‘Never Knew It Felt Like This’ Says Gatherum Alter Shutout
DETROIT, Mich.— Out of all the players milling around in the Detroit Red Wing dressing room, you couldn’t help noticing one, more of a schoolboy to the eye than a full-fledged professional hockey man, wwho blubbed merrily in one of thebusiest corners, clutching his pads to him. “What a feeling,” Dave Gatherum beamed, “I never dreamed it would be like this. Gosh, what a feeling.” “The feeling,” as curly-headed, baby-faced Dave exclaimed, is a sensation old in the annals of hockey but very new indeed to young Gatherum, who had just helped the Wings shut out the Toronto Maple Leafs, 4-0. Only 24 hours earlier he had been preparing to open the Quebec Senior League season with Sherbrooke Saints. Instead!, there he sat in a Cinderella daze after bursting the bubble of a Leaf…

MacKenzie Slams Door on Dorohoy, Claims Extra Dough Out of Question
NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C.— Co-owner Ken MacKenzie of the New Westminster Royals announced the indefinite suspension of Ollie Dorohoy Oct. 9, 24 hours after the veteran wniger balked at terms for the 1953-54 season. MacKenzie, who signed most of his players Oct. 7, said Dorohoy demanded an $800 raise over last season. “I offered him the same terms as last season,” said MacKenzie. “Dorohoy said ‘nothing doing.’ The price Ollie is asking is too rich for most clubs in the league, including mine.” Dorohoy, who was 30-years-old last August, scored 18 goals and added 30 asissts last season when the Royals finished a poor sixth in the Western Hockey League. He was fourth highest scorer on the team behind Gordon Fashoway, Max McNab and Gerry Cabana. The Royals played their opening game Oct. 7…
