Kitchener’s Prolific Scoring Line Sets Hottest Pace In Junior Race
GUELPH, Ont— Kitchener’s prolific scoring line of Stan Baluik, Walt Bradley and Willie O’Ree is still the hottest unit in the tight junior “A” race. They’ve racked up 37 points in their first six games…an average of a little better than six a game…and have been the key factor in the Canucks sharp reversal of form.

That’s because the goalies themselves seem to be getting better instead of worse. Look what’s happening. In the first 43 games there were 16 shutouts. A year ago there were only seven shutouts in the first 49 games. To Clarence Campbell, this is little…
