New Feuds Flare Up In Both OHA and NOHA Senior Loops
STRATFORD, Ont.— Right now the three southern Ontario entries in the NOHA-OHA senior “A” hockey group head their three rival clubs of the NOHA in the standing, and while the season is still young it could be that Kitchener Dutchmen, Chatham Maroons and Windsor Bulldogs finish that way. The NOHA clubs, especially Sudbury Wolves, encountered some grief, when the players struck for more money, in lieu of promised jobs, which were not forthcoming owing to the strike at the International Nickel Company, Sudbury’s only major employers. The strike forced the Wolves to postpone their opening league game with Soo Greyhounds, and to add to the woes the Soo now has asked the league to award them the game by forfeit. The reaction in Sudbury is that the three NOHA clubs should stick together…

The Black Hawks have seemingly found another powerful forward unit to go along with the trio of Ron Murphy, Bobby Hull and Eric Nesterenko who came into their own a few weeks ago with a startling splurge ‘against the champion Canadiens to earn Chicago a last minute 5-5 dead-lock. Newest sensations are three guys who have been parading their wares around the National Hockey League for a total of no less than 29 years—right winger Ed Litzenberger, starry ace now in his fifth year in the big time; center Tod Sloan, coming back strong in his ninth year, and plucky Ted Lindsay, now working into his 15th year in the, NHL.

SPORTSCRIPT
In The Victoria Times Metro Prystai has reservations about certain things. The number “four” is an example. But playing hockey again is not one of his reservations. The Edmonton Flyers’ winger, a veteran of 10 National Hockey League campaigns who suffered a broken bone in his left leg for the third time in less than a year, has no qualms about playing professional hockey again. The chunky forward has definite views on the matter. “Heck,” he said. “I’m too young to retire.” Ordinarily, hospitals and hospital rooms leave me cold But room 454 in Victoria’s Royal Jubilee had a cheery atmosphere about it on this particular October evening.
