NHL’s New Draft Law Good Despite Lack Of Big Deals
BOSTON:— The National League’s new draft law is working out well in its first test, in the opinion of Clarence Campbell. The National League president expressed satisfaction with the progress of the draft setup as the featured speaker at the Boston Bruins’ annual introductory luncheon here. “People have said that it hasn’t been very successful because there haven’t been many deals’’, said Campbell, “but that isn’t the true test of the rule. “There were a number of deals engineered in advance of the draft which were prompted by it, and a number of others have been transacted under the new draft conditions. “In addition, I expect that some clubs will have to make up their minds about other players before December 1, when the player limit drops, and that can mean further deals.” Campbell described…

For the season opener with Montreal and the second game with New York, temperatures at Boston Garden ranged into the high 80s. For the third game with Toronto - the thermometer registered near 80. Despite the record weather, all three games were played at top speed on good ice, installed in the busy Garden more than a week before the opening of the season.…
Banned Players Given Warning
ST. JONH’S Nfld.— Players fleeing the wrath of other hockey Associations needn’t think that the Newfoundland Amateur Hockey Association is any haven of rescue. So said Ralph Colyer, president of the NAHA, commenting on a report that junior Eddie Dannyluck of Glace Bay, NS, was heading toward Newfoundland under suspension from the Quebec Junior Hockey League before changing his mind and returning to the Quebec Frontenac club managed by Phil Watson. “We never had a suspended CAHA player in our league and will not tolerate any in the future,’’ Colyer said.…
