MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;That, ..time of year is finally here again &hellip; the time when all good hockey fans, given their first taste of blood and hockey by the National Hockey League season, reach for their NHL Press and Radio Guides.For this is the only book on the market that will give them the information they&rsquo;re going to be using all season. And not only during the NHL season, for despite its title, the Guide caters to other leagues, too. Between its orange and black covers, fans who follow the exciting paths of the American League, the Western Hockey League and others, will find details on their heroes, details that have not been compiled Into any other volume.It has been said of this guide that it makes an expert out of the regular fan. Actually, it does more than that for him. Unlike most statistical tomes, it can be fun to read, and unlike the telephone book, once described by a wag as having a tremendous cast but very little plot, the guide spans an entire era of the hockey world, so that it is part history book, part record-book, a veritable who&rsquo;s who, a sort of universal box score Of the National Hockey League&rsquo;s activities over the years.<h2>A Book Of Facts And Figures</h2>Such a book isn&rsquo;t the work of a month, but of years and the fan, casually flipping his way through the 232 pages of this compact volume, may well be impressed with the meticulous thought, the diligent research and the many hours of plain hard labor that went into its compilation. It has been called, and with good reason, hockey&rsquo;s bible. Facts are listed alphabetically for easy reference, and &reg;n the first line of the index page attention is drawn to&rsquo; the All-Star games, so that anyone lucky enough to have been in the Montreal Forum on Tuesday October 9, has at his fingertips all there is to know about All Star games as far back in 1931.In actual content, the book opens as it should, With the complete listing of each NHL club &hellip; its players, directors and officials, down to such details as directions on how to find the home arena in which the team plays and, if you&rsquo;re a visiting aewspaperman, how you get to the press box. This is only one indication of how thorough Editor Ken McKenzie, who is also Publicity Director of the NHL, has been. At scraping the bottom of the fact barrel, Mr. McKenzie is something of a genius; and five inelusion into the book of Jim Hendy&rsquo;s Hockey Guide and Who&rsquo;s Who in Hockey rounds out an admirable piece of work.<h2>A Thorough Job of Research</h2>Not the last in importance by any means is the section devoted to personal statistics on famous professional players. Don Ellis, asociate editor of the Guide, has done a thorough job here; he brings into close focus all the pertinent details of those men who have reached the ultimate in hockey. so that no reader has to put this book down unsatisfied on any point he wants to know.While the NHL Guide, was primarily designed for quick knowledge by hockey&rsquo;s thousands of fans, it has another purpose, too. and one that reveals with what esteem it is held by the professional men who cover the sport. No newspaper office is without this book; and no sports writer. harried by phone calls from fans who don&rsquo;t happen to have one of these guides, could get along without it. For memory is a tricky thing. But here memory is solidified, frozen in print, and beyond personal error.As an added touch the book contains, at its very end, the entire NHL schedule for the current year &hellip; with a refinement. This is the inclusion of blank space for the recording of each game&rsquo;s score, and properly filled in as the season passes, this record rounds out o volume that gains in usefulness as the years roll.The NHL Guide is going into its ninth year now, with every season&rsquo;s release sort of anniversary. As the popularity of Canada&rsquo;s national sport increases, so too does the demand for this fine, compact little volume. It is. as much as anything else, a service to a peculiar sort, of community the &hellip; community that exists wherever a puck is iced or a goal scored.As such, it is a success, and like all successes, it deserves its tribute and the patronage of the fans who have made it a necessity.

NHL Guide Offers Fans Quick Hockey Referance

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div>NEW YORK. N.Y.&mdash;Muzz Patrick, the Rangers&rsquo; General Manager, predicts that Ron Murphy will he the leading Rangers goal scorer in 1956-57! We repeat for the benefit of those skeptics and others suffering from poor eyesight. Muzz Patrick predicts that Ron Murphy will be the leading Ranger goal scorer in 1956-57.Hard to believe, eh? Well, don&rsquo;t sell Muzz short. He predicted the NHL standings exactly right last season so maybe he&rsquo;s got something there when it comes to Murphy.&ldquo;Say. Muzz, do you think Murphy has enough on the ball (or should we say &ldquo;puck&rdquo;) to top such prolific scorers as Andy Hebenton, Andy Bathgate and Danny Lewicki?&rdquo;&ldquo;That&rsquo;s right. Of course, until this season I didn&rsquo;t think he had it in him but we&rsquo;ve got a new&rsquo; Murphy this year.&rdquo;&ldquo;Why the optimism over a guy who never scored more than 16 goals in any season as a pro? And never displayed the giddyap necessary for a top NHL per-former?&rdquo;&ldquo;Murph has finally arrived. He&rsquo;s a big boy now. Trouble is, you&rsquo;re too used to comparing him with the other Guelph players like Bathgate, Prentice and Howell, who he came up with. Remember, he&rsquo;s a year younger than they are and may have been slower maturing both mentally and physically.&rdquo;&ldquo;Okay, okay. Muzz, but does that qualify him as the LEADING Ranger goal scorer?&rdquo;&ldquo;That and the fact that he has the equipment to be one of the best.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-02269/1624122-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg" title="f0005-02" width="280" height="413"><figcaption class="caption-body">&ldquo;Such as?&rdquo;Andy Bathgate</figcaption></div>&ldquo;A terrific shot, harder than most people believe. And he&rsquo;s good on the backhander as well as forehand. He&rsquo;s a strong skater and he&rsquo;s got a powerful physique which I think, he&rsquo;ll put to good use this year.&rdquo;&ldquo;How about the incident with Bernie Geeffrion three years&rsquo; age. Hasn&rsquo;t that kept him on the &lsquo;shy&rsquo; side. He never was overly aggresive?&ldquo;You saw him check Flaman against Beaton, didn&rsquo;t you? Thai Geoffrion incident is gone and forgotten.&rdquo;Then there&rsquo;s his attitude. Murph seems to take things easy. never gets fired up. Won&rsquo;t that hamper him, or has he changed?&rdquo;<h2>HAS INCENTIVE</h2>&ldquo;Ever hear of incentive? Welt, the kid&rsquo;s got a good one now. He&rsquo;s married. That brings responsibility. He needs the money and he knows the better he plays the more cash he&rsquo;ll gel. That should get him to move his fanny.&rdquo;Patrick&rsquo;s confidence in Murphy&rsquo;s scoring ability is not totally reflected by his coach. Phil Watson. Phil doesn&rsquo;t expect Ron to outscore Bathgate. Prentice. Lewicki and Hebenton but he does think Murphy is capable of 20 goals and that&rsquo;s the quota he&rsquo;s given him.Taling with Murphy one gets the impression that he REALLV is a changed man. He acts like one, looks like one and thinks like one.&ldquo;What&rsquo;s different about you this year?&rdquo; we asked him.&ldquo;I guess the big change is that I&rsquo;m married,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;To me it&rsquo;s made all the difference in the world.

He got a hat trick in the NHL opener and eight goals in the first eight games. But when the shooting was over. Ron had to settle for 15. Still, it was au improvement. He was 14-16-10 in his first full season as a Ranger and last year was 16-28-44His luck so far this year has been bad. A sprained ankle sidelined him from the first two Ranger games.

Muzz Patrick Predicts Ron Murphy Will Lead Ranger Goal Getters

<div class="byline">By BOB HESKETH</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0005-03" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03208/1624153-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">Potting &rsquo;Em AgainSID SMITH</figcaption></div>TORONTO, On!.&mdash;Howie Meeker&rsquo;s Rockin&rsquo; Rollers have been playing their music on an oft beat so far this season. Toronto fans, who were accustomed to seeing the heroes victorious at home and lachyrmose on the road, have been surprised to see the Leafs blow off such advantages as two goal leads at Maple Leaf Gardens and. according to all reports received by wireless and the occasional actual witness, act like beavers on the roadThis remarkable metamorphosis from Iasi year&rsquo;s squad has Meeker slightly perplexed. But, being a youthful and ambitious coach, his perplexity is only momentary.It is perhaps because the emphasis for winning on the road has been over-emphasized. Meekers feels that when a club plays at home it should not he prodstuck with needles to to go out and win. If a young chap is hauling down good money to play the freight, there can be only two things wrong with him: either he is not an NHL hockey player or he is ati NHL hockey player who is loafiug.In either case, it becomes ne cesary to eradicate him.The Leafs have not been without their pleasant surprises. Ooe of these is the re-emergence of Sid Smith, the resigned captain, whose early performance has led to the belief, haltingly shared by Smitty himself, that this should be a 20-goal year tor him. The other has been the shocking rehabilitation of Jim Thomson whose play indicates that the appointment of captain has been a transfusion for him.<h2>Pleasantly Shocked</h2>Recently discussing his slaves from a vantage point behind the Gardens&rsquo; blues. Meeker confessed that he has already been pleasantly shocked by the performance of some of them. The forward combination of Tod Sloan. Dick Duff and George Armstrong, for instance, seems to be a compact, settled conclusion. The Slinker has lost none of his magic touch around the nets and Duff, indeed, seems to have completely eluded the slowing, sometimes disastrous effects of a sophomore year.Rudy Migay. Sid Smith and Hon Stewart are a good enough combination to hold their own but questions seem Vo arise in the slough of talent. Gary Aldcpm, for instance, has not yet proven that he deserves such an elevated job as one in the NHL.Behind him. always ready to check in at a moment&rsquo;s notice is Gord Hannigan, the oft elevated and banished captain of the Rochester club.<h2>Msappotatnienrs</h2>Billy Harris, a slinking, craftily-moving Ranger type of hockey player, may not yet fit into the Meeker mould and Barry Cullen, the raw-boned brother of an illustrious brother, Brian, has scarcely done anything to set the populace in a tizzy, though this may be because of the fact that he has so little time on the ice 1 hat he has scarcely had the opportunity to meet the other chaps.At right wing, Gerry James, though he has-been no Howe insofar as scoring is concerned, is showing signs of fulfilling the early promise the management hoped he would have. Bur Alley Oop. as he has been cunningly dubbed by his mates, is skating better than he was up until the closing stages of last season.&ldquo;James,&rdquo; Meeker allowed begrudingty.&rdquo; is one of the strongest players 1 have seen on skates.&rdquo;Another talking point has been the performance of Brian Cullen who, with his brother Barry on one side and the rugged Bobby Pulford on the other, was to have been the key to the Leafs second most dependable line. Raiford missed the first few games because of injury and. performance, the line has not; yet had the chance to demons tiate its potential.When Meeker had Cullen with the Pittsburgh Hornets, he sometimes despaired that, he would ever learn to do the things which were required of a man who man who sought promotion to the NHL. It was becoming apparent that Cullen could be just another over-publicized junior who never would fulfill his early promise.<h2>Remarkable Change</h2>But it has become obvious that his time with last year&rsquo;s caoch. King Clancy, and the-service he rendered with the Winnipeg Warriors have brought about a remarkable change in him. Now he is making moves which satisfy Meeker that he not only belongs with the club, but could be a great hockey player.These become ail mundane discussions to the light of losses. I he truth is that several fans in Maple Leaf Gardens have been rendering; the Bronx razoo. venting their displeasure at not seeing a dub that can win at home as often as they would wish.&ldquo;Maybe it Is because I haven&rsquo;t: been giving it to them as much as I should at home.&rdquo; Meeker explains. &ldquo;On the road I try to get them mad at themselves, mad at me, mad at the referees, mad at anybody just so long as they I are mard. I feel that when you are in front of your own crowd, the desire should be there without having to do that sort of thing. I know that some of them are not working as hard as they could and I am going to see that that is changed. But if you start to blow off at them now, so early in the season, by the time next February comes them goes in one ear and out the other.&rdquo;Meeker has one advantage going with him If orators are required to spell him off as the season progresses, he can always call on C. (for Cicero) Day or C.F. (for Filibuster) Smythe.Some of the speeches they have made to previous gnarled and hardened men, would transform the current crop kite a state of petrification. &#9632;

AHL All-Stars In Action

Club Unbeaten Through Seven Games To DateHabs In Worst Slump Since 1950-51 SeasonMONTREAL, Que.&mdash;.Detroit Red Wings, unbeaten in seven games thus far this season, are off to one of the greatest starts in the history of the club.The Wings, determined to regain the National Hockey League championship they last season lost to the Montreal Canadiens, have won five and tied, two in racking up their unbeaten skein.Last Red Wing club to even come close to matching this year&rsquo;s record start was the ISAJIS outfit, which won four and tied one of its first five starts. No Detroit team, prior to this year, ever managed six games in a row without a loss starting out a new campaign.The streak has helped the Motor City sextet take a firm grip on first place in the standings with twelve points, two better than the runner-up Toronto Maple Leafs who have played one more game.Montreal Canadiens, the defending champs, on the other hand, are currently in the throes of one of the_ worst slumps in the Club&rsquo;s history, with only two wins and a tie to show for eight outings.To make matters worse, the Habs have lost their last four games, dropping decisions to the New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs. Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings.The Bruins, in fact, have taken two out of three games from the defending kingpins thus far this season.Chicago Black Hawks. NHL cellar-dwellers, have only managed to register one point in the standings thus far, a tie with the slumping Habs.<h2>Not Scoring</h2>A look at the &ldquo;Goals For&rdquo; column of the standings is enough to show the reason for the Habs&rsquo; downfall thus far.To date, the usually goal-happy Habitants have managed only 15 tallies, as compared to the 22 rung up by the Red Wings in one less game.Even the Leafs, normally a low-scoring crew, have racked up five more goals than the champs.In the goals-against department the Montrealers match their production, with 15 pucks having managed to elude Jacques Plante and his temporary replacement, Gerry Mc-Neil, who allowed three in the one game in which he participated.As a result of their almost complete collapse of late, the Canadiens find themselves in the unusually low position of fifth in the standings, seven points back of the nigh-flying Red Wings.To find a parallel for the Canadians&rsquo; current plight, it is necessary to go all the way back to Deiember, 1950. when the Montrealers lost five in a row, gained a draw and then recovered their form by blasting the Black Hawks.As the team Selected by most observers to walk off with all the marbles this time around, the Habs have their work cut out for them. First order of business is a snapping of their current losing streak.Bols AnswerBoston Bruins, 14, in 1929-30 &#9632;

WINGS OFF TO BEST START EVER

<div class="byline">By MARSHALL DANN</div>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;It took the Red Wings only five games this season to achieve as much profit as they gained in their first 12 games a year ago.The horrendous start in &lsquo;55-&rsquo;56 saw the Wings go 12 games to get their eighth point. This year they had eight points in five games the first three victories followed by a pair of ties.So far it was one of the finest starts in team history. The &lsquo;4 8-&rsquo;4 9 outfit did slightly belter by winning four and lying one of the first five. But no Detroit team ever went through its first six games without losing, which became the target for the next outing.While pleasing, all this was somewhat surprising. Not just because it was different from a year ago but because it came about, despite Alex Delvecchio and Bill Dineen being on the shelf with injuries. Two lines were revamped and two raw rookies. Tom McCarthy and Billy McNeil, were broken in after those two regular forwards were forced to the sidelines.Team balance appeared to be the most solid reason for the fast start. The goals were evenly spread across three lines with three more contributed by the defense. Every regular forward had contributed at least one goal.Certainly the key goal in keeping the Wings undefeated was one which Gordie Howe produced. Detroit was on the losing end of a 3-2 score with Toronto with only 4 0 seconds left in the game when Capt. Red Kelly steamed down the middle with Howe flanking. Kelly passed off and Howe flashed home a sharp-angle 20-footer for a 3-3 tie.<h2>Leads Lost</h2>The Wings also were tied, 3 to 3, in their next try but this one was different. Metro Prystai and Lorne Ferguson got a pair in the first six minutes only to have a fighting Boston team cut the edge. Dutch Reibel produced another lead at .3-2 but this too was lost.ICE CHIPS. Detroit&rsquo;s Ullman-Howe-Lindsay ice was on the ice for eight of the team&rsquo;s first 15 goals but they actually scored only five of them. Lindsay and Ullman had two each and Howe oneThe second line which has Marty Pavelich spotted at center in place of Delvecchio between Prystai and Ferguson has four goals, two by Prystai and one each by Pavelich and Ferguson. The third line, which utilizes all the remaining forwards, has come up with three goals, two by Rookie Billv Dea and one by Reibel.Pronovost. Kelly and Hillman have scored for the defense with Hillman&rsquo;s his first in the NHL. It came in his 57th game spread over three seasons.Howes was his 310th, 13 short of making him the second highest goal-getter in hockey history. Nels Stewart stopped at 323. a total long passed by Montreal&rsquo;s prolific Rocket Richard who had 460 when the present campaign opened. Lindsay, who now has 293. also has a reasonable chance of passing Stewart&rsquo;s total in his career.<h2>BUCKV IMPROVED</h2>Kelly and Pronovost have been the strongest defensemen so far. Hollingworth, getting more and more action. has shown his best play since donning a Detroit uniform & year ago.Goalie Glenn Hall, in allowing nine goals in five games, has been the top performer on the club so far. There hasn&rsquo;t been a single sign yet that Hall last season&rsquo;s &ldquo;Rookie-of-the-Year will be hit by the so-called so phomore jinxMcCarthy was 12 pounds under his usual playing weight when he took the ice for the first time. An emergency appendectomy performed at training camp kept him off ice for three weeks. He was lean and drawn when he returned to skating and. after getting the approval of doctors to play, quickly showed fatigue. Coach Jimmy Skinner has been using the lanky youngster tor only a turn or two each period while he regains his &ldquo;legs&rdquo;.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01277/1623870-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="817" height="1415"><figcaption class="caption-body">Gets No. 1LARRY HILLMAN</figcaption></div><h2>ATTENDANCE UP</h2>Detroit&rsquo;s attendance has shown a steady climb in the four games at home. There were 10,731 for the opener with Chicago, then 10,781 to see New&rsquo; York. 11,3 29 for Toronto and 11.511 for Boston.The Wings went five games before anyone was tagged with a major penalty. Norm Ullman, the quietest man on the club who received only 13 minors as a rookie last season, drew the five-minute assignment for the dubious honor of getting a sock on the jaw from Bob Armstrong, burly Boston defenseman. They wrestled briefly and then Armstrong landed the best blow on the first swinf.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02261/1623863-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="541" height="1147"><figcaption class="caption-body">Important CoalGORDIE HOWE</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Red Wings Seven Games Ahead Of ’55-56 In Point Production

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0002-03" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03236/1623925-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jack-Of-AII-TradesGERRY TOPPAZZINI</figcaption></div>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;After years of bouncing from one position to another on short notice, Jerry Toppazzini finally seems to have found a niche for himself with the Boston Bruins.For the past four years the 25-year-old Toppazzini was the National League&rsquo;s most Versatile player, a veritable Jack-of-all-trades.As an employee of the Bruins, Chicago, Detroit and the Bruins again he played all positions, filled all assignments. Once, in an exhibition game, he even played goal for a short stretch.But so far this season he has been a Johnny One Note. The former one-man team has been playing right wing exclusively.His permanent status at the position may end at any moment, but for the moment Toppazzini is a right wing and enjoying the novel feeling.&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never paid much attention to such details.&rdquo; Observed the converted handyman, &ldquo;but it seems to me that I&rsquo;ve pluxed longer at one position this than at any time since I was with Hershey five years ago;&ldquo;Like it? Sure I like it, After all. I started out as a right wing when I was a kid. I&rsquo;ve always liked the position. And it&rsquo;s a lot easier to concentrate on playing one position than to have to think about playing a half-dozen<h2>Tabbed A Regular</h2>Toppazzini landed at right wing during the summer, when the Bruins were setting up their training squad on paper. He had been cast tentatively as a center earlier. Still ealier, last spring. Manager Lynn Patrick had tabbed him for regular work.&ldquo;He has improved so much in the past couple of years that I want him in the lineup someplace.&rdquo; related Patrick at the time. &lsquo;I&rsquo;m looking for goals, and I think liell scoreThe well-traveled natiye of Copper Cliff. Ontario, hasn&rsquo;t started like a ohallenger to Maurice Richard&rsquo;s records this fall, but his start was encouraging, at least to Patrick. Alter the Bruins&rsquo; first six games he owned three goals, two of which were dazzlers. On one. against Toronto.- he went most of the length of the Garden rink before faking goalie Ed Chadwick out of the building. On another, against Montreal, he faked Defenseman Tom Johnson to the ice. then fooled Goalie Jacques Plante. Patrick, who engaged Toppazzini&rsquo;s services for the Bruin originally on the strength of the young man&rsquo;s bubbling personality, chuckled over the goal against Montreal for days after ward.<h2>Has Own Methods</h2>&lsquo;Never have I seen anyone who can make fakes like (hat fellow,&rdquo; insisted the Bruins&rsquo; manager. &ldquo;Why, he has his own methods. I&rsquo;ve never seen anyone else like him.&ldquo;For years I&rsquo;ve been studying him and trying to figure out what gets him by the opposition. I know it isn&rsquo;t his speed, because he isn&rsquo;t that kind of skater. Maybe it&rsquo;s his stride.&ldquo;I know&rsquo; that when I&rsquo;ve ben out on the ice in practice end he has made a good rush, I&rsquo;ve had trouble trying to guess which way he&rsquo;ll cut. With Ghat crazy skating stride of his he looks like one leg is going one way. the other leg another way, a third leg a third way, a fourth leg another way, heck, he looks like an octopus.&rdquo;Toppazzini is in his second hitch with the Bruins. Before coming back late last winter he played for Chicago and Detroit. He&rsquo;s a belter player now than he was when he left. He&rsquo;s a better scorer, as he may prove this season.<h2>Shot Is Better</h2>&ldquo;My shot is better, that I know,&rdquo; agreed Jerry, &ldquo;and for that I can thank Gordie Howe. When I was with Detroit I made a point of watching his shooting. I found that he practiced a lot. and I copied his practice methods. &ldquo;I used to get out there with a pail of pucks like he did and shoot, shoot, shoot. I&rsquo;m sure all the practice has helped my shooting a great deal.Toppazzini&rsquo;s travels from one position to another over (he years have provided bright moments here. He played has first major league game at a position he had never played even ones previously in his life, left defense. Since then he has played all the other positions, sometimes as many as three in one game.Once the Bruins cut their training squad this fall Coach Milt Schmidt placed the erstwhile nomad at right wing on a line with.Larry Regan at eenter and Fleming Mackell at left wing. Now Regan used to be a right wing. Mackell a center and right wing and Toppazzini has been everything, so at times I he line&rsquo;s sortees down the ice have been a-bit hard to follow, but it has worked pretty well as a unit.Well enough, it might he added, to stay together until such lime, perhaps, as the occupant of right wing is needed elsewhere. Until that time Toppazzini can continue to become accustomed to the odd situation of knowing from one minute to the next where lie&rsquo;ll be playing, and with whom. &#9632;

Bruins’ Gerry Toppazzini Finally Finds His Niche As Prolific Right Winger

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div>CHICAGO, HI.&mdash;A Black Hawk and Glen Skov goal famine came to a close at Montreal October 18 with one flick of his stick by big &ldquo;Sam&rdquo; who in the same move was providing Chicago with its first point in National Hockey League ratings after three successive losses at the hands of Detroit, New York and Toronto.The famine for the team vent back to the Red Wing game that inaugurated the 195 6-57 schedule. Hank Ciesla had put the Hawks in the lead briefly with a quick counter at 2:29 of the opening period. This turned but to be Chicago&rsquo;s lone counter, however, in the first three games.It was a total of nearly 17S minutes of scoreless play for Tommy Ivan&rsquo;s Injuns going into the Canadian tussle and the famine advanced to over 231 consecutive minutes before Glen blinked the light behind Jacques Plante at 13:45 of the third frame to give the Hawks what turned out to be a 1-1 deadlock.<h2>Personal Triumph</h2>The score was of additional personal satisfac-satisfaction to Skov since he had been unable to dent the Habitant net fort since he was potting &rsquo;em as a Red Wing two years ago. Last season, &ldquo;Sam&rdquo; could register only three assists while playing in all 14 meetings between the teams.His tally may also indicate better things ahead in an offense vain for the lanky center who is recognized widely as one of the best back checkers and harassed down the middle. This was just the fourth game this year for Chicago and it took Skov until the 22nd last season to notch his No. 1 goal.The tact that he&rsquo;s never come through for a 20-goal campaign in the NHU however. hasn&rsquo;t kept him from being a valued member of the Detroit and then Chicago lineup. There were, in fact, some rather troubled grumblings when he was involved in a seven-skater swap that term-nated bln Red Wing availability.It was just a couple of months ago when Ted Lindsay. fiery Detroit left wing veteran, blamed the demise of the club before the surge of the Canadiens last year on the loss of Skov who has proven to be the best checker of big Jean Beliveau. Habstar, in anyone&rsquo;s lineup.Ivan will gladly agree with Lindsay&rsquo;s appraisal of Skov&rsquo;s value and it is therefore exttremely doubtful that likeable Glen will ever play outside of a Chicago uniform in the NHL. He is the prime example as Ivan stresses a switch to stronger defensive play in Hawk hockey. &#9632;

Centres Of Attraction

<div class="byline">By VINCE LUNNY</div>MONTREAL. Que.&mdash;Don Marshall, small, fast, shifty and as tricky as a burglar with a thousand tools, is one of those pleasingly competent players who help to make a hockey team a smoothly functioning machine.The National Hockey League must have players of Marshall&rsquo;s ilk, capable craftsmen doing their appointed chores, to provide the calibre of hockey the fans have come to expect.With the Stanley Cup champion Canadians, Marshall fills a utility role and fills it well, killing penalties, replacing injured players and occasionally being given the opportunity to realize his full potential as an offensive star in his own right.A man of modest mien, always on his mettle, Marshall accepts his unglamorous but important role as willingly as a fellow like goalie Jacques Plante who enjoys 6 0 minutes of action in each hair-rising game.Marshall&rsquo;s main job is killing penalties and. Statistics prove conclusively, he is without a peer in the league.&ldquo;With Marshall on the ice, the opposition counted less than 20 times against us last season said Coach Toe Blake. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s a fine record indeed. Don&rsquo;s job is a tough one and. perhaps, a lot more important than many tans realize.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-01276/1623970-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg" title="f0003-01" width="539" height="1104"><figcaption class="caption-body">No CabboDON MARSHALL</figcaption></div>&ldquo;We won many games by the narrow margin of single goal. Had we not survived power plays when short-handed, we would have had to settle for a division of the points. Add up all the points thus saved at the end of a 70-game season and you have an impressive total.&rdquo;<h2>MARSHALL, DONALD ROBERT</h2>Born, Verdon. P.Q., March 23. 1932Center. Shoots left. 5&rsquo;10&rsquo;, 160 lbs.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-02230/1623963-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="1173" height="361"></div><h2>No Great Gabbo</h2>Marshall, a clean cut kid and probably the quietest figure in the dressing room, never has much to say. Asked what he thought of his role with the Habs. he replied in well modulated tones: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a job and I feel that it&rsquo;s important because it helps the team. Saving a goal is equivalent to scoring one.&rdquo;In view of Blake&rsquo;s remarks he couldn&rsquo;t have expressed it better.The strange thing is that Marshall, a 2 4-year-old native of Verdun. Que., came into the National Hockey League highly touted as a great scoring threat after winning the Dudley Garrett Memorial Trophy with Buffalo in the American League.The trophy is awarded annually to the outstanding rookie and Marshall was the unanimous choice of the league&rsquo;s writers and sportcasters for the 1953-54 campaign. He polled 30 points, being mentioned first on every ballot.Marshall, promoted by the Canadiens from the Cincinnati Mohawks, scored two goals and acquired an assist in his first professional game with the Bisons. As the centre for Gaye Stewart and Eddie Slowinski, be never faltered, playing in all 70 games, scoring&rsquo; 39 goals and picking up 55 assists for a point total of 9 4.<h2>Poised and Polished</h2>Said Frank Eddolls, the Buffalo coach: &ldquo;Donnie is an exceptionally poised and polished youngster. He sets his wings up well, passes with equal facility to either aide, has a good shot, and a great knack for being in the right position all the time.&rdquo;After his great season with the Bisons, Marshall came up to the Habs in the Autumn of 1954. touted as the logical candidate to&rsquo; replace Elmer Lach, who had retired after a long and illustrious career.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0495/1623956-1-eng-US/f0003-042.jpg" title="f0003-04" width="1080" height="1851"><figcaption class="caption-body">Tops At His TradeDON MARSHALL</figcaption></div>But fate took a hand as it so often does in sport. In a practice game in the Verdun Auditorium, young Marshall col-Poised and Polished tided with Bucky Hollingworth an off-the-ice buddy, and suffered a hairline fracture of the tibia. Bitterly disappointed. Marshall found consolation only in the fact that two other Montreal stars. Maurice Richard and Jean Beliveau, had suffered broken bones in their rookie years and returned to action to achieve recognition as. Great playersTwo months later Don was back on skates and to regain his form lie was dispatched to the Royals of the Quebec Hockey League. In 10 games with the farm club. Donnie scored five goals and assisted on three others. Then fate entered the picture again.<h2>A Regular Non</h2>Jackie Leclair, who had won the regular centre spot with the Canadiens. Fell against Larry Cahan&rsquo;s skates in a game with the Maple Leafs at the Forum, and suffered a severe throat injury. Called up to fill the gap, Marshall has been with the Habs ever since, appearing in 66 games last season and in all 10 playoff encounters.What manner of man is Marshall? He&rsquo;s a mild, good natured chap who likes nothing better than to listen to good music, read good books and putter around his new home. A kind, considerate father, he gets a big kick out of his daughter, Susan.Marshall&rsquo;s favorite orchestra is Mantovanis and he finds peace and contentment listening to the smooth melodies after a strenuous game. His favourite girl vocalist is Doris Day and his favorite male vocalist is Perry Como. He&rsquo;d probably be one of Como&rsquo;s television fans but, unfortunately, the Como show is seen on Saturday nights when Marshall has pressing business at the Forum.A noted trencherman, Marshall wages a constant bailie to gain weight but has never been able to pur more than 165 pounds on his wiry five-foot-leu frame.<h2>In Good Condition</h2>&ldquo;I know I could stand more weight,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;But actually I feel in good condition and that&rsquo;s the important thing. A lot of guys, I smaller than me. have made good in the National League.&rdquo;Always before a game, Marshall enjoys a thick steak, tamped down with vast quantities of potatoes and vegetables and a. heaping helping of dessert. Ai. other limes, he&rsquo;ll try anything an The menu.&ldquo;Don is easy to cook for,&rdquo; said his wife, Betty, a stunning brunette. &ldquo;Oh, I couldn&rsquo;t say what his favorite food it. He has too many favorites. I guess he just likes to eat.When it comes to reading material. Don isn&rsquo;t hard to please either. On road trips he thumbs through a wide variety of magazines, reads both light and serious books and enjoys an occasional game of cards with his mates.<h2>Teams With Bnshe</h2>But back to hockey because no article on Marshall would be complete without a detailed reference to his role of penalty killer. Generally he is employed with the idefatigable Floyd Curry, sometimes with the wily Bert Olmstead.As Coach Toe Blake told THE HOCKEY NEWS a year ago, &ldquo;a successful penalty-killer combination requires a willing worker I and a man with puck sense. Curry is the worker, Marshall has the puck sense and I just send them out there without any particular instructions, except to work within the broad framework of our defensive strategy.&rdquo;Says Marshall: We try simply to stop the other club at its blueline, to hamper the attackers before ibev get a chance to organize the play. One of us tries to take the man with the puck, forcing him to pass or shoot so that we might get possession. The other acts more or less a&laquo; a floating interceptor, ready to help out anywhere defensively and prepared, at the same time, to take advantage of a breakaway pass.Donnie shines in the latter phase of the operation and in playoffs in the last two seasons he scored important goals while the Canadiens were shorthanded through penalties.In 1955 the Habs were leading Boston Bruins Iwo games to one with the crucial fourth game of the semi-final bracket being staged in Boston<h2>Crucial Goal</h2>With the score tied 3-3. the teams went into suddendeath overtime. A Boston goal would knot the series at two wins apiece; a Montreab goal would send the Habs borne with a chance to end the set at the Forum and advance into the final against the lied Wings.Marshall lost no time in setting the issue in his leap&rsquo;s favor. One minute after the overtime period got underway, big Butch Bouchard was thumbed to the penalty box. Thu Bruins tossed heir most potent sive arrlay over the boards and Canadiens countered with Marshall and Curiy and two de-? fence ma n.Just as the penalty to Bouchard expired, Rickie Moore emerged from the Montreal bench, trapped a Boston pass and relayed to Marshall. He dashed the length of the ice and blasted a sizzler behind Sugar Jim Henry. That was the game, victory being achieved by a chap who nkew exactly what to do when he had the opportunity.<h2>Set Off Splurge</h2>Last spring in the second game of the finals against Detroit. Marshall was summoned to kill a first period penalty with Bert Olmstead. The Picket got the puck, passed to Marshall and Donnie broke away. In a, play that almost duplicated the one in Boston, lie fired at the short side and the puck whizzed behind Glenn Hall, giving the Habs a lead they never relinquished as they coasted to a lop-sided 5-1 triumph.Despite his Verdun background Verdun is a suburb of Montreal &mdash; Marshall as a youngster idolized Syl Apps and aspired to a berth with the Toronto Maple Leafs.&ldquo;Playing on the outdoor rinks, I used to picture myself as a future Apps,&rdquo; Marshall recalled the other day. &ldquo;As a matter of fact, the only time 1 used to go in see the Canadiens was when the Leafs were in town.But it was an alert Canadien scout who first noticed Marshall and he began his career in the Monrreal farm system with the Baby Habs. There he gained All-Star recognition and was promoted to the Cincinnati Mohawks. With the Mohawks hewas selected as the leagues Most-Valuable Player, the outstanding rookie and the All-Star centre, pratically a sweep of available honors.A versatile athlete, Marshall at one time entertained thoughts of becoming a baseball player in the BrooklynDodger organization. While with a Verdun junior ball club, he made the All-Star ream and earned an invitation to a Brooklyn - sponsored tryout school at the Montreal stadium.He was selected by scout Al Campanis to play in a two-game series in Ebbets Field against the Brooklyn Stars. He sparkled afield, laced a double Off the right field wall and so impressed the Dodger brass that he was offered a contraci with one Of Brooklyn&rsquo;s minor league affiliates.Don thought it over and decided to stick to hockey. None will say that his choice wasn&rsquo;t a wise one. &#9632;

Oatman&rsquo;s scoring effort was no fluke; the chunky sub left winger was making just another rush towards the Canuek net and he shot as he reached the defence. Hainsworth blocked the drive but the puck bounded straight out again. Oatman kept on coming, barged through the redshirt&rsquo;s defence, picked up the loose disc, and slammed it into the twine before Hainsworth could make a move.Just as Oatman&rsquo;s stick met the puck, the two Canadian defencemen closed in. Oatman&rsquo;s stick was broken in two by the impact, but it was broken too late.&rdquo;Do you remember in those days that.all players were shown in the line-up as subs? Except the six regulars? In the first period of that same game Oatman was given a penalty along with Morenz and Ward. In other words Russ was playing on the 3rd line during the entire game.Naturally there are a few of us who enjoy reading about the real Old Timers of Hockey and of the games of away back &mdash; on many occasion it brings out the old scrap-book as it did with me on this occasion.I am a brother of Russ Oatman&rsquo;s and of course of Eddie&rsquo;s. Russ is now living in Toronto and Eddie is in Minneapolis. Both are in good health and read THE HOCKEY NEWS.E. Ross OatmanKelowna. B.C.<h2>Congratulations</h2>Dear Sirs,I&rsquo;d like to congratulate you on the unusually fine article on the last page of this week&rsquo;s HOCKEY NEWS, concerning the job Ken Wilson has done with the Troy. Ohio hockey club.Even as a native Cincinnatian with true-blue allegiance, I can appreciate how much Ken has done for the sport in our area, daring to do things that the more conservative big businessmen shy away from. An apt comparison which was not included in Mr. French&rsquo;s article might have been the total gate receipts for a season in Troy as against the same season&rsquo;s take in Cincinnati, a city 50 times its size. Frankly, it&rsquo;s appalling. But thank you VERY much for so extensive an article, and for having a different and perhaps more liberal-mindreporter for the IHL news.I should also like to add one comment about the article on Connie Broden (an ex-Mohawk) in which you mentioned that a Goyette - Broden Royals - Cats switch is being considered. Although I realize that this is not an important factor to the management, the Irish-background issue is not as clearly defined as you state: Phil Goyette&rsquo;s name might be French, but he is half Irish, as one look at his eyes will tell you. and furthermore, Phil&rsquo;s hair is also constant disarray. (Phil is likewise an ex-Mohawk, of slightly more recent vintage.)Congratulations on the paper in general &hellip; and this last issue was one of the most interesting I have ever read. Keep up the good work!I personally hope that Phil Goyette is NOT the price Royals have to pay for Broden: it would be a shame to split up Goyette and Denis Boucher, a pair which, has functioned so well together for several years, although their other wing, Barry Thorndycraft. has left hockey.Mary Lou MarksPoughkeepsie, N.Y &#9632;

THE FAN FORUM

<div class="byline">By Dink Carroll</div>(Montreal Gazette)<h2>Bruins Scout Leafs And Habs</h2>Lynn Patrick, manager of the Boston Bruins, was here ahead of his players the last trip in. They played here three nights later but they had been on an extended road trip and didn&rsquo;t go home because they couldn&rsquo;t get ice in Boston Garden. One of the ice shows was there.&ldquo;Our guys will watch Toronto play Canadiens,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Maybe they can spot a few weaknesses. The old Rangers used to attend all the Americans&rsquo; games in New York against the other NHL teams.&rdquo;The Toronto Leafs have played the Bruins twice thus far, once in Toronto and once in Boston.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-01368/1624191-1-eng-US/f0006-012.jpg" title="f0006-01" width="285" height="459"><figcaption class="caption-body">Lynn Patrick</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-02252/1624184-1-eng-US/f0006-022.jpg" title="f0006-02" width="286" height="440"><figcaption class="caption-body">Maurice Richard</figcaption></div>&ldquo;The Leafs have always put on a good show in their own rink,&rsquo; he said &ldquo;though they haven&rsquo;t always been an attractive club to watch on the road. But they are playing a different type of hockey away from home this season. They played wideopen hockey against us in Boston and it was quite a game. Wound up in a 4-4 tie.&rdquo;The Bruins didn&rsquo;t look very impressive dropping a 3-0 decision to the Canadiens in the opening game here, but they beat the Habitants 3-1 in Boston the very next night.&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t see the first game here? but I saw the second one at home.&rdquo; said Lynn. &ldquo;The Canadiens couldn&rsquo;t get going in the first two periods, but they got untracked in the third and gave us a scare. Big Beliveau and the Rocket and Boom Boom were tearing in over our our blue line and doing some heavy firing. We couldn&rsquo;t get out of our own end of the rink.&ldquo;It reminded me of something Crawford said years ago after we&rsquo;d been beaten 7-0 by a great Detroit team. He was standing in the shower and he said. &lsquo;Detroit plays a funny style ot hockey. They won&rsquo;t let you have the puck&rsquo;.&rdquo;<h2>A Good Thing to Get a Scare</h2>Lynn says he stayed right to the end of the game the Canadiens played in Boston, an allusion to the heart attack he suffered last summer.&ldquo;Some doctors say it&rsquo;s a good thing to get a scare like that.&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a warning that you&rsquo;ll heed. When; you&rsquo;re 40 you can&rsquo;t do the things you could do when you were 20. but most guys don&rsquo;t know it. I know it. now.&rsquo; When I was lying in that hospital bed,&rsquo;looking out the window, I told myself if I ever got out of there I&rsquo;d never worry about anything again.Since age had been mentioned, Lynn wondered out loud how much longer Roeket Richard can go at top speed.&ldquo;I know Bill Cook led the league in scoring at the age of 37,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;but I also know that when I was in the American Army during the war 35 meant something. They separated the guys who were 35 and over from the rest of us and wouldn&rsquo;t put them through the same strenuous training.&ldquo;Of. course, the Rocket doesn&rsquo;t do much backchecking. Maybe he doesn&rsquo;t have to because his cover is out there to keep him from scoring. If you leave him alone-for a minute he&rsquo;s apt to put the puck in the net.&ldquo;I remember a night early in my career with the Rangers when I was sent out to cover Charlie Conacher. Late in the game he said, &rsquo;Go get yourself a goal, kid! I won&rsquo;t bother you&rdquo; I didn&rsquo;t fall for it. 1 knew I could have three shots on goal and not score, and that he could have one and score.&rdquo;You gather from his conversation that he thinks the Bruins can finish as high as third this season.&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think Toronto is going to give us much trouble and 1 think we can beat the Rangers.&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;They were lucky last season. They only had two players hurt Popein arid Ron Murphy. They got all the breaks.&rdquo;<h2>He Rates Doug Mohns an All-Star</h2>The Bruins have moved Doug Mohns from the wing back to defense this year. How was the experiment working out?&ldquo;Very well.&rdquo; answered Lynn. &ldquo;So well that I think he&rsquo;ll make an All-Star team. Maybe not the first, but the second. He&rsquo;s leading all the defensemen right now in points and he&rsquo;s very quick in our own defensive zone. He&rsquo;s so quick he can make a mistake and then cover up.&rdquo;The Bruins used to have goalie trouble, but you hear no more about it since they acquired Terry Sawchuk from the Detroit Red Wings. How important is a goalkeeper to a team?&ldquo;Oh. he&rsquo;s important all right.&rdquo; Lynn said, &ldquo;but maybe not as important as some people think. A good team with a mediocre goalkeeper will sometimes win the championship. A mediocre team with a good goalkeeper will never win it.&ldquo;A good defense can make a so-so goalkeeper look better than he is. Of course, the defense needs help from the forwards. They&rsquo;ve got to backcheck. You could have Doug Harvey and Red Kelly on defense and if three forwards were sweeping in on them they wouldn&rsquo;t be able to prevent a shot on goal more than once in five times.&rdquo;It&rsquo;s when a good defenseman has only one man to check that he can be of real help to a, netminder.&ldquo;Take a defenseman like Harvey. He can always force a puck-carrier off to the side, usually to the puck-carrier&rsquo;s beck-hand. If the guy gets a shot away, it&rsquo;s usually a backhander front an angle. The chances are the shot will be off the net. Even it it is on fche net. it will he easy for the goalkeeper to handle. You know, the Canadiens could be in real trouble if anything happened to Harvey.&rdquo;What makes a forward line click? According to Lynn, you need. a number of different elements to give it balance.&ldquo;You need a guy who can score and a guy who can make plays and a guy who can backcheck.&rdquo; he pointed out. &ldquo;There were guys on two fine lines I&rsquo;m thinking of right now who were strictly defensive hockey players. Mac Colville was one on the line with Alex Shibicky and Neil Colville. Gord Davidson was the other on the line with Syl Apps and Gordie Drillon. You re lucky when you get them together. &#9632;

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0007-02" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02286/1624308-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">Proud WarriorED SANDFORD</figcaption></div>CHICAGO, Ill&mdash;A lanky product of St. Michaels college in Toronto last month displayed the same honesty and sincerety that he had always shown on the ice in announcing that he had decided on retirement rather than the start of a minor league career at the age of 28.The verdict was undoubtedly one of the toughest big Ed Sandford had ever been forced to make, but he reached it within moments after Black Hawk General Manager Tommy Ivan had confided in private, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry, Ed, but you just don&rsquo;t fit into our plans for this year.&rdquo;&ldquo;Sandy&rdquo; packed his skates and suitcase and quietly hopped a train for his Boston area home near the close of the training camp Chicago had been conducting at St. Catherines, Ont. He had tried as best as he could to make the Hawk squad, but found that this wasn&rsquo;t quite enough.That Sandford never became a great hockey player is somewhat of a tragedy since he was a very smart skater with much more than average spirit. He was unfortunately plagued by an almost continuous procession of injuries that left him with a rather unpredictable set of lower limbs.During only one of his nine years in the National League, from whence he jumped directly from St. Mikes in 1947-48, did he elude the injury bug to play the full schedule. This was the campaign with Boston and proved to be his best scoring year. He nabbed 16 goals and 31 assists for 4 7 points.<h2>Played 500 Games</h2>NHL records reveal that &ldquo;Sandy&rdquo; took part in an even 500 regular season games out of a possible 610. Splitting his time between left wing and center after becoming a pro the uias he proved a steady&rsquo; performer and had become captain of the team when he departed after the 1954-55 season.Sandford&rsquo;s move to Detroit Was a part of the trade that I brought Terry Sawchuk to the Bruins. Like a number of others who have gone to the Red Wings from other NHL clubs, however, Ed could not catch on with the Motor City crew and subsequently he was dealt to the Hawks for Metro Prystai, about a year ago.He. immediately seemed to benefit from the change, but found the Chicago lineup rather set with the result that he could only be fitted into play whenever Coach Dick Irvin saw the chance. Even under such an arrangement,Ed managed to collect a total of 12 goals.<h2>Praised By Irvin.</h2>When the 1955-56 schedule came to an end with the Ilawks again on the bottom, Irvin took time to inake a closer study of thing and observed. &ldquo;You know, that Sandford was one&rsquo; of our better men when you consider what he did in the little bit of time that he was on the ice.&rdquo;Until Ivan was able to cbine through with the several notable deals this Summer he accomplished it appeared that &ldquo;Sandy&rdquo; might well snag one of the top forwards spots with the 1956-57 edition of the club. When training camp opened in September, however, the amount of big league talent was overflowing.By no means discouraged; Sandford went right ahead and gave his best and all until he learned from Ivan just how things stood. &ldquo;Well. I guess this will be the end of the line for me then,&rdquo; he remarked. Disappointed, yes. but still in strong possession of that admirable quality of sincerity that marked him as a true big leaguer all the way. &#9632;

Ed Sandford Never Hesitated Over Decision To Quit Hockey

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;There was plenty of meat at the opening luncheon of the New York Hockey Writer&rsquo;s Assn. Nice, juicy quotes, the kind every scribe likes to sink his teeth into. Needless to say, the tasty (andsomewhat testy) comments were served by the chef darrogance, Phil Watson.As volatile as ever, Watson released his quota demand, sniped at goalie Lorne Worsley, reiterated his &ldquo;anti-bar&rdquo; ultimatum, inferred that he wasn&rsquo;t strict enough and challenged the courage of Jean Beliveau.&ldquo;I want 235 goals,&rdquo; boomed Watson who last year demanded and received 204. &ldquo;I know it&rsquo;s more than the Canadiens scored last year but it can be done. And it&rsquo;s simple when you break it down. For the money were paying the players it&rsquo;s not too much to ask.&ldquo;From Andy Bathgate, Dean Prentice, Danny Lewicki and Andy Hebenton I want 25 goals each. We play 14 games with each team. I expect three from each at home and seven goals on the road.&ldquo;Dave Creighton, Ron Murphy and Red Sullivan should produce 20 goals each. I want two goals against every club on the road and two at home. As far Larry Popein, Bronco Horvath, Guy Gendron, Camille Henry and Gerry Foley, I&rsquo;ll take 15 goals apiece, two at home and one on I the road.&rdquo;Aware that the Blues&rsquo; sore spot last year was their defense, Phil has advised his backliners to cut down on the rushing and protect Worsley.&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll settle for 185 goals against,&rdquo; shouted Watson. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s compared with 203 last season.&rdquo;He added that he expects the team to reach 8 5 points in the standings (last year they hit 74) of which 5 5 should come from home games.<h2>Carried Away</h2>Once involved in his subject Watson got carried away, figuratively speaking, and some of his statements drew double-takes.&ldquo;I will allow one loss and one tie against each team at home. You know, one when the referee is looking out the window or one they take from us when we&rsquo;re not looking. I&rsquo;ll settle for nothing less than six points out of every 14 we can get on the road.&rdquo;Watson isn&rsquo;t aiming at any particular position in the standings. At least that&rsquo;s what he tells reporters. He believes that 85 points is his goal and that should provide a comfortable playoff spot.Extremely frugal in his praise of Worsley, even on the goalie&rsquo;s best nights, Watson was extravagant in his needling of the little man.<h2>Kept On His Toes</h2>&ldquo;Worsley was not our best goaltender at training camp&rdquo;, said Phil. &ldquo;Marcel Faille (Now at Cleveland but still Ranger-owned) was better and Gump knew it. I&rsquo;m glad because it made him a little worried and will keep him on his toes.&rdquo;Explaining his psychology still further Watson said, &ldquo;If I tell I he writers Worsley is good today, he&rsquo;ll read it in the papers tomorrow and play lousy in the next. game.&ldquo;Last year Worsley received a heavy vote for the first-half All-Star-team. Then what happens, we take a nose dive. That was not the team&rsquo;s fault, it was Worsley who had a miserable second half.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02289/1624353-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="536" height="1006"><figcaption class="caption-body">Worried?GUMP WORSLEY</figcaption></div>Pehdps it is significant that Watson made no mention of the fact that Worsley was plagued by a knee injury during the second half of the schedule. It has since been repaired.<h2>Ban on Bars</h2>Regarding players caught drinking in bars, Watson sang virtually the same tune as last year. &ldquo;From now on, there will be a $100 fine for any player seen in a bar &mdash; even if he&rsquo;s there only for a phone call. I don&rsquo;t want to know what he&rsquo;s doing there. I just don&rsquo;t want him there.&rdquo;Phil then repeated the jist of his philosophy toward hockey players:&ldquo;I just have to harp on them all the time. I have to be on their necks continually. Otherwise, they won&rsquo;t succeed.&rdquo;Regarding train departure: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been too lenient about reporting to trains. We took an 11.25 p.m. train to Montreal and I figured it was okay to let the fellows get on as late as 11.10 or 11.15. But Muzz Patrick criticized me. He said it was a mistake &mdash; that I should make them get on by 11 o&rsquo;clock. And that&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;re going to do from now on.&rdquo;&ldquo;Operation Beliveau&rdquo; was ordered after the large Montreal center reportedly maltreated Red Sullivan at the Forum.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01352/1624346-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="843" height="1100"><figcaption class="caption-body">In Fine FormPHIL WATSON</figcaption></div><h2>A Dirty Trick</h2>&ldquo;Gerry Foley and Bert Olmstead were fighting a good fair fight,&rdquo; Watson explained, &ldquo;when all of a sudden that big, brave Beliveau (6-3, 210 pounds) picks on Sullivan, one of our smallest men I (5-11, 16 0 pounds).&ldquo;Beliveau didn&rsquo;t knock Sulli van to the ice. He put him there from behind. And then, when Sullivan was down and Beliveau on top of him, the big Frenchman starts slugging him. The crowd hollers for blood and the more they holler, the more Beliveau slugs.&ldquo;It was a pretty dirty trick on Beliveau&rsquo;s part. I was surprised and disappointed. It&rsquo;s the first time I&rsquo;ve ever seen him do anything like that, and I&rsquo;ve seen him in junior and senior hockey as well as in this league.&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not going to let him get away with it. Someone, sometime is going to take care of him. He&rsquo;ll learn.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03223/1624339-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="541" height="1121"><figcaption class="caption-body">After BrawlRED SULLIVAN</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Gump Worsley Feels Full Sting Of Coach Phil Watson’s Needle

<div class="byline">By VINCE LUNNY</div>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;-The first feud of the new season seems to be shaping up between the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers. So far the Rangers are doing most of the fendin&rdquo; and the fussin&rsquo; but their barks appear worse than their bitesIt all developed when fiery Phil Watson, coach of the Blues, who is never at a loss for words in wholesale lots, told a New York hockey writer that the Habs&rsquo; Jean Beliveau would be &ldquo;taken care of.&rdquo;He accused Beliveau of unsportsmanlike conduct in a game in Montreal and said, &ldquo;we&rsquo;re not going to let him get away with it. Someone is going to take care of him in our next game. He&rsquo;ll learn.&rdquo;Actually what did happen in the game in Montreal? Well, Beliveau, who stands six-foot-three and tips the scales at better than 200 pounds, became involved in a slugging affray with scrappy little Red Sullivan, five-foot-eleven and weighing 160.It was a decided over-match and Beliveau gave his rival an artistic pasting, leaving his face like a piece of freshly ground raw beef. Who started the fight? It seemed to be a spontaneous eruption. Sullivan, unfortunately, showed lack of judgment in pairing off with a man who outweighed him by more than 40 pounds and outreached him by several inches.<h2>Habs Aloof</h2>While Watson was popping off for the benefit of the New York writers, Canadiens remained aloof.&ldquo;The Habs aren&rsquo;t interested in rough hockey,&rdquo; said a club spokesman. &ldquo;We just try to play the game and give the fans wide open performances.&rdquo;The only worthwhile quote was attributed to Coach Toe Blake.&ldquo;Watson is a game guy,&rdquo; Elmer Ferguson quoted Blake as saying in The Herald. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s game like those fight managers who tell their tigers: he can&rsquo;t hurt us.&rsquo; Watson was a troublestarter when he played hockey. But. I don&rsquo;t recall that he ever finished anything he started.&rdquo;Later, after the Rangers had nipped the Habs 3-2 in New York on a rarely seen penalty shot, cashed by winger Danny Lewicki, Watson admitted his outburst but confesed sheepishly, &ldquo;I really shouldn&rsquo;t have said it. Actually we weren&rsquo;t out to get Beliveau. We simply wanted to win the game.&rdquo;Watson was right. He shouldn&rsquo;t have made such remarks. What if Beliveau had been hurt in the game? His antagonist might have found himself in hot water. He could plead &ldquo;accident&rdquo; but Watson&rsquo;s words would be evidence of intent.<h2>Will Be Forgotten</h2>The clubs don&rsquo;t clash again until Nov. 8 in Montreal. By that time, unless Watson keeps adding fuel to the fire, the whole affair probably will simmer down to nothing.For the game in New York the Canadiens had Gerry McNeil in the nets. Summoned to fill the breach when Jacques Plante suffered an acute bronchial attack, McNeil was making his first appearance in an NHL game since the playoffs of 195 4.Regular netminder with the Royals of the Quebec Hockey League, McNeil was yanked from a train minutes before it left for Chicoutimi. He went home, rested and then took a later train to New York.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-04167/1624384-1-eng-US/f0008-042.jpg" title="f0008-04" width="543" height="1170"><figcaption class="caption-body">ReplacementGERRY McNEIL</figcaption></div>With the Habs for five years, McNeil quit abruptly in the Fall of 1954 when Dick Irvin, then coach, said he would have to fight for the job. McNeil had allowed only three goals in three games in the Stanley Cup playoffs that spring.<h2>Made Comeback</h2>He remained out of hockey for a full year, confining his activities to running a gas station, but made a comeback with the Royals in 1955-56, winning the QHL&rsquo;s Vezina Trophy.Against the Rangers he was beaten three times &mdash; once on the penalty shot, once on a breakaway and once while the Habs were shorthanded.The Canadiens. Defending Stanley Cup champions, started the season with a set squad but, with the campaign only three weeks old, McNeil was the fourth man to be called up from the farm clubs.First Ralph Backstrom was hoisted from the junior Habs to fill a centre slot left vacant by an injury to young Henri Richard. Then along came Guy Rousseau. a stocky, lightweight winger from the Royals, and Gerry Wilson, a shifty pivot from the Ottawa Canadiens.With Maurice Richard and Bernie Geoffrion suffering elbow injuries and Floyd Curry nursing bruised ribs, they were needed to bring the forward divisions up to strength.The Montrealers, after five games, were exactly even-steven with their rivals, although holding a wide edge in goals for and against &mdash; 12 for the Canadiens; seven for their rivals.They defeated the Rangers in Montreal and lost in New York. They beat the Bruins in Montreal and lost in Boston. And they played to a 1-1 tie with the Chicago Black Hawks at the Forum. &#9632;

Anyone wondering whether or not the so-called &ldquo;Sophomore Jinx&rdquo; has had any effect on the Toronto Maple Leafs&rsquo; starry left winger. Dick Duff, has merely to look at the individual scoring records for this season to see that, far from playing below freshman form, the young sniper is leading the National Hockey League in goals scored with five to date.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-03268/1624460-1-eng-US/f0009-032.jpg" title="f0009-03" width="268" height="437"><figcaption class="caption-body">Dick Duff</figcaption></div>This post week, young Duff, one-third of the Leafs&rsquo; Life Line, scored three goals, one a game winner, one the first goal of a game and the other an &lsquo;insurance&rsquo; marker.On October 25. the Mapleos shaded the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 at the Forum, with Duff supplying the winning margin with a third period tallyTwo nights later, back in the friendly confines of Maple Leaf Gardens, Duff got the Leafs well on the way to an eventual 5-2 victory over the Chicago Black Hawks by scoring the initial marker of the game and adding the Leafs&rsquo; fifth goal of the game.Sophomore Jinx Dick Duffs never heard of it ! &#9632;

Player-of-the-Week

<div class="byline">By JACK HORRIGAN</div>BUFFALO, N.Y.&mdash;One-Minute Interview with Fred Hunt The Buffalo General Manager is of the opinion that a couple of National League clubs missed a &ldquo;good gamble&rdquo; when they didn&rsquo;t draft Hershey Right Winger Dune Fisher last summer.&ldquo;Oh, I know that Fisher has been up before. I knowall about his size and that he is 28-years-old. But he&rsquo;s a real good goal scorer &hellip; better at picking those corners than when he came down from Boston the last time.

Sophomore Al Nicholson Sets Goal Scoring Pace For Bears

<div class="byline">By GEORGE P. DUFFY</div>PROVIDENCE, RJ&mdash;The RJ. Reds&rsquo; publicity office is dressing up its hockey players. In photographs, that is. A little weary at the of tused observation &ldquo;My he&rsquo;s a brute&rdquo; when a fan looks at a hockey player&rsquo;s picture in full hockey regalia, the Reds&rsquo; publicity department decided to do something about it.After a consolation between General Manager Terry Reardon and the publicists, it was decided to &ldquo;shoot&rdquo; all the players in blue sport coats, ties of varied descriptions and sport pants.Captain Andy Branigan, who dresses like a Fifth Avenue business executive, went for the idea of having his picture snapped in civvies. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s more like it&rdquo; he remarked &ldquo;After all, with all those pads and hockey stuff on we ain&rsquo;t so pretty.&rdquo; He smiled but was dead serious.Since Captain Andy and his mates approved of &ldquo;Operation Sport Coat&rdquo;, the plan has become a reality. The Arena program, &ldquo;The Sportslight&rdquo;, now carries pictures of the Providence players all dressed up. Newspapers and TV stations in the area are featuring Reds&rsquo; players all spruced up.It has proven popular with those fans in the stands. Lynn Trimble, a newspaper worker and a rabid hockey fan. Expressed her feelings nicely. &ldquo;We have been seeing the players in uniforms for a long while. But after the game only a lucky few ever get to see the husky hunks of manhood all dressed up. Now we all can visualize what the players look like off the ice.&rdquo;Coach Jack Crawford, a man who likes to see his athletes, dressed in sport coats and pants plus sports shirts (with or without tie) when heading out on a road trip, posed along with Reardon. Possessed of a quantity of humor, Crawford remarked that &ldquo;this could mean Hollywood for some of us better lookers.&rdquo;The scene at the &ldquo;mugging&rdquo; was unlike the usual session with the photog. No sticks, no big bulky pads, not even any skate. Instead it was like a portrait studio with lines such a &ldquo;adjust your tie Bartlett: lean forward Bower; take off the glasses Aldo&rdquo; being spoken by the cameraman.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-04192/1624560-1-eng-US/f0010-042.jpg" title="f0010-04" width="538" height="1160"><figcaption class="caption-body">ExampleJIM BARTLETT</figcaption></div>&ldquo;Operation Sport Coat&rdquo; seeme to have suceeded although it definitely won&rsquo;t put pictures of players in uniforms out of existence.

B.C.&mdash;The astounding feature of the Western Hockey League&rsquo;s early skirmishes came from the most unlikely fronts of all &mdash; Brandon on the one end and Seattle on the other.As this was written the Regals led the Prairie Division and Keith Allen&rsquo;s Americans the Coast Division.That may have changed even now. No matter. That these sophomores in professionalhockey&rsquo;s second biggest biggest top could achieve such distinction, even fleetingly, warrants a probe from the charter members.Don Raleigh seems responsible in Brandon.Last spring the erstwhile &ldquo;Bones&rdquo; of New York&rsquo;s National League Rangers claimed to have rattled for the last time.&ldquo;I guess I&rsquo;ve had it,&rdquo; Raleigh confided to the Winnipeg Tribune&rsquo;s Vince Leah, who had schooled Raleigh in hockey&rsquo;s rudiments on the open-air rinks of Winnipeg&rsquo;s minor chain. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m too old to start all over again.&rdquo;<h2>A Coach Now</h2>Yet in one sense that is exactly what Donald has done. He toiled with the defunct Brandon juniors afterhis first schoolboy term with New York, and there he is again, coaching and playing and personally inspiring Brandon to improbable deeds.Hockey&rsquo;s happiest helpmate is a warm summer. More valuable proponents of the winter way of life have retired in be springtime. only to un-retire at the first sound of an autumn blade on ice, than there are old soldiers. in fact the analogy fits.It may prove to be Brandon&rsquo;s source of concern as. the battle unfolds. Their present stanchions are Raleigh and goalie Lucien Dechene, neither really damp around the ears.They have several aggressive aemi-veterans like Elliott Chorley. Murray Wilkie and Les Lilley. They have a will and, so far, have found a way.<h2>Lined Up With N.Y.</h2>The most prominent point in their favor is Raleigh&rsquo;s connection with New York, a vital reason for his presence in the first place. Regals may need a transfusion before the winter maiures.With Rangers in their corner they have blue blood in the bank.Seattle&rsquo;s high estate is also attributable to Brandon, that curious Manitoba hamlet which is teh smallest&rsquo;centre in professional hockey.The Americans replaced Rochester-bound Billy Reay with defenseman Keith Allen from Brandon. Whatever happens now, Seattle never started better.<h2>Win At Home</h2>Allen&rsquo;s most endearing quality has been the ability to win at home. His lineup draws stability from such veterans as goalie Emile (The Cat) Francis, Pat Coburn, Gordon Sinclair, Rudy Filion, Barton Bradley and Eager Eddie Dorphoy.He also has the early-season Goal-Dust Twins in Guyle Fielder and Ray Kinasewich.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-02272/1624636-1-eng-US/f0012-022.jpg" title="f0012-02" width="494" height="804"><figcaption class="caption-body">Mr. PerfectionGUYLE FIELDER</figcaption></div>When it comes to latent on the hoof the slender black thatched Fielder may be the best center out of NHL captivity. If he has a fault it is his urge to make each play perfect.This has not distressed Kinasewich appreciably. After six. games the pair shared I be individual scoring lead with 18 points apiece.Kinasewich had scored eight goals. In 40 games with Edmonton last year this instinctively sound, positional wingman of 23 scored 16 goals.Dismissing the improvement with a finger on Fielder would be to miss the point. Fielder makes the plays, but nothing frustrates the impulse like having them bungled. Kinasewich has gone out of his way to maintain Fielder&rsquo;s peace of mind.How long will it last?Not even Fielder of Kinasewich knows that.Not even Seattle of Brandou &#9632;

Regals And Americans Surprise By Grabbing WHL Section Leads

LONDON. England.&mdash;Seven thousand fans yelled their heads off at the re-opening of Harringay Arena tor the 1056-57 season on October 20.Brighton Tigers, early season favourites to cop; the honours, beat out the: local Racers 5-2 in a stor-my turbulent game in which Brighton goaltender Tony Parisi had to take? refuge in his net from? fireworks thrown by home supporters.Referees Leacock and Clancy handed out twenty penalties with Tigers scoring four times when the: home team was shorthanded.Man of the match was Joe Connors who picked up a neat hat-trick for Tigers but there was hope for Racers in a four-star; performance from Bill Robinson. The former Ottawa Senator, a rookie in the British League at the age of 34, served notice that he&rsquo;s going to be one of the smartest centres in loop.But Vic Howe, younger: brother of Detroit&rsquo;s Gordie and last year with Nelson, and Dave Trainor, former Winnipeg Monarch, looked as if the, pace was a bit too fast for them.Phil DRACKETT &#9632;

British League Underway With Tigers On Top

VANCOUVER, B.C.&mdash;Some athletes symbolize any team they represent and just as you visualize Jackie Parker when you speak of the Edmonton football club, you cannot think of Seattle Americans without evoking an image of Eddie Dorohoy.For one thing. Eddie wouldn&rsquo;t like it. When Eddie happened to the Western Hockey League in 1949 he was only 20 and. by his own 4.000-word admission &ldquo;wasn&rsquo;t as good as 1 am now.&rdquo;He had been good enough to start a season with Montreal of the National League but happily he continued west, which is why be will play here every year.&ldquo;Montreal didn&rsquo;t have much of a club that year anyway.&rdquo; Eddie says now. Reports of his departure preceded him. for he lias never ben accused of silence.But Eddie takes two things seriously: hockey is the other one. What would you do if you knew Dick Irvin was deploying his troops improperly? If you were Eddie Dorohoy, who had learned some things in his 19 years, you would take the coach aside and feed him the facts.<h2>Helped Coach</h2>&ldquo;Richard ain&rsquo;t right for that line,&rdquo; Eddie is said to have told Irvin, while both watched the Rocket score his fourth goal in practice. &ldquo;See? Got the puck too fate. Was this going on last year?&rdquo;Irvin nodded sombrely while checking his schedule for outgoing trains to Dallas, the Canadien farm in those days. But a man has to say what he has to say. and Eddie consoled himself with that as he tried to fit his lean frame into an upper berth on that trip down.Since then Eddie has been one of the best hockey players the Western League has seen lotseven straight seasons, which is a curious sidelight to his story. He is an athletic phenomenon. No player brings more to the game than Eddie, but most of them have less after it.&ldquo;Some guys use moods to work themselves up for a game, he says philosophically. &ldquo;I talk.&rdquo; Among his other attributes. Eddie is dead-honest.<h2>Odds Hopeless?</h2>When he moved to Seattle last year after six seasons at Victoria he promptly dedicated himself to selling hockey to the football-basketball capital of the U.S. northwest, the odds are hopeless, but Seattle doesn&rsquo;t know it yet.&ldquo;I meet these guys on the street and what&rsquo;re they talking?&rdquo; Eddie asks rhetorically Football, is what. Their university team is this and that. Their university team is for the sparrows, 1 tell &rsquo;em.&ldquo;When I played football. I say. I could throw a loot bull 50 yards and if the wind is right I can run up and catch it.&ldquo;So?&rsquo; one guy tells me. &lsquo;We got a quarterback can throw 50 yards.&rsquo; Real smug he is.&ldquo;I say: Either hand?

WESTERN LEAGUE

<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01350/1624788-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg" title="f0014-01" width="292" height="307"></div>TO HEAR GEORGE SLATER, the loop&rsquo;s prexy, tell it the Quebec Hockey League is now settling down for one of the best seasons since the boom days of Jean Beliveau and the Quebec Aces.When big Jean was roaring down the ice lanes like a Diesel locomotive in the 1951-52 and 1952-53 campaigns the loop drew well over a million fans to its scheduled and playoff games&mdash;1,107,292 and 1,217,617 are the exact figures. Beliveau, the greatest individual star ever to adorn the circuit, was of course the big magnet.Yet the league traces its most drastic decline attendance-wise to defection of Ottawa Senators. On Dec. 22, 1954, the Senators, a mighty power and a big attraction for. 20 years, suspended operations. The league&rsquo;s strength was thus reduced to five teams. What caused the knockout blow was that this unbalance sharply cut the Sunday dates.For a season and half the loop staggered along that way Thus in 1954-55, total admissions dipped to 521,669. Last season there were 424,159 customers for scheduled games and 91.839 for the playoffs, making an aggregate 512.298.Ten more Sunday bookings are made possible in the campaign how underway through the entry of the Ottawa Canadiens. With their reinforcement of four overage players and pros, the Combines from the National Capital and the Royals diew 4,056 to the Forum on Oct 21, a beautiful Indian Summer Day which lured thousands of motorists to the open road. What&rsquo;s more, Slater points out, at Trois-Rivieres the rafters creaked when more than 4,000 crammed the rink to see the Lions claw the Cataracts.&ldquo;This was the largest crowd the Trois-Rivieres team has attracted in the two seasons since the club replaced Valleyfield Braves in our league,&rdquo; says Slater.&ldquo;All six clubs in the QHL are better balanced, have sound financing and sensible administration at the top level. Good business has been reported from Quebec and Chicoutimi&mdash;two weak spots the past few years&mdash;and there are definite signs of a developing revival in Montreal So I think we have reasonable grounds for optimism,&rdquo; he added.When he bought defenseman Bingo Ernest outright rom Quebec Aces. Frank Selke generalmanager of Canadians&rsquo; wide hockey organization said: &ldquo;Rochester-Americans needed such a player as Ernest who plays hard and is rugged in think he&rsquo;ll fit very well into Billy Reay&rsquo;s club because I believe that Ernst is well suited to the American League style of play.&rdquo;Bingo served a four-year hitch with Valleyfield. When the Braves suspsended operations and their players were devided around the loop. Royals took Jacques Deslauriers, Aces got Bingo. Frank Carlin and Elmer Lach always figured they got the better of the shuffle of back-division talent, though Ernst has played a lot of good hockey for Punch Imlach&rsquo;s brigade. &#9632;

Here&rsquo;s a man who approaches his chores with keen delight.Renauld talks about his players in most glowing terms, he has great confidence in the ultimate triumph of his beloved Sagueneens. In fact his fervour is almost dedicated, as if he has a silent motto which he churns over mentally four by hour:&ldquo;We are mighty and shall prevail&rdquo;.He&rsquo;s new to the Quebec League, as a coach that is, though he gave some years of fine service to Quebec Aces, and in his sojourn at the Ancient Capital was noted as a resolute blocker, a good steady man who either took the puck away from an incoming forward or else: upended the man who dared to trespass on his domain.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got great spirit on this club&rdquo; he said the other day when he brought his charges, into the Montreal Forum for a bout with the Royals.And you didn&rsquo;t need to look far for corroboration.<h2>Four Goal Blitz</h2>There was high hilarity four goal Blitz in the visiin the visitors&rsquo; dressing roomin the eastern corridor of Montreal&rsquo;s big icehouse. No wonder. Spirits were gay, the Chicks had just beaten Royals 6-2 wrapping up the spoils with a four goal blitz late in the third period.This operator had stepped in a corner for a word or three with Lou Smrke who had sat this one out. He was nursing a damaged shoulder.It was mentioned that things were running well with the Sagueneens. &ldquo;Sure&rdquo; said the elder of the Smrke freres. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got a good team and everyone is pulling together. This is a swell bunch One big happy family. It&rsquo;s all fun travelling around the Quebec circuit, and never even the slightest hint of dissension. How could there be when we have a guy like Phil to play for?&rdquo;Renauld didn&rsquo;t have it easy when he took over from Gerry Plamondon, who is now coaching at Cornwall, Ont. The Chicks lost top-drawer talent through the summer trades and drafts.Their great goalie, Marcel Paille, who won the Northey Trophy (Rookie-of-the-Year Award) last March, and high scoring centerman, Jimmy Moore were grabbed by Cleveland Barons. Glenn Cressman, who was a first year forward sensation, moved into Rochester with the new team launched in the Kodak capital by Billy Reay, under the auspices of Toronto Leafs and Montreal Canadiens. And Pete Taillefer was dealt to the Shawinigan Falls Cataracts.<h2>Brought In Goaler</h2>Renauld brought in Ray Frederick, from Calgary to replace the brilliant Paille in the nets. Frederick was with the Sags briefly in the QHL. In the 1953-54 season he racked up nine shutouts, tops that season in the loop.The back-division is very solid with such stalwarts as Gerry Glaude, George Roy, John Hanna and Rollie Rousseau. Rousseau was obtained from Royals when the Chicoutimi club&rsquo;s management was eager to get a &ldquo;big name&rdquo; to figure on its blue line brigade.Hanna, of Syrian descent, is one of the few players of such national antecedents in professional hockey.Of course it was essential that Renauld do some recruiting, and among the fresh talent is another defenseman Bob Chevalier, a starpping youngster, who came up from the flourishing Saguenay-Arvida Junior League along with a very promising left winger, Jean Marc Pichette.A big prize is Stan Baliuk, formerly with Kitchener in Junior OHA competition. He is regarded one of the hottest freshman prospects entering pro ranks.<h2>Touch Assignment</h2>In deploying his forwards coach Renaud planted Baliuk between the two experienced wingmen, Lou and Stan Smrke. This was Moore&rsquo;s old place, a tough assignment for the youngster.Pichette is at left wing on a second line centered by Del Topoll, playing his third season with the club, with Ross Watson on the starboard side. Montreal born Watson came up through Halifax. Cincinnati and Seattle teams. He worked with Billy Reay in the Pacific. Northwest last year.Regular Quebec League fans will hardly need to look twice to identify the Third line which packs stacks of experience. Fern Perreault, Grgig. Hicks and Jacques Locas are the names, reading from left to right. Locas&rsquo; service in Quebec loops dates back to 194 7 when he starred for the Royals on their march to the Allan Cup. Always a high scorer, he bagged 36 tallies for the old Sherbrooke club five seasons ago, and the past three campaigns show him with marks of 35, 24 and 27 goals for Chicoutimi teams. &#9632;

NOHA Puck Parade

<div class="byline">By &#x201C;CHICK&#x201D; APPEL</div>STRATFORD, Ont.&mdash;After five games in the western section of the senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; OHA, the assumption leads one to believe that scores will be low and close this season, it the results to date are any criterion. They also lead to the belief that the power-packed Kitchener Dutchmen and Windsor Bulldogs are not going to have any pushovers in Chatham Maroons, Owen Sound Mercurys and Stratford Indians.There seems to be improvement all around, and certainly Windsor and Kitchener have added considerable strength. Patronage has also been better than at the same time last season, which augurs well for the club coffers which took a beating a year ago.With 2-1 and 5-3 wins over Chatham and Stratford respectively. the Dutchmen lead the parade, and now that Jack McKenaie, their lanky rightwinger is back in action after serving a two-game suspension imposed last season for the brawl he had with John Lumley of Owen Sound, they should be even better.Windsor, perhaps, received something of a surprise in their opening game with the Indians, when they finished on the short end of a 4-2 score, but the Bulldogs redeemed themselves two days later by shading the Mercurys 3-2. the same score Mercurys lost by in their home debut against the Maroons.Results for the first five games leave Kitchener on top of the heap, with Windsor, Chatham and Stratford sharing the second slot with two points, while Owen Sound still have to record their first victory.Much interest centered around the Windsor at Stratford opener, owing to the Bulldogs signing two of the Indians&rsquo; aces, goalie Dou Head and centre Lou Bendo. An effort was made to have Head and Bendo barred until Windsor completed their part of the bargain, whereby the Indians received $500 in cash, but at time of writing neither of the two players promised Stratford had arrived. One of these players is Ralph Wilis, hefty defenceman, and the other to be chosen by Stratford when the Bulldogs&rsquo; roster is cut. Latest report is that iWlis has refused to leave Windsor and in that event the Bulldogs are being requested to furnish a substitute rearguard suitable to the Indians.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-03261/1624895-1-eng-US/f0015-032.jpg" title="f0015-03" width="272" height="416"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bob Dawson</figcaption></div>Kitchener Dutchmen have bolstered with goalie Bob Senior, Marlboro and Barrie junior of last season; Ralph Hosking of Owen Sound. Harry Psutka of Kitchener and &ldquo;Butch&rdquo; Martin, on the defence and Don Rope of Sault Greyhounds, who scored three goals against Stratford from his left-wing position, centre Jack Taylor, also from Owen Sound, and &ldquo;Chuck&rdquo; Henderson, loaned to Stratford by Windsor last season, but who failed to appear with the Indians and remained idle at his Guelph home.Chatham Maroons are happy in having their goalie. Marve Edwards of St. Catharines back, when it. was believed he might turn pro and be placed with a farm club. The Maroons are perhaps the most revamped team in the group, as they have three new defencemen in Ron McMillan. Leon Hubert and &ldquo;Copper&rdquo; Leyte. Up front they have newcomers Bill Cleary, Fred Pletsch and Eddie Ronson.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-04212/1624888-1-eng-US/f0015-042.jpg" title="f0015-04" width="1112" height="1681"><figcaption class="caption-body">Signed By IndiansJIM UNIAC</figcaption></div><h2>Burlington Coaching</h2>Owen Sound Mercurys practically lost the backbone of their last year&rsquo;s team through the retirement of the veteran Tommy Burlington now coach of the team; and removal of Ralph Hosking and Jack Taylor to Kitchener, and Ken Green to Toronto. Return of the veteran former NHL&rsquo;er Jackie Hamilton and signing of Kent Douglas and Roy McMeekin, a pair of blue-line performers, have helped to take up some of the slack, along with Bill Smith, Terry Hagan and W. Wilson, three forwards.Windsor Bulldogs have also come up with a greatly changed line-up, with Head in goal, defencemen Pete Pilotte and Pat Kely, three newcomers, plus Lou Bendo, Joe Klukay. for whom they paid $3,000 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Ches Warchol, who sat out most of last season with a broken wrist.Returning to the Stratford Indians&rsquo; goal as a replacement for Don Head, is the veteran homebrew Bruce Dale. On the rearguard the Indians have come up with three newcomers. Bob Dawson, with Pembroke Lumber Kings two years ago, and Joe Schertzl and Beyrl Klinck, obtained in a trade with Kitchener for Harry Psutka. The third player in the same deal brought. Pete Kowalchuk to Stratford. Other newcomers on the Indians front line are Herve Dejordy back after a brief term with Soo Greyhounds, who fractured his collarbone in the opening game, between the Bulldogs and Indians; Jackie White, who occupied the role of playing-coach for the Goderich. Sailors last year, and Jim Uniac purchased from the Hershey Bears.It is, of course, much too early to venture any predictions, besides all five clubs are dickering for more talent, but this is being done in all secrecy, other than that North Bay Trappers of the NOHA owe Stratford Indians in payment for the release of Johnny Muretich. and two players that Windsor owes Stratford. &#9632;

Va.&mdash;A voice from the south has a word of warning for the other members of the International Hockey League.&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t count Huntington out,&rdquo; Hornet Coach Eddie Olson admonishes his five IHL rivals.The West Virginia club is the newest addition to the well-balanced mid-western loop, and Olson feels confident that the puckchasing sport will &ldquo;go&rdquo; in Huntington.Using six skaters from the now-defunct Grand Rapids team as a nucleus, Olson has assembled a representative outfit that has shown in its early starts that it will give a good account of itself.True. Huntington scored only seven goals in its first five stalls, but on the other hand the opposition was limited to a meager nine goals over the same stretch by colorful Lou Crowdis, who is holding forth between the pipes for the southerners.&ldquo;We need more of a scoring punch, and plan to strengthen our offense with a few more deals,&rdquo; Olson revealed. &ldquo;But you can say that I&rsquo;m very pleased with our performance to date.&rdquo;The Hornets, twice beaten by 2-1 margins and once by 3-1, have won one (from Ft. Wayne), tied one (with Toledo) and lost three their first live times out<h2>Youth and Experience</h2>Olson, who is manning a left wing post. Defenseman Moose Lallo, (Center George Hayes and Crowdis provide the necessary experience for the club. The other members of the squad are. definitely on the youthful side.There&rsquo;s 18-year-bld Ron Johnson, probably the youngest man in the IHL, and John Ticalo, Doug Falby, Bob Wilson, Roger Christian and Gerry Frenette, all 20. Bill Fillman and Don Davidson both are 22, Garnet Schai is 23 and Ronald Spong and Joe Ingoldsby 24. Crowdis, Hayes, Lallo. Spong. Davidson and Ingoldsby all were with Grand Rapids last season.Johnson, from Marquette. Mich., is one of three Americans on the roster. Others are Christian, from Warroad, Minn, and Frenette, from Hancock, Mich.<h2>Olympic Brothers</h2>Olson and Christian both have brothers on the United States Olympic hockey. squad. Olson&rsquo;s brother. Weldon. and Christian&rsquo;s brother, Gordon are Olympic performers.&ldquo;There&rsquo;s been a lot, of interest in hockey in Huntington and it looks very much as though the fans are going to support our team.&rdquo; Olson pointed out. That&rsquo;s why we want to bring them a winner, if possible.The coach, a veteran of the American Hockey League, spent five years with St. Louis and five more with Cleveland, where he won the AHL scoring crown twice. Last year, he coached and played for Victoria in the Western League.ICING THE PUCK &hellip; Cincinnati once again heads the pack after the first full week of action in the International League. The Mohawks, seeking their fifth straight IHL crown, have won five out of six to stand two full games ahead of runner-up Indianapolis, which has taken three straight for a 3-2 mark. Next, in order, are Toledo. Ft. Wayne. Huntington and Troy, which snapped a four-game losing streak to edge Ft. Wayne, 2-1 &hellip; Tight defensive play has been the rule this season, with the losing or tieing club limited to a single goal in 12 of the first 15 contests; Huntington&rsquo;s Crowdis tops goalies with a I 80 goals against, average, followed by Cincinnati&rsquo;s Glenn Ramsay, 1.83, and Toledo&rsquo;s Al Bennett, 2.00.
