Canadiens’ Coach Says It’s Toss Up For Title Now

MONTREAL, Que.— A familiar pattern is being-established in the National Hockey League again this season — a tight race to the wire between the Montreal Canadiens and the Detroit Red Wings. The Boston Bruins, who romped away to an auspicious start like the speedy hare in his fabled encounter with the tortoise, have encountered troubles, among them the unexpected retirement of goalie Terry Sawchuk. Likely they won’t be able to overtake the Habs and the Wings again. Not this season. It is beginning to appear almost I certain that the championship will be settled in the six games remaining to be played between the two main Contenders. three in each city, and I the club that shatters the other’s home ice supremacy will have a decided advantage.

Jittery Janitor’s Job Doesn’t Jar Chadwick

TORONTO, Ont.— If Ed Chadwick had suddenly remembered another appointment, say in Afghanistan, nobody could really have blamed him. It would have seemed the natural thing to do for a young man just setting out as a goaltender at a time when veterans in the business were backing Terry Sawchuk’s retirement with their own tales of the horror that accompanies the vocation. Turk Broda, the former Toronto Maple Leaf goal-guardian indicated the profession is one well calculated to drive sane men wacky. Gerry McNeil, the former Montreal Canadien now playing with Royals under less pressure, said he could understand how Sawchuk felt, allowing that goaltending and frayed nerves go together. Still another ex-Leaf, Harry Lumley, now with Buffalo, admitted the nervous tension grows each year and stays with netminders during the off-season after they’ve been…
