Player-of-the-Week
Bruce Gamble… …Providence Reds PROVIDENCE, RI.—Goaler Bruce Gamble of the Providence Reds, rated by many as the next goaler of the Boston Bruins, helped the Reds move into third place in the AHL standing this week by allowing just five goals against in three games. In winning three, all against top dubs, the Reds moved back into third over Cleveland by a tingle point. The Reds did something last weekend that no other club has been able to do all season. That was to whip the league leading Springfield Indians in a back-to-back series. On March 19th they defeated the Indians 6-1 right in Springfield. It was the worst beating the Braves had taken on their own ice all season. Then last Sunday night the Reds errupted again and this time trimmed…

Jack McCartan’s Dream World After the last three exciting weeks, going back to Army duty is going to be something of an anti-climax for Jack McCartan, who has finished his four-game stint with the New York Rangers. “It’s got to be an awful letdown,” he told Arch Murray, who would be in Vero Beach at this time of year if the Dodgers hadn’t moved to Los Angeles. “I haven’t been on regular Army duty since Nov. 1. That’s when I was given what they call temporary duty to serve with he Olympic hockey team. And since the end of the Olympics I’ve been on leave. “But I might as well face it. I’ve got four months of Army duty left minus about 12 days. But it’s a job that has to be completed…
Called Key To Million Dollar Trio
CHICOGO, Ill- A stocky, soft-smiling right winger who wasn’t even around the National Hockey League a year ago has hustled his way into stardom and the role of a leading threat with the Black Hawks this season. Twenty-five-year-old Murray Balfour, as modest as he is aggressive, doesn’t say much with his lips, but his driving legs and total desire have played a part bigger than has been credited with the success of Chicago’s No. 1 line by far this year. He’s been bettered in total points by both of his linemates, Bobby Hull and “Red” Hay, but at least one Hawk official rates his work as the secret to the success of the unit that’s succeeded last season’s “Pappies” as the club’s top production section. “That guy’s my man,” says putlicitor Johnny Gottselig. “You…
Dutchies Flop In Senior Round Robin, Macs Get In
STRATFORD, Ont.— How the mighty have fallen. For years the Kitchener Dutchmen have been one of the chief contenders for senior “A” OHA honors, but this season they finished on the bottom of the heap in the five-team round-robin series, tied with Belleville McFarlands, but missed the playoffs because they had a lower goal average. Ernie Goman, Kitchener business manager, contends that the matter of determining the holders of a playoff berth in the event two teams were tied in points at the end of the round-robin was discussed at a senior council meeting, but never came to a vote, and isn’t even mentioned in the minutes of the meeting. Bill Hanley, business manager of the OHA, counters, however, that the teams agreed that OHA rules would apply in case of a…
