I would like to hear from fans who have old sets of pictures of NHL players of the past and who are willing to sell them.</p><p>The pictures are from 1930-46. There were about four different companies that put out this type of picture. Sizes were 5&rdquo; x 7&rdquo; or 8&rdquo; x 10&rdquo;.</p><p>Fans who have such pictures for sale should write to me enclosing a list of them. The address is 1577 Pacific Ave., Winnipeg, Man. I would also like to get programs.</p><p>E. Skowronek Winnipeg, Man.</p><h2>Belting Beliveau</h2><p>Dear Sirs:</p><p>I don&rsquo;t suppose this letter will be published, because I&rsquo;m going to be very frank&hellip; but I would still like to inquire about three things that are annoying me.</p><p>They are: 1. Is Jean Beliveau afraid of the NHL; 2. is he overrated, or: 3. Is he just plain lazy?</p><p>I realize, of course, that only Beliveau can answer those questions.</p><p>Before I go any further I would like to say that I am a Canadiens fan and I hate to see them lose, but I think Richard has carried his team long enough.</p><p>A note to Mr. Beliveau: They paid a big price for you, so don&rsquo;t let your team or your fans down. You have to make a scoring beginning or you may have a failure for an ending. It may even cost us our team championship at the end of the year. So&hellip; let&rsquo;s get started, and good luck.</p><p>Mrs. L. Brideau. Boston, Mass.</p><h2>A Pat on the Back</h2><p>Dear Sirs:</p><p>This is just a letter to inform you how much I enjoy reading THE HOCKEYS NEWS. For some time I had been searching for articles and magazines on hockey, but all I could find was in our daily newspapers. Then, one day in October I discovered THE HOCKEY NEWS at one of the corner stores and have been getting it ever since.</p><p>I particularly like the crossword puzzles and pictures of players that are in your paper each week. I would like it very much if you could put photos of all the NHL teams, but otherwise there are no complaints from me about your hockey coverage.</p><p>The schedules of many leagues and the Fan Forum are really interesting. Now that I&rsquo;ve discovered THE HOCKEY NEWS I will never be without it and I&rsquo;m sure everyone feels the same way. Please print this in the Fan Forum.</p><p>William Brown, East Saint John, NB.</p><h2>And A Kick In The Teeth</h2><p>Dear Sirs,</p><p>How much gall has THE HOCKEY NEWS got? Printing a story about a great player like Max Bentley who gave so many good years of his career to the NHL.</p><p>It was a disgrace the treatment he received in this article in your front page. Do you not think he has the human right to try to get the best possible deal? Did you ever stop to think how much money he has made over the years for the club owners? Was that outrageous?</p><p>But along comes a story out of Toronto, written by one of Smythe&rsquo;s writers, and they all are, and you make an issue out of it. Have you ever printed the player&rsquo;s side of a story? Try it sometime, even if Smythe or Campbell don&rsquo;t like it.</p><p>It has been fine players like Bentley, Reise and McNeil that have kept the game going, so print their side of the stories. I know one thing that would get the sanction of all players, and that is to have Maurice Richard start his own paper, soon as he quits, of course, and print the players&rsquo; honest viewpoint.</p><p>Mr. Campbell and directors have taken their freedom of speech away from every hockey player. That is why Mr. Campbell has yet to make a decision in favor of a player, to my knowledge. He is not even a good overseer of hockey to let a fellow of Phil Watson&rsquo;s calibre threaten a young boy of 18 with life suspension, thus depriving him of making a living at his chosen profession.</p><p>If you wish to change your course and write the player&rsquo;s viewpoint you might consider starting with the Jack Jackson case which happened in Seattle in early &lsquo;52. Some of the hockey fans would be shocked to know this treatment handed this fine fellow.</p><p>Aside from all these facts mentioned, I enjoy THE HOCKEY NEWS to read about a lot of my many friends who are still playing. I wish them all good luck, more especially the goaltender&rsquo;s union.</p><p>I think it would be a wise move for the players to adopt a resolution calling for all players who have given eight years of professional service to be made free agents.</p><p>Nelson &ldquo;Freckles&rdquo; Little, Montreal, P.Q.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

THE FAN FORUM

<div class="byline">By ACE FOLEY</div><p>HALIFAX, NS.&mdash;</p><p>After two weeks of intensive play, there was a four-way race for early honors in the Atlantic Coast Hockey League. Charlottetown Islanders, off to the slowest start, were beginning to pick up even though they suffered the loss of their playing coach, big Hugh Campbell.</p><p>For the past two years Campbell, an outstanding figure with Halifax Atlantics and Glace Bay Miners, has had a serious stomach ailment. How he completed the 1953-54 schedule was a mystery to his Glace Bay teammates.</p><p>After a long summer&rsquo;s rest Campbell figured his troubles were over and he accepted an offer to become playing coach with the Islanders. He played three games, then suddenly decided to quit hockey.</p><p>Big Hugh is an honor graduate of Halifax St. Mary&rsquo;s, eightime Maritime junior champions and familiar figures in Memorial Cup play. He had a tryout with New York Rangers and played one season under Lynn Patrick at New Haven.</p><p>He was in the RCAF at Ottawa for a year, then returned to Halifax to lineup with St. Mary&rsquo;s in major league play. When Atlantics took over from the Saints he remained in the fold and was regarded as the league&rsquo;s policeman. He was one of the most penalized players, in the league and much of his salary went into the league coffers for fines. Once the Halifax fans took up a collection to pay for his misdemeanours but Campbell, in a characteristic gesture, turned the money over to charity.</p><h2>Distinct Loss</h2><p>It was a distinct loss to Charlottetown to see Campbell retire. He handled the Glace Bay Miners in the latter stages of the Big Four major league last winter when Don Penniston returned to his Montreal home. He made such a fine impression Charlottetown lost no time contacting him when they learned Glace Bay would not have a team this season.</p><p>Many of the Halifax Atlantics stalwarts, who won the Alexander Cup in 1953 and &lsquo;54, are now in Moncton where the Hawks are battling with the Islanders, Fredericton Capitals and Amherst Ramblers for the early lead in the Coast League.</p><p>Joining player-coach Douglas (Dugger) McNeil are Gene LeClerc, scoring star in the final playoff game last season, high scorer Bob Bowness and former Halifax star Bert Hirschfeld, who has been with Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Flyers and Providence Reds.</p><p>Meanwhile Halifax goes ahead with its plans to play for the first time in the oldest league in the Maritimes, the Antigonish-Pictou-Colchester loop. Jimmy Gray, former Halifax star whose athletic career was cut short by a broken leg sustained in a baseball game, has been named president of the Wolverines, the name of the club which won the Allan Cup back in 1935.</p><h2>Leading Light</h2><p>Leading light in the Halifax organization is Aiderman J.E. (Gee) Ahern, former mayor, long time sports enthusiast, sports editor and former defense star.</p><p>How Halifax will react to senior hockey after so many years in the top brackets of the major division is the question that is intriguing this city. If it is a well balanced league and Halifax has a contender it is thought that senior hockey will be acceptable.</p><p>The league will open Nov. 20, two weeks earlier than had been anticipated. The annual search for players is now on in earnest and Terry Reardon, now general manager of Providence Reds and last year playing coach for Sydney Millionaires, has promised assistance.</p><p>There will be no senior hockey In Cape Breton this winter. For a while there was talk of a three team league with Sydney, Glace Bay and New Waterford in action. But all hopes to get a league going have collapsed.</p><p>Junior hockey, however, will flourish again with four teams in the league and all getting ready to open the schedule. North Sydney Franklins, who won the Maritime championship the past two seasons, will operate on a reduced scale this season, going with more local players and fewer imports.</p><p>SHORT SHOTS&mdash;Roy (Buck) Whitlock, greatest scorer in Maritime hockey history, is still on the beam. Buck starts slowly but has already gotten his share of goals and is favored to win the league title, in goals if not in total points&hellip; Nick Pidsodny, who first came to the Maritimes to play goal for Sydney Millionaires under Murph Chamberlain, is back again, this time, with Moncton Hawks. And the fiery Nick is still as colorful as ever. He put on a scuffle the other night that had the rink rocking&hellip;Some years ago, on a night when the thermometer was riding the 20 below mark, he was doused by irate Glace Bay fans as he skated off at the end of a period. He was showered with debris many times. Last year he was back with Chamberlain in Windsor, Ont., but now he has returned to his favorite hunting grounds.</p><h2><b>He&rsquo;s Been Around</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0018-0360/1159760-1-eng-US/f0018-032.jpg" title="f0018-03" width="554" height="1944"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>BERT HIRSCHFELD</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

NHL Trade Winds Blowing?

<p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>The plight of the &ldquo;Weak Sisters&rdquo; of the National Hockey League, namely Chicago and Boston at this point in the NHL race, will be the main topic of discussion at the owners meeting to be held in New York, November 9.</p><p>The main purpose of this get together is to try and evaluate the player strength of the various clubs and see if something can&rsquo;t be done to create a little more balance in the league by having one of the stronger teams part with one or two players to help the stragglers.</p><p>This marks the first year that the owners, as a body, have forgotten their personal feuds and got together in an effort to help their league in general.</p><p>The big thing the owners are trying to get away from this year is the &ldquo;creation&rdquo; of two divisions in the NHL. The strong top three and the weak bottom three. With this in mind, they called this unprecendented meeting to try and straighten out the situation. Originally, the meeting was scheduled for the first week in December but the owners felt that the time for action was now&mdash;not when it might be too late to help some club that needed strengthening.</p><p>At the present moment the clubs are allowed to carry and play 18 players plus two goal-keepers. After December they&rsquo;ll have to comply with NHL regulations which stipulate that they may dress only 16 players and two goal-keepers. That means that teams that are presently overstaffed with good NHL material would be in a position to dispose of some of their surplus talent to clubs that are looking for assistance.</p><p>The Chicago Black Hawks, who have made more trades than an Algierian Bazaar salesman since the season got underway, are still in need of some bonafide NHL material (yes, they&rsquo;ll settle for Geoffrion). They could are another good defenseman and a high-scoring forward. What they haven&rsquo;t been able to get with all their trades, is a player who can put the puck in the net consistently.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Cullen Goes To Pittsburgh As Leafs Call MacDonald

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><p>CHICAGO, III.&mdash;</p><p>Billy Mosienko, brushing aside his personal feelings, chose to stick with the Black Hawks for one more game recently before taking a brief leave of absence to be with his family in Winnipeg for the funeral of his 39-year-old brother who died there suddenly October 30.</p><p>It was a decision that resulted in Chicago&rsquo;s acquisition of another valued point in the National Hockey League race. &ldquo;Mosie&rdquo;, although unable to hide his sorrow, didn&rsquo;t let it affect his play as he notched the only Chicago goal to bring about a 1-1 deadlock with the Rangers in New York.</p><p>Although he has now turned 33, Mosienko proved then and there that he&rsquo;s still one of the fastest and most elusive puck handlers to be found. His marker was decisive all the way and he showed plenty of the flash and vigor that first earned him the right to perform in NHL company.</p><p>The play was a picture-like effort as he swept the puck from Blueshirt winger Jackie McLeod and proceeded down the ice on a clean breakaway. &ldquo;Gump&rdquo; Worsley sprawled in front of his cage at the last instant, but the rubber slithered through him to give the Hawks the deadlock at 8:57 of the final stanza.</p><p>As teammates crowded around with grasping hands of happiness, Billy came forth with a small smile, but that was all for his thoughts were in Winnipeg. He was happier when the game was over and the path was cleared for his hurried trip home to be with other surviving loved ones.</p><p>The saga of Bill Mosienko has written nightmares across the history of the Rangers. In his 14 years in the big time, he has been a constant headache to the Manhattan men and his goal-getting record clearly shows the success he&rsquo;s had in attacks on New York nets.</p><p>Only a handful of other present day stars have had as much in gains in this department at the expense of the Rangers. As things stand right now, Maurice Richard, the Canadien who sets a new mark every time he scores, is the only sniper ahead of Bill against the Blueshirts.</p><p>Mosienko&rsquo;s most memorable night in New York may well remain in the record books forever&mdash;so amazing was his accomplishment in Madison Square Garden the night of March 23, 1952 as the season closed. He potted a three-goal hat trick in just 21 seconds to give Chicago a last minute 7-6 decision.</p><p>An accompanying record with the same figures remains the proud possession of Gus Bodnar, now with Boston, who assisted on all three markers. The Rangers will remember, however, the map, who put the puck in the net&mdash;a blonde-locked streak of hockey wizardry named William Mosienko.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0469/1157949-1-eng-US/f0002-042.jpg" title="f0002-04" width="388" height="608"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Bill Mosienko</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Do you remember?…

<div class="byline">By STAN HOUSTON</div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>When King Clancy was indulging in the coaches&rsquo; preseason prerogative of selecting their 20-goal prospects, Ron Stewart&rsquo;s name was never mentioned.</p><p>This was not because the Leaf coacher minimizes the ability of his young right wing ace. It was instead because The King planned so many other assignments for Stew that triggering goals seemed a bit much to ask.</p><p>Yet, with the same effortless, almost nonchalant approach that typifies Detroit&rsquo;s Gord Howe, the 22-year-old 180-pound Leaf has shouldered all the planned responsibility and still scored enough goals to make him Leafs&rsquo; outstanding candidate for the doubledecade deal.</p><p>The most shifted piece of furniture in the game of musical chairs that Clance and Assistant GM Hap Day have been operating in trying to create winning line combinations, Stew hasn&rsquo;t remained in one place long enough to chip the ice. He has played with the first, second, third and fourth Leaf lines and with almost every conceivable combination of, them. And he has spent even more time killing penalties than playing on all the lines put together.</p><p>Still, after eight starts, the six foot-one-inch smoothie owns four goals to lead the club in that department. And, naturally, each came with a different combination.</p><p>He scored first while killing a penalty against New York. Then, against Boston on a night when he played, right wing for three forward combinations, he scored with two of them. And, tried with still another unit against New York last week, he and his penalty-killing partner, Rudy Migay, set one another up for the goals that landed Leafs their first home win.</p><p>Such nomadic experiences would disturb almost any normal hockey player. But to Stew, it&rsquo;s old stuff.</p><p>From the start of his hockey career he has been passed around like the Queen of Spades in a Hearts game.</p><p>He started as a goaltender in his hometown of Calgary back in 1945. And hardly had he become accustomed to the idea of preventing goals than he was providing them as the league&rsquo;s leading centreman for three straight years.</p><p>When he was lured out of the oil fields in 1949, his solid build deceived Toronto Marlboro officials into employing him as a defenseman. And a year later, when they discovered he had as much if not more speed than Leafs&rsquo; Sid Smith, he was pushed still farther forward to right wing.</p><p>He ran a shuttle service from defense to forward that year and wound up his junior career by playing every position on four OHA teams in one year. He started with Marlies, moved to Windsor, thence to Galt and finally wound up leading the Guelph team from which six current New York Rangers developed, to the Memorial Cup.</p><p>Through this fantastic career as a virtual chess-piece, the versatile Stew retains an exceptionally indifferent philosophy.</p><p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t care where I play, just 80 long as I play,&rdquo; he says.</p><p>But he does state a preference for penalty killing, a chore most players consider a Joe-job.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a little more work, but when you do it right, it&rsquo;s more satisfaction,&rdquo; Stew states.</p><p>It is fortunate for Leafs that he does enjoy the job. They desperately need him there. The fastest man on the club, the best forechecker and one of the most alert opportunists both offensively and defensively, he has all the equipment to handle that specialized job. And along with Migay, the workhorse who overcomes his small stature and inferior skating with willpower, he has made the penalty killing job of Leafs the only department Clancy could cheer about through the first three weeks of the campaign.</p><p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;re the best what is,&rdquo; Clance says. &ldquo;When they&rsquo;re out there, I sometimes feel we&rsquo;re stronger with a man disadvantage than we are at full strength.&rdquo;</p><p>And on top of it all, Stew pots goals. He had 13 as a rookie, 14 last season and he&rsquo;s headed for the magic number this season.</p><p>Incidentals&hellip;Harry Watson, who only a week earlier had entered the NHL&rsquo;s 200-goal club, was sidelined three weeks to a month when he suffered torn ligaments in his left knee Oct. 30&hellip;To replace him, Parker MacDonald was summoned from Toronto&rsquo;s Pittsburgh Hornet farm club in the AHL&hellip;The return portion of MacDonald&rsquo;s fare was used by roogie Brian Cullen, who was loaned out on an immediate recall basis after being tried as a centre and left wing in his leap from junior hockey to the big league&hellip;Leaf President Conn Smythe followed his love of thoroughbreds on a week-long excursion to Lexington, Kentucky&hellip;Referee Scotty Morrison made an impressive big-league debut handling the Leaf-Ranger game Oct. 30.&hellip;In an effort to take the team off the skids.

King Tabbed Stew To Do Everything But Score Goals

<div class="byline">By DANA MOZLEY</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>Some people will do funny things, when there&rsquo;s nothing better to do. Just when the Rangers caught a rising tide, a bunch of the boys sat down the other day and sold the Broadway Blues, one-by-one, on the open market.</p><p>This rainy-day auction was strictly imaginary, fortunately. But the results were interesting. It was concluded, after proper cogitation, that neither Nick Mickoski nor Wally Hergesheimer nor Paul Ronty nor Gump Worsley nor any of the flashy, young forwards would bring the highest price&mdash;in American or Canadian currency. The Rangers&rsquo; most precious item right now is a 21-year-old defenseman, Harry Howell.</p><p>Although he doesn&rsquo;t have the flash of Red Kelly or the awesome bulk of Butch Bouchard, there isn&rsquo;t a club in the NHL that doesn&rsquo;t covet this grinning young man from Hamilton, Ont. Lynn Patrick, who saw him first five years ago at a training camp in Guelph, might easily be persuaded to part with a part of his anatomy&mdash;say a leg or an arm&mdash;to get Howell into Boston uniform.</p><p>&ldquo;I first saw Harry when he was 16,&rdquo; the Bruins&rsquo; double duty boss now reminds-himself. &ldquo;I took one look at his fine physique and tabbed him as an outstanding athlete. Nothing since has happened to change my mind.&rdquo;</p><p>Brother Muzz, who doesn&rsquo;t always agree with Lynn, was in full accord. Said he of the backbone of the Rangers&rsquo; rearguard:</p><p>&ldquo;Harry has only been in this league two years but he is already an established star. The way he&rsquo;s improving with experience, he could soon be an outstanding star. There&rsquo;s no doubt in my mind that he&rsquo;s definitely All-Star material this year.&rdquo;</p><p>What makes this precocious player, a junior amateur only two years ago, an established star?</p><p>&ldquo;Howell has no weaknesses as a defenseman,&rdquo; the Ranger coach explained. &ldquo;He can hit. He&rsquo;s aggressive. He&rsquo;s very good carrying the puck. His timing is excellent and so is his anticipation. He clears the puck well.</p><p>&ldquo;He is a strong skater, solid on his feet. He has a fine, accurate shot. I think one of the best indications of just how good I think he is is the fact I use him on our power play. How often do you see a 21-year-old defenseman on a power play?&rdquo;</p><p>For that matter, Muzz was asked, how often do you see a defenseman jump from the juniors right to the NHL?</p><p>&ldquo;Offhand, I can only remember Kelly doing it,&rdquo; he admitted. &ldquo;Most defensemen need minor league experience, often as much as four or five years.&rdquo;</p><p>If you read the fine print, you&rsquo;ll discover Howell did have some minor league seasoning. Three years ago, while Harry was playing with Guelph&rsquo;s Biltmores, they had a break in the mid-season schedule. Alfie Pike, the coach, took advantage of it by sending his ace rearguard and Ron Murphy to Cincinnati&mdash;for one game.</p><p>The most interesting thing about Harry, as far as the Rangers are concerned, is that he has a younger brother named Ron. According to the elder Howell, &ldquo;he&rsquo;s the real athlete of the family.&rdquo;</p><p>New York has had several fine brother combinations in the past and it is now felt that the Howells will make another one. Perhaps not as great as the Cooks, Bill and Bun, but possibly as good as Lynn and Muzz Patrick and Neil and Mac Colville.</p><p>Ron, now 18 and a husky, growing 180-pounder, is a defenseman like Harry&mdash;when he isn&rsquo;t playing football. The youngest player in Canadian pro football, he is a halfback With the Hamilton Tiger Cats. At the end of the season, he&rsquo;ll rejoin Guelph.</p><p>&ldquo;I guess he could make it up here in a couple of years, if he doesn&rsquo;t decide to stick to football,&rdquo; Harry says of his brother. &ldquo;He isn&rsquo;t very good on defense, yet, but he can sure carry the puck and shoot. They put him at center for one game at Guelph last year and he scored four goals.&rdquo;</p><p>The Rangers may even think a little more highly of Ron than his brother does. They sponsored Dundas Junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; for no other reason than to get the rights to the younger brother.</p><p>The son of a Hamilton furrier, Harry has always been a defenseman. &ldquo;I had a tough time skating and I was bigger than most of the kids, so they put me in the rear to stay,&rdquo; he explains now.</p><p>During his juvenile hitch in Hamilton, Howell caught the fancy of Andy Brown, Adam&rsquo;s dad and one of the Rangers&rsquo; top scouts. He was invited to the tryout camp the next fall (1949) in Guelph and there started in Junior &ldquo;B&rdquo;. Before the season was very far gone, he was in Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; and helped the Biltmores win the OHA championship.</p><p>For the next two years, he made Guelph his hockey home. In 1951-52, he was in a good part responsible for the Biltmores winning the Memorial Cup.</p><p>He still had one year of junior hockey left when he suddenly jumped to the big time. In the Rangers&rsquo; third game, in Montreal, Leo Reise crashed into a goalpost and separated a shoulder. An S.O.S. went out to Pike for help and Howell joined the club for the next game&mdash;in Toronto. He broke in with a goal&mdash;a lucky, long, looping shot&mdash;and did so well and continued to do so well that he never left the Rangers, even after Reise returned.</p><p>His years in hockey have not weighed heavily on the Rangers&rsquo; prize defenseman. His perpetual grin is evidence that he continues to get a big kick out of playing the game. He is one player who&rsquo;ll never wind up with a case of ulcers.</p><p>&lsquo;&lsquo;He&rsquo;s just a big, easy going kid,&rdquo; Bones Raleigh describes his former roommate in New York. &ldquo;When I first saw him, a good many years ago, he looked old at 16. Now he looks like a young 21. I don&rsquo;t think he&rsquo;s changed a bit.&rdquo;</p><p>Howell isn&rsquo;t rooming with bachelor Bones this year because he has another roommate who is much prettier. Not long after the close of last season, he married his high school sweetheart, Marilyn Gorrie. They are expecting the arrival of a little defenseman on next March 1.</p><p>There&rsquo;s one question you always ask a defenseman. &ldquo;What forward in the league gives you the most trouble?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;In this league, all forwards give me trouble,&rdquo; Harry admits. &ldquo;One guy I particularly didn&rsquo;t like to see come back was Bill Mosienko. He&rsquo;s so small and so fast and shifty that you have a hard time getting a good piece of him.</p><p>&ldquo;Of course,&rdquo; he added, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think there&rsquo;s anyone any shiftier or faster than Danny Lewicki. I&rsquo;m glad he&rsquo;s on our side.&rdquo;</p><p>If Mosienko does get hit by Howell, he may notice a difference. Harry, who is 6&rsquo;1&rdquo;, is now playing at 185 instead of 193, his accustomed weight.</p><p>&ldquo;I got down this Summer and haven&rsquo;t been able to put the weight back yet,&rdquo; he explained. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think I&rsquo;m any faster or quicker at 185. I should be heavier. Marilyn&rsquo;s a good cook and I&rsquo;m eating all she&rsquo;ll feed me so I expect to be full-grown again by the holidays.&rdquo;</p><p>Since Harry isn&rsquo;t getting paid by the pound, that is his problem. The Rangers, right now, will accept him as he is.</p><h2><b>Brothers Agree&hellip;</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-01108/1158049-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg" title="f0003-01" width="585" height="588"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>LYNN PATRICK</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>&hellip;Harry A Hit</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0290/1158042-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="597" height="612"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>MUZZ PATRICK</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>This Ranger No Stranger</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0359/1158035-1-eng-US/f0003-032.jpg" title="f0003-03" width="1773" height="2238"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Harry Howell, a Hamilton boy with a hockey future.</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Muzz Tabs Howell A Future All-Star

<div class="byline">By MILT DUNNELL (AS seen in the Toronto Star)</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0004-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-01176/1158118-1-eng-US/f0004-012.jpg"></div><p class="dropcap"><span>T</span>AKE a thick hide, a quick eye and tin ears. Mount them on runners and you have the vital parts of a referee. It&rsquo;s like the 1915 ballad of Henry Ford&rsquo;s model T, which went something like this: &ldquo;He took four spools and an old tin can; he called it a car and the d thing ran.&rdquo; Bill Chadwick has been gliding for 16 years in a league which has been known to fire a referee because some governor didn&rsquo;t like the way he combed his hair. George Gravel thought he had it licked. He had no hair. But even George sought asylum in a saner circuit. Chadwick is still around. He figures to be around for a spell. His Immediate superior, Carl Voss, supervisor of referees, calls Chadwick the best whistle-blower of all time. Maybe that proves a point, that if you want to succeed in your chosen profession, learn it from the top down.</p><p>Chadwick&rsquo;s career was built on a love for hockey, determination to succeed&mdash;and the failure of somebody else to show up. His playing days were launched with the New York stock exchange team in the Metropolitan League, He won promotion to the New York Rovers of the old Eastern Amateur League, because Baz Magaffin was called home suddenly to Toronto and there was no person to take his place. Chadwick and Magaffin have been buddies ever since.</p><p>One day, while Bill was sitting out with Injuries, a referee named Ray Levia was missing when he should have been at Madison Square Garden. Tommy Lockhart, who was president of the league, looked around frantically and spotted Bill. He told Chadwick: &ldquo;You&rsquo;re it.&rdquo; So, Bill dutifully skated out in his summer slacks and polo shirt. The first awful thought that assailed him was: &ldquo;What does a referee do with his hands?&rdquo; They seemed as big as a catcher&rsquo;s mitt. Some helpful soul told him: &ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t know what to do with your hands, Chadwick, keep waving them. You won&rsquo;t have them in your pockets, at least.&rdquo; That was the start of the Chadwick code of gestures. When Bill gave a penalty for holding he grabbed his wrist. If he gave a penalty for tripping, he smote his own shin. A few folks may have figured he was showboating, but most of them appreciated the tip-off on the penalty coming up.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-02157/1158111-1-eng-US/f0004-022.jpg" title="f0004-02" width="601" height="940"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>BILL CHADWICK</b></figcaption></div><p>ONLY a year and a half after his pinch-hitting role in the Eastern Amateur, Chadwick was a linesman in the NHL. Midway through the season of &rsquo;39-&rsquo;40, he worked his first game. In the &rsquo;41-&rsquo;42 season, he was unveiled as a referee. A friend advised him: &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t get to regarding the job as permanent. They stay long enough for a cup of coffee in this league.&rdquo; There were plenty of times when it sounded like sage advice.</p><p>&ldquo;It used to be that every time a player got a penalty he wanted to debate it,&rdquo; Chadwick recalls. &ldquo;He can&rsquo;t do that now. If a player argues a penalty, there&rsquo;s an automatic misconduct, and it&rsquo;s up to the referee to enforce it. From the referee&rsquo;s standpoint, that&rsquo;s the finest rule they ever put in the book. The referee shouldn&rsquo;t go looking for trouble. Once he has inflicted the penalty, he should skate out of the way until the player goes to the penalty bench. If the referee stands in the player&rsquo;s path, it&rsquo;s altogether likely the player will have something to say.&rdquo;</p><p>Until a few years ago, it was considered perfectly ethical for a club manager, coach, or even the stick boy to invade the referee&rsquo;s room between periods or after a game. Sometimes the poor referee would have a spokesman from both teams to impress him with the belief he was lousing up the game. Now, the referee&rsquo;s room is out of bounds for either club. Sometimes the raids on the referee&rsquo;s hideaway had laughable results. During a game in Chicago, Red Dutton, then coaching Americans, barged in and asked Chadwick whether he happened to be carrying a tape measure. Much to Red&rsquo;s surprise, no doubt, the freshman Chadwick answered: &ldquo;Yes, Mr. Dutton, I am carrying a tape.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Then, I want you to measure LoPresti&rsquo;s pads,&rdquo; Red snapped. &ldquo;I say they&rsquo;re over-width.&rdquo; LoPresti was the Chicago goalie at the time. Before play resumed for the next period, Chadwick applied the tape to his pads. They were 10&frac12; inches&mdash;half an inch overwidth. Dutton was jubilant.</p><p>&ldquo;Now, I&rsquo;d like you to measure Rayner&rsquo;s pads,&rdquo; coach Paul Thompson of the Hawks announced. Chuck, who was playing goal for Amerks, had been warned by Dutton not to flatten out his pads until the measuring took place. But habit is a disarming foe, and Chuck had given his pads the usual whacks with the stick as he took his place in goal.</p><p>When Chadwick measured they were 11&frac14; inches across. Both Dutton and Thompson agreed it might be best to go on with the game.</p><p>THEORETICALLY, a referee is without a friend in the world, arid that&rsquo;s how he is supposed to live. Until neutral linesmen were introduced to the league, the referee traveled alone. He even avoided the hotels patronized by the clubs. Conversation with players, on or off the ice, is considered in bad taste. Yet moments of levity are not completely lacking in his work. During a game in Chicago, some kook in the stands threw a bag of beans on the ice. The beans scattered in every direction. Big Butch Bouchard, skating lazily past Chadwick, grunted: &ldquo;Now, if you have some bacon in your pocket, I will cook your breakfast, Mons. Chadwick.&rdquo; Butch operates a posh eatery in Montreal.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Speaking on Sport

<div class="byline">by Dink Carroll (AS seen in the Montreal Gazette)</div><h2><b>Strictly a Guessing Contest</b></h2><p class="dropcap"><span>E</span>each year before the hockey season starts the hockey writers are asked to pick the order of the finish in the National Hockey League. It&rsquo;s strictly a guessing contst, as Lynn Patrick, ocach of the Boston Bruins, was quick to point a couple of years ago. Some of the selectors had picked the Bruins to finish out of the playoffs that year, which irked Lynn no little.</p><p>&ldquo;How can you guys pick the order of the finish when you haven&rsquo;t even seen all the theams?&rdquo; he wanted to know.</p><p>He was right, of course, and the selectors are making their picks largely from what they remembered of the teams the previous season. But a lot can happen to alter the picture from one season to another.</p><p>For one thing, the players are all a year oldtr, which means that some of the young players should be better while some of the veterans may be over the hill. Some of the latter may even have retired, as a raft of them did before the start of the current season. Frank Boucher, general manager of the New York Rangers, thinks some of them retire before they are washed up and he wonders why. He expressed that thought to John Carmichael, of the Chicago Daily news, when Rangers were in Chicago recently.</p><p>&ldquo;I wonder if the game&rsquo;s too tough toddy or the money too easy&rdquo;, he said. &ldquo;Quite a few players retire every year before they&rsquo;re through. We lost two men that way this season. Just up and quit.</p><p>&ldquo;One of&rsquo;me was getting $8,000. He probably didn&rsquo;t spend more than $3,000&hellip;and had a job in the summer. So maybe he saved $5,000 a year for the last six years. He has a little of $30,000 and all-year work, so he stays home.</p><p>&ldquo;Maybe you can&rsquo;t blame &lsquo;em. Hockey is a tiring game now. Why? Because so many players don&rsquo;t know where they&rsquo;re going&hellip; they&rsquo;re all over the ice, just running loose. Our game was a grind in some ways, but we had a pattern of play&hellip; and we didn&rsquo;t have to skate so hard&rdquo;.</p><p>What Frank forgets, perhaps, is that the teams were playing a 44-game schedule when he broke in and now they&rsquo;re playing 70. Also, the custom is to play three games in four days each weeks, which can become pretty wearing.</p><p>There is no other way of drawing up the schedule, either: not as long as Saturday night is hockey night in Canada, and Sunday night is hockey night in the American cities in the loop. Canadien&rsquo;s home dates are almost invariably Thursday and Saturday; the Toronto Maple Leafs are usually Wednesday and Saturday, and with the other clubs it&rsquo;s usually Wednesday or Thursday and Sunday.</p><p>But we have stayed pretty far from what we starter out to talk about, which was the strength of the clubs this season. We mentioned that the players are all a year older, which should affect their play, and that some have retired. Then there are always a number of youngsters breaking in and you never know how they are going to pan out.</p><p>We haven&rsquo;t seen all the teams yet and there 57 more games to go, but if we were asked to pick the order of the finish now it would be different from the way we picked it a couple of weeks ago. At that time we picked the Detroit Red Wings to finish first and Canadiens second, but now we&rsquo;d be inclined to reverse those positions.</p><p>We don&rsquo;t think the Red Wings are any better than they were a year ago, though they were good enough then to finish on top and then go on to win the Stanley Cup. But we also think Canadiens are quite a bit better than they were last year.</p><p>Jacques Plante was a big question mark before the season started, but he has settled down and appears to be in for a good season. If he stands up, the race between Canadiens and the Red Wings should be a dandy.</p><p>Then there is the Beliveau-Moore-Geoffrion line. Jen Beliveau and Dickie Moore were out with injuries for a big part of last season and Boom Boom Geoffrion missed a good many games through Injuries and his suspension by League President Clarence Campbell for his high-sticking duel with the Ranger&rsquo;s Ron Murphy.</p><p>This line could make all the difference with Canadiens. All three are youngsters and they have the exuberance of children. All three can handle the puck and all three can score. They are always trying to outdo each other, which is far from bein a bad thing. It would come as no surprise if they turned out to be the highest-scoring line in the league.</p><p>As for the Red Wings, Jim Burchard wrote an analytical piece about them a few days ago. The veteran hockey writer for the New York World-Telegram-Sun figures the Wings are ready to be clipped. They are now shooting for their seventh traight NHL championship and he thinks their prospects of success are no better than fair.</p><p>&ldquo;Detroit&rsquo;s Big Four&mdash;Terry Sawchuck, Red Kelly, Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay&mdash;can&rsquo;t old their pace forever&rdquo;, he writes. &ldquo;And if one of them cracks the entire machinery will slow down. Statistics indicate the Wings are slipping. They led the 1950-51 parade, for example, with 101 points. Their winning total last spring was sliced to 88. Both Montreal and Toronto will be stronger this season and both could finish ahead of Detroit&rdquo;.</p><p>Jim apparently ran into King Clancy, coach of the Toronto Leafs, who told him:</p><p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t even rate Detroit as the team to beat. The Canadiens look tougher to me&rdquo;.</p><p>That&rsquo;s the way it looks from here, too, so long as the players remain in one piece. But injuries can&rsquo;t be for they are invariably a potent factor in the way the teams&rsquo; finish.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Playing the field

<p>NEW YORY, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>Every hockey training camp has its &ldquo;Great Gabbo,&rdquo; the guy who insists on being heard on and off the ice, and this fall the Rangers had a dandy in Pistol Eddie Dorohoy.</p><p>They had a few other interesting characters, including the familiar Gump Worsley and the rugged individualist. Leapin&rsquo; Louie Fontinato, but for sheer force of personality, Dorohoy was easily the &ldquo;Best of Show.&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-0396/1158149-1-eng-US/f0004-032.jpg" title="f0004-03" width="589" height="1321"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>EDDIE DOROHOY</b></figcaption></div><p>They called him Pistol for two reasons: (a) He had been a hot scorer while playing for Dallas when this Texas metropolis had a team in the United States Hockey League; and (b) Eddie could rattle off the funny lines so fast everybody thought he was a pistol.</p><p>Even Don (Bones) Raleigh, no blushing violet, was green with envy. &ldquo;He sounds funnier to you,&rdquo; Bones said, &ldquo;because you&rsquo;ve already heard most of my gags.&rdquo;</p><p>Dorohoy came to the Rangers&rsquo; camp at the Invitation of Frank Boucher, who thought a deal might be arranged for the gabby one, and by special permission of his owners, the Montreal Canadiens. He had played for Victoria for four straight years, and in that time he was never worse than third in the scoring race.</p><p>The first day in camp, Dorohoy put on a brilliant stick-handling show and when the workout was over he peeled off his shirt and threw it to trainer Frank Paice.</p><p>&ldquo;Here, Paicer,&rsquo;&rsquo; he cracked. &ldquo;You can put this in the Hall of Fame.&rdquo;</p><p>The next day Dorohoy barged into the dressing room and reach<b>ed</b> for his stick. He found a puck taped onto the blade. It was the players&rsquo; way of telling him he couldn&rsquo;t jiggle the disk without losing it. They only meant it for<b>a</b> laugh and that&rsquo;s the way Dorohoy took it.</p><p>&ldquo;There never was a wing who couldn&rsquo;t score on my line,&rdquo; he said.</p><p>Dorohoy plays center like Connie Mack used to manage his club. He uses his stick for directional signals before every face-off, the way Mack waved his scorecard. When he was only 19, he jumped right out of junior hockey with the Lethbridge (Alberta) Native Sons to the Canadiens. He was just a mere squirt of 150 pounds but Coach Dick Irvin liked his style and put him on the first line with Maurice Richard and Elmer Lach.</p><p>Immediately Dorohoy interrupted play to tell Richard and Lach they were out of position. Irvin thought this was very funny, but Dorohoy was dead serious.</p><p>&ldquo;What wrong?&rdquo; he said. Richard and Lach can make mistakes too. I&rsquo;m only trying to help them.&rdquo;</p><p>This was a year in which the Canadiens got off on the wrong foot and Dorohoy felt they were making a goat out of him. Eddie was told he was too light so he set out to put on some weight. He brought himself up to 162 and still wasn&rsquo;t scoring, so Irvin said he was getting fat and soft. Dorohoy insisted the only thing soft was Irvin&rsquo;s head, so that got him a nice comfortable place on the end of the bench.</p><p>The Canadiens still couldn&rsquo;t win and finally Irvin turned on Dorohoy and blamed him for a particular night&rsquo;s debacle.</p><p>&ldquo;Why can&rsquo;t you put that puck in the net?&rdquo; Irvin exclaimed.</p><p>Dorohoy was dumfounded, but only for a second. &ldquo;From the angle of the bench I&rsquo;m sitting on,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m lucky to touch the puck.&rdquo;</p><p>Next day Dorohoy got a one-way ticket to Dallas. In the four succeeding years he has played for Lester Patrick&rsquo;s Victoria club in the Western League, and while he has remained property of Montreal he has never again been invited to the Canadiens&rsquo; camp.</p><p>&ldquo;They bring up a lot of guys worse than me,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Me they ignore. Sure I pop off, but I don&rsquo;t say anyting malicious. What&rsquo;s the use of living if you can&rsquo;t say what you think?&rdquo;</p><p>Not long ago it cost Dorohoy $150 to say what he thinks about the Western League. He was just being slightly critical.</p><p>&ldquo;I must be the only hockey player in history,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;who was ever fined in the summer. Hell, I just took it out of my unemployment Insurance.&rdquo;</p><p>Two seasons ago, at the age of 22, Patrick appointed Dorohoy as coach of the club. This seemed an ill-advised move because Eddie is going to coach a team whether it&rsquo;s official or not. Anyway, the hockey writers in the West started comparing him with some of baseball&rsquo;s boy managers, such as Bucky Harris and Lou Boudreau. But the comparison ended there. For while Harris and Boudreau met with success, Dorohoy could not lift the Victoria lads out of the cellar.</p><p>&ldquo;Just a bad club,&rdquo; Eddie said. &ldquo;Only thing that improved was my misconduct record. I got a million of&rsquo;em.&rdquo;</p><p>Dorothy made a battle of it this fall, trying to win a place on the Rangers, and he didn&rsquo;t restrict his battling to earnest hustle. He used his fists too. When the Blues played an exhibition in Victoria, Eddie was still in a Ranger uniform and just in case there were any doubts in Coach Muzz Patrick&rsquo;s mind that this gabby fellow couldn&rsquo;t fight as well as he talked Dorohoy engaged in a vicious brawl with an ex-team mate Colin Kilburn, who outweighed him by 20 pounds. Eddie got in the first punches, knocked Kilburn down and continued to throw punches from a kneeling position.</p><p>&ldquo;I just wanted to be sure,&rdquo; Dorohoy said. &ldquo;Muzz wasn&rsquo;t underrating me.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

“Great Gabbo” Eddie Dorohoy Top Funny Man

<div class="byline">By MARSHALL DANN</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0005-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01129/1158204-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Dutch Reibel&hellip; &hellip; Displaces Delvecchio</b></figcaption></div><p>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Life as a spare forward just wasn&rsquo;t Dutch Reibel&rsquo;s idea of a hockey career. So now he has won back the job which was handed him on a platter a year ago&mdash;and then snatched away without ceremony.</p><p>When Reibel made the jump to Detroit from the Western League last season, he drew the biggest plum in hockey. Manager Jack Adams installed him as the newest center on the high-scoring Production Line between Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay.</p><p>Reibel clicked immediately and even led the National League scoring race a while. Goals and assists kept coming his way but the stocky Kitchener (Ont.) native gradually fell into mild disfavor with his bosses.</p><p>They spoke of such things as not hustling enough, not hungry enough.</p><p>An injury hastened their decision to yank Reibel off the big Detroit line, Alex Delvecchio taking over. Dutch got back in action at playoff time, however, and flashed his early-season form when spotted between Howe and Lindsay.</p><p>When training camp opened this fall, Reibel was in a strange role. The seventh leading scorer in the NHL the previous season (15 goals and 33 assists), he didn&rsquo;t have a regular job.</p><p>Delvecchio was named to the Production Line and Metro Prystai was switched from right wing to center for the umpteenth time to take over Delvecchio&rsquo;s duties on the third line. That left Reibel as a spare forward, swinging from line to line as a reliefer and getting most of his action only as a power-play forward on the point.</p><p>It took him exactly eight games to convince Adams and Coach Jimmy Skinner that he deserved a regular line. By that time Dutch was tied for the lead in club scoring with nine points despite infrequent use.</p><p>Back he went as the Production Line center and this time he&rsquo;s digging like he intends to keep the job.</p><p>While it was a promotion for Reibel, it still wasn&rsquo;t any setback for Delvecchio. The Production Line made eight goals in eight games while he was around but Alex was needed worse elsewhere.</p><p>The newly created Prystai-John Wilson Bill Dineen line wasn&rsquo; going anyplace. That trio had the humble total of two goals after eight games; together they had six points&mdash;two each. A shakeup was obvious. Reibel didn&rsquo;t fit as the necessary medecine and Delvecchio did.</p><p>Prystai returned to right wing once more and Delvecchio moved in at center where he operated most of least season, Wilson keeping left wing. This switch was immediately successful.</p><p>In their first game the line scored three goals to tuck away a 4-0 decision over Boston. Prystai had a goal and two assists, more than double his entire previous output. Wilson got a goal and an assist. Delvecchio got two assists. Marcel Bonin collected the third goal while spelling off Wilson for part of a turn.</p><p>ICE CHIPS: Vic Stasiuk has rejoined the Red Wings on his sixth trip up to the NHL. He was beckoned after getting off to a fast start in the Western League on the Edmonton Flyers farm club.</p><p>To make room Rookie Don Poile was sent to Edmonton after being waived out of the league. Since Poile was one of the 15 players on the draft protection list, waivers had to be asked. No one wanted him at the $15,000 price, ces on the ice. sometimes getting one turn late Poile had made only a half-dozen appearanin the third periods.</p><p>Skinner staged a crackdown on penalties after heavy costs in early games. Of the first 20 goals against Detroit, 10 came while the club was shorthanded. Rival power plays also backfired twice, Red Kelly and Tony Leswick getting goals while the other side had a manpower edge.</p><p>Wings&rsquo; power play wasn&rsquo;t as effective, producing only eight of the team&rsquo;s first 28 goals.</p><h2><b>Rejoins Famed Mates</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></h2>

Reibel Wins Back Wings’ Big Centre Spot

<div class="byline">By VINCE LUNNY</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Butch Bouchard, big defenceman and captain of the Montreal Canadiens, is fast approaching the 700-game mark as a National Hockey League campaigner. Barring injuries, the durable veteran will play his 700th game, exclusive of playoffs, against the Black Hawks on Nov. 23 in Chicago.</p><p>Bouchard is the oldest member of the colorful Montreal team, both in years and in point of service. Just a few days before the opening of the Habs&rsquo; fall training camp, he turned 34.

Y.&mdash;</p><p>A few of the Faithful, flushed with early success, are now telling anybody who&rsquo;ll listen that the Rangers will go all the way. It is these few frantic fans who take great pleasure in likening the Baby Blues to another New York team&mdash;the Giants. Like the current champions of baseball, they say, their hockey team has speed, great determination and, above all, a strong bench.</p><p>The Giants&rsquo; &ldquo;bench&rdquo; strength, in the main, comprised Dusty Rhodts to pinchhit and Hoyt Wilhelm and Mary Grissom to come in from the bullpen and save games in crucial situations.</p><p>The Rangers&rsquo; &ldquo;bench&rdquo; strength also comprises three players. There&rsquo;s little Camille Henry to come in and get the goal. He serves the same purpose as Rhodes but, where Dusty is a home run hitter, Henry hits singles. He snipes goals, rather than powering shots into the nets.</p><p>The Wilhelm and the Grissom of the Baby Blues are a couple of other specialists, Edgar Laprade and Aldo Guidolin. They save the games by (1) ably killing penalties and (2) taking a turn on a special checking line when the team wants to protect a lead.</p><p>All three have played as big a part in the team&rsquo;s new-found success as any other player and bigger than some.</p><p>Although he had played an average of less than eight minutes a game, specializing in power plays, Henry had five goals in the first 10 games. Laprade and Guidolin, while playing with the team shorthanded for a total of some 72 minutes in those 10 games, allowed only six goals. One goal for every 12 minutes of penalty killing is slightly under par for the course.</p><p>Laprade, the only Ranger left with the weight of years draped across his shoulders, is a bit of an enigma. At 35, when all hockey players are supposed to begin fading away, he is as classic a skater and as great a magician with the stick as he ever was. Not once, even when he came off a temporary retirement last mid-season, has he given one indication of stowing down.</p><p>Laprade&rsquo;s worth to the Rangers has not been limited to his great skating and ability to rag the puck. Edgar, more than anyone else, has made a standout checker of the rugged Guidolin. This is the second season they&rsquo;ve worked together on their special assignment and Guidolin now does things just as Laprade does them. They complement each other.</p><p>Although he is little more of a scoring threat than Laprade, Guidolin, otherwise, has become a fine major leaguer at 22. He is a strong skater, carries the puck well and. forechecks almost as well as Laprade. With 183 pounds on his six-foot frame and with a strong heart as well, he body checks about as well as any forward in the league.</p><p>As for little Henry, he is doing the very same thing now that got him the Rookie-of-the-Year award last season. Lynn Patrick says it: &ldquo;He can&rsquo;t do anything except score goals&rdquo;. Camille tallied 24 times as a rookie, usually in power plays, and, at the present pace, will repeat himself.</p><p>No one is any more clever than Camille around the net. That is where he gets all his goals. He hasn&rsquo;t a hard or a long shot. He can&rsquo;t carry the puck very well and, at best, is only an average skater.</p><p>The chances are, he&rsquo;ll never be anything but a goal-scoring specialist. His sight frame isn&rsquo;t built for the rigors of taking a regular turn on the ice.</p><p>Camille has tried to build himself up, with little success. Last year he weighed 142. This year, after spending all Summer in a weight-lifting course, he came back at 145. &ldquo;I feel stronger, even if I didn&rsquo;t put on much weight,&rdquo; Henry says, confidently.</p><p>He worked hard in that course, run by masseur Claude Fugui in the Quebec Coliseum. Five days a week, he did tricks with a 68-pound weight.</p><p>Camille&rsquo;s Summer wasn&rsquo;t entirely wasted, however. It seems that, between sessions with the weight, he worked in public relations and promotion for the Arctic Dairy, largest in Quebec City.</p><p>When Camille took the job, a rival outfit, the Laval Dairy, was beginning to make deep inroads on the milk business in the city. Jean Beliveau worked for Laval, in a similar capacity.</p><p>Before the Summer was over, Arctic was pulling away from Laval again. Probably because Henry had just beaten Beliveau for Rookie-of-the-Year.</p><p>ICE CHIPS: As they left home during the National Horse Show, starting on Nov. 2, the Rangers had to find a replacement for a replacement. Jackie McLeod, who&rsquo;d been filling in for Wally Hergesheimer as Paul Ronty&rsquo;s right winger, even to wearing Hergy&rsquo;s old No. 18 uniform, fractured a big toe on his left foot in the 1-1 tie with Chicago, Oct. 31. He was expected to be out for from two to three weeks. Hergy, due in New York to begin skating easily on Nov. 3, would probably be playing by the time McLeod came back. In the meantime. Muzz Patrick planned to spot Henry, Guidolin and defenseman Bob Chrystal beside Ronty.</p><p>Allan Stanley&rsquo;s badly cut leg had healed so well the defenseman figured he&rsquo;d be able to play when the Rangers came home on Nov. 10 to entertain the Maple Leafs for the first time&hellip; They are now calling Mickoski &ldquo;Nick the Play Maker.&rdquo; Only once, in his six-year career with the Rangers, had he gotten more assists than goals. Last year was typical: 19 goals and 16 assists. His record the year before was 19-16. This year, in the first 10 games, Nick was still to score but he already had nine assists&mdash;thanks to Danny Lewicki&rsquo;s scoring on the line and Henry&rsquo;s scoring as extra man in the power play.</p><p>When the Rangers sent Cliff Hicks out to Saskatoon to replace Bev Bentley in the goal, they picked up Joe Schaefer, a native New Yorker, as their emergency and practice goalkeeper. He has played with amateur teams here in the past&hellip; Rangers are averaging 4.4 stiches a game. Of their 44, Stanley had 12, Guidolin 11, Laprade seven and Chrystal seven.</p><p>It wasn&rsquo;t until recently that Henry learned his dad, Camille, Sr., once played hockey at the Garden. He played here in 193132 for a Quebec senior amateur team sponsored by Quebec Le Soleil.</p><h2><b>The Rangers&rsquo; Rhodes</b></h2><h2><b>Defensive&hellip; &hellip; Standouts</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02129/1158442-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="588" height="607"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>EDGAR LAPRADE</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-0397/1158435-1-eng-US/f0007-032.jpg" title="f0007-03" width="589" height="605"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>ALDO GUIDOLIN</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Vancouver Canucks

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>The busiest man in the City of Boston, at least in a sports sense, is Lynn Patrick, doing double duty for the Boston Bruins.</p><p>For Patrick there&rsquo;s no such thing as an eight-hour day or a 40-hour week.</p><p>Lynn&rsquo;s days this season are running from early to late, his weeks from Sunday through Saturday. He has no time off, no days off.</p><p>Until this fall two men filled the positions now occupied by the 205-pound Patrick, those of manager and coach of the Bruins.</p><p>Until this fall Patrick was the coach solely; the manager was Arthur H. Ross, now retired.</p><p>As a coach Patrick devoted his time to running his team; as a manager he&rsquo;s running the Bruins&rsquo; organization, of which the team is a part.</p><p>The assignment is a big one, but Lynn seems to be holding up admirably under the strain.</p><p>Let&rsquo;s breeze through an average day here with this energetic man.</p><p>8:00 a.m. Patrick, who seldom sleeps late, is up at his home in Wellesley.</p><p>9:00 a.m. He leaves for the Bruins&rsquo; office in. Boston&rsquo;s North Station.</p><p>9:30 a.m. His car parked, a feat in itself, he starts on his day&rsquo;s agenda of office work, interrupted periodically by telephone calls and visitors.</p><p>11:30 a.m. Since the Bruins are practicing at the Garden, he takes the walk between his office and the Bruins&rsquo; dressing room in the Garden, part of North Station.</p><p>12:00 p.m. Practice starts promptly, with Patrick on skates.</p><p>1:00 p.m. If the practice is of customary length, he repairs to the dressing room, spending the next half-hour in talking to hockey writers.</p><p>1:30 p.m. In company with writers, he pops across the street to Freddie&rsquo;s for lunch.</p><p>2:00 p.m. Back at his desk, he works steadily to suppertime.</p><p>6:00 p.m. He leaves for home, battling the heavy traffic.</p><p>7:00 p.m. Until bedtime he works at home.</p><p>The Bruins&rsquo; manager-coach is still becoming adjusted to the heavy dose of office work, something new to him, but indications an that he&rsquo;ll take it in stride. At least he isn&rsquo;t losing his sense of humor.</p><p>When a visitor made an observation on the Bruins&rsquo; slump earlier this month, Patrick replied promptly, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the coach&rsquo;s fault. He Isn&rsquo;t doing a good job.&rsquo;&rsquo;</p><p>On another occasion when Elsie Dowling, now his secretary after working for Mr. Ross for many years, planked a huge file of correspondence in front of him, he grunted.</p><p>&ldquo;Oh, you can clean it up in three or four hours,&rdquo; prodded Mrs, Dowling.</p><p>&ldquo;You mean three or four days,&rsquo;&rsquo; grinned Patrick as he dug into the pile.</p><p>Lynn&rsquo;s managerial chores mount while the Bruins are on the road. During road trips he maintains contact With his office by telephone several times a day, but he still faces overtime when he returns.</p><p>Patrick is the only double-duty executive in the National League at the present time, but a year ago there was another, when Frank Boucher filled both posts for the New York Rangers prior to the coming of Muzz Patrick, Lynn&rsquo;s brother, as coach.</p><p>Like Boucher, Patrick&rsquo;s coaching tenure will be limited, for Milt Schmidt will succeed him eventually. That date, however, will be determined by Schmidt, when the Bruins&rsquo; captain decides he&rsquo;s ready to retire as a player.</p><p>Since Schmidt has looked the same thus far this season that he has in other recent seasons, there is small likelihood that he&rsquo;ll relieve Patrick of one of his jobs before next fall at the earliest.</p><p>Until then, it is safe to say, Lynn will have to keep two outer garments on his coat rack, a jacket to wear for managerial assignments, a sweater to wear as coach.</p><h2><b>Busy Bruin</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01185/1158504-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="570" height="580"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>LYNN PATRICK</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Patrick’s Itinerary Includes Double Shift Duty

<div class="byline">By VINCE LUNNY</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Donnie Marshall, who is no bigger than a minute and just as fast, is back on skates but it will be a few weeks yet before he is able to rejoin the Canadiens.</p><p>Marshal], unanimous choice as rookie of the year in the American Hockey League last season, was sidelined even before he got a chance to play in the National League.</p><p>Hailed as a prospect, along with Jackie Leclair, for the centre slot vacated by Elmer Lach, he cracked a tibia&mdash;the main bone of the leg&mdash;near the ankle joint in a pre-season workout.</p><p>Leclair got the key spot between Maurice Richard and Bert Olmstead acclamation while Marshall went to hospital.</p><p>Now, more than a month since the accident, Marshall is skating well and so he will be ready to try to win a berth with the team as a regular.</p><p>Leclair recently suffered a partial shoulder separation but, luckily, as the Habs had a long layoff he missed only one game, a joust with the Chicago Black Hawks.</p><p>Coach Dick Irvin, forced to shuffle his lines, produced three effective attacking units with a minimum of dislocation. He shifted Dickie Moore, who had missed two games against the New York Rangers with a similar injury, to centre on the revamped Punch Line and put Paul Meger in his position at left wing on the Sizzle Line with Bernie Geoffrion and Jean Beliveau.</p><p>By that simple shift he was able to leave his Wrecker Crew of Ken Mosdell, Eddie Litzenberger and Calum MacKay intact.</p><p>Irvin has no Intention of breaking up that combination as the three players are like scotch and soda and ice. Mosdell is the scotch, if you&rsquo;ll pardon the analogy, the potent force that hits the high spots.</p><p>Last year&rsquo;s all-star centre, Mosdell is going at a faster clip than ever and currently it appears that no other centre in the league is going to dislodge him from the mythical squad of super stars.</p><p>Litz is the soda, a bubbling personality playing well in his first NHL campaign. Litz has a hard shot, giving the Habs three of the sharpest-shooting right wingers in hockey.</p><p>MacKay, of course, is the ice. He&rsquo;s hard, he checks well and he doesn&rsquo;t melt away from rivals. He works capably with Mosdell and sets up a lot of Mosey&rsquo;s goals, reversing the usual pattern between wingmen and centres.</p><p>Even before Marshall rejoins the Habs, Eddie Mazur is expected to break into the line-up. Big Ed, who underwent a knee operation just before the season got underway, has been skating for three weeks and he is just about ready to don a uniform.</p><h2><b>Rarin&rsquo; To Co</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02135/1158535-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="614" height="1430"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>DON MARSHALL</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

The loopleading Canadiens have 19 points, Detroit has 17, Toronto 12 and New York 11. Chicago Black Hawks are fifth with six points, one more than the sixth-place Boston Bruins.</p><p>Bernie &ldquo;Boom Boom&rdquo; Geoffrion is the scoring sensation of the NHL season to date. The fiery Montreal left winger has scored 13 goals in 13 games&mdash;an amazing record. He leads the League in both goals scored and total scoring points.

Maurice Richard, also of Canadiens, has 13 points made up of five goals and eight assists.</p><p>The four-time NHL scoring champ, Detroit&rsquo;s Gordie Howe, was injured last week and ended his consecutive-game streak of 382 straight games.

Habs Crab NHL Lead, Beat Wings

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><p>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;</p><p>Assistance in the personnel vein seems to be a plea that has been answered to a large extent for the benefit of the Black Hawk cause this season. In the meantime, however, the club may have to go on a search for ways and means in which to acquire assists of a different variety.</p><p>An even more basic requirement for success, the reference is to assists earned and credited to players aiding in the scoring of goals. With the first 27 games of the 1954-55 National Hockey League slate out of the way at the end of October, Chicago found itself way behind in this department.</p><p>In the process of winning one, tying two and losing five in its share of these contests, the Hawk team found it had to be content with only 14 goals. And even worse was the situation regarding assists with only 13 written into the records in these eight games.</p><p>Needless to say, it&rsquo;s a rare thing that finds a puck squad with fewer assists than goals at any stage in a campaign.</p><p>This rather alarming note appears to have its base from the fact that four of the goals were of the unassisted variety.</p><p>Markers of this type often can&rsquo;t be helped and they certainly can&rsquo;t be sneezed at for they are genuine opportunist efforts. Usually of the surprise and spectacular type, they never fail to bring a thunderous ovation from onlookers when scored by the home team.</p><p>Despite all this, there would still not seem to be any genuine substitute for the sort of plays which the Black Hawks have been unable to develop successfully to this point&mdash;the smooth team passing efforts that always bring the maximum allotment of two assists.</p><p>The Rangers, who have Joined Chicago in turning toward youth as the best hope for NHL gains, also had four unassisted goals at October&rsquo;s close, but they looked very small beside the 27 goals which had been amassed by Blueshirt skaters. Here&rsquo;s the data on goals and assists per team in the 27 games:</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03102/1158590-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="823" height="343"></div><p>It&rsquo;s easy to see that even the clubs that were down on the lower rungs of the league ladder with the Hawks two weeks ago&mdash;Boston and Toronto&mdash;were able to rack up assists which exceeded their goal totals. Three Leaf and two Bruin tallies were barren of assist credits.</p><p>While the leading Montrealers were piling up almost two assists for each of their goals, Frank Eddolls&rsquo; Windy City charges had actually gotten two on a mere three goals with the team&rsquo;s other seven scores getting just single assists.</p><p>All this aside, Eddolls will very likely remind us that goals are still what win the games and they are what the Black Hawks will be going after in any way, shape or form. And with an increase in goals, of course, it&rsquo;s hoped the assists will come along.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hawks Helpers Pick Up Only Eight Assists In First 13 Games

<p><b>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</b></p><p><b>It isn&rsquo;t very often that THE HOCKEY NEWS honors the same player two straight weeks but what can you do. Bernie (Boom Bom) Geoffrion, who has been setting the NHL on fire, doesn&rsquo;t show any signs of letting up?</b></p><p><b>The Canadiens played two games during the past week. They won them both, beating the Detroit Red Wings, 4-1 and the Boston Bruins, 4-3. What did Geoffrion do to deserve the &ldquo;Player-Of-The-Week&rsquo;&rsquo; honor again? Simply this. He scored two goals against Detroit, his 10th and 11th of the season and the 99th and 100th of his NHL career. The next right is Boston he scored his 12th 13th and picked up an assist. After 13 games of play, the flashy Canatdiens right winger has 13 goals in 13 games and five assists for a total of 18 points&mdash;five more than his nearest rival.</b></p><p><b>Geoffrion appears headed for his greatest season. If he keeps it up, he could well displace both Gordie Howe and Maurice Richard as the All-Star right winger and winning the first All-Star berth over those two would be one of the greatest accomplishments of all time since they rate as probably the two greatest right wingers in the history of, the game.</b></p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-1221/1158764-1-eng-US/f0009-122.jpg" title="f0009-12" width="308" height="452"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Bernie Geoffrion</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

INSIDE STUFF AboutEdgar Laprade

<div class="byline">By CHICK APPEL</div><p>STRATFORD, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>After two weeks campaigning in the senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; O.H.A. a somewhat similar pattern to that of last season is seen in the league standing, with the champion Owen Sound Mercurys setting the pace and Kitchener Dutchmen trailing them by one point in second place.</p><p>Stratford Indians are third, two points back, and Chatham Maroons fourth trailing by the same number of points. Windsor Bulldogs, with three points on one win and a tie, trail the Maroons by two points, while Niagara Falls Cataracts bring up the rear, having lost all of their first five games.</p><p>Although Owen Sound leads the pack they have played two more games than Kitchener and one more than Stratford,-and lost two games to the Dutchmen&rsquo;s one. Stratford has also lost two, as have Chatham and Windsor but they have played one game less than Stratford.</p><p>Earlier it was felt that the new Chatham entry might be the weak sisters of the loop, but now it appears that Niagara Falls holds that dubious honor. The Cataracts are a much better club than a year ago and their current plight is one difficult to figure out, because they appear to have signed some proven senior players in Lorne Pirie and Eddie Mulligan.</p><p>The biggest revamping job has been done by Murph Chamberlain with his Windsor Bulldogs, who used goalie Denis Brodeur of the Quebec Provincial League, recently. Brodeur worked out in Stratford with the Fort Wayne Komets, before going to Windsor and then was sold to the Kitchener Dutchmen, whose weak spot seemed to be in goal. As at present constituted, Kitchener may prove to be the &ldquo;loaded&rdquo; team. They have added Bud Kemp and Billy Hammond of the former Hamilton Tigers, and also signed Jackie Hamilton, veteran ex-pro., and Sonny Horne and Jim Logan, junior graduates.</p><p>More recently Murph Chamberlain, who started out to assemble a bunch of youngsters as replacements for most of his veterans of last season, has again reverted to oldsters in signing Jimmy Peters, who retired voluntarily from the Detroit Red Wings of last year. Chamberlain is also counting upon signing George Gee, another veteran big leaguer, but so far has failed to secure his release from the Chicago Black Hawks. Windsor lists 24 players on the roster right now, but this number will have to be reduced to 19, including two goalies, by the Dec. 15 deadline. Chamberlain is also faced with the necessity of cutting his branch-to-branch transfers to four, in order to combly with CAHA regulations.</p><p>Figuring his team required reinforcements on the rearguard, Chamberlian purchssed Ted O&rsquo;Connor, the Oshana boy, from Stratford Indians.</p><p>Owen Sound Mercurys probably are the least changed since last season, but they must be rated as serious contenders, now that they have added two defencement in Jack Kirk of Kelowna, B.C. and Tommy Jamieson, who sat out all of last season via a suspension. This pair, along with Jack Taylor of the Hamilton Tigers and Ed Louttit and Ted Reid, a pair of juniors with Hamilton Cubs last year, gives Owen Sound a well-balanced and fortified team in every position.</p><p>With the return of Lou Bendo, following recovery from a fractured wrist sustained at the Pittsburgh Hornets&rsquo; training camp, Stratford Indians are almost at full strength. Jackie White, who suffered a broken bone in his neck during the Indians&rsquo; first workout, is still sidelined, but may be back by the end of the month, which will give Coach &ldquo;Moe&rdquo; Morris four dependable centremen. Charlie Marshall, younger brother of Pittsburgh&rsquo;s Willie Marshall, and John Ashley, whose release was purchased from Eddie Shore, lives Stratford added strength on both the defence and forward line.</p><div class="sidebar"><p>Lloyd Percival, Director of Sports College, endorses BIKE Supports and BIKE Trainers Tape.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

AMERICAN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By DICK McCRONE</div><p>HERSHEY, Pa&mdash;</p><p>It took the American Hockey League&rsquo;s All-Star game on Wednesday, October 27 to put little Dune Fisher, Hershey&rsquo;s sharp-shooting right winger on the right track.</p><p>Fisher, who last year blasted a total of 41 goals over the regular AHL campaign, had lit the red lamp but once in six games when he suddenly found the range against the Cleveland Barons in the first annual All-Star classic. His &ldquo;hat trick&rdquo; paced the All-Stars to a 6-3 win over the defending Calder Cup champions.</p><p>Then, having broken the ice, he hammered out another &ldquo;hat&rdquo; against Springfield three nights later, pacing the Bears to another 6-3 triumph.</p><p>The stocky forward, who became Hershey property this Fall, along with Obie O&rsquo;Brien, in the deal which sent defenseman Ray Gariepy to the Boston Bruins, had been flying and digging with his usual aplomb. However, his specialty, the angle shot from the right side just was not catching its mark.</p><p>In addition to scoring 41 goals last season, second highest to Lorne Ferguson&rsquo;s 45, Fisher set a new league record for winning goals. He fired 13 winning goals over the regular schedule, plus three tying markers. He also racked up a trio of &ldquo;hat tricks&rdquo; along the way.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-01195/1159003-1-eng-US/f0012-012.jpg" title="f0012-01" width="300" height="456"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Dune Fisher</b></figcaption></div><p>Fisher, who is 27, turned pro with New Haven in the Eastern Amateur League in 1947-48, where he scored 25 goals and 34 assists under the watchful eye of Lynn Patrick, who was then coach of the New Haven club. The New York Rangers took him up to the big time the following season and Fisher remained there until acquired by the Boston Bruins in 1950-51.</p><p>The Bruins, incidentally, gave up Ed Harrison and Zellio Toppazzini for Fisher&rsquo;s contract. He remained with the Bruins until the Fall of 19 52-53, when he was assigned to Hershey. He scored 29 goals and 24 assists in 55 games for Hershey.</p><p>Last year, his second with the Bears, he set a new personal scoring mark, lighting the red lamp 41 times and assisting in scoring 39 other goals.</p><p>Fisher resides in Regina, Saskatchewan, during the off-season, where he is a swimming instructor. As a hobby he plays the bagpipes in the home town band.</p><h2><b>Trading Bait&hellip;</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-02145/1158996-1-eng-US/f0012-022.jpg" title="f0012-02" width="582" height="594"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>ZELLIO TOPPAZZINI</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>&hellip;Worth It</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-03120/1158989-1-eng-US/f0012-032.jpg" title="f0012-03" width="582" height="594"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>ED HARRISON</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

All-Star Game Did It---Now Fisher’s His Old Self

<p>HERSHEY, Pa.&mdash;</p><p>Kenny Smith, who was released by the Providence Reds at the close of the 1953-54 campaign, is back in action with the Hershey Bears.</p><p>The 31-year-old left winger, who resides in nearby Elizabethtown, signed a Bear contract when &ldquo;Skip&rdquo; Teal Hershey&rsquo;s sophomore center ice man, was sidelined with a hand injury. Smith moved Into Stan Parker&rsquo;s left wing post when the latter took over Teal&rsquo;s pivot job.</p><p>This is Smith&rsquo;s second tour of duty with Hershey. He appeared in 27 games with the Bears in 1945-46 on loan from the Boston Bruins.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Out Goes Teal, In Goes Smith

<p>PROVIDENCE, RI&mdash;</p><p>Lou Pieri & Co., the RI Reds to you, face the month of November with a terrific schedule and the chance to boost themselves into a position in the American Hockey League where they might go on to a pennant.</p><p>It has been a long, long time since a Providence hockey team faced such a wonderful slate of games.</p><p>This month, the Reds will play 10 games, six at home and four on the road. The Reds have no away games this month in Cleveland and Buffalo. The Bisons and Barons figure to be tough as time goes on.</p><p>At Hershey, the Reds play two games and a like number at Springfield.</p><p>On their own rink at RI Auditorium, the Reds play Pittsburgh and Springfield twice and Buffalo and Hershey one game each.</p><p>Pieri, who has been known to use up reams of paper and a barrel of pencils figuring his teams into the playoffs, was like a child with a toy as he thumbed through the coming schedule. &ldquo;I figure we should pick up 16 of a possible 20 points. That means winning 8 out of 10. We can do it and by December 1, the Reds will be the team to beat in the American Hockey League.&rdquo;</p><p>The Reds&rsquo; owner could, be, right. This is not the fastest hockey team ever to represent Providence but it is rough and smart Against Hershey, the Reds slowed the speedy Bears to a walk with continual body checking.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Reds Face Rugged Month

<div class="byline">By JIM ELLERY</div><p>HERSHEY, Pa.&mdash;</p><p>The American Hockey League&rsquo;s glittering All Star array of high scoring forwards, led by Dunc Fisher, Hershey rightwing who scored the three goal &ldquo;hat trick&rdquo;, plus expert defensemen and goaltenders proved too much for the Cleveland Barons which dropped the first Annual All Star game 7-3.</p><p>Although Freddie Glover put the Calder Cup champs of last season ahead with a goal in 4 5 seconds, it wasn&rsquo;t long before the Stars&rsquo; point happy forwards had gone ahead. Fisher scored his first at 3:25, teammate Arnie Kullman made it 2-1 at 11:50 and Fisher again at 17:51 closed out the opening period with a 3-1 All Star edge. The first period All Star tallies were all hand made by Pennsylvania players, as the assists on the three goals were gathered in by Hershey&rsquo;s Obie O&rsquo;Brien and Pittsburgh&rsquo;s Frank Mathers in addition to Kullman and Fisher.</p><p>Harry Pidhirny of Springfield and Fisher, with his &ldquo;hat trick&rdquo; completion, upped the margin to 5-1 in the second period. Jim Farelli, Cleveland rookie was serving one of the game&rsquo;s two penalties when Fisher scored. The only other minor sentence went to Tommy Williams of the Barons in the third periood, and did not figure in the scoring.</p><p>Cal Stearns of the Barons cut one off the Stars&rsquo; lead at the six minute mark of the third session, but Buffalo coach, Gaye Stewart got that one back in three minutes with his regular linemate, Ed Slowinski and Kullman assisting. Rookie Billy Ford of Cleveland scored Ray Ross&rsquo; rebound at 16:48 to make it 6-3 and Pidhirny with his second marker closed out the scoring for the Stars, and the game at 18:24.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-0491/1159089-1-eng-US/f0012-042.jpg" title="f0012-04" width="294" height="446"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gaye Stewart</b></figcaption></div><p>Gil Mayer, Pittsburgh&rsquo;s diminutive goal tender started the game for the Stars and played the first 30 minutes. When Gordie Henry, the Hershey netminder skated out midway of the second period to relieve him, he was greeted with a tremendous cheer by the local Hershey fans. Henry is in his 11th season as a member of the Bears and his popularity in Chocolatetown increases with the years.</p><p>A glance at the scoring records of last season easily proves the scoring power of the All Star forwards. The 11 front line men had 337 goals and 434 assists for a total of 771 points in 1953-54, averaging better than 70 points a man. There were three players with 40 or more goals among them, three more over the 30 mark and the rest bettered 20. The rugged defense comprised of Pat Egan of Providence, Frank Mathers of Pittsburgh and Gordie Tottle and Danny Summers of Springfield afforded wonderful protection to Mayer and Henry.</p><p>Egan showed the fans every trick he knew and was so pleased at being selected for the game that he stated it was one of the biggest thrills in his 16 year professional career. Tottle was a tower of strength on the backline as well as leading many a forward rush, and Mathers was his usual expert two way self. In cage anyone ever doubts the desires of hockey players to go all out to win one of these All Star classics, an episode involving Tottle would prove them wrong. With Williams in the penalty box and the Stars holding a 5-1 lead, Tottle held up the game to inquire the remaining penalty time in order to arrange the proper strategy.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-0568/1159082-1-eng-US/f0012-052.jpg" title="f0012-05" width="304" height="462"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Pat Egan</b></figcaption></div><p>Every player on both the Stars and the Barons received congratulations from the fans and all the many hockey officials present on the fine display of hockey they showed.</p><p>Murray Henderson who coached the All Stars did not dress for the game, as he wanted to devote all of his time to strategy in his intense desire to bring victory to the league representatives. Murray was awarded the coaching job on his fine leadership last season in the playoffs when he brought his Bears into the finals against Cleveland.</p><p>Although none of them were selected for the All Star team last Spring, the Cleveland forward line of Glover, Jackie Gordon and Eddie Olson is probably the best in the league, as rated by many, as a complete unit. Three members of the selected All Stars, Emile Francis, Fred Shero and Tommy Williams played with their own Cleveland team in the game, and were replaced by others on the Stars roster.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<p>PROVIDENCE, RI&mdash;</p><p>Because Charlie Hodge (that&rsquo;s right) wanted to be sure the paymaster at RI Auditorium had his name spelt right, the true name of the RI Reds&rsquo; spare goalie has been unearthed.</p><p>It&rsquo;s not a very long story for Hodge was only delivered about three weeks ago on loan from the Montreal Canadiens. Upon delivery, General Manager Terry Reardon received the goalie &ldquo;package&rdquo; marked &ldquo;Charlie Hodges&rdquo;.</p><p>A call to Montreal Forum for some facts on Charlie Hodges produced the facts. There was no eye-brow raising because the 21&ndash;year old net-minder had an S when there should have been a period.</p><p>Reardon summoned Publicity Chief George Patrick Duffy.

After all, Charlie wanted all the dollar bills that his contract called for.</p><p>In a visit to the paying office, Duffy happened to see a pay slip for a Hodge.

Let’s Get It Straight: Hodges Isn’t, Hodge Is

<div class="byline">By GEORGE DUFFY</div><p>PROVIDENCE, R.I.&mdash;</p><p>A fast kid, Guy Gendron, is teaming with teammates Paul Larivee and Zellio &ldquo;The Topper&rdquo; Toppazzini on the RI Reds&rsquo; top forward line.</p><p>Gendron, up from the &ldquo;A&rdquo; ranks at Three Rivers, is off to a flying start. So are his mates in goals, &ldquo;Mr. Z&rdquo; and quiet Paul, Larivee is a slow skater but a smooth stick-handler as the center on the No. 1 Providence line.</p><p>Toppazzini, whose brother Jerry plays for the Chicago Black Hawks of the National Hockey League, is the clever operator of the line. He can dash off on a brilliant solo or set up his younger mates.</p><p>Coach Pat Egan, General Manager Terry Reardon and Owner Lou Pieri are enthused at the play of this line. They all voice the same sentiments: &ldquo;The Larivee-Toppazzini-Gendron line looks good.&rdquo;</p><p>Rivals in the American Hockey League will attest to this. After the first two weeks of competition in the AHL, the line of Larivee & Co. was leading the league. And the first three scorers among the league players read Toppazzini, Larivee and Gendron.</p><p>Larivee, coming back strong after being slowed down last season by an appendectomy, has come up with some key passes to put Gendron and Toppazzini in free goals. By the same token. Guy and Zellio, by all-out hustle. have maneuvered by enemy backliners for shots and goals at the rival cages.</p><p>season. Gendron, only a 19-year old kid who had never played pro hockey before, was the big question mark. Larivee and Toppazzini had already proven their ability to play in the pro ranks. But Gendron, only a year out of the Quebec Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; League, was still of unknown quantity.</p><p>Reardon decided to watch the lad in training. Guy looked good. But Pieri did not want to sign the boy and have to ship him out to some place during the season. So it was decided to give Gendron a chance to play under the tryout rules which give teams the right to play a boy in a few games without turning him pro.</p><p>It took only two games to cinch Gendron a pro contract. In the season&rsquo;s opener on October 9 at Springfield, the Reds were beaten 7-4 but Gendron was in on tour of the goals with Larivee and Toppazzini and got one goal and two assists himself.</p><p>Then the next night he clicked for a pair of goals against Cleveland as the Reds won 5-4. The Toppazzini, Larivee, Gendron line was in on four of the five goals scored by the Egan team.</p><p>After that game, Pieri was no longer doubtful. He knew it was lime to sign Gendron to a pro contract. And after only three games&rsquo; in Rhode Island Auditorium, Gendron is already being hailed by the veteran fans as one<b><i>of</i></b> the greatest rookies ever to carry the colors of the Rooster.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0019-01131/1159158-1-eng-US/f0019-012.jpg" title="f0019-01" width="575" height="1219"></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

The Cats are going to be tough babies for everyone this season.</p><p>Off their showing in early games, the Barber Poles don&rsquo;t have the power of last season when they went to the finals. Last year the big line was Dusty Blair, Rip Riopelle and Leo Gravelie.</p><p>This year it was supposed to be Phil Maloney, Bep Guidolin and Gravelie.</p><p>They don&rsquo;t begin to compare. Gravelle is definitely out of place and seems lost working with Maloney and Guidolin. It is possible he will be moved (at his own request) to another unit.</p><p>The other lines are ordinary, too. Bobenic will help when he recovers from his elbow injury, as will Ford. And if the Senators get Gerry (Mau Mau) Foley back from Pittsburgh, he also will make a difference.</p><p>Probably what the Barber Poles miss most is the terrific forechecking which Riopelle and Blair used to provide. It produced a lot of goals, not to mention being a headache to the opposition.</p><p>This season the Senators are trying to forecheck, but are getting caught in there with resulting breakaways on a helpless defense and Ray Frederick.</p><p>It&rsquo;s still early, though, and if T.P. has anything to say or do about it&mdash;which he will&mdash;there will be changes for the better.

Missed Chances, Sloppy Shooting Nats’ Downfall

<div class="byline">By AL PARSLEY</div><p class="dropcap"><span>I</span>f any of Roger Leger&rsquo;s boys at Shawinigan Falls suffer from agraphobia (it means fear of height, Cuth bert) it&rsquo;ll be because they are light-headed from their strange surroundings.</p><p>The Cataracts took over first place in the Slater Circuit last week, and man and boy, none can recall when a team representing the Power City enjoyed such lofty eminence.</p><p>But Kenny Reardon, volatile general-manager of the Shawinigan team can offer many counter punches for those who may be inclined to treat the rise of the Cataracts with levity.</p><p>They won the hard way. To reach the top they trounced Montreal Royals and Quebec Aces in turn by 3-1 and 5-3 scores in this order. And these Royals and Aces were sharing the top rung before Shawinigan threw high voltage shocks into the works.</p><p>Eddie Kachur, a solidly built winger, was much in the limelight in both these stiring games. In the Royals-Cataracts&rsquo; joust at the Falls on Nov. 2, he cracked Gary Blaine, of the Montreal forces over the noggin and a fine fracas erupted.</p><p>Blaine roared like a wounded buffalo and made for Kachur, who had retreated from a point near the Shawinigan goal to centre ice. When Blaine raised his stick high to smack at Kachur the latter circled.</p><p>One stick wrenched from his clutches, Blaine rushed to Royals&rsquo; bench and brought out another, but he was restrained again by prudent comrades, as Kachur was meanwhile pacified by his mates.</p><p>That wasn&rsquo;t all. After double-majors were tacked upon the pair of axemen by referee Sibby Mundey, the game was resumed&mdash;there was less than five minutes to play&mdash;and it finished with little more ado.</p><p>As hockey players will, men from both teams gathered in the lobby of the rink exchanging gossip after the game, but when Blaine spied Kachur there was another rumpus. This was quelled with few or no blows landed though there were threats of reprisals at the next meeting.</p><p>A few moments later Reardon and Royal&rsquo;s g.m., Frank Carlin, had heater words. Carlin suggested that Kachur was pale as a ghost, frightened out his wits, and Royals would likely run him out of the Forum when Cataracts paid their next call in Montreal. Blaine would likely do it with no help.</p><p>Reardon only sniffed. &lsquo;&lsquo;We&rsquo;ll all be there,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;and Kachur too. None of your guys can scare us&rdquo;.</p><p>And he turned to your roving reporter;</p><p>&ldquo;Put it in the paper, that we&rsquo;ll all be there at the Forum, and we&rsquo;ll no scare easily for Carlin, Blain or anyone else&rdquo;.</p><p>&ldquo;Lend him a pencil and let him write your story for you,&rdquo; jeered Carlin.</p><p>And two days later, the shenanigans with Royals forgotten, the Cataracts went cut and clobbered the Aces.</p><p>And they won this one the hard-way too. They were down three goals in the first period, hacked one point off that lead before the first rest, then stormed back for three tallies in the middle canto to take command at 4-3 and added an insurance marker in the third chukker to stow the decision away in the deep freeze.</p><p>And Eddie Kachur chipped in with the hat-trick in this jubilee affair which was the biggest night in the Power City in a coupe of decades. Gerry Desaulniers and George Faulkner got the other Shawinigan tallies, and the Quebec goals were fired by Ludger Tremblay, Tim O&rsquo;Grady and Jim Uniac.</p><p>Between them Reardon and Leger have the Catarates all fired up.</p><p>Their team is a very sound defensively, and is full of the old desire as exemplified in the way they bounced back in this all-important game which offered them a chance of taking over gole rights to first place, since Royals were meantime absorbing a 3-2 defeat by Chicoutimi Sagueneens in Montreal.</p><p>Bob Perreault, the Shawinigan goalie, showed his aplomb by turning in a star-studded performance to hold off the Aces in the late stages of the game despite the early Quebec rush when he was fanned three times.</p><p>Perreault is the hot early favorite for the Georges Vezina Memorial Trophy. In nine games he was scored on only 16 times which gives him<b><i>a</i></b> big edge over all other goalies in the loop. Ray Frederick, of Ottawa, has fished the puck out of his cage 30 times in nine contests. Tom Hughes, of Chicoutimi, has been whiffed 34 times in the same number of outings. Andy Payette, of Valleyfield Braves has been passed 34 times in 10 games, but none of the others were any where in signalling range.</p><p>The Cataracts&rsquo; defense gets extra stuffening by the two blue lines pairs which have been giving Perreault such stout support. Ted Hodgson has been working with Bob Turner while Jean Guy Talbot has been paired with Jean Paul Lamirande and old Roger Leger, the playing coach, gets into action every once in a while when one of the others needs an extra long rest or the penalties run high.</p><p>It seems to be a happy combination and the team is clicking right now like a well-piled Swiss watch.</p><p>Ottawa Senators&rsquo; request for a switch of its Saturday night home games back to Saturday nights cause a mild commotion, but after a four hour meeting in one of the private salons at Windsor Hotel in Montreal, league president George Slater made everybody as happy as passible, with a complete new bookings where a conviction of dates occurred.</p><h2><b>Hurls Defi</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-0629/1159581-1-eng-US/f0016-062.jpg" title="f0016-06" width="594" height="556"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>KENNY REROON</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>Cracked Noggin</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-0723/1159574-1-eng-US/f0016-072.jpg" title="f0016-07" width="544" height="962"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>GARY BLAINE</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Kenny Reardon Tosses Gauntlet At Carlin, Says Royals Can’t Scare Him Or His Cats

<p>SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds are missing one player, name of Danny Poland.</p><p>The Northern Ontario Hockey Association team, which had been banking on the services of the former Ottawa Senator of the Quebec Hockey League, informed league officials that apparently Poland, a 23-year-old centre, has signed with Sudbury Wolves of the NOHA senior southern group.</p><p>A Greyhound spokesman said recently that Poland would join the Poland would join the team but would not play pending reinstatement as an amateur. He said it would be at least a week before Poland, on loan from Toronto Maple Leafs, could play.</p><p>Secretary Russ Ramsay said later that Poland&rsquo;s status now hinges on whether or not his amateur papers have been signed.</p><p>&ldquo;If Poland&rsquo;s amateur papers have gone through, then he would be free as an amateur to make his own deal with any club,&rdquo; Ramsay pointed out.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Greyhounds Lose Poland

<div class="byline">By LES DALY</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>There&rsquo;s an old sports saying that&rsquo;s often heard around the rinks. It goes something like: &ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t matter if it&rsquo;s one goal or 10 goals as long as you win the game.&rdquo;</p><p>That saying couldn&rsquo;t be any truer than when applied to the current campaign in the Quebec Junior Hockey League. According to the standings the league is strictly a two-team race with the Montreal Canadiens holding the edge, at time of writing, over the Quebec Frontenacs.</p><p>The other two clubs, Trois-Rivieres and hapless Jonquiere Marquis are in the basement division of the standing practically out of reach of the two top clubs. That&rsquo;s according to the standings.</p><p>But a game-by-game comparison of the clubs around the circuit gives a much different picture, simply because wheter it&rsquo;s one goal or 10, it&rsquo;s still a game in the win column, or lost column depending where you call home.</p><p>Consider the tail-end Marquis for example. The Jonquiere club hasn&rsquo;t won a game this season. They are in the basement a full 15 points behind the front-running Baby Habs. But game by game they have been a lot closer than that.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0017-01144/1159636-1-eng-US/f0017-012.jpg" title="f0017-01" width="303" height="453"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Elmer Lach</b></figcaption></div><p>The Jonquieres have lost 11 games this season. But in only three of them have they been behind by more than two goals at the final whistle. It&rsquo;s something of the &ldquo;always a bridesmaid never a bride&rdquo; situation. Still, in the cold facts of the statistics, they&rsquo;re winless and bogged in the basement.</p><p>Although we&rsquo;re not advocating that any change should be made in the standings, it&rsquo;s still an interesting thing to note when the subject of weak sisters in the league is brought up. It sees obvious that with a little bolstering at a few key positions the Marquis might be made into a contender.</p><p>Meanwhile the Quebec junior season swings into its fifth week with the Canadiens and the Fronts still neck and neck, which is probably the way they&rsquo;ll be wight down to the wire. With all the top-notch coaching material around in Elmer Lach, Phil Watson, Gerry Plamondon and Gerry McNeil there still hasn&rsquo;t been any inkling of a feud between any of the coaches.</p><p>It&rsquo;s just not natural for four hockey enthusiasts to go through a season virtually at loggerheads without any of them saying anything nasty about the other ones. Maybe the Quebec loop, scene of some of the stormiest and noisiest battles ever to melt the artificial ice, is calming down a bit. Then again, it might be the fact that all the coaches are ex-Montreal Canadiens players.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Mived in last place after losing their first four games of the season, the Mercs sent out a hurry call for another goal-tender.</p><p>They got Roy McMeekin, who immediately stepped into the breach as a replacement for Norm Defelice, and that was when Toledo&rsquo;s fortunes took a turn for the better.</p><p>McMeekin, 24-year-old star of the Halifax Atlantics, 19 53-54 champions of the now-defunct Maritime Major League, yielded only two goals in his first two outings as the Mercs won them both from Johnstown to advance a notch to fifth place in the IHL standings.</p><p>With McMeekin knocking out the shots, the northern Ohioans first edged Johnstown, 3-2, for their initial victory, and then came right back to blank the Jets, 3-0. That left Doug McCaig&rsquo;s skaters just two points out of second place in the conference standings.</p><p>Not that Defelice, with Sidney in<sub>(</sub>the MMHL a year ago, hadn&rsquo;t been doing a passable job. It was just that Toledo opened the season with four straight contests on the road, and couldn&rsquo;t get its offense to click, as Defelice gave up four goals in each of his first three starts. Cincinnati&rsquo;s Mohawks then pushed the puck past him nine times and that was when McMeekin not his summons to don a Merc uniform.</p><h2>Potential Threat</h2><p>Despite the fact that Toledo has been able to score just nine goals in its first six games, there&rsquo;s very little doubt that the Mercurys have the potential to harass the other IHL net-minders.</p><p>McCaig&rsquo;s No. 1 line of Roy-Hammond at centre and Dick Pontarollo and John Kovich on the wings remains intact, a fact that itself can bode ill for the opposition.</p><p>Between them, these three puck-chasers lit the red light 114 times last year, with Pontarollo getting 50 goals, Hammond adding 35 more and Kovich contributing 29. Pontarollo piled up 106 points, Hammond 89 and Kovich 81 in a great season for the trio.</p><p>Also available up front are Capt. Chuck Wood and Val Walker, two holdovers, in addition to newcomers Gerry Prince from Marion, John Sherban from Louisville, Graham Joyce from the Kitchener juniors and Yvan Chasle from North Bay.</p><p>McCaig himself again anchors the defense corps, which is bolstered by veterans Frank Hughes, Jack Novak and Bill Mitchell, the latter a converted forward, and another rookie from the Kitchener juniors, Byrle Klinck.</p><h2>Good Prospects</h2><p>All in all, prospects appear to be pretty good for the Mercs this year, even though they were off to such a slow start.</p><p>In the meantime, the Cincinnati Mohawks continue to brush aside all foes as they bid for their third straight. International League and United States senior hockey titles.</p><p>Roly McLenahan&rsquo;s Hawks reeled off five straight victories to move three games in front of runner-up Ft. Wayne with six triumphs in their first seven starts.</p><p>Ft. Wayne, after winning its first three contests, hit a snag in Grand Rapids and were beaten, 7-3, but still clung to second place, a shade ahead of Grand Rapids and Troy, tied for third. Next came Toledo, with Johnstown, weakened by the loss of several of its 19 53-54 mainstays, bringing up the rear.</p><p>ICING THE PUCK&hellip;Twenty-year-old Gaetan Dessureault of Cincinnati became the first IHL goalie to mark up two shutouts this year when he whitewashed Toledo, 9-0. McMeekin was credited with the week&rsquo;s only other blank, 3-0 over Johnstown&hellip;Ivan Walmsley continues to be stingiest goalie in the loop, with a 2.25 mark on nine goals allowed in four games, seven of them by Grand Rapids&hellip;Three prime reasons for the spectacular success of Cincinnati are a trio of rookie forwards who make up the Hawks&rsquo; &ldquo;Kid Line.&rdquo; All of them 21 years old, and making the jump from junior hockey, they are Center Phil Goyette and his wingmen, Denis Booucher and Barry Thorndycraft. In their first seven games, Boucher piled up eight goals and five assists for 13 points, Goyette three goals and nine assists for 12 points and Thorndycraft five goals and four assists for nine points.</p><h2><b>He&rsquo;s All They Needed</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></h2>
