Trophy Night At Olympia Is Howe Night At Olympia
DETROIT, Mich.— Trophy Night at Olympia might better be called Gordie Howe Night. Because when it’s time to give out the hardware, the Red Wing captain always needs the arms of an octopus to carry home all his loot. It wasn’t any different this year. Here’s what Gordie picked up: —Harry A. Gormley Trophy as leading point scorer on the team. It’s his fifth straight and ninth in 10 years. —Frank J. Murphy Memorial Trophy as top goal scorer. It’s the 11th straight time on this one. —Hockey Writers’ Association Award as Most Valuable Red Wing. The MVP is the fifth straight and seventh in the last nine years. —Trans-Canada Airlines Trophy for the second time and it’s been in existence only two years. Gordie won it for gaining the most points in the three star selection…
Blues’ Cord Post All Al’s To Take
NEW YORK, N.Y.— The Rangers have formally invited Al Rollins to Fall training camp and all indications are that the lanky one will be the Blueshirt goalkeeper next year…if he accepts the invite. “If he wants to come back,” said general manager Muzz Patrick, “we want him. All we need is Al’s okay and we’ll make a deal for him.” Both Winnipeg Warriors and Chicago Black Hawks have strings on Rollins who was on loan to the Rangers this season. But the Blueshirts don’t anticipate difficulty in unraveling the red tape. Patrick’s problem is to con Rollins into coming back. Al’s indecision is based on demands of his hotel supply business and his family. If he moves to New York, it’ll mean another year away from work and it’ll mean he’ll have to move his…

Reds’ Goaler To Fight It Out With Simmons; Lumley To Get A Job In System
BOSTON, Mass.— Stabilization of their goalkeeping situation is the Bruins’ leading project for next season. Gone from the Bruins’ plans is the platoon system used this season with indifferent success. Gone, too, is Harry Lumley, greatest substitute goalkeeper of recent years. Included in the Bruins’ thoughts on the situation are two men younger than Lumler, 28-year-old Don Simmons and 21-year Bruce Gamble. Bruins’ building of a Stanley Cup contender will be from the goal out, according to Manager Lynn Patrick. “A team with problems in goal can’t get very far,” Patrick pointed out, “and the elimination of our goalkeeping problem is our big job. “Actually, we haven’t been without a problem in goal since the 1955-56 season when Terry Sawchuk played 68 games for us. Starting with the next season, when Sawchuk left us, we’ve had one…
