Juniors Find Early Level, Habs, Flambeaux Set Pace
MONTREAL, Que.— There’s an old sports saying that’s often heard around the rinks. It goes something like: “It doesn’t matter if it’s one goal or 10 goals as long as you win the game.” That saying couldn’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. 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’s according to the standings. But a game-by-game comparison of the clubs around the circuit gives a much different picture, simply because wheter it’s one goal or 10, it’s…

Marshall Back on Skates, May Get Key Centre Spot
MONTREAL, Que.— 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. 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. Hailed as a prospect, along with Jackie Leclair, for the centre slot vacated by Elmer Lach, he cracked a tibia—the main bone of the leg—near the ankle joint in a pre-season workout. Leclair got the key spot between Maurice Richard and Bert Olmstead acclamation while Marshall went to hospital. Now, more than a month since the accident, Marshall is skating well and so he will be ready to try to win…
“Great Gabbo” Eddie Dorohoy Top Funny Man
NEW YORY, N.Y.— Every hockey training camp has its “Great Gabbo,” the guy who insists on being heard on and off the ice, and this fall the Rangers had a dandy in Pistol Eddie Dorohoy. They had a few other interesting characters, including the familiar Gump Worsley and the rugged individualist. Leapin’ Louie Fontinato, but for sheer force of personality, Dorohoy was easily the “Best of Show.” 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. Even Don (Bones) Raleigh, no blushing violet, was green with envy. “He sounds funnier to you,” Bones said, “because…
