AL HOOPER
VANCOUVER, B.C.—As promised (I promised my) cousin Cyril, when he left an opening) the final standing in the Western Hockey League’s Coast Division is about to be revealed. Right here. You don’t always get that kind of revealing in a family publication. Vancouver Canucks will win the entire package. Or has somebody mentioned that before? If so, somebody is right. Only the schedule must be played to protect the stockholders. Exactly four faces have that last-year look when Canucks get together these days. But they’re not apologizing. Last year they finished last. Something had to give and general-manager Art Chapman was dam-sure it wasn’t going to be the coach, who is also Art Chapman. The four faces, as advertised, belong to Wiggie Wylie, Jackie McLeod, Hugh Currie and Phil Maloney. The new faces…

Pidhirny, incidentally, has played his entire pro career in the American League. Sullivan, the…
Boston’s Swedish Import Says There Is NHL Material In European League
MONTREAL, Que.—Noted for their durability in logging the mileage, scouts for National Hockey League clubs will soon de broadening their range if they take a tip from Sven (Tumba) Johansson. Johansson is the Swedish born international who played center for the team that nosed out the Russians for the world amateur hockey championship last March. He’s presently on a rive game trial with Quebec Aces of the Quebec Hockey League, after making quite an impression in Bruins’ early autumn muscle-flexing at Boston. His activities in the Hub were cut short when he fractured his left wrist. Now Tumba—the nickname is derived from his home town. Tumba, which is 20 miles from Stockholm—thinks there are two or three good hockey players in Europe who are worth a look by the major league sleuths. Chance Meeting When…
