Perras Comes Back To Lead Cleveland To Win Over Bisons
CLEVELAND, Ohio— The old guy guarding the Cleveland Barons’ nets here in the red, white and blue-seated Arena the night of Saturday, Jan. 5th was putting up a stone wall defense that sent goose-flesh dancing up and down the spines of the 6,537 who were sitting in. The audience knew that they were witnessing one of those gallant stands by an old pro who had been summoned to fill emergency. For standing as stalwartly as a bronze pillar In the Cleveland cage, his face etched by countless scars and the marks of many stitchings was a fellow named Floyd Perras. He was old enough to be the father of many of his Barons’ teammates and even old enough to be the grandfather of some. Perras had long ago—back in 1349—removed the big pads for the…

Player-of-the-Week
New York Rangers’ Andy Hebenton is THE HOCKEY NEWS’ Player-of-the-week choice for activity during the past week. The husky Hebenton played a key role in Rangers dividing four games during the past week. In all he scored five goals and picked up an assist to boost his seasonal output to 14 goals. Hebenton, off to a slow start, began to roll once coach Phil Watson put Andy Bathgate at centre. And all his goals have been timely ones for the playoff bound Rangers, who are fighting a torrid battle with the Maple Leafs for the fourth and last playoff spot. Hebenton’s handy-work began in New York last Wednesday night when he scored a goal in a losing cause as the’ Leafs nipped the Blueshirts, 4-3. But two nights later, Hebenton really went…
