<div class="byline">By ACE FOLEY</div><p>HALIFAX, N.S.&mdash;</p><p>For the first time in years hockey men are concerned for the welfare of the Sydney Millionaires. One of Canada&rsquo;s top hockey teams and contenders for national honors the past four seasons, the Milionaires are stumbling all over the Maritime major front.</p><p>On paper they have anothei powerhouse aggregation. But games aren&rsquo;t won on paper and out on the ice the Moneymen seldom live up to their reputations Not only are the Millionaires in the cellar but they&rsquo;re also dropping fast. How low can they get Well, they are so low right now that coach and players are on the ealpet continually.</p><p>Bill Dinning, the old Hamilton Tiger blueline cop, is living on borrowed time. If he can&rsquo;t get the team rolling the management threatens to get a man who will. Dinning is personally popular but he is accused of being too lenient with his men.</p><p>The Millionaires are continually outskated by the younger teams. Particularly galling to Sydney fans &mdash; used to seeing their favorites treat the opposition like cousins &mdash; are the Glace Bay Miners, who have won four games in a row over the Moneymen, an unusual situation for both clubs.</p><p>Miners have themselves been spotty, but when they come up against Millionaires they go all out. Bud Poile is riding high in Canada&rsquo;s &ldquo;biggest town&rdquo; principally because he has laid the Sydney jinx in the dust.</p><h2><b>Can&rsquo;t Stop Beavers</b></h2><p>Meanwhile the Saint John Beavers keep rolling. Nothing stops them. They have been so superior to the others at this point that a close score is often regarded as a. moral victory. A tie game is something to enthuse about. When they&rsquo;re beaten, which has happened only four times this season, the headline writers have a field day.</p><p>Halifax Saint Mary&rsquo;s, off to a weird start and battling critics and fans, have started to get back into the league race. Halifax fans noted the change the night big Bob Drainville joined the club. This long, lean veteran of Coast League hockey has fitted into the team like a charm, A good two-way player, he hat been the. leading light in a return to enthusiasm for Halifax fans.</p><p>With Drainville as the anchor, the team has started to roll. Many of the players are showing form fans didn&rsquo;t believe they possessed earlier. The team is a rich mixture of youth and experience, the hoys can skate with any of the contending teams and of late have become potent scorers. Until re cently it was a big night when the Santamarians could score more than two goals.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-02188/1307650-1-eng-US/f0012-022.jpg" title="f0012-02" width="561" height="900"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b><i>Sparkplug</i></b></p><p><b>PETE LESWICK</b></p></figcaption></div><p>Pete (Poo) Leswick, who has been around the hockey rinks a good many years, is cavorting like a rookie, kicking his heels and skating like a fiend. He is also potting goals with an amazing regularity. He hit the Jackpot the night the Saints blasted Moneten Hawks 6-1 for their biggest goal production of the season.</p><p>Johnny Horeck is Having trouble with the Hawks. Like the Sydney Millionaires, Hawks&rsquo; ranks are filled with &ldquo;name&rdquo; piajers, but they are decidedly spotty. They have been badly beaten on many occasions. Then they&rsquo;d rise from the depths and defeat one of the better teams.</p><p>Horeck hasn&rsquo;t played much himself, mostly because of injuries. The Hawks could use the veteran who had so much hustle with Charlottetown Islanders last season. One thing about Jolmny w&rsquo;as his fiery play. His Hawks haven&rsquo;t that kind of fight.</p><h2><b>Tearing Up Busy Street!</b></h2><p>League officials have made a major schedule change, something unheard of in major circles. After several weeks of playing time, some of the clubs protested that many of their best nights found the home team out of town. The league capitulated, with the result that hockey guides are being discarded right and left.</p><p>Here&rsquo;s a note:&mdash; Halifax Saint Mary&rsquo;s juniors, champions of the Maritime junior hockey world for six straight seasons, won&rsquo;t disband after all. They were refused entrance in the South Shore and then the Antigonish-Pictou-Colchester League. They couldn&rsquo;t get a sponsor unless they could get into a league.</p><p>This week the situation changed. The Saints were officially accepted into the South Shore League as representatives of the town of Liverpool. They&rsquo;ll play all league games out of Liverpool, have exhibition games as well and then enter the provincial and Maritime junior playoffs in the Spring.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Bruin Coach Lynn Patrick, who has known the 31-year-old Henry as teammate and coach for a decade, thinks he knows the answers.</p><p>Patrick is convinced that Henry is a more skilled goalie now than he was in his last National League stint, with the Chicago Black Hawks.</p><p>He is also convinced that Sugar Jim is receiving the best defensive support that he has received in a long time.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-0565/1307109-1-eng-US/f0005-052.jpg" title="f0005-05" width="292" height="444"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gus Kyle</b></figcaption></div><p>Those factors, Patrick believes, are the ones that have converted Henry from journeyman to jewel&mdash;and the Bruins from also-rans to winners.</p><p>&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s get one thing straight before I explain my reasons.&rdquo; declared Patrick. &ldquo;Henry was never a journeyman goalie. As far back as 10 years ago, when he broke in with New York, he was a fine goalie.</p><p>&ldquo;I was playing with the Rangers then, and I know. With him in goal we won the League championship that season.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll say this,&rdquo; the Bruins&rsquo; coach went on, &ldquo;Henry is a better goalie today than he ever was, because he has improved since I last saw him with Chicago several years ago.</p><p>&ldquo;Today he can make plays after making saves in a way he never could before. He clears the puck very well, usually steering it to one of our players. He has cut down rebounds to a minimum, and when he has to get the puck out of the zone himself, he does it.</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s one of my answers.&rdquo; Patrick continued. &ldquo;The other is the protection he&rsquo;s getting from Bill Quackenbush, Gus Kyle, Hal Laycoe and Murray Henderson. He hasn&rsquo;t had anything like it, either in New York or Chicago, since his first year in the League. That season he had Art Coulter, Bill Juzda, Ott Heller and Babe Pratt in front of him. Our defensemen are giving him the same kind of help he got from those fellows.&rdquo;</p><p>Patrick is delighted &mdash; he says he isn&rsquo;t surprised &mdash; at the Bruins&rsquo; defensive play, as backboned by Henry and executed by Quackenbush, Kyle. Henderson and Laycoe. The defensive tightness has been the early highlight of the season for the Bruins.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m very much pleased at the way the defense is working,&rdquo; he admitted,&rsquo;&rdquo;but I figured it would work this way. I was confident of Henry, and I saw that Henderson and Laycoe teamed well after I put them together last season.</p><p>&ldquo;Kyle has made the other combination click, as I was sure he would. He makes a perfect partner for Quackenbush, because he is rugged and aggressive, and no one walks in on him.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Catherine Street Weal, Montreal 25, Que.</b></p><p><b>Printed Canada</b></p><p><b>Vol. 5 December 1, 1951 No. 9</b></p><p>During recent years the Chicago Black Hawks have occupied a lowly niche in the National Hockey League standings, but even the sad state of their statistical affairs has been eclipsed by their spectacular decline at the ticket windows, in the past couple of seasons. From the best hockey city in the circuit, Chicago has sunk to the bottom; instead of boasting a record of jampacked capacity houses for every game &mdash; even with a perennially losing team &mdash; Chicago has gone to the other extreme where fan attendance has sunk to a dangerous low.</p><p>Things have reached such a state that when better than 9,000 fans turned out for a game with Montreal Canadiens last Thanksgiving Night it had to be considered a good showing. That&rsquo;s indeed a far cry from a few years back when you could always count on mobs of about 20,000 cramming the huge Chicago Stadium to the rafters. At the very least, its&rsquo; a sensational turn of events. At its worst, it poses a distinct threat to the future health of the six-team League unless something is done, and fast.</p><p>Just what is behind this drastic slump in patronage, which seemingly blew up as fast as a tropical monsoon? Numerous reasons have been advanced, among them the impact of television, the high cost of living and so on.</p><p>But in the final analysis, the answer undoubtedly lies in a simple fact which applies to all sports &mdash; the customers just won&rsquo;t support a losing team forever. The drop in attendance thus is something which has been casting its shadow ahead of it for a long time &mdash; although certainly the end of the lush money era of the Second World War and the immediately following years hastened the process along.</p><p>When money was flowing freely and a few dollars here and there didn&rsquo;t make any difference in the world to Joe Fan and his Missus, the fans flocked to the Black Hawk games in numbers which made that city the envy of the circuit. The customers didn&rsquo;t like seeing their favorites losing all the time, but they enjoyed the hockey spectacle and kept hoping that &ldquo;next year will be the year.&rdquo;</p><p>But eventually even the most loyal supporters begin to lose interest when there isn&rsquo;t much to cheer about. The only thing that will draw them back is a winning or a contending team, and getting that kind of team must be the Number One priority for the club from now on. That isn&rsquo;t to suggest that club officials haven&rsquo;t been trying. Hawks, of recent years, have been the &ldquo;tradingest&rdquo; team in the loop, getting a regular torrent of players from Detroit, Toronto and other cities. Despite all that, and with the added drawback of a yearly epidemic of injuries, the Chicagoans haven&rsquo;t been able yet to mold a winning team out of the great mass of good and indifferent talent gathered from other squads.</p><p>One major problem is that Hawks haven&rsquo;t been able to develop a farm system capable of supplying them with a regular supply of good young players. That, more than anything, is the key to success as can easily be proved by taking a look at the circuit&rsquo;s strong contending entries at Detroit, Toronto and Montreal. These successful teams, for the main, rely on young players they bring along themselves, rather than, by trading. The policy without doubt is one which pays off, in wins on the ice and at the gate.</p><p>Of course, that all takes time, and the Black Hawks need a transfusion at the box office right now to counteract the doldrums which they are in and which have an adverse effect upon the entire League. What those measures are we have to leave up to the club and the League Governors, who must do some serious thinking on the matter, in an effort to reach a solution.</p><p>The most vital need is for more balanced competition in the entire League, which can go a long way toward boosting the attendance marks. Boston has shown a healthy improvement this year as the Bruins have been putting up a more spirited fight than they have in previous campaigns. New York Rangers haven&rsquo;t quite managed to untrack themselves yet, but given a bit of encouragement the fans there will come out in large enough numbers to keep the turnstile count from dropping too low, although it can stand plenty of improvement. As at Chicago, a winning team is the prime need there also.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

BOX OFFICE TRANSFUSION NEEDED

<div class="byline">By DANA MOZLEY</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>If the Giants could beat the Dodgers and if Churchill could usurp Labour&rsquo;s control of Parliament, then New York believes a defenseman can win the Calder Memorial Trophy. Selfishly, and possibly prematurely, it nominates Hy Buller of the Rangers as the very first defenseman deserving of the rookie award in 16 years.</p><p>It has taken Buller eight long years to graduate from the minors to the majors and almost everyone who has seen him wonders why. He couldn&rsquo;t have become what Frank Boucher terms a &ldquo;veritable likeness of Bill Quackenbush&rdquo; overnight. He didn&rsquo;t. Hymie says he&rsquo;s the same player now he was two years ago at Cleveland, at the age of 23.</p><p>Boucher has an answer to that. He&rsquo;d been trying to buy Buller for some time from the Barons, only to receive an emphatic &ldquo;no dice.&rdquo; Cleveland knew it had something it could use, and it was a rich enough franchise to be able to turn its head away from any offer. Last year, the Barons suffered a sudden relapse at the gate. Ergo: Buller came to New York last summer with forward Wally Hergesheimer for $50,000 or so and six players.</p><h2>Candidate For Cup</h2><p>A defenseman never has won the Calder Trophy, dominated the last two seasons by goaltenders. On what he has shown and done around the League in this yet-young season, Buller certainly must be considered a leading candidate in the race with such forwards as Hergesheimer, Alex Delvecchio and Fred Glover of the Wings and Boom Aoom Geoffrion of the Canadiens.</p><p>Hymie does everything that can be asked of any defenseman, except hit. &ldquo;Sure, I&rsquo;d like to see him crack them,&rdquo; Boucher admits. &ldquo;But you can&rsquo;t have everything. Quackenbush doesn&rsquo;t hit them, either, and he&rsquo;s quite a defenseman. Both are sound and strong, too.&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01162/1306677-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="586" height="597"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>He Belongs</b></p><p><b>HY BULLER</b></p></figcaption></div><p>In continuing his comparison between Buller and Quackenbush, Boucher pointed out: &ldquo;They each have great all-around abilities. They&rsquo;re exceptional stick checkers, fine stick handlers and rushers. Buller, like Quackenbush, is very good on point in power plays. He has our best shot from the blue line and he can get it away without a windup. Very strong wrists.</p><p>&ldquo;The most noticeable thing about Buller is his coolness and quick thinking under fire. He&rsquo;ll adapt himself to any situation. He&rsquo;s made some mistakes this year &hellip; sure. But so does everyone else. Few correct them as fast as he does. He learns a player&rsquo;s habits and actions, and writes them all down in his mental book. Lindsay and Howe, for instance, gave him trouble early in the year. They won&rsquo;t give him so much after this &hellip; no more than a great player always does.&rdquo;</p><p>Buller, who stands 5-11 and scales 183, has been teaming very effectively with Allan Stanley. Stanley takes most of the chances; Buller backs him up. Yet Hymie takes a big part in the Rangers&rsquo; attack, too. In the team&rsquo;s first dozen games, he scored a goal and had three assists. Some of the forwards can&rsquo;t make that statement.</p><p>&ldquo;Al has been a big help,&rdquo; Buller admits. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve watched the way he carries the puck and have learned a lot. He&rsquo;s given me a number of good tips on the opposing players. We talk to each other all the time on the ice. We both try to anticipate a play before It comes off.&rdquo;</p><p>Frank Eddolls, team captain, added his boost for Buller. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a real heady player,&rdquo; the veteran defenseman said. &ldquo;Everything about him is sound. He can take charge, too. That odd guy will beat him now because he&rsquo;s not used to all the styles up here. For instance, Lindsay fooled him a couple of times the other night, by swinging wide and cutting in fast. He probably won&rsquo;t again.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Took Jewish Defenseman 8 Years To Graduate To Big League After Signing At 17</b></h2><p>This poised veteran of only a few weeks in the NHL was an AHL All-Star with Cleveland in 1948-49 and again in 1950-51. He was in the AHL since 1943, first with Indianapolis, then Hershey and finally Cleveland. That minor league career began at the age of 17, after he&rsquo;d schooled for one season right in New York &mdash; with the Rovers.</p><h2>Born In Montreal</h2><p>This first Jewish player in New York since Alex Levinsky (1935) was born in Montreal, but moved to Saskatoon, Sask., at the tender age of three. It was there that he went through the regular channel of hockey, beginning with the Pee Wees at the age of 10.</p><p>&ldquo;In those years, I was never sure I&rsquo;d make the majors,&rdquo; Buller says now. &ldquo;All I know, when I was playing with the Pee Wees from 1937 to 1940, the best hockey player in our family was my older brother, Harry. He was a defenseman, too, and a real colorful one. He got as far as Juniors when, because he was the oldest boy in the family, he had to go to work. I know he&rsquo;d have gone all the way to the NHL.&rdquo;</p><p>Hymie was quite a diver and free-style swimmer in his youth, but he gave up that competition by the time he was 17. By then, hockey was his whole life.</p><p>From the Pee Wees, his career followed through the Embassy Club Midgets in Saskatoon to the Junior Saskatoon Quakers in 1941-42. One of his teammates on the Quakers was Vic Lynn, who beat him to the majors in Toronto and who now plays for the Bruins. The next year, when he turned 16, he played with the Rovers. No one hardly noticed him here, at that time.</p><p>Buller spent most of his first professional season in Indianapolis, although he finished up the last seven games in the Spring of 1944 with Detroit. He was the spare defenseman for the Wings the following Fall, until sold in a straight cash deal to Hershey.</p><p>His three seasons at Hershey were fruitful ones. Besides scoring 44 points in 1946-47, he met and married Elaine, from nearby Harrisburg. They now have two sons, Bobby (4) and Bruce (15 mos.). Bobby was on skates at a year and a half and last year was Cleveland&rsquo;s official mascot.</p><p>It was at Cleveland where Buller developed Into a defensive standout. He was quite a scorer, too. He had 4 8 and 37 points the first two seasons, before slipping to 29 when felled with a broken ankle. Last year, when a unanimous choice for the AHL All-Stars, he scored 57 points. Sixteen were goals.</p><p>He liked Cleveland so well he bought a home there and makes that his permanent residence. In the off-season, he&rsquo;s an outside salesman for a sporting goods firm. He&rsquo;s also an enthusiastic golfer, but with a chest bare of medals.</p><p>Fortunately, he also likes New York. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m crazy about it here,&rdquo; he said recently. The morale of this club is so great. We all feel we are going to win.&rdquo;</p><p>Maybe he doesn&rsquo;t know it, but one of the main reasons the Rangers feel they re going to win is Buller. Now, if they can only see their way clear to choosing a defenseman as the rookie of the year &hellip;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Boucher Calls Buller Carbon Copy Of Bruins’ Quackenbush

<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02147/1306715-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="277" height="330"></div><p>&bull;BOSTON &mdash; MILT SCHMIDT became the sole survivor of one of the greatest forward lines of modern hockey, the famous &ldquo;Krauts,&rdquo; last week. Once there were three, Schmidt, Bobby Bauer and Porky Dumart. Bauer retired from professional hockey a few years ago, and recently Art Ross made it known that Dumart is through as a major leaguer. In fact, he wanted to trade the big left wing man to the Canadiens but it was no dice.</p><p>The &ldquo;Krauts&rdquo; are in reality the last of the &ldquo;name&rdquo; lines. The Canadien &ldquo;Punch Line&rdquo;, was originally Lach, Blake and Benoit. Then it became Lach, Richard and Blake. But when Blake retired, this line lost its identity, in a way, with Dussault on left wing for a time, and then Olmstead. Before that there was the great Toronto &ldquo;Kid Line&rdquo; of Primeau, Jackson and Charlie Conacher, and even earlier, Boston had its high scoring &ldquo;Dynamite Line&rdquo; of Weiland, Clapper and Dutch Gainor.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03136/1306708-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="397" height="669"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Woody Duma</b></figcaption></div><p><b>But the &ldquo;name lines&rdquo; seem to have disappeared in modern hockey, and the &ldquo;Krauts&rdquo; were certainly one of the greatest, three boys from Kitchener, who not only played together but lived together in a Boston flat, did their own hopse-keeping and cooking, and enlisted as a group in the Royal Canadian Air Force 1942, serving until the end of the war and then returning as a unit to carry on for the Bruins until Bauer decided to quit. They had banded together in 1936.</b></p><p>Now only the amazing Schmidt remains, playing in his thirteenth season for the Bruins and playing very well. Dumart had scored 197 goals when it was decided to replace him. He has been a very clean player, and moves out of the major circuit with the remarkable record of having played our campaigns with only one minor penalty in each season. His worst season in that respect, if you wish to use the term &ldquo;worst&rdquo; was in 1940, when he served 16 (sixteen) minutes in the coop. In fact the &ldquo;Krauts&rdquo; were always a very elean-playing line, and in one season established the remarkable record of finishing 1-2-3 in the scoring parade. They played as a unit on two Stanley Cup winners.</p><p>Dumart, a skillful stick-handler who has lose bis speed, would of course like to remain in the National Hockey League, which is the reason he refused to join coach Terry Reardon&rsquo;s Rhode Island Reds. The Bruins recently offered to trade Dumart to Canadiens for Billy Reay, another veteran, but Frank Selke, general manager of the Montreal club, refused to deal because he felt that it might be his lot to tell Woody that he was through as a major leaguer. It was Selke who discovered the three &ldquo;Krauts&rdquo;, Bobby Bauer, Milt Schmidt and Dumart. He recommended Bauer first, and then brought Schmidt and Dumart to Toronto from Kitchener but Conn Smythe turned them down, one of the few mistakes Smythe has made.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

The fact that they settled for a tie with New York when Paul Ronty scored the equilizer with 42 seconds left and repeated against Boston in Toronto when Milt Schmidt robbed them of a point with only 25 seconds left on the clock, didn&rsquo;t bother him as much as the fact that only three Leafs, Ted Kennedy, Tod Sloan and Sid Smith were in the top 25 in tile League&rsquo;s scoring statistics.</p><p>&ldquo;Everybody is blowing leads,&rdquo; he pointed out. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m more concerned about the way the club isn&rsquo;t shooting.</p><p>&ldquo;And,&rdquo; he added perusing of a list of player weights which had been brought with great alacrity at his request. &ldquo;They are getting fat again.&rdquo;</p><p>Perceptive newsmen, pencils poised, held breath expectantly for a possible renewal of the Battle of the Bulge, the now famous dieting purge which Smythe started just a year ago under similar circumstances. It was not, however, forthcoming. Not yet anyway.</p><p>But Smythe found the answer to whatever lethargy you can attribute to a second place Club on Cal Gardner&rsquo;s failure to come through this season and Sid Smith&rsquo;s lack of foot. Rollins, at that time tied with Detroit&rsquo;s Terry Sawchuk in goals against, was holding the club together, he said.</p><p>&ldquo;And he&rsquo;s getting better all the time.&rdquo;</p><p>He answered newsmen&rsquo;s insistence that Howie Meeker. even though he is too busy with his duties as a member of Parliament to practice regularly, seemed to be the best conditioned player on the team.</p><p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s in good condition mentally,&rdquo; lie said. &ldquo;And he&rsquo;s the only one on the club who took a salary cut this season.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;And,&rdquo; he added, &ldquo;there can not be any doubt about how much we miss Bill Barilko.

Gardner, Smith, Conn’s Answer To Leafs ’ 2nd Spot

<p>TORONTO &mdash; The Toronto Maple Leafs recalled Winger Danny Lewicki from the Pittsburgh Hornets this week to bolster a sagging scoring club.</p><p>Lewicki was sent to the Hornets two weeks ago after failing to come through as expected. He had scored just one goal in the NHL before he was sent down with Ray Timgren and replaced by Bob Solinger and Rudy Migay.</p><p>Lewicki, who refused to go to Pittsburgh when first ordered, was under threat of suspension and finally gave in to Conn Smythe&rsquo;s order.</p><p>In six games in Pittsburgh he scored 3 goals and added four assists for 7 points.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Leafs Recall Lewicki From Hornets To Boost Scoring

<div class="byline">By DANA MOZLEY</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>Tommy Ivan and Sid Abel, coach and captain of the Detroit Red Wings respectively, dropped a bomb in the middle of the New York Writers annual weekly luncheon recently when they reported that the present tight officiating system is Bissifying the game.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-0138/1308649-1-eng-US/f0001-012.jpg" title="f0001-01" width="296" height="445"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Sid Abel</b></figcaption></div><p>&ldquo;Bodychecking is an important part of the game,&rdquo; said Ivan, &ldquo;but fans aren&rsquo;t seeing it anymore. This tight officiating is hurting not helping the game. The players are conscious of the referees now that they are calling everything. They&rsquo;re so afraid of getting penalties they&rsquo;re failing to make the right plays.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Abel Gives Reasons</b></h2><p>Abel, a veteran of over 10 years in the NHL agreed with his coach that the present game is sissified. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a sissy&rsquo;s game now,&rdquo; said Sid. &ldquo;Good checks like we used to see aren&rsquo;t being handed out anymore. Players are shying away from giving out good solid checks. They&rsquo;re afraid to check close to the boards for fear they may take a penalty.&rdquo; Abel&rsquo;s statement came while he was suffering from a slightly separated shoulder, courtesy of Montreal&rsquo;s Doug Harvey after the latter had checked him into the boards.</p><p>Ivan and Abel made their statements while General Manager Frank Boucher of the Rangers was seated across the table. Boucher, a constant winner of the Lady Byng Trophy for clean play when he was active in the NHL as a player, disbelieves that roughhouse hockey is part of the game.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always been a firm believer of playing according to the rules,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s better for the sport. The game is far better today with the close officiating. The stars have a chance to show what they can do in this game. The days of the hitters such as Juzda and Kyle is on the wane. For years it&rsquo;s been the hitters who have smothered the real stars of our game, but now we&rsquo;re beginning to see who the real stars are.&rdquo; We, here in New York, have always referred to the Toronto defense as a &lsquo;hit and hold&rsquo; defense. They&rsquo;re not so good when they have to check legally. Toronto haven&rsquo;t altered their style to the new rules and as a result they&rsquo;re having more trouble winning than they had in the past.</p><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-0232/1308642-1-eng-US/f0001-022.jpg" title="f0001-02" width="1764" height="2975"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>The Birds And Bs&rsquo; &hellip; &hellip; <i>By Collins</i></b></figcaption></div><p>They can&rsquo;t hit and hold anymore and so the stars are emerging again. It makes for better hockey and less injuries when this game is played according to the rules.&rdquo;</p><p>Boucher was backed up by his ace star Edgar Laprade, who agreed later on that the present play is at least 50% better than before the NHL clamped down on the rough hockey. Laprade, one of the finest stickhandlers in the game, is a carbon copy of Boucher when it comes to playing it clean. He seldom gets mad or checks illegally.</p><p>If the referees are to blame for the present hockey then Dick Irvin, the maestro of present day coaches, doesn&rsquo;t go for it.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not the officials who are to blame. The game is being satisified all right but it isn&rsquo;t the men in white who are doing it. They are just calling them according to the book.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the clubs who are to blame if this game becomes a sissy&rsquo;s game. They aren&rsquo;t coming up with any more of those rough, tough guys. They&rsquo;re all looking for that sweet type of player who wouldn&rsquo;t hit a fly. The players coming up are also to blame because they&rsquo;re trying to be like the pantywaist players who are in the League today. They don&rsquo;t make them like Horner, Orlando and Chuck Conacher anymore. Not because they aren&rsquo;t around but because they don&rsquo;t know how to play the game the way those guys do. There is just a few players in the League who can rock &rsquo;em like the old-timers&rdquo;.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

“Sissy’s Game Today,” Report Ivan, Sid Abel

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>Coach Tommy Ivan of the Detroit Red Wings poured gas on an a1ready blazing fire last week in Boston when he termed &ldquo;Wild&rdquo; Bill Ezinicki of the Bruins &ldquo;a detriment to the club.&rdquo; It didn&rsquo;t help the already strained relations between Ezinicki and Ted Lindsay since Ivan put the mark on Ezzie after the Bruins&rsquo; forward tried in vain to connect with Terrible Ted. The latter, feeling the $300 he was fined for his clash with Ezinicki last season was sufficient to last a while, preferred to give the Bostonian a very wide berth. The feud got its re-start after a Detroit-Boston game here last week which the Wings won 2-0.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-0320/1308680-1-eng-US/f0001-032.jpg" title="f0001-03" width="262" height="426"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Tommy ivan</b></figcaption></div><p>But the fireworks didn&rsquo;t finish where Ivan left off. The Bruins front office then took up the cudgel against the Wings for playing a poor brand of hockey.</p><p>Ivan, irked at Ezinicki&rsquo;s repeated run-ins with his players, asked after the game, &ldquo;What&rsquo;s he trying to prove, anyway? That fellow does the Bruins more harm than good.&rdquo;</p><p>After Ezinicki tangled with Lindsay in the first period Ivan kept Ted off the ice while Ezzie was on. They never played against each other for the rest of the game, despite the catcalls of the crowd against the Wings.</p><h2><b>Won&rsquo;t Risk Ted</b></h2><p>&ldquo;Let them boo me if they want to?&rdquo; said Ivan, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s their privilege. I&rsquo;m not risking a $75,000 hockey player (apparently Lindsay) against Ezinicki.&rdquo;</p><p>When informed of Ivan&rsquo;s remarks Lynn Patrick, Boston coach replied, &ldquo;Ezzie is a colorful, effective player. Let them (the referees) watch someone else once in a while.&rdquo;</p><p>Finally, Walter Brown, president of the Bruins, got into the act. He blasted the Wings for playing sloppy, poor-to-look-at hockey.</p><p>&ldquo;The Wings may be National League hotshots in the standing,&rdquo; said Brown, &ldquo;but they are strictly second division at the box office. Brown&rsquo;s blast Came at the same time Ivan was giving Ezinicki the works. The Wings whipped the Bruins 2-0 before a crowd of a little over 5,000, just nine nights I after the Toronto Leafs played I with them before a crowd of over 13,000. It was the largest crowd to witness a Bruins&rsquo; home game in years.</p><p>Brown said he didn&rsquo;t like Ivan&rsquo;s strategy which resulted in Detroit&rsquo;s laying back for two periods while the Bruins did the entertaining for the cash customers.</p><p>Brown didn&rsquo;t stop at Ivan or his strategy either. He dug down deeper, named two players who weren&rsquo;t doing the turnstiles much good despite their supposedly great status in hockey.</p><p>&ldquo;Howe and Lindsay may be great hockey players but you can&rsquo;t prove it at the box office,&rdquo; declared Brown. &ldquo;Detroit hasn&rsquo;t drawn well here in more than a decade, and their style of play is the reason why.</p><p>&ldquo;The Red Wings may be National League champions, but the I customers don&rsquo;t seem to know it. They don&rsquo;t draw nearly as well as either Toronto or Montreal, who usually make their home games in Boston two-way propositions.&rdquo;</p><p>Brown became the second hockey bigwig inside of three weeks to blast the Wings for their style of play. Conn Smythe of the Leafs called them the &ldquo;Kitty-Bar-The-Door&rdquo; experts of the League not too long ago after the Wings had preferred the switch to defensive hockey against the Leafs in Toronto when the Detroiters took a 1-0 lead.</p><p>But Smythe didn&rsquo;t get too much backing from that statement. Said Tommy Ivan and Jack Adams, &ldquo;he doesn&rsquo;t know what he&rsquo;s talking about. We are the highest scoring team in the League.&rdquo;</p><p>It made things all the more confusing when two days later Coach Dick Irvin of the Montreal Canadiens come out and called the Leafs the &ldquo;Kitty-Bar-The-Door&rdquo; club of the League after the Leafs had whipped the Canadiens 1-0 in Toronto and 4-1 in Montreal in successive nights.</p><p>The following game the Leafs played Hawks and won the game, but in a newspaper report it was said that the game itself was a dull affair and the customers walked out en-masse.</p><p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;re the experts at &lsquo;Kitty&rsquo; hockey,&rdquo; said Irvin. &ldquo;They don&rsquo;t walk out on my team.&rdquo;</p><p>All of which meant little when you think that the present coach of the Bruins, Lynn Patrick, concocted a very weird brand of hockey when he coached the Rangers and nearly won the Stanley Cup with a &ldquo;Kitty-Bar-The-Door&rdquo; game that had the opposition going around in circles.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Calls Ezzie Detriment To Boston Club

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>After 12 seasons at the same old stand, Woodrow Clarence &ldquo;Porky&rdquo; Dumart has been given new assignments by the Boston Bruins.</p><p>Effective last week Dumart became a combination emergency forward and public relations man tor the only National League team for which he has ever played.</p><p>The 34-year-old left wing was given that status by President Walter Brown after refusing to play hockey anywhere but Boston.</p><p>Dumart, who was being used as an alternate by Coach Lynn Patrick, was sought by the Providence Reds, coached by his old teammate Terry Reardon, but the veteran balked at playing in the American League.</p><p>&ldquo;This is where I started and this is where I will finish,&rdquo; he declared. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not going to play minor league hockey or am I interested in playing for any other major league team.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m a permanent resident of Greater Boston (Newton), I&rsquo;m bringing up my family here, and I want to stay with the Bruins,&rdquo; he added.</p><p>As a result, Brown worked out the arrangement under which Woody will operate for the rest of the season, thereby killing rumors that he might play for someone else.</p><p>He will work out regularly with the Bruins, keeping in condition to play in case of emergency, either at home or on the road. The rest of his time he will devote to public relations.</p><h2><b>Program Underway</b></h2><p>With one of Boston&rsquo;s alltime &ldquo;greats&rdquo; at its disposal, the Bruins&rsquo; publicity office immediately started the preparation of a Dumart program. It will include the conduct of hockey clinics for Greater Boston schoolboys and collegians and appearances at sports nights and Other athletic programs as the representative of the club.</p><p>Dumart is hopeful of playing in enough games this season to become a member of the National League&rsquo;s exclusive. &ldquo;200 goals&rdquo; Club, for which he needs only three goals to qualify. He started the season with 197 in regular competition, and he has scored another 12 in Stanley Cup playoffs.</p><p>The mild-mannered giant has been connected with some of the most stirring moments in Boston hockey history since he first ambled in from Kitchener, Ontario, to play for the old Bruins-Cubs of the Can-Am league back in 1935.</p><p>A year later at Providence he Was placed on a line with two Kitchener neighbors, Milt Schmidt and Bobby Bauer. Al &ldquo;Battleship&rdquo; Leduc, coach of the Reds, dubbed them the &ldquo;Kraut&rdquo; line because of their mutual German ancestry and that&rsquo;s how they came to the Bruins late that season.</p><p>Dumart was the left wing and Chief goal-getter for the Krauts during pre-World War II days. After Bauer&rsquo;s retirement five years ago, he and Schmidt kept the Krauts&rsquo; flag flying as Boston&rsquo;s two &ldquo;old pros&rdquo;.</p><p>Schmidt, the Bruins&rsquo; captain and youngest of the three, rates his chum the best forward he has seen since he has been in the National League.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-01161/1306829-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg" title="f0003-01" width="724" height="1173"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>&lsquo;Kitchener Kids&rsquo; Grow Up</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-02133/1306822-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="768" height="1176"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Woody Dumart, right, with his &ldquo;Krout Line&rdquo; mates when they first broke in with the Bruins and became one of the game&rsquo;s finest trios.</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0391/1306815-1-eng-US/f0003-032.jpg" title="f0003-03" width="748" height="1173"></div><p>&ldquo;He is definitely the best to play for the Bruins since I have been here,&rdquo; declared Capt. Milt, &ldquo;and I have never played against anyone I thought as good allround as he.</p><p>&ldquo;He is a great scorer and a better defensive player than any of the other great scorers,&rdquo; Schmidt maintained, &ldquo;and he has a fine shot which Tiny Thompson once told me was the heaviest he ever handled. He has very seldom lost playing time by needless penalties, and he has size, power and a thorough knowledge of the goalies.&rdquo;</p><p>In five seasons with the Bruins &mdash; he missed three with his two sidekicks during the war &mdash; Dumart has scored 20 or more goals. His high for a single season is 24, in 1946-47.</p><p>A year ago the big fellow started slowly after being separated from Schmidt for the first time. Finally Patrick, on a hunch, reunited them on a line with Bill Ezinicki, and Woody went on to his fifth 20-goal year.</p><p>In a late-season game against the Chicago Black Hawks he performed a feat he had never done before. He scored four goals against Harry Lumley, topping his previous high of three in a pre-war game with Chicago.</p><p>Although he has played on two Stanley Cup winners, Dumart thinks that his greatest major league thrill was probably provided by a goal which he scored against the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1949 playoffs in Toronto. He broke up a tie game with a blazer by Turk Broda in a &ldquo;sudden death&rdquo; overtime. It was the first overtime goal of his career.</p><p>Always a hustler but never vicious, it is doubtful that Dumart has ever made an enemy on the ice. Maurice &ldquo;The Rocket&rdquo; Richard of Montreal, the most harassed player in hockey, rates big Woody his most sportsmanlike check. Since 1936 he has received only three major penalties, and he feels that he deserved only two of them.</p><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0456/1306808-1-eng-US/f0003-042.jpg" title="f0003-04" width="1704" height="1218"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>The &ldquo;Krout Line&rdquo; when they were hitting the end of their career as a line.

Refuses Reds’ Bid Or To Be Traded Away

That&rsquo;s in sharp contrast to the what-a-cinch-for-Conacher theory, whose advocates argue you could grab your grandpa, jack him up, fit him with skates, call him Conacher, and slide him into the NHL. As long as his alias wasn&rsquo;t discovered, he&rsquo;d click.&rsquo;</p><p>Patrick said just the opposite was the case. And he speaks with a background of personal experience. Lynn didn&rsquo;t have much but his determination and the Patrick reputation, in the opinion of the critics, when he broke in with the Rangers while his father, Lester, was handling the club. He took a rough ride from the fans before he proved his right to stay in the League.</p><p>&ldquo;As long as things were going well, they weren&rsquo;t too tough on me,&rdquo; Lynn recalled. &ldquo;But when we hit a slump, they&rsquo;d start to ask whether anyone except my father would keep me on the team.&rdquo;</p><p>In the case of young Pete Conacher, Lynn pointed out the kid will be watched from the moment he steps on the ice. They&rsquo;ll expect him to check like Lionel, shoot like Charlie and finish off a play like Roy. An ordinary kid can make a mistake and it may go unnoticed. If young Pete pulls, a crock, the wolves will howl he&rsquo;s not even a splinter off the old block. There&rsquo;s one thing in Pete&rsquo;s favor. Not many people go to the Black Hawks&rsquo; games these nights. If they all booed together, he probably wouldn&rsquo;t hear them if he happened to be out near center ice.</p><p>The opinion persists he won&rsquo;t do too many things that are wrong &mdash; even under the pressure of trying to look like a Conacher while he&rsquo;s attempting to win himself a job.</p><h2><b>This Guy Isn&rsquo;t Hurting Patrick Reputation</b></h2><p>BECAUSE he was the son of a famous hockey father, Lynn Patrick got a lot of ink. But. it&rsquo;s doubtful he ever received full credit for what he did on his own. These times, it&rsquo;s considered quite a feat for a fledgling to stay in the big time, after gradual advancement through the minor and &rsquo;teen-age kid ranks. And those boys are sharpened by two or three seasons in junior hotkey, a pretty rugged brand, as it&rsquo;s played here-abouts. Patrick didn&rsquo;t even have skating during five of his formative years. When he was 16, the rink burned down in his home town, Victoria. Lynn was off the runners until he was 21, when he did a hitch with the Montreal Royals &mdash; mostly on the bench.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-1137/1307002-1-eng-US/f0004-112.jpg" title="f0004-11" width="262" height="409"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>LESTER</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-1218/1306995-1-eng-US/f0004-122.jpg" title="f0004-12" width="260" height="417"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>LYNN</b></figcaption></div><p>When he expressed a desire to turn pro, Lester must have figured Lynn had suffered a severe bump on the head. But Lynn persisted, and spent 10 seasons in the National League. Given the amount of preparation usually provided for a kid on his way up to the big league, Lynn might have been one of the all-time greats of the game. His lack of early training was reflected in his record as a National Leaguer. He hit his peak after six seasons. His best term was in 1941-42, when he finished second to Bryan Hextail in scoring, and was picked for the All-Star team at left wing.</p><p>Since he hung up the tack and took to coaching, Lynn, has enhanced, rather than hurt the Patrick reputation which Lester established for savvy on the bench. He specializes in bringing home the long shots. In his first season as a bench I man, Lynn came within the thickness of a goal-post of providing the biggest upset since 1938, when Chicago copped the Stanley Cup. His Rangers carried Detroit to seven games in the final round before going under. He made the playoffs again last season, with a Boston club that got a face-lifting in mid-season, after a miserable start.</p><p>This season&rsquo;s Bruins are supposed to finish last, according to the pre-season pickers. They&rsquo;re more likely to bear out Lynn&rsquo;s own prediction that they&rsquo;ll be closer to the top than they are to the bottom, by the time the robins return from the south. There&rsquo;s one thing that gripes him; even though the Bruins have silenced their detractors, they haven&rsquo;t been able to win at home.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Speaking on Sport

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><p>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;</p><p>A youth movement, which will bring at least seven new faces to the Chicago Black Hawks through the course of the current season, was recently announced by William J. Tobin, the team&rsquo;s president. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not going to wait until next training camp to see what these kids have got,&rdquo; he announced.</p><p>&ldquo;Those we expect to bring up include Pete Conacher. Charley&rsquo;s 19-year-old son, and Ken Wharram. who&rsquo;ve been heading the scorers with Red Hamill&rsquo;s Galt Black Hawks in the Ontario Junior circuit. Then there are two more promising forwards, Ron Wallace and Murray Costello of the St. Mikes team in the same league.</p><p>&ldquo;We also are figuring on our three rookies that have been breaking into pro hockey down at St. Louis &mdash; winger Steve Witiuk, center Sid Finney and Brent MacNab, a defenseman. The amateurs will only be able to play three games here without signing professional contracts, but these three have already gone over that hurdle and could stay on indefinitely if they show enough.&rdquo;</p><p>Roy Conacher&rsquo;s decision to hang up his skates forever after 12 years of campaigning in the National Hockey League brought about the start of the youth movement. Nephew Pete was the first to get the call and he arrived in the Windy City, accompanied by his Dad, for the November 18 tussle with Toronto&rsquo;s cup champion Leafs.</p><h2><b>A Heralded Arrival</b></h2><p>The youngster&rsquo;s arrival in Chicago was heralded as much as the recent trip of the Royal Couple. He was pictured and compared in every way to Roy and was put into the veteran&rsquo;s No. 9 uniform. Coach Ebbie Goodfellow decided to play Pete at wing with the Hawks&rsquo; two fastest forwards, Billy Mosienko and Jim McFadden.</p><p>All this set the stage for probably the toughest test ever put on a junior rookie breaking into his first NHL tilt, but he rose to the occasion in excellent fashion. Pete skated, checked and carried and passed the puck as well as any of the established pro stars.</p><p>He helped Goaler Harry Lumley chalk up his first shutout of the 1951-52 schedule by setting up the only Chicago score at 14:44 of the second period. Mosienko carried the puck past center ice into Toronto territory and then passed to Conacher. He was bottled up by the Leaf defense to the left of the goal, but managed to flip the puck to McFadden, who shot through Rollins from 20 feet out while taking a hard check.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01182/1307047-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="576" height="877"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>Back To School</b></p><p><b>Pete Conacher</b></p></figcaption></div><p>Pete narrowly missed notching his own goal a few moments later when he picked up a loose puck right in front of the Toronto cage, but he was too close to see much twine and his sizzling drive bounced off Rollins.</p><p>After the game, Charley Conacher strolled into the Hawk dressing room and said, &ldquo;The kid played alright for his first game, but I want him to finish, school before he starts thinking about turning pro. He still has quite a bit to learn.&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-02160/1307040-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg" title="f0005-02" width="1720" height="1173"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>My Gosh!

Young Conacher First Of Seven Kids To Get Chi Chance This Year

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><p>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;</p><p>The Smooth goal - getting ability and steady aggressiveness of Chicago&rsquo;s Roy Gordon Conacher ended November 15 when he skated off the ice at Detroit&rsquo;s Olympia. The next day the 35-year-old veteran wingman announced officially that his lengthy and successful NHL career was over.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03123/1307078-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg" title="f0005-03" width="280" height="396"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Roy Conacher</b></figcaption></div><p>&ldquo;Twelve years at this game is enough for anyone,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m calling it quits while I still have my health and the chance to enjoy life.&rdquo;</p><p>Roy&rsquo;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.</p><h2><b>Made All-Star Team</b></h2><p>He was named as left wing on the NHL 1948-49 All-Star team after becoming the League&rsquo;s top scorer that year with 26 goals and 42 assists for 68 points. He beat linemate Doug Bentley by just two points. By a pre-arranged agreement the pair split the cash prize won by Roy.</p><p>Now the 11th ranking all-time scorer in the National League, Roy hit the 200 goal mark early last season. His final official regular schedule scoring record will read: 226 goals, 200 assists, 426 points and 90 minutes In penalties. He also accounted for 15 goals, 15 assists, 30 points and 18 minutes in penalties during 42 playoff contests.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

“12 Years Plenty For Anyone,” Says Retired R. Conacher

<div class="image-hero"><img title="f0006-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-01254/1307171-1-eng-US/f0006-012.jpg"></div><h2><b>Hurrah For Mr. Brown</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I nearly had a heart attack when I read the issue of THE HOCKEY NEWS with Walter Brown&rsquo;s story asking that overtime be resumed in the NHL. This is the first time in years that anybody has ever had the nerve to take the other side of the fence and give some good reasons as to why the extra time should be resumed. Up until now it&rsquo;s been all Smythe and why we shouldn&rsquo;t have overtime.</p><p>I like Brown&rsquo;s theory best. Glad to see your paper believes Brown is right.</p><p>Maurice Friedman. Winnipeg, Man.</p><h2><b>Fighting Guy</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Seems the Boston Bruins have got themselves a guy to run their team who isn&rsquo;t afraid to say what he thinks. Good for Walter Brown. At least he isn&rsquo;t bowing down to the wishes of Smythe and Norris. He makes sense.</p><p>Robert Lumsden Toronto, Ont.</p><h2><b>Fighting Words</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Adam Brown should thank his lucky stars the Chicago Black Hawks kept him around as long as they did. Instead he does nothing but criticize the club and his exteammates. They fed him when he had no right being fed. He was lucky to be playing hockey in the NHL as long as he was.</p><p>Perhaps if Adam had of abided by Chuck Conacher&rsquo;s rules he would never have had any run &mdash; ins with the former Chi coach.</p><p>Rollan Davidson. Montreal, Que.</p><h2><b>Back To Toruito</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>The guy who wrote the Toronto story recently saying Richard now knows he has the privledge of buying all those rotten things he wrote should be covering pingpong or something along that lines. He&rsquo;s way out of his field in the NHL.</p><p>How stupid can one man get. He says Richard now knows he can punch this guy, kick that guy and come out of the penalty box and do this and that.</p><p>If that&rsquo;s a privledge then any other player in the NHL can buy it too. Juzda-the-Jerk can also buv that privledge, as if he hasn&rsquo;t at least 1000 times in his NHL career.</p><p>I have watched guys like Juzda and Flanian a long time. They pick on the small guys all the time. Now, don&rsquo;t get me wrong I&rsquo;m not a Leaf hater by any means but I do hate bullys in hockey. They pick on the little guys and make themselves look big. But as soon as a guy their own size comes along and does something they go crying to Mr. Smythe.</p><p>Why don&rsquo;t guys like Jizda and Flaman try fighting guys there own size, but better than that why don&rsquo;t they admit they were beaten by a tougher guy. As if Juzda&rsquo;s shiner didn&rsquo;t prove it.</p><p>Jack Stavemen. Windsor, Ont.</p><h2><b>Irvin Was Right</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I was reading through your paper some time ago and came upon a small piece quoting Dick Irvin as saying Elmer Lach was the greatest two way hockey play er that ever stepped into the NHL. He&rsquo;s right.</p><p>But how come guys like Lach never get any glory for their hard work. I&rsquo;ve heard that Doug Bentley, Richard, Frank Boucher and now Turk Broda have had or are going to have special nights dedicated to them. If ever a hockey player deserved a night it&rsquo;s Elmer Lach. In all the years he&rsquo;s been in the NHL I&rsquo;ve never seen him quit trying. Even when his team is behind the guy is always talking it up, fighting to get back into the game. He plays until the last whistle and that&rsquo;s what makes him the greatest player the NHL ever had.</p><p>Perhaps the fans don&rsquo;t realize that Lach is the key to Richard&rsquo;s success. When he goes there is a very good chance that Mons Richard&rsquo;s scoring ability will go to.</p><p>So someone, I don&rsquo;t care who it is, please do something in the way of a Elmer Lach night for the greatest guy that ever lived. He deserves it.</p><p>James F. Ayers. Montreal, Que.</p><h2><b>Good Reading</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Your story on Reg. Sinclair by Dana Mozley some weeks ago was a fine piece of work by a very fine writer. I get my HOCK EY NEWS at the Garden every week and now like it more than ever since you have Mozley as your weekly writer out of New York.</p><p>Sinclair would have been the rookie of the year last season with a little better publicity by the Rangers. He was the highest scoring rookie in the league and one of the best scorers on the New York Club. It&rsquo;s about time he was given a little credit.</p><p>Hyman Roth. New York, N.Y.</p><h2><b>Adam&rsquo;s $100</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>If that fan paid Adam Brown&rsquo;s $100 fine then he was robbed.</p><p>It was never worth $100 to watch him play hockey in Chicago.</p><p>Alec Rostern. Chicago, Ill.</p><h2><b>The Tip - In Guy</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>That was a fine story on Sid Smith, the most underrated hockey player in the National Hockey League.</p><p>Smitty will undoubtedly be the All-Star left winger in the big League this season, finally replacing a much overrated and stick happy Ted Lindsay.</p><p>Last season Lindsay was put on that team more out of force of habit than anything else. I sure hope those guys who put him there get out of that habit. The club looked exactly as though the coaches picked it. 1 thought they did when they didn&rsquo;t put Smith on the team.</p><p>Ron Taylon North Bay, Ont.</p><h2><b>More AHL</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I&rsquo;m glad to see THE HOCKEY NEWS coming through with more stories of AHL players. In the years before you seemed to neglect that League although it id just a few grades less than the NHL.</p><p>At any rate I&rsquo;m happy now. That Whitney Tower in Cincinnati and Dick McCrone in Hershey are fine fellows and good writers and I enjoy them very much.</p><p>Layton Barton. Pittsburgh, Pa.</p><h2><b>Geoff&rsquo;s Speech</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Didn&rsquo;t Ken McKenzie get Geoffrion and his english roomate at that summer camp all messed up. What language did Geoffrion finally end up speaking since he went to camp to learn english as a fine french boy and came back unable to speak a word of french. My, what kind of a roommate did he have anyway?</p><p>Fern Labrosse. Ottawa, Ont.</p><h2><b>Far Western Fan</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Your paper is fine. But, I do have one criticism to make. The Pacific Coast isn&rsquo;t very well represented this season. So far all I&rsquo;ve seen is stuff from Stan Moher and all he ever writes about is the Edmonton Flyers. At least when Leo Ornest was your correspondent the whole league was well covered.</p><p>Other than that I think your paper is the greatest thing that ever hit the market. Keep up the good work.</p><p>Marjorie Shannon. Vancouver, B.C.</p><h2><b>Skov Story</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I have read stories about all the players in the league except the best rookie of the bunch &hellip; Glen Skov. Skov only played in 19 games last season and is therefore elegible for the Calder Memorial Trophy. He will win it in walkaway but lets find out something about him before he does. I thing Glen is the finest player to come into the NHL since Gordie Howe. He is even better than Del Vecchio in my opinion.</p><p>Please ask Marshall Dann to write a story on Glen &hellip; please.</p><p>Alice Sutherland. Detroit, Mich.</p><h2><b>Dussault &mdash; Where He?</b></h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I&rsquo;ve missed the most colorful little guy in the NHL ever since he parted from the League. Please tell me what has happened to little Normie Dussault who played with the Canadiens for so many seasons?</p><p>Does he still belongs to the Habs?</p><p>Also, how is Bob Dawes doing and who will he return to hockey?</p><p>Michael Rinfret. Montreal, Que.&mdash;</p><p><b>(Dussault was recently sold by the Montreal Senior Royals for whom he had been playing since he left the Canadiens to the Chicoutimi Sauganeens.

Or, rather, he talks to his players, but in such low tones that it sounds as though he were talking to himself. In this era of Freudian enlightenment everyone knows the dangers of repressing the emotions and we imagine this vocal exercise is what keeps the Rangers&rsquo; general manager out of the wacky house.</p><p>But what he had to say was illuminating. He identifies himself so closely with the players that when he makes a disparaging remark about them it seems to come out almost as self-criticism. For instance, early in the second period the Rangers had several chances to score but flubbed them because of poor shooting. Gaye Stewart, Paul Ronty and Wally Hergesheimer all had shots that were off the net.</p><p>&rsquo;Terrible, terrible,&rdquo; groaned Mr. Boucher. &ldquo;We couldn&rsquo;t put the puck in the ocean.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>The Stream of Consciousness</b></h2><p>We asked him about Hymie Buller, the defenseman the Rangers Shelled out considerable money for to the Cleveland Barons. He started to say something to the effect that Buller was coming along all right when Elmer Lach carried the puck over the blueline and Rocket Richard came steaming in from right wing.</p><p>&ldquo;Watch Richard, he&rsquo;s in on you,&rdquo; Mr. Boucher muttered while Buller knocked the puck off Elmer&rsquo;s stick and half fell doing it. &ldquo;Come on Hymie, you&rsquo;re playing like an old woman. Give it up to him, give it up to him.&rdquo; Then, as Buller recovered his balance and passed to Jackie McLeod near the blueline: &ldquo;That&rsquo;s it, that&rsquo;s it.</p><p>McLeod stood still momentarily, looking for a teammate to pass to, which set Mr. Boucher off again.</p><p>&ldquo;Move with it, move with it.&rdquo; he exhorted. &ldquo;Never mind trying to pass it.&rdquo;</p><p>A minute later Ross Lowe made a determined rush, but Charlie Rayner turned his shot wide. The puck bounced around loose, which caused Mr. Boucher several moments of agony.</p><p>&ldquo;Somebody get it,&rdquo; he groaned; then, as Edgar Laprade grabbed the rubber: &ldquo;That&rsquo;s It, Edgar, get it out of there.&rdquo;</p><p>Laprade, trapped in a corner, made a random pass that Doug Harvey intercepted.</p><p>&ldquo;Isn&rsquo;t that awful?&rdquo; Mr. Boucher asked himself. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re giving the puck away.&rdquo;</p><p>The siren shrieked the end of the period. The Rangers were two goals in arrears and Mr. Boucher looked a bit baffled and a bit desperate.</p><p>&ldquo;If you&rsquo;ll excuse me,&rdquo; he said courteously, &ldquo;I think I&rsquo;ll go to the dressing room. I&rsquo;ll be back for the last period.&rdquo;</p><h2>One Less Than Promised</h2><p>He seemed more cheerful when he resumed his seat as the final period got under way.</p><p>&ldquo;They say they&rsquo;re going to get three this period,&rdquo; he told us, but they won&rsquo;t get &rsquo;em the way they&rsquo;ve been playing.&rdquo;</p><p>Jack Evans, one of the Blueshirts&rsquo; defensemen, drew a tripping penalty and the Rangers prepared to kill it off.</p><p>&ldquo;Come on, we&rsquo;re behind,&rdquo; pleaded Mr. Boucher. &ldquo;Go in there and get the puck. There&rsquo;s no use waiting.&rdquo;</p><p>When the teams were even again. Boom Boom Geoffrion skated in on the Rangers&rsquo; goal and fell to the ice after colliding with Frankie Eddolls. The latter was penalized.</p><p>&ldquo;Oh, no,&rdquo; commented Mr. Boucher. &ldquo;The guy knocked himself down.&rdquo; Then Ross Lowe and Paul Ronty bumped into each other and Ronty went down. Lowe was given the finger and Mr. Boucher grinned. &ldquo;He took a dive all right, but he got away with it. That makes us even.&rdquo;</p><p>Both teams were playing cautiously now, which was too much for Mr. Boucher.</p><p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re behind,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;You might as well gamble.&rdquo;</p><p>Doug Harvey was put off for holding, which gave the Rangers a one-man advantage and heartened their general manager. But he sounded irritated when Gaye Stewart lost the puck going in over the blueline.</p><p>&ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t you let somebody carry the puck who can carry it?&rdquo; he grumbled.</p><p>The Rangers scored while Harvey was still off and they scored a couple of minutes later when the sides were even. The count was knotted.</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s two of them,&rdquo; he exulted. &ldquo;They said they were going to get three.&rdquo;</p><p>But his happiness was short-lived. Back on the ice, Doug Harvey rushed brilliantly and Charlie Rayner had to move fast to save. The rebound came out to Bert Olmstead and he tapped it into the net.</p><p>&ldquo;That Harvey is a hell of a hockey palyer &mdash; when he wants to be,&rdquo; Mr. Boucher commented sadly. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s beaten us again. I sure wish we had him.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Playing the Field

<div class="byline">By DANA MOZLEY</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>In the aftermath of a losing Ranger weekend, the shuttle service between New York and Cincinnati was going full blast and there was no indication of a stoppage. Eddie Kullman was recalled from the American Hockey League farm while Zellio Toppazzini and rookie defenseman Jim Ross were sent down. A few days later the Broadway Blades reached down for another forward, 20-year-old Herb Dickenson.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02179/1307295-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="265" height="417"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Nick Mickoski</b></figcaption></div><p>Behind these moves was an obvious undercurrent of dissatisfaction over several individual cases. One concerned big Nick Mickoski, who was last year the Rangers&rsquo; only 20-goal scorer. Nick was in a slump and he was pressing and the crowd got on him, and there was no way out except to bench him and hope he could regain his poise and confidence.</p><p>It was pointed out that Mickoski was equally ineffective in the early stages last season. Then, as now, he had scored only three goals in the first 15 games. If there was any difference, it was in the attitude of the fans. They were now singling him out for censure and obviously, in his desire to muffle the cacaphony, he was too often ahead of a play and skating offside. All of which only added to his embarrassment.</p><p>Nor was Ed Slowinski, who plays the opposite flank with Bones Raleigh at center, measuring up to expectations either. Slowinski seemed able to play only in streaks. He had scored only one goal while adding five assists in the first 15 games.</p><p>Dickenson, with a record of nine goals in 17 Cincinnati games his first year of pro hockey, came up ostensibly to fill in for Mickoski, but there was no assurance given by Manager Frank Boucher that this switch would be anything more than a temporary measure.</p><p>&ldquo;We know this kid,&rdquo; he said of Dickenson, &ldquo;can shoot the puck. We also know that Buddy O&rsquo;Connor has done a good job of feeding him in Cincinnati. Whether Dickenson&rsquo;s shooting and hard work will offset his inexperience, only time will tell.&rdquo;</p><p>Ross&rsquo; demotion reduced the defense corps to five, and thus provided more work for the men with the club. This was regarded as a reprieve for Jack Evans, who hadn&rsquo;t shown well. As Coach Neil Colville figured: &ldquo;Maybe we were judging him on an unfair basis. Maybe he wasn&rsquo;t getting enough work. Now he&rsquo;ll get it and we shall see.&rdquo;</p><p>So, too, was Ross in Cincinnati, and the feeling was prevalent that if Evans did not improve and that if Ross impressed the Mohawks as convincingly as he did in his debut appearance, then the two players would hit the shuttle once again at the end of Ross&rsquo; two-week trial period in Cincinnati.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-03135/1307288-1-eng-US/f0007-032.jpg" title="f0007-03" width="544" height="561"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>Can Score</b></p><p><b>HERB DICKENSON</b></p></figcaption></div><p>Another source of annoyance was the apparent lack of stamina by Reggie Sinclair, who after a fast start, in which he scored five goals in seven games, suddenly tailed off. He was ordered to undergo a physical examination by team doctor V. A. Nardiello, and studies revealed a vitamin B-l deficiency in his diet. Reggie has since been getting B-l shots regularly.</p><p>There was also some grumbling over veteran goalie Chuck Rayner&rsquo;s inconsistency. He looked sharp in some games, then uncertain in others. On Nov. 18. while the Red Wings were drubbing the Rangers. 5-2, in New York, Rayner did not look good on a pair of goals scored by Gordie Howe from the left alley.</p><p>Rayner&rsquo;s goals - against record is the poorest in the League, but it must be remembered that (a) three goals were registered against the Rangers after Chuck had been pulled out and (b) he has been operating behind interchanging units of new defensemen.</p><h2>They Won&rsquo;t Give Up</h2><p>Despite these darker signs, there were loyalists who insisted this was a far superior Ranger team to the one that was iced a year ago. These supporters pointed to the record.</p><p>In 15 games last year, the Broadway Blades had managed just eight points. Now they had 11. The race from second on down was tightly drawn. Last year the first two places were practically settled one month after the season opened. This was also a much younger team, and a healthier one, than last year&rsquo;s &mdash; the only serious casualty being Jimmy Conacher, whose fractured right kneecap was wired and placed in a cast. He was not expected to be able to play before the middle of January, if then.</p><p>There were no sizzling sensations in the ranks, but one rookie, little Wally Hergesheimer, was proving to be a sound twoway right wing and an eager opportunist as well. He had scored five goals in the first six games on New York Ice, one more in Detroit, and was tied with Bones Raleigh for goal-getting honors on the club.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Fans Get On Mickoski’s Neck, Bench Him For Herb Dickenson

<p class="dropcap"><span>N</span>EW YORK &mdash; Rookie Herb Dickenson, called up from the Cincinnati Mohawks by the New York Rangers last month, didn&rsquo;t waste too much time in proving that he has what it takes to stay in the National Hockey League.</p><p>In his first game, against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday, November 21 In New York, he scored his first goal. Although the Rangers tied the game 3-3 they did take some measure of satisfaction out of the fact that he scored. Even more heartwarming was the fact that he played on a line with Raleigh and Slowinski and they accounted for two goals.</p><p>Dickenson scored at 3.48 of the second period to tie the game on passes from Slowinski and Raleigh,.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Dickenson Scores In His Initial Try In Big Loop

<div class="byline">By MARSHALL DANN</div><p>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>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.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03138/1307409-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="264" height="417"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Alex Delvecchio</b></figcaption></div><p>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 &mdash; seven regulars turned loose and five newcomers added to the lineup.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-04102/1307402-1-eng-US/f0008-042.jpg" title="f0008-04" width="265" height="402"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Fred Glover</b></figcaption></div><p>And what happened? The Wings rocketed away to an even faster start than the smart pace set by last year&rsquo;s club. Take a look at Detroit&rsquo;s standing at the 17-game mark for the two seasons:</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-0569/1307395-1-eng-US/f0008-052.jpg" title="f0008-05" width="814" height="132"></div><p>Those figures show each won 10 of the first 17 games. The current club has lost one less game, has scored two more goals and has the same smart defensive mark.</p><p>Detroit&rsquo;s winning record shines all the brighter when compared to its closest opposition, Toronto and Montreal, which have a fight to maintain a .500 average.</p><p>Only against Toronto have the Wings failed to compile a winning percentage. They have broken even with a victory, defeat and two ties in battle with the Maple Leafs.</p><p>Against Chicago it&rsquo;s two straight victories. Against Montreal, three victories and a tie. Against New York, two victories and a tie, and against Boston, two victories, a tie and the other defeat.</p><h2><b>Nine Straight Without Loss</b></h2><p>Some fancy streaks resulted. Detroit still hadn&rsquo;t lost on the road after nine games had been played on foreign ice. Six were victories and three were ties.</p><p>And at the 17-game pause, the Wings had alive a string of nine straight without defeat on any ice. This streak listed five victories and four ties, and earlier in the campaign they had another streak of four consecutive victories.</p><p>Where does the credit go?</p><p>Last season the answer was easier. You could point to the high-scoring Production Line of Sid Abel-Gordie Howe-Ted Lindsay, a solid defense built around Leo Reise, Red Kelly and Bob Goldham, and the excellent work of Terry Sawchuk in the nets.</p><p>This season the glory is being spread around a little more.</p><p>The Production Line is producing. It came up with 16 goals in the first 17 games, Howe getting half of those. This still is the most feared (and most effective) forward line in hockey.</p><p>But the other forwards are helping out more than before.</p><p>Especially have the rookies come through in glamorous style. For instance, Fred Glover ranked second on the squad in goal-getting with six. Glen Skov, an eligible Calder Trophy bidder since he played only 19 games a year ago, had five. Both of them topped veteran marksmen Lindsay and Abel, who had four each.</p><p>Coach Tommy Ivan has arranged his hand with a neat sense of balance. Metro Prystai has been centering the second line between Marty Pavelich and Glover, a combine good for 12 goals.</p><p>The other forward crew lists Alex Delvecchio, freshest of the freshmen, Glen Skov and either Tony Leswick or Vic Stasiuk on right wing. Together they have 11 goals.</p><p>Looking over that setup, there is an obvious conclusion that the Wings possess a happy knack of reaching into their reserve stockpile and coming up with NHL type material. And if they don&rsquo;t like what they get on the first grab, they can reach down again and find better.</p><p>As an example, this fall the Wilson brothers, Larry and John, were included with Glover, Skov and veteran Tony Leswick among the new forwards. When the Wilsons looked like they needed more seasoning, especially pepper, they were waved to Indianapolis in exchange for Delvecchio and StaBiuk. Those two clicked quickly.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-01237/1307388-1-eng-US/f0011-012.jpg" title="f0011-01" width="547" height="885"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b><i>Headaches!</i></b></p><p><b>AB DEMARCO</b></p></figcaption></div><p>And, as a note for the future, there still are more awaiting their chance. Remember the name Lou Jankowski. He&rsquo;ll be heard from about Christmas time.</p><p>In a smaller measure, the same fortunate results have been seen among the defensemen. Reise, Kelly and Goldham are as solid as ever. Joining them are Marcel Pronovost, who is off to has first full campaign in sound style, and Benny Woit, another brand-new yookie.</p><p>As for goaltending, one word tells all that need be said about that: Sawchuk. After another elbow operation over the summer, he&rsquo;s even better than before.</p><p>The injury factor should be mentioned. The Wings have been luckier than some of the clubs, for no one yet has suffered anything of the crippling variety. Yet they&rsquo;ve had their share of lost manpower.</p><p>Reise missed 11 games with an ankie operation which was slow to heal after becoming infected. Abel and Pavelich have missed some games, while Howe and Goldham were sidelined temporarily after minor mishaps.</p><p>The season is only one-quarter gone, and all this power might turn into a mirage. But there is considerable evidence that most of it is real. None can dispute that the Wings will be a strong challenger for a fourth straight NHL crown, and probably the favorite.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Wings’ Roadwork Puts Them In Better Light Than Year Ago

<div class="byline">By LEN BRAMSON</div><p>MONTREAL, Qeu.&mdash;</p><p>The Montreal Canadiens returned from what Coach Dick Irvin termed &ldquo;his worst road trip in 35 years&rdquo; this week and they returned with a problem. Where to get some scoring power in a hurry.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01239/1307357-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="292" height="450"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gerry Couture</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02184/1307350-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="286" height="444"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Cal MacKay</b></figcaption></div><p>The Habs played four games on the road while the Ice Capades took over their home ice. Of the eight possible points they could have garnered they came home with just one. Thev tied the Boston Bruins 3-3, coming from behind to do it. They then went to Chicago where the lowlv Hawks nearly frightened them out of their skates to the tune of 5-1. Then they hiked to Toronto where the Leafs scored two third period goals to beat them 4-2. Finally in New York the Blues took a 2-1 count from them.</p><p>In four games the Habs scored seven goals. That&rsquo;s an average of less than two per game. Of those seven goals Richard scored two and Lach netted two. Three goals were split amongst the other 13 players.</p><p>If that isn&rsquo;t a goal scoring problem then nobody else in the League has one.</p><h2><b>Penalties Haven&rsquo;t Helped</b></h2><p>Although few realize it, penalties have played a big part in many of the Habs&rsquo; losses this season. The Habs, who lead in the time spent department by a wide margin have had no fewer than ten goals scored against them when they were a man short. That&rsquo;s one in every two games since they had played just 20 games at this time. Of those games in which they were scored on while they were shorthanded they lost six and won two. The other goals were scored when the Leafs netted three on them one night while they were a man short.</p><p>That&rsquo;s one problem the Habs have. They also have others. Meger has scored one goal this season, Olmstead, while playing good hockey hasn&rsquo;t been getting any goals. The second line of Mosdell, Gamble and Curry has cooled off. Geoffrion has been playing indifferent hockey and that coupled with a definite shortage of centermen has put the Habs in a tough spot. For the Canadiens now find themselves sitting on the brink of fifth place. The Bruins and Hawks were just one point behind and the Bruins had two games in hand.</p><p>In an effort to get some scoring punch into the club the Canadiens replaced McCormack and Masnick with Couture and MacKay. The latter couple had been spending a two week stint to Buffalo where they helped the Bisons climb out of last spot into second In the eastern division of American league. MacKay scored six goals and two assists in his first eight games there.</p><p>Just how these two will fit in is unknown. Irvin may bench Meger in favor of MacKay using Paul to kill off penalties with Bill Reay. In. that event he would switch Couture to center with Geoffrion and MacKay.</p><p>MacKay, of course will have to start from scratch with the Habs. The fans in Montreal were on his neck in no mean manner before he left and unless he starts off with a bang then they may give him the rush act again.</p><p>The most criticized point of the club has been the defense. With Bouchard on the injured list it left the Canadiens with four defensemen, three of whom were in their second year in the League. Harvey was the veteran of the corps with Johnson, MacPherson and Lowe following.</p><p>While most observers have been critical of McNeil and the defense it must also be pointed out that the forwards haven&rsquo;t exactly been scoring too many goals. McNeil has been criticized for allowing soft long shots get past him regularly. So far this season he&rsquo;s allowed four &mdash; three to Detroit and one by Toronto.</p><p>Still, it would have made little difference for in each case the Habs never scored more than two goals anyway.</p><p>There has been talk of bringing Dickie Moore up from the Senior Royals where he has been starring. So far Moore has been the outstanding rookie in the fast Quebec Senior League. He Is leading the Royals in goal scoring.</p><p>If the Habs don&rsquo;t show an improvement by next weekend then another shakeup can be expected. An eye has been cast towards Stan Long, rookie defenseman in Buffalo whom Art Chapman, general manager of the Bisons calls his best defenseman to date.</p><p>Long, a graduate of the Barrie Flyers&rsquo; juniors played on the Pacific Coast with the Victoria Cougars last season.</p><p>Dollard St. Laurent of the Montreal Senior Royals has also been rumored as a possible candidate to take a defense spot with the Habs. But it&rsquo;s doubtful that the Canadiens would bring up two players.</p><p>Even in sending Masnick and McCormack to Buffalo Irvin hasn&rsquo;t solved his problem. He has more or less blamed two players who hardly saw action in any of the games on the disastrous road trip. Masnick has scored but one goal and an assist this season and had been used on occasion to spell off veteran Billy Reay between Geoffrion and Meger.</p><p>Current rumor around Montreal has Gerry McNeil and three or four other players being traded to the Chicago Black Hawks for Goaler Harry Lumley. But one Montreal spokesmen denied the deal and passed it off as a dream by some character. He didn&rsquo;t specify if it was a bad dream or not.</p><p>At any rate the Habs are still a well balanced team and a few less penalties would help.</p><p>When things go bad, as they have before they expect the pot shots to be taken at them. The only thing that ires them is they can&rsquo;t take pot shots back.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

When Obie O&rsquo;Brien, left winger 6f the No. 1 line, was sidelined with an arm injury, Norm &ldquo;Corky&rdquo; Corcoran, of last season&rsquo;s &ldquo;Kid&rdquo; trio, was pressed into service and he immediately caught fire.</p><p>Several nights later, when Jerry Toppazzini aggravated a groin injury and had to call it quits, O&rsquo;Brien returned to his post alongside Frank Mario and Jerry Brown, and Corcoran moved over to team up with Arnie Kullman and Sam Bettio.

McIntyre, who had won a berth with the Boston Bruins during training drills, suffered a broken collarbone during a pre-season tilt at the Sports Arena, and has been skating with the Bears in order to get back into condition. Crawford decided to press him into service when injuries wrecked his starting line.</p><p>The Bears, who were one of the two AHL clubs to sport a better than .500 road average last season, are again a better team on foreign ice than at home.

The Bears, alone of their Eastern brethren, won more games from the West than they have lost. Hershey&rsquo;s record was 4-3-1.

AMERICAN LEAQUE

<div class="byline">By IAN MacDONALD</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Any fears that Quebec Citadels of the Junior Amateur Hockey Association would be devoid of color this year since they lost their sensational young-center &mdash; Jean Marc Beliveau &mdash; were completely shattered by recent events. While the club itself is flying along on the wings of a nine game winning streak, threatening to break up the early season picnic that Montreal Canadiens and Nationales have been enjoying on top of the loop standing, the club management has erupted on a publicity seeking campaign.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-01223/1308085-1-eng-US/f0016-012.jpg" title="f0016-01" width="274" height="413"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Frank Byrne</b></figcaption></div><p>Fiery Phil Watson, seeking to establish himself more firmly in the hearts of the quick-tempered, hero-worshipping Quebec fans, let loose a blast at officials-of the St. Jerome club and of the League over incidents he claimed took place in St. Jerome on Sunday, November 19.</p><p>Claiming that after his left winger Bruce Cline was given a third period penalty in the game &ldquo;four thugs jumped him,&rdquo; Watson said he will not take his club into St. Jerome again unless given &ldquo;adequate protection.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;The police were co-operative all right, but for St. Jerome, and they conveniently held Cline while the fans were giving him a going over,&rdquo; Watson said.</p><p>&ldquo;From where I was sitting 1 could see the (St. Jerome) club president, and it looked to me as though he were giving orders. I&rsquo;m sure he wasn&rsquo;t trying to help Cline,&rdquo;</p><h2><b>President Isn&rsquo;t Worried</b></h2><p>However, all these complaints and threats to League president George &ldquo;Buster&rdquo; Horwood are meeting with very slight approval from the loop prexy who feels that the Citadels are either just seeking a lot of publicity or else covering up for their own behaviour the night before the alleged incident at St. Jerome.</p><p>For on the Saturday night with the same-squads playing in the Coliseum at Quebec, defenseman Jimmy Bartlett of the St. Jerome club got mixed up in a wild battle with Citadel Ralnor Makila which cost him major and 10-minute misconduct penalties.</p><p>With Makiia alreaay in the penalty box Bartlett went to climb in and the two went at each other again. Five special police constables forcibly escorted Bartlett to his dressing room and accord ing to the player &ldquo;twisted my arm and gave me several smacks across the face.&rdquo;</p><p>Horwood wrote a stern letter to the Quebec chief of police about the treatment handed Bartlett, reminding them that this was not the first time visiting players had been manhandled by Quebec gendarmes. Last spring in the playoffs between Canadiens and Quebec, Buck Hollingworth was forcibly led to his room by half a dozen Quebec police and when Frank Horan, then refereein-chief of the League, moved in to help the player he too was subjected to a jostling from the law.</p><h2><b>Byrne Hot, Horwood Sizzles</b></h2><p>Horwood reminded the chief that there are only supposed to be two policemen on duty behind the sinbin and he insisted that he wanted better treatment of visiting players.</p><p>Owner Frank Byrne of the Citadels took up his coach&rsquo;s case immediately and blasted the Lea-gue head for writing such a letter to the Chief without first hearing both sides.</p><p>Horwood announced that after hearing the reports of referees Aurel Turgeon and Lloyd Daniels he was satisfied of his case and wrote back to Byrne telling him so. He also told the Quebec head that his squad had better show up for their next engagement at St. Jerome or else.</p><p>&ldquo;It was a clear case of publicity seeking on the part of the Quebec Brass,&rdquo; concluded Horwood.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

PACIFIC COAST LEAQUE

<div class="byline">By HERB RALBY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>The Eastern Hockey League&rsquo;s accent on youth this year is paying dividends. The keenest array of youngsters to show in the loop in years is producing thrilling, entertaining hockey and attracting crowds to the rinks. With the exception of Boston, where all sports are having tough sledding, attendances have shown a steady increase.</p><p>Most notable is new Haven, where Ducky Skinner has his red hot Tomahawks fighting for first place in the Northern section. The other night the Hawks drew 3,200 fans, largest crowd in years to watch a hockey game in New Haven. In Springfield the pace-setting, crowdpleasing Indians have been averaging close to 4,000 fans. Springfield has always been a red-hot hockey town.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0018-01196/1308273-1-eng-US/f0018-012.jpg" title="f0018-01" width="270" height="421"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Skippy Burchell</b></figcaption></div><p>Philadelphia, despite the poor start of its Falcons, has drawn well with the fans increasing with each game. Washington, another city which has returned to hockey after an absence of a few years, likewise has attracted the crowd&rsquo;s fancy and is filling the Uline Arena to two-thirds capacity.</p><p>New York, which like Boston has suffered a lack of interest in recent years, is running slightly ahead of last year and with Lloyd Ailsby&rsquo;s hustling young club loaded with future major leaguers, is sure to continue to build up. Atlantic City is also ahead of last year&rsquo;s figures while Johnstown, away slowly, is gradually picking up to its last year&rsquo;s attendances.</p><h2><b>What&rsquo;s Drawing Fans?</b></h2><p>The colorful, hustling young players provide the answer there. Every club has at least one talented youngster on its roster. Vern Pachal, the 20-year-old sensation from Crow&rsquo;s Nest Pass, with Springfield and Skippy Burchell, the highly-regarded Montreal Canadiens&rsquo; prospect with Johnstown are right up among the leading scorers in their divisions. Springfield has several other good-looking youngsters in defensemen Don Perry and Bob Taylor and forwards Bill &ldquo;Squeaky&rdquo; Kodatsky and Pete Petrovich. Johnstown has two promising kids in Don Hall and Reggie Grigg.</p><p>Rovers are loaded with the best crop of young players the Rangers scouts have assembled in years. Standouts in this group are 20-year-old Herb Jeffrey from the Prince Albert Mintos and Jean Marie Plante from the Quebec Citadels. Jeffrey, a slick center, has proven the spark for the Broadway Red Shirts and is a cinch to move up to the parent club in a year or two. Plante, an all-star Quebec Junior league defenseman with the Cits last year, is said to be ready to move into a Ranger post this year.</p><p>Washington has a promising youngster in Bob Palmer while New Haven has a sharpshooting right winger in Al &ldquo;Bibber&rdquo; O&rsquo;Hearn, who played with St. Catharines&rsquo; Tee Pees last year and is the top scorer for the red-hot Hawks. Ducky Skinner also has three other good kids in Ted Powers, Ken Flynn and Court Malcolm.</p><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0018-02129/1308266-1-eng-US/f0018-022.jpg" title="f0018-02" width="1204" height="966"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b><i>Famous Inn Signs&hellip;&hellip;No.10</i></b></p><p><b>KING RICHARD II</b> used as his sporting emblem, a white hart with golden collar and the HART became yet another traditional English inn sign. Later in English history, eighteenth century soldiers returned from the Indian frontier to demand India Pale Ale &mdash; the &ldquo;real man&rsquo;s drink&rdquo; they had known there. Brewed to stand the long sea voyage to India, it had a special zest and character to it. And today those who still want a &ldquo;man&rsquo;s drink&rdquo; ask for Labatt&rsquo;s India Pale Ale &mdash; brewed to the original English recipe by John Labatt. &mdash; John Labatt Limited.</p></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>
