Dodgers Hilda…A Ranger Fan
NEW YORK, N.Y.— The Rangers Fan Club celebrated the highest stature of the New York sextet in years by tossing a fun-filled informal banquet in honor of the team, Nov. 14, at the Henry Hotel in the heart of Manhattan. More than 150 hockey folks were in attendance including General John Reed Kilpatrick, president of the Blues, GM Muzz Patrick, coach Phil Watson and all the Ranger players. Idea of the affair was to fete the team and at the same time provide a relaxed atmosphere where both fans and players could get to know one another on a more intimate basis. As an extra-added attraction, Gabe Dell, “star of stage, screen and radar”, along with press-agent Herb Morrison, restaged their popular player-interviewer skit with Dell portraying Leapin’ Louie Fontinato and Morrison doing a…
The Stars Pick A Winner!
“It’s the best magazine I’ve read yet on hockey. It’s easy to read and easy to look at. The pictures are very clear and distinct and the stories contain information that doesn’t appear in other magazines. I believe you’ve really scored with HOCKEY PICTORIAL.” “I think HOCKEY PICTORIAL is fops in every way and I know that the other players in the National Hockey League feel the same way.

A truly greot magazine.” “My wife and I took a subscription to HOCKEY PICTORIAL before the first issue came out and we’re mighty happy…
Shermie Shows The Way
HALIFAX, N.S.— Shermie White, the Maritime native who played a lot of topnotch hockey away from home, has taken over the scoring leadership in the Atlantic Coast League. White, a graduate of Amherst St. Patrick’s, a better than usual Maritime junior team, won his senior spurs with Halifax RCAF in the wartime league. After the war he pastimed with many teams in the American League, saw brief service with New York Rangers in the NHL and had three good years in the Quebec League, once winning the most valuable player trophy. Last winter he stayed home and Amherst had a great season in the Coast League. The Ramblers were drawing cards all over the circuit and the major credit was given to White. The sportsmen of Amherst, who put together a fund of…
THE FAN FORUM
Signals Crossed? Dear Sirs: I may have my signals crossed but I have a complaint to make against the ballyhoo that’s being given to Jean Beliveau for the mid-season Hart Trophy voting. I freely admit that Beliveau is a great hockey player and a great center and is very valuable to the Canadiens. But how can anyone in his right mind (which I must assume the selectors are, although sometimes I wonder) vote for Beliveau over the Rangers’ Gump Worsley. Beliveau is one among many prolific scorers on the powerful Canadiens, and his loss would naturally hurt them a great deal. But just stop for a minute and think where the Rangers would be without Gump. The Ranger rise this season in one of the brightest spots in the National League campaign and as…
