Gump Returns 9 Weeks Later Than He Predicted
NEW YORK, NY— Lorne “Gump” Worsley, the prodigal goaltender, has returned to Rangerville. Like General MacArthur, Worsley vowed he’d return. He did — only not in the week’s time the Gump predicted on that bleak November morning when Marcel Paille replaced him. Thus, New York sport fans who were wondering not “Who’s on first?” but “Who’s in goal?” now know that stumpy-Gumpy temporarily has it over pudgywudgy Paille. The six-goal barrage in six minutes by Boston against Marcel Jan. 4th was what started his downfall. It merely was a matter of time after that. Paille got a temporary reprieve the weekend of Jan. 12th when Muzz Patrick and Phil Watson said they’d stick with him. But after two days reflection Muzz decided to make the switch. “I believe this is the best thing for Marcel. “Muzz said.…
Rangers, With Gump Back Get 2nd Back On Three Big Wins
MONTREAL, Que.— New York Rangers won three games during the week and moved into second place in the National Hockey League standings. The Rangers went ahead of Detroit, last week’s second-place occupants. The Rangers have 46 points to Detroit’s 43. Montreal Canadiens have a stranglehold on first place with 63 points. Toronto and Boston are tied with 39 points each but the Leafs have scored more goals and therefore get the call, for the last remaining playoff position. Chicago Black Hawks are last with 36 points. Players from the Montreal. Canadiens hold down the top three places among the scoring leaders. Dickie Moore is in first place with 24 goals and 32 assists for 56 points; Henri Richard is second with 20 goals and 32 assists for 52 points; and Bernie Geoffrion…
Powerful Teepees Find Stars Just Too Glittering To Stop
GUELPH, Ont.— The first annual OIIA Junior All-Star game proved to be an unqualified success, with the only dissenting voice coming from St. Catharines Teepees supporters who saw their beloved Teepees walloped 9-4. Teepees, who topped the league, hosted the encounter and a sellout crowd was on hand for the affair. Rudy Pilous returned from Chicago to handle his club but failed to bid farewell to Junior hockey on a winning note Teepees gave it a game try but Turk Broda, who drew the coaching assignment for the All-Stars by virtue of having his club in second place, had too much going for him. Most surprising aspect ot the game was the manner in which the All-Stars tossed the puck around, it wouldn’t have been surprising if the game had developed into a…
Name-My-Goaler, Patrick Quizz, As His Net Problems Continue
BOSTON, Mass.— When Lynn Patrick was composing his splendid textbook on hockey last spring there was one chapter for which he requested and received technical assistance. The chapter dealt with goaltending and for aid Patrick called on the Bruins’ goalie, Don Simmons. Explained the Bruins’ manager-author: “I don’t know anything about tending goal.” Perhaps not, but Patrick qualifies as an authority on one phase of that hasardous occupation. That’s the human phase — goal-tenders themselves. He has had enough of them since he has been working with the Bruins, as he pointed out the other day. “A good quiz question for anyone who follows the Bruins.” he observed, “is to name all the goal-tenders we’ve had since I’ve been here.” Patrick then proceded to rattle off this list: Jack Gelineau, Gordon “Red” Henry, Sugar Jim Henry, Long John…
