Speaking on Sport
Toronto Star It’s Not True That Gump Is Gagged One of the unfair raps against Phillipe Henri Watson, coach of the rib-rattling Rangers, is that he berates his sad-face goalie, Gump Worsley, in public places, without giving Gump the right to berate back. The charge is untrue. If Gump doesn’t get as many derogatory quotes in the prints as Phil does, it must be his press agent who’s at fault. Phil definetely concedes Gump at least one of the four freedoms — the one relating to speech. And it’s a dangerous privilege for Phil to permit. In man-toman debate with Gump, Watson is all-out to gain a tie. Phil had intended that Saturday in Toronto should be recognized as “Be Good to Gump Day”.

U.S. Coach Says Dutchies Five Better Than Dunnies Any Night
STRATFORD, Ont.— While high hopes are held in Canada for the Whitby Dnnlops to regain the world hockey championship in Oslo Norway, next month, there are those who are a bit skeptical about the results, and it would seem that Wren Blair, manager of the Whitby team, which has embarked on its exhibition series in Europe prior to the world tourney, and Calvin Marsh, coach of the United States National team, another entry in the world tournament, have much different ideas of the strength of the contending teams. After two games between the United States and Canadian teams, which ended in scores of 6-2 for Whitby and a 2-2 tie, Blair was quoted as saying that he figured the United States team was more of a threat than the Russian selects,…
