Cougar Kids Oust Chef-- Real Handy Around Stove
EDMONTON, Alta.— You have to hand it to Eddie Dorohoy, the Victoria Whiz-Kid. Not only has he vaulted into the lead in the individual scoring race but as well he finds time between goals to double as a chef. Last time coach Roger Leger’s Cougars made the road jaunt to the prairie end of the eight-team league, Dorohoy and team mate Joe Medynski suddenly blossomed forth as “Restauranteurs.” They relieved the dining car steward of the task of feeding the Cougars at breakfast time, and again that night, after the game. Here’s What Dorohoy, Medynskl Caterers, Inc. served up in the way of a breakfast. For a buck a customer could help himself to juice, cereal, sliced tomato, bacon (or ham) and eggs, toast, jam or marmalade, coffee or milk. A ‘lower’…
Wings’ Roadwork Puts Them In Better Light Than Year Ago
DETROIT, Mich.— Maybe even Jack Adams is amazed by it all. At least everyone else is. The start made by his Detroit Red Wings stands as the biggest surprise in the National Hockey League so far this season. At best, any Detroit success this season once appeared to be the sort of thing which would develop only after a long haul. Winner of three straight NHL titles, the championship squad was thoroughly broken up — seven regulars turned loose and five newcomers added to the lineup. And what happened? The Wings rocketed away to an even faster start than the smart pace set by last year’s club. Take a look at Detroit’s standing at the 17-game mark for the two seasons: Those figures show each won 10 of the first 17 games. The current…
“12 Years Plenty For Anyone,” Says Retired R. Conacher
CHICAGO, Ill.— The Smooth goal - getting ability and steady aggressiveness of Chicago’s Roy Gordon Conacher ended November 15 when he skated off the ice at Detroit’s Olympia. The next day the 35-year-old veteran wingman announced officially that his lengthy and successful NHL career was over. “Twelve years at this game is enough for anyone,” he said, “I’m calling it quits while I still have my health and the chance to enjoy life.” Roy’s term in the National League with Boston, Detroit and then the Black Hawks, dates back to 1938. He tallied 226 goals and 200 assists in over 450 games in the big League, thus averaging very close to a point per game over this long period. Made All-Star Team He was named as left wing on the NHL 1948-49 All-Star team after…
Ross Was Told He Was Going To Sign Woody By Home Fans
BOSTON — Art Ross scouted a powerful young defenseman playing for the Kitchener Juniors in 1934. He was fast and had a blazing shot. This was Woodrow (Porky) Dumart. Between periods, Ross relaxed in a smoking room, where local rooters gathered. “What do you think of this Dumart?” a stranger asked him. “Good, very good,” Ross replied. “Yes, he sure is, and do you know what? Art Ross of the Bruins is here and he is going to sign him. Ain’t that something?” Ross admitted it was. This happened three times, Ross recalls, before someone recognized him and spoiled his fun.…
