Big Frank Gives Flashy Show As Centre Of Attraction Line
PETERBOROUGH, Ont.— With left-side drive, the Big M. was the toast of Toronto and a prize-winning newcomer to production lines a year ago. But not even this sort of success is going to deter Toronto Maple Leaf coach Billy Reay from introducing centre drive with the newest line of the Big M. After making one major alteration in the line, Reay is convinced he will meet as much success with the Big M, or Frank Mahovlich, at centre this season-as he did failure with the same 200-pound giant at centre a year ago. It was only after Billy returned Mahoviieh to the freshman’s customary left wing that Frank started his surge to the Calder Cup as last year’s National League rookie-of-the-year. Prior to that, Mahovlich had authored only one goal in 19 games…

Bisons Pin Hopes On Hergy’s Stick
Little, Big Bison BUFFALO, N.Y.— A year ago spunky Wally Hergesheimer entered the American Hockey League season with the Buffalo Bisons with little more to recommend him than his indomitable spirit and past record. Hergesheimer had labored diligently through pre-season training with the Chicago Black Hawks after missing half the previous season because of a broken shoulder. It was apparent that the blackthatched Hergesheimer, at 30, was having his conditioning troubles. Try as he might, he was a split second late in getting aways shots; a half stride behind going up ice. But Buffalo General Manager Fred Hunt wasn’t going to give up on Hergy until he quit on himself. This never happened. The goals came slowly through the first half of the season for a man who once set an AHL rookie record of…
