MORE ON QUAKERS Dear Sir: I would like to see a few more write-ups on our league the former P.C.H.L. I was sort of peeved to see that our Saskatoon Quakers didn’t get more publicity in your paper then they did. I can tell you they would give any team in the American league a darn good run for their money. Well another year is coming and maybe we. will get a little better publicity because last year our club came out on top. It is quite a feat after only our first year in pro hockey. Well I hope you keep up your good work as you have in the last two years. Saskatoon, Sask. Johnnie Halder * * * NOT ENOUGH ONTARIO Dear Sir, As the new hockey season draws close may I give you a bit…
Lynn Turns To Mackell In Experiment For 3rd Stringer Down Middle
HERSHEY. Pa.— Lynn Patrick, who as coach of the Boston Bruins has probably tried more players at different positions than any contemporary, is experimenting again. This time he is exploring the centering possibilities of Fleming Mackell, a 23-year-old with a crewcut who has played in seven Stanley Cup series. Mackell, a professional since 1947, has done most of his playing for pay at right wing, a position which he filled for the Bruins for the last three months of last season. But when the Bruins opened their training period at Hershey a couple of weeks ago, one of the first things Patrick did was shift Mackell one-third of the way across the ice, to center. He has been using him there since, and if the experiment stands up in exhibition games, the stocky native of…

Play was rough throughout the series and feelings ran high on numerous occasions. “You would have thought the Stanley Cup was at stake,” observed Sid Abel…Abel, the new Chicago coach, was extremely pleased with his team’s showing in the exhibition games and is only hoping they can fare as well against the Red Wings once the regular season starts. “If I can finish in fourth place this season I’ll be the happiest guy in the world,” the likeable Chicago coach stated…Abel figures the Hawks are fairly well balanced this term with the left wing position being the weakest section of the…

Four Juniors to Rangers Only GUELPH, Ont.—Four members of last season’s Guelph Biltmores, still eligible for Junior Hockey, are working out with New York Rangers and Guelph fans and hockey officials are greatly agitated lest the four jump directly into the NHL. Biltmore officials take the stand that the players should be permitted to finish out their junior careers before moving along to pro. The tour players in question are forwards Andy Bathgate, Dean Prentice and Ron Murphy and Defenceman Harry Howell. Biltmores would be strong contenders for the Memorial Cup again if they keep these four players. If they lose them, however they would be lucky to get out of their own league. So Biltmore officials are treating the Rangers experiment most frigidly. Frank Bouclter has assured the Biltmore club that the…
