Bolton Flying Student With Amerks
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The already strong Rochester Americans have received added player help in the persons of Stan Smrke from the Montreal Canadiens and Hugh Bolton from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Neither is exactly a stranger to hockey fans, although neither ever appeared here before. Smrke, featured in a full page story in The Hockey News on Oct. 19, is a left winger, while Bolton is a defenceman. Simce Smrke’s background was completely covered in the earlier Hockey News story, there isn’t need to run through his qualifications again. But for a thumbnail sketch of Stan’s ability, a glance at the Montreal Canadiens’ press guide shows a fine resume. “Over the year, Stan has been recognized as one of the finest wingers outside the NHL. He is a solid and eficient checker, very strong and…

Willie Marshall of Hershey has a seven-point lead over team-mate Dune Fisher in the scoring race. Willie has been setting a goal-a-game pace. CLEVELAND, Ohio—A year ago Boris (Bo) Elik landed in the Barons’ igloo as the hottest piece of hockey property to hit the Lake Erie shore in years.

Masks Not Yet Satisfactory Says Bruins’ Don Simmons
BOSTON, Mass.—Goal-tenders won’t be Masked Marvels in National league games for awhile yet, in the opinion of tlue Bruins’ Don Simmons. Like most of his goal-tending contemporaries Simmons has been wearing a plastic face mask in practice this fall. His use of the mask dates from a game in Montreal in which he was cut by Montreal’s Maurice Richard for 11 stitches. Although one of the cuts, under the right eye, resulted in extensive swelling and discoloration Simmons was able to practice less than two days later while wearing the mask. But the talented Bruins’ goalie doesn’t believe that the protective device has reached the stage of development yet where it’s practical for game use. “It’s a great tiling to have for practice.’’ observed Don. It can come close to eliminating practice injuries, most…
