New York-Boston Feud Extends To Fan Clubs
NEW YORK, N.Y.— Using an old Revolutionary War trick, a covey of crafty Bostonians made off with the Ranger Fan Club bantier in a coup that has aroused talks of “war” between the already feuding Bruin and Ranger parties. The embarrassing incident which threatens to shove the Boston Tea Party into complete obscurity — occurred ‘he afternoon of March 3 at Boston Garden. Unlike the B.T.P. or the Battle of Bunker Hill, there were 10,000,000 witnesses to this ruse—most watching it on TV along with ‘he Ranger-Bruin bout For two periods the brassy red. white and blue banner hung defiantly on (be Ranger beachhead in the Boston Garden balcony. It had hung there before and its position never was challenged by the enemy. This time, they waited until the Ranger guard was down,…
Switch To Centre Reason Larry Now A Boston Bruir
BOSTON— Although Larry Regan played right wing exclusively for nearly seven years before joining the Boston Bruins, he has played his old position only once this season. Forced by a sudden rash of minor injuries to shuffle his lines in a game here last fall. Coach Milt Schmidt used Regan at right wing where Larry put in an anonymous evening. Afterward Manager Lynn Patrick was asked, “Where has this fellow Regan been all these years?” Patrick laughed and replied, “Playing right wing in the minors. And if he had been playing right wing the night Milt and I saw him he’d still be there.”…
Lynn Suggests Watson Get Barrel Of ‘Magic Brew’ For Other Blues
BOSTON, Mass.— The shortest distance between two hockey points seems to be that between New York and Boston, when Phil Watson starts making speeches. Watson dissertations, including his most recent on the habits of his stumpy goal-tender Lome “Gump” Worsley, are seemingly wafted here at the speed of sound. The New York coach’s tirade tn which he called Worsley a “beer-barrel belly” among other things appeared here in the Quincy Patriot Ledger following Its delivery in New York after the Rangers and Chicago Black Hawks played a 5-6 tie. Manager-Coach Tommy Ivan of Chicago promptly struck back at Watson in defense of his you<ng forward. Hector Lalande. Lynn Patrick, manager of the Bruins, teed off on Watson in defense of Worsley. Ivan’s concern was direct, for Watson had asked in criticising Worsley, “When a dope like…
Royals’ Plan To Construct For Future
VANCOUVER, B.C.— Our little world having: the suicidal tendencies it does, this year is no time to concern ourselves with next year. But (and there always is one) the New Westminister Royals seem to be in shape for it. When Max McNab coached the club his nagging worry was the lack of new blood on the premises. (Cards in the crowd will now observe that Peltin’ Peter Durham was obtained to rectify this oversight. But McNab meant something else. Besides, Pete hasn’t killed anybody this year.) Max loved the game and, quite naturally, the Royals most of all. It bothered him that such Western League veterans as Bob Love, Blinky Boyce, BoP Bergeron and — modesty forbade him to mention himself, but I’ll mention him — Maxwell McNab were bearing Royals’ heaviest brunt in their dec…
