Montreal To Honor Mosdell With Special Night, Feb. 19
MONTREAL, Que.— Kenny Mosdell, Canadiens’ All-Star centre and a strong candidate to hold his post, will be honored by Montreal fans on Feb. 19 between periods of a National Hockey, League game with the Rangers. The 32-year-old pivot man, who rose from comparative obscurity last season to score 22 goals, the highest output of his career, broke into professional hockey in 1941 with the old New York Americans. Only other player in the league who played with the Amerks is Harry Watson, now with the Chicago Black Hawks. “You hear people say a player at 32 is getting pretty old,” said Mosdell the other day. “Maybe they are but I feel as young as ever.’’ Coach Dick Irvin paid him a unique tribute when he said, “We’ve often had to get along without men like…
Rates Ed Sandford One Of Greatest St. Mike’s Products
(This is the second and concluding article by Margaret Scott on the hockey history of St. Michael’s College—one of the greatest centres for producing puck talent in the country). TORONTO, Ont.— Looking back over his past students Father Flanagan of St. Mike’s has a kindly thought for all the boys. “They were all different personalities and I really wouldn’t have wanted to change any of them,” he stated. ‘‘I will say that Eddie Sandford is probably one of our best products. He had an advantage over some of the others because he started with us from grade 9, but in his six years with the school he captained a team in every term and five of them won championships. As an athlete he was one of our greatest and as an individual,…

Player-of-the-Week
MONTREAL, Que.— When Big Jean Beliveau finally signed with Montreal Canadiens at the beginning of the 1953-54 season after a fabulous career as a highly-paid “amateur”, there were many who predicted great things for him. There were others however, who predicted that he would find National Hockey League competition considerably less to his liking than the Quebec Senior League variety. This latter group seemed justified in their criticism of the starry centre when he got off to slow start in 1953, mostly due to injuries. But then he picked up speed and finished 1954 with a rush. Now, in his second season as a professional, Big Jean is finding things quite a bit more to his liking and is, right at the moment, one of the hottest things to hit the NHL in…
