Gordie Fashoway Is Big Gun For Unpredictable NW Royals
NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C.— Fashoway, Love, Durham, Dechene, Shibicky, MacKenzie and Dorohoy. What’s in a name? Plenty. Ask the Cougars, Canucks or any of the teams in the WHL and all of them will tell you the heart and backbone of the NW Royals revolves around the individuals listed above. Fashoway is the club’s big gun, the guy who scores the goals, the winger who is as good a scorer as there is outside the NHL. Gord was leading the league in scoring with 33 goals when we went to press. This made him the top marksman in all the play-for-pay leagues. NW’s prolific marksman had 16 assists for 49 points in 49 games for a good one-point-per-game-average. He was tied with Mark Marquess of Seattle for most game winning goals; each has five.…

Sugar Sizzles At Smythe’s Statement That Jim Henry Has lost Coaling Touch
BOSTON, Mass.— There are undoubtedly ways of beating the Boston Bruins, but one of them is not by belittling their goaltender. The Detroit Red Wings learned that fact last spring when Sugar Jim Henry held them off to provide the biggest Stanley Cup upset of modern times. The Toronto Maple Leafs became acquainted with it recently when Sugar Jim shut them out in a game here. Both times the veteran Bruins’ goal-tender was stung by unfavorable comments about his ability. Detroit won the first playoff game last spring by a land slide, and the Detroit papers made Henry the”goat” of the game. The Bruins’ goal-tender, they inferred in various ways, was a soft touch for the mighty Red Wings. Henry, who hides his actual feelings behind an habitual smile, absorbed the ridicule — and sizzled inwardly.…
