2-1. Hank Backor netted both Edmonton counters in a game that saw the teams tending to their knitting.Fact that more than 4,000 turned up for the offering proved reassuring to the men behind the Quaker promotion.Perhaps it&rsquo;s too soon to be hepped about the Edmonton club. They&rsquo;ve done all their winning &mdash; and losing, too &mdash; on the Prairies, the schedule not requiring that they head over the mountains, until later in the month. &#9632;

Flyers Finally Find Range And Take It Out On Quakers

<div class="byline">By CHARLIE HALPIN</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-03142/1212824-1-eng-US/f0010-032.jpg" title="f0010-03" width="260" height="413"><figcaption class="caption-body">Art Rose</figcaption></div>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Winning hockey games at home is one thing, but taking the other fellow in his rink lends considerable prestige to the victory. Doing it the hard way, Montreal Royals, who rate as the &ldquo;team of the week&rdquo; in the Quebec Senior Hockey League, discounted reports that they were &ldquo;homers&rdquo; by defeating the league-leading Valleyfield Braves 2-0 on November 7 right in Valleyfield, where the champions of the Major Series are virtually unbeatable.It was a big week for the rejuvenated Royals. They racked up three wins in as many starts, two over Valleyfield and one against Quebec Aces, to move to within one point of the Brayes and Chicoutimi Saguenays, who were deadlocked for first position. Both teams played more games than the Royals.Frank Carlin&rsquo;s club scored one of their most thrilling victories Sunday, November 4 when they edged Valleyfield 6-4 in overtime before 14,380 fans, which set a new attendance record for both the league and senior hockey at the Forum. The old mark was 13,241, chalked up by the Royals and Quebec Aces on Nov. 18, 1945.Montreal showed its sensational overtime win over the Braves was no fluke by shutting out Toe Blake&rsquo;s champions 2-0 three nights later in Valleyfield. Gerry Desaulniers and Rookie Dickie Moore were the big scorers for the Royals. Goalie Jacques Plante registered his first shutout of the campaign and only his second in three years with the Royals.Art Rose, the dynamo winger from Fort William and veteran Gerry Plamondon were the payoff men in the Forum victory over the Braves. The Royals trailed their foes 4-2 with less uian 10. minutes to play in the third period before catching fire. Lulu Denis and Dollard St. Laurent scored in a space of 35 seconds to force the game into overtime. Rose sank the winner and Plamondon added the insurance goal to delight the record house, which included 2,500 fans from Valleyfield.<h2>Barber Poles Twirling</h2>Ottawa Senators were close in pursuit of the Royals for team honors for the week. Bill Durnan&rsquo;s Barber Poles showed a complete reversal of form in the seven-day period to sweep a home-and-home week-end series from the lowly Shawinigan Cataracts before losing to Chicoutime and then edging Quebec Aces 2-1 November 7 in Quebec. It gave the Senators a 3-1 record and boosted them back into fourth place is the standing, close on the heels of the leaders.In the individual scoring and goalkeeping races, big Jack Irvine, the versatile Valleyfield Brave who doubles on the defense and forward line, maintained his first-place margin in the pointgetting race with 19 points. Valleyfield players dominated the top position with Irvine first, Larry Kwong, a linemate of Irvine&rsquo;s second with, 17 and Andre Corriveau tied for fourth. &#9632;

Hemmerling was going to quit as Seattle pilot before Seattle owner Frank Dotten talked him out of it.As for Dotten, he said he&rsquo;s getting caught in the wallet. Patrick, said Dotten, sent him a bill for a new suit. Seems Patrick ripped one of the sleeves out of his coat, when he swung at Dotten&rsquo;s man Hemmerling.Patrick is a former Canadian amateur heavyweight boxing champ. &#9632;

SYDNEY, N.S. &mdash; Twenty-one-year-old Cliff Hicks who did the goal work for Guelph Biltmores in the Ontario junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; set-up last season was the player of the week as far as the Maritime Big Six was concerned last week. Cliff appeared in three games and the total goal output against him was one.In Sydney, on Monday night, he blanked the champion Sydney Millionaires 2-0. Two nights later in Charlottetown he handed Leo Lamoureux&rsquo;s Islanders a 3-0 setback. In Glace Bay. Saturday night, against Wilf Field&rsquo;s Halifax St. Mary&rsquo;s he posted a 5-1 win. The only goal was by Gordie Pearson at 17.30 of the first period&mdash;in all Cliff had 137 minutes, 30 seconds of scoreless hockey. Quite a feat for a major &ldquo;A&rdquo; netminder who was starting in major competition. &#9632;

Old Hatter Star In East

<div class="byline">By ACE FOLEY</div>HALIFAX, N. S.&mdash;Here are the headlines from the Maritime major hockey front: Saint John Beavers race spectacularly through Big Six schedule. Sydney and Charlottetown giants awake after long slumber. Halifax drops deeper in standing. New referees are on the way to help those tottering from fatigue. Overtime deleted. New icing-the-puck rule dis-Banded.The Beavers continue to be the talk of the east. Recruited and coached by John (Peanuts) O&rsquo;Flaherty, the Sister City pucksters have marked up 21 out of a postible 24 points on 10 victories and a tie as against only one loss.The team that O&rsquo;Flaherty coached Into the Alexander Cup finals last winter has been augmented by other starry players picked up along the way. It has ahown amazing poise and drive, as potent on the road as at home, as powerful the third straight night as when it starts a fresh new week.Millionaires and Islanders, who turned the Maritime finals into a flaming front last spring, have finally come to life. The Islanders lost their seven games before they could reach the victory bedger. Then they reeled off four wins and a tie to rise from the cellar.<h2>Out Of Doldrums</h2>The Moneymen floundered, too, although not as badly as Islanders. But now they seem to have picked up momentum, are once again one if the highly regarded ice machines in this sector.Halifax St. Mary&rsquo;s have written off their pre-season training camp as an expensive failure. Many of the originals drilled at Montreal have returned home. New recruits are on the way in. More are on the way. The team is mired in the league cellar, with one Victory in two weeks after winning three out of four the first week.Glace Bay Miners, who started briskly and delighted the title-atarved fans in Canada&rsquo;s biggest town, have apparently run out of gas. They have a so-so record now, whereas it was sparkling after the first two weeks.Johnny Horeck&rsquo;s Moncton Hawks are a vast improvement over last year&rsquo;s Big Four cellar dwellers but they can still stand Improvement. New players are on the way in and Horeck has hopes of making his first season as a coach a winning one.League leaders held a special&mdash;meeting to discuss items that had come up for settlement. Out of this star chamber came the decision to junk the 10-minute overtime session, and to return to the old method of firing the pack into the other fellow&rsquo;s zone and chasing it in. You can write down the new rule as a failure. Maybe they didn&rsquo;t stick with it long enough.Maybe the fans weren&rsquo;t content to look back at an old rule that favored defensive hockey.Deleting the overtime session put the officials In a spot with the fans. The spectators liked the extra session. It was deleted for a while in Big Four play a year ago, then was returned as the fans howled. This season only one out of five games that went into overtime reached a decision. In the other four there were 70minute stalemates.Referees Hugh McLean, Johnny Hefferin, Jimmy Goode and Hugh Gillis are fagged after three weeks and 18 games apiece. They work every night but Sunday. That&rsquo;s bad enough. But the travelling is wearing them down to the nub.. McLean sat out two games with an ankle injury, Wally Barteaux was brought in for one game to assist Gillis, and the latter handled one game alone.There is still a big fuss going over players Gray and Bonhomme. They played with Glace Bay last season. The Bay said it wouldn&rsquo;t start in the new league, so the Charlottetown Islanders signed the players, dropping others to make room. Then Glace Bay came in, promptly claimed the players.The Maritime Amateur Hockey Association ruled in favor of Glace Bay. The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association concurred. Then Gray and Bonhomme made personal applications to the CAHA. Came a reversal; Gray and Bonhomme were awarded to Charlottetown. Came a howl from Glace Bay. Now the Bay talks of taking the case to the courts.Crowds are up in most places, where the teams have shown a marked improvement over last year. But in Halifax the crowds are sagging with the team.Wilf Field has done pretty well with what he has, but he needs many new players. Relief is promised from Art Chapman in Buffalo. Meanwhile the crowds are thinning. &#9632;

Ont.&mdash;Those stories out of Quebec conceding the Memorial Cup to Montreal Canadiens are being viewed with mixed sentiments in Ontario, particularly in the Ontario Hockey Association&rsquo;s Junir &ldquo;A&rdquo; circuit.Ontario hockey entrepreneurs are inclined to view reports of Quebec&rsquo;s superiority with extreme scepticism. They concede that Canadiens are a fair hockey team but they aren&rsquo;t staying awake nights worrying about it.Up thisaway they remember the eastern Canada junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; final last spring. Quebec Citadelles entered that turbulent series accompanied by one of the loudest publicity fanfares in years.Jean Beliveau and his mates, the tub-thumpers proclaimed, would waltz to the Memorial Cup. Barrie Flyers, winners of the OHA, might be a little stubborn but how could they hope to stop Beliveau and Co?It is scarcely necessary to record that the upstart Flyers did stop Beliveau and the Citadelles much to the indignation of Frank Byrne, owner of the Quebec club, and a multitude of shocked Quebec fans. Barrie then proceeded west to win the Memorial Cup.Ontario hockey fans were amazed not so much by the Barrie victory as they were by the commonplace showing of the Quebec team. If there were any supermen in the lineup, as advertised, they were rendered quite ordinary by the energetic Flyers.Canadiens, as OHA observers point out, are being given the same high-pressure build-up this year. And while admitting that the Montrealers are a strong hockey club few OHA coaches consider the young Habs to be any better than two or three teams in the Ontario Association.For instance Roy Mason, manager of Guelph Biltmores. predicts confidently that the team to beat in the east is not Canadiens but Biltmores. Naturally Mason might be a trifle biased but he has a few sound arguments to bolster his stand.Canadiens toured Ontario a few weeks back for an exhibition series. They dropped but one game on that tour and that was in Guelph to the Biltmores. The score was 6-4.Sammy Pollock, Canadiens&rsquo; coach, said after that game, &ldquo;well, we&rsquo;ll see you again in the playoffs in the spring.&rdquo; Pollock admitted that Biltmores were the best club he had seen in Ontario.Biltmores played two pre-season games in Quebec and won without too much trouble. In Grandmere they downed Thhrce Rivers, of the Quebec J.A.H.A., 7-5 and followed that up by trouncing Phil Watson&rsquo;s Citadelles 82 in Quebec City. Bilt mores played six exhibition games, winning all six.With the OHA junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; schedule three weeks old Bilt-mores were leading the 10-team loop with Toronto Marlboros a close second. In their first 10 games Biltmores won seven, tied two and dropped one. They scored 64 goals in their first 10 games. Four of their players were leading the league in the individual scoring race.<h2>Pike Waxes Confident</h2>Alf Pike, Biltmore&rsquo;s coach, figures his team has a good chance to win the Memorial Cup this season. A cautious gent when it comes to making a prediction Pike won&rsquo;t go out on a limb but when he looks around at the opposition he feels that the Hatters have an excellent chance.Pike isn&rsquo;t too satisfied with the defensive strength of his club but he hopes to correct that before long. Some observers contend that Biltmores are weak in goal. Recently Hap Emms, Barrie Flyers&rsquo; volatile coach, declared. &ldquo;Biltmores can take it all with a good goalie and don&rsquo;t be surprised if I deal them Lorne Howes before the December 15 deadline.Howes, with the Memorial Cup champs last season, is considered by many to be the best goalie in junior hockey. Emms has a capable substitute in Marv Brewer, up from his junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; club.Pike admits that he would like to have Howes (what coach wouldn&rsquo;t?) but he isn&rsquo;t sure that goal-tending is his principal problem. Doug Lessor, a 16-year-old from South Porcupine and Terry Hagen, Port Dover, have beeen showing steady improvement and Pike is banking on them to make good.&ldquo;I think our goaltending will be improved 100 per cent by Christmas,&rdquo; Pike observed recently. But don&rsquo;t bet that the Guelph club won&rsquo;t try to make a deal with Emms for Howes.Up front Biltmores have the best collection of sharpshooters in the league, The Ken Laufman, Chuck Henderson, Ron Murphy line is running one-two-three in the scoring race with their nearest pursuer far behind, They formed the highest-scoring line in the circuit last season. This trio alone accounted for more points than the entire Guelph team of the season before.Laufman, who finished third in scoring last season with 113 points, 42 goals and 71 assists, was ahead in the scoring race after 10 games. He had 30 point seven goals and 23 assists.His linemates, Murphy and Henderson, were second and third respectively with 27 (15-12) and 21 (11-10) points.Andy Bathgate, rated by many coaches as the best all-round player in the O.H.A., was up with the scoring leaders after 10 games with 20 points, seven goals and 13 assists. Bathgate is in his third year with Guelph.Bathgate is the handy man of the Guelph team. Besides being one of the best stick-handlers in the league he is also an excellent defensive performer. When Biltmores are short-handed he is usually given the chore of holding the fort.Bathgate would probably score a great more goals if it weren&rsquo;t for his penalty-killing chores at the fact that he is the team&rsquo;s No. 1 trouble-shooter. Pike employs him on several different lines but so far it hasn&rsquo;t cramped Andy&rsquo;s style.A Winnipeg native, Bathgate has another year to go in junior hockey. Frank Boucher, general manager of New York Rangers, calls him one of the brightest prospects in the New York chain.<h2>Bathie Impresses</h2>Bathgate&rsquo;s ability to cut loose with a scorching shot from any angle has impressed more than one coach. Red Hamill, coach of the Galt Black Hawks, commented recently, &ldquo;That guy (Bathgate) gets his shot away faster than Max Bentley.&rdquo;Other experienced forward with Biltmores include Dean Prentice, another South Porcupine product and Aldo Guidolin, a Guelph boy. Guidolin, a tireless skater, has been with the team three seasons while Prentice is a sophomore.Newcomers include Billy McCreary, Bill Chalmers, Ray Rose and Frank Bettiol. Ross, a Hamilton boy, played junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; with the defunct. Stratford club for two seasons but the other three are just breaking in.McCreary, strong-skating youngster from South River, Ontario, looks like one of the best prospects to break into the loop in years. He has five years left in junior hockey and already he&rsquo; showing signs of stardom.On defense Biltmores have veterans Harry Howell, Lou Fonlnato and Danny Blair plus new comer Ken Unfac. The first three have been with the club for two seasons. &#9632;

He split them, gaining two goals and the same unmber of assists. But, even if he hadn&rsquo;t been the big gun in their scoring attack his outstanding play would have warrented our choice.Flanked by Rookie Dick Gamble, on lef wing and Floyd Curry on right this line has become the Canadiens most potenttrio. With Mosdell leading the attack both Gamble and Curry have begun to find the range and both look like they will have outstanding years.Mosdell, who has had to bathe in the left over sunshine of such briliant centers as Elmer Lach and Buddy O&rsquo;Connor in the past is now showing that he cart hold his own with the best of them. His rough tough style of play has injected the old derise into Curry and Gamble and now the Habs have, what looks like, a line that can score goals with equal potency from the left, right or center spots. But even more important this line can check and stave off powerplays with the best in the League. Mosdell has been used to kill of penalties as well as take his regular turn on the line. He has been outstanding in both jobs.Kenny broke in to the NHL with the old Brooklyn Americans who were led by the ever colorful Red Dutton. He Is one of three players currently in the League who performed with the club. The other two are Rayner and Harry Watson.Mosdell broke Into the NHL in 1942-43 and after playing 41 games and netting seven goals and nine assists for 16 points.

Player - of - the - week

<div class="byline">By DICK STEDMAN</div>SPRINGFIELD, Mass.&mdash;Before the season started, the big question among Springfield hockey fans was &ldquo;How will Eddie Shore&rsquo;s brand new Indians fare in the Eastern Hockey League?&rdquo; Today, the question of the league&rsquo;s seven other clubs is &ldquo;Who is going to stop the Indians?&rdquo;In the first eight nights, Coach Bobby Dill&rsquo;s hustling charges leaped to a commanding lead in the northern division with five straight victories&mdash;two at the expense of Ducky Skinner&rsquo;s New Haven Tomahawks, and singles over Philadelphia, Washington, and New York. And not only are the Injuns undefeated, but they boast the five top scorers after the first go-round.The happiest surprise among the newcomers has been young Vern Pachal, the Yorkton, Saskatchewan youngster who didn&rsquo;t take long to pile up 10 goals to his credit. Vern has gone &ldquo;hat trick&rdquo; crazy. After being shutout in the opener with Max Kaminsky&rsquo;s Philadelphia Falcons, Vern caught fire for three hat tricks in his next four outings.Starting with Washington, Pachal virtually tore Springfield&rsquo;s opponents apart alone. New Haven was Vern&rsquo;s second victim on the following night, but Hawk goalie Roger Duguer held him to just one counter in the second half of a consecutive night home and home series.<h2>Riding His Broomstick</h2>Pachal kept the blistering pace alive on Hallowe&rsquo;en night with three more against Lloyd Ailsby&rsquo;s New York Rovers, to bring his four game total to double figures. In addition the star winger has racked up four assists for a league leading total of 14 points.Irwin Petrovitch, another popular hustling right winger with the Tribe, has seven assists to rank among the league&rsquo;s best.Perhaps one of the strongest reasons the Indians are at the top of the heap in the early stages of the race is the fact that they have proved they can come back.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01223/1213170-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg" title="f0014-01" width="586" height="589"><figcaption class="caption-body">Stingy!JIMMY STRACHAN</figcaption></div>Against Philadelphia in the opener, the Tribe scored quickly to stay in command, but at Washington, the Lions proved a much tougher puzzle for the locals. With just 10 minutes to go in the game, Indians trailed 4-2 and seemed doomed to defeat. Bill Jones made it 4-3 on a nifty play, and then rookie Pachal scored his second and third goals of the evening to give the men of Bob Dill a sensational 5-4 win. Again at New Haven two nights later, the Tribe had to do some furious last minute scrambling to escape with a 7-5 win.Among the many fans who watched Springfield in the first week of play was Owner Eddie Shore. The former Boston Bruins ace, and one of hockey&rsquo;s immortals, was well pleased with what he saw, too. Shore singled out several of the Indians for particular praise, and has predicted a great future for most of his fighting youngsters.Among defensive standouts so far are Bashin&rsquo; Bob Taylor and Don Perry, a couple of rugged rearguards who have teamed with Ed Thurland and Coach Dill to give the Indians a standout defense. Perry, a former Boston Olympic star, has made a big hit by the way he tosses his weight around at the blueline.Taylor, one of the shining stars in the OHA with St. Catharines last season, has been brilliant too. One-of the best skaters on the team, Bob has won a large following for his spirited defensive work and solo dashes.Back of this pair, in the nets is little Jimmy Strachan &mdash; a former spare Springfield netminder in the American loop &mdash; and a great little goalie. Strachan&rsquo;s net-minding has kept the Indians where they are &hellip; on top! Little Jimmy has won the confidence of his teammates and the fans alike with his agile saves and &ldquo;holler guy&rdquo; spirit. &#9632;

Springfield Scalping EHL Palefaces On Keen Goaling, Deadeye Sniping

<div class="byline">By HERB RALBY</div>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;After the first full week of play Springfield and Johnstown led the eastern and western divisions respectively in the Eastern Hockey League. Springfield reeled off five straight victories in as many games to take command in the eastern group. They had a four point lead over Boston Olympics, unbeaten and untied in three starts.Key man in the success of the Indians, making their debut in EHL competition this season, was 20-year-old Vern Pachal who played with Crow&rsquo;s Nest Pass juniors in Western Canada last winter. The clever young center turned in three &ldquo;hat tricks&rdquo; in five games.Stars in the three &lsquo;Pic victories were goalie Don &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Campbell, former St. Catharines Tee Pees star, Ken Green and Buzzy Yanchuk. Campbell registered the league&rsquo;s first shutout in blanking Philadelphia Falcons, 2-0 at the Boston Arena in the &lsquo;Pics home opener. Green, who played for the Galt Black Hawks two years ago, scored the big goal in that victory.<h2>New Haven No. Three</h2>New Haven, another of the new entries, finished the opening week in third place in the eastern sector with a pair of wins in five games. Their most impressive triumph was a 6-4 decision over Johnstown which knocked the Jets out of the undefeated class. Big guns for New Haven were Al O&rsquo;Hearn, Russ Aikins and Mark Babineau.New York Rovers pulled up in the rear of the eastern group although player-coach Lloyd Ails-by potentially has one of the strongest teams in the league. The Red Shirts pilot has a large squad and when he finally settles on the right combinations, the New Yorkers will be rough.Johnstown, defending champs, pounded out three wins to lead the western side.Atlantic City Sea Gulls, winners of the playoffs last year, had only an even break in the first two tilts to hold second place. Washington and Philadelphia, the other two new clubs, lost four straight. &#9632;

AMERICAN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By NICK ROCHE</div>The 1951-52 season of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League opened here in Prince Albert with the defending champion P. A. Mintos edging Humboldt Indians 4-3. Two nights later the Indians again lost a toughie to the Saskatoon Wesleys, 3-2. These two opening games lead us to look for a tough, close league here this winter, with all clubs stronger than before.Scotty Munroe of the more colourful and successful coaches in the Western Canada Junior League last year, is handling the Humboldt crew this season. Scotty led last year&rsquo;s Crow&rsquo;s Nest Pass Lions against the Lethbridge Native Sons and defeated them, and then came within an ace of taking the Regina Pats in the finals.Some of the Western Canada Junior coaches this year have got the idea that Scotty might be sorry he ever changed leagues. Well you can take it from the short, chubby guy himself, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m happy where I am and we&rsquo;ve got hockey here just as good as the Western Canada Junior League any day&rdquo;.<h2>Has Mintos Fighting</h2>No newcomer to the Saskatchewan Junior League is a guy who made a terrific entrance last year when he led the Prince Albert Mintos through the SJHL playoffs with six straight wins. That of course was Jimmy Wilson, who this past spring signed a two year contract with the Minto Hockey Club. Last year Jimmy instilled into his players that desire to get out there and fight and play hockey.The P. A. kids only three minutes away from the biggest upset in Junior Hockey for sometime, as they led the Regina Pats by one goal In the 5th game of the best of 5 series. Then the boys just couldn&rsquo;t stand the pressure any longer, and the Pats wound up on top.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-01195/1213361-1-eng-US/f0016-012.jpg" title="f0016-01" width="532" height="795"><figcaption class="caption-body">Humboldt HandlerSCOTTY MUNRO</figcaption></div>Alex Shibicky, an old pal of most hockey fans, begins his third term at the helm of the Flin Flon Junior Bombers. Last year, the Bombers wound up on top at the end of the regular schedule, took a best of three semi-final series from Humbolt but then fell three straight to the Mintos.This could be the ex-New York Rangers star&rsquo;s turn to come up with a winner.Deed Klein last year slipped the Saskatoon Wesleys into third place in the final standings and is back again this season to see if he can climb a little higher. Deed deserves credit for the good showing he made last year when he had a lot of Juvenile hockey players under his wing. &#9632;

They are Moose Jaw Millers, Yorkton Legionaires, Melville Millionaires and a still unnamed Regina squad. They plan to play 15 home games.Weyburn Beavers submitted an application for entry into the circuit but it wasn&rsquo;taccepted at the league meeting. However, it is understood that the Beavers, keen on entering the new loop, plan to appeal to the Saskatchewan Amateur Hockey Association for consideration in the matter.Mr. Pickard, past president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and honorary life member of the Saskatchewan A.H.A., is well qualified for his position. He is a former president of the old Saskatchewan Big Six Senior League, upon which the new league is being based. In 1950-51 he was president of the Western Canada Senior Hockey League, which suspended operations this season, as the clubs from the surviving centers hicked up with the more solvent teams from the Pacific Coast League. &#9632;
