Staff Gives ‘Give ’Em Year’ Plan Heave-Ho When Leafs Heave-To
TORONTO, Ont. Those unconditional one-year guarantees that Toronto Maple Leafs gave out with jobs this hockey season were torn up one month before they matured. Two quick desparation moves terminated the insurance plan as football star Gerry James was lured back onto ice to replace the veteran Rudy Migay and goaltender Jacques Marcotte was purchased from Three Rivers to challenge Ed Chadwick for his job. It had originally been Leafs’ season-long intention, in the words of acting manager Stafford Smythe, “to give our kids one year to show us what they can do.”But when the team found itself six points removed from the fourth and final Stanley Cup playoff berth, with only IS games remaining, the plan that had been in force since last summer was abandoned. And it will never be renewed, coach…
Teeps Clinch First, Hatters Last While Others In Wide Open Fight
GUELPH, Ont.— Ontario championship. This year with three games remaining, they’d registered only 13 wins. Biltmores downward plummet could be attributed to a variety of causes, not the least of which was the loss, through age, of eight players who among them scored over 200 goals last season. This was followed up by the failure of the few returning forwards from last, year to produce and a rash of early-season injuries.

This along-with the fact that they won (with one game remaining) only two games on the road may constitute some sort of a record. They played .500 hockey at home but for all the good their road trips did them they might as…
Adams Never Accused Red Of Coaching
MONTREAL. Que.— Don’t believe what you read. Jack Adams to this day has never accused referee Red Storey of coaching the Montreal Canadiens, according to Marshall Dann. After a game in Detroit on Sunday, February 23rd, when the Canadiens played the Wings to a 3-3 tie, Adams was reported to have said he would ask for a full investigation into the matter of Storey coaching defenseman Doug Harvey on the ice. Dann. Hockey News correspondent found the story so ridiculous that he refused to even write about it. “Adams has never accused Storey of doing such a thing. He merely told three fans that he would ask league headquarters to look into it. After all when three fans who have been buying tickets for over 20 years tell you something like that you…
