Once Shorthanded, Philly Bench Now Well Overstocked
PHILADELPHIA, Po.— The Philadelphia Ramblers, who played the first half of the Eastern Hockey League campaign most of the time short handed, suddenly found themselves with two too many men. First of all they picked up defenseman Hugh Campbell from Washington in exchange for winger Billy Kurtz. In the same deal, the Presidents also agreed to send winger Vip Pallidi-no, last year’s playoff hero, along to Philadelphia in the event Kurtz agreed to the trade. After some hesitation and several days of maintaining that he was “not going to play for anyone else but Philadelphia,” Kurtz finally decided to join the Presidents. This move added Pallidino to the Ramblers roster. Then, Johnstown released Jerry Frizzell, one of the league’s top scoring defensemen in the past few years, and George Davis, owner of the Philly…

TORONTO, Ont.— Dick Duff and George Arm-strong will never; make as hilarious a partnership as Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello. But they nevertheless do a lot to cheer up the Toronto Maple Leaf hockey camp when they are together.

ON THE SIDELINES • WHILE THE BATTLE for survival continues in the Quebec Hockey League, with three teams, Three Rivers, Quebec and Chicoutimi in a desperate struggle to escape the cellar, more detached minds are commencing to consider some of the individual awards. Like the Northey Trophy that goes to the loop’s most able and productive rookie. Cellar tenancy at the end of the road brings more than usual gloom this season, because the fourth place team at the wind-up will be the only one to miss the playoffs. That means a couple of more weeks playand pay for athletes for the other three clubs who will participate in the round. robin series dreamed up by the OHL solons.
