Selke Will Deal Only to Benefit Club’s Strength
MONTREAL, Que.— When the Montreal Canadiens turned down that $25,000 offer by Chicago for defensen man Bud MacPherson, it did not mean they weren’t interested in making deals at the present time. It did mean, however, that the Habs are not interested in money, just players. In refusing the 25 G’s for MacPherson the Canadiens’ management decided to go along with a defense corps made up primarily of players who had carried the banner into action against the Detroit Red Wings In the playoffs last season and came out victorious.

In fact, the situation is so precarious for both teams at the moment that they may find themselves having a difficult time grabbing that last playoff berth, so hot are Sherbrooke and Shawinigan. “I can’t understand it,” remarked Big Bill recently. “The boys are trying just as hard out there, but everything seems to be going against us.
