STRATFORD, Ont.— Unless something akin to a miracle happens, it will be Chatham, Kitchener, Sudbury and Sault Ste Marie for the NOHA-OHA senior “A” playoffs. None of the money berths are certain, but Windsor, with but four games left to play trail the fourth-place Soo Greyhounds by five points, and the latter have seven games left.

The surprise was when Ullman hobbled up to the Detroit lockerroom on crutches, one foot encased in cast. Reason for the surprise: No one had heared word about Ullman being injured. The bewilderment came when Ullman appeared on the ice with the Wings and did all his hockey chores with efficiency and no show of injury. And then the astonishment — after the game, out of the club room came Ullman once again on crutches and his foot in cast. The explanation was simple one.
