Player-of-the-week
PROVIDENCE, R. I. — Goaler Marcel Paille must have liked playing in the National Hockey League for the New York Rangers. He’s putting up a strong fight to get back, while performing brilliantly for the Providence Reds. When Marcel was called up by the Rangers after Lorne Worsley was injured, he looked as though he was going to stay. He led the Rangers into first place and played so brilliantly he was being called the best rookie in the NHL and one of the best goaling prospects to come along in some time. He racked up great games, stopping the likes of Gordie Howe, Dickie Moore and Bronco Horvath with amazing skill. He suddenly became Phil Watson’s boy. But one Saturday afternoon, in a game against the Boston Bruins the house caved…
Mohawks Find It Tougher To Win As Loop Titlests
CINCINNATI, O. — Mohawk’s coach Billy Goold has heard just about enough from the Fort Wayne Komets and their general Manager, Ernie Berg. Last week Berg accused the Mohawks of being “patsies” for the other teams in the league since the Mohawks wrapped up the pennant. Berg stated, “How can they say they are going all out even though they have the pennant wrapped up?” Continuing, Berg stated, “During the season the Mohawks won every four out of five starts until they clinched the pennant February 11.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The time was mid-season. Willie Marshall, the Hershey Bears prolific scorer, was talking about the American Hockey League’s individual scoring championship. “Sure I’d love to win it,” said the guy with the Sinatra build. “But I’d rather be on a championship team even more. “If I’m lucky enough to win it, I’ll chuck a party. I’m not kidding, either. The reason I’ve been in it all the way is because of Obie (O’Brien) and Dune (Fisher).” O’Brien’s on Marshall’s left, while “Little Dune” flanks the swift-moving centerman on the other side. The trio have parlayed their talents to become the club’s most potent scoring crew since the days when Lorne Ferguson-Red Sullivan-Fisher were smothering league goalies with rubber four years ago. Time is fast running out and Marshall still leads the pack…
