Boom!
DETROIT, Mich.—Dutch Reibel is such an easy-going hockey player that Jack Adams never hesitates to toss a spare firecracker under him. In one of the Ked Wings’ exhibition double! leaders this fail, it happened this way: Reibel not only was demoted from the Detroit varsity but he was dropped all the way to a junior team engaging in the preliminary game. Properly jolted, Reibel responded swiftly. He fired three goals and an assist in leading his juniors to a 6-3 victory. Those three goals helped Reibel take the goal-scoring lead in Detroit’s pre-season play. He had six—the three others coming while in the Red Wing lineup.…
NATIONAL LEAGUE
The Montreal Canadiens dominate the NHL point race after one week of play. Dickie Moore and Jean Beliveau, each with six points lead the parade with six points. Moore has three goals. Beliveau has two. Maurice Richard leads all goalgetters with four goals. The Boston Bruins and the New York Rangers put in solid performances in the first week of play. So did the Montreal Canadiens, but everybody expected the Habs to do well. All three teams are undefeated. How The Race Goes TUESDAY.

Prentice All-Star Performance Gould Be Indication That Winger Is Ready
NEW YORK. N.Y.— Is Dean Prentice All-Star material or were 13,000 fans seeing things at the Forum last week? Monsieur Prentice was easily the best portsider as the All-Stars wrapped up the Canadiens 5-3. He spanked a goal and two assists and looked a luminary all evening. It should take about half a season to find out whether it was a mirage or whether the Schumacher, Ont. product has reached the upper echelon, at last. Dean is perhaps the best Ranger All-Star left wing candidate in years. In fact, only one Blueshirt in the Club’s 31-year history ever was named All-Star left winger. That was Lynn Patrick, Bruin GM. who earned the vote in 1911-42. (Ranger coaeh Phil Watson still maintains that he “carried” Lynn all that season.) Although Prentice played for the All-Stars, he…
Youngest Black Hawk In History
CHICAGO, III.—“His name—and don’t forget it—is Bobby Hull. When he was just a kid of 14 I predicted he would be playing Junior “A” when he was 16 and would turn pro when he was 18.” This was the voice 2 years ago of Bob Wilson, then and still chief Black Hawk scout for eastern Canada. We took down his comments and they formed an exclusive story in THE HOCKEY NEWS. Earlier this month, just about 2 years to the day, the same young Mr. Hull, now 17 years old, became the youngest player to be signed by and for Chicago in the 30-year history of the club. Hull has kept pace with room to spare with Wilson’s hopes and predictions on his behalf. A star the past 2 years with the…
