Muzz Tabs Howell A Future All-Star
NEW YORK, N.Y.— Some people will do funny things, when there’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. 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—in American or Canadian currency. The Rangers’ most precious item right now is a 21-year-old defenseman, Harry Howell. Although he doesn’t have the flash of Red Kelly or the awesome bulk of Butch Bouchard, there isn’t a club in the NHL that doesn’t covet this grinning young man…


Adam Makes WHL History, Scores 200th Goal For Mark
VANCOUVER. BC— Western Hockey League history was made Oct. 30 when Douglas Patrick Adam, veteran 31–year old Vancouver left winger, scored on Bev Bentley of Saskatoon. Adam started the game with. 199 goals in WHL competition and needed only one more to become the first player in the loop to score 200. The WHL’s most prolific marksman has the distinction of being the only player to win the individual goal scoring championship more than once, and his 53 goals in the 194 9-50 season while playing for Muzz Patrick at Tacoma is the league record. Doug was scoring king that season and again in 1952-53, when he tallied 39 times. Last season was the first campaign in six full seasons as a professional that the native of Toronto, who now makes his home in…


McMeekin’s Magic Wand Works Wonders for Mercs
TOLEDO, Ohio.— It’s amazing what one change can do for a hockey team. Take the case of the Toledo Mercurys in the International Hockey League. Mived in last place after losing their first four games of the season, the Mercs sent out a hurry call for another goal-tender. They got Roy McMeekin, who immediately stepped into the breach as a replacement for Norm Defelice, and that was when Toledo’s fortunes took a turn for the better. 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. With McMeekin knocking out the shots, the northern Ohioans first edged Johnstown, 3-2, for their…
