Lunde One Of Few Bright Spots For Slumping Detroit
DETROIT, Mich.— There are all too few bright spots about the Red Wings these days, but there is a nice new healthy glow coming from the direction of Len Lunde. Lunde is the raw rookie who popped up a few games ago as center between Gordie Howe and Alex Delvecchio on Detroit’s big line. So far no one has called the move a great success but neither is it being labeled a total failure. Lunde did not click instantly, but neither did he fail. In fact, he has a slight edge in the profit department after a shaky start. Pershaps it should have been expected, but the 22-year-old Edmonton product tightened up a bit under the initial pressure.

So many of the favorite citizens of this town have gone out and taken jobs as coaches of the opposition that one finds himself on the verge of screaming hurrah when the other guys get the goal. At the last count three of the six clubs were being coached by former stars of the Cleveland Barons, each of them an ultra-ultra popular person during their tours of duty on the shores of Lake Erie.
