Geoffrion Going for Right Wing on 2nd All-Star Team
MONTREAL — Bernie Boom Boom Geoffrion will be the first player other than Richard in many years to lead the Canadiens in goal scoring if and when he finish this season. Over the past seasons Richard has been the leader in the department but his injury has put him aside and Geoffrion has taken over. Geoff is presently tied with Richard with 25 goals and is second only to Howe in that department. “Remember this,” said General Manager Frank Selke, after the Canadiens had defeated the Hawks 7-0, “You are going for the right wing spot on that second All-Star team. It’s going to be tough I know, but it’s a wide open race,” he told Geoff. “It means $500 from the League and we double it.”…


“Krauts” for be Re-United for Schmidt, Dumart Night
BOSTON. Mass. — For one night this season the embattled Boston Bruins will sport the National League’s best line of the last 15 years, bar none ! That will be on the night of March 18 at Boston Garden, when with the Chicago Black Hawks as visitors the Kraut Line will skate again. For that one game the Bruins will spin the clock back a few years and the Black Hawks — and a probable capacity crowd — will have a look at Milt Schmidt, Woody Dumart and Bobby Bauer playing as a unit. The reunion of the Krauts, dissembled at the end of the 1946-47 season by Bauer’s retirement, will be one of the features of Schmidt-Dumart Night, when the two will be honored for their long and talented service to the Bruins. General…


THE FAN FORUM
In Reply Dear Sir, I have read your wonderful paper ever since I recevied my first copy in February, 1948, and after reading it four years I want to tell you it’s terrific. I am writing this letter in regard to three things said in the February 9th issue. First of all Mr. and Mrs. Marks of Chicago stated that Harry Lumley is the reason for Chicago’s basement position. Let me tell you Harry is a top-nocth goaltender and wonderful fellow. Maybe if Chicago acquired some defensemen (and a few more Mosienko’s) they’d get out of the cellar. Alfie Cautler stated that Wally Hergesheimer doesn’t rate with Bernie Geoffrion. Geoffrion has more color and a harder shot but Wally is definitely a better back-checker and is no slouch in scoring. Geoffrion may…


Richard Takes Florida Trip Against His Will
MONTREAL, Que.— Somewhere in Florida on this cold wintery day in Canada is a guy who is bathing in the cool blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, laying on the white sands of a sun baked beach and eating the best of foods—and it’s all on the house. But, believe it or not, he doesn’t like it one bit. He’s Maurice Richard and with him is Mrs. Richard. Where they are, only Senator Donat Raymond, Frank Selke and Dick Irvin know. This could turn out to be the best kept secret since George Ratterman came to Montreal with some well hidden talent as a football player—he too kept his talents a secret… The reason Richard doesn’t like being in Florida in March (and that’s the best time of year to be in Florida…
