They reserve their jokes and sly comments for the glamor scorers. Plante isn&rsquo;t bothered.Last Saturday night, though, only Dickie Moore was left in the room by the time Plante was ready to leave. Plante was pale and drawn as he shrugged into his coat. He hesitated before opening the door leading from the Canadieus room into the Forum hallway.Then he turned to a visitor who fidgeted at his side:&ldquo;Why,&rdquo; he asked, &ldquo;did, it have to happen here? Why here, of all places?&rdquo;He had made a terrible mistake in the first period of the game against the Chicago Black Hawks.Canadiens had the man advantage, and a Chicago player had snapped the puck into the Canadiens&rsquo; corner to Plante&rsquo;s left, then had raced for the puck ahead of the Canadiens&rsquo; defence.Plante skated to the corner, and in an attempt to clear the puck into the opposite corner, had cleared hurriedly. The puck hit the side of the net, giving Earl Balfour plenty of time to trap it and score into the empty net.People have been waiting for years to see Plante caught that way. They won&rsquo;t let horn forget it for a long time.Graveyard For Goalies At ForumThe goalie&rsquo;s hand shook slightly as he pulled on the dressing room door.The hallway empty and cold. People don&rsquo;t wait for autographs from a losing team.Plante thrust his hands deep into his coat pockets as we walked along the hall. He stared at the floor.He recalled that the&rsquo; Forum has been a graveyard for goalkeepers. It&rsquo;s an old story. The people almost drove Bill Durnau from the rink. They did it to (ferry McNeil, too.Before this National Hockey League season opened. McNeil was one of the goalies in camp. He was. of course, scheduled to resume duties with the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League. It was mentioned to him that &ldquo;Bucko&rdquo; McDonald had been named coach of the Rochester team that afternoon, and it pleased the goalie.&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll enjoy playing for him.&rdquo; said Gerry, &ldquo;he&rsquo;s a good man.&rdquo;&ldquo;Do you mean to tell me. you don&rsquo;t think you can beat Plante for the Canadiens job?&rdquo; I asked. It was meant as a joke, but McNeil didn&rsquo;t see the humor in it.&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve had enough of the NHL rat race,&rdquo; he said grimly. &ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t take the regular job with the Canadiens for anything,&ldquo;With Rochester, at least I can sleep nights. That&rsquo;s more important to me than living in the best hotels.&rdquo;&ldquo;I know how McNeil feels.&rdquo; said Plante.Felt Like Leaving GameDoug Harvey walked ahead of us. and several people appeared from the shadows and thrust notebooks and pencil at the injured Canadiens.We waited while the defenceman scribbled his name on the sheets of paper, then the cluster of people thinned, and Plante led the way toward the door leading to the street.Several minutes after the Chicago opening goal, and with the cries of the crowd still curling around Plante&rsquo;s ears, a Black Hawks player threw the puck into the Canadiens zone and Plantis raced out almost as far as the blueline to prevent the Chicago player from breaking in on the nets unmolested.&ldquo;What made you come out that far after what happened with the first goal he was asked.&ldquo;I had to. that&rsquo;s all,&rdquo; he said simply.&ldquo;After the first period.&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;I felt like staying out of the game. I asked one of the players if they ever fell that way. and he told me it&rsquo;s been like that for years. I felt better. At least the coach is with me.&ldquo;I know how McNeil felt, but at least the coach is ou my side. That&rsquo;s worth more than anything else.&rdquo;We neared the door leading to the sidewalk where a few of the players stood quietly with their wives.Two youngsters in their early teens looked at Plante, whispered rapidly to each other tor a moment, shrugged their shoulders and then approached the goalie.They asked him to hign his name under Harvey&rsquo;s scrawl.&ldquo;At least,&rdquo; Plante grinned. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve got somebody on my side.&rdquo; He walked a little straighter as he disappeared Into the &#9632;

‘Long Walk’ For Goalie

<div class="byline">By GEOFFREY FISHER</div>For the Barons, home port at the Cleveland Arena must seem like the Promised Land.They have played three engagements at home and turned up two wins and a tie. [They had played four on the road, prior to a date at Sprinfield Wednesday, Oct, 29, and lost all fourIt wasn&rsquo;t so much that they lost the games but it was the demoralizing manner in which they did it.At Rochester Oct. 12 it was Rochester 8 Cleveland 3.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-01376/1689002-1-eng-US/f0010-012.jpg" title="f0010-01" width="283" height="406"><figcaption class="caption-body">Georges Bouchard</figcaption></div>At Buffalo Oct. 19 it was Buffalo 4 Cleveland 3At. Hershey Oct. 2 2 it was Hershey 5 Cleveland 0.At Springfield Oct. 25 it was Springfield 4 Cleveland 0.At Providence Oct. 2 6 it was Providence 3 Cleveland 2.Through it all the Barons bean pole goalie. Gerry McNamara. was shelled viciously.He was forced to come up with 41. saves against Springfield and the following night 4 4 against Providence.In the four road games played. the Barons had scored five goals while the opposition had potted 16.Cleveland&rsquo;s trouble went deeper than the inability to score goals.The biggest headache was the defense where Coach Jackie Gordon suddenly found himself with only three rearguards plus a now-and-then utility man.Georges Bouchard had been sent back to Cleveland for treatment of a leg injury that had sidelined him from the second game of the season.Gordon was forced to operate with Bill Needham. Ian Anderson and Bucky Hollingworth as regulars and Ed MacQueen as an emergency replacement.Not in many years had the. Barons been caught as thin on defenseFresh from training camp, Gordon and General Manager Jim Hendy were confident they were well protected at all posts.They were high on their rookie goalie replacement, Johnny Albani, taking over for the de parted Johnny (China Wall) Bower.They thought the defense was solid with the addition of the rugged Hollingworth and the rookie Anderson.But Albani was soon found to lack the stuff needed to fill Bower&rsquo;s huge role. Hendy quickly made the deal that, brought McNamara from Toronto.Then Bouchard was hurt.Even before the injury to Bouchard, Hendy and Gordon saw the need to add a qualified defensemanlan Anderson, while strong and willing, was making the big jump from the junior ranks. He needed a.strong, steady veteran to work with.Drafted Players MissedThe huge gaps left by the departure of Pete Goegan and Steve Kraftcheck certainly had not been filled satisfactorily.Up front Gordon had more headaches.The big punch was expected to come from the veteran first unit of Capt. Freddy Glover, Jimmy Moore and the newly-acquired Ed (Spider) Mazur.But through the first seven games of the campaign the rifles of this trio had remained painfully quiet. Together they had notched only six goals in the first seven games.Until this unit was able to pierce the opposition consistently, the Barons apparently would remain weak on the attack.Meanwhile, the only big punch from the Clevelanders was being delivered by Bill (The Destroyer) Shvetz, Art Stratton and Don Hogan.As the Barons moved from town to town on their two-week excursion, Hendy met with National League bosses in New York and elsewhere in an effort to make a deal for a defenseman.His efforts were made double difficult by the fact that he had little to offer in barter. Most desireable members of his cast, from a National League standpoint, would be Bobby Barlow and Art Stratton.He wasn&rsquo;t likely to consider any offer involving these two. &#9632;

The Hockey News

<div class="byline">By MARSHALL DANN</div>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;Success stories always are the nicest to read&mdash;and write.But failure also requires recording, so let&rsquo;s take one last look at the strange story of Dunc Fisher and Gerry Ehman.They have co-starred in a hockey drama ever since their names were linked for the first time last April. That was when the American Hockey League announced its All-Star team, which had the veteran Fisher at right wing and the hustling young Ehman at left wing.Fisher was a 41-goal mail tor the Hershey Bears. Ehman was a 40-goaler for Springfield.Both clubs were tapped at once by Jack Adams, general manager of Detroit Red Wings, as he hurried to work a neat and shrewd pair of deals. He wanted those two players before draft time came along, and he was willing to pay handsomely for the contracts.Both clubs wanted players, and players they got. Springfield received goalie Hank Bassen and forwards Dennis Olson and Bill McCreary tor Ehman, 25, who once belonged to the Wings about four years earlier.Hershey, just initiating a working agreement with Detroit, received Hec Lalande and Don Poile.Both trades, even though costly, were viewed as excellent one&rsquo;s. They were solid evidence of the rebuilding program Adams bad underway. Scout reports were high on both players, and there really didn&rsquo;t seem to be any gamble connected.Then came the new season.At training camp Ehman quickly became the fourth-line forward when Claude Laforge beat him out of the third-line left wing spot. Veterans Alex Delvecchio and Johnny Wilson were ahead of them.To give Ehman another outlet to show his talent, he was spotted at point on the power play with Detroit&rsquo;s biggest scorers.Fisher had a much more. pleasant camp session. He showed good legs early and went on to score six times in the exhibition Season. He had a regular job on right wing along with Gordie Howe and Billy McNeill. Then Nick Mickowski came off the injury list and suddenly Fisher was a fourth-liner, which is not much more than a glorified bench warmer in the Detroit system.After eight games, neither of these AHL All-Stars had a goal. Ehman was credited with one assist, Fisher with none.It is true that they didn&rsquo;t get many chances to score aside from Fisher&rsquo;s two-game stand before Mickowski mended. The trend, however, wasn&rsquo;t good when they did appear.Finally came the move which was not unexpected.Fisher and Ehman were sent hack to the minors, both assigned to Hershey under the working agreement.In return, left wing Tom McCarthy, 24. was recalled from Hershey and right wing Charlie Holmes, 24, was ordered from the Edmonton farm in the Western League. To complete the three-cornered deal Hershey also sent Don Poile to Edition toil.While Detroit kept a tag on Fisher and Ehman and can recall either in 24 hours, there seemed little doubt but what the big summertime gamble with its complicated and hurried trade arrangements had gone down the drain.The ironic part of the whole affair was that of the 16 AHL players who moved to the NHL at the start of this season.<h2>Dunc Fisher</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01302/1688061-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="511" height="1432"><figcaption class="caption-body">Dunc Fisher</figcaption></div>Stars&mdash;were the first two who bounced back to the minors,After last year&rsquo;s ill-fated experiment with, Guyle Fielder, the phenom of the minors, and then the losing gamble on Fisher and Ehman, Jack Adams can be excused for mentioning bis hard luck at finding NHL material in the minors.McCarthy, who played 21 games for Detroit previously. and Holmes, making his NHL debut, were the second and third new players brought in since the season started. Jack Hendrickson, a defenseman, popped up from the Hershey feeder a week earlier but was said to be just awaiting assignment.<h2>Failed To Fly</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02286/1688054-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="505" height="1435"></div>The Wings still had not scored a goal after the first two appearances in Canada this season. They &rsquo;dropped a 2-0 decision in Montreal in the opener, then were shut out. 3 to 0, on their first visit to Toronto.Detroit&rsquo;s five opponents trooped into Olympia in succession this season and the Wings won three and lost two on the initial lap around the track. Victories were posted over New York. Toronto and Boston while defeats came from Chicago and Montreal.The Bruins proved that it never is too late to ruin a shutout on their invasion. Terry Sawchuk. had a 3-0 lead and a shutout alive going into the final seconds. Larry Hillman broke over the blue line with: five seconds left, fired a shot off Terry&rsquo;s chest.Sawchuk was so eager to get the rebound that be came way out of position. Hillman and Detroit defender swung at the rebound together and somehow the puck danced crazily over the goal line at 19:59.Rocket Richard, who closed the season with one-man show here last April, opened on the same note this season. The Rocket fired iial trick, with two goals in the final period, to eliminate Detroit.Next lime he stepped on the rink was Sept. 26 and he promptly scored again at 1:42 of the first period. It triggered 5-3 Montreal victory, although Detroit held 3-1 lead at one stage. Although losers, the Wings played one of their better games. &#9632;

Summertime Success Story Is Wintertime Flop For Detroit

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div>NEW YORK. N.Y.&mdash;Batten down the hatches, men, Phil Watson has cranked up a full head of steam. He&rsquo;s a snortin&rsquo; at the Boston Bruins with Toronto Maple Leafs coming in for a side thrust.While he wasn&rsquo;t exactly roaring angry at Leafs&rsquo; goalie Johnny Bower, the New York coach had a straightforward rebuttal for something jawing Jawn had to say about him.Regarding his playing for Rangers Bower remarked:&ldquo;My gosling average was reasonably good&hellip; when Watson took over I was gone. Maybe Phil didn&rsquo;t like my style. Maybe he expected me to fight, back when he bawled me out. I never talk back to a coach.&rdquo;<h2>It&rsquo;s His Clock</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-04203/1688123-1-eng-US/f0002-042.jpg" title="f0002-04" width="570" height="574"><figcaption class="caption-body">Phil Watson</figcaption></div>Watson rebutted with the news that no one answers him back more than Andy Bathgate and sometimes Andrew makes some cogent points.Since Bower never answered back, Phil reasons, how was the coach to know whether or not he was getting through to him. Or whether Bower had a beef on his mind.As for Bower&rsquo;s playing style. Watson repeated what he told us when we went on a scouting trip with him three seasons ago. He disapproves of the way Bower turns around looking for rhe puck in the net when he loses sight of it.&ldquo;What&rsquo;s the sense of looking there? If the puck&rsquo;s in the. net it&rsquo;s in and nothing can be done about it.&rdquo;Johnson Centre Of TalkMeanwhile. Phil broke a three-month truce and re sumed (with Lynn&rsquo;s provocation&hellip; he was in the same room with Watson) his feud with Lynn Patrick.It started at the weekly New York Hockey Writers Luncheon at Leones when Patrick insisted he would not be a straight man for Watson. When Phil got up to speak, Lynn asked if he could put the air conditioner on.When the talk not around to the rookies. Phil opined that the Bruins Norm Johnson was not exactly top-notch (only not in those words)&ldquo;That&rsquo;s why we bought him from you.&rdquo; Patrick shot back. &ldquo;And I repeat, the Rangers are the best coached team in hockey.&rdquo;Phil then switched to a discussion of the Rangers poor start.&ldquo;It was just one of those things.&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Fortunately; New York fans are patient&hellip; not like those lousy, rotten fans in Boston. If there&rsquo;s justice in this world we will meet the Bruins in the playoffs, then we&rsquo;ll get our revenge.&rdquo;(There was a short pause whereupon Bruins coach Milt Schmidt entered.)&ldquo;Why didn&rsquo;t you use Johnson more often? &rsquo; Watson asked.&ldquo;You run your team your way and I&rsquo;ll run my team my way.&rdquo;&ldquo;That&rsquo;s no way to answer a question.&rdquo;&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; switched Schmidt, &ldquo;why don&rsquo;t you Rangers stop talking about buying our players and buy yourself a new time clock in Madison Square Garden?&rdquo;&ldquo;Listen Schmidt,&rdquo; said Watson capping the laugh riot, &ldquo;You run your clock your way and I&rsquo;ll run my clock my way!&rdquo; &#9632;

The more he has played the better he has played.Announced Milt Schmidt before the start of pre-season training. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll carry only five defensemen this season instead of six, as we have for the past two years.&ldquo;Some of the defensemen felt last year that they weren&rsquo;t getting enough work. So we&rsquo;ll see how they play with more work.&rdquo; One of those who felt he needed more work was Flaman. Technically the Bruins moved into November with six defensemen on their roster but one was the convalescing Doug Mohns. Another was young Larry Hillman. who was being used seldom.To all intents and purposes Schmidt was using only four defensemen&mdash;Bob Armstrong. Leo Boivin and Jim Morrison besides Flaman.Schmidt Calls Him BestHow did the Bruins&rsquo; coach like the play of his captain? Very much.&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never seen him play better in the early part of the season than he has this year.&rdquo; declared Schmidt, &ldquo;especially against Montreal. Ferny usually plays very well against the Canadiens but the first time they were here this season he played one of the best games I&rsquo;ve ever seen him play.&rdquo;Flaman shrugs off comments about his faster start with his customary lack of verbosity.&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been playing quite a lot and I like to play a lot.&rdquo; says the veteran of 13 major league seasons. &ldquo;If I&rsquo;m playing better this fall than last fall I guess that&rsquo;s the reason.&rdquo;Flaman has been elected to the National League&rsquo;s second all-star team three times in the past four years.In 1955 he was voted to a defense position with Bob Goldham, behind Doug Harvey and Red Kelly..In 1957 he was chosen with Bill Gadsby, Harvey and Kelly.Last spring he was named with Marcel Pronovost, behind Harvey and Gadsby.So since returning here from Toronto four years ago the stocky (5-9, 195) Bruins&rsquo; captain has ranked as one of the four best defensemen in hockey.In other years the second halt of the season has been the one paying off in all-star recognition for Flaman.This year he may also have a productive first half in the all-star balloting.Entered Boston at 15This year he may qualify as one of the two best defensemen in the business.Flaman has been playing hockey here so long that his age (31) is challenged frequently by skeptics. The soft-spoken native of Saskatchewan arrived here 16 years ago to play for a senior amateur team, the old Boston Olympics.But there is nothing phony about Ferny&rsquo;s age. He was only 15 when he came.In the years since Flaman has become something of a New England institution.He was here for the heyday of the old Olympics, when his teammates included Allan Stanley, Johnny Peirson, Paul Ronty, Pentti Lund, Harvey Bennett and Murray Henderson.When he first played for the Bruins they were being run by Art Ross and his teammates included Dit Clapper, Bill Cowley. Herb Cain. Johnny Crawford and Pat Egan.After the war he played with Woody Dumart. Bobbie Bauer, Hoy Conacher, Frank Brimsek and Schmidt.Besides Ross and Schmidt he has played here for Buck Boucher Funn patrick<h2>NHL&rsquo;s Heavyweight Champ</h2>Bruins have ever made was when they traded him away in the late fall of 1950, even though one of the returns was Bill Ezinicki. now New England&rsquo;s best golfer.One of the most popular deals they&rsquo;ve ever made was the one which brought him back in the summer of 1954.Flaman may not be underrated as a defenseman but his importance to the Bruins may not be realized fully. He&rsquo;s extremely valuable.&ldquo;Talk about effectiveness when you talk about Ferny.&rdquo; says his old sidekick Crawford, now coach of the Providence Reds. &ldquo;He can help a team in a lot of wavs.&ldquo;A defenseman&rsquo;s first job is defense and Ferny&rsquo;s good at it. He&rsquo;ll block a half-dozen shots a game. He&rsquo;ll take out a man in front of the net. He won&rsquo;t give the. puck away often.&ldquo;And if there&rsquo;s a cutup on the other team.&rdquo; added Crawford with a grin, &ldquo;he can usually be counted on to calm him down a little, too.&rdquo;Originally a forward. Flaman was made a defenseman by Hugo Harrington, an old pro who coached him with the Olympics. Most of the tricks of his trade are ones he has picked up himself. such as the shot-blocking method he copied from Bill Moe. a New York Rangers&rsquo; defeseman of the war era.Like all defensemen Ferny likes his scoring points, He was chagrined when he ran up a string of 86 straight games through last season. without scoring but he broke out with two goals in the same playoff game with New York last spring.Flaman insists he was never taught to fight and Anthony &ldquo;Rip&rdquo; Valenti-the Boston fight impressario who used to want has also included Tommy Collins and Tony DeMarco, is one who doesn&rsquo;t doubt him. Valenti thinks Flaman a natural fighter, hockey&rsquo;s Rocky.At any rate Flaman has stood for a decade as the National League&rsquo;s heavyweight champion, the Bruins&rsquo; marshall without a. badge.Says Crawford. &ldquo;He may not have a badge, but he has more notches than Matt Dillon.&rdquo; &#9632;

Tough Bruin Star Started As Forward, Switched To Defense

BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;Ferny Fla man&rsquo;s first fight here was featured by the headwork of Johnny Mariucci, Bruins&rsquo; Trainer Hammy Moore recalls.Flaman was 16 and playing for the old Boston Olympics when he tangled with Mariucci, former Minnesota football player and Chicago Black Hawks&rsquo; defenseman.&ldquo;We (the Olympics) were playing the Curtis Bay Coast. Guard team.&rdquo; related Moore, who trained the Olympics, &ldquo;and Ferny and Mariucci had? little bumping affair.&ldquo;I could see Mariucci biding his time to catch up with the kid and finally he saw his chance as Ferny went into the corner for the puck. Mariucci took off for him, but Ferny was watching him out of the corner of his eye. Justas Mariucci unloaded Ferny ducked. and, Johnny went head-first, into the boards.&ldquo;He finally got up steaming and, took off after Ferny, but by that time he didn&rsquo;t have much pep left. Ferny stood there with that same little grin he wears today until Johnny skated away.&rdquo;, &#9632;

First Hub Scrap Was In An Exhibition With Mariucci

Capt Ferny Flaman of the Bruins has been much busier than Floyd Patterson, the heavyweight boxing champion, since returning here in the fall of 1954.Here is Flaman&rsquo;s ring record for the past four seasons.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-01301/1688233-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg" title="f0003-01" width="508" height="834"></div>In the Bruins&rsquo; opening game this season Flaman had a fight with Andre Pronovost of Montreal, Pronovost receiving a five-stitch cut over his eye. Flaman was given a major penalty for high-sticking and he denies vigorously that the cut was caused by his stick, still insisting that it was the result of a punch. &#9632;

Flaman’s Ring Record In NHL

BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;Ferny Flaman has a business sideline which is hardly in keeping with his reputation as a bruising defenseman.It is the designing of hockey dolls, teddy-bears dressed in uniforms of National League teams.Flaman produced his first doll, a Boston Bruins teddybear, a year ago. So well was the model received that this season he has designed dolls representing the other five major league teams. The teddy-bears are sold at major league rinks and by mail order &#9632;

Off-Season Business? He Is Designer Of Hockey-Dolls

BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;After 13 seasons in the National League Ferny Flaman still finds his named booled about, both written and orally.Flaman pronounces his name as if it were spelled FLAH-mun (Flah as in flat).But in New York he hears himself called Fla-MON and in Toronto he is billed as FLAY-mun.Here in Boston it was years before it was discovered that his last name was not spelled Flamon and some sportswriters still insist on calling him Fernie in print.Flaman uses Ferny as his proper name. Thus in the telephone directory he is listed as Ferny C. Flaman. &#9632;

There is the one in which the boys approach their work with a grimness that bodes no good for the next team they will play.There are the boys who look upon it as necessary chore, without humor, thing to be done because it must be done and &ldquo;let&rsquo;s get it over with.&rdquo; And there is the relaxed practise in which horseplay and little nonsense is mixed with practise which accomplishes its object to improve the timing of the team and the individual skills of the players.The hockey Leafs were at practise in the Gardens and man with sharp eye could find clue to one reason why this isn&rsquo;t winning team. One line would go in on defense and goaltender, make its play and go back up the ice to let another defense have crack at it. Sometimes, if the play misfired, they struggled behind the net to get the puck out so that someone would get second crack at it.The man who pursued the puck and the object&mdash;to score&mdash;to the bitter end each time his line, went in was Bert Olmstead. To Olmstead there seemed to be some purpose to the practise.Olmstead is 32 years of age and in his 13th season as a professional. He has played on three consecutive Sanley Cup teams, the Montreal Canadiens. Correctly, one may refer to Olmstead as an Told pro,&rdquo; a term which is hackneyed through overuse, but has a meaning all of its own. It means that this man comes to the rink to play hockey&mdash;whether it be a practise or a game.There were other hockey players out there with the same idea in mind, but to a lesser degree. There were still other players who have a greater facility for putting the puck into the net than has Olmstead. It was ridiculous to watch some of them. A shot, a wheel-about and back up the ice. That the shot whanged into the back boards or sailed harmlessly over the net seemed not to disturb them. They had done their chore for that moment and it was enough. It was enough for players with considerably less skill than Bert Olmstead, although that would not be enough for Olmstead.You may see those same players play a game against the world champions, the best team in hockey, in the same manner as they practised. And you will see Bert Olmstead play as he practised, full out as he has played every game this year.There was, near the end of the workout, a period in which every player lined up at centre ice and took a lone dash at Johnny Bower. Very few scored, probably because the majority felt that by taking a shot they had done their chore in that respect. But, at the other end was Ed Chadwick, the other goalie. And. while the players waited their turn to shoot at Bower, another player was taking solo rushes and shots at Chadwick until it came his turn to go the other way. He was imHe was George Armstrong, the team captain. Maybe that is the reason he is the team captain. The Leafs management this year hoped that the mixture of veterans with their young the team. It hasn&rsquo;t seemed to impress the less talented members who need it the most. There seems to be any number of players on this Leaf team who are going along for the &#9632;

Some Leafs Are Just Along For The Easy Ride

<div class="byline">By MILT DUNNELL Toronto Star</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0004-08" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-08106/1688437-1-eng-US/f0004-082.jpg"></div>A Rolls-Royce Can&rsquo;t Play Left WingTHE rich get richer and the poor get pizza&hellip; and the Habs, who needed help like Carter needs a liver pill, trot out a couple of hot-slots named Ralph Backstrom and Alvin McDonald. If you were making a list of all the people whom Santa Claus could brush off with one of his deepest belly laughs, the first name you&rsquo;d write down would have to be that of Montreal Canadiens.. Yet, in Backstrom and McDonald they appear to have the sharpest pair of freshman shooters to hit the grand circuit of shinny this season.The Habs must meet all the trains&mdash;and sit around the bus stops watching for runaway boys with their clean socks wrapped in a bandana and slung over their shoulder on a hockey stick. The Habs take them in. thereby saving them from the pool halls and the pin ball academies. It pays off. Almost any kind of Habs is worth more than a Roll-Royce on the open market. An outstanding Hab would bring more hopecks than you could carry in a laundry basket. That&rsquo;s what comes of being lucky.Mr. Frank Selke. Sr., who sat by, without raising a finger, while his assassins murdered our Leafs at the Gardens last week, confessed there was an element of luck in the prospecting business. He meant prospecting for hockey nuggets&mdash;not gold ones. It has been his experience that if you dig up the shinny nuggets you can&rsquo;t hold back the flow of money.&ldquo;Regarding Backstrom, for example. I guess you&rsquo;d say we were lucky that Bummer Doran, an old hockey player, told us, there was a kid at Kirkland Lake who looked like a find,&rdquo; Mr. Selke admitted.The rest was easy, you presume. Having confirmed the report, all that remained was to send Master Backstrom a ticket, find him a boarding house and wait for him to grow into a Habitant.<h2>Out of the Ruckus Came Backstrom</h2>&ldquo;THERE was a little bit more to it than that&rdquo;, Mr Selke said patiently. &ldquo;One of the Boston junior clubs had drafted Backstrom, apparently. We maintained we didn&rsquo;t have to recognise the Ontario draft. Sam Pollock (overseer of Canadiens&rsquo; farm clubs) brought Backstrom to Montreal. We developed him with our junior Canadiens. There was quite a row about it.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-09101/1688430-1-eng-US/f0004-092.jpg" title="f0004-09" width="244" height="377"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jimmy Skinner</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-1086/1688423-1-eng-US/f0004-102.jpg" title="f0004-10" width="256" height="386"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bill Gadsby</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-1158/1688416-1-eng-US/f0004-112.jpg" title="f0004-11" width="260" height="402"><figcaption class="caption-body">Tommy Ivon</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-1232/1688409-1-eng-US/f0004-122.jpg" title="f0004-12" width="270" height="384"><figcaption class="caption-body">Tom Johnson</figcaption></div>For McDonald&rsquo;s background, Mr. Selke required some assistance from Pollock. He knew that the rangy leftwinger had been described to him as a full-blooded Indian playing for St. Boniface, Man., juniors. McDonald had belonged to some other pro club. There must have been some hitch that put him in the public domain so Canadiens could grab him.Pollock filled in the details: &ldquo;McDonald was on of three kids on a team which Eddie Shore sponsored. The others were Cecil Hoekstra and a boy named Leo Konik, who never turned out to be much of a hockey-player&mdash;good football player, though. When Shore dropped the sponsorship, the players were available.&rdquo;So Backstrom and McDonald, a couple of plums, dropped into the Forum basket. And for the price of a cup of coffee.&ldquo;No quite,&rdquo; Mr. Selke corrected. &ldquo;We spend $200,000 to $250,000 per year on our farm system. The purpose of that expenditure is to develop players like Backstrom and McDonald. Some of them don&rsquo;t turn out that well, you know. Nor do we get all the players we hear about.&ldquo;A few years ago, we heard of a boy named Mahovlich. We found out Toronto had the inside track, so we laid off. It isn&rsquo;t possible to get all the players. But if any club other than Toronto had been the one we had to outbid, you can bet we&rsquo;d doubled the price, if necessary.&rdquo;That&rsquo;s about all the Habs would need to make the league a complete shambles. Mahovlich is getting so good he looks like a Habitant.He was George Armstrong, the team captain. Maybe that is the reason he is the team captain. The Leafs management this year hoped that the mixture of veterans with their young the team. It hasn&rsquo;t seemed to impress the less talented members who need it the most.

Speaking On Sport

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div>BOSTON. Mass.&mdash;Harold Cotton of the Boston Bruins has nominated one of his discoveries as a model for the thousands of young&rsquo; hockey players of limited natural ability in the United States and Canada today.Cotton&rsquo;s nominee as the object lesson for youngsters is the National League&rsquo;s goal-scoring leader, Jerry Toppazzini.No other major league hockey player, maintains the Bruins&rsquo; famed chief scout, has come farther with less natural ability than has Toppazzini.&ldquo;Any boy of limited ability who wants to be a big leaguer can look at him and hope,&rdquo; declared Cotton, &ldquo;because there aren&rsquo;t many boys with less natural talent than he had.&ldquo;When I first knew Toppazzini he was an ugly duckling if there ever was one. He couldn&rsquo;t stickhandle or make a rush without tripping over the blueline. He couldn&rsquo;t stickhandle and he couldn&rsquo;t score. But he wanted to be a hockey player.&ldquo;It has taken him a long time to make up for his lack of natural ability but he has done so through his own efforts. Today he&rsquo;s one of the best players in hockey, a brilliant stickhandler, a fine scorer and good skater.<h2>Now On Top</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-04170/1688513-1-eng-US/f0005-042.jpg" title="f0005-04" width="568" height="576"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jerry Toppazzini</figcaption></div>&ldquo;For young players who don&rsquo;t. have much natural ability going for them,&rdquo; added Cotton, &ldquo;he&rsquo;s a fine example.&rdquo;Cotton&rsquo;s ugly duckling, who came back last season after having his face smashed to score 25 goals and came back in the Stanley Cup playoffs after an eye injury to score nine goals more started like a whirlwind this fall.The spaghetti-legged right wing scored six goals in the Bruins&rsquo; first five games to take an early team lead in that department.Topper Is Pace SetterWith Toppazzini for a pace-steer the Bruins&rsquo; offense showed definite improvement over last season in the first three weeks. The team&rsquo;s scoring average for that period was in excess of three goals per game, as compared to an average of less than three for last season.Nevertheless. Coach Milt Schmidt continued to assemble and break up forward lines, disrupted early anyway by injuries to Larry Regan and Bronco Horvath.Schmidt kept Fleming Mackelt and Toppazzini together as center and right wing respectively on one line and played Johnny Bucyk and Vic Stasiuk as the wings on another. The other forwards he moved around frequently.In the process the Bruins performed some astounding scoring feats.They came from three goals behind in one game and four goals behind in another to tie the New&rsquo; York Rangers.They unloaded a three-goal period on the Chicago Black Hawks.They spotted the Montreal Canadieus two goals in Montreal, then scored five goals to win.One of the scorers in Montreal was Leo Boivin, the stubby defenseman who hadn&rsquo;t made a goal in nearly two years, ln that time Boivin ran up a string of 53 games without scoring. &#9632;

Baldy Nominates Topper As Model To Backward Kids

TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;A recent threat by Assistant General Manager George lmla It of the Toronto Maple Leals to demote Dick Duff, Frame Mahovlich and Billy Harris to Rochester drew a laugh from New York Rangers&rsquo; Coacu Phil Watson recently.&ldquo;I got a laugh out ot Imlach talking about demoting Dick Duff. Any time Leafs want to get rid of Dick, well give them the waiver price of $15,000 plus another $25,000 and it&rsquo;d be a bargain because Duff is worth more than $40,000 to any NHL club&rdquo; said Watson. &#9632;

Rangers Have $40,000 For Duff Anytime Leafs Reaay

<div class="byline">By STAN HOUSTON</div>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Ron Stewart has given Toronto M a-ple Leafs a Reay of hope.Erupting for four goals in four games, the &rsquo;26-year-old right winger has corroborated Billy the Coach&rsquo;s conviction that his forwards need only some priming before they start pumping goals.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01322/1688482-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="264" height="422"><figcaption class="caption-body">Billy Reay</figcaption></div>&ldquo;That first goal is always the hardest and every player starts pressing for it when it doesn&rsquo;t come quickly,&rdquo; maintains Reay. &ldquo;Once it does arrive, the pressure is off and the player reacts like he was another man. Stewart is a perfect example of this.&rdquo;As listless as any Leaf through those three losses with which Toronto opened the campaign. Stew did indeed emerge as a hustler after he first scored. Adhering to his wing, he began utilizing his exceptional skating prowess in faster breaks and so counted those tour goals in as many games.&ldquo;You would think someone had struck a needle in him the way he suddenly took off,&rdquo; Reay notes. &ldquo;From the moment that first puck went in, he caught fire. Now that he&rsquo;s underway, he&rsquo;s playing better than ever.&ldquo;He&rsquo;s sticking closer to that wing than before&mdash;why he used to drift in 20 feet from the boards. And he&rsquo;s skating like he should and breaking like&rsquo; he should. As a result he&rsquo;s the one man we have who is scoring.&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the same shot in the arm that our other players need. They can&rsquo;t get started.&rsquo;Leafs&rsquo; inability to get underway has been painfully evident in their first seven games. They have required an average of more than 17 shots on goal to produce a single score and consequently have lost five of their first seven engagements while making opposition goaltenders look great.<h2>Takes Off Suddenly</h2><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-02292/1688475-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg" title="f0005-02" width="1089" height="1432"><figcaption class="caption-body">Ron Stewart</figcaption></div>Yet Stewart&rsquo;s value through this crisis was not only in his serving as an example of Reay&rsquo;s faith in the tonic of goal. The veteran of six NHL seasons also did a commendable job of easing the seriousness of Toronto&rsquo;s right wing problem.Considered by some observers as Leaf&rsquo;s best defenseman after he played portions of the past two seasons at the blueline, Stew originally had been scheduled to alternate between the wing and defense as emergencies demanded. But Toronto&rsquo;s abundance of defensemen and dearth of. right wingers has made hint a full-time forward instead&mdash;and the most successful on the club.Nevin Fails To JumpBob Nevin&rsquo;s inability to make the great leap from junior hockey with Marlbo-ros into the National League and Barry Cullen&rsquo;s prolonged knee injury created the shortage on right wing. To combat the probeni, Reay converted Frank Mahovlich, who had already played the other two forward positions, while attempting to negotiate a deal for help.<h2>Leafs&rsquo; Star Takes A Handoff</h2><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03227/1688468-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg" title="f0005-03" width="1647" height="1267"><figcaption class="caption-body">President Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League, left, presents the Calder Memorial Trophy to the 1957-58 rookie-of-the-year.

Other Leals who have been are Frank (Photo by Turofsky.)</figcaption></div>As other clubs showed a reluctance to leap at Leaf trade bait or make available anyone who could help and as Mahoviich failed to prosper on right wing, only Stewart eased the pain.&ldquo;Now Ron is stuck with the job.&rdquo; kids the coach. &ldquo;He has performed better than anyone else on right wing and I plan on keeping him there for the balance of the season instead of alternating him.&rdquo;Even while Stewart was ca mouflaging this Maple Leaf crisis, he was weathering a greater crisis at home, as his nine-nionth-oll son. Robert, underwent a serious and delicate brain operation.It was the same night as Ron emerged from his slump that his youngest son was rushed to the hospital.Believed to have recovered from a skull fracture sustained in a fall from his crib three weeks earlier, the baby hemorrhaged and was rushed to hospital for surgery even while his father was triggering the two goals that ended Leafs&rsquo; losing streak and brought a 3-2 win from Boston Bruins, Toronto&rsquo;s first win of the campaign.Contacted by the doctor as the game ended. Stew was left behind when the team pushed on for Detroit and a Sunday date with Red Wings. But when Leafs skated onto the ice at Detroit Olympia that next evening, the six-foot Stewart was on hand, having flown into town to play..&ldquo;He showed a lot of guts just getting there for the game while the results Of the operation still weren&rsquo;t known,&rdquo; commented assistant manager Punch Imlach. &ldquo;And he showed a lot more by being one of the few players we had who made an effort in the game itself.&rdquo;As young Robert passed the crisis and began a speedy recovery in the coming days. Stew continued to show progress. He set up Dick Duff for the winning goal in Leafs&rsquo; 3-0 conquest of Detroit in his next game and authored both Toronto goals in a 3-2 loss at New York the following night.To capitalize on the Stewart streak, Reay inserted Ron&rsquo;s line, with Dick Duff on left wing and Billy Harris or Rudy Migay at centre, into his power play, replacing the team&rsquo;s big line of Dave Creighton, Bert Olmstead and George Armstrong. Those last two goals of Stewart came off the revised power play, with pointman Frank Mahovlich setting up both.&ldquo;Stewart is the one man we have who has found the range so far.&rdquo; says Reay. &ldquo;But just you watch and see it they don&rsquo;t all snap out of it the same way.&rdquo; &#9632;

Stewart’s New Fire Hoses Down Reay’s Burning Problem At Right

<div class="byline">By BILL WESTWICK</div>In The Ottawa JournalPunch Imlach came up with a rather curious &ldquo;beet&rdquo; in Toronto the other day. The new Maple Leaf assistant manager criticized the National League waiver rule for its failure to permit a big league club to send a player to the minors without first giving another club a chance at him.in this instance, the forthright Imlach, labelled three of the Leafs&rsquo; players as rating demotion to the minor leagues in what he suggested would be a disciplinary action. Imlach maintained that a major league club was at a disadvantage in being forced to keep players whom &ldquo;they knew were dogging it&rdquo;.To suggest, as Imlach does, &ldquo;that you can t run a hockey Club without having a protected list, is an admission, or rather a charge, that simply doesn&rsquo;t ring true. And what about the players&rsquo; interests? What about a situation in which a club head decides on his own that a player is &ldquo;dogging it&rdquo;? And what of a ease when a club head decides that punitive measures should be taken against a player for a reason entirely unrelated to &ldquo;dogging it&rdquo;?A SAFEGUARD FOR PLAYERSIt would seem a most retrograde&rsquo; step for a league that has had its share of criticism in past years, to revert to a system in which the hockey player is at the mercy of any club official who may want to sentence him to the minors. The waiver rule has a two-fold purpose: it guarantees that if his own club wants to demote him, the latter is entitled to a chance to play with any other team that wants him. In short they just can&rsquo;t pick out a reason for banishing him to the minors, and keep him there.Some hockey players may probably tell you this has been done. But there&rsquo;s usually two sides to some of these stories, and in the meantime the waiver rule is a safeguard that is justified. After all, club officials, including presidents or managers, can be open to the same charges which they may throw at their players.PLAYERS WOULDN&rsquo;T PERMIT ITImlach&rsquo;s charge that a hockey club can&rsquo;t be run unless it can banish its players to the minors is extremely weak. And it appears utterly ridiculous in the light of his added remark that he wouldn&rsquo;t submit the players he has in mind to the waiver list for the reason another club &ldquo;would snap them up&rdquo;. If players are good enough to be &ldquo;snapped up&rdquo; by opposing teams at a waiver price of $15,000, they don&rsquo;t belong in the minors. If other clubs think they are that bad there&rsquo;d be no question about it. They&rsquo;d simply let them be consigned to the minor leagues&mdash;and leave them there. There&rsquo;d be no question about the hesitancy shown by Imlach to place them on the waiver list.It&rsquo;s a safe bet now that the NHL players have an association, they wouldn&rsquo;t submit to any such breaking down of protective barriers as that suggested by the Toronto official. And it&rsquo;s doubtful if the league would, as the saying goes, want to make something of it.If a pro club feels that one or more of their playing personnel is not putting out, they have the means of taking some action. But the way of attacking such problems surely can&rsquo;t be taking a bad step that would hurt the league, would be tan-tantamount to sending somebody &ldquo;to Siberia&rdquo;. &#9632;

John Reed Kilpatrick, president of the Rangers and chairman of the board of Madison Square Garden, said there likely would be extra police protection at the big arena the night the Russians play, to prevent any untoward incidents from occurring.Reaction to the announcement of the Russian visit produced generous headlines in the New York press. Most papers ran by-lined stories which got greater play than the Ranger news of the day. However, it is questionable how New York fans will react to the test since this will be the first amateur hockey game at the Garden since the New York Rovers bowed out of the Eastern League in 1951-52.It is expected that a majority of hard-core Ranger fans will turn out for the game as well as the usual curiosityseekers. Estimated attendance is 12,000. &#9632;

Reds To Play U.S. All Stars At Madison Square Garden Jan. 1st

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div>NEW YORK. N.Y.&mdash;Bill Chadwick, former number one NHL referee, returned to the hockey wars in New York today and immediately predicted a second-place finish for the Rangers.Currently general manager of the Pine Hollow Country Club, in a Long Island suburb. Chadwick has launched a revival of peewee hockey for local youngsters, the first kids league in New York since 1950.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-02276/1688623-1-eng-US/f0006-022.jpg" title="f0006-02" width="275" height="436"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bill Chadwick</figcaption></div>The man who learned his hockey right here in New York will manage, coach, recruit and referee players from 10-16 five days a week at an outdoor artificial rink in New Hyde Park, LI. Chadwick says Muzz Patrick will permit Ranger players to visit the new loop as instructors. And, speaking of the Rangers, this is how the ex arbiter sees their chances:&ldquo;I like &rsquo;em for second because the club is no worse than it was last year and that was nextbest to Montreal, Bill said.&ldquo;If you examine the players they lost and consider the newcomers, you have to agree that the Rangers will do the same or a little better.&ldquo;Everybody is crying they lost a lot in Dave Creighton because he was a 20-goal man. For my money, Creighton wouldn&rsquo;t have done a thing for New York. He&rsquo;s over the hill and couldn&rsquo;t possibly match last year&rsquo;s record.&rdquo;Chadwick scoffed at the thought that rookies, Eddie Shack, John Hanna. Earl lngar-field and Les Colwill would have a hard time filling the shoes of Creighton. Danny Lew-icki, Guy Gendron and Jack Evans.&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t be silly.&rdquo; Chad remarked. &ldquo;They lost absolutely nothing when Lewicki was picked up. As for Evans, he was a good policeman hut as a defenseman he was a pole. The. kid. Hanna, will be his equal right off the bat.&rdquo;It was suggested that with Evans&rsquo; experience lost and Bill Gadsby-getting on in hockey year?, there would be wop on Watson s backline.&ldquo;Nah,&rdquo; Bill passed it off. &ldquo;Gadsby is like Doug Harvey. He doesn&rsquo;t really get older or slower. He&rsquo;s just smarter&hellip; and he&rsquo;ll ge as good as last year&rsquo;s. Don&rsquo;t worry, the Rangers are good for second.&rdquo; &#9632;

Chadwick Sees 2nd Place Finish For Phil’s Blues

BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;The Boston Bruins are ready an I willing to contribute to a collection to buy a new hockey clock for Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Rangers.Contribute, that is, if the New York management will replace the present oddity with an orthodox clock.The New York clock is the only timepiece in the National league which runs backward. Where other clocks show time elapsed, the New York-curio.shows time remaining.The Bruins, bothered and bewildered by the clock in the past, ran into fresh trouble on their first visit this fall. The backward clock conked out with five minutes to play in the first period. Then the buzzer signifying the end of the period sounded some 47 seconds ahead of schedule&mdash;right in the middle of a. Bruins&rsquo; rush.Said Milt Schmidt, speaking for his annoyed players, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think there&rsquo;s a place in hockey for a cuckoo clock. I&rsquo;ve always heard that it&rsquo;s impossible to turn time backward, but the Rangers seem to have done it.&rdquo; &#9632;

Rangers Have Turned Time Back With Clack, Says Milt

<div class="byline">By MILT DUNNELL</div>In The Toronto StarTORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Out of the wreckage of Hurricane Habitant came the corpulent figure of Turk Broda. The Habs scarcely had finished washing the blood of Leafs off their hands, following Wednesday nights annihilation of the innocent, ere the make-Broda-coach lobbyists began unfolding their campaign banners. In case there are those who regard this as the birth of a new radical party, it&rsquo;s advisable to dip into off-season history.The fat man&rsquo;s friends (or enemies, depending on how you feel about the job of coaching the Leafs) attempted to hoist him into the hot seat last summer. Their argument was that the Turk should know the position from top to bottom. The time was opportune because Leafs were on the bottom. In addition, they asked: &ldquo;What does Broda have to do to earn promotion?&rdquo;Although Billy Reay had finished the season with the first cellar team inLeaf history, he wasn&rsquo;t blamed for this new glory in reverse. The Broda boosters favored the election of Reay to the post of general manager. There&rsquo;s no recorded vote to show how strong the Broda sentiment was among the Silver Seven, supreme council of shinny at Maple Leaf Gardens. Some of them definitely favored Broda. They lost the decision.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-03187/1688678-1-eng-US/f0006-032.jpg" title="f0006-03" width="530" height="872"><figcaption class="caption-body">Turk Broda</figcaption></div>Then Punch Imlach was hired as a second assistant general manager. There was no attempt to conceal the fact that Reay and Imlach had been placed in a match race for the vacant office of general manager. This changed the outlook of Reay. If Broda moved in, Billy no longer was assured of promotion. Which brings the past, up to the present.?Broda&rsquo;s bandwagon has been oiled up again. Some of the same cabinet ministers who shilled for him last summer are in favor of putting him behind the Leaf bench now, while the Torontos are still able to see the other five teams without the aid of a telescope. Leafs looked so terrible Wednesday night that Reay was exposed like a duck in a swimming pool to all calibres of shooting irons.Too Many Mexican StandoffsFortunately for Reay, he still has Stafford Smythe, head man of the hockey politburo, in his corner. Smythe is not shouting unqualified testimonials for Billy, but he does say it wouldn&rsquo;t be right to remove Reay without first establishing some clearly defined lines of authority in the front office. The way it is now, too many issues have ended in Mexican standoffs. Smythe cites one or two of them.&ldquo;Imlach decided (Steve) Kraftcheck was too slow for this league,&rdquo; Staff recalled. &ldquo;He was ready to send Kraftcheck to Rochester. Reay apparently didn&rsquo;t agree. He decided to play Kraftcheck. Imlach let Billy have his way. Hindsight is always easier than foresight. It looks now as if Kraftcheck should have gone to the minors. In the meantime, we could have tried Noel Price or somebody else. By now we&rsquo;d have known whether Price could have helped us up here. As it is, nothing is decided except that Kraftcheck doesn&rsquo;t seem to be fast enough.&ldquo;Another case was that of Willie Marshall. He was assigned to the Rochester club but declined to go. That meant he couldn&rsquo;t help us here. But the other night (against the Habs) he winds up on our ganging act.&ldquo;My experience with Reay is that he will argue a point, but if the decision goes against him he will do everything he can to carry out that decision, just as if he had been for it in the first place. He and Punch work well together, but when they disagree there&rsquo;s got to be some deciding voice from now. I&rsquo;m going to make those decisions. The only thing that would bring on a change of coaches would be for Billy to resist that kind of authority. If he took that attitude&mdash;and I&rsquo;m sure he won&rsquo;t&mdash;the fat man would be on the scene in 10 minutes.&rdquo; &#9632;

Turk Bandwagon Bring Oiled For ’Turk For Coach’

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div>CHICAGO, III.&mdash;The mixture of an ex-Maple Leaf, a former New Yorker and a charging NHL sophomore has given the Black Hawks their biggest sting against the champion Canadiens in a long time.Coach Rudy Pilous was bouncing forward line combinations around like kernels in a hot pop corn machine after the Chicago squad, undefeated in its first four efforts, then shifted sorrowfully into reverse and lost four straight. AU members of the team were fined $100 each for &ldquo;indifferent play.&rdquo;This was after a 9 to 1 shellacking administered by the Canadiens at Montreal October 23. Two days later the club released considerably more fight, but still lost to the Hangers in a TV game at Madison Square Garden, fi to 2. Shuffling the players around once again seemed liked one of the last hopes.Among the altered sets created by Pilous after close work with General Manager Tommy Ivan was a unit that found the bard working soph, Bobby Hull, placed between wingers Eric Nesterenko and Ron Murphy, late of Toronto and the Rangel club respectively.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-01344/1688723-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="297" height="458"><figcaption class="caption-body">Eric Nesterenko</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02311/1688716-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="262" height="391"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bobby Hull</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-03239/1688709-1-eng-US/f0007-032.jpg" title="f0007-03" width="270" height="407"><figcaption class="caption-body">Ron Murphy</figcaption></div>This change and several others seemed to be working out fine when the Habs and Hawks met for a return date at Chicago&rsquo;s Stadum October 28 and the hungry host, squad galloped into a 2-0 advantage after the first 20 minutes. Hull potted the second goal., assited by Murphy, at 10:18.Things then returned to the pattern of recent weeks, however as the Canadiens roared through a fast second period and came out of it with a 3-2 lead. They added two more goals in the first part of the last stanza as the cheererg for the early 2-0 Chicago lead began shaking their heads in bewilderment.?At this point entered, however, the Sting mentioned in the first paragraph as toted by Messrs Hull. Nesterenko and Murphy. It&rsquo;s doubtful that even they knew the power of what they were carrying when Murphy narrowed the Montreal margin to 5-3 at 14:05 of the third period.The flashy trio began getting the idea of what might happen no less than 40 seconds later when Hull rifled the puck at Jacques Plante in the Canadien cage. Several skaters were at the mouth of the cage and the only Hawk in the scuffle, Murphy, somehow still managed to deflect the puck past Plante.As if two goals against the world champs in less than a minute weren&rsquo;t enough, Hull then snipped the game equalizer into the visitor&rsquo;s net the next time the new line was hurried back onto the ice by Pilous. The tying marker came at 17:19. His teammates mobbed the happy Hull.It&rsquo;s doubtfull that anything like 7,185 spectators at the Chicago Stadium will ever again make as much noise in approval. The game ended a few moments later with the 5-5 result as the ovation, particularly bent at Nesterenko. Hull and Murphy, continued noisily.Murphy&rsquo;s efforts netted him two goals and two assists. For Hull it was the same story while Nesterenko was credited with assists and all three of the scores in the frantic four-minute span in the last period. Murphy&rsquo;s counters were his first this season.Hawks Played Well Down Centre&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll gladly take that point.&rdquo; said Pilous after the deadlock as he found reason to smile for the first time in over two weeks. &ldquo;It was really a pretty darn, good hockey game and particularly for the fans with the rally,&rdquo; added Ivan who also seemed rather pleased.&ldquo;Look here at the scorekeeper&rsquo;s record on the faceoffs in the game,&rdquo; exclaimed Rudy with new vigor. &ldquo;We got the draw 49 times to seven for them. Hull beat his man, 15-4; Sloan won out 18 to 2, and Kenny Wharram got eight out of eight.&rdquo; he pointed out.Pilous has placed strong emphasis on the importance of getting the puck from faceoffs this season. &ldquo;And that Wharram really works,&rdquo; he said in appraisal of the ex-Buffalo stalwart who was playing his first game at center in over a year. Kenny had been a right winger before.Substantially less satisfied with the tie were the Habitants who have seldom found themselves on the wrong end of a comeback. The result moved the Hawks from a dingy fifth place into a tie tor second with Detroit, Boston and the Rangers as the new sting &#9632;

Hull, Murphy, Nesterenko Haul Hawks Out Of Fire

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div>BOSTON. Mass.&mdash;When the Boston Bruins lost Doug Mohns with an injury last month for a tentative period of five weeks they were stripped of a triple-threat defenseman.1&mdash;Mohns took a regular turn with Capt. Ferny Flaman as his partner.2&mdash;He played the left point on Bruins&rsquo; power plays, his blinding shot and rushing ability making him a strong threat ou offense.3&mdash;He was a heavy duty defenseman when the Bruins were short-handed and particularly adept at skating the puck out of his own zone.Mohns is probably the fastest skating defenseman in hockey. His speed is his greatest asset.Thus the Bruins have been counting themselves fortunate that they have been able to substitute adequately for their 24-year old star.The substitute: Jim Morrison.In late September Morrison was with the Rochester Americans, a farm team of the Toronto Maple Leafs. His future with Toronto, the team for which he lias played for seven years, was dubious.In early October the Bruins obtained him by trading the solid veteran Allan Stanley. Morrison moved into a spot on the Bruins&rsquo; bench.But when Mohns was injured October 18 Morrison moved off the bench and into his place on the ice. where he has been ever since.<h2>Fits In Well</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-04182/1688754-1-eng-US/f0007-042.jpg" title="f0007-04" width="513" height="846"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jim Morrison</figcaption></div>Fortunate in having him? The Bruins were also far sighted. They thought he would fit. into their pattern so they traded for him. Why?&ldquo;His speed, his experience, mostly his speed,&rdquo; replied Lynn Patrick, Bruins&rsquo; manager., &ldquo;He may not be as fast as Mohns but he can move. Especially can he move out of his own zone with the puck.&ldquo;When Mohns was hurt and out for six weeks a year ago (also broken jaw) we suffered badly from a loss of team speed. I was thinking of getting insurance against a repeat of that development when I traded Stanley for Morrison.&ldquo;This fellow has been doing a pretty darned good job, probably as good as anyone could do under the circumstances. He, may not have the two-way abil ity Mohns has&rsquo; but neither has anyone else, and what he does have has certainly, been helpful.&rdquo;Milt Schmidth. who had been expressing satisfaction with the general conduct of his defensemen regularly this fall, cited Morrison for a meritorious performance after Jim&rsquo;s first full game as Mohns&rsquo; substitute.Said the Bruins, coach. &ldquo;He has been one of dur more consistent players, giving me plenty of hustle all the time he&rsquo;s&rsquo; out there. As he gains&rsquo;confidence in our style of play he should look even better.&rdquo;Morrison came here accompanied by the customary stories about his status in Toronto. Boiled down, they were that he had been out of favor (&ldquo;in the doghouse&rdquo;) with the Toronto management for the past several seasons.A more practical sizeup of his relationship with the Maple Leafs is that where his greatest asset, like Mohns, has been his speed he just didn&rsquo;t fit snugly into their playing pattern.He has been fitting into Mohns&rsquo; niche as the business associate of the rugged Flaman. however.Schmidt, who likes to stress team praise, hasn&rsquo;t been at all reluctant to pat his other defensemen on their collective back. Bob Armstrong, Leo Boivin and Flaman have all been complimented by the coach. Their steady play has been keeping young Larry Hillman on the bench except for occasional spot appearances. Hillman, 21, has been sought by the New York Rangers, according to numerous stories in the New York papers. A year ago at this time Patrick said the muscular blond was not available for trade or sale. &#9632;

SchmiddyHappy OverMorrison’s Speed And Fire

NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;Don&rsquo;t shed any tears for Phil Watson and his Rangers. He&rsquo;s not crying.&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not crying,&rdquo; said Phil. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m happy that we&rsquo;ve managed nine points in 10 games. The way the experts were talking last June. I didn&rsquo;t think we&rsquo;d have one by now. Montreal, Chicago and Toronto thought they had knocked us out of the park with that squeeze-play they used to bag our players at the draft meeting.&ldquo;They had Muzz (Patrick) and I sweating for a while because we had to go with kids. But now, they&rsquo;re doing the sweating and we have $90,000 to grab anybody they try to waive out of the league&mdash;and I mean anybody.&ldquo;My kids are playing very well. Gump (Worsley) and Eddie Shack were marvelous in defeat at Detroit. What a first period that Worsley turned in.&ldquo;Before the game I said to Shack: &lsquo;I want a man-size job from you tonight, you&rsquo;re checking Howe.&rsquo; And, he came right back with: &lsquo;You picked the right guy for the job.&rsquo;&ldquo;What&rsquo;s more important, that cocky so-and-so turned in a great job against big Gord. It wasn&rsquo;t until I decided to spell him with Prentice that Howe broke loose for a goal. But. he didn&rsquo;t get one while Shack was on patrol.&ldquo;Everybody is touting Canadiens&rsquo; Ralph Backstrom for the rookie of the year honors. He&rsquo;s a fine prospect but I&rsquo;ll stick with Shack. He&rsquo;s strong like a bull and improves, every game.&ldquo;When I see Shack pushing his check around, it reminds rue of Schon I was in the league and Milt Schmidt used to push me around. He used to tower over me at those faceoffs and really gave me a hard time. I think Shack will do that to the other guys.&ldquo;Jimmy Bartlett has been almost as good as Shack. He loves to mix it and can take care of himself. Earl Ingarfield is going to he a top centre. What the heck, they&rsquo;re all good nd none are for sale.&rdquo; &#9632;

Managed Points In 10 Games” Phil “I’m Not Crying, Pm Happy That We

BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;The Boston Bruins bosses Lynn Patrick and Milt Schmidt are the only pair of National Leaguers who use other NHL clubs to develop players for them. Their arrangement with the other NHL clubs is somewhat similar to the relationship between the New York Yankees and Kansas City Athletics in baseball&rsquo;s American League.The Bruins parted with Fern Flaman, then brought him back from Toronto. They did the same with Leo Boivin and Jim Morrison. They parted with Real Chevrefils to Detroit ond then brought him back and they let Jerry Toppazzini go to Chicago and Detroit, before buying him a return ticker to the Hub.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03243/1688878-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="260" height="410"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jerry Toppazzini</figcaption></div>While they have oil performed admirably, it must be said that Toppazzini has given Patrick ond Schmidt their greatest satisfaction since he returned. He showed little in Chicago, even less os a Wing. He was shipped to Chicago in 1953-54 and then on to Detroit in 195556. He stayed with the Wings for less than a season before Patrick decided that he was good enough to bring home.Toppazzini hasn&rsquo;t let Patrick down, either. No player has more heart, or has given more to the gome than this game guy who has battled opponents and the injury jinx equally as hard.In all of his pro career&mdash;it stretches back to 1951-52&mdash;he has only completed one full season. That was in 1954-55 as a member of the Hawks. His greatest season, up until last year was his first in pro company when he scored 20 goals as a member of the Hershey Bears.It was last season, after being injured in Detroit, when he had his face smashed into a pulp the season before, that the good natured &rsquo;Topper&rsquo; really came into his own. Playing on a line with Mackell and McKenney, he scored 25 goals in 64 games and added 24 asists for 49 points. To boot he scored nine goals in 12 playoff games.This season Jerry is proving that his last was no fluke. Often colled the team&rsquo;s sparkplug by Schmidt, Toppazzini has carried the biggest share of the Bruins&rsquo; load this season.In the club&rsquo;s first dozen games he has scored nine goals. Last week he sparked the Bruins through five straight gomes without a defeat. They won four and tied one and jumped to within one point of the Canadiens.Toppazzini scored three goals and added an assist for four points in five games. He scored a goal in three of the five gomes and emerged as the league&rsquo;s star of the week. &#9632;

The elevation of Clapp, who has been with the Amerks since their beginning in the fall of 1956. was announced by General Manager Paul Bibeault.With Clapp assuming many of the duties Bibeault had been doing, the G.M. now will be free to travel with the club for more of its road games.Prior to joining the Amerks. John served in baseball as business manager of the Hornell Dodgers in the Pony League in 1955 and was assistant to the general manager for the Rochester Red Wings of the International League in 1956.ICICLES&mdash;Bo Elik, rookie of the year in the AHL two seasons ago while with the Cleveland Barons, scored his first goal of the year for the Americans in the 5-3 verdict over Springfield. Elik had been kept at home for the first-half of a four-game road trip when Rochester officials voiced their displeasure with his showing in earlier games But his play in the Springfield tussle showed marked improvement, and Elik may be an important factor in what success the Rochester club does have. &#9632;

Americans Chase Foe Out Of Home Yard, Fail On Road Ice

<h2>Ken Schinkel&hellip; &hellip; Springfield Indians</h2>SPRINGFIELD. Mass.&mdash;There aren&rsquo;t too mony professional, or amateur hockey players for that matter who can boast a week&rsquo;s work amounting to nine goals and five assists. But little known Ken Schinkel of the Springfield Indians can.Schinkel, who will be 26 comes the 27th of this month, has been playing pro hockey since 1953-54. Except for a 22 goal season back in 1956-57 he has never done anything to make NHL scouts sit up and take notice. At least not until he came to life last week.Out of nowhere Schinkel moved into the top spot in the American League&rsquo;s scoring race. He has scared 13 goals and 11 assists for 24 points in 13 games. That&rsquo;s more than he scored in the complete 70 gome schedule last season, when he notched only 11 goals and 27 assists for 38 points.Playing on a line with veteran Horry Pidhirny ona Jim Anderson, Ken, who tips the scales at only 163 pounds, scored four goals and added two assists as the Indians, scored a 14-5 decision over the Cleveland Borens on October 29th.On October 31st against Providence he scored two more goals and added another pair of assists. On November 1st against the Buffalo Bisons he picked up another pair of goals and once again matched them with a pair of assists. Then on Sunday night against the Hershey Bears he picked up two more points on a goal and an assists. In four games during the week he picked up the amazing total of nine goals and five assists, an average of better than three points per game.Schinkel hails from Jansen, Saskatchewan and is a right winger. Most of his career has been as a member of Eddie Shore&rsquo;s organization in both Springfield and Syracuse. &#9632;

CLEVELAND, O.&mdash;The Cleveland Barons, short of defensmen have picked up Bob Robertson from the Providence Reds.Robertson will replace Georges Bouchard who was-injured recently.The Barons&rsquo; new defensemen hails from Islington, Ontario. and is 30 years old. The Barons mark the third AHL Club he has performed with.He turned pro with the Pittsburgh Hornets in 194950 and played briefly with Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast League. He was rein-, stated as an amateur in 195152 and joined the Ottawa Senators of the old Quebec Senior League. He turned pro again with Providence, in 1954 1955.&lsquo;We&rsquo;re really hurting at defense. and I&rsquo;m sure Bob will help us. I&rsquo;ve always considered him a good hockey player,&rdquo; said Barons&rsquo; Caoch Jackie Gordon. &#9632;

Barons Pick Up Robertson From Reds For The Defense

<div class="byline">By JACK HORRIGAN</div>BUFFALO. N.Y.&mdash;Larry Wilson, who recently celebrated his 28th birthday, is the &ldquo;old man&rdquo; of the Buffalo Bisons&mdash;but only in the point of service to the team.The hustling blond center is wearing Bison colors for the fourth American League season.And, from the way Wilson is going, it may well be bis best, as a goal scorer, not that Larry has ever been very far down the list of Herd snipers.His three-year average is 29 red bulb lighters with a high of 39 for the 1955-56.But Wilson always has been plagued by being a slow starter in the goal-getting department.&ldquo;I remember when I first came to Buffalo from Chicago, it took me six or seven games to get that first goal,&rdquo; he recalled.A check of his scoring game-by game showed that Wilson never had more than three goals in Buffalo&rsquo;s first eight games&mdash;the point in the schedule the Herd has reached at this writing.Centering a line with Dick Gamble on his left and Eddie Kachur (since Wally Hergeshei-mer&rsquo;s departure for New York) on the right wing, this season. Wilson has struck for seven scores in eight games.&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know why they&rsquo;re going in,&rsquo;&rsquo; Wilson grinned after his second two-goal performance of the campaign against Rochester, &ldquo;but they are and I only hope it. stays that way.&rdquo;Wilson&rsquo;s initial two goal night came at the expense of ex-Bison Gerry McNamara, who now guards the nets of the Cleveland Barons.McNamara, however, came up with fine saves three times when Wilson was gunning for his &ldquo;hat trick.&rdquo;&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always had trouble scoring on Gerry,&rdquo; Larry explained. &ldquo;Even in practice last year, I&rsquo;d be sure that I had him beat and he&rsquo;d kick it out, I guess I should be content that I got two past him.&rdquo;Herd Happenings As the Bisons dropped their first game of the season, a 1-0 loss to Hershey. ex-Bison Jack McIntyre sustained a shoulder injury in a collision with Capt. Ivan Irwin. The Bisons&rsquo;. Billy Dea and Jack Bownass also picked up three-stitch cuts in the brow in the heavy going&hellip; Although Buffalo scored eight goals on Rochester&rsquo;s Gerry McNeil in two games. the one-time NHL puckstopper played outstandingly well&hellip; Coach Bobby Kirk of the Bisons is perplexed by inability of the Herdsmen to score on their power plays. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll have to try and experiment and break up regular forward lines if we don&rsquo;t get some goals&rsquo; off the power play,&rdquo; Kirk comment.Knocks &rsquo;Em In<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-02315/1689057-1-eng-US/f0010-022.jpg" title="f0010-02" width="528" height="856"><figcaption class="caption-body">Lorry Wilson</figcaption></div> &#9632;

A Slow Starter, Fast Start Even Puzzles Wilson

<div class="byline">By JOHN TRAVERS</div>HERSHEY, Pa.&mdash;Gerry EhmanCoach Frank Mathers isn&rsquo;t the least bit awed by the powerful Bisons, who without argument, appear to be the club to beat for the American League flag.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-03268/1689088-1-eng-US/f0010-032.jpg" title="f0010-03" width="271" height="442"><figcaption class="caption-body">Gerry Ehman</figcaption></div>Buffalo, stacked with ex-National Leaguers and a couple of other young players who are NHL border line eases, ran off a string of seven straight wins before being whipped.The first outfit to hang one on Buffalo j was, you guessed it, Mathers and his Hershey&rsquo; Bears. Furthermore. Hershey accomplished the feat in Buffalo s backyard, scoring a 1-0 shutout behind the fine goal tending of BobbyPerreault. In this one Perreault went, all the way as Gil mayer, who had been platooning in the nets with Perreault, complained of a knee ailment.Mathers, in case anyone has forgotten, piloted Hershey to both the league and Calder Cup titles last season. And the 33-years-old mentor is confident his charges can repeat again no easy&rsquo; task, to say the least.Perhaps what has injected more confidence info Hershey&rsquo;s ranks is that Bears now have Dune Fisher and Gerry Ehman in its ranks.Both were secured from the parent Detroit Red Wings and the two Star forwards add up to a potential 81 goals.Fisher, wheeled and dealed on Hershey&rsquo;s crack line of Willie Marshall and Obie O&rsquo;Brien last year, potted 41 goals from his right wing position last season. That handy dandy teat paced the loop&rsquo;s goal scorers.In the meantime, Ehman was popping in 4.0 goals for (he Springfield Indians, who shocked the circuit by taking Hershey to six games in the Calder Cup finals after a poor start.&ldquo;I certainly feel we have the material in this Hershey team to repeat &rsquo;, said Mathers. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got more balance in the forward lines, our defense is good, and we&rsquo;ve got two fine goal tenders.&rdquo;What has pleased Mathers is that he&rsquo;s getting scoring balance in his lines, a good indications of overall stability, a necessary&mdash;requisite for a championship outfit.<h2>HOWIE YANOSIK A BIG SURPRISE</h2>One of the biggest surprises in the Hershey club has been the defensive play of Howie Yanosik, welter weight backliner. Yanosik. as defensemen come and go. could pass faster for the club&rsquo;s mascot.The young skater is small, reaching about 5-10 if he stands on his loes. He packs about 160 pounds, stick and all.But what has been his biggest asset has been the will to play-heart as it&rsquo;s known among athletes. The rookie back-liner has a ticker about the size of the building he skates in&rsquo;.Larry (The Rock)Zeidel. a veteran of the game, claims Ya-nosik gives &ldquo;everything he has while he&rsquo;s on the ice.&rdquo;&ldquo;You have to admire the guy.&rdquo; said Zeidel. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s in there pitching every minute. He wants to stick with us the worst way. He will. too. if he keeps up his play.&rdquo;Mathers admires Yanosik to no end &ldquo;For a little guy he gels the job done. I have been very pleased with his work.&rdquo;Business manager Baz Bastien, who as a pint sized goal tender, was one of the best until an unfortunate accident cost him the sight of an eye. also is in Yanosik&rsquo;s corner.&ldquo;I doubted very much for awhile if he could get the job done, but he has shown us he wants to play in this league.&rdquo;Another point that has made Mathers happy has been Hershey&rsquo;s defensive play when a man or two short via penalties.Through the first eight games, the Bears didn&rsquo;t relinquish a goal while shorthanded. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s the sign of a checking, hustling club. Penalties a year ago were getting us in hot water. So far we&rsquo;ve been able to kill &rsquo;em off. That&rsquo;s very important.&rdquo;Mathers admits Buffalo is the club to worry&rsquo; about in the pennant race.&ldquo;Were not looking past the rest of the league.&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;but Buffalo is the one to lick. I know it. The team knows it. But I think we can do the job.&rdquo;Come the end of the March. the answer will he supplied. &#9632;

WESTERN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By AL OSTROM</div>SEATTLE, Wash.&mdash;Guyle Fielder, whose hockey future was in jeopardy as result of his refusal to report to the Toronto Maple Leafs this fall, not only has g-alloped off to a sensational scoring start in the Western League, but also has tied the all-time assist record.Playing with Val Fonteyne on left wing and rookei Tommy McVie on the right side the other night against Edmonton, Fielder chalked up two assists&mdash;his 430th and 431st in league play.This put him in a tie for this coveted record with Eddie Dorohoy, of Calgary, who also holds the all-time WHL record for total points&mdash;673.Oddly enough, Fielder&rsquo;s record-tying achievement came on the same night that Bill Davidson, a close personal friend, broke the league record for playing in the most consecutive games&mdash;497.Going into the fourth week of play the Seattle Totem center had amassed 18 points on four goals and 14 assists to remain atop the individual scoring column. Two other Totems, Don Chiupka and Bill MacFarland, follow with 14 points.Jackie McLeod, who has been spearheading the Saskatoon Quakers&rsquo; drive is the leading gun in the Prairie Division with two goals and nine assists for 11 points. Jackie, however, is one of only four Prairie snipers among the top 18 scorers in the WHL. The individual scoring including games of Oct. 26th, was dominated by Coast players.Fielder&rsquo;s fast start becomes slightly incredulous when it is pointed out that he is pulling double duty this season. It&rsquo;s not that he hasn&rsquo;t always seen more than his share of time on the ice, but this year he also is a working man.While not playing, practicing or traveling, Fielder pulls down a shift with a Seattle electrical firm, and also attends school two nights a week.<h2>New Goal Looms</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-01375/1689157-1-eng-US/f0011-012.jpg" title="f0011-01" width="521" height="860"><figcaption class="caption-body">Guyle Fielder</figcaption></div>&ldquo;My golf is suffering,&rdquo; said Guyle, &ldquo;but the double duty apparently isn&rsquo;t bothering my hockey. One good thing about keeping you busy you don&rsquo;t have time to fret and fuss about bad passes and shots that hit the pipes.&rdquo;The play-maker acknowledged that had it not been for Staff Smythe of the Maple Leafs he might not be doing so well in Seattle, both on the ice and off.&ldquo;They could have suspended me,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;for not reporting to the Leafs, but. instead Mr. Smythe gave me the best break of my life. I&rsquo;m really grateful to him.&rdquo;The Totems, already the recognized power in the Coast Division, picked up added strength when they acquired goalkeeper Bev Bentley from New Westminster in a trade that saw defenseman Pete Wright come out of retirement and report to the defensive-weak Royals.Billy Tibbs, who had a respectable 3.34 average in six games, was released. Bentley checked into Seattle with a 5.99 mark and immediately set the flashy Edmonton Flyers down. 3-1, in his first game for the Totems.Other changes around the league saw Vancouver picking up Gary Blaine from Saskatoon and Edmonton welcoming back Don Poile from Hershey. In return the Flyers sent Chuck Holmes to the Detroit Red Wings.Max Mekilok checked in at Spokane, last year&rsquo;s former rookie of the year in the Quebec League picking up a pair of points in his first game.. Up in Calgary, Gus Kyle is still wheeling and dealing. He sent Fred Hilts to the Juniors and Cliff Bristow to Kelowna, then got Jack McKenzie last year&rsquo;s OHA scoring ace, and Ron Quenville from the Black Hawks and Bill Hay from the Regina Pats.Veterans Pete Kapusta and Bill Mosienko finally put the &ldquo;win&rdquo; in Winnipeg. The two old pros engineered a Warrior victory on their home ice after four straight losses..Victoria&rsquo;s Stan Baluik was the WHL&rsquo;s &ldquo;player of the week&rdquo; with six points, and teammate Al Nicholson, with Springfield last year, wasn&rsquo;t far behind with five.Victoria customers saw a stick-swinging episode when their Don McLeod and New Westminster&rsquo;s Pat Hannigan went after each other&rsquo;s scalps. The sticks failed to inflict any damage on their intended victims, but the Royals&rsquo; George McAvoy was nailed on the forehead. McLeod and Hannigan each received notice of: $50 &#9632;

Fielder Ties All-Time Assists Record In WHL

<div class="byline">By FRANK ORR</div>CORNWALL, Ont.&mdash;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-01369/1689212-1-eng-US/f0012-012.jpg" title="f0012-01" width="284" height="445"><figcaption class="caption-body">Sid Smith</figcaption></div>The Eastern Division Senior OHA teams have played the first week of the 1958-59 schedule and the clubs appear to be evenly balanced and a hotly contested race is promised the fans around the league.Every club won in the first week. There were no big scores and even the Allan Cup champions. Belleville McFarlands found the going a little rough as they lost their first games and just squeaked through to edge Ottawa-Hull Canadiens 5-4 for their first win.The Whitby Dunlops grabbed a pair of opening wins to take first place and they loom as a contender for top honours and from their first weekend performances could be stout opposition for Belleville in the race for first place.However the other three teams in the league gave indication that the loop bad no patsies in its makeup.Kingston walked into Belleville to open the season and the &ldquo;new-look&rdquo; Merchants whipped the Macs in convincing fashion 6-4. Cornwall Chevies, who didn&rsquo;t win a game on the road until January last year, visited into Kingston and dumped the home team 4-2 with a good display.Ottawa-Hull, with their oldest players on the club at 23 years old beat the Chevies 3-1 in the league opener and then fired 50 shots at the Belleville net before losing 5-4 in the third period.Whitby beat Belleville 5-1 in their opener and the Dunlops spoiled the home debut of the Cornwall Chevies by taking a 6-4 decision in a real crowd pleaser.Kingston attracted the largest opening night crowd, 3,017, for their game with Cornwall.The Whitby club showed that they are just as good as last year with their powerful tore-checking game&rsquo; and a defence that must he the best in senior hockey. Bob Attersley hopped off into the league scoring lead and gave indication that he will be hard man to dislodge from that spot.Fred Etcher, who missed last season with a broken leg, moved into the big left wing spot with Attersley and right winger George Samoleuko. The line clicked immediately. Sid Smith showed that he still knows where the net is as he potted three goals against Cornwall.A big surprise in the Whitby club has been the sparkling play of centre &ldquo;Whitey&rdquo; Youngberg. Youngberg was with Kingston last year but received his release at the end of the season. He asked Wren Blair for tryout with the Dunlops and made the club in camp. He has surprised everyone with his hustling play.The Dunnies &lsquo;big three&rsquo; on defence, Ted O&rsquo;Connor, Harry Sinden and Alfie Treen still are around and they are joined by John Chaszewski to form a top corps&rsquo;. Long John Henderson is one of the best in the nets:The other Dunnie speed merchants, Gordie Myles, Torn O&rsquo;Connor, Sandy Air, Pete Babando and Jack Kane round out a solid forward brigade.The Belleville club have failed to impress in the early going.Their team has failed to click in any way and according to Wren Blair, of Whitby, a noted authority on world hockey tournaments, will need strengthening. In a talk with Blair, this writer was told &ldquo;Belleville has added some players to their club but they are not of the calibre to win the championship again. Last year in Whitby we added some players at the start of the season and then had to get more new ones in November when our club wasn&rsquo;t strong enough. Belleville will have to do the same but where are they going to get them. Lou Smrke will help them a lot but some of the other additions are not the type. They need players of the JeanPaul Lamirande, Connie Broden, Jack McKenzie calibre.&rdquo;The Macs were successful in landing defencemen Al Dewsbury and Rags Raglan two veteran pros. Dewsbury was picked up on waivers by a pro club and Belleville secured him from there.The Macs were not so lucky in the Frank Bathgate case. The high scoring forward has been suspended by the OHA. Bathgate played with Windsor last season and was the fourth highest scorer in the OHA-NOHA series. This year Bathgate was dealt to Sudbury tor defenceman Lennie Speck. Bathgate however joined the Belleville club stating he would not play anywhere else. Murph Chamberlain of Windsor would not grant Bathgate his release so the OHA had no other alternative but to suspend Bathgate. &#9632;

EOHA Shows Well Balanced League After One Week

TIMMINS, Ont.&mdash;Fans of the Porcupine Mines League Senior A greeted an old friend last week as Rev. Les Costello, now a Roman Catholic priest returned to active service. Father Costello, now 31 has joined the Timmins-Schumacher Flyers as a right winger.Father Costello, who graduated from the juvenile ranks in this area and went on to star with Toronto St. Mike&rsquo;s of the Ontario Junior A League, and helped them win two Memorial Cups, played with the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL at the age of 20. He was a member of the Leafs&rsquo; 1947 Stanley Cup team.Rev. Costello is a curate at the Church of the Nativity in Timmins. He received a great ovation when he took his first turn on the ice. However, he failed to figure in any of the scoring as the Flyers were beaten by the Abitibi Eskimos 6-4. &#9632;

Rev. Les Costello Returns To Ice Lanes In Timmins

<div class="byline">By HY ZIMMERMAN</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0012-02" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-02292/1689267-1-eng-US/f0012-022.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bill Davidson</figcaption></div>SEATTLE, Wash.&mdash;In all the lore of liniment, in all the annals of arnica, never was there a one like Bill Davidson.When the fragile-looking Seattle Totem defenseman straddled the blueline against the Edmonton Flyers on Oct. 26 he broke the Western Hockey League record for consecutive games&mdash;and he has never been injured.The record of 496 games without respite was held by Bobby Love, former New Westminster center. But Bobby&rsquo;s 5-foot-7-inch frame was padded by 170 pounds. Davidson&rsquo;s 5-11 skeleton almost shows through his 160 pounds.Davidson&rsquo;s endurance and escape from harm is the more remarkable in that often he carries a double burden. He is somewhat of a puck professor and when his club signs a rookie defender, it is Bill&rsquo;s job not only to teach him the trade but to cover up his mistakes.That takes extra skating and Bill, not the world&rsquo;s best skater, does it by sheer effort.The picture of Bony Bill, hustling after a puck with his teeth clenched in desparation, is a familiar one to Totem fans.But his unobtrusive efficiency has given him a lasting quality ever since he broke into the league with the Tacoma Rockets in the season as a Rocket, he became a Seattle Bomber and a teammate of Guyle Fielder.So admiring of Fielder was Bill, he named his little boy, born here four years ago, Guyle Davidson.Seattle peddled Bill to Victoria the following season and Bill was a Cougar for three sea sons. Last fall, Keith Allen retrieved him in the trade for Eddie Dorohoy.<h2>Injuries Are Foreign To Him</h2>All that adds to seven seasons of 70 games each. Since Bill won&rsquo;t be 29 until November 19, there&rsquo;s no telling what it will take to get him out of there.When he does put away his skates, Bill will return to his plumber&rsquo;s job in his birthplace, Souris, Manitoba, a suggestion of a town just north of North Dakota. Souris also is the birthplace of another legendary Seattle blueliner, Danny Sprout, now an affluent Seattle restauranteur.Congratulated on his new record. Davidson said:&ldquo;Gee. thanks a lot. But I&rsquo;d like to be in there a while longer. especially on this team. It&rsquo;s terrific.&ldquo;It seems all the fellows started out in real good shape this fall. I&rsquo;ve never felt better.&rdquo;Son who needs arnica? Or liniment? &#9632;

Gray has the erect bearing on his runners, seldom adopts a crouch and appears to be deadpan no matter how rugged the going. The only time he really emotes is when he embraces one of his linemates who has scored.Gray glowed three times like this while his veteran partner, Skippy Burchell, was fashioning the hattrick in a game against the Chicoutimi Sagueneens. The tall youngster appears to hold the Skipper in high regard. When Terry does something special on his own hooks he shows little concern.In Quebec City, Joe Crozier and Phil Renaud are making a pitch for greater acclaim to their wonder boy. and another product of Montreal&rsquo;s open air rinks. Roger Dejordy. DeJordy is just one of the fine batch of youngsters the Boston Bruins have dispatched to the Ancient Capital. Pete Panagabko, Bill Forham and Bob Blackburn are some of the others along with John Uttendale, rangy boy from out Edmonton way, who was tried as a third member of an all-Negro Line with Billy O&rsquo;Ree and Stan Maxwell.As so often happens with a young fellow in hockey, the scouts and talent essayors don&rsquo;t agree that Dejordy will develop into rich lode paySammy Pollock of NHL Canadiens organization who knows every kid who can skate more than two blocks around Montreal, and few leagues more in every direction, was decidedly lukewarm about DeJordy, but the Quebecers who are calling and paying for his education in hockey&rsquo;s finishing school, as the QHL has so often been called, like the boy.DeJordy also gets plenty &ldquo;reccomend&rdquo; from Art Lessard, who once played on the back division for the NHL Habs, but late years has been sports director in Montreal&rsquo;s thriving independent suburb, St. Laurent, in fact it was Lessard&rsquo;s persistence that won over GM Crosier to give DeJordy close scrutiny. The kid scored 38 goals in the Metropolitan (Montreal) Junior League at the Forum last winter. He&rsquo;s five-feet-ten and 175 pounds while just over the junior age limit.Frank &ldquo;King&rdquo; Clancy, Toronto Maple Leafs ambassador of goodwill is to be the guestspeaker at the annual whingding of the Sportsmen&rsquo;s Association of Montreal at Sheraton Mount Royal Hotel, December 2.This is an affair when athletes within a 50-mile radius of Montreal are given trophies and scrolls.

He has operated in both Quebec City and Chicoutimi and is well aware of the tough struggle independent clubs face &ldquo;to get off the nut&rdquo; in these troubled times, for minor league sports promoters.What with television, world series, and the concentrated interest held for the fall baseball classisc, pro football, and extended harness racing seasons Renald believes the competion is too strong the second week in October when the QHL has been accustomed to get going in recent years.&ldquo;In Quebec we are playing to large areas of empty seats in the Coliseum when the people are streaming into the race track across the way on Sunday afternoons. In Chicoutimi there is a large section of the. public that goes hunting so long as the fine weather lasts.&rdquo; says Renauld.Teams More PatHe believes that now that all four clubs in the Quebec circuit have backing for NHL clubs, each QHL team could get along with one exhibition game with a major league team in its rink, before the minor pros get going. Then when the parent NHL team is ready to cut its roster, the Quebecer Leaguers would be starting out with a line-up quite close to that which is to represent the club for the season&rsquo;s run.In recent years most QHL-ers have been opening with patchy squads. There are players who are to be &ldquo;cut&rdquo; and sent back to amateur ranks, because the NHL sponsors above are in no hurry to make their &ldquo;cuts&rdquo; and dispatch players to the QHL clubs in turn.&ldquo;It would be better if we were pretty sure of our teams&rdquo; insists Renauld. &ldquo;We&rsquo;d have the benefit of an extra two weeks publicity as the press and radio fellows speculate on players we are to get, and we&rsquo;d likely get more space and radio time in our own localities because the heat would be off from the NHL which is already rolling and what&rsquo;s almost of as much importance, football would be on the wane and the public would be thinking more of hockey and we could be organized for big opening nights or Sundays like the baseball clubs do each spring&rdquo;.There would be a two-week saving in salaries all along the line of course, though Renauld hasn&rsquo;t stressed this angle. In some cases there might be a little bit of a haggle, because the NHL teams that waive out a man might have to carry him a few days longer that was originally contemplated.The thinking in the past by QHL club executives has been to be content with meagre crowds in the early games. The notion has been that the players are getting into top condition at the same time drawing some revenue, and building up interest that pays off in bumper attendance later on.When his attention was drawn to the fact that a 6 4-game schedule, or even a 62 game set-up would not be completed before the third week in March unless a mid-October start was made, Renauld didn&rsquo;t flinch one step.&ldquo;All right! Then let&rsquo;s play 56 games&rdquo;, he said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll miss those games in October when we don&rsquo;t draw any people anyway, and in Quebec we won&rsquo;t be smarting under, the embarrassment of looking at people, streaming into the race track&rsquo; when we play on Sunday afternoons, to empty stands.&ldquo;Why they even park their cars on the lots close to the. rink, before going to the sulky races&rdquo; he concluded with a grimace. &#9632;

November Start For QHL Is Advocated By Phil Renauld

<div class="byline">By CHICK APPEL</div>STRATFORD, Ont.&mdash;Nobody but the most brash would even attempt to call the shot in the NOHA-OHA senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; series, when the competition is less than a week old, yet the dope is hardly running true to form. There were those who called Sudbury Wolves as the No. 1 team and Kitchener Dutchmen a close second, and that is the way they could wind up the schedule, but right now Chatham Maroons, under their new&rsquo; coach, Johnny Horeck. are perched on top of the heap after two straight victories over Kitchener Dutchmen aud Windsor Bulldogs by 5-4 and 3-2 counts.In the northern division of the combined group. Soo Greyhounds defeated North Bay Trappers 5-3 in the lone game played to date. Sudbury Wolves were slated to open the season against the Soo Greyhounds but were forced to cancel the game, because &ldquo;Peanuts&rdquo; O&rsquo;Flaherty encountered difficulty in signing his players and only had seven of them on the dotted line the day of the opener. The Greyhounds. in turn. Claimed the game by default, but the NOHA delayed action until after a meeting to be held shortly.It becomes quite evident that the six NOHA-OHO clubs intend to adhere to their agreement that the $1,750 weekly maximum salary will be strictly enforced, and this evidently does not meet with some players&rsquo; approval. It means that either the &ldquo;striking&rdquo; players will have to accept a reduced salary or sit the season out, because they could not catch on with the teams in the eastern Ontario group either, where the maximum weekly salary&rsquo; has been fixed at $1,550. Apparently the Okanagan Valley League, comprising four British Columbia teams, has adopted no salary limit, but before a Ontario player could sign with any of them a, release and transfer would have to be secured, and the brief announcement of the Ontario clubs is &ldquo;no dice.&rdquo;There is also a difference of opinion between the Windsor Bulldogs and the Belleville McFarlands over the services of Frank Bathgate, who quit Murph Chamberlain, Windsor pilot, to join Belleville without the benefit of a release. It was noticed that Bathgate did not play&rsquo; for Belleville in their three league games to date, yet he says he will not play for Windsor again, preferring either Kitchener or Belleville, with emphasis on the latter, probably because they are slated to travel across the big pond for the world tourney.<h2>Barking Bulldog</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01371/1689398-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg" title="f0014-01" width="514" height="628"><figcaption class="caption-body">Wally Pawlyshyn</figcaption></div>With players balking at salary terms offered and reinstated pros forced to sit out an entire season. Windsor Bulldogs, in particular are encountering plenty of woes. They have dropped their first two games to Kitchener and Chatham, the last one by a 7-3 count right on their home ice. Murph Chamberlain had his own troubles signing talent at the reduced tariff, but managed to ice a team in losing efforts against Kitchener and Chatham. Goalie Mary Edwards and center Lou Bendo were dissatisfied at the money offered them, but the latter came to terms, while the western Canada rookie, Danny Olsevich. donned the Bulldogs&rdquo; goal equipment.The Bulldogs are wanting on the rearguard. They have three well-balanced front lines, but only two defencemen. Elmer Skov and Lennie Speck. Bob Seymour, formerly of the Chatham Maroons, may join the squad, and in the interval Fred Hildebrand will be converted from a forward position into a spot on the blueline.As at present constituted, Windsor has Edwin Grosse centering Wally Pawlyshyn and Murray Costello on one line. Wally Maxwell between Joe Klu-kay and Bob Brown on a second, and Bendo pivoting the third trio with Garth Hayes and Doug Riseley on his flanks.Chatham Maroons have come up with seven new players, and could very easily be the dark horses of the league. The new players are John Bailey and Ron Rubic from the Soo, Gary Sharpe from Louiseville, George Aitken from Cornwall, Don McGregor from North Bay and Andre Morissette secured from Windsor in a swap for goalie Olesevich. Chatham holdovers include Ted Power, Jim Connelly. Fred Pietsch. &ldquo;Copper&rdquo; Leyte, Danny Blair, Bob Chevalier and goalie Don Head.Pete Palangio also had contract troubles with his North Bay Trappers, but managed to sign enough of them to play his first game, a losing 5-3 effort at home against Don Grosso&rsquo;s Soo Greyhounds. The Trappers had but three defencemen for that game in front of their new goalie, Ross Brooks. Don McLean potted a pair of counters for the Soo, Jim McBurney, John Lumley and John Offidani picking up the others. Ken Grib-bons, Tony Poeta and Bernie Cote were the North Bay marksmen.The Trappers thought they were losing Cleland Morison to the Scottish League, but the colorful winger evidently changed his mind about crossing the briny and is still with the Trappers, joining them last season in a player trade with the Soo Greyhounds. &#9632;

I&rsquo;ve got my release.&rdquo;The club owner, however, says that the release is not any good because he didn&rsquo;t sign it. And Tom Lockhart, president of the EHL and chirp Brenchley the Amateur Hockey Association as well, backs him up.&ldquo;Brenchley gave several players their written releases after he was let go, and apparently before.&rdquo; Davis said. &ldquo;All releases must be signed by me as club president and I didn&rsquo;t sign any of them.&rdquo;Lockhart, czar of amateur hockey in the United States agreed with Davis. He voided all the releases.&ldquo;It was obvious that Brenchley was trying to harm the team,&rdquo; Tom said. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s why I voided the releases. Besides, they were illegal anyway since Davis didn&rsquo;t sign them.&rdquo;Among those who received his written release was Billy Kurtz, standout winger, who no team would release.So, when all the smoke cleared after this bit of fireworks, it was settled that Rukavina was officially suspended and could not sign with any other team until after December 15.The thing which has made Rukavina. who is easily the most &ldquo;loveable&rdquo; player in the league, a holdout is not salary as such, since the Eastern League is an amateur loop. The obstical is $500 compensation.Rukavina is demanding that amount from the players benevolent fund. He suffered a shoulder injury and required an operation at the close of the season.&ldquo;It caused me to miss three months of work.&rdquo; Rocky said from his Kapuskasing. Ontario home. &ldquo;Under the arrangements of the players fund, which comes from playoff money.However, Davis has an answer for this. &ldquo;Rocky just never bothered applying for the money. How can the fund send him the money if he never asked for it officially?&rdquo;The Rock was also a little riled by some newspaper stories in which the Ramblers&rsquo; new coach Bougie Adam was quoted as saying: &ldquo;I think Rukavina would have a hard time making the team now anyway.&rdquo;&ldquo;If this is the case,&rdquo; said Rocky, &ldquo;then why are they calling me by long distance phone? Adam is a nice fellow&rsquo;, understand, but by talking that way he is only driving me further away.&rdquo;Davis concurs with Rocky on this point. &ldquo;Why would we invite him back if We didn&rsquo;t want him?&rdquo;Rocky has been keeping his ice legs by working out with bis hometown Kapuskasing Huskies. In the daytime he is employed &ldquo;slugging pulp&rdquo; in the woodyard of a paper mill.Rukavina said that he is expecting to be promoted to assistant millwright any day now, so if the Ramblers don&rsquo;t come through and meet his modest demands, he will stay in Kapuskasing, accept the promotion and spend his nights playing with the Huskies.&ldquo;But if the new job doesn&rsquo;t come through and I can&rsquo;t agree with Philadelphia, then maybe 1&rsquo;11 come down to the United States after the December 15 limit and try to book up with some other team in the Eastern League,&rdquo; Rocky said.&ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t like to do this, however.&rdquo; the most popular player ever to lace his skates in the Philadelphia Arena said, &ldquo;because my heart&rsquo;s with the Ramblers and those great Philadelphia fans.&rdquo;And Rocky can rest assured that the fans feel the same way about him. &#9632;

Hockey Crossword

<div class="byline">By CHICK APPEL</div>STRATFORD, Ont.&mdash;Canada&rsquo;s two hockey teams, scheduled to cross the Atlantic for separate tours, Kelowna Packers for games in Russia and Sweden next month, and Belleville McFarlands to compete in the world tournament at Prague, Czechoslovakia, early next year, appear to require some bolstering before they are strong enough to come through with victory.Of more concern, from the standpoint of the average Canadian. is, of course, the world championship, which Whitby bunnies regained from Russia this year. Belleville has added several proven players such as Al Dewsbury, Fiori Goegan and &ldquo;Rags&rdquo; Raglan, a. trio of experienced defencemen. and what they seem to lack is more scoring punch up front, judging by the reSults of three games they have played in their own eastern Ontario senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; group to date, of which they were only able to win one. a 5-4 verdict over the new Ottawa-Hull Canadiens. They have scored 10 goals and had 15 scored against them which is hardly up to the calibre of a team seeking the world title.Out west the Kelowna Packers are doing okay in their own group, but they are certain to meet with much stiffer opposition when they embark on the European trip for a six-game exhibition series, two in Sweden and four in Russia.Sid Smith, playing-coach of the Whitby Durinies, who regained the world title this year, was designated to give the Kelowna Packers the onceover and then report back to the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association as to the British Columbia team&rsquo;s strength for their hike across the pond, was unable to leave his work, and Jack McKenzie, Preston school teacher, was named as a substitute McKenzie, who played for the Kitchener Dutchmen in their unsuccessful bid for the world championship two years ago, and again last year when he accompanied the Whitby Dunnies across the briny for their successful bid for the honors, should be fully qualified to assess the Kelowna Packers who are said to need reinforcements.<h2>Screens Kelowna</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-03279/1689522-1-eng-US/f0015-032.jpg" title="f0015-03" width="512" height="860"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jock McKenzie</figcaption></div>Irvin Tennant, who jumped the Soo Greyhounds of the NOHA to join the Kelowna team, did not stay in the B.C. town long, returning to the Soo and then announcing that the Packers were not as good as the Greyhounds of last season who were reported to have had a &ldquo;sorry season&rdquo;.On the strength of Gordon Juckes, Melville, Sask, Canadian Amateur Hockey Association official, that the Kelowna Packers &ldquo;definitely need forward help.&rdquo; and the Packers&rsquo; request that Belleville McFarlands loan them a forward line, or in lieu of that, Winnipeg Maroons furwish them with three players, it would seem that Kelowna must add some talent if they are to make their European tour a success. &#9632;

Packers, Macs Need Bolstering Before They Sail For Europe

<div class="byline">By PETER TOMLIN</div>PENTICTON. B.C.&mdash;With two weeks of league play remaining before they leave for a three-week tour of Sweden and Rus sia.

They were conceded to be the power of the league before the season started and have wasted little time making good on their reputation.After the first week of OSAHL play, they are sporting a 4-0 won-lost record. They opened the season at Pentieton Thanksgiving Day by bouncing the V&rsquo;s 5-2. The following night they again beat Pat Coburn&rsquo;s V&rsquo;s, this time 6 3 in the opener at Kelowna. Vernon Canadians and Kamloops Chiefs played their first game in Kamloops Tuesday. George Agar&rsquo;s Canadians were winners by a 4-2 count.Friday night V&rsquo;s eked out a 5 4 win over Vernon at Pentic ton, while the Packers edged Kamloops 3-2 al Kelowna. In return games Saturday night, Canadians beat Penticton 6-2 in the first game of the season at Vernon and Packers coasted to a 6-3 win over the Chiefs at Kamloops.The win made four in a row for the Packers and left the rookie-laden Chiefs with an 0-3 record. Kelowna leads the league with 8 points, four more than the runner-up Canadians. Penticton is third with 2 points and the winless Chiefs are in the league cellar.Packet&rsquo;s, while they are having little trouble with OSAHL opposition, are having more than their share of player troubles. Two players quit the club in a huff during the first week of the season.First to go was Ivan Tennant. He packed his bags and left for home the day of the season opener. Two days later Gordie Cowan, with Toledo last season, departed. Cowan&rsquo;s explanation to newsmen was that he didn&rsquo;tthink he was good enough to make the team. Both Tennant and Cowan had been counted on to help fill holes left in the Kelowna lineup when defenseman Pat Coburn went to Penticton. Orv Lavell retired and forward Ray Powell retired.Packers are without the services of two more players. Defensemen Harry Smith and Bobby Bergeron are both on the shelf with injuries. Both are expected to return to action shortly, however.Vernon added two players to their lineup last week. They signed forward Ken Schautz and picked up forward Dave Wall, who was cut by Penticton. Kamloops added forward Red Bosscha, another V&rsquo;s cut. &#9632;

A two goal margin over St. Michael&rsquo;s was their poorest effort as they took Hamilton 5-2, Barrie 4-1 and Peterborough 7-3.At the time of writing Marlboros and Guelph were the only clubs Teepees hadn&rsquo;t hooked up with and Marlies were hard pressed to squeeze out a 1-0 decision over Peterborough and split a pair of games with Barrie. Biltmores have lost to three of the teams Teepees have beaten including a 16-2 shellacking at the hands of Petes This will likely be the season high or low (depending on your point of view). Wayne Connelly scored six goals in that one to take over the scoring leadership in the league.With the exception of St. Kitt&rsquo;s who thus far appear to be in a class by themselves the rest of the loop has been well balanced.Even Biltmores with only one point to show for their efforts in four games could move into fourth place with just one win.Bills followed up their massacre at the hands of Peterborough with a 6-1 setback to St. Mike&rsquo;s and immediately sent out an SOS for player help.They got three from Marlboros to start the shakeup. Dino Marcuse, a defencemail came to Bilts in exchange for Dave Chambers who&rsquo;ll play for St. Mike&rsquo;s. Marlies owed St. Mike&rsquo;s a player for Jack Martin. Defenceman Mike Donaldson, a top performer with Ottawa Shamrocks last season, and goal keeper Jacques Caron who played for Peterborough last year were bought for cash. Bilts were also contemplating a deal with Barrie Flyers and hoped to come up with a top rated Winnipeg defenceman from the New York Rangers organization.Biltmores player problems were further complicated when the OHA awarded forward Don Grosso to St. Catharines Teepees Grosso, who played with Bilts last season Was the centre of a controversy between the two teams. Grosso went to Guelph last season with the understanding that Biltmores would pay St. Catharines $100 for his services for a year and $400 if they wanted to keep him on a permanent basis. Biltmores failed to send St. Kitt&rsquo;s any money before the player deadline of December 15th. St. Kitt&rsquo;s received the cheque for Grosso after last hockey season ended but returned it to the OHA at the start of this one. To make the issue more confusing the agreement was &rsquo; of the verbal variety between the then General Manager of Guelph, Roy Mason and the then General Manager of St. Kitt&rsquo;s, Rudy Pilous. After one meeting failed Pilous and Mason were requested to attend another special meeting at which Pilous testified that Mason had told him last winter Bilts weren&rsquo;t interested in keeping Grosso. Mason although he didn&rsquo;t attend the meeting verified this and Grosso was awarded to St. Kitt&rsquo;s. Current Guelph executive claimed that they had decided at a meeting last winter that they would keep Grosso but didn&rsquo;t get around to sending Teepees the cheque.The confusion resulting from the deal did have one happy result for the entire league. The OHA enacted legislation that all future player transfers must be registered with the OHA outlining all details so that a similar circumstance will not occur in the future.Notes&hellip; Goalkeeper Normand Jacques has been a key figure in the improved showing of Barrie Flyers&hellip; In 5 games he allowed only 10 goals as Flyers registered three wins&hellip; Marlies rookie netminder Jim Cannon gave up only eight in four contests and had two shutouts&hellip; Ron Brain who topped.
