Where To Get Help Is Billy’s Problem; Goes After Conacher
TORONTO, Ont.— Billy Reay, guillotined by the Leafs, is making the role of the headless hockey coach seem almost glamourous. How many shinny men who get the boot from a big league job wind up with an assignment to go barnstorming through Europe? Billy will make the safari with an actual increase in revenue.

The occasion was Chicago’s first exhibition test of the year and it fell in Peterborough — training ground this season for Toronto. It was also the initial exhibition game for the Maple Leafs whose candidates were also loaded with hope and expectations. Perhaps the skaters in the blue and white Toronto suits had more enthusiasm, desire or what have you… some said they were in better condition… there were those who lauded several.
