THE FAN FORUM
Ranger Fan Club Dear Sir, Your Fan Forum has been publishing a great many letters lately that indicate fans want a pen pal or trading post department. I agree with Roger Dubour, who in the October 31 issue expressed the opinion that reading space should not be taken up by a fans’ pawnshop. As it is, we do not get the complete standings in each league every week. However, I feel that many fans would profit by getting in touch with us and joining our fan club, because one of the services we provide in our publication, The Ranger Review, is a pen pal corner through which club members can advertise their wants in the way of trading material, programs, snaps, etc., or find pen pals with similar interests with whom to correspond.

Trading Post Had Nothing On This! Westerners Juggle Six In One Day
VANCOUVER, BC— Western Hockey League clubs had their busiest day of the season November 4 with no less than six players changing teams.

Ivan The Terrible, Rangers’ New Ching Johnson
NEW YORK, N.Y.— The modern Ching Johnson broke in with a bang and a boo. Ivan (The Terrible) Irwin, it seems, did all that was asked of him when he hit and harassed ‘em so well that the Canadien fans hollered and the Rangers ALMOST won their first game in Montreal in two years. Recalled in a hurry from Vancouver to replace Allan Stanley in the New York defense, the 26-year-old Irwin played his first game with the Broadway Babies on Nov. 5. And, although the Rangers blew a 3-1 lead in the final period to lose, 4-3, Irwin sparkled in the town where he played his first four NHL games as a wide-eyed rookie a year ago. “Irwin had them all crazy in Montreal,” coach-manager Frank Boucher verified later. “Before the game…
