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…

Davis Comes Through For Bears When Guns Silenced
HERSHEY, Pa. — When the Hershey siege guns were pretty well silenced during the Bears’ recent seven-game road trip, Lorne Davis, a battle-scarred veteran of seven NHL and AHL campaigns, became the club’s top lamp lighter. Davis fired four goals in the club’s last three games to bring his season’s total to 16, thereby equaling his total output for all of last season. A much-travelled puckster, who has seen service with Montreal. Boston, Chicago and Detroit, of the NHL, Davis has earned himself a regular berth with the Bears. At the beginning of the season, however, it wasn’t Lorne’s scoring ability which gave the club a lift, but rather his teaming with Les Duff as a penalty killing duo which rated the praise of coach Frank Mathers. A right wing throughout most of…
Life Or Death March Stares Barons After Climb To AHL Throne
CLEVELAND. O.— Recess was over for the Barons. They had made in impressive piles during the stay in the home town, had thrilled the city of Cleveland by a stirring comeback, but now they must walk the plank. The Barons were face-to-face with a devastating road schedule. They had deadlocked Hershey tor first place but the outlook was still grim The Hershey Bears, on the other hand, were finished with their “Death march”. They had come through bloody but still alive. In seven games the Bears had lost four, won two. and lied one. Nevertheless, with possible trouble and chaos staring the Cleveland skaters in the face, they rated a huge salute from the citizens of Cleveland and the hockey world for one of the truly splendid comebacks of recent history. Brow-beaten, body lacerated, the…
