Bush Exhibitions May Be Steady Diet For Wings Over Practicing
DETROIT, Mich.— Exhibition games, regarded as an unnecessary evil, are pretty much scorned by National Hockey League teams once the season gets underway. One reason is that hockey experts see no benefit, only harm, from players competing against inferior opposition. Jack Adams, however, suspects that there may be some benefit in the type of games which an NHL team should win by scores like 20-0 if so inclined. It all started when the Detroit Red Wings booked a couple of unplanned exhibitions in addition to the three regularly played each season. The Detroiters always visit the collegiate teams at the University of Michigan and at Michigan State University, and also play against their Hamilton Junior farm hands. The two added games, just a week apart, sent the Wings before 4,000 fans on an outdoor rink…
Major Club Taking Marshall Would Be Smart To Take Dune
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…

Gordon Warns All But Five To Move Or Face Troubles
CLEVELAND, O.— Jackie Gordon’s blast that his Barons were loafing and that “five players are carrying the entire club” set off a babble of controversy among both fans and players. The Gordon charge came at a time when his skaters were tied with the Hershey Bears for the lead of the American Hockey League and to the man in the street seemed to take on the character of a man crying “wolf, wolf” when there was no wolf. But Gordon’s surprise statement, carried exclusively in The Cleveland News, was not treated lightly by the Barons. Concerned players in the Cleveland igloo had the grapevine listening posts going full blast almost at once. No one was quick to admit that he was outside the circle of the “golden five”. Gordon charged that five of the Barons were…
