Lum Watching The Fun

<div class="byline">By DAVE FAUNCE</div>PITTSBURGH, Pa.&mdash;Coach Aldege (Baz) Bastien, with a big assist from Clarence (Happy) Day, right hand bower of Conn Smythe of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has been shaking up his Pittsburgh Hornets a bit more than somewhat in recent weeks.The Hornets, American Hockey League and Calder Cup champions two years ago, and second in both categories last season, got off to a slow start this season, and while they clung to second place most of the time throughout the first six weeks of the season, Bastien was dissatisfied with the lack of scoring punch on the right side.In 17 games played thus far, only four goals have been scored by right wings.In his first move to do something about it, he sent Bob Sabqurin, a right wing, and Bill Burega, rookie defenseman, to Turk Broda&rsquo;s Senators at Ottawa. In exchange he received Jack LeClair, a general handy-man up front who has played all three positions.<h2>Break Jinx</h2>That move was made after LeClair, center of a controversy regarding his eligibility in the Quebec League, had been returned to Toronto. Jack, playing on a line centered by Willie Marshall and with Eart Balfour on left wing, scored a goal against Cleveland when the Hornets finally broke a jinx the Barons had held over them by winning, 3-2, Nov. 18. That was the fourth goal of the season by a right-winger.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-04163/1674232-1-eng-US/f0012-042.jpg" title="f0012-04" width="496" height="512"><figcaption class="caption-body">Helping HandHAP DAY</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Hornets Shaken Up, Jolt Does ‘em Good

<div class="byline">By FRANK BIRD</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0014-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01366/1674461-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg"></div>LETHBRIDGE, Alta.&mdash;The 19-year-old starry center iceman of the Moose Jaw Canucks of the Western Junior Hockey League, Freddy Sasakamoose, has received his chance to crash the Big Top.The four-year Canuck Junior left Moose Jaw November 15th for a two-game tryout with the Chicago Black Hawks of the NHL. He&rsquo;s appeared in a Hawk sweater against the Boston Bruins on the 20 th and against the Maple Leafs on the 22nd.Sasakamoose was named Chief Running deer last year by an Alberta Tribe in a very impressive ceremony during a clash in Edmonton between the Oil Kings and the Canucks.He was born on the Big River Indian Reserve, 100 miles Northwest of Prince Albert. Saskatchewan, and got his start in hockey at the Duck Lake Indian School.The Chief played has first game of hockey at the tender age of eight years but he didn&rsquo;t play organized hockey until he turned midget. I can remember watching Sasakamoose when he played midget and even then he was a deft stickhandler and a terrific skater.<h2>Skates Like a Deer</h2>He skates like his name implies, &ldquo;like a deer,&rdquo; and he has a powerful shot from either wing. Sasakamoose learned to skate and stick-handle while chasing a single puck with some 50 other Indian lads on an outdoor rink with the temperature sometimes down in the 30 below regions.Four years ago he attended the All-Canada Hockey School In Moose sponsored by George Vogan, President of the Canuck Hockey Club. He was successful in making the team and has starred with the Canucks of the WJHL since.He is currently second In scoring in the Western Loop: just a few points behind league leader Normie Ullman of the Edmonton Oil Kings. It could be that Freddy Sasakamoose, first full blooded Indian In the NHL, will become the Chief Medicine Man for the Chicago Black Hawks. &#9632;

After Four Years as Moose Jaw Stalwart Sasakamoose Has Big Chance to Crash NHL

<div class="byline">By DANA MOZLEY</div><h2>Boucher Praises Work Of Youthful Forward</h2>NEW YORY, N.Y.&mdash;In their failure to edge over the hump between victory and defeat, the Rangers have little to be thankful for at this point in another disastrous season. There is one exception, however. They are fortunate to have the one thing that is almost as small as their win total &mdash; a center from Quebec City named Camille Henry.The slight, muscleless rookie, who has played a major part in ths team&rsquo;s attack as a spare forward, might well have been lopped off the squad in training camp. None one expected him to make the club when he reported, end few thought he&rsquo;d be retained when the exhibition tour started.But manager Frank Boucher, in his new role as coach, saw something he liked in the 20-year-old youngster. He thought he&rsquo;d keep Henry around for awhile, at least through the exhibitions, so he could get a closer look. Even that extra examination came to no conclusion. Boucher was still undecided on Henry&rsquo;s fate when the season began, but Camille has since solidified a permanent status.No doubt about it, Henry has been producing as a Ranger. Although he&rsquo;d missed two of the team&rsquo;s first 19 games and although his part-time job offered only an average of nine minutes play a game, he was the fourth leading scorer. Only Wally Hergesheimer had more goals (6) than Henry&rsquo;s five, and only Paul Ronty (13), Hergy (11) and Bones Raleigh (10) had more total points than Henry&rsquo;s nine.Working on power plays and also as temporary relief for Max Bentley at center, Henry had the best goals-for and goals-against record of any Ranger center-ice man. While he had been on the Ice, the Broadway Babies had scored 12 times and had but seven goals scored against them.Ths anemic-looking rookie, first Quebec province Frenchman to become a Ranger regular since Phil Watson, isn&rsquo;t physically set up to be a major leaguer. Not only is he the lightest player in the league, at a weight ranging between 135 and 141 pounds, but he also lacks skating speed.<h3>Has Hockey Sense</h3>What Henry does have, though, is an uncanny hockey sense. He can stick handle, he can shoot and he always does the right thing at the right time.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01317/1673412-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="554" height="1149"><figcaption class="caption-body">SniperCAMILLE HENRY</figcaption></div>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s another Buddy O&rsquo;Con nor,&rdquo; Boucher says. &ldquo;Not fast, but real clever. A heads-up player. He&rsquo;s a good dodger and is seldom hit. But they still work him over occasionally, and he can take it. That&rsquo;s the most surprising thing of all &mdash; the way he takes it and doesn&rsquo;t get hurt.&rdquo;The Quebec alumnus, a high-scoring junior for the past three years with the Citadels, was one of the few items Boucher didn&rsquo;t have to worry about this week. His main concern was how to keep the opposition from catching and passing the Rangers in the last 20 minutes.In the nine of those first 19 games, ths Rangers blew six leads and three ties which they had at the end of two periods. Had they been playing 40-minute hockey, those extra 15 points added to the 14 they actually earned would have zoomed them right into first place. Montreal, at the time, was leadnng 28 points.Boucher blames this sad state of affairs on inexperience. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got a lot of kids this season,&rdquo; he points out. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re improving all the time and, if I&rsquo;m patient enough, I&rsquo;m sure we&rsquo;ll soon begin to win these tight games we&rsquo;ve been losing. I Just hope the players don&rsquo;t lose heart.<h2>Not Fast, But Clever Says Blueshirt Coach</h2>&ldquo;The first thing that comes to your mind when you&rsquo;re losing is: who&rsquo;s fault it is? There have been many games I couldn&rsquo;t fault any particular player. They were just overpowered.<h3>They&rsquo;re No Better&rdquo;</h3>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got lots of good young forwards out West,&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;I could bring them in. But they&rsquo;re no better, or not as good as the young ones we have here. So why make a change, just for the sake of making a change?&ldquo;What our young players need is experience. They won&rsquo;t get it out West. They&rsquo;re getting it right here. It may be a painful process, but if we&rsquo;re patient enough, we&rsquo;re going to edge over that hump sometime this season.&rdquo; ICE CHIPS&hellip;Raleigh needs but two more points to step up into the first 10 among all-time Rangers. He now has 232 for his eight-season career. Ahead of him are Boucher (413), Bill Cook (366), Bryan Hextail (362), Watson (360), Lynn Patrick (335), Bunn Cook (293), Cecil Dillon (281), Neil Colville (265), Edgar Laprade (259) and Nobby Warwick (233).Billy McCreary and Chick Chalmers, Guelph forwards, were given a one-game pro trial in Toronto, Nov. 21. Boucher was particularly impressed by the former, whom he thinks will be ready for the NHL next season. &hellip; Area over Paul Ronty&rsquo;s left eye seems to draw sticks like a magnet this year. The 10 stitches taken to close a gaping wound thereafter contact with Ted Lindsay&rsquo;s stick, Nov. 22, runs the total to 16 In three accidents.Rookie defenseman Bob Chrystal lost 10 days with bruised kidney &hellip; Rangers aren&rsquo;t happy with Red Storey&rsquo;s offlating In recent games. Claim he calls plays one way In Toronto and Montreal and another way, elsewhere. And what&rsquo;s worse, they have him more than any other referee. He has worked eight of their first 19 games, to live for Frank Udvari, four for Bill Chadwick and two for Jerry Olinski. &#9632;

The Wings, made his return a memorable one by stemming 18 goals past him in less than 24 hours to get some sort of a record.Gelineau relieved Marois after the latter took a 6-3 pasting from Canadiens last Thursday night. In his first outing in Black Hawk regalia, the Red Wings erupted to crush the Hawks, 9-0 with Gelineau the victim.A little shaken, but determined to do a little better in the return engagement the following night in Chicago, Gelineau wached the Wings blast five goals into his cage in the first period. They extended the count to 7-1 at the end of the second and rounded out the unpleasant evening by adding two more in the final frame to win the game, 9-4. &#9632;

Gelineau’s Nightmare Haunted By Red Wings

MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;In these days of multiple miracle drugs, there&rsquo;s one new formula that hasn&rsquo;t been receiving too much publicity &mdash; the one that&rsquo;s working wonders with the defensemen in the National Hockey League.If you take a close look at the NHL individual scoring statistics on page nine of your HOCKEY NEWS, you&rsquo;ll notice that the headline-hunting forwards are being forced to share the limelight with the tireless toilers of the back division this year.For years, the rearguards had little to look forward to since most of the individual trophies presented by the league were usually in competition for the forwards and goalkeepers. However, this year that slight omission was taken care of when Jim, Bruce and Marguorite Norris put up the James Norris Memorial Trophy, to perpetuate the memory of their late father.The National Hockey League added a cash inducement of $1000.00 to go with the trophy and thus started the most prolific scoring bee among defensemen in years.Red Kelly of Detroit, always one of the top goal scoring rearguards, forged to the front, picking up nine goals and ten assists in the first 22 games, to tie for fourth place in the NHL scoring column with Boston&rsquo;s Eddie Sand ford.Bill Gadsby, the captain and leading scorer of the Chicago Black Hawks, wasn&rsquo;t far behind with eight goals and nine assists in 25 games, to take over sixth place in the list.And not too far behind came Toronto&rsquo;s Jim Thomson, Canadiens Doug Harvey, Toronto&rsquo;s Tim Horton, Montreal&rsquo;s Tom Johnson, Rangers&rsquo; Hy Buller, Chicago&rsquo;s Gus Mortson and Boston&rsquo;s Frank Martin with 12, 11, 11, 10, 9, 8 and 7 points respectively.At the rate they&rsquo;re going, two-long-standing records for rearguards could be eclipsed this year.Last year Kelly fell a goal short of tying the Flash Hollett record of 20 goals in a single season set in 1944-45. This year, with 48 games still to play, ths Redhead needs but 11 goals to tie the mark.Another record that could be changed this year is the 57 points racked up in a single season by defenseman Babe Pratt in 1943-44, when the Babe was cavorting for the Toronto Maple Leafs. &#9632;

Kelly and Gadsby Setting Hot Pace For Norris Trophy

That&rsquo;s HN co-publisher Ken McKenzie, right, who made the presentation and the gent on the left is Bob Elson, play-by-play broadcaster of the Chicago home games.</figcaption></div>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;Maybe the Red Wings aren&rsquo;t going to be a &ldquo;one-line team&rdquo; the entire season after all.For a while this was the case. The Production Line of Dutch Reibel-Gordie Howe-Ted Lindsay plus Defenseman Red Kelly were packing virtually all the scoring punch.That quartet accounted for 21 of Detroit&rsquo;s first 32 goals. Lindsay made six, Howe, Reibel and Kelly five each.Which was a whirlwind start for them, but It didn&rsquo;t say much for the other Detroit players. That big-line power kept the Wings snapping at Montreal&rsquo;s heels, even though it wasn&rsquo;t the sign of a healthy well-balanced hockey team.Lately there have been signs of an awakening as other forwards began to find the range. In the last five games &mdash; and the Wings won four of those &mdash; it was the others who made 10 of the 13 goals.<h2>Wilson, Dineen Pace Comeback</h2>Johnny Wilson and Bill Dineen are pacing the comeback of the two other lines. Each got three goals in those five games, while Metro Prystai, Glen Skov, Vic Stasiuk and Alex Delvecchio added singles.Detroit even won a couple of games in which the Production Line was blanked &mdash; something that never had happened before. New York was the victim both htimes, and by 3-2 scores after exciting third-period rallies. Unfortunately &mdash; for the Rangers &mdash; both games came in Madison Square Garden,The first time the Rangers were leading, 1 to 0, going into the third period when Skov, Stasiuk and Prystai all clicked with a stretch of eight minutes.The next time New York was carrying a 2-0 lead with 21 minutes left. Then Wilson hit twice and Dineen added the winner.In between there were such unusual events, on the basis of what had been happening before this season, as Wilson scoring the opener to start off a 4-1 decision over New York, and Dineen and Delvecchio clicking to offset a 2-0 Boston advantage before Howe added the winning goal in a 3-2 game.No question but what Jack Adams and Tommy Ivan are breathing a little easier. They already knew that they had a great line in the Reibel-Howe-Lindsay combination, and they also knew that they needed more in order to make a sound bid for a sixth straight National Hockey League title.Now it seems to be coming.In Wilson&rsquo;s case a recovery from a solw start was anticipated. The blond Windsor (Ont.) native was the club&rsquo;s third leading goalscorer last season with a total of 23 and Ivan figured that Johnny would approach that count again. He&rsquo;s up to five now.But any unusual contributions from Dineen looms as strictly a bonus. This being his first year as a pro, the silent youngster from Toronto St. Mike&rsquo;s was slated for grooming In the minors until his strong showing at training camp.Adams and Ivan were so impressed with his &ldquo;at home&rdquo; appearance in trials with the varsity that they brought him along as a spare forward when the season opened. He was.one of three right wingers bidding for a single regular spot.Now he has scored six goals, just one less than Howe, and the surprising part is that he still isn&rsquo;t a regular. Dineen has worked on three different lines, two of them as a right winger plus emergency duty at center on the Production Line, That was after Reibel suffered a leg injury and had to be benched.It was particularly significant that Dineen was chosen as the replacement. The Wings tried six different centers between Howe and Lindsay last year and some of them were available now when Reibel needed a rest. But Dineen got the chance and never looked out of place for a second.Finding a regular spot for Dineen is one of Ivan&rsquo;s problems now. But it&rsquo;s such a pleasant problem. Tommy just wishes he had more like that. &#9632;

Wings “Other” Forwards Starting To Find Range

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;Doug &ldquo;Diesel&rdquo; Mohns has been a member of the Boston Bruins less than two months, but already he has earned Lynn Patrcik&rsquo;s nomination of a player of distinction.Patrick believes that his 19-year old rookie forward is the fastest skater in the National league.&ldquo;He&rsquo;s the fastest skater on our team and I don&rsquo;t believe theer&rsquo;s a player in the league he can&rsquo;t beat,&rdquo; maintained the Bruins&rsquo; coach.&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not saying he&rsquo;s the fastest puck-carrier in the league. I&rsquo;m speaking of sheer skating speed. I&rsquo;ll match him against anyone in a straight race.&rdquo;Pressed on the possibility of matching the streamlined Mohns against potential opponents like Montreal&rsquo;s Paul Meger and Chicago&rsquo; Bill Mosienko, Patrick pleaded lack of jurisdiction.&ldquo;In baseball they never would let Bobby Thomson of the New York Giants race Sam Jethroe of the Braves,&rdquo; he pointed out. &ldquo;Maybe the practice is frowned on in hockey, too.

Jerry Toppazzini, 22-year old member of the Boston Bruins, Is a. youngster who does things on a grand scale.Toppazzini, called up from Hershey early last month as the replacement for injured Real Chevreflls, failed to score in his first four games with the Bruins.Then in the fifth game, with the New York Rangers, Toppazsini scored three for the &ldquo;hat trick&rdquo;, the first in the league this season.Toppazzini&rsquo;s triple was the first by a Bruin since January 24 of last season, when the Rangers also provided the Bruins&rsquo; opposition. The formulator that time? Why Toppazzini, to be sure! &#9632;

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;Nowhere fast Seems to be the destination of the current band of Chicago Black Hawks; but hopes for a brighter future sprang up lustily recently with the impressive two-game trial showing of &ldquo;Chief Running Deer&rdquo; Fred Sasakamoose, the first full-blooded Indian to ever lace on skates in the National Hockey League.Fred, a 19-year old ambidextrous center, showed considerable class for a junior amateur debuting in big time company.He displayed plenty of aggressiveness and surprisingly alert use of his stick. General Manager Bill Tobin would have a colorfully Improved team with several youngsters of his type.A member of the Cree tribe of the Duck Lake region of Saskatchewan, Sasakamoose underwent the full treatment in publicity and exploitation before and during his Chicago stay with apparently no damaging effects. He was interviewed four times on radio and TV while having never before even seen the latter.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03255/1673250-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="280" height="430"><figcaption class="caption-body">Fred Sasakamoose</figcaption></div>The Chief, as he was quickly tabbed, played on lines with virtually all of the Black Hawks wingers as Coach Sid Abel continued a vain search for some real scoring combinations. This did not prevent him, however, from coming close to netting several goals and assists.His best chance, really a success on his part, almost led to a counter against Toronto in his second game. Fred took a pass from Catpt Bill Gadsby and fired sharply directly across the mouth of Harry Lumley&rsquo;s cage. Gadsby, top Chicago point-getter to date, swooped in, but missed a slap at the puck by inches.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-04199/1673243-1-eng-US/f0002-042.jpg" title="f0002-04" width="293" height="448"><figcaption class="caption-body">Tiny Thompson</figcaption></div>And how did Sasakamoose feel about his first fling in the NHL? &ldquo;It was tougher than junior competition &hellip; I liked it though, I think &hellip; I didn&rsquo;t get any butterflies,&rdquo; he told a barrage of newspapermen as he adjusted a bright necktie that probably would have delighted his ancestors.The Chief was accompanied from Moose Jaw, where he has starred with the Canucks for the past three years, by Cecil &ldquo;Tiny&rdquo; Thompson, the former Boston netminding star that is now Chicago&rsquo;s chief talent hunter in western Canada. Tribal law decreed that he have a guardian on the trip. Thompson proved himself as high as anyone on Fred&rsquo;s future in professional ranks. He&rsquo;s still green, but should ! definitely make the Hawks next season. I figure he&rsquo;ll improve another 20 percent during the rest of the schedule at Moose Jaw. He got 12 goals and eight assists in the first nine games there this fall.&rdquo;Thompson added that Sasakamoose had a scoring record of 68 points in 50 games with the Canucks last season and went on to say, &ldquo;We have a linemate of his that&rsquo;s an even better skater. His name is Wally Blaisdell and I wouldn&rsquo;t be, a bit surprised to see him up here soon for a tryout.&rdquo; &#9632;

The Boomer was returning home from hockey trip while Power was heading for Montreal to take part in the play &ldquo;John Brown&rsquo;s Body.&rdquo;</figcaption></div>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Ever since Maurice Richard came into the National Hockey League, blazing a hare-and-hounds trail of goals with his devastating shot, Canadiens&rsquo; firepower has been concentrated on the right wing.And now with Bernie Geoffrion, firing his blazing drives with increased efficiency, also looming as a potential all-star, the Habs right wing strength Is more apparent than ever.It could be that the Habs will produce two 30-goal scorers this season &mdash; Richard and Geoffrion &mdash; and that both for them will give Gordie Howe a battle for that right wing berth on the NHL all-star team.&ldquo;Two 30-goal scorers?&rdquo; mused Coach Dick Irvin the other day. &ldquo;Well, could be but both Richard and Geoffrion will have to regain their shooting eyes on the road.&rdquo;At this writing both of them have scored nine goals, tops in the NHL but they have only scored once each on the road, leaving them far behind last season&rsquo;s foreign ice output.In the full 1952-53 campaign Richard scored 28 goals, evenly divided between home and the road; Geoffrion bagged 22 tallies, in the familiar confines of the Forum and seven on the ice of rival clubs.Both Richard and Geoffrion have scored 30 goals before but never have they attained that mark in the same season.The Boomer was a 30-goal man In 1951-52, his first full season in the league and he wound up by winning the Calder Trophy as the most valuable rookie against probably the best crop of carefully nurtured young puckchasers in the history of the big loop.But the Rocket, plagured by a mysterious stomach ailment that season, had only 27 goals. Had he not missed 22 games he too would have had 30 goals or more.Both these ripht wing stars have the advantage of being on the ice for nearly all Hab&rsquo;s power plays when the opposition is short-handed through penalties.Richard, because of his crafty shifts, his uncanny ability to anticipate passes and his dead-eyed shooting from close range is the key to the power play. He operates up front with Elmer Lach and Bert Olmstead and, according to the Rocket himself, &ldquo;playing with Lach and Olmstead is like having two centres. They get that puck onto your stick every time with nice, feathery passes.&rdquo;Geoffrion fills the right anchor position, opposite either Doug Harvey or Tom Johnson. From the blueline he has full advantage of his hard shot and he gets the benefit of any screening.It&rsquo;s strange that Richard and Geoffrion, both born in Montreal ten years apart, are both teammates and rivals. Teammates with the Habs, rivals for all-star recognition. It Is a certainty that Howe, who probably will lead the NHL in scoring for the fourth straight year, a feat unprecedented in the annals of hockey, will make one of the all-star team.And, on the basis of their showings to date, Richard or Geoffrion will make the other other team.When Richard has making headlines by scoring 50 goals in the 1944-45 season, Geoffrion was just 14 years old, playing kid hockey with a team from the Immaculate Conception Church in Montreal&rsquo;s East End.&ldquo;Richard was my hero then,&rdquo; he recalled. &ldquo;I used to wait outside the Forum to get his autograph and while I dreamed like most kids of a career in the NHL I never thought that the both of us would be waging a battle for the same all-star team.&rdquo;Richard said, &ldquo;the first time I saw Geoffrion playing hockey, he was with the Concordia juniors in the old Junior Amateur Hockey Association. He was 15, a little crude but even then he had a though and I&rsquo;m glad he wound shot that would make goaltenders jump. He showed promise up with the Habs. Ours is a friendly rivalry. Heck, I hope he gets 40 goals this season to help us finish on top.&rdquo; &#9632;

CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;General Manager Bill Tobin has announced that two Chicago Black Hawk home games have been transferred to Indianapolis to keep the Hoosier capital interested in hockey. Involved are the December 18 and January 21 encounters with Detroit and Boston respectively.&ldquo;We are shifting the games per agreement with directors of the Indianapolis Coliseum,&rdquo; Tobin stated in making the disclosure. He also said that the Hawks plan to sponsor a farm club in that city next year, but added, &ldquo;Nothing more can be said about that at this time.&rdquo;The move to Indianapolis will not be something new for Chicago.

<div class="byline">By AL PARSLEY(As Seen in the Montreal Herald)</div>SHERBROOKE, Que.&mdash;Jakie Forbes has the Sherbrooke Saints playing the right kind of hockey for their bandbox rink here, even if the local entry in the Quebec Hockey League hasn&rsquo;t been a big threat on the road.When Saints jolted Montreal Royals here recently it marked the ninth win this season for the home forces. They have tied two games since the season opened in mid-October, and were beaten only once, a 4-1 scalping by the Springfield Indians.General-manager, Forest Keene gives Forbes all the credit, and also points to the improved play of Gilles Dube.&ldquo;Dube is playing centre again. And that&rsquo;s where he always played as a youngster. As a play-maker between Eddie Stankiewicz and Gerald Ehnan hes&rsquo; having his best season. He&rsquo;s a natural stick-handler with a good shift, and here he has a chance to move around,&rdquo; says Keene. &ldquo;With other clubs and here in other seasons he has played on the wing, and his full effectiveness is curtailed.&rdquo;And Jack Adams&rsquo; rudy counternance in far-off Detroit possibly is not alone due to exhultation over the scoring feats of Red Wings against the forlorn Chi-Hawks. He might have been blushing for all the nice things Keene was saying about him here.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got a pretty fair team here,&rdquo; says Keene, &ldquo;and we owe it all to Jack Adams. It&rsquo;s our first year working with Detroit, and all but four of our players were sent here by th Wings. Only Dube, Tod Campeau, Gerry Cotnoir, the spare goaler, and Roger Roberge we own.&rdquo;How about Marcel Bonin?&ldquo;Well, Adams asked us if we would sent him to Edmonton, because he&rsquo;s got to try and win with that club. They own the junior team in Edmonton, and he has to make a showing with the pro team in the town, too. At that I don&rsquo;t think we&rsquo;ll do so badly with this boy Johnson they sent us In the swap.&rdquo;This 22-year-old St. Francis flash, who came from the Windsor Spitfires, (Junior OHA) has had two years of pro hockey. Season before last with Edmonton Flyers his scoring figures were 37-34&mdash;71 and with the same club last year he had 26-24&mdash;60.With Dube, Moe Irving and Bert Giesebrecht playing regularly, Jakie Forbes seems overloaded with pivot men. This, he says, is the reason Tod Campeau hasn&rsquo;t been in action for nearly a month. The story goes that Providence Reds were ready to bid for Tod, but Keene wasn&rsquo;t listening.On the trip down here the Royals were buzzing about the avalanche against Jack Gelineau, who was in Hawks&rsquo; nets for that 9-0 shellacking.&ldquo;Yeah,&rdquo; someone cracked. &ldquo;He had 148 shots against him.&rdquo;Jean Paul Renaud took it seriously.&ldquo;You say 148 shots?&rdquo; he said incredously.&ldquo;Sure,&rdquo; said Frank Carlin, &ldquo;after the first 75 shots he gets paid extra.&rdquo;&ldquo;Time and a half,&rdquo; said Bob Frampton who is accustomed to talking about rates for skilled labor in the building trades. &#9632;

SIDELIGHTS

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH (Fifth of a Series)</div>CHICAGO. Ill.&mdash;Let&rsquo;s take a few moments to again look back at the happenings that made headlines in the hockey world in this same week during recent years.Six years ago this week &mdash; Lester Patrick, New York&rsquo;s famed &ldquo;Silver Fox&rdquo; received his official scroll as a member of the International Hockey Hall of Fame in special ceremonies honoring him at Madison Square Garden. Nineteen seasons in the NHL saw him rack up 146 goals as one of hockey&rsquo;s greatest defensemen.A collapsible goal, designed as a safety device by Bert Lindsay, father of Detroit&rsquo;s Ted, was given a tryout in a Northern Ontario loop contest&hellip; Rumors that Coach Johnny Gottselig would be moved up to the front office were being staunchly denied by Chicago Black Hawk officials.Four years ago this week &mdash; The Canadiens&rsquo; trio of Norm Dussault, Billy Reay and Leo Gravelle was tabbed as Dick Irvin&rsquo;s &ldquo;Lightning Line&rdquo;&hellip; Arthur Ross, amid the fine early season play of his latest discovery. Jack Gelineau, was feted for his 25 years as Boston Bruin general manager.The New Haven Ramblers and Indianapolis Capitals, two teams that have since been dissolved, set a single game penalty record In the American League when they were assessed a total of 83 minutes in misdemeanors. Doled out were 14 minors, five majors and three 10-minute misconduct sentences.Two years ago this week &mdash; President Clarence Campbell revealed that the National League Board of Governors would take up the question of returning to overtime play in regular season&rsquo;s play. Known to be favoring such a move were Walter Brown, Boston head man, and General Managers Frank Boucher and Bill Tobin of New York and Chicago respectively.Boucher denied that a trip westward to Saskatoon to look at young Lorne Worsley meant that the Rangers&rsquo; veteran twinetender, Chuck Rayner was on the way out&hellip; Jack Stoddard of Providence, Real Chevrefils of Hershey and George Armstrong of Pittsburgh were setting the pace in AHL scoring. &#9632;

Remember The Habs’ Lightning Line?

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0005-02" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-02287/1673474-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">The Blues&hellip; by Leo O&rsquo;Melia</figcaption></div>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;If blond Frank Martin of the Boston Bruins is thriving on the life of a National league defenseman this season, his air of prosperity is understandable.This is the first time in years that the huge young man has had to play only one position.A year ago the Bruins had as a spare defenseman effervescent Jerry Toppazzini, who had never played defense in his life until his first major league game last fall against the Montreal Canadiens.Now they have a similar case in Martin, who hasn&rsquo;t played defense regularly since he was a little fellow in his first year of junior hockey.Like the versatile Toppazzini of a year ago, Martin has been a roamer since the age of 15. He has played left wing, right wing, center &mdash; and defense.Not in five years has he been a one-position man until this season.&ldquo;I was a left wing originally,&rdquo; related the 198-pound native of St. Catharine&rsquo;s, Ontario, &ldquo;and then I moved back to defense for the usual reason. I was bigger than the other boys.&ldquo;In junior hockey sometimes I used to play defense for a rest. I&rsquo;d play center usually until I got tired, then move back to defense for a breather, then go back to center.&ldquo;When I joined the Hershey Bears a year ago I started as a defenseman. After a few games we lost forwards with injuries, so I went back to playing forward &mdash; and defense.&ldquo;This is the first year since I was 15 and just starting in junior hockey that I haven&rsquo;t played forward as well as defense. This is the first time I&rsquo;ve ben able to concentrate on one position.&rdquo;When Martin turned professional with Hershey last fall, his scoring record for his previous season at St. Catharines created considerable excitement. It showed that he had scored 25 goals, and that number for a defenseman in any class of competition was a noteworthy item.&ldquo;I got the goals, all right,&rdquo; admitted Martin with a grin, &ldquo;but I got most of them playing center for St. Catharines. I remember I got nine of them in three games, all as a center.&rdquo;Despite his status as a comparative babe in the defense woqds, the biggest of the Bruins made his strongest early impressions on his Boston superiors with his poise.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03222/1673467-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg" title="f0005-03" width="548" height="823"><figcaption class="caption-body">ContentedFRANK MARTIN</figcaption></div>&ldquo;That was the first thing which impressed me when I first saw him several years ago at our tryout camp,&rdquo; recalled Coach Lynn Patrick. &ldquo;He looked and acted like a hockey player, and I picked him out as soon as he skated on the Ice.&ldquo;In his first game with us a year ago he was noticeably nervous, but it would have been hard to tell from his actions that it was his first game. He always had that poise that many players take years to acquire.&rdquo;Martin&rsquo;s development this season has been interesting, at least from a Boston point of view. Ha started off as a part-timer, getting more chances to play than he would have ordinarily because ot an Injury to Hal Laycoe.Then the burly youth muscled his way more solidly into the Bruins&rsquo; defense picture by displaying more aggressiveness than he had in his brief showings a year ago. He started to throw his weight around, at the same time improving in other respects with experience. &#9632;

I especially enjoy articles on the American Hockey League and particularly my favorite team, the Buffalo Bisons.I am writing this letter to the Fan Forum to request pen pals who are also interested in the AHL. I wculd welcome any and all letters from such fans, who would be interested in helping me to form an AHL Pen Pal Club.We could exchange pictures and programs as well as information on our favorite teams, and I can assure you that all letters I receive will be answered promptly.So how about it, you fans of Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Providence and Buffalo &hellip; let&rsquo;s hear from you.My address is 59 Wex Avenue, Buffalo, 11, NY.Norma Roberts Buffalo, NY.<h2>Wish Granted</h2>Dear Sir,Since 1950 I have been reading your weekly paper, and it is the finest, in my opinion. But one thing does upset me. There are no crossword puzzles.At first I thought this was only for a week or so. Now I see an article in the Fan Forum telling us we must vote yes or no on whether we want the puzzles back.Well, the first thing I turn to when I open your paper is Ken McKenzie&rsquo;s column; the next was always the crossword puzzle, because it is so interesting to real hockey fans. I&rsquo;d like to congratulate the girl in Toronto (Margaret Scott) who makes them up, and I&rsquo;d certainly like to see them back in THE HOCKEY NEWS again.Jean-Marie Bouchard Quebec, Que.(Just glance down the page to the little black box, Jean-Marie.)<h2>Some Altered Rules</h2>Dear Sir,Here are two rule changes I propose for hockey:1&mdash;The changing of the offensive blue line to be used for icing the puck for infractions instead of the centre ice red line. This would encourage more stickhandling and more bodychecking, eliminating the boring practise of shooting the puck into the corner.2&mdash;Two referees, one linesman. One referee as at present for the first and third periods. The other for the second. One referee would be close in on the plays as at present, while the other would stand on the blueline as the present linesman does. He could call offsides and penalties. As previously stated, they would Interchange at the beginning of each period.These two changes would make hockey a much better game and bring back the lost art of stickhandling. It would certainly be a shot in the arm in the states.Sandford Zwickler Brooklyn, NY.<h2>Calendars Again</h2>Dear Sir,As an old reader of THE HOCKEY NEWS, I&rsquo;m writing to get some information on the subject of calendars.I&rsquo;d like to know the address of the people who send out the Toronto calendars. I already have the Canadien one and would like to add the Leafs to my collection.Andre Valiquette Thessalon(Write to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Maple Leaf Garden, Toronto, Ont.)<h2>NOHA Fan</h2>Dear Sir,I have been a subscriber to THE HOCKEY NEWS for several years and enjoy your paper very much.I noticed a letter from a reader in the Fan Forum several weeks ago requesting news about the Northern Ontario Hockey Association, and I&rsquo;d like to support him in this request.I think this league, although only of senior calibre, rates at least enough space in your paper show the standings. So let&rsquo;s see some news on the NOHA.R.W.F. Middleton, NS.(Request granted, as you&rsquo;ll see if you turn to page 18 of this issue, where we&rsquo;re printing Jack Piner&rsquo;s NOHA Puck Parade. This will be a weekly feature henceforth.)<h2>He&rsquo;d Like to Swap</h2>Dear Sir,I have been reading THE HOCKEY NEWS since It was first published, and I&rsquo;ve decided to write in to the Fan Forum because I collect autographs and programs of any sport.Would you please put this letter in the Fan Forum so hockey fans can get in touch with me? My address is 8727 Saskatchewan Drive, W., Edmonton, Alta.Paul Cros Edmonton, Alta.<h2>We Will Too Print It</h2>Dear Sir,In reply to a New York hockey fan about the Canadiens playing dirty hockey: maybe they play rough, hard-hitting game, but not dirty.Personally I think he&rsquo;s beefing because the Habs always seem to wallop the Rangers. Not only that, but also it seems the Rocket scores a lot of goals against them. I lost count three seasons ago.Well, here&rsquo;s offering the Rangers the best of luck; it would be nice to see them where they should be, If you go by performance: the American Hockey League.How about some articles on Tom Johnson, my all-star defenseman, and Kenny Mosdell?PS&mdash;I bet you won&rsquo;t print this.Carl Milcik Montreal, Que.<h2>Hep on Hergy</h2>Dear Sir,I am a constant reader of THE HOCKEY NEWS and think the paper is tops.My favorite team is the New York Rangers. How about a story on the great Walter Hergesheimer?Could you give me the birthplace of the following Rangers: Hergesheimer, Bob Chrystal, Johnny Bower and Don Raleigh?How would I go about obtaining the various NHL club calendars?Joe Borody Vista, Man.(You&rsquo;ll find interesting facts about Wally Hergesheimer in this issue. Hergy was born in Winnipeg, Mau.; as was Chrystal; Bower in Prince Albert, Sask., and Don Raleigh in Kenora, Ont. Only two NHL calendars are published: Canadiens and Maple Leafs. Write to the two clubs involved.)<h2>Four-point Program</h2>Dear Sir,I am writing this letter to submit my views on four points.First &mdash; That was a very nice write-up on Lillian Watson, but I know that if you have Miss Scott recheck, you&rsquo;ll find that her maiden name was Thomson instead of Johnson. However, if your errors are all as slight as this, you certainly have nothing to worry about.Second &mdash; How about a story on Toronto&rsquo;s best forward &mdash; Tod Sloan? He has improved greatly now that he has found himself as a centre. I think that he deserves a good story more than any other player.Third &mdash; When are people going to stop comparing Gordie Howe and Maurice Richard? These two great hockey players are of such entirely different calibre, it makes it practically impossible to compare them justly. I know this letter will not stop people from doing it, but why can&rsquo;t they at least fight with kind words?Fourth &mdash; I&rsquo;m for the crossword puzzles. I got a lot of enjoyment out of them and miss them very much.I hope you see fit to print this better. Keep up the good work.Dorothy Stumpf London, Ont.<h2>An Error Yet</h2>Dear Sir,I noticed an error in your staning of the Buffalo Bisons in THE HOGKEY NEWS of November 14.You stated they won 10, lost nine and tied one. It should have read, won 10, lost five, tied one.I hope you stand corrected.Betty Wismer Buffalo, NY.(The usual practise in cases like this is to blame the printer, a defenseless soul who has no comeback. This time we&rsquo;ll take the rap ourselves. We do stand corrected.)<h2>Where&rsquo;s Bingo?</h2>Dear Sir:Not long ago I read in the Fan Forum where Bingo Ernst wasn&rsquo;t playing with Valleyfield Braves of the Quebec Hockey League, but had been shipped down to the Maritime Major League.Just where is he playing now?Secondly, if any more votes are needed to convince you that we HOCKEY NEWS readers go for the crosswords in a big way, please put me down as being very much in favor of them. While it&rsquo;s true that the puzzle does take up a certain amount of space, It&rsquo;s also true that most people do like puzzles of one sort or another &hellip; and yours were tops.So how about it!Roger Clements Trenton, Ont.(Bingo Ernst is now firmly established with Valleyfield Braves.

ITS BACK!

<div class="byline">By STAN HOUSTON(The Toronto Telegram)</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0007-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-01339/1673650-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">Could Be Key To Leafs&rsquo; SuccessRudy Migay &hellip; &hellip; A Handy Guy To Have Around</figcaption></div>TORONTO. Ont.&mdash;Only his physique prevents Rudy Migay from being the skeleton key of the Toronto Maple Leafs offense.The square-built 170-pounder has every other qualification, being able to fit into any hole when another key player is lost; to make connections with any other set of forwards and to find the hole into the goal when it counts most.&ldquo;He&rsquo;s one of the most valuable players on this club, one of the most valuable in the league,&rdquo; appraises coach King Clancy, who thought just as highly when he coached Migay at Toronto&rsquo;s Pittsburgh farm team last year. &ldquo;He never gives up trying and he&rsquo;s been our best forward for five straight games.&rdquo;In those five games, Rudolph was never left long enough with one combination of players to call them by their first names, but he always performed like he was part of a unit of long standing.His versatility became necessary when three freak accidents struck the Leafs inside five days. First Gordie Hannigan was sidelined for at least a month with badly torn ankle ligaments. Then George Armstrong suffered an eight-stitch gash on his ankle when his skates tangled with those of Jim Morrison in scrimmage. And then Bob Bailey, in replacing Army, suffered an almost identical injury on his first shift against Montreal Canadiens. in Bailey&rsquo;s case, the skate cut tore his boot as well as the flesh, but he didn&rsquo;t realize he had been cut until he came off the ice and, sitting on the bench, noted the slice in the ankle of his boot.Until the injury bug flew in, Migay had been centering Eric Nesterenko and Hannigan. With Hopalong injured, he found Bob Solinger on his left wing, then took a shift there himself while Bob Hassard centred the line. When Bailey&rsquo;followed Armstrong into the Infirmary, he moved into right wing for Tod Sloan and Harry Watson, then played centre while Sloan was sent to right wing.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02306/1673643-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="562" height="885"><figcaption class="caption-body">A-Running !HOWIE MEEKER</figcaption></div>Howie Meeker, who had retired to coaching at Stratford on the condition he would come a &lsquo;runnin&rsquo; to the rescue in the event Leafs found themselves two right wingers shy, was then summoned to play two games on Sloan&rsquo;s right wing. This freed Migay to once again centre Nesterenko and another newcomer, Earl Balfour, with the Leafs on a two-week tryout from Pittsburgh. And at the same time he spells Ted Kennedy on a line with Sid Smith and Ron-Stewart and plays with Kennedy killing penalties and occasionally on the power play.All of this makes Migay, who in the past three seasons had to make five trips up the pike from Pittsburgh before he struck this year, an MVP, whether it be Most Versatile or Valuable Player.He&rsquo;ll admit himself that he&rsquo;s no shucks as a skater, but as a checker, back and forward, he&rsquo;s brilliant, so brilliant that despite all his ice service with so many different combinations, he has not yet let his check escape him to score. In fact, he has been on the ice only once all season when any enemy has scored, and has offset that being handy for seven Leaf goals.As a goal-scorer himself, he won&rsquo;t set any records, but the ones he does deposit are big ones. All three of his goals in his first 20 games were winners, two from Boston and another from Chicago. INCIDENTALS &hellip; Although a groin Injury kept him off skates for two weeks prior to his summons by Leafs, Howie Meeker was more than adequate in the two games he played and scored 50 seconds before his tour of duty ended, in Chicago, where Leafs routed Black Hawks for the fifth time this year, 5-1&hellip;. in that Chicago game, and through the second two periods of the previous game, against Rangers in Toronto, the husky young Balfour indicated he might stay beyond his two-week tryout&hellip; Goaltender Harry Lumley has maintained a goal-per-game average through 11 games, yielding only three in his last live games up to Nov. 26&hellip; It lent him a goal-against total of 29, only one behind Detroit&rsquo;s Terry Sawchuk&rsquo;s in the Vezina Trophy derby and 33 better than his corresponding strike-out mark of 62 after 20 games last year&hellip; Sid Smith scored two goals within 2 9 seconds in Chicago to turn a tight hockey game, in which Leafs were life-and-death to hold onto a one-goal lead, into a rout&hellip; George Armstrong missed two weeks service with his ankle cut, but Bailey, whose wound was not as deep, was in action again after a week&rsquo;s idleness&hellip; Leafs are still batting .500 on the road, having collected 10 points from 10 road games. &#9632;

Clancy Calls On “Ready Rudy” To Fit Into Almost Any Spot

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;The standardized National league hockey net, six feet wide and four feet high, is neither too big nor too small but just right.It has no bearing on the varying of goals which are scored in a given season, or over a portion of any given season.So says Art Ross, general manager of the Boston Bruins, in response to the latest urging, this one from New York, that the net should be widened.Ross is better acquainted than most with the particular fixture defended regularly by major league goalies. He designed it.At various times since he has hfeard it subjected to criticism, but casual suggestions that its size be increased to provide more goals receive a speedy retort from the grizzled Bruins&rsquo; executive.&ldquo;Every time we hit a period of a week or two when games end with low scores, someone wants to widen the net,&rdquo; said Ross. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been hearing the same suggestion periodically ever since we adopted It 28 years ago.&ldquo;The net is the same width and height today that it was then. It has always been the same. Some seasons more goals scored than in other seasons, and sometimes&rsquo; one team scores more goals &mdash; or less goals &mdash; than it has at other times. But the net remains the same.&ldquo;We have a fine game today,&rdquo; continued Ross. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s nothing wrong with it, including the scoring. A lack of scoring or an abundance of it can be explained, but not by using the net for an explanation.&ldquo;I remember many seasons when all teams might go along for a week or two playing low scoring games. Then suddenly there&rsquo;s a change and we have a rash of high scoring games.&ldquo;Teams change their tactics or personnel, and their scoring output changes. Sometimes changes in tactics or personnel of one team will affect the scoring of&rsquo; another team.&ldquo;Take the Chicago Black Hawks for an example,&rdquo; Ross went on. &ldquo;When the Black Hawks had the Bentley brothers, their objective was to score goals. If the other they didn&rsquo;t worry. Their objective team got a few against them, then was to score more.&ldquo;But Chicago has had to change its tactics in the last few years without the Bentleys, and other teams have changed since then, too. Now teams which once thought of defense first are thinking of scoring first.&ldquo;I&rsquo;m aware of the fact that the Detroit Red Wings haven&rsquo;t been scoring as much so far this season as they have in the recent past, and I don&rsquo;t think It hard to explain. The league is better balanced this year than it has ever been. The other teams have moved up on Detroit.&ldquo;Our club (the Bruins) is scoring more this season than it did a year ago, but we&rsquo;re not shooting at a wider net while Detroit is shooting at a smaller one. We&rsquo;re just a better team.&ldquo;The scoring in the league this season is following a pattern I&rsquo;ve seen dozens of times before,&rdquo; he added, &ldquo;and I&rsquo;ve heard the same suggestion just as many times. There&rsquo;ll be high scoring kames and low scoring games, and there&rsquo;ll be a full share of high scoring ones without making any alterations In the size of the net.&rdquo;Ross, who ranks as hockey&rsquo;s number one designer (the puck, tendon guard, etc.), liked the looks of the first Art Ross net when he had it made to order back In the mid-20s. So did the rest of the National league officials when they saw it decorated with strings fashioned by Mrs. Ross.And 28 years later Uncle Arthur still thinks it to be neither too big nor too small, but just exactly right. &#9632;

Jean Marois was called, up from the Quebec Aces of the Quebec League to fill in the sizeable breach.For Al, the rest was a forced one, but certainly deserved for his netminding this season, truly as fine and depetfdable as ever, received little support from the faltering, disappointing efforts ot numerous teammates. It was his work alone that kept opposition scoring from reaching dizzy heights In many games.Dr. Myron Tremaine, club physician. reported that his absence from the Hawks twine might be felt for as long as 10 days. &ldquo;Chickenpox is definitely a childhood disease and they can often shake It off in a few days,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;but in adults the cases are severer and take more time.&rdquo;It&rsquo;s believed that Al contracted the Illness from his four-year old daughter, Susan, who had come down with it just two weeks before. He was further hampered by a score mouth and jaw. The remains of a couple of teeth broken in a game had been painfully extracted just prior to the arrival of the pox.Rollins&rsquo; falling health wasn&rsquo;t known to Coach Sid Abel until a couple of hours before the encounter with Boston at tie Chicago Stadium November 20. Sid was preparing to receive THE HOCKEY NEWS award as last year&rsquo;s top coach on a radio television show when a call from Al&rsquo;s wife, Bert, brought the information.She was solidly against his playing that night, but Rollins, with duty and the team foremost in mind and no thought for his personal plight, showed up in the dressing room on time and donned his equipment. With paleuess the only hint of his condition, he emerged as the lone Hawk star in a 2-0 defeat.&ldquo;I feel awful,&rdquo; Al hastened to admit after the game. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve got the shakes bad and the doctor says a fever too,&rdquo; he said as he struggled out of his pads. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know if I&rsquo;ll be able to make it Sunday against Toronto.&rdquo; A call was quickly put through for Marois. &#9632;

Angular Al Fought Off Chickenpox To Tend Nets

CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;When Jean Marois was summoned to Chicago November 22 from the Quebec Aces of the QHL to fill in for the chickenpoxed Al Rollins in the Black Hawk cage, it brought back memories of his last and only previous appearance in the National Hockey League back in the 1943-44 campaign.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02308/1673736-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="522" height="849"><figcaption class="caption-body">Filled InJOHNNY MAROIS</figcaption></div>At that time, the same two clubs were Involved, but it was the Maple Leafs who called for his services. Jean, now 28, was then a rookie hopeful in the twines at St. Michael&rsquo;s college in Toronto. A teammate at the time was another promising youngster named Angus Mortson.Marois was secured by Chicago last month in accordance with a working agreement that was signed with Quebec before the start of the current schedule. He was recently also loaned to Providenco of the American League, allowing three goals in a pair of encountersJean is one of hockey&rsquo;s tew goalies that handles his stick in the unorthodox left-handed style. Chicago fans may recall that their greatest netminder, the Immortal Charlie Gardiner, did the same. &lsquo;Others with a similar knack that followed later were Pave Kerr and Bill Durnan WTio was ambidextrous.Marois, although beaten five times by Toronto, did on acceptable job as Rollins&rsquo; replacement. Small and lightly built, he had to art on the busy total of 43 shots while Harry Lumley of the Leafs found the rubber disc coming his way only 30 times, Marois was slated to remain with the Hawks for a at least 10 days.Booth &#9632;

Left-Handed Johnny Marois Answered SOS When Rollins Kayoed; Once Played For Leafs

<div class="byline">By MARSHALL DANN</div>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;If anyone cares to make a presentation or otherwise to honor Gordie Howe for some of his past hockey feats, he&rsquo;ll find Manager Jack Adams most happy to make centerice arrangements.Howe was the winner last season of the annual &ldquo;Player of the Year&rdquo; award made by THE HOCKEY NEWS. Formal presentation was set for Detroit&rsquo;s home game against Boston on Nov. 19, and Editor-Publisher Ken Mc Kenzie breezed into town for the event.Before the game started McKenzie and Howe met at center ice, exchanged handshakes and made brief speeches over the p.a. system before Howe skated back to the bench with a handsome scroll.According to superstition, stunts like that are supposed to jinx a player for that game. It figures. The player being honored usually tries so hard to make a good showing that he ends up nowhere.Not Howe. Two hours later he was flipping home a goal which broke a 2-2 tie In the last five minutes and produced a 3-2 victiry.Certainly it was no jinx night for Gordie. If McKenzie wants to sign a long-term contract to make similar presentations here, Adams and his players will be pleased to set it up.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03238/1673767-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="603" height="600"><figcaption class="caption-body">UnperturbedGORDIE HOWE</figcaption></div>It should be added that the Bruins, who had no objection to the ceremonies, voiced&rsquo;considerable opposition to Howe&rsquo;s later actions. In fact, the Bruins lost a whole series of arguments along with that game.The Bostin team held up the game for five minutes while disputing the legality of the winning play.&ldquo;Howe kicked it in,&rdquo; claimed Jim Henry, the Irate Boston goalie.&ldquo;I flicked it in with my stick,&rdquo; answered Howe.&ldquo;Metro Prystai&rsquo;s pass deflected in off Howe&rsquo;s skate,&rdquo; reported Referee Jack Mehlenbacher. According to the rules, those versions were 2-1 in favor of legality. Mehlenbacher had the official word anyway so the goal stood.After arguing about It a while, the Bruins trooped over to their bench and refused to resume play. They tossed a couple of towels plus a lot if hot words over the dasher at Mehlenbacher&mdash;&rdquo;to see If he had the nerve to penalize us,&rdquo; as Coach Lynn Patrick explained later.That was the third of three losing arguments. The first came after the siren ended the first period. Boston was leading, 1 to 0, and Rookie Doug Mohns fired another shot past Terry Sawchuk, just as the siren sounded.Mohns clearly made his play before the siren; and Just as clearly, the puck went in after the siren. The blue light signifying the end of the period beat the red scoring light, so there was no real cause for dispute except natural displeasure.The second debate came when Ed Sandford drew an interferanc penalty against Howe late In the final period. The Bruins must have sensed danger since they protested bitterly, and it was while Sandford was gone that Howe made the winning marker. &#9632;

The following night in Chicago, Kelly scored another goal and picked up a pair of assists as the Wings crushed the Hawks, 9-4. That eight-point, spree vaulted him into a fourth place tie in the individual scoring column with Boston&rsquo;s Eddie Sanford with a total of 19 points in the 22 games he has participated in so far this year.In addition, Kelly still heads Chicago&rsquo;s Bill Gadsby as the highest-scoring rearguard in the league this year although Gadsby in right on his heels with 17 points made up of eight goals and nine assists. &#9632;

His move was fully approved by Frank Selke, General Manager of the Canadiens.</figcaption></div>As the coach of the Boston Bruins, Lynn Patrick is an independent thinker, one who designs his own strategy, who needs no precedents for moves he makes.But in one policy this season the elder of the coaching Patricks is following a line established by his father many years ago with the New York Rangers.That&rsquo;s the one of playing forwards on what is known as the off-wing. That is, playing a lefthanded shot on right ing or a right-handed shot at left wing.Lynn played on some outstanding New York teams coached by Lester, his father which had wrong-handed shooters in their lineup.Like Lester, he has always been an adherent to the theory that a wrong-handed shooter playing his position has epreentage in his favor in shoting at the net. The Patrick contention, as expressed frequently by Lester, is that the stick can &ldquo;see&rdquo; more of the net from such a position than can the stick of an orthodox shooter.Thus this season the Bruins are carrying the Patrick stamp with Ed Sandford and Jerry Toppazzini, both right-handed shots, playing left wing positions regularly and Joe Klukay, a lefthanded shot, playing right wing.&ldquo;Lester always advocated the theory,&rdquo; related Lynn. &ldquo;In fact, he was the one who introduced it in New York, and I&rsquo;ve seen it work too many times not to believe it myself.&ldquo;With the Rangers we had players like Cecil Dillon and Bryan Hextali, some of the finest forwards the game has ever seen, who played their off-wings and scored lots of goals.&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no reason, why a forward can&rsquo;t play his off-swing just as well as his natural wing, and common sense he should be able to play it beter.&ldquo;Look at the ay Sandford moved into left wing,&rdquo; the Bruins&rsquo; coach continued. &ldquo;He moved there from center with no previous experience, and scored seven goals in his first 10 games.&ldquo;Toppazzini had played very little at left wing until we brought him up to replace Real Chevrefils, and in his fifth game he scored three goals. As far as Klukay is concerned, he has played right wing all the time he has been in the league, and there have been few better.&rdquo;Patrick has never hesitated to throw forwards into off-wing positions since life has been the coach of the Bruins, and most of his present-corps of forwards have followed the examples of Sandford, Klukay and Toppazzini on a less extensive scale.The tactic, it should be pointed out, is not a Patrick exclusive, since other National league teams employ it on a more limited basis. In fact, Patrick points to another team for his conclusive point in any discussion of the subject.&ldquo; If you don&rsquo;t believe it works,&rsquo;&rdquo; he deciares, &ldquo;there&rsquo;s a fellow playing for Montreal who&rsquo;ll tell you differently. Look up his scoring record as an off-wing sometime. He&rsquo;s a left-handed shot who plays right wing.&rdquo;The fellow&rsquo;s name ? Why, Maurice Richard, of course, the greatest scorer in hockey history. &#9632;

With him are, left to right, Morley MacNeil, Al Baccari, Bert Hirschfeld and Chuck Scherza.</figcaption></div>PROVIDENCE, R.I.&mdash;&ldquo;Ah knows I could have beat Rocky Marciano with a pair of gloves like these!&rdquo;So spoke former world&rsquo;s heavyweight champion Jersey Joe Walcott when he visited the R.I. Reds&rsquo; dressing room and tried on a pair of hockey gloves.Jersey Joe, looking in fine shape at 204 pounds, was in town to officiate a professional wrestling bout. It&rsquo;s a sideline Joe now has, his main interest being running a half million dollar Motel-Gas Station-Car Wash outside Camden, New Jersey.Walcott was quite interested in the Reds&rsquo; hockey equipment while discussing the sport with Chuck Scherza, Bert Hirschfeld, Al Baccari and Morley MacNeil. The former heavy king, who was dethroned by Marciano, tried out a stick and expressed the opinion that &ldquo;I sure would have a time trying to play hockey with this curved stick&rdquo;.It was the gloves, though, that caught Joe&rsquo;s eyes. &ldquo;This leather is really hard, nothing like our fighting mittens&rdquo;, Walcott remarked.During his visit with the Reds, Walcott did some &ldquo;horseplay sparring&rdquo; with Scherza, rated the top fighter on the Providence squad. The two even posed for pictures together. Scherza was shooting out a left as the photographers flashed. Of course, it was all in a sense of fun although one follower of the boxing world quipped that &ldquo;We could pack &lsquo;em in here if we matched Chuck and Jersey Joe&rdquo;. &#9632;

Joe Finds Hockey Mighty Interesting

<div class="byline">By DICK McCRONE</div>HERSHEY, Pa.&mdash;Just like the traffic cop on the corner, who does a commendable job of directing vehicular traffic, so does Gordon &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Henry do a thoroughly dependable job of re-routing&rsquo; puck traffic around his cage In Hershey Sports Arena and other American League Ice palaces where the Hershey Bears perform their hockey chores.Official records to the contrary, coach Murray Henderson labels his netminder as &ldquo;the best in the league.&rdquo; Red is currently in third place among AHL cage guardians, sporting a 3.05 average in 18 games. He is topped only by Gil Mayer, of the Pittsburgh Hornets, and Jacques Plante, of the pacesetting Buffalo Bisons.&ldquo;Red has been the bulwark of our defense all season. He always comes up with that &ldquo;big&rdquo; save when things look darkest. Best of all, he never complains when our defense leaves him down. He just wants to win and whether we&rsquo;re ahead by six goals or trailing by a like number, he never stops trying,&rdquo; Henderson said.Henry got off to a slow start and his goals allowed mark soared to an average of 4.33 per game in the second week of AHL competition, but since then he has been rapidly closing the gap between himself and the loop&rsquo;s top goal tenders. After 18 games he had whittled is average down to 3.05.Highlight of his current work was the 2-0 white-washing he handed the Providence Reds on Thursday, November 19. He did it the hard way, kicking out 46 shots to preserve his first shut out of the current AHL campaign.Henry, who hails from Owen Sound, Ont., broke in with Hershey in 1944-45 as spare goalie, but languished in the shadow of Harvey Bennett, who was tending the Hershey cage at the time. It was not until late in 1946-47, when Bennett was struck by a flying puck that Red stepped into the Bear pads and went on to lead his team mates to their first Calder Cup championship. &#9632;

Red Henry Loop’s Best, Says Coach

PITTSBURGH, Pa.&mdash; A temporarily unemployed fugitive from the Quebec Hockey League was drafted as a referee here a few nights ago when Jerry Olinski, who had been assigned the Important Pittsburgh-Cleveland game, missed plane connections and failed to arrive.He was Armand (Dutch) Del Monte, who had been returned to Cleveland when the Hornets sent Bob Sabourin and Bill Burega to Ottawa. Cleveland, in turn, assigned him to Marion, O., of the International LeagueWhile waiting to join the Marion club, he came to Pittsburgh with Cleveland General Manager Jim Hendy to see the game, but Immediately was pressed into service by mutual agreement of Bun Cook and Baz Bastien, Barons&rsquo; and Hornets&rsquo; coaches, respectively.He did a good job of it, too. He called one fighting penalty In the first period when Gerry Foley of the Hornets and Ray Ceresino exchanged a few blows; called hone in the second, and three tripping penalties In the third.The Hornets won the game, 3-2. &#9632;

WESTERN LEAUGE

<div class="byline">By NED POWERS</div>SASKATOON, Sask.&mdash; After a miserable stretch in early November when the club went 13 games without a victory, Doug Bentley&rsquo;s Saskatoon Quakers discovered their bearings and are quickly making a bid to rescale the heights of the Western Pro Hockey League.It took some shuffling of players to accomplish the feat and it was unfortunate that two men greatly responsible for Saskatoon&rsquo;s great hockey boom in recent years fell under the axe.The two fellows were defenceman Bill Heindl and right winger Chuck McCullough. Heindl reported to Moose Jaw Millers of the Saskatchewan Senior league after being released by Quakers. McCullough was suspended for refusing to report to Edmonton Flyers in a trade and he is apparently finish-with hockey.The Quaker hockey club started to enjoy immense success at the gate after Wild Bill Hunter lured a rough twosome, Heindl and Larry Zeidel, to Saskatoon in the fall of 1949 despite heated arguments with the Canadian Amateur Hockey association. Hunter was also responsible for obtaining McCullough, a hard-working winger, from Regina Caps that same year.Quakers won the Western Senior title in 1950-51 but were beaten by Toronto St. Mike&rsquo;s in the playoffs for the Alexander trophy.<h2>Pro Hockey</h2>The Saskatoon club, along with Calgary and Edmonton, then entered a professional hook-up with west coast teams. Quakers finished first for two straight seasons but lost in the playoffs each trip. The club drew almost a full house of 5,200 every night they played in Saskatoon during the l952-53 term.Quakers were naturally beset with gate problems when this year&rsquo;s club couldn&rsquo;t get percolating but crowds are on the upswing again.Chuck Rayner, former New York Ranger, has performed adequately In the Saskatoon net and the acquisition of Jim Ross, who came out of retirement, and Lou Fontinato, who come from Vancouver, strengthened the blueline corps.Jack Evans, the six-foot, 185-pound blueliner, has been a terrific leader for the Quakers all season. He&rsquo;s rugged and smart on the blueline and his skating and rushing has been superb.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-02283/1674492-1-eng-US/f0014-022.jpg" title="f0014-02" width="545" height="519"><figcaption class="caption-body">Going UpDOUG BENTLEY</figcaption></div>Early disappointments Alex Kaleta, Jackie McLeod and Ray Manson are starting to produce the goals in good fashion. Fiery left winger George Senick has been the most consistent sniper all season and rookies Aggie Kukulowicz and Vic Howe are showing signs of being effective operators.Calgary Stamps, who are well-balanced but particularly loaded with scoring punch, and Vancouver Canucks, who own good goaltending and equally good defensemen, are still clubs to beat according to the Quaker ratings. &#9632;

QUEBEC LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By AL PARSLEY</div>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Deputy-director Tom Leggett heads the Montreal Traffic Police. He&rsquo;s a veteran hockey zealot who generally makes one of the Stanley Cup playoff trips with Canadiens.So general-manager Frank Carlin and coach Pete Morin are seriously considering of imposing on a lifelong friendship by asking to be sworn in on Leggett&rsquo;s staff.They should qualify.Since the Quebec Hockey League season began players have been shuttling back and forth between the Royals, Canadiens and St. Therese in a fashion that is bewildering.Most of the traffic hinges on the injuries to Jean Beliveau and Dickie Moore. With two centremen hors du combat Dick Irvin, maestro of Montreal&rsquo;s NHL team has been compelled to move players up and down, around and about it chessboard style.<h2>Down The Hall</h2>Some of the earlier moves will be given just the onceover lightly here. The traffic really became thick a couple of weeks ago when Irvin took up an entire line from Royals &mdash; right-winger Eddie Litzenberger, centre Skippy Burchell and left-railer Dick Gamble. At the same time Royals received Paul Masnick and Lorne Davis from the Habs.After, a couple of games in which Gamble became a standout, the former Quebec Acer out of Moncton, N.B., was ordered to leave his boots and cheese-cutters in the Habitants&rsquo; quarters at the Forum while Litz and Skippy moved back down the hall.<h2>Pete Is Worried</h2>Meantime Gerry Desaulniers had been called up to the Habs from Royals on one of those lend-lease deals. Desaulniers stayed just two games and at the same time Masnick and Davis were working out their 14day compulsory tour in the Slater circuit. This is an ordnance of pro hockey. Send a chattl to a lower league, he must stay 14 days.Royals went on a road trip to Quebec and Chicoutimi with Paul and Lorne in the party, won two games. But when they got back Morin was worried, then happy. No phone calls, no telegrams from Irvin. Pete had looked for the wokst.<h2>Waivers On Malone</h2>Meanwhile Cliff Malone had been placed on the waiver list. It was known that Valleyfield Braves and Quebec Aces might bite at the waiver, though the $2,000 tag gives the front office of both clubs a slight pause.Neither had made a move as this edition was headed presswise and it seems that if the waiver business is cleared Malone will besson playing for dear old St. Therese of the Quebec Provincial Hockey League (senior).There was a bit of traffic between Quebec and Chicago with goalers Jean Marois and Jack Gelineau the express packages. On one train trip Marois rode with Royals saying he was headed for Providence to help out the Reds who had Harvey Bennett ailing on the sidelines. Next time they looked at the hockey reports the Royals saw that Marois was in Chicago Black Hawks&rsquo; net subbing for Al Rollins who was down with chicken pox following miseries due to the extraction of some teeth.<h2>Just Interested</h2>Though they had no part of this, Carlin and Morin could hardly be blamed for showing slight interest. And their awareness grew on the past weekend when Syd Abel gave out that he was not pleased with Marois, who let in 11 goals in two games with Toronto Leafs and Canadiens. Furthermore Abel asked Punch Imlach, gm. at the Ancient Capital, to ship Jack Gelineau f.o.b., Detroit where Hawks were next playing the Red Wings.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-02249/1674676-1-eng-US/f0016-022.jpg" title="f0016-02" width="536" height="765"><figcaption class="caption-body">On Waivers!CLIFF MALONE</figcaption></div><h2>Hebert Switches</h2>At Chicoutimi Rollie Hebert is having a little goal-keeping trouble on his own account. He benched Phil Hughes last week and filled his net with Cliff Hicks who earlier this season played six games for Ottawa Senators.More than one coach in the Quebec circuit has been two-platooning his goalers, though the shifts&rsquo; don&rsquo;t come in the same game, football fashion, of course&hellip; at Valleyfield Toe Blake has had Paul Leclerc and young Claude Evans, while Quebec Aces as aforesaid have Marois and Gelineau &hellip; Pete Morin tried out Evans, and Jean Paul Renaud before settling for Bob Perreault as a regular &hellip; Renaud travels a good part of the time with the Royals and is Pete Morin&rsquo;s figure filbert, taking his seat in the press box where he charts the plays, keeps track of the shots, and incidental information on a stock form Dick Irvin, devised, which is in use by all teams in the Habitans&rsquo; chain&hellip; When Canadiens are playing in the Forum, though, Renaud is on hand as stand-in for Gerry McNeil, should the latter be forced out of action &hellip; Hal Murphy who took the cage for both Habitants and Royals upon occasion last season after Jacques Plante moved to Buffalo, is at Ste. Therese.<h2>Ching Wants Service</h2>Earl &ldquo;Ching&rdquo; Johnson was through Montreal the other day after, Johnson demanded a QHL schedule to see where Sherbrooke Saints were playing. The hotel man had none available and called upon yours truly late at night to supply the information&hellip; Bud Poile, coach of the Flyers, had despatched Johnson to Sherbrooke Saints in the swap for Marcel Bonin. Jack Adams, generalissimo of Detroit Red Wings, had ordered. &#9632;

Traffic Grows Fierce in QHL as Royals Shuttle Up and Down

<div class="byline">By JACK KINSELLA</div>OTTAWA, Ont.&mdash;Turk Broda, coaching incumbent with the Ottawa Senators, is whistling while he works these days. The Fat Man, as a matter of fact, is even generating the odd smile.Source of this unrestrained joy, of course, stems from the arrival recently in the Capital City of the long awaited replacements for starry Jackie Leclair who went to Pittsburgh some time ago.The two-for-one arrangement saw Toronto Maple Leafs send winger Bob Sabourin and defenseman Bill Burega to the Barber Poles as replacements for Leclair.&ldquo;Now,&rdquo; the rotund Mr. Broda is said to have-remarked on hearing the news, &ldquo;now, I can eat again.&rdquo;Broda figures Sabourin and Burega will be of tremendous help to his Senators who had been encountering rough passage in the Quebec Hockey League, especially after losing Leclair.&ldquo;Sabourin is an up and coming the Turk, &ldquo; a guy who can take his turn on either flank and hold his own. We had hoped to get a center, of course, and preferably Phil Maloney, but the way they felt in Pittsburgh about him we would have had to kidnap the guy to get him here.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-01309/1674645-1-eng-US/f0016-012.jpg" title="f0016-01" width="290" height="437"><figcaption class="caption-body">Turk Broda</figcaption></div>The Fat Man was equally high on Burega whom he described as a &ldquo;basher from away back.&rdquo;&ldquo;That Eurega, now, he&rsquo;s my kind of hockey player. He loves to hit &lsquo;em so much that he lets out a big yell when he lifts &lsquo;em into the rafters. They don&rsquo;t come flying in there with their heads down when he&rsquo;s around.&rdquo;<h2>Respectable Total</h2>Sabourin, in his first season with Pittsburgh last year, fired a respectable total of 20 goals and added 22 assists for a year&rsquo;s work of 42 points. He should do equally well in the Slater circuit.Burega, a former Winnipeg junior. played last season with Glace Eay in the Maritime loop. He did not see too much action this season at Pittsburgh owing to a rib injury suffered during one of his harder &ldquo;bashings&rdquo;.Meanwhile, the addition of the Pittsburgh pair jumped the Senator list of players to 23, more suitable in numbers for football than hockey, and considerably expensive.It was only natural, accordingly, that the Senator board of strategy should wield the knife, and first to depart was Dutch Deimonte. Delmonte was sold to Cleveland.At the moment, Broda has seven defencemen, including Burega, Bobby Robertson, Jack Price, Hugh Bolton, Bobby Copp, Johnny Arundel and Gordie Hudson.No one knows, but the guess here is that Broda will keep Bolton and Hudson for one twosome (they have been going great guns), and Robertson, Price and Burega. Ottawa needs an extra rearguard as Bolton is unable to make some of the long road trips because of in studies at Carleton College.With the failure to obtain Maloney, it is probable that the clever Dusty Blair will remain between those two old pros, Leo Gravelle and Howard (Rip) Riopelle. Red Johnson is unlikely to be separated from Al Kuntz and Jack Giesebrecht, so this leaves Sabouring with Bep Guidolin and either Claude Robert or Hugh Riopelle, when the latter recovers from his injury.<h2>Cutting It Close</h2>T. P. Gorman promised local fans he would have his two newcomers here in time for the recent Valleyfield game if at all possible, and Tay Pay did just as he promised, too, although it was as close as you could cut it.Difficulties over plane transportation forced the Ottawa club owner to bring his players here from Pittsburgh via Detroit, Windsor, Toronto and Ottawa. The two players arrived at the Ottawa airport at 8.05 pm, were met and hustled to the rink to dress for the game.As one wag said: &ldquo;They would have played that night if T.P. had to hold them up out there.&rdquo;For all their travel, though, the pair played well, and Sabourin even broke into the summary with an assist. The win must have been infectious because the Barber Poles travelled to Chicoutimi the very next night and soundly trounced the Chis in their own bailiwick, something they have been unable to do for almost two years.Despite the double win, however, the Barber Poles are still behind the front-running Aces Royals who have been picking up momentum with every passing week. Now that the Senators appear to be more or less set, though, it should be a closer battle from here in. &#9632;

New Faces Bring Grin To Broda’s

<div class="byline">By ACE FOLEY</div>HALIFAX, N.S.&mdash;Halifax Atlantics and Charlottetown Islanders are at each other&rsquo;s throats again. The former hold first place in the Maritime Major (Big Four) Hockey League standings, and the latter are fourth, but they&rsquo;re the Number One feudists as they have been ever since Charlittetown returned to major hockey a few years ago.Atlantics have lost more games to Islanders than any other club, despite the great difference in the league standings. And every time they clash anything can happen.In their last meeting at Charlottetown the Islanders came up with a 6-2 victory. That snapped a Halifax victory skein at six straight. The game also produced an explosion.Halifax&rsquo;s Ross Watson and Charlottetown&rsquo;s Elwood Ritchie were tagged with match penalties for using their sticks on each other. Charlottetown defence star Gus Gustaveson was tagged with a match for jostling referee Laurie Power.President C. Roy Macdonald clamped down in the offenders. Watson and Ritchie will each pay $25 into the league treasury and sit out two games. Gustaveson was clipped for $100 but no suspension.Three match penalties in one game Is unusual even for riotous Martitime League play. There were several last season but they came one at a time.The league has decided that the 14-player roster, as an economy move, may be enlarged at the discretion of the clubs, but only 14 players will be permitted to dress for any one game.A proposal to change the refereeing systern from one referee and two linesmen to two referees will be left with the president. The policy has been two regular referees and two home linemen for each game.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0017-01275/1674714-1-eng-US/f0017-012.jpg" title="f0017-01" width="300" height="459"><figcaption class="caption-body">Dugger McNeil</figcaption></div>Larry Travis, who came East to play with Charlottetown Islanders will be continuing his college career, has had his case aired by the league. Travis, now attending Dalhousie University in Halifav, has played two home games with Atlantics and one with his old club, Islanders, who came to Halifax one night with a depleted roster. The league has ruled that Travis must get a playing card from one of the club before he is permitted to play again.The meeting was informed by Charlottetown Islanders that they were getting new players in and hoped to vacate the cellar shortly. Glace Bay also hopes to soar when centres Tommy Fyles and Kenny Watson get back Into action.<h2>Strenuous Battle</h2>So far it has been a strenuous two-way battle for first place between Dugger McNeil&rsquo;s Atlantics and Terry Reardon&rsquo;s Sydney Millionaires. When the A&rsquo;s pasted the Mills 6-2 In Halifax it sent them out front by a single game. It was the largest margin between the clubs at any time this season. Most of the games have been decided by a single goal, some of them in overtime.Halifax A&rsquo;s, undermanned since centre Billy Watson decided he didn&rsquo;t want to play here any more and Bingo Ernst was transported back to Valleyfield have been making good time on shor lines. At one stage they were down to 10 players as against 14 for the other clubs. Most they can ice at any time, if all are in good health, is 12. They hope ti have a new centre asd a new winger shortly.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0017-02234/1674707-1-eng-US/f0017-022.jpg" title="f0017-02" width="607" height="611"><figcaption class="caption-body">Goal GetterPETE WYROT</figcaption></div>Terry Reardon has developed into the &lsquo;hollar guy&rsquo; of the circuit. His sharp tongue keeps the Mills shaking like madmen, but it can&rsquo;t seem to make them better scorers. Their big weakness is lack of scoring power. They skate with the fastest evry time out.Best scorers wore the Halifax uniforms. Billy Ford is still tops, with veteran Pete Wywrot second and young Doug McPhee third. Ford is the top goal-getter, Wywrot the leading playmaker. &#9632;

Atlantics, Islanders Feud Hot and Heavy

MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Local counting - houses ran a fever here this week when one of their hockey teams copied Red O&rsquo;Quinn&rsquo;s football tactic. Only two days later at that.The O&rsquo;Quinn tackle of Bernie Custis received coast to coast notoriety after the Alouettes 22-11 defeat by Hamilton Ticats in the Big Four Football Union playoff.The red-headed end late in the third quarter suddenly leaped off Als&rsquo; bench lunged over the sideline and tackled the swivelhipped back who was headed for a touchdown.It could be that such high-jinks are contagious among redheads. For in the Montreal Financial Hockey League game at St. Laurent Arena, Bank of Nova Scotia and Dominions were tied 5-5 late in the final chukker.Suddenly, at 19:31, Neil (Red) Walsh jumped the. dasher and skated madly after Dominion&rsquo;s winger Claude Lamothe who already had two tallies to his credit. Walsh cheeked Lamothe, and the alert referee, Jay Evans, awarded a penalty shot.Lamothe took the penalty shot. He scored and Dominions beat Scotians 6-5. The Nova Scotia coach, Jim Gray, who is also president of the league, was ready to take the gaspipe.Referee Evans said that when he saw that a relief had not been completed and the Nova Scotia team had seven men on the ice, he was ready with his decision.&ldquo;We were talking about the Sunday football game just before this Tuesday night hockey game, and somebody kid-ded : &lsquo;what would you do if something like that should happen in hockey and you were the referee ?&rsquo; We looked it up and so we were ready.&ldquo;It&rsquo;s covered in Rule 66-G.&rdquo; said Evans.Al Parsley. &#9632;

<div class="byline">By CHICK APPEL</div><h2>Kitchener Leads By 16 Fat Points</h2>STRATFORD, Ont.&mdash;On the basis of their record to date, Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen, 195253 OHA and Allan Cup champions, loom like repeaters in the &ldquo;Big Eight&rdquo; senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; OHA this season.In nine starts the Dutchmen have won eight and lost one, have the fewest goals scored against them, 20, while picking up 52 counters, a record of almost six goals per game they have parked behind opposing goalies. Bill Harrington, Kitchener junior Greenshirt of last season, is the regular twine, custodian, but last season&rsquo;s netminder, Keith Woodall, is held as a capable replacement.All other teams in the group have played 11 or more games, and yet Kitchener is leading the pack at time of writing with 16 points, ont more than Chatham oMaroons, who have played 15 games and boast of compiling 15 points. Windsor Bulldogs, another club giving every promise of sticking right up there with the contenders, are tied for third spot with Owen Sound Mercurys and Hamilton Tigers with 14 points apiece. Stratford Indians are alone in fourth place with 13 points, but have played 14 games.Just how powerful Kitchener Dutchmen really are can be gained from a squint at their curuent roster, which includes no less than seven new players, excluding goalie Harrington.<h3>Staunch Defense</h3>They still have their staunch defence of Clare Martin, Howie Lee, Art Hurst and Harry Psutka intact from last season, which has been bolstered by Mike Delicti, one of their newcomers. True, they lost Harvey Jacklin and Ray Hannigan to the Hamilton Tigers, but have added Wally Hnatiuk, Ken Laufman, Johnny Muretich, George Scholes and Gerry The-berge, all experienced and proven senior pucksters.Add to this roster Jack McKenzie, Don Rope and Charlie Brooker of their championship s&rsquo;quad, and it all adds up to a defensively tight club.They still have three of last season&rsquo;s team, who have not appeared in uniform as yet but who are available. Bobby Schnurr, Don Bauer and Maurice Levesque.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0017-03177/1674769-1-eng-US/f0017-032.jpg" title="f0017-03" width="611" height="614"><figcaption class="caption-body">AdditionJOHN MURETICH</figcaption></div>And although Windsor Bulldogs are only tied with Owen Sound and Hamilton for third place, the experienced bunch of players Murph Chamberlain has assembled at Windsor suggests that the Bulldogs may be the club to give the Dutchmen their toughest opposition for the title.A new entry this season, Windsor was forced to start from scratch, but Chamberlain has built well and has a bunch of puckchasers with real backgrounds in top junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; competition and later senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; and pro company, most of them imported from the Maritime Senior League, where he piloted the Charlottetown Islanders a year ago.Nick Pidsodny in the Windsor cage gives the Bulldogs ample protection, the Hamilton boy being classed on par with any other goalie in the league.Back of the blue line such talent as Dick Kotanen, Jack Powers, Doug Towers and Elmer Skov have been giving rival attackers a rough, rugged path to the Windsor goal.<h3>Plenty of Power</h3>Up front the Bulldogs have one offensive unit that bids fair to figure in the top ten point-scorers when the season ends. Right now his trio is right in the thick of the leaders, with Alec Birukow centering Fnank Bathgate and Lyle Wiseman. On another line they have Fred Hildebrand, who takes no penalties but plays hockey all the time, and it has brought results, because the little leftwinger is averaging two goals per game.<h2>Bulldogs May Pose Their Toughest Foes</h2>That doesn&rsquo;t tell all the story however, because Gary Gordon, Gord Haidy, Bob Hayes. Johnny Horeck, Earl &ldquo;Trapper&rdquo; Keyes and Wally Kullman are all names not strange to hockey&rsquo;s ice lanes.Sarnia Sailors have only won three and tied two of 11 games, and Niagara Falls Cataracts, with a record of two wins and 11 losses in 13 games, which is not a very impressive record, but have added playing material recently and both have had much more success of late.Right now Kitchener, Chatham, Windsor, Owen Sound. Hamilton and Stratford are battling for the six playoff posittions, with Kitchener only three points up on Stratford in first place, while the latter hold down the last money berth. &#9632;

Well-Balanced Dutchmen Loom As Top Contenders in Senior OHA

<div class="byline">By AL AUSTIN</div>GUELPH, Ont.&mdash;Those mumblings echoing through the OH A, junior &lsquo;A&rsquo; ranks &hellip; could it be the other teams have discovered that Guelph Biltmore&rsquo;s Bob Attersley Is a hypnotist?Attersley is currently leading the junior scoring race and sooner or later cries of &ldquo;voodoo&rdquo; and &ldquo;black magic&rdquo; will be hurled at the clever centreman, and an investigation launched into his impressive scoring figures.Little more than a year ago&mdash;when Attersley was performing for the Oshawa Generals&mdash;he developed an interest in the mystic art and was encouraged by Oshawa&rsquo;s sports announcer Paul Sommerville, a hypnotist himself. &ldquo;I used to trail the Great Morton all over the country,&rdquo; Attersley admits, &ldquo;just so I could study his technique.&rdquo;<h2>Technique&rsquo;s a Wow!</h2>And what a technique! Most of the Mad Hatters have fallen victim to one of Rapid Roberts exhibition. The payoff came a week ago. Biltmores were returning from a game with Barrie Flyers and before reaching Guelph Attersley put two of his mates &ldquo;under&rdquo; and directed them to carry everyone&rsquo;s equipment Into the locker room when the bus arrived at Memorial Gardens. Lo and behold, the day a hockey player would carry somebody else&rsquo;s equipment save his own; but they did! Every last bag of it.It&rsquo;s not hard to see that this thing has a great future. If Attersley ever gets close enough to the opposing goalies to give them the evil eye the junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; record books will have to be rewritten; the way Attersley has been going they might have&rsquo;to be anyhow. Come to think of it maybe the rule book will have to be rewritten too.Three games ago Attersley put teammate Johnny Gillis under and ordered him to play a terrific game of hockey. He woke Gillis up at game time and when the contest was all over Blit coach Alf Pike scratched his head and said, &ldquo;That&rsquo;s the best Gillis has gone all season.&rdquo; &#9632;

Attersley Puts Evil Eye On Opposition

<div class="byline">By DON LOBB</div>KELOWNA, B.C.&mdash;With a 64-game schedule one quarter completed in the Okanagan Senior Amateur Hockey League, Vernon Canadians, with freshman coach George Agar at the tiller, have a seven-point stranglehold on first place.A four-team wheel taking in Penticton Vees, Kelowna Packers and the Kamloops Elks, piloted by Commissioner Billy McCullough, a tough Interlocking schedule with the Western Hockey League extended the season 10 games this year.Agar&rsquo;s crew has been the hottest thing in the loop so far this season as is testified by their lofty perch in the standings. Grant Warwick, also making his debut at the reins, had his charges right on the heels of the Agarmen until recently when underdig Kalownac, bossed by Phil Hergeshelmer and Kamloops with Ken Ullyot at the helm, roared back to slap them around.Actually Vernon have a decided edge and although the average might not show it, the remaining clubs are bunched at the turn. Kamloops is expected ti wax exceedingly warm momentarily and Kelowna gave Indications of a streak of their own as they missed whipping Canucks by one marker and slapped a whitwash on Penticton.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0018-02201/1674855-1-eng-US/f0018-022.jpg" title="f0018-02" width="556" height="917"><figcaption class="caption-body">PHIL HERGESHEIMER</figcaption></div>Grant Warwick paced the goal-getters until last week when a hat trick and four assists by Don Culley of Kelowna boasted him to the fore.As during last season, the trio of Warwick brothers, Grant, Bill and Dick are a constant threat playing as a unit. Ivan McLelland between the Penticton pipes is also a force to reckon with. He registered the league&rsquo;s first shutout in his second appearance October 10 but his feat has since been emulated by Hal Gordon if Kamloops and Al Laface of-Kelowna.Agar relies on a speedy forward wall which includes Bing Juckes, Jack Miller, Dick Butler and Bob Ballance to mention a few of his goal-hungry mib, and classy John Sofiak, master of the forward pass, in goal. A hustling fighting crew.Hergeshelmer at Kelowna has had more than his share of woes. He was gifted with a trio of junior puckchasers from last season&rsquo;s St. Giniface Canadiens, but the kids proved so tempermental that &lsquo;The Phantom&rsquo; threw up his hands in disgust. Homebrew Al Laface In goal is a honey.Culley, deadly In front of the opposition&rsquo;s twine, teams with, steady Mike Durban and newcomer Joe Cinnors for the most effective line but they are being close pressed by a second string line that carried most of the 1952 threat, Jim Middleton, Frank Hoskins and Ken Amundrud.The recent acquisition of Jack &lsquo;Kink&rsquo; Kirk, formerly of Victlria Cougars bolstered the Packer defensive setup considerably as well as supplying a lot of colour ti the club.Ullyot&rsquo;s tailtenders can also boast some mighty fine talent. Don Slater from Westminster Royals was a prayer answered as he wirked in well with Ken Booth, Jim Fleming, Andy Clovechok and Ullyot himself. Any day now the northermost crew should take the bit in their teeth for a stretch drive through the statistics. &#9632;
