ST. CATHARINES, Ont.— Rod Gilbert, high scoring right winger with the Guelph Biltmores, continues to hold the points lead in the Ontario Hockey Association junior “A” series but threatening noises are being heard from at least three other players. Top man in the provincial scoring derby for 11 consecutive weeks, the latest statistics showed Gilbert with 26 goals and 34 assists for 60 points in just 29 games.

Shore Advised Bertelli Quit Hockey For Notre Dame Books

Ed Lauded At Springfield Banquet SPRINGFIELD, Mass.—. Angelo Bertelli was a gifted: athlete with major league potential in three different sports—football, hockey and baseball. When a senior at Springfield Cathedral High School, back in the late thirties, Bertelli was one of the most scouted youngster this area had ever known. And he could have named his ticket almost anywhere. A number of colleges wanted him for his football ability, the Cincinnati Redlegs for his batting prowess and Eddie Shore of the.

Let’s Make Pros Of Amateurs Who Pick Loop Stars

BOSTON, Mass.— The voting for player awards for the first half of the National Hockey League season is over, but the melody lingers on. And it’s the same old song they’re singing, those not pleased by the results of the voting. Through the papers and in radio and television interviews dissatisfied hockey officials and; in some cases, dissatisfied players, are criticizing the results. In some cases so are non-participating writers. On whom is their wrath falling? On the Mr. Anonymous of the NHL polls, the “so-called expert.” Well, I’ve been taking part in the NHL voting for 10 or 12 years. In that time I have never been hailed as an expert, but I guess I have qualified as a “so-called expert” more than once. I’ve heard the jazz from club officials anticipating unfavorable box office…
