QUEBEC LEAGUE
Andy Gets Topper Andre Corriveau of the Montreal Royals is off and running to a good start this year. In his first game of the season he scored the hat-trick as Royals beat Quebec, 4-2. Standout Goalie Phil Hughes of Shawinigan Falls Cataracts provided plenty of inspiration as his team beat Trois-Rivières 2-0. He turned back 3-0 shots for a shutout. HOW THE RACE GOES SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9 Montreal 4, Quebec 2 A hat-trick by veteran Andre Corriveau sparked the Montreal Royals to a 4-2 win over Quebec Aces before 4,588 fans in a Quebec Hockey League season opener at the Forum Sunday.

Tape Measure Tells Tale As Lum, Tim Discover
TORONTO, Ont.— In attempting to measure up a hockey club, it is not normally necessary to employ a tape measure. But this year’s Toronto Maple Leafs are an exception. Tape measures, although they have not yet been adopted as standard equipment, are destined to play an important part in the fortunes of King Clancy’s rebuilt clan. It was because of a tape-measure that goaltender Harry Lumley was obliged to undertake his first full season with a new and narrower-bladed stick. And it was because of another tape measure that defenseman Tim Horton was forced to miss the first three weeks of play. Lum, who had been unwittingly using an oversized stick until Chicago’s Dick Irvin, then coaching Canadiens, ordered it measured last winter, is certain he’ll benefit from his lighter weapon. Similarly, Horton, who…
Ding-Dong Duel For Calder Cup Is Forecast
HERSHEY, Pa.— Another ding-dong scramble for Calder Cup playoff berths, with his Hershey Bears in the thick of the melee, is forecast by coach Murray Henderson. Henderson, of course, is, like all other athletic coaches at the start of a new season, very optimistic about his club’s chances of nailing down a playoff spot. However, a glance at his squad reveals the reasons why he is so confident that the Bears won’t miss the American Hockey League gravy train next March. A year ago at this time, Henderson went to the AHL post with an unknown quantity. Almost half of his ice men had no previous professional experience. This year only two amateurs are members of the Bear complement. Hershey is stronger in all departments, particularly on defense. Long John Henderson, who is heir…
