Rangers’ Draft Choice Loses Life Swimming
HALIBURTON, Ont.— Ross Lowe, named as centre on the American Hockey League, drowned in Lake Haliburton recently while swimming after a runaway boat. Lowe, a standout with Springfield Indians last season, was drafted for $15,000 by New York Rangers of the National Hockey League last June and was counted on being a big help in their rebuilding plans.

The Lung’s Greatest Thrill, When Teeps Won The Memorial

There is a good chance that they would have obtained the same type of welcomes had they lodged with the Eskimos in the Far…
