The Perfect Combination-Quality! Freshness! Price!
The Perfect Combination… …Kennedy, Smith, Stewart Toronto’s line of Captain Ted Kennedy, Sid Smith and Rookie Ron Stewart played the role of perfect combination in the game last week when they accounted for four Leaf goals and the same number of assists.

Smelle Bros To Stay With Braves After CAHA Claimed Decision
MONTREAL, Que.— The resurgence of the Montreal Royals, the early failures of last season’s champions, and Alexander Trophy custodians, a wrangle over a brother act and suspension of Ted Hodgson, Shawinigan Falls rearguard were chief conversational subjects in the Quebec Senior hockey league with action boiliing into the third week of the schedule. Under Pete Morin, peppery little coach, the Royals are showing signs of reclaiming the purple toga befitting their name as they keep driving along in front of the pack. Following a successfull invasion of Northern Quebec in which they humbled Quebec Aces 7-3 and Chicoutimi Saguenays 4-2 on successive nights the Montrealers returned to Forum ice and humbled Shawinigan Falls Cataracts 5-2 with Phil Samis, the Edmonton born pre-dental student at McGill sparking the attack in a three goal…

Reams of copy have been written about his so-called Simon Legree attitude towards his players. Some of it is true, the rest exaggerated. All his life, Shore has played the tough guy—give no quarter, ask none. But at times, he’s shown himself to be as big hearted as all outdoors. He’s been known to argue for days on end…
Back in High Gear
Max Returns To Work The return of Max Bentley, who has missed training camp and the opening Leaf games, presents another poser. Conn Smythe intimated that Bentley would fill in for Hassard but bounding Bob has been doing such a creditable job so far that he’ll be a hard man to knock out too. Bentley, it’s likely, will be more of an asset as a point man on the power play or as a fill-in centre. He can usually be counted on to Stir up something. Defensively the Leafs are ironing out problems. Fern Flaman, a bonecrusher with Boston and in his first year with the Leafs, has reverted to his old manners after a spell of avoiding penalties last season. The effect of that transition was most noticeable in the Detroit…
