Laycoe Debunks Bud’s Theory That Females Hinder Ice Athletes
VICTORIA, B.C.— As one of a vanishing race of colorful personalities who make their living from professional hockey, Norman (Bud) Poile is also a modest, self-styled authority on women. It was only a few days ago that Poile addressed a businessmen’s association meeting in his capacity as general manager and coach of Edmonton Flyers of the Western Hockey League. Poile’s subject was women and their effect on modern professional athletes. He gave a vivid and wordy description of how girl friends and wives hinder athletes, mainly hockey players. The following quote from Poile’s address summed up his opinion on the matter and appeared in newspapers from coast to coast. “It’s very seldom that you’ll find even a young pro athlete who is obsessed with improving himself and his team. His mind is on too many…
“Lots Of Luck,” Says Bronco About Spree

I figure that on a good night I get maybe two or three real…
Philly Good Bet To Take It All In EHL
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.— This is Dougie Adam’s second season as coach of the Philadelphia Ramblers in the Eastern Hockey League. And it looks like he finally has “his kind of team.” When Owner George Davis plucked Adam from the Charlotte Clippers at the close of the 1957-58 campaign to replace the ousted Edgar “Chrip” Brenchley as the Ramblers’ mentor, Doug inherited a roster that was built by his predecessor. He made some changes last year—his first anywhere as a coach—to try and transform the team into one that would play his type of hockey—which is the direct opposite of Brenchley’s control and defense method. Rukavina Back In Fold Now Doug feels his rebuilding Job is over and is ready to settle down and make a serious threat for the EHL crown. There are only three players…
