Through last week (November 6), the team had gone winless in 10 straight games.</p><p>&ldquo;The question was brought to me and I can say without hesitation that the Hawks are certainly not underpaid. When we were talking contracts, not a single player came into my office that didn&rsquo;t leave satisfied. As a club, their pay is very near the top of the heap,&rdquo; Ivan reveals.</p><p>Listening with approval, owner Jim Norris clarified further, &ldquo;I know for a fact that our salaries rank second only to those at Montreal. This should remove any doubts that our slump is due to financial problems and yet they just aren&rsquo;t showing the desire&mdash;they&rsquo;re not hungry.</p><h2><b>Improved On Paper</b></h2><p>&ldquo;I still feel Chicago is the best town for hockey anywhere, but I can&rsquo;t tell you how ashamed I am. We have the material to be a contender. If we didn&rsquo;t feel this club had it, we would have a different attitude. I don&rsquo;t know what the real trouble can be.</p><p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know if there&rsquo;s a defeatist complex or if they are all knotted up or what. Tommy and I sit down here sometimes when we&rsquo;re losing and can hear the crowds cheering with each little hope for a goal or break. You&rsquo;ve no idea how much we want to give them a winner, but&hellip;&rdquo;</p><p>Ivan reviewed the situation further after stating, &ldquo;I want to go on record for the management right now&mdash;we&rsquo;re disgusted, dis satisfied and generally fed up. We have the same club that finished third last year with the exception of Danny Lewicki and Lorne Ferguson who got eight and seven goal respectively.</p><p>&ldquo;We figured that we had improved the club by at least five per cent or good enough to get at least a couple of more wins over last year with the addition of three new men&mdash;&rsquo;Red Hay, Murray Balfour and Stan Mikita: They have already picked up several goals for their part,&rdquo; he pointed out.</p><p>Neither Norris, Ivan or Coach Rudy Pilous blame goalie Glenn. Hall or several other members of the team for the sad start of the Hawks. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s been the veterans&mdash;the ones that carried our scoring load last year and the fellows we were counting on the most again this season,&rdquo; exclaimgd Tommy.</p><h2><b>Were Tough At Contract Time</b></h2><p>&ldquo;When we were talking contracts at camp in September they all led me to believe that they were the best players in the game. Now it seems like they&rsquo;re taking money under false pretenses. Isn&rsquo;t that just about what it amounts to?&rdquo;</p><p>It was pointed out in the cases of just about every salaried position imaginable the worker does his job or loses it. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know what we&rsquo;re going to do, but we should have some news in a couple of days. I can&rsquo;t say what kind now, because we don&rsquo;t really know ourselves.</p><p>&ldquo;We were willing to share the blame for our losses a few games ago since we thought that maybe conditioning and how we went about it was at fault, but we&rsquo;re not going to take the blame for them any longer&mdash;especially not after the last three or four games. There&rsquo;s nothing wrong with their condition now. They are as good or better physically as any other club.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Injuns Hatch Plans After Laying Egg

<div class="byline">By AL PARSLEY</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>The EPHL has taken the lead on initiative by league president Edward Houston for a renewal of the East-West series for the Edinburgh Trophy. &lsquo;</p><p>In Ottawa Houston said this week every effort will be made to arrange a playoff between the EPHL champions and the Western League title winners at the termination of the schedules in the two Canadian professional hockey circuits next spring.</p><p>The Edinburgh Trophy Series never lost money and in its early years was a marked financial success for clubs and players participating.</p><p>It was last held in April 1957 when Quebec Aces scored a sweeping triumph over Brandon five games to one with five games all played in Quebec City and one in Montreal.</p><p>Other winners were Calgary Stampeders 1954, Shawinigan Cataracts 1955 and Winnipeg Warriors 1956.</p><p>The Western Leaguers have been lukewarm about tilting with the Easteners in recent years. Whether it&rsquo;s felt in the WHL that they &lsquo;lose face&rsquo; by jousting with their &lsquo;inferiors&rsquo;, or because they prefer a longer playoff series of their own on the Prairies and the Pacific Coast has never been made quite clear.</p><p>Club spokesman in the WHL last spring made disparaging remarks about the old QHL, when Frank Carlin, general-manager of the Montreal Royals was trying to get things under way for a renewal of the Edinburgh Cup Series.</p><p>Such sneers roused Carlin&rsquo;s Irish hackles, and brought tirades from veteran QHL executives like secretary-treasurer Sid Holstead in rejoinder.</p><p>It was pointed about by the Easteners that the Quebec clubs had twice taken the honors and so were even-stephen on the ice, while at the same time, fans in Shawinigan, Quebec and Montreal had given the Edinburgh Trophy Series, symbolic of the Canadian minor pro hockey supremacy stout support at the turnstiles.</p><p>In Seattle, Wash, when braced with the suggestions for renewal as outlined in Ottawa by Mr. Houston, Al Leader, president of the Western Hockey League was quoted:</p><p>&ldquo;Our directors would prefer to have a playoff with the American League winners. But in the event an AHL-WHL playoff can not be arranged, I can see no reason why we couldn&rsquo;t set up a playoff with EPHL for the Edinburgh Trophy.&rdquo;</p><p>So it&rsquo;s apparent that chief executive of the Western League has an open; mind on Houston&rsquo;s proposals, though Mr. Leader may encounter some resistance from his own club executives.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Houston Moves To Revive Edinburgh Cup Series

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.<b>&mdash;</b></p><p>Terry Sawchuk may have lost his status as a hero with most of the hockey-following slan here, but not all of it.</p><p>Sawchuk is still a hero to Lynn Patrick, Bruins&rsquo; manager. Patrick said so after the first appearance of the season here of the Detroit Red Wings and their talented goalkeeper.</p><p>Sawchuk lost a sizzling goalkeeping duel with big Harry Lumley by a score of 2 to 1, tossing in these embellishments:</p><p>A fuss with Vic Stasiuk, big Bruins&rsquo; right wing, which he climaxed by throwing a couple of left hooks at Stasiuk&rsquo;s back when Vic became involved in a fight with Detroit&rsquo;s Norm Ullman.</p><p>A spat with a rinkside customer in which he supported reportedly pungent comments with a &ldquo;come out here and say that!&rdquo; wave and a pounding on the glass paneling with which the Garden rink is surrounded.</p><p>A constant verbal barrage at Referee Eddie Powers and some out-of-season practice golf shots at debris tossed in his direction by rule-breaking customers.</p><p>Chortled Patrick afterward, &ldquo;That Sawchuk was wonderful! I hope he gets mad every time he comes in.</p><p>&ldquo;Two years ago, when Detroit got him back from us, he sold out the Garden almost every time he was here. Now he has people yelling at him again. I hope we sell out for every Detroit game this season.&rdquo;</p><p>Added the Bruins&rsquo; boss, &ldquo;I say again, he&rsquo;s wonderful!&rdquo;</p><p>When Sawchuk was the Bruins&rsquo; goalkeeper and highest paid player in the club&rsquo;s history, the cash customer adorned him early with a halo and shihed it constantly. The Bruins failed to make the Stanley Cup playoffs in his only full year here, but never once was the goalkeeper taken to task by the critics who paid to see hem. On the contrary.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-04196/1664563-1-eng-US/f0002-042.jpg" title="f0002-04" width="282" height="454"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Terry Sawchuk</b></figcaption></div><h2><b>Once Cheered, Now Hooted</b></h2><p>Since then, however, people have been coming to hoot at the man they once came to cheer. And with Terry spicing his first visit of this season with personal fireworks, they will quite probably come to hoot in large numbers in subsequent Bruins&mdash;Detroit games.</p><p>The Lumley Sawchuk dual was truly a masterpiece and big Lum had more difficult saves than Sawchuk. Once in the first period he made point-blank saves on Detroit&rsquo;s Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio and Howe faster than it can be told.</p><p>Lumley had not played for nearly two weeks prior to playing against Detroit as Milt Schmidt, Bruins&rsquo; coach. not the goalkeeping job on a game-to-game basis. Schmidt played Lumley in the first five games while Don Simmons was recovering from a leg injury. Simmons then played three games before being replaced by Lumley. Indications were that Schmidt would use a rule-of-thumb method of choosing his goalie for the rest of the year, barring illness or injury to either.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Fired Up Sawchuk Sells Hub Tickets

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>The leading scorer of the Boston Bruins can describe his goal-making technique with a minimum of words.</p><p>Says Bronco Horvath:</p><p>&ldquo;I shoot the puck at the goalkeeper as hard as I can shoot it. If he can stop it, good for him. But he has to beat me.&rdquo;</p><p>That&rsquo;s Horvath&rsquo;s system, and it has given him a better scoring start this season than it did two seasons ago, when he finished with 30 goals. A year ago at this time, of course, he was just getting out of the hospital with a smashed jaw.</p><p>Shoot the puck at the goalkeeper as hard as he can shoot it&mdash;a practical technique? Absolutely, says Horvath&rsquo;s record. Abolutely, says Johnny Peirson.</p><p>&ldquo;The goalie is the biggest target in the net,&rdquo; Peirson points out, &ldquo;so if Bronco hits the goalie his shot is on the net, at the very least. Then it has a chance of going into the net.</p><p>&ldquo;Bronco has the system,&rdquo; says Peirson, once a good scorer as a Bruins&rsquo; right wing. &ldquo;He wants to score, and once he gets possession of the puck he doesn&rsquo;t fool around with it.</p><p>&ldquo;He lets it drive at the goalkeeper and puts the pressure on the man who is trying to stop his shot.</p><h2><b>Only Bentley Could Pick Corner</b></h2><p>&ldquo;This business about picking a corner of the net and shooting for it&mdash;I dunno,&rsquo; said Peirson, now a sales representative for a family furniture business here. &ldquo;The only player I&rsquo;ve ever known who could name a corner, then hit it, was Max Bentley.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I know one other,&rdquo; interjected Lynn Patrick, Bruins&rsquo; manager. &ldquo;Orval Tessier. He&rsquo;s the most accurate I&rsquo;ve ever seen. He&rsquo;s uncanny.&rdquo; Tessier, who plays for the Bruins&rsquo; Kingston Frontenacs farm team in the Eastern League, once played briefly here. Although he did his scoring in practices, his skill has become legendary with those who used to watch him.</p><p>There&rsquo;s something more to Horvath&rsquo;s goadmaking ability than his choice of target, of course. He can propel a puck at great speed by flexing muscles made Tarzan-like by years of exercise and training He handles a hockey stick like a match stick.</p><p>&ldquo;And he doesn&rsquo;t hesitate to make that one more play,&rdquo; snapped Patrick. &ldquo;He gets the puck and shoots it in an instant. The National League is full of players&mdash;and we have more than our share&mdash;who seem reluctant to shoot on the net. But not Bronk.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Skims His Shot Along The Ice</b></h2><p>Another Horvath skill is his faculty for keeping his. shots low. He can shoot high and does on occasion. But most of his goals this season have been on shots which have skimmed along the ice like lightning.</p><p>In his three seasons here&mdash;that includes the fraction of this season, 45 games last season and 67 games two years ago&mdash;Bronco has been indescriminate in his choice of successful targets. Two seasons back he scored more goals against Detroit&rsquo;s Terry Sawchuk than anyone else, with Chicago&rsquo;s Glenn Hall and Toronto&rsquo;s Easy Ed Chadwick as runnersup. He scored more goals against New York&rsquo;s Gump Worsley than anyone else last season. Early returns this fall found him doing his best against Montreal&rsquo;s Jacques Plante and Worsley.</p><p>The other night Horvath scored two goals against Sawchuk here in a game in which the Bruins beat Detroit by 2-1. The night before the skinny center had been the guest of Curt Gowdy on a television program.</p><p>Asked by Gowdy to account for the splendid start of the Red Wings, Bronco gave his views, speaking highly of Sawchuk&rsquo;s play. He added, &ldquo;Terry will be playing here tomorrow night&mdash;I hope I put about seven by him&mdash;and we&rsquo;ll have to be good to beat him.&rdquo;</p><p>After his two-goal production an interviewer said to Horvath, &ldquo;You missed your quota by five.&rdquo;</p><p>Horvath laughed at the reminder of his TV appearance, then replied, &ldquo;But I should have had three. The son of a gun (Sawchuk) robbed me on another one.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s the point,&rdquo; said Peirson. &ldquo;He gives his shots everything and they have to beat him. All the real scorers feel the same way.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Better Start Than 30 Goal Year</b></h2><p>Milt Schmidt, Bruins&rsquo; coach, thought last season that his team would have had a mych better record than it did&mdash;the Bruins finished second.&mdash;had Defenseman Doug Mohns and Horvath not received the jaw injuries which forced them to play in bulky masks when they returned to the lineup. After watching Horvath this fall Schmidt is sure of it.</p><p>&ldquo;Even though he got 30 goals his first year here,&rdquo; said Schmidt, &ldquo;he had to build his confidence as he went along. This year he looks even better than he did two years ago, probably the way he would have looked last year if he&rsquo;d been able to play normally.&rdquo;</p><p>Horvath has been the league goal-making leader or one of them since the start of the season. Whether or not he holds that pace will probably depend in part on how well the Bruins&rsquo; other lines score. As long as the opposition cannot concentrate on Bronco and his Busters&mdash;Johhny Bucyk and Vic Stasiuk&mdash;the snapshooting center figures to be on the target.</p><h2><b>Milt&rsquo;s Big Blaster</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-05151/1664594-1-eng-US/f0002-052.jpg" title="f0002-05" width="800" height="1592"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>BRONCO HORVATH&hellip;His Theory Works</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Bronco Puts Coolers On Spot: Must Stop Me

With the pressure of tallying the big one&rdquo; gone, it is expected&mdash;or, at least hoped&mdash;by the brass that they now will score with regularity.</p><p>No one could dispute the manner in which Prentice has been deporting himself thus far. In a word, it has been hustle, all the way.</p><p>On the other hand, Hebenton, who could be classified as a clean-up hitter based on last year&rsquo;s 33 goals, couldn&rsquo;t untrack himself in the first month&rsquo;s play. For Andy, this is not unusual. He has a reputation for slow starts&mdash;that is, except for 1958-59.</p><p>Meanwhile, Henry, balance-wheel of the power play, who fell from 32 goals in 1957-58 to 23 last season, was an in-and-outer.</p><p>&ldquo;1 think I was a little tight going for the 100th goal,&rdquo; Henry said. &ldquo;Now they should come easier. I&rsquo;m aiming for 25.&rdquo;</p><p>Sure enough, next time out, against Montreal, Cammy scored the Rangers only goal.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m also a little heavier this year,&rdquo; said Henry whose new &ldquo;heavy&rdquo; weight of a 154 pounds almost caused the dressing room scale to collapse of shock. &ldquo;Believe me, four extra pounds on my body is like 10 on another guy. But it&rsquo;s a good thing because I can. stand up better to checks. I even think I could take a regular turn for 70 games if they wanted me to.&rdquo;</p><p>Beginning Nov. 11th, against Boston, the Rangers play five of six games at home and 10 of 25 on Eight Ave. through January 9th. All agree it will be fattening up time in preparation for the final playoff drive.</p><p>The management has taken two immediate steps for the big haul. First, g.m. Muzz Patrick sent rookie defenseman Irv Spencer to Springfield. Second, coach Phil Watson tried a line shake-up to get a scoring boost.</p><p>Spencer&rsquo;s departure was imminent when the Blues acquired Noel Price from Toronto. The club now has six backliners, none of whom are rookies.</p><p>&ldquo;I would rather see Spencer get a full season&rsquo;s experience in the American League than ride the bench up here,&rdquo; Patrick said. &ldquo;In a year, he could develop real leadership qualities.</p><h2><b>Spencer Being Groomed</b></h2><p>An excellent skater with a quick hard shot from the point, Spencer is being groomed as a new Gadsby-Harvey type defenseman&mdash;little of the wild bodychecking but plenty of savvy and scoring sense.</p><p>As. for the changes. They went from the original Bathgate-Popein-Prentice; Hebenton-Sullivan-Henry; Schinkel-Ingarfield-Shack lines to the very latest combos as follows: Bathgate-Cullen-Henry; Hebenton&mdash;Popein&mdash;Prentice; and Schinkel&mdash;Sullivan&mdash;Shack. This leaves left wing Jim Bartlett and center Earl Ingarfield for spare duties. Naturally, the lines are subject to immediate reversal to original form.</p><h2><b>Hit Century Mark</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01294/1664525-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="544" height="556"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Andy Hebenton</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02278/1664518-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="534" height="548"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Camille Henry</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Rangers Heat Up Hopes On Glance At Home Schedule

He turned out to be an instand hit there, as he scored. 41 goals and added 39 assists for 80 points. Above, Johnny (white sweater) and Omaha teammates being interviewed on station KOWH, Omaha by sports director Jack Sandler, right. Brother Larry stands second from the left in the back row.</b></figcaption></div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>The Maple Leafs&rsquo; hottest scorer, as the National Hockey League season swung into November, was Johnny Wilson, a player without a job.</p><p>As a part-time left-winger, killing penalties and fulfilling spot assignments, Wilson had counted four goals, tops on the club, and two assists in 10 games.</p><p>And this was exactly the role manager-coach Punch Imlach had in mind for Wilson, when he acquired him from Detroit Red Wings during the off-season, in exchange for Barry Cullen.</p><p>He knew Wilson was an industrious checker, who possessed well-developed scoring ability, when such opportunities arose. Imlach figured Wilson would supply the type of reserve strength Leafs lacked last season.</p><p>This is precisely what Wilson has done. He joins Bobby Pulford or Ron Stewart on the short-handed detail and replaces Frank Mahovlich or Bert Olmstead, when either of those chaps is weary from powerplay duty.</p><p>Just the same, Wilson was trying his best to earn a regular post, since that&rsquo;s the only way a hockey player can have security.</p><p>&ldquo;But if the Leafs want me as a checker and a penalty-killer, that&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;ll do,&rdquo; he says.</p><p>And as a digging checker&mdash;fore and back&mdash;he ranks with the league&rsquo;s best men like Red Sullivan, Andy Hebenton and Jerry Toppazzini.</p><p>It wasnt always that way, though. When Johnny played his first full National league season&mdash;in 195253; with Detroit&mdash;he counted 23 goals. And he got 17 the next year and 24 and 18 in his seasons with Chicago Black Hawks. His NHL total was 121, at the outset of the current campaign.</p><p>&ldquo;I concentrated on scoring in those days and let the back checking take care of itself,&rdquo; says Johnny.</p><p>&ldquo;Then when I was returned to Detroit (in 1957) for Ted Lindsay, Jack Adams pointed out to me that the club wanted me for Lindsay because Ted hadn&rsquo;t been back-checking. So I took the hint and worked at checking.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>He&rsquo;s Loop&rsquo;s Iron Man</b></h2><p>Another reason Leafs might have wanted Wilson is his apparent indestructibility. At the end of the 1958-59 schedule, he&rsquo;d played 510 consecutive league games, without ever missing one. And the first of 10 of the &lsquo;59-&rsquo;60 campaign extended the string to 520, surpassing the old record held by the New York Rangers&rsquo; &ldquo;Iron Man&rdquo;, Murray Murdoch, who played 509 successive games between 1926 and 1937.</p><p>Actually, including minor league games and playoff matches, Wilson had played 761 games without an off-day since he turned professional in the Detroit organization back in 1949. Each time he plays for Toronto, he creates a new record.</p><p>If Johnny were a timid or gentle type of player, his record wouldn&rsquo;t be as amazing as it is. But he&rsquo;s the all-out sort who drives into the, corners and pursues his check persistently.</p><p>Before he was conscious of the &ldquo;Iron Man&rdquo; mark, Johnny came close to missing games on a couple of occasions. When he was with the Black Hawks, Leafs&rsquo; Jimmy Thomson caught him with a thunderous check. His elbow pad was knocked askew and when he landed, the elbow hit the ice, cracking it open. But he never missed a game.</p><p>Later, in a practice session with Red Wings, he was hit in the eye with a shot off Jack McIntyre&rsquo;s stick. He&rsquo;d have been sidelined that time but the team happened to have a week off and he got the go-ahead signal from the doctors the day before the next game.</p><p>Last year, some person who had nothing better to do figured out that Johnny was threatening Murdoch&rsquo;s record. He jinxed him by asking about it and that evening, Wilson was caught looking the other way by Rangers&rsquo; Harry Howell. Johnny did a half-gainer and landed right on his head. He was on cloud nine the rest of the game but still didn&rsquo;t have to miss work.</p><h2><b>Oldest Of Brother Combo</b></h2><p>Johnny, 30, is the elder half of one of hockey&rsquo;s best-known brother acts. He and Larry, who&rsquo;s now 29, were prolific scorers with Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey association junior league in the late 40&rsquo;s. They were with Omaha Knights in the old U.S. league in 1949-50 and spent the following season with Indianapolis Capitols of the American league. From then on, they were together only intermittently and were split up for good in 1953, when Larry was sent to Chicago Black Hawks. Larry is now in his fifth season with Buffalo Bisons, Chicago&rsquo;s AHL farm team.</p><p>The Wilsons are natives of Kincardine, Ont.</p><p>Johnny has been a very large hit with the Maple Leaf fans and if Dick Duff and Frank Mahovlich continued their slumps, it was difficult to see how Imlach could avoid giving him a full-time job.</p><p>And the player Leafs gave up to get him, Barry Cullen, had compiled three points for Detroit. Imlach still was batting 1.000 in the trading league, a distinctly new departure for Leafs who have peddled enough good players to form an NHL contender.</p><h2><b>The Omaha Kid</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></h2>

Johnny Surprises Punch; He Was Picked Up As A Utility Player

<p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Johnny Wilson recently recounted his most hilarious hockey experience.</p><p>&ldquo;At least, it seems funny now,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;It didn&rsquo;t at the time.</p><p>&ldquo;It was when I was playing junior hockey with Windsor. We were playing Toledo in the playoffs. The fans were giving us a hard time and Dave O&rsquo;Meara&mdash;his father writes for the Montreal Star&mdash;was turned to one side sassing them back. Here comes a shot that he never sees at all. Darned if it didn&rsquo;t hit his stick and bounce away. It was a sure goal and would have put us right out of the playoffs.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

His Funniest Experience Almost Cost Club Playoff

PASSING THE PUCK

They came home a day later on the short end of an 8 to 4 score and the first excuse offered by Hab rooters was a simple one&mdash;it went something lite this: Well, what did you &lsquo;expect ? Harvey didn&rsquo;t play!</p><p>That&rsquo;s right, Doug Harvey didn&rsquo;t play that night and while there have been nights when he was in the lineup and Canadiens were badly beaten just the same&mdash;it is the generally accepted opinion that without Harvey, Canadiens are not the same team.</p><p>And it would be something unique if they were, for Harvey in the latter half of his NHL career has earned a reputation as one of the great all time defencemen of hockey history. You can&rsquo;t lose that kind of player without adverse effect on your club.</p><p>Not too long ago it was publicly announced that a &ldquo;Night&rdquo; would be held for Harvey, the date being Thursday, December 3rd. Heading the Committee is Irving Liverman who so adequately &ldquo;chaired&rdquo; the committee which ran Floyd Curry Night a couple of seasons back. As he did on that occasion, Liverman has surrounded himself with a solid group of Montreal citizens and early returns would indicate he has again chosen his helpers wisely.</p><p>&ldquo;Nights&rdquo; have come to be regarded in Montreal as both a tribue to the player involved as well as a means of providing him with tangible proof of the fans&rsquo; appreciation of his efforts over a long period of time. Looking back on the players who have been &ldquo;nighted&rdquo; you&rsquo;d have to admit they&rsquo;ve been a select group starting with Durnan and running through, Richard, Lach, Bouchard, Mosdell and Curry. Harvey certainly belongs in this category and in some respects is more deserving then all the rest.</p><p>Doug has made tremendous contributions to hockey through his playing skill, but perhaps of greater importance have been his efforts on behalf of the underpriviledged of the community. Few realize he sepnds more hours on charitable causes than he does with his own family or in his own business. He Is a most unselfish athlete and citizen.</p><p>In recent months his pet work has been on behalf of the Province of Quebec Retarded Children. The utter dependance of these youngsters on those around them has struck a responsive chord in Harvey&rsquo;s makeup and he has laboured hard and long to help them become useful citizens.</p><p>When advised a Night was being planned for him Doug asked Liverman to turn over every penny received to the Retarded Children. And that&rsquo;s what will happen.</p><p>Liverman is raising founds to buy Doug a car by selling advertising space in a special programme. Any extra money required to pay for the car will be taken from the fans&rsquo; donations. The rest, plus proceeds from a special raffle held in conjunction with the Night, will be handed over to the Retarded Children, the major projects at the moment being to buy proper desks and chairs for their classrooms and to outfit a recreation hall at their summer camp.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Montreal Fans To Honor Doug Dec 3

You know Bower and Gump are goalies who ply their precarious trade in big &bull;league hockey. But who&rsquo;s Maizie Maypole? She&rsquo;s the second doll from the right in the chorus line on the gin mill circuit. Maybe her name isn&rsquo;t Maizie, but what does it matter? She merely is used to illustrate an argument advanced by Muzz Patrick, who is general manager of the New York Rangers.</p><p>A mask might prevent Gordie Howe from shooting the molars out of Worsley or Bower, you tell Mr. Patrick. Only the other night in New York, Andy Bathgate of his own club decorated Jacques Plante&rsquo;s pinched features with some additional stitches. After the damage was done, Jacques dug out a plastic mask and finished the game looking like an advertisement for shell-out candy. Jacques made the mask himself. He also knits toques and undershirts. If he had been wearing the mask, instead of carrying it in his tack, Bathgate wouldn&rsquo;t have carved up his kisser.</p><p>And if Maizie Maypole wore underwear, she wouldn&rsquo;t get goose pimples, along with occasional sieges of pneumonia, according to Mr. Patrick. But how many people would buy tickets to see her hoisting her long stems in red flannels? Goose pimples and pneumonia are her occupational hazards. Worsley and Bower and Plante and the rest of that suicide squad have to expect they&rsquo;ll lose a tooth occasionally. If they have been in the business long, they should be happy they still have a tooth to give. It means they have been very, very fortunate.</p><p>Does Patrick mean to say there&rsquo;s any relation between the wearing of masks and the sale of tickets? He does, indeed. And, being a front office man, he&rsquo;s on the side of management. Muzz is less concerned about the possibility that his boy Gump will need some hemstitching in his wrinkled brow than he is about the jingle of coins in the cash register.</p><h2><b>The Ladies Want Men, Not Masks</b></h2><p>&ldquo;Our game,&rdquo; Patrick maintains, has a greater percentage ofwomen fans than any team sport I know, &lsquo;m talking about real fans&mdash;ones who can give you the scoring averages and the all-star lineups. Those women fans want to see men&mdash;not masks. They want to see the blonds, the redheads&mdash;and the bald spots. That&rsquo;s why I&rsquo;m against helmets and masks. They rob the players of their individuality.</p><p>&ldquo;We start out with goalies wearing masks. Every club has a defenceman or two who goes down to smother shots. Soon, they will want masks. All the forwards will wear helmets. The teams Will become faceless, headless robots, all of whom look alike to the spectators. We can&rsquo;t afford to take that fan appeal away from hockey.&rdquo;</p><p>Mr. Patrick admits he never played goal, so he can&rsquo;t say from experience how it feels to stand in a cage and wonder whether BoomBoom Geoffrion is going to shoot off your left ear or whether he will settle for a piece, of your eyebrow. Sometime, a near-hit is a more shattering experience than an actual bull&rsquo;s-eye. One night, in Montreal, Al Rollins, then with the Leafs, was shell-shocked 30 minutes after Geoffrion sounded the gong on the goal-post. Al wasn&rsquo;t thinking he might have been hit; he was thinking he didn&rsquo;t even see what might have hit him</p><p>Patrick&rsquo;s fears of what helmets and masks might do at the gate don&rsquo;t seem to make sense when you remember what&rsquo;s happened to the National Football league. There&rsquo;s a game in which you can&rsquo;t see the warrior for the armor. And the only development at the box office is that they had to hire extra help to count the money. For seven straight years, the league has shown a hike in attendance.</p><p>&ldquo;Different thing entirely,&rdquo; Patrick proclaims. &ldquo;The fan associates helmets with football. He does not think of helmets when he thinks of hockey. To the fan, hockey is the only game in which a player gets his wounds stitched up and returns to action without missing a shift. It&rsquo;s a tradition and we should be proud of it.&rdquo;</p><p>As mentioned before, Muzz never played goal., He has boxed, ridden bikes, played football, basketball and hockey. Since he managed to survive, he probably figures it isn&rsquo;t unreasonable to ask his athletes if-they&rsquo;ll do likewise&mdash;just survive. He doesn&rsquo;t ask them to 1 look pretty.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Speaking on Sport

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div><p><b>NEW YORK, N.Y.</b>&mdash;</p><p>The greatest goaltender of this decade and the most revolutionary of a lifetime sat on the end of a long gray bench in the visitors&rsquo; dressing room at Madison Square Garden.</p><p>For a few moments after Jacques Plante had guided his flawless Montreal Canadiens to a 3-1 victory over New York Rangers, the only visitor who bothered to talk with him was a Montreal writer who travels with the team.</p><p>Then, as if it were being hammered with a battering ram, the heavy steel door of the Hab quarters was thrown open and in poured a legion of Gotham writers seeking out the exciting Monsieur Plante. They crouched, leaned and swarmed about him as out-of-towners do for revivalist orators on Broadway. No one wanted to miss a word.</p><p>If Jacques was moved by this surge of attention normally reserved for Rocket Richard and coach Toe Blake, he did not show it. He could well have been sitting in his living room talking with a dozen friends, he was that calm.</p><p>Plante was still wearing his blood-stained white jersey when the first volley of questions came at him and he kicked them out as he would a clear-shot from the blue line. It went like this:</p><p>&ldquo;You played well. Jake.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s always a good game when you win.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;For a while, it looked like you were hurt bad.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s why I made this mask. Here, feel it, that&rsquo;s hard fibreglass. We tested it, hit the thing with a hammer and couldn&rsquo;t break it. It&rsquo;s molded to fit my face perfectly, see.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Jake, doesn&rsquo;t it bother you at all?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t bother me&hellip;well, naturally, sometimes it gets a little uncomfortable, I was a little nauseous tonight. I think it can be improved but I don&rsquo;t know how.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Do you think other goalies should wear masks?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I do. You have to realize that the game has improved so much it&rsquo;s become much tougher on goal-&rsquo; ies. They&rsquo;re starting to realize it. Take (Terry) Sawchuk. He never used to wear a mask, now he uses it in practice. He says he could practice all day in a mask, that&rsquo;s how much he likes it.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Couldn&rsquo;t Stop One They Scored</b></h2><p>&ldquo;Why didn&rsquo;t you wear one sooner?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I asked the coach (Toe Blake) and he said the people wouldn&rsquo;t go for it. I guess he figured if I wore the mask and played a bad game, the fans would say &lsquo;that&rsquo;s what did it&rsquo;. I think it&rsquo;s just in the people&rsquo;s mind.&rdquo;</p><p>The questions were machine-gunned so fast, Plante had only time to remove his bulky leg pads. Now, he took a breather and pulled off his jersey,. Then, a thick, black chest pad with the letters &ldquo;CH&rdquo; in red and white in the center. Finally, he was reduced to tan, sweat-stained long johns. He continued the interview:</p><p>&ldquo;Would you have returned to the game if you didn&rsquo;t have a mask?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I would have to but I think I would have been nervous.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re lucky Bathgate didn&rsquo;t hit you with his forehand.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;If he had, I&rsquo;d be six feet under. The face of the goalie gets the worst beating of all in hockey.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Did you play better after you put on the mask?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;My stops were about average, some hard, some easy. I didn&rsquo;t have a chance on the goal they scored. I split to stop Bathgate and Henry hit the open net.&rdquo;</p><p>His teammates already were in their street clothes but Jacques still had his underwears on. He pushed back his wet, black hair, touched the large bloody bandages on his face with his index finger and headed for the shower. He must have congratulated himself on a job well done, for that is what it was. Plante had made history.</p><p>The reporters congratulated the class goaltender and departed.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Andy’s Blast Puts New Face On Plante

<p class="dropcap"><span>N</span>EW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;General Manager Muzz Patrick of the New York Rangers brought up a new angle when asked if goalers in the league should shortly be wearing face masks for protection.</p><p>Said Patrick: &ldquo;The use of the mask Hikes something away from the fans. They Want to see the man. Particularly the female fans.&rdquo;.</p><p>&ldquo;Over the year a goaler will seldom miss a game because of a face cut, but might be sidelined by a leg or an arm injury, said the Rangers&rsquo; boss.</p><p>Said Phil Watson, Ranger coach: &ldquo;I have no objection to the use/of a mask by our goalie. I wouldn&rsquo;t object to it as long-as he saves the goals.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

It was his best game in New York. It may be the start of a new trend.&rdquo;</p><p>Montreal coach Toe Blake said he thought the Canadiens played their finest game of the season after Plante donned the mask. Blake added that he thought a better mask could be made and told reporters he had planned to let Plante wear the mask at the end of the campaign even if the goalie had not been hurt.</p><p>Others were less ecstatic about hockey&rsquo;s latest invention.</p><p>Maurice &ldquo;Rocket&rdquo; Richard said he thought the mask caused &ldquo;blind spots,&rdquo; particularly at the goalie&rsquo;s feet.</p><p>It was for Plante&rsquo;s own colleague, Ranger netminder Gump Worsley, to really debunk the mask as a panacea for puckstopping.</p><p>&ldquo;How the hell can a mask protect you when it&rsquo;s flush against the face?&rdquo; Worsley asked. &ldquo;They say you don&rsquo;t get cut, just bruised when a puck hits the mask. Well, sometimes it&rsquo;s better to get cut than bruised.&rdquo;</p><p>Gump was asked six times and six different ways whether he would wear a mask. His &ldquo;no&rdquo; was as emphatic as a split save on Beliveau.</p><p>&ldquo;My objection to the mask is that it&rsquo;s not necessary,&rdquo; said Gump as he adjusted a red-gray striped tie. &ldquo;Why all of a sudden after hockey has been played for 70 years do they decide we should wear masks?&rdquo;</p><p>A reporter interrupted Gump and told him it was merely a process of evolution, the same as in baseball where catchers at first were reluctant to wear masks.</p><p>&ldquo;Awww, don&rsquo;t tell me that and don&rsquo;t tell me the game has changed. Besides, you don&rsquo;t see college goalies wearing masks and they&rsquo;re a careful bunch. Do boxers wear masks?&rdquo;</p><p>The Ranger dressing room was empty except for Worsley, rookie Irvin Spencer, the reporters, Ar-nee Nocks, Blueshirt spare goalie, trainer Frank Paice and stickboy Billy Hampton. Gump talked:</p><p>&ldquo;Plante may make a pot full &lsquo;o money on that mask idea. He can have it, I don&rsquo;t want the thing.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Never Badly Hurt</b></h2><p>Worsley was asked if he ever was badly hurt about the face. He shook his head and rapped his knuckles for good luck on the wood bench. Someone wondered if Gump thinks about being injured.</p><p>&ldquo;If I did, I wouldn&rsquo;t be here,&rdquo; he replied quickly.</p><p>Worsley disclosed that he had ordered a translucent plastic mask for practices two years ago but was forbidden by Watson to wear it. The mask was given to Nocks who uses it in every practice.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s terrific,&rdquo; Nocks said. &ldquo;Of course, when you first put it on, you complain but you get used to it. The mask gives you more confidence, there&rsquo;s no fog oh it and no blind spots.&rdquo;</p><p>Spencer joined the conversation. He wondered why the. fuss over goalie masks.</p><p>&ldquo;Defensemen have to get in front of shots,&rdquo; the rookie back-liner said, &ldquo;but nobody ever says we should wear masks.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Yea,&rdquo; said trainer Paice. &ldquo;If they keep that up they&rsquo;ll make a sissy game outa hockey!&rdquo;</p><h2><b>THE MASKED MAN FROM EARTH</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01314/1664942-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="1724" height="1968"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Jacques Plante.&hellip;&hellip;Stops Were Average</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

It didn&rsquo;t sound reasonable. &lsquo;</p><p>&ldquo;You wouldn&rsquo;t think it unreasonable if you&rsquo;d seen the way they played in Toronto last night,&rdquo; he commented. &ldquo;I was there and it was a poor hockey game. Neither team played well.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Aren&rsquo;t. you with the wrong club?&rdquo; he was asked. &ldquo;Why are you following the Rangers around?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not following anybody around,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m just hovering, watching hockey games. I want to see as many players as I can. I&rsquo;m not just watching National League teams. When there&rsquo;s the possibility of a deal you want to know all the players involved. Not that there are any deals in prospect at the moment, but you never know when one may come up.&rdquo;</p><p>Discussing the slow start of the Rangers, he pointed out that the schedule was against them early in the season.</p><p>&ldquo;The Rangers opened the season by playing three games on the road and losing them all,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Then they went into their own rink and lost a game there. By that time they&rsquo;re in a slump. Montreal and Toronto get all the good breaks in the schedule. The Canadiens played their first two games at home. Then they played one game away and were right back for two more games at home. They hardly ever play more than one game away at a time.</p><h2><b>Life On The Road</b></h2><p>&ldquo;Oh, I know they were on the road for three games lately, but that doesn&rsquo;t happen often. Actually, the only time they hit the road for any length of time is when the ice shows are in the Forum.</p><p>&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t know what it is to go into a town and wait around for five days. There&rsquo;s nothing for the players to do but hang around the hotel lobby and stare at each other. That dulls any edge they may have.&rdquo;.</p><p>Well, they get a chance to practice, don&rsquo;t they?</p><p>&ldquo;Oh yes, they may get ice for an hour,&rdquo; he admitted. &ldquo;But where do they go from there? Back to the hotel lobby. It&rsquo;s not like being at home with your family and your friends.</p><p>&ldquo;The Rangers may be riding a winning streak the next time they come to Montreal, but they didn&rsquo;t look good in Toronto last night. When you see the defensemen carrying the puck a lot you know a team is in trouble, and that&rsquo;s what the Rangers were doing.&rdquo;</p><p>More rookies broke in with the Rangers last season than with any other team in the league. You&rsquo;d think the youngsters would be improved after a year&rsquo;s experience.</p><p>&ldquo;It wasn&rsquo;t the kids who let them down in Toronto,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It was their big stars. We know Bathgate is a great hockey, player, but against the Leafs all he did was shoot the puck from somewhere between the red line and the blue line. I could stop those shots myself. Their three best forwards were Sullivan, Schinkel and Shack.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Bronco Sets The Pace</b></h2><p>One of the surprises of the early season is the Bruins&rsquo; Bronco Horvath, who has already scored 12 goals. Isn&rsquo;t it about time they gave him a saliva test?</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not sure, but I think he got about eight of them on the power play,&rdquo; said Lynn. &ldquo;But he can score. I think he gets the puck away the fastest of any player in the league. He doesn&rsquo;t have to wind up and get set to shoot.&rdquo;</p><p>Last season Horvath scored 19 goals, but he played in only 45 games. If he&rsquo;d played a full schedule of 70 games, he may have wound up with 30 or better.</p><p>&ldquo;This is the first time in many seasons that we&rsquo;ve had an effective power play,&rdquo; Lynn pointed out. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re using five forwards&mdash;McKenney and Toppa (Jerry Toppazzini) on the points with Horvath, Stasiuk and Bucyk. Toppa has been playing very well for us. Not only on the power play, but since we put him on a line with Mackell and Burns.&rdquo;</p><p>The Bruins are carrying two goalkeepers, Don Simmons and Harry Lumley. Are they going to continue the practice all season?</p><p>&ldquo;I think so,&rdquo; he replied. &ldquo;Lumley can&rsquo;t play 70 good games any more, and Simmons has never played a complete schedule. We&rsquo;ll play one as long as he&rsquo;s going good and when he starts to tail off we&rsquo;ll replace him. The goalkeepers aren&rsquo;t quite like the other players. They&rsquo;re out there for the 60 minutes and under pressure the whole time because they-can&rsquo;t take their eyes off the puck for a moment. They get tired and they&rsquo;re always better when they come back after a rest.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Champs&rsquo; Charging Defense Corps</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></h2>

That wasn&rsquo;t bad for a fellow who didn&rsquo;t have steady linemates (Larry Leach and Leo LaBine) until late in the season.</p><p>If the Bruins bought Gendron originally as a penalty-killer, it didn&rsquo;t take Schmidt long to reclassify him. The coach called attention to the 159-pound speedster shortly after the start of pre-season practice last fall.</p><p>&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t realize he has such a good shot,&rdquo; said Schmidt. &ldquo;He looks to me as though he can make some goals for us.

This season he has looked better.</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s the result of confidence,&rdquo; opined Schmidt. &ldquo;He can be a pretty good hockey player if he works at it. He has had a season of regular play behind him and he should respond to it.&rdquo;</p><p>Gendron, who spends his summers golfing and working at the Montreal Municipal course, can make pretty scoring shots. His third goal of his latest hat trick against Toronto&rsquo;s Johnny Bower was a pretty one.</p><p>&ldquo;It was a beauty,&rdquo; exclaimed big Vic Stasiuk. &ldquo;He put the puck into the top of the net when Bower went down.

Gendron Picks Up Annual Hat Trick

Tremblay</b></figcaption></div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Hallowe&rsquo;en came a day late for Jacques Plante this year but it didn&rsquo;t stop the colorful goalkeeper of the Montreal Canadiens from wearing his new self-styled face mask in a history-making National Hockey League event.</p><p>New York&rsquo;s embittered hockey fans are prone to extending plaudits to visiting journeymen, particularly &lsquo;Jake The Snake&rsquo; and the Canadiens, whom they have literally come to loathe.</p><p>But they swallowed their pride the night of Nov. 1 when Plante reappeared on the Garden ice with his celebrated face protector covering a seven-stitch face cut.</p><p>It wasn&rsquo;t the sight of Plante wearing the mask so much that moved the New Yorkers to cheers as it was the big goaler coming back after a serious mishap in a courageous display that won him a &lsquo;generous&rsquo; ovation from the crowd of 15,000.</p><p>Manhatten hockey fans are not exactly the most docile. They like their ice heroes to be belligerent and brawny and since they have been getting neither this season, they let their hair down this one night and opened their hearts to the swaggering French-Canadian.</p><p>Plante was hit early in the first period of the game by a flying puck off the stick of Rangers&rsquo; Andy Bathgate. Seven stitches in all were required to close cuts on his nose and upper lip. After a 20minute respite, Jacques returned wearing his mask, the first time a goaler has ever worn one in actual NHL competition.</p><p>It was only fitting that the rangy netminder should be the first to wear the mask in NHL games since he has been credited with pioneering the protector in practices.</p><h2><b>Originally Planned Debut In All-Star Game</b></h2><p>Plante had originally planned to wear the face-piece in the all-star game and subsequent NHL competition but the decision to go through with it was temporarily delayed at the insistence of club officials, who reasoned he had been successful for four years without it and they were content to leave well enough alone.</p><p>It was agreed then that should Plante be injured in the course of a game he would be allowed to wear the mask and his chance came against the Rangers in New York.</p><p>The Canadiens won the game 3-1 with Plante allowing only one goal with the mask, a factor that has enhanced his claim that all goalkeepers in hockey should wear it for their personal protection.</p><p>Plante handled 27 shots while operating behind the protector as the Habs stretched their unbeaten string to eight games and maintained their hold on first place in the NHL standings.</p><p>Plante has been the whole story of the World hockey champions to date this season. He has monopolized the headlines and with some of the team&rsquo;s high-voltaged scorers like Bernie Geoffrion, Jean Beliveau, Dickie Moore, Henri Richard and Rocket Richard not exactly generating power in the early games, it has been easy for Plante.</p><p>But Jacques isn&rsquo;t naive to think he can do it alone. Like Coach Toe Blake, he unhesitatingly tips his hat to his defencemen, Doug Harvey, Jean Guy Talbot, Tom Johnson, Junior Langlois and rookie Jean Claude Tremblay.</p><p>The Montreal &lsquo;back line&rsquo; has conspired to hold opposing NHL teams to a meagre eight goals in the last seven games, a remarkable defensive effort and the true story of the Canadiens&rsquo; resurgence in the NHL after a sub-par start.</p><p>Everything was almost normal in the Habs&rsquo; camp with the return of injured centre Ralph Backstrom to the club. The 1958-59 rookie award winner has been out of action two weeks with an aggravated knee ailment and is back playing with a special brace.</p><p>Defenceman Bob Turner remains the sole casualty with the Canadiens and his return to uniform wasn&rsquo;t expected for at least another month. He cracked a bone in his ankle while stopping a shot from Chicago&rsquo;s Eddie Litzenberger necessitating a cast on his left foot.</p><p>Club followers have detected a noticeable rise in the Canadiens&rsquo; scoring production in the past six games and there was the expectancy that, the prolific Habs were ready to break out.</p><p>&ldquo;Boom Boom&rdquo; Geoffrion continued to pace the Canadiens&rsquo; in points with 19 and goals with nine. Beliveau was nestling behind him with 14, but eight of big Jean&rsquo;s points were the result of assists and not goals. Last season he led NHL snipers with 45.</p><p>Following the two team leaders were Marcel Bonin 6-4-10; Henri Richard 5-5-10; Dickie Moore 4-6-10; and Maurice Richard 4-5-9.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Toe Pin-Points Habs Come-On At Blueline For Go-Go Show

<div class="byline">By AL NICKLESON in The Toronto Globe & Mail</div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Punch Imlach, whose orations have been known to inspire teams under his puckish command, put the slug on the Maple Leafs last week.</p><p>&ldquo;There are to many soft guys playing on this team,&rdquo; Leafs&rsquo; manager-coach howled loud enough for some of the players to hear. &ldquo;They think they&rsquo;ve got it made. But they haven&rsquo;t.&rdquo;</p><p>It was obvious that Imlach, his chrome dome oozing beads of anger, was referring to the previous weekend&rsquo;s activity against Boston Bruins. In addition, it just wasn&rsquo;t coincidental that Leafs collide with New York Rangers in a National Hockey League game here that night. Imlach was stoking the boiler.</p><p>&ldquo;Leafs let down badly in the third period here against Boston,&rdquo; recalled Punch. &ldquo;We were lucky to win. In Boston we lost out just eight seconds after the second period started. That&rsquo;s when Bruins broke a 2-2 tie. Leafs weren&rsquo;t willing to work to get it back and we lost, 6-3.&rdquo;</p><p>Imlach said that, specifically, he was referring to five or six Leafs.</p><h2><b>Happy With Wilson&rsquo;s Play</b></h2><p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;re willing to play but they&rsquo;re not willing to battle for the puck. After 10 games we know pretty well who&rsquo;s working and who isn&rsquo;t. It&rsquo;s my problem and I have to straighten it out.&rdquo;</p><p>Imlach named no names, although he may have indirectly been referring to the capable chores being performed by leftwinger Johhny Wilson.</p><p>Wilson, without a regular spot in the lineup, has come off the bench to score four goals this young season. No Leaf has scored more. Would Imlach consider placing Wilson on a regular line?</p><p>That had to be considered in the light of Wilson&rsquo;s effectiveness, said Imlach. He might try Wilson in place of Dick Duff or Frank Mahovlich.</p><p>&ldquo;Wilson is doing well the way it is now,&rdquo; said Punch. &ldquo;Maybe if we put him in as a regular, he wouldn&rsquo;t go as well.&rdquo;</p><p>Problems, problems.</p><h2><b>Fill-In Man</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-01336/1665104-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="544" height="886"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Johnny Wilson</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Punch Looks To End Of Bench As Leafs’ Softies Get Softer

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><p>CHICAGO, III.&mdash;</p><p>Stan Mikita, Chicago&rsquo;s promising rookie center, has been somewhat of a question mark in terms of physical prowness to Coach Rudy Pilous.</p><p>Pilous, who tutored Stan through much of his junior hockey at St. Catharines, has admitted concern over the youngster&rsquo;s ability to withstand the heavy going in the National League. It appeared as though Stan wanted to take matters into his own hands at the Chicago Stadium last week.</p><p>Back in action following recovery from a bad knee, Stan pranced down the ice twice in attempts to get by burly Leo Boivin in the game with Boston. Each time Leo met him low and young Mikita was hurled into the air and came down on his head and shoulders.</p><p>Many bigger men in hockey have been shaken badly by such a check, but each time Stan came up from it all with more zest than ever for further action. The first Boivin-Mikita meeting found the rookie making a complete somersault and then regaining his feet to Love in further on the Bostonn.</p><p>Probably worried that his young charge might take even more risk to prove a point, Pilous then quickly ejected Stan from the game, but the TeePee Junior grad had proven that he has plenty of guts to more than a few of the fans in the Chicago Stadium.</p><p>It is doubtless hoped and may well be that Mikita&rsquo;s physical makeup&mdash;though slight&mdash;will develop into the likes of another Hawk and all-time great who has survived many a battle with all sized opponents&mdash;fiery Ted Lindsay who is still going strong after 15 years in the NHL.</p><p>At any rate, the Hawk management is going to be watching Stan carefully. &ldquo;We plan to bring him along slowly&rsquo; and carefully,&rdquo; says General Manager Tommy Ivan. But many Chicago fans are becoming anxious for they like all they&rsquo;ve seen of Stan to date and want to see more.</p><p>They should, however, leave the judgement on his up bringing at so important a phase in his career to the men who know him and what he can and can&rsquo;t do best. Mainly, Pilous who has been the kid develop from the very start.</p><h2><b>Tough Little Guy</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02303/1665135-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="560" height="896"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Stan Mikita</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Detroit jumped to a 3-0 lead in Madison Square Garden only to have the New York Rangers snap back with three goals of their own for a 3-all finish.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

<p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;The world champion Montreal Canadiens have a philosophy about spawning hockey players.</p><p>Raise them at home in your own back yard and watch them grow.</p><p>Of the 19 members of this season&rsquo;s team, only five were raised outside the Province of Quebec.</p><p>Tom Johnson, Bob Turner, Ralph Backstrom, Billy Hicke and Ab McDonald are the &lsquo;foreigners&rsquo; on the Canadiens. Backstrom hails from Ontario, Hicke and Turner from Saskatchewan and McDonald and Johnson from Manitoba.</p><p>Seven of the Canadiens are actually native Montrealers. They are the Richards, Doug Harvey, Marcel Bonin, Bernie Geoffrion, Claude Provost and Dickie Moore, who lend a definite &lsquo;metropolitan&rsquo; air to the NHL champs.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Fourteen Of Present Habs Were Raised In Back Yard

<p class="dropcap"><b><span>B</span>OSTON, Mass.&mdash;Left Winger Johnny Bucyk, once described by General Manager Jack Adams of the Detroit Red Wings as a &lsquo;lazy hockey player refuted that statement last week, the best way he knows how. He did it by scoring and setting up goals. As the port sider for the Bruins&rsquo; &lsquo;Uke Line&rsquo; he scored three goals and added six assists during the week, as the Hub blasters won three games by wide margins.</b></p><p><b>Bucyk, a hefty 190, 511 skater moved way up in the scoring ladder as he almost doubled his season total in one week. He picked up at least one point in each Boston game, and in one, grabbed off the honors by figuring in five in one game.</b></p><p><b>In that game, against the Chicago Black Hawks in Chicago on November 3rd, the Bruins swept past the Injuns to the tune of 6-3. Bucyk scored one goal and picked up four assists. He is the first player this season to hit the five points in a game mark.</b></p><p><b>Johnny also made his talents known to his former employers, the Detroit Red Wings. The Bruins handed the Wings their worst defeat of the year right in Detroit on November 5th, trimming them 8-3. Johnny scored a pair of goals and added one assist for three points.</b></p><p><b>Last Sunday night, as the Bruins won their fourth game in a row by belting the Chicago Black Hawks 5-3, Bucyk set up one goal, his ninth point of the week.</b></p><p><b>Johnny, who was born and brought up in Edmonton, Alberta, is one third of what is being termed the &lsquo;hottest line in hockey&rsquo;&mdash;the &lsquo;Ukes&rsquo;. With Bronco Horvath centering Stasiuk and Bucyk the line has been the most consistent trio for the Boston club, if not the most consistent in the league.</b></p><p><b>it took a trade to the Bruins from the Detroit Red Wings for Bucyk to prove to Adams that he did have the potential first spotted in him as a junior in Edmonton. In 104 games as a Wings he scored&rdquo; only 11 goals. But in 137 games with the Bruins he scored 45, not including this season&rsquo;s goals.</b></p><p><b>He has hit the 20 goal mark in both his years with the Bruins. In 1957-58, the first year with the club, after being included in the deal that sent Terry Sawchuk back to Detroit, he scored 21 goals and last season he upped that figure to 24. The Bruins are hoping he can up it to 30 this year.</b></p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-1031/1665408-1-eng-US/f0008-102.jpg" title="f0008-10" width="269" height="450"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Johory Bucyk</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Then there are others who will tell you that Frederick Austin Glover is no good unless he&rsquo;s tangling with someone, or taking a young rook&rsquo;s part in a brawl. Look at his record, they tell you. He&rsquo;s never been below 20 goals In a year since he joined the Barons from the Chicago Black Hawks seven seasons ago.</p><p>But last week Glover stuck strictly to hockey. He spent only two minutes in the penalty box, an unusual occasion for the battler, who, in those same six seasons with the Barons has never-gone through one with less than 105 minutes in the penalty box. And what did he do last week. He scored five goals and added three assists for eight points, and jumped into a three way tie for points honors in the league. He now has nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points.</p><p>Glover, nicknamed &lsquo;No Kid&rsquo; Glover, by Cleveland&rsquo;s newspapermen, did a barrel of damage, particularly against Hershey and Rochester last week. He scored the winning goal in each game.</p><p>On November 4th, against Hershey he scored the game winner and assisted on another as the Barons won 5-3.</p><p>On November 6th the Barons and Bears tied 2-2. This time Glover assisted on one goal.</p><p>On November 8th, against Rochester he scored four goals and added one assist as the Barons whipped the Americans 8-7 in overtime. Glover&rsquo;s fourth goal was the game winner in the overtime session.</p><p>Glover&rsquo;s record has been an amazing one in the AHL. He has scored 310 goals with three American League clubs. In the NHL he scored 13 goals in 92 games. There are those who will tell you that Freddie couldn&rsquo;t skate well enough to stick in the majors. You couldn&rsquo;t prove it by his AHL record. No matter what he&rsquo;s failed to do in the National League, he&rsquo;s still the big chief as far as the Barons are concerned. The Toronto, Ontario native has never been happier since he joined the Clevelanders. It is said too, that Glover enjoys as big a pay packet in the Cleveland baliwick, as many a National League player.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By GEOFFREY FISHER</div><p class="dropcap"><span>C</span>LEVELAND, O.&mdash;_ With their great little goaltender, Gil Mayer, recovering from a broken jaw, General Manager Jim Hendy managed to land Gil Boisvert of Sudbury to plug what had become a gaping hole in the Cleveland dike.</p><p>Hendy&rsquo;s high hopes that Don Rigazio, spare goalie and Barons&rsquo; promotion man, would be able to handle the job until Mayer&rsquo;s return, were dashed when Rigazio was blistered with 22 goals in three games.</p><p>Mayer was hurt in a routine practice session at the Cleveland Arena when a shot from the stick of Eddie (Spider) Mazur ripped into his face. The jaw bone was cracked and required surgery.</p><p>Mayer had been instrumental in holding the Barons in the running during a period when suspensions and other head-aches had beset the club.</p><p>Hendy, nor the Barons, apparently had conception of just how important Mayer was.</p><p>Both Hendy and Coach Jackie Gordon welcomed Rigazio into the nets with no fear of the consequences.</p><p>After all, Rigazio was a fourtime star of European hockey tours, once being named AllWorld Goalie. He was an out-standing performer at Louisville last year and so impressed Eddie Olson, the former Baron, that Olson suggested to Hendy that he grab Rigazio.</p><h2><b>Rigazio Had. Confidence</b></h2><p>As for Don, there was no lack of confidence. Prior to his initiation on the professional firing line against the Provi-dence Reds here Friday, October 30, he was cool and realistic.</p><p>&ldquo;I might get beat,&rdquo; he declared, &ldquo;but it won&rsquo;t be because I&rsquo;m not confident.&rdquo;</p><p>That night the league-leading Reds ripped six shots past Rigazio and the Barons lost6-3.</p><p>The following night Buffalo&rsquo;s Bisons stomped into the Cleveland Arena and after their stampede was over, Rigazio had watched eight more biscuits zoom past him. The Barons lost 8-5.</p><p>The following night, Sunday, the Barons moved over to Buffalo where Rigazio again was victimized to the extent of an eight-goal barrage and the Barons lost this one, 8-4.</p><p>But Hendy had seen enough after the first Buffalo game at Cleveland.</p><h2><b>New Cage Cop</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-1525/1665592-1-eng-US/f0009-152.jpg" title="f0009-15" width="530" height="534"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gil Boisvert</b></figcaption></div><p>He started the phone wires burning for help. At Montreal the following day he showed up for a confab with Detroit&rsquo;s Jack Adams and the outcome of their conversations was that Boisvert would serve the Barons until Mayer was able to resume his patrol.</p><p>Certainly Rigazio could not be harnessed with the blame for the Barons troubles. They had plenty before the injuryto Mayer. No goaltender ever got less protective cover than did Rigazio in his three-game stint.</p><p>The Barons forwards were listless in their defensive assignments and the defense as porous as Swiss cheese. Given a solid defense and forwards who carried out their prescribed duties, Rigazio would no doubt have been a fine replacement during the emergency.</p><p>The futility of the Barons probably reached a climax in Cleveland Saturday, October 31, against the Bisons when Gordon saw fit to bench the Barons&rsquo; captain, Freddy (No Kid) Glover. Glover was not benched because of poor performance but because he was incurring too many cheap penalties. After 11 games he had 46 minutes.</p><p>Twelve minutes after the start of the game, Glover was handed a 10-minute misconduct for remarks to linesmen Freddy Thurier.</p><p>When his time was up, Gordon just kept him on the bench until late in the third period. It must have been a frightful night for the coach.</p><p>For years, Glover has been one of his closest friends and most respected performers. In the face of these feelings, Gor-don displayed strong fiber and admirable discipline.</p><p>As for Glover, a real solid, tough pro, the reprimand no doubt will be accepted as a real solid, tough. pro would be expected to accept it&mdash;with dignity.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Rookie Howie (Howitzer) Young and first-year pro Dick Mattiussi were the other regulars&hellip;</p><p>And a weight problem with Labrosse forced Kraftcheck to pair Young and Mattiussi while he played with Labrosse.</p><p>Despite the inexperienced back-liners, the rocketing Rochester Americans rolled to six wins in their first eight outings and gave up only two goals per game.</p><p>Ciesla is noted a good checker and a fine stick-handler, hence general manager Jack Riley&rsquo;s decision to make him a defenseman. The big fellow scored only 26 goals in 269 NHL games with Chicago and New York, but was used very little by either club.</p><p>And if the Americans are hit by injuries to any of their centermen, Ciesla can move up front.

Player-coach Steve Kraftcheck, who wasn&rsquo;t whistled off in the first seven outings, drew three minors in the Hershey game.</p><p>In the three-plus years the Amerks have been in the circui, they&rsquo;ve won 70, lost 27 and tied 11 home games, while winning 34, losing 65 and tieing 5 on the road. They&rsquo;re overall &ldquo;lifetimes&rdquo; are, as of Nov. 2, 27-13-1 against Springfield, 21-17-3 against Cleveland, 19-17-6 against Providence, 19-20-2 against Buffalo, 16-25-4 against Hershey and 2-0-0 against Quebec.</p><p>Rookies scored 13 of the Amerks&rsquo; 30 goals in the first eight games.

Amerks Forced To Convert Hank Ciesla To Defenseman

<div class="byline">By JOHN TRAVERS Harrisburg, Fa. Fatrlot-Newa Sports Writer</div><p>HERSHEY, Pa.&mdash;</p><p>The 1959-60 American League season isn&rsquo;t beyond the toddling stage and already the Hershey Bears are having their troubles on the road.</p><p>For the past three years, despite a league and two Calder Cup titles, Hershey has had its problems on foreign ice.</p><p>In the first five away scraps, the Bears show only one win, a 3-0 shutout of Buffalo, a rival, for some unexplained reason, that has never been much of a problem for Hershey at the New York club&rsquo;s rink. The Bears have six shutouts in two seasons at Buffalo.</p><p>The main trouble with the Bears in the hinterlands is lack of goals, a phase which also has been bugging them at home since the outset. Through 12 games, Hershey scored 25 goals, while allowing 28.</p><p>Hershey has ten goals for and 16 against on opponent ice.</p><p>Last season the Bears were 1319-3 away from home and the previous campaign hit an even. 500 with 15-15-5.</p><p>The so-called big guns&mdash;Dune Fisher, Les Duff, Willie Marshall, Hec Lalande, et al, have yet to make any noise of consequence. Marshall was tied with rookie winger Brian Smith for the goal getting lead at the dozen game mark. Each had four.</p><p>Fisher, an automatic 30 goal scorer, suffered rib injuries Quebec, Oct. 27, and a skater of his ability being on the shelf will certainly be felt by the club.</p><p>Ray Kinasewich, another rookie winger, who scored 100 goals in the last three years in the Western League, has yet to show that calibre of play in the AHL.</p><p>&ldquo;The &ldquo;Pappy&rdquo; of the club, Bobby Solinger, who was AHL&rsquo;s first &ldquo;Rookie of the Year&rdquo; award winner in 1947, has been more than holding his end.

Bears Become Lame Ducks Playing In Other Guy’s Rink

<div class="byline">By JACK HORRIGAN</div><p>BUFFALO, N.Y&mdash;</p><p>For a player ticketed to center Buffalo&rsquo;s third line to admit aiming at a 30-35 goal season may sound a bit extravagant.</p><p>That was what Larry Wilson did though at training camp this fall.</p><p>The 29-year-old Wilson, now in his fifth season with Buffalo, isn&rsquo;t given to rash statements, either.</p><p>He just felt that his physical condition was such that he had a good season ahead. And it would, be tough to try and find countering arguments today.</p><p>In the Bisons&rsquo; first 10 games, Larry scored 8 goals, including two game winners. His peak production was a four-goal outburst against Cleveland Nov. 1.</p><p>Although he bagged three &ldquo;hat tricks&rdquo; in one season, the quartet of red light lighters was Wilson&rsquo;s first such production in 272 games as a Bisons. It followed by one night as similar four-goal spree by right winger Eddie Kachur against the same Barons.</p><p>At Wilson&rsquo;s current goal gathering rate, he&rsquo;d have 56 goals at the season&rsquo;s end. Coach Dit Clapper will settle for that total for Wilson&mdash;and any other forward one might care to mention.</p><p>While he has been scoring himself, Wilson has not trailed off in the playmaking department&mdash;the major role of a center.</p><p>Left winger Dickie Gamble has a brace of goals&mdash;aand several missed opportunities to haunt him. Wally Hergesheimer started the season on the right side of this line and also had, two goals to his credit when Bashin&rsquo; Bob Bailey joined the club.</p><p>Bailey was moved into Herge-sheimer&rsquo;s place to give the line both a &ldquo;policeman&rdquo; and better checking balance. Hergy, it should be pointed out, was playing as well as&mdash;if not better than&mdash;any other right flanker on the squad at the time.</p><p>Bailey not only gave the Wilson line the qualities Clapper had hoped he would, he came through with three goals in his first five games, including a game winner.</p><p>This so-called third line, therefore, had accounted for the winning goal in three of Buffalo&rsquo;s initial four wins and 15 of the team&rsquo;s 31 goals.</p><p>BISONS BRIEFS&hellip;Left winger Pete Conacher, after considerable delay while he pondered his future outside hockey, has decided to take another fling at the pro game. He signed with the Bisons, who owned his pro rights and allowed him to accompany the Canadian amateur team to Europe last year. Conacher was with Buffalo as the Clappermen departed for a four-game road trip which beban in Quebec City Nov. 3.</p><p>Conacher&rsquo;s addition gave the Bisons four portsiders&mdash;Gamble, Lorne Ferguson and Billy Dea. Each of the four has considerable NHL experience.</p><p>There was some thought that Conacher, if he earns a spot on the club, might work into the power play&mdash;a department in which the Herd has been weak this season.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-02307/1665623-1-eng-US/f0010-022.jpg" title="f0010-02" width="310" height="454"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Larry wdson</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Larry Wilson Puts On Early Spurt In Drive For 35 Goals

<div class="byline">By BUSTER CLEGG</div><p>PROVIDENCE, R.I.&mdash;</p><p>When the Reds broke camp with the Boston Bruins and came to Providence for the final phases of training, they brought with them a 24-year-old center named Stan Baliuk. Just who this Stan Baliuk was, Reds&rsquo; fans didn&rsquo;t know&mdash;at least not then.</p><p>Stan Baliuk, whose name is pronounced as if it were spelled &ldquo;Baluke&rsquo;&rsquo;, was born in Port Arthur, Ontario, on October 5, 1935. After a early childhood upbringing of hockey and&rsquo; more hockey, Stan landed himself a playing spot on the Ft. Wayne Junior Canadiens where he centered for three seasons. Later he played for the powerful Kitchener Waterloo Juniors.</p><p>In 1954-55 Stan had a brief pro tryout with the Montreal Royals of the Quebec Hockey League. After returning to Junior hockey for a season, Baliuk turned pro with Chicoutimi of the QHL in 1956-57., A Boston Bruins farmhand, Stan&rsquo; spent the 1957-58 season mainly in Victoria of the Western League, but had a short AHL stay of 5 games with the Springfield Indians. In 1958-59 Baliuk played 55 games for the &ldquo;Victoria Cougars, and had his best season in pro hockey, sniping 28&rsquo; goals and adding 26 assists for 54 points in WHL competition.</p><p>Baliuk came to the Reds this fall as an unheralded rookie center. Unlike many of the widely publicized freshmen flashes that break into the AHL, Stan was comparatively unknown.</p><p>It has taken Providence and AHL fans only four weeks to learn and recognize Stan Baliuk. At this writing, the short, blond-haired center is tied for the AHL scoring lead with Springfield&rsquo;s Bill Sweeney. In his 12 games this season as a Rhode Island Red, Stan has fired 3 goals and a league leading total of 12 assists for 15 points.</p><p>Where did this Stan Baliuk come from? Out of the blue? Not by any means. When Heds&rsquo; GM Terry Reardon and coach Jack Crawford put their bid in for Baliuk this fall, the Providence brass knew exactly what they were doing. In coach Crawford&rsquo;s words: &ldquo;Terry and I were impressed with Stan&rsquo;s play right from the start. Baliuk showed a real knack for setting up plays, and he controlled the puck with exceptional skill. Stan proved to us from the first day that he was the center we needed.&rdquo;</p><p>However much previous faith Reds&rsquo; brass had in Baliuk, the crafty center has now exceeded all expectations. Stan seems to have rapidly adjusted to the AHL style of bruising puck play. The peak of Baliuk&rsquo;s play thus far came over the Hallowe&rsquo;en weekend when he chalked up seven assists, five of them in one game at Cleveland.</p><p>As to the merit of Baliuk&rsquo;s scant number of goals and grand total of assists, Terry Reardon has offered: &ldquo;A team can&rsquo;t score goals without someone to make the play. Stan has been doing this job, and every one of his assists has been hard earned.&rdquo;</p><p>The likable little Stan Baliuk has been totaling up the points as of late, proving himself a capable AHL centerman, and a valuable asset to the Rhode Island Reds. The onetime &ldquo;unknown soldier&rdquo; of the Reds is making a name for himself.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-05160/1665716-1-eng-US/f0010-052.jpg" title="f0010-05" width="290" height="444"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Stan Baliuk</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Veteran Pete Kapusta Gets Outright Release From ‘Peg

<div class="byline">By DON FLEMING Of The Edmonton. Journal</div><p>EDMONTON, Alta.&mdash;</p><p>This could be a little like rubbing it in. The other day somebody mentioned the possibility that the Chihawks might shortly be returning Phil Maloney to the Vancouver Canuks.</p><p>&ldquo;Hmm,&rdquo; coach Art Chapman was reported to have commented. &ldquo;Well, it&rsquo;s riot too important, because we&rsquo;re going pretty well anyway.&rdquo;</p><p>Whatever about their going along at a winning percentage of. 833, the Canucks aren&rsquo;t that much of a super-club, minor league edition, that they couldn&rsquo;t do with that old smoothie.</p><p>During an earlier hitch with the Canucks before being called back up to the majors, all Maloney did was win the WHL scoring crown and the most valuable player award.</p><p>So Maloney&rsquo;s return, if it materializes, would be strictly ho-hum stuff? Messrs. Chapman and Coley Hall must really be laughing.</p><p>Speaking of a &ldquo;super&rdquo; tag, as we were a while back, Bud Poile is polishing up his handy superlatives to get across how he feels about his freshman defenceman, Lloyd Haddon.</p><p>&ldquo;Even if he is a rookie, he&rsquo;s the key guy to our defence at the moment,&rdquo; Poile comments.</p><p>&ldquo;And I don&rsquo;t think that when Coflin and MacPherson get back into the lineup, they&rsquo;ll take it away from him.</p><h2><b>Has Natural Ability</b></h2><p>&ldquo;This kid&rsquo;s going to be a dandy. He&rsquo;s not too far off either. He has plenty of poise for a youngster, and he doesn&rsquo;t make many bad moves. He has natural ability and he is a smart one. He&rsquo;ll develop, all right.&rdquo;.</p><p>He was that silver lining in that dark overcast that shrouded the Flyers in their coast trip. Haddon, who-came up from the Hamilton juniors to play a few games for Flyers at the end of last season, was used for close to 50 minutes each night last week.</p><p>For that matter, Gordon Strate wasn&rsquo;t exactly a disappointment on the Pacific swing, either. The big fellowloves those small rinks, and he gave the Edmonton club full value.</p><p>So what accounts for the Flyers&rsquo; woes? Well, surprisingly enough, the club may. have a few minions around who don&rsquo;t go their best lick on the road.</p><p>That doesn&rsquo;t make for a Flyer club the fans around the circuit have come to know down through the years. They&rsquo;ve always been a creditable road team, and seldom far off a. 500 pace in the strongholds of the enemy. Much like the Canucks themselves, though Chapman gears his clubs much more to defensive hockey, at the cost of not being overly spectacular.</p><p>If things, are somewhat topsyturvy in the Flyer camp,&rsquo; then it&rsquo;s in keeping with the rest of the league.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-1521/1665876-1-eng-US/f0011-152.jpg" title="f0011-15" width="279" height="414"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Bud Poile</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Poile Starts Polishing Up ‘Super Tag’ For Haddon

<div class="byline">By KAYE CORBETT</div><p>CALGARY. Alta&mdash;</p><p>Vancouver Canucks, to the surprise of just nobody are making shambles of the Western Hockey League.</p><p>At the time this scribe took pen in hand, the west coast pucksters held a 10-3 record and as the man said, &lsquo;Dat&rsquo;s preety good&rsquo;.</p><p>What lies behind the success?</p><p>Ask coach Art Chapman and he&rsquo;ll tell you it&rsquo;s experience and two fellows by the names of Silent Ed&rsquo; Dorohoy and Colin Kilburn.</p><p>Although Silent Eddie had his best year potting 109 points with the Calgary Stampeders last campaign. squabbles with El Cusso Kyle led for him being peddled off to Vancouver. At the rate Dorohoy has been pouring in the goals, Kyle could be sorry?</p><p>Just to make sure of a potent scoring punch. Chapman brought along Kilburn from the Victoria Cougars.</p><p>A more dangerous pair inside an opposing blueline is hard to visualize.</p><p>Canucks have power plus color from the goal out. Twine tender Hank Bassen, the minor league&rsquo;s J. Plante has been thought as the next successor to John Bower in the Leaf nets. Wandering Hank is considered to be one of the finer goalies in hockey and came to the far west from the defunct Springfield Indians of the AHL.</p><p>On defence there&rsquo;s four rugged veterans&mdash;Brent McNab, Sandy Hucul, Ralph Keller and former Ranger Larry Cahan.</p><p>Down through the center ice area where it really counts, Chapman has introduced such speedballs as Ray Cyr, Dorohoy and Dave Duke Along the right and left sides, Bruce Carmichael, Bob Kabel, Ron Hutchison, Jim Powers and Lester (Big Daddy) Colwill sport their wares.</p><p>Little wonder they have been tabbed the squad to beat.</p><p>But while Canucks have come out flying, experts (??) have been wondering if the Victoria Cougars are really second place material. Bossman Hal Laycoe, never quoted for optimistic predictions during his hockey career, seems to believe they are maybe even hit parade stuff.</p><p>The Cougar pilot predicts, his squad will do alright this year. Reason for the happy mood after the Islanders wallowed in the lower depths of the WHL last season, has been the sharp playing of net minder Marcel Pelletier, who has given some sparkling performances.</p><p>On the attacking side he has dimunitive Arnie Schmautz, Arlo Goodwin, Pete Wright, Gordie Haworth, Al Nicholson and Art ones.</p><p>Pressing the Victoria aggregation has been the defending titlists Seattle Totems followed by the Stampeders of Calgary, Edmonton Flyers and Winnipeg Warriors.</p><p>The only weak sister of the loop is Spokane Comets. Comets however have shown improvement with the play of Les Lilley, Del Topell and the defensive work of that nasty (so the other clubs think) Bill Burega.</p><p>So that&rsquo;s the picture right now, but anything could happen and as the man said &lsquo;on with the sheew&rsquo;.</p><h2><b>Hot Canucks</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-01362/1665938-1-eng-US/f0012-012.jpg" title="f0012-01" width="280" height="443"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Colin Kilburn</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-02285/1665931-1-eng-US/f0012-022.jpg" title="f0012-02" width="305" height="456"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Ed.

Vancouver Making Shambles Of Western League Parade

The money, according to Mr. Hanna, was required to meet expenses.&mdash;</p><p>In former years the money was placed in a trust fund and was cared for by the hockey association. They drew from it once a week to meet their weekly expenses. Replying to Mr. Hanna, the arena commission chairman is quoted as saying: &ldquo;Mr. Hanna seems to think it&rsquo;s a dispute. It sounds as if they (the hockey association) are trying to make us the difference between operating this year or folding up. They can&rsquo;t put the blame on us if they fold. Our auditors have advised us not to give them the money. The association will be paid on a game-to-game basis. I can&rsquo;t see why they need all the money now, anyway. The money is kept in a trust fund and at all times there must be sufficient monies to pay back season ticket holders if, by any chance, the hockey team does call it quits.&rdquo;</p><p>Originally, the arena held the money in trust. When the hockey association was formed five years ago, they handled the trust fund. The arena commission and the hockey association are in disagreement over how much of the gate receipts should be turned over to the hockey club. The negotiating team for the hockey association is asking for 87&frac12; per cent of the gate receipts after the hospitals tax is deducted by the arena. This represents any increase of 2&frac12; per cent over last year. Hockey officials estimate the difference to be $3,500. A compromise was finally reached in part when the club received the $11,000, but was refused a larger gate-split they still seek.</p><p>But Chatham is not the only club having problems, because right now Allan Cup champions for the last two seasons, Whitby Dunnies and Belleville McFarlands, are also experiencing their woes, because they are standing fourth and fifth respectively in the five-team group. Whitby has won only two of their six games and Belleville has but one victory in the same number of starts.</p><p>Unlike Whitby, one of the pre-season choices, Windsor Bulldogs are demonstrating why they were coupled with Whitby as the favorites. The Bulldogs seem to have builded well, and perhaps their best move was when they regained goalie Don Head, who was traded back to them by Chatham Maroons in exchange for defenceman Elmer Skov. Head is back in the form he displayed when with Chatham. Another welcome note in the Windsor camp is the resurgence of the veteran rightwinger, Gord Haidy, who has been potting goals regularly. Haidy, a Windsor resident, played with Chatham last season, after a poor year with the Bulldogs the year before.</p><p>Kitchener Dutchmen, who share second place with Windsor, are slowly, but surely rounding up a contending team to represent Canada at the 1960 Olympic Games tourney. The Dutchmen have won three of their first five games, and it is worth mentioning that their newcomers are proving all that was expected of them, with Ron Muir, formerly of Cornwall, Bob Forharn and Cliff Pennington being real factors in keeping the Dutchmen in the thick of things.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-03220/1665976-1-eng-US/f0012-032.jpg" title="f0012-03" width="277" height="419"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gordy Haidy</b></figcaption></div><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-04161/1665969-1-eng-US/f0012-042.jpg" title="f0012-04" width="1821" height="1433"></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Yet when a Kingston cop tapped Murph Chamberlain, coach of Sudbury Wolves, on the shoulder saying a few words in a low voice he was likely sounding a keynote speech.</p><p>&ldquo;Tell your players to quiet down and watch their language&rdquo; said the cop to Murph. And Chamberlain, a doughty old warrior of thousands of hockey games, their incidental squabbles and quarrels, said when he went home that he never saw or received such sound protection in his expensive hockey career as that offered by a small squad of Kingston constabularly.</p><p><b>To the toughtful the keynote interpretation of the copper&rsquo;s action and brief instruction, was this: Let&rsquo;s keep our infant professional hockey operation free of rowdyism, and basically, obscenity and profanity. That&rsquo;s what the policemen meant.</b></p><p>The players benches in too many rinks sound-off with too much blasphemy&mdash;four-letter words and longer words&mdash;that wouldn&rsquo;t be permitted in coacktail lounges, even in the frowsier bar-rooms. In many cases coaches, who should set a decent example to their charges, are not without blame.</p><p>The Kingston cop&mdash;likely was acting on orders from his chief. So this chief rates a hearty vote of thanks from the Eastern Professional Hockey League president The chief executive of the league might think it worthy of a letter of thanks, and at the same time similar action suggested to authorities in other cities where complaints on profanity from the athletes has been overhead.</p><p><b>Professional hockey has been launched as an experiment in four cities in the EPHL where the senior &ldquo;amateur&rdquo; brand foundered. These four locales joined the two older cities&mdash;Montreal and Trois-Rivieres&mdash;which were survivors of the Quebec League</b></p><p>Attendance has been very encouraging in practically every EPHL location since it got off the ground in early October. In most center a happy, though slow increase in enthusiasm and turnstile count has been noted.</p><p>Seasoned hockey addicts will tell you that this new pro circuit with its teams in which experienced pro talent is merged with rookie prowess of acknowledged class, offers fast, exciting competition.</p><p>In sudbury, Kingston, Sault Ste-Marie and Hull, they&rsquo;ll tell you it&rsquo;s superior to the bootleg amateur brand they formerly witnessed.</p><p>In Montreal and Trois-Rivieres, it&rsquo;s preferred to the old Quebec League product.</p><p><b>Club owners end their executives surely realize that they have something odd going for them. Surely they want it to last. It certainly won&rsquo;t if they are not wary. All precautions should be taken with the full co-operation of rink-staffs and local police that &ldquo;billingsgate&rdquo; of the type that is heard only in poorly disciplined barrack-rooms be stamped out, especially when it originates at the benches of where the athletes are seated.</b></p><p>In most well-runk rinks the cash customer who is unruly or objectionable in language or conduct is ejected and given his money back. Some who are apprehended after throwing things on the ice are more drastically treated, often season tickets are cancelled.</p><p>If the athletes can&rsquo;t understand that a hockey game should be attractive entertainment for wives, mothers and sisters who happen to be seated within ear-shot of their benches, then it&rsquo;s up to the club leaders to take stern, measures.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

The scoffers, that is.</p><p>While the Trois-Rivieres Lions haven&rsquo;t exactly been scaring anybody, they&rsquo;ve done a lot to get things moving. When they lost seven stars off the 1958-59 assembling line in the QHL, a lot of other outfits now doing well in the new shinny loop benefitted.</p><p>For instance John Sleaver (10 goals last season) is with Sudbury Wolves. Matt Ravlich (14) is with Soo T-Birds. Bob Courcy (29) was grabbed by Volatile Sammy Pollock for his Hull-Ottawa party and Orval Tessier (27) was hooked by Kingston Frontenacs.</p><p>Add to the above named ex Lions, some crewmen in the AHL: Ed Hoekstra (19) with Cleveland; Norm Corcran (13) with Quebec Aces and able defender Bob McCord (8) at Springfield and it totals 110 tallies.</p><p>But Del Dugre, v.p. and general-manager, and playing-coach Gerry Dessaulniers are not dismayed.</p><p>They feel they have a nucleus of a good team again&mdash;one that is going to raise plenty of trouble against all-comers. They point to the number of tied games and the cluster of contests lost by only one goal.</p><p>Claude Evans came back from Providence to tend the netting as Ray Mikulan departed to act as understudy to Gump Worsley with New York Rangers.</p><p>Ted Hodgson, working-off a troublesome knee injury, is to man the defense ramparts shortly. He&rsquo;ll be joined by Dino Mascotto, who played last season at Providence. Mascotto married a Trois-Rivieres girl between seasons and wants to settle in the city.</p><p>Regular rearguards already with the Lions are Frank Roggoveen, a WHL toiler last season, Rollie Leclerc, a high scoring winger these many semesters in the QHL, who wants to be a blue-liner. Andre Martin, the kid with so many bro-thers and sisters (29), came up from Louisville, Ky. He&rsquo;s one of Jim Hendy&rsquo;s proteges and Wally Chevrier also from Vancouver is another defenseman.</p><p>Desaulniers&rsquo; &ldquo;main line&rdquo; appears to be Gilles Thibault, Bob Sabou-rin and Jean Paul Denis, none of whom require credentials for minor league hockey.</p><p>Vancouverite Mai Pearson and Sandy McGregor have been flanking Coach Desaulniers on another line.&rsquo; Bob Robinson, a Woodstock, Ont., native, has worked at centre with Dave Balon and Leon Roche fort.</p><p>Balon was with Saskatoon last year and Robinson was in Vancouver while Rochefort, a rookie phenom, junior with Guelph Biltmores, has own well by gathering 11 points, including five goals in the early season&rsquo;s run, while another youngster rated a chance to make good is Wayne Hall, last season with Flin Flon Juniors.</p><p>While Desaulniers has been experimenting with his front lines he at times centered a lined flanked by Hall on the left and McGregor on the right side.</p><p>When such a formation was going Robinson pivoted Pearson and McGregor.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-10155/1666163-1-eng-US/f0013-102.jpg" title="f0013-10" width="356" height="452"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gerry Desaulniers</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

HOCKEY CROSSWORD

<div class="byline">By JACK COOK</div><p>SASKATOON, Sask.&mdash;</p><p>The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League just isn&rsquo;t what it used to be for the, mighty Flin Flon Bombers.</p><p>Defending league champions, the Bombers embarked on the first of four southern swings last week but their reception hasn&rsquo;t been anything like in past years&mdash;Flin Flon is having trouble.</p><p>With five road games under their belts, the Bombers have managed an even split&mdash;two wins, two losses and a tie. For most clubs, this would be an average road record. For Flin Flon, it&rsquo;s surprising.</p><p>To start with, Bombers had to battle from behind to tie Saskatoon Quakers 5-5 in overtime. Next they bowed 6-5 to Prince Albert Mintos; edged sixth-ranking Estevan Bruins 3-1; floundered before a powerful Regina Pat attack for a 6-0 lacing; and finally nipped lastplace Moose Jaw Canucks, 4-2.</p><p>Last year is a fine example of a typical Flin Flon start in the SJHL. They came out of their initial road trip with four wins in five starts and a sizeable 28-12 scoring advantage.</p><p>In fact, last year, it wasn&rsquo;t until Dec. 4, on the club&rsquo;s next road swing, that Flin Flon lost its second game by a 3-2 count to Regina. At that time their record stood at 16 wins, one loss.</p><p>Right now, Bombers are battling with Saskatoon and Melville for third spot. The three clubs are tied, four points back of co-leading Regina and Prince Albert.</p><p>Pats earned five points last week, tying lowly Estevan 2-2 in a surprise move, nipping Melville 5-4 and blanking Flin Flon. Mintos won twice, stopping Bombers 6-5 and Estevan 6-1.</p><p>Centre Chick Balon of Prince Albert is still the scoring leader with 22 points on 10 goals and 12 assists. Linemate Billy Wilkes is next in line with 21 points and Gerry Wilkie of Regina is third with 20 points.</p><p>Balon is the top goal-getter with 10 while Wilkes and Wilkie are tied for assists with 13 apiece.</p><p>Right-winger Don Wilson is Saskatoon&rsquo;s top man with 14 points; Bob Bartlett leads Melville with 11 points, the same as Estevan&rsquo;s best, Ernie Dyda.</p><p>Coach Frank Mario of Regina received some good news during the week when it was learned that holdover Scott Watson would be returning to the club from the University of Michigan. Watson was a 21-goal man last year and finished with 19 assists for 40 points.</p><h2>SJHL STANDINGS (On Wed.

Happy Birthday To You

<div class="byline">By JACK GATECLIFF</div><p>ST. CATHARINES, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>On the eve of the opening game of the Ontario Hockey Association junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; series, Hap Emms, the perpetual mourning coach of the Barrie Flyers, predicted that his team would be fortunate indeed if it finished as high as sixth in the seven-team league.</p><p>&ldquo;In fact,&rdquo; said Emms at that time, &ldquo;I have studied the rosters of the other six clubs in the league and for the life of me I can&rsquo;t find one that we can beat&rdquo;</p><p>Just 48 hours after this pessimistic observation by the former National Hockey League player, the Flyers had found two clubs &ldquo;that they could beat.&rdquo;</p><p>They started off by trimming the defending champion Peterborough Petes 6-3 right in Peterborough, followed that up the following night by spotting the Toronto Marlboros a 2-0 lead, then coming from behind to win 3-2 in Barrie.</p><p>Those two victories gave the Flyers a share of first place with Toronto St. Michael&rsquo;s Majors.</p><p>Ranked as one of the best teams to skate under double blue colors in at least five years, St. Michael&rsquo;s also won its first two games of the season.</p><p>They defeated Guelph Biltmores 4-1 in Guelph, then opened the Sunday doubleheader at home with a 4-2 win over the Petes.</p><p>In last place at the completion of the 1958-59 schedule, Hamilton Tiger-Cubs also flexed some promising muscles.</p><p>The Cubs scored a 6-3 victory at home over St. Catharines Teepees, held the Teeps to a 4-4 draw in St. Catharines two nights later but lost 5-1 to Toronto Marlboros Sunday afternoon.</p><p>The three points the Tiger-Cubs picked up at the expense of last year&rsquo;s pennant-winners, the Teepees, was especially pleasing to Hamilton Coach Jerry Brown.</p><p>Last season the Teepees scored eight straight victories over the Cubs, in fact the last Hamilton win against St. Catharines was in the Hamilton Forum Jan. 16, 1958.</p><p>Although the junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; season is still in its infancy, open season has already been declared on goaltenders.</p><p>In the second game of the doubleheader in Toronto Sunday Denny Jordan, brilliant Hamilton goalie stopped a high shot by the Marlboros&rsquo; Don Curry by using his front teeth.</p><p>The cut required eight stitches to close.</p><p>Later in the game Bert Templeton of the Cubs clipped the Dukes&rsquo; Ken Broderick on the side of the head and the brother of former Marlboro goalie Len Broderick was sewn for six stitches.</p><p>Although there&rsquo; seems to be some opposition to the wearing of face masks in the National Hockey League it is quite possible that junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; goaltenders in Ontario may adopt the face guards if any more of their &ldquo;union&rdquo; are bounced in the next few weeks.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-04221/1666456-1-eng-US/f0015-042.jpg" title="f0015-04" width="265" height="442"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Hap Emms</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>
