Ross Lowe To Get Another Shot At NHL With Rangers

BUFFALO, N.Y.— The drafting of Ross Lowe, Springfield center, by the New York Rangers represented a personal victory for the one-time “Bad Boy” of the American League Buffalo Bisons. Lowe, already a two-time loser at making the National League with Boston and Montreal, was believed to have eliminated himself from any further consideration back in 1953. The tousle-haired Lowe was with Buffalo on option from Montreal after having recovered from a knee injury that hampered him during the 1951-52 campaign with Canadiens. Frank Eddolls, then in his freshman year as Buffalo coach, picked Lowe as team captain. The Bisons, hampered by injuries and a below standard rester, counted heavily upon the husky, then-defenseman. The team still had an outside chance for a playoff spot when Lowe was summoned to the office of General Manager Fred…

Tough Tony Durable Guy

CHICAGO, Ill.—The acquisition of fiery forward Tony Leswick gives the Black Hawks a genuine “iron man” sort of skater for the first time in years. Now a 10-year NHL veteran at the age of 32, he has missed only two games out of a total of 650 as a member of the Rangers and champion Detroiters. Both of these contests that saw Tony on the sidelines were white he was with New York Rangers from 1945-51. Once came in the 1945-46 campaign, his first in the NHL, while the other was put into the league records during 1949-50. He played all the way in the past four 70-game slates of the Red Wings. In addition to this distinction, Leswick will hit his 300th scoring point the first time he assists on a…
