The fiery 35-year-old left winger announced that he was leaving the game after three seasons with Chicago Black Hawks. He previously played 13 years with Detroit. Lindsay was one of the most aggressive players ever to perform in the NHL despite his 5&rsquo; 8&rdquo; stature. He scored 823 points, including 365 goals in his illustrious career and participated in 999 games. Ted also appeared in eight all-star games and led the league in scoring in 1949-50.</figcaption></div>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;One of the fiercest competitors hockey has ever known, Ted Lindsay, has decided the time has come to end his long, colorful and stormy 16-year career in the National Hockey League.Lindsay, who reached his 35th birthday July 29, spent 13 glorious seasons with Detroit Red Wings and the last three with the Chicago Black Hawks. He served as ice captain of both clubs.It was the combination of Lindsay, Sid Abel and Gordie Howe that gave the Red Wings one of the most powerful teams in NHL history. Lindsay won the scoring title once but was as well known for his battles on the ice as for his playing ability.<h2>Good Life</h2>I don&rsquo;t want to become an athletic bum,&rdquo; said Lindsay. &ldquo;Hockey has been wonderful to me. The game and the people in it have made my life a good one.&ldquo;I feel I could play one more year, possibly two. But I don&rsquo;t want to milk the thing. I&rsquo;m leaving with a good feeling.&ldquo;I have three children and I want to be with them. My business is at the point now where I would be putting a couple of years of hockey against a business future and I know, after a great deal of thought, that now is the time to call it quits.&rdquo;Lindsay and an ex-Detroit teammate, Marty Pavelich, are partners as manufacturers&rsquo; representatives in Detroit.The 5-foot-8-inch, 165-pound Lindsay scored 833 points &mdash; 365 goals and 468 assists &mdash; for an all-time NHL record for a left winger. He competed in 999 games, missing one last season, because of injury that kept him from his 1,000th game. In his 16year career he spent more time in the penalty box than any other player&mdash;1,635 minutes, or more than a full day in his career.Lindsay, who was one of those rare hockey players who made the jump directly from junior at the age of 18 into the NHL, has touched all the bases in the big time. His name appears in the books over and over and his name proudly adorns-four Stanley Cups as a member of the Red Wings.As further proof that Ted Lindsay was one of the truly great competitors in modern hockey, he was the undisputed all-star left winger in the NHL eight times in 10 years from 1947 to 1957. &#9632;

Moose Jaw junior Canucks of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League have signed ex-Red Wing star Metro Prystai as coach and manager for the club in the 1960-61 season.Prystai, 32, born in Yorkton, played his junior hockey with Moose Jaw from 1934-37 before jumping to the National Hockey League Chicago Black Hawks in 1947. Prystai played in the NHL until 1958. In the 58-59 season he coached Omaha Knights of the International Hockey League.Out in Kelowna, B.C., still another former NHL player, Ray Powell, one-time centre with Chicago Black Hawks, has been appointed coach of Kelowna Packers of the Okanagan Senior League.Powell, who played for Packers in the 1958-59 season, succeeds Jack O&rsquo;Reilly, who resigned to coach Penticton of the OSHL next season. &#9632;

Two Ex-Players Accept Coaching Positions

DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;Jolly Jack Adams, the general manager of the Detroit Red Wings, never lets an occasion go by to extol his right winger, Gordie Howe.In his opinion Howe is hockey&rsquo;s greatest performer. So it was only fitting that he should predict Howe will score 50 goals this year, a difficult task for any hockey player but then as Adams will promptly tell you, Gordie Howe is no ordinary hockey player, and that&rsquo;s true.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0001-0260/1743900-1-eng-US/f0001-022.jpg" title="f0001-02" width="299" height="453"><figcaption class="caption-body">Gordie Howe</figcaption></div>Adams&rsquo; outburst came on the heels of Howe signing his 15th contract with the National Hockey League club. The most valuable player in big time hockey last season thus became the first Red Wing to put his signature on a 1960-61 pact with Detroit. His salary was not disclosed although it has been estimated he receives approximately $20,000.Adams feels the same fondness for Howe as Canadiens&rsquo; managing director Frank Selke does for his fabled scoring ace, Maurice Richard. Both have repeatedly claimed their super-stars are the greatest players ever.<h2>Rocket Holds Mark</h2>The Detroit GM has always boosted Howe for a 50-goal year, achieved only once before in NHL history by Richard in 1944-45.&ldquo;I think Gordie could score 50 goals this year. It&rsquo;s a big challenge but he can do it,&rdquo; added Adams. Despite the Detroit executive&rsquo;s enthusiasm, Gordie collected only 28 goals last season.Howe, who won the NHL scoring title five times in the past, missed tieing Richard&rsquo;s record by one goal in 1952-53 when he tallied 49 times.Howe, 32, is aiming to become the first NHL player to reach the 1,000-point mark. He needs only 23 more points, about two normal months of work for him, to hit that milestone.The 200-pound right winger has scored 446 goals and 531 assists for 977 points. The only player with more goals is &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo; Richard who has a total of 965 points.Howe, from Floral, Sack., joined the Wings in the 1946-47 seasons as a shy 18-year-old. He survived a series of injuries one critical, and will establish a team longevity record at the start of next season. &#9632;

Detroit Chief Sees Big Year For Top Wing

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;EVER SINCE THE New York Rangers were stripped of five players at the 1958 NHL draft meeting and consequently began a two-year plunge to the depths of the league, the annual draft meetings have assumed an increased importance.That is why the 1960 draft meeting was closely analyzed by hockey students in an&rsquo; effort to get a line on the coming race.The prevailing view in NHL quarters is that the recent draft will not have the reverberations of 1958 nor will any club with possibly one exception, bow out of the playoff picture because of failure to cover any of its prospects.Facts indicate that at least two clubs made choices good enough to enhance their positions by at least one rung in the ladder.Starting at the top, the Montreal Canadiens lost in the draft Guy Rousseau and Stan Smrke to Toronto; Ab McDonald, Bob Courcy and Reg Fleming to Chicago; Allan Johnson to Detroit and Billy Carter, Ted Green and Tom Thurlby to Boston.There can be little hope in the five other cities that Montreal has weakened itself by the loss of the nine players. Of the group, McDonald is rated highest yet even he was benched by Canadiens&rsquo; coach Toe Blake during the Stanley Cup finals, thus leaving little doubt that he was expendable. None of the other players figured in Canadiens&rsquo; varsity plans for 1960-61.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01321/1742657-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="248" height="411"><figcaption class="caption-body">Ab McDonald&hellip; May Succeed Lindsay</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02305/1742650-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="294" height="447"><figcaption class="caption-body">Larry Hillman&hellip; Leader for Leafs?</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03278/1742643-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="275" height="445"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jim Morrison&hellip; Lift for Rangers</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-04216/1742636-1-eng-US/f0002-042.jpg" title="f0002-04" width="249" height="436"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jim Bartlett&hellip; Put Beef in Bruins</figcaption></div>However, a liklehood exists that Montreal will suffer by the loss of Thurlby and Carter in two years when the Habs begin to seek replacements for Doug Harvey, Tom Johnson and some of the older players.Frank Selke, the Canadien general manager, was aware of this when he made his draft plans but he had to make sacrifices to protect his championship club. Most observers feel that the Canadiens escaped the draft in better health than ever. They not only retained the entire Cup-winning lineup, with the exception of McDonald, but also were able to protect Jean-Claude Tremblay and Gilles Tremblay, the two most promising players in their farm system.The Maple Leafs, weak in goal, may have come up with a &ldquo;winner&rdquo; in defenseman Larry Hillman, drafted from Chicago via Boston. A failure with Detroit and Boston, Hillman showed leadership qualities last season with Providence and could provide Toronto with enough defense strength to cover up any goaltending inadequacies. There is no evidence in past performances that either Smrke or Rousseau will appreciably aid the Leafs.<h2>Hawks In Need Of Youth</h2>THE FLAW IN CHICAGO&rsquo;S future appears to be an abundance of older players such as Tod Sloan and Jack Evans. This weakness may be counteracted by McDonald, a young seasoned left wing who may succeed the retired Ted Lindsay and Fleming, an interesting defense prospect with high ratings.Detroit made a killing last year when it acquired Gary Aidcorn from Toronto. The pickings do not look as tasty this year for Jack Adams. Of his three acquisitions&mdash;Howie Glover, Chicago, Parker MacDonald, Rangers and Al Johnson&mdash;MacDonald figures as the most helpful. He is a left wing who played adequately for Toronto until injured and never developed at New York because of differences with coach Phil Watson. Unless his trick shoulder acts up, he will aid Detroit but not in the manner of Aidcorn. Glover and Johnson are fringe properties in a class with Gerry Melnyk and Vai Fonteyne. With hustle they might help. However, the loss of Jim Morrison to Rangers could put a big dent in the Wing defense which already is hurting because of the loss of Red Kelly.If you care to believe the rumor mill, the Bruins were in the market for a goaltender, and still are. Instead, they came off with a slight center, Carter, left wing Jim Bartlett, and two defensemen, Green and Thurlby, the latter rated as the best of all draft choices by Selke.The Bruins have been ogling Bartlett, a rambunctious left wing who can skate and score, for two years. His style will coincide beautifully with the Bruin boffo theme. A line of Bartlett, Guy Gendron and anybody in between, would terrorize the opposition. Thurlby is almost certain of cracking the Bruin backline which is aging and in need of a new Fernie Flaman. Green likely will replace Hillman at Providence.Most New York appraisals contend that Morrison alone will be enough to lift the Rangers one notch in the standings. Other than Gadsby, the Rangers have lacked a solid rushing defenseman of Morrison&rsquo;s skill and experience. Ted Hampson, young and willing, acquired from Toronto, may be the third line center and almost certainly will make the team. McNeill&rsquo;s status as a player is uncertain. &#9632;

Canucks Still Solid Club Despite Loses In Draft

CHICAGO, ILL.&mdash;Ed Litzenberger became the first Black Hawk player to sign a contract for the 1960-61 hockey season. It will be Litz&rsquo;s seventh year with the Hawks and thus establishes him as the veteran in point of service with the Chicago Hockey Club.Discussing the contracts, terms of which were not disclosed, Black Hawk General Manager Tommy Ivan stated, &ldquo;We had no trouble coming to a mutual agreement. There&rsquo;s no question but that the tragic accident Litz was involved in last season impaired his goal production. The Big Guy looks in good physical shape and I wouldn&rsquo;t be a bit surprised to see him hit the 30 goal plateau which he attained for three consecutive seasons.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-06110/1742719-1-eng-US/f0002-062.jpg" title="f0002-06" width="242" height="409"><figcaption class="caption-body">Ed Litzenberger</figcaption></div>Litz came to the Black Hawks on Dec. 4, 1954 from the Montreal Canadiens for the sum of $15,000. In his first year as a Hawk he won the Calder Trophy on a total of 23 goals and 28 assists.The next season, Litz suffered the sophomore jinx that seems to go with the &ldquo;rookie award&rdquo; winners and slipped to a meager 10 goals and 29 assists.Then in 1956-57 Ed came back and drew raves as the &lsquo;hottest guy in hockey&rsquo;, turning in a bang-up year with a total of 32 goals and 32 assists. For his performance he was voted to the center post on the N.H.L. Second All-Star Team. Then followed two more bright years as he was again the top Hawk marksman with 32 goals and 30 assists in 1957-58 and 32 goals and 44 asists in 1958-59. &#9632;

Litzenberger Becomes First To Ink New Pact With Chicago Black Hawks

<div class="byline">By HARRY MOLTER</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0002-05" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-05162/1742688-1-eng-US/f0002-052.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">iRANKED HIGH BY HAWKSBOB COURCY</figcaption></div>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;General Manager Tommy Ivan is convinced the Chicago Black Hawks have improved their team during the off season National Hockey League draft and trading sessions.The Black Hawks, third place finishers in the regular NHL race last season, have been involved in deals with three other clubs and 11 players. &hellip;.Most impressive of the Black Hawk newcomers is Ab McDonald, the big left winger obtained in a nine-player trade with the world champion Montreal Canadiens.&ldquo;He&rsquo;s a big kid and a strong skater,&rdquo; said Ivan. &ldquo;He scored only 9 goals last year but he wasn&rsquo;t on the ice too much. He scored better the year before as a rookie with 13 goals and 23 assists. That&rsquo;s not bad for a fourth-line player in the depth of talent the Canadiens have.&ldquo;We feel strongly McDonald has the potential to be a top-grade hockey player. He played minor league hockey at St. Catherines with some of our key men &mdash; Bobby Hull, Moose Vasko and others. He belonged to Canadiens at the time but he was coached by our man in our style of play. This will help him fit right into our pattern this year without too much adjustment.&rdquo;McDonald, whose given name is Alvin, was born in Winnipeg on Feb. 18, 1936. He stands 6 ft. 2 in., weighs 190 pounds and shoots left handed. His minor league record, prior to joining Montreal for the 1958-59 season, was 21 goals, 31 assists at Rochester in 1956-57 and 30 goals, 33 assists there the following season.Three other players who came to the Black Hawks in the deal with Montreal are Bob Courcy, a right winger; Cecil Hoekstra, a center; and Reg Fleming, a defenseman who also has played some at forward.Courcy, who like McDonald is 24, is rated by Ivan and other hockey men as one of the better prospects from the Eastern League. His 46 goals and 56 assists or 102 points put him third in the league scoring race last year, and he was runner-up for most valuable player honors. He played for Hull-Ottawa.Courcy stands 5 ft. 11 in. and weighs 170 pounds. He was born in Granby, Que. His professional experience prior to last year included seasons with Shawinigan, Chicoutimi and Three Rivers, all in the old Quebec Hockey League. His best season was at Three Rivers in 1958-59 when he scored 29 goals, had 22 assists for 51 points.Hoekstra, like McDonald, played under present Chicago coach Rudy Pilous at the Hawks&rsquo; St. Catherines farm team. That was in 1953-54. He turned pro with Montreal Royals the next season for the Quebec League playoffs, and spent the next three seasons with Royals and Winnipeg of the Western Hockey League. He came up to Rochester for 13 games at the end of the 1957-58 season and stayed with them the next two years. His totals as a center last year were 17 goals and 32 assists, and 26 goals and 24 assists the year before.Hoekstra, at 6&rsquo; 1&rdquo; and 175 pounds, is a workhorse type player and may be given a chance to play with Earl Balfour as the Hawks&rsquo; penalty-killing tandem. This would fill the void left with the departure of veteran Glen Skov to Montreal in the nine-player deal. Hoekstra was born in Winnipeg and is 25 years old.Defenseman Fleming played both defense and left wing for Rochester and Kingston Frontenacs last year, scoring 19 goals and 49 assists for 68 points. He stands 5&rsquo; 10&rdquo; and weighs 185 pounds and is being taken to training camp as a defenseman by the Black Hawks.The 24-year-old Fleming was born in Montreal and played for Canadien Juniors from 1953-55, for St. Michael&rsquo;s in 1955-56, and turned pro with Shawinigan the next two seasons. He played for Rochester in 1958-59.In the nine-player deal with Montreal the key man given up by the Black Hawks was Skov, who has been a favorite of Ivan&rsquo;s since Tommy coached the Detroit Red Wings. Skov was one of the first players Ivan brought to Chicago when he came to the Black Hawks as general manager several years ago and Skov&rsquo;s fine defensive play has been a major part of Chicago&rsquo;s successful rebuilding program. But Skov is no youngster. With a probable shot at managing in the minor leagues in the Montreal system, he has moved at the right time.For the record, Skov is 29, joined Detroit in 1950, had 106 NHL goals and 136 assists, and played in 53 Stanley Cup playoff games.Other players given up by Chicago in the Montreal deal were minor league forward Terry Gray, and options on Danny Lewicki, Lorne Ferguson and Bob Bailey.In other off-season deals the Hawks traded forward Howie Glover to Detroit for defenseman Jim Morrison. The latter remained with the Hawks for only 24 hours, then was drafted by the New York Rangers.One additional change in the Black Hawk picture for next year came in mid-July with the announced retirement from hockey of veteran left wing Ted Lindsay. &#9632;

Ill.&mdash;By a mere long distance telephone call &mdash; from Detroit to Chicago &mdash; to general manager Tommy Ivan, veteran forward Ted Lindsay retired from hockey in mid-July.Robert Blake Theodore Lindsay&rsquo;s greatest years were spent with the Detroit Red Wings, which he joined in 1944 at the age of 19. Lindsay spent 13 years at Detroit and the last three at Chicago.The fiery left winger, who was selected as the National Hockey League&rsquo;s all-star left winger eight times in the 10 seasons from 1948 to 1957 &mdash; and the second team once &mdash; played in 999 regular season NHL games. He left his name indelibly inscribed in the NHL record books with a record 1,635 minutes in the penalty box (equal to 27 games) and a career high of 365 goals by a left wing.&ldquo;Terrible Ted&rdquo; gained his greatest fame teamed with Gordie Howe at right wing and Sid Abel at center on Detroit&rsquo;s high-scoring &ldquo;Production Line.&rdquo; During his career he hit the 20-goal mark 11 different seasons, including 33 goals in 1947-48, 30 in 1951-52, 32 in 1952-53, and 30 in 1956-57. His 23 goals and 55 assists for 78 points led The NHL in scoring in 1949-50. His personal high was 30 goals and 55 assists for 85 points in 1956-57, after which season he was traded to Chicago by Detroit.With the Black Hawks for three seasons his goals total read 15, 22 and 7. His best season was 1958-59 when he helped lead the Black Hawks into the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in five years. After a slow start, with Chicago floundering in the NHL cellar, the Black Hawks put Ed Litzenberger at right wing, Tod Sloan at center and Lindsay at left wing on one line. At the time Litz had 2 goals and 2 assists, Sloan 3 goals and 1 assist, and Lindsay no goals and 2 assists.In their first game, Nov. 14, 1958, Litzenberger and Sloan each scored a goal and had an assist and Lindsay picked up one assist.From there on the &ldquo;Pappy Line&rdquo; became the hottest in the league, leading Chicago into a third place finish. Litzenberger finished with 33 goals, Sloan with `27 and Lindsay with 22 goals and 36 assists. His 184 minutes in the penalty box led the league and were the high mark of his career.When Lindsay totaled only 7 goals and 19 assists for 26 points last season and played a good part of the time on Chicago&rsquo;s checking line, he decided it was time to retire.Ted and his family will live in Detroit where Lindsay is in business as a manufacturers&rsquo; representative in the automotive parts industry with ex-Detroit teammate Marty Pavelich as his partner. &#9632;

Who else?During the Stanley Cup semi-final series last spring between the Chicago Black Hawks and the Canadiens, Lindsay denied that he had any intention of retiring. But something has happened in the meantime to make him change his plans. It may be that he was asked to take a salary cut, though it could also be that he feels he`s had enough of the grind.It took the Black Hawks a long time to get started last season and Coach Rudy Pilous and Manager Tommy Ivan were worfied.&ldquo;The kids are doing all right,&rdquo; said Pilous, &ldquo;but. the Pappy Line isn&rsquo;t doing anything. They&rsquo;re not even skating.&rdquo;The Pappy Line had Tod Sloan at centre between Lindsay and Eddie Litzenberger. Along about February when the Hawks were moving at a brisk clip, we had occasion to check with the Chicago coach again. How was Lindsay going?&ldquo;He&rsquo;s not scoring,&rdquo; said Rudy, &ldquo;but he&rsquo;s skating well and checking. He&rsquo;s helping us now.&rdquo;He may have been skating well, but he wasn&rsquo;t flying like the young man who broke into the league in the 1944-45 season, which is a long way back in a hockey player&rsquo;s life. And he was going only in spots, as invariably happens when the legs lose some of their spring. The young guys sail and the old guys have to push themselves to keep up, which makes hockey a labor. The Rocket said something similar last spring.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0571/1742819-1-eng-US/f0003-052.jpg" title="f0003-05" width="556" height="587"><figcaption class="caption-body">&rsquo;ROCKET&rsquo; RICHARD&hellip; Will He Be Next?</figcaption></div>&ldquo;Some of the young players can skate all night,&rdquo; he remarked. &ldquo;I just can&rsquo;t do it any more.&rdquo;<h2>Both Lucky And Good</h2>Lindsay himself was surprised that his career lasted as long as it did.&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t expect to play more than a couple of seasons in the NHL,&rdquo; he admitted several years ago. &ldquo;Then I thought I&rsquo;d be back home living with my memories.&rdquo;It was Lefty Gomez who said &ldquo;I&rsquo;d rather be lucky than good.&rdquo; Terrible Ted was good, but he was also lucky. He came up to the Detroit club when Jack Adams was putting together a team that was to dominate the league for almost a decade. Jack teamed him with Sid Abel, an experienced centre, and Gordie Howe, who was to become one of the great players of all time. The line clicked right from the start and scored so many goals that it became known as the &ldquo;Production Line.&rdquo;Lindsay wasn&rsquo;t big as hockey players go, but he was aggressive and was tagged as something of a hatchet man. Someone must have told him early in his career that he was as big as anybody on the ice as long as he didn&rsquo;t drop his stick. He was involved in a number of imbroglios where he did an awesome job of carving up his opponents.We saw him get one good licking. That was in a Stanley Cup game in Detroit when the Rocket caught him without his stick and flattened him with one punch, much to the delight of the late Dick Irvin, who was coaching the Canadiens at the time.&ldquo;That one punch won the Stanley Cup,&rdquo; Dick exulted. &ldquo;It took the steam out of the Red Wings.&rdquo;Off the ice, we always found him extremely co-operative, ready to discuss what was going on around the league. But Jack Adams seemed to feel that he was something of a popoff. Lindsay was holidaying up in North Bay one summer when it was announced that Glen Skov had been traded to Chicago.&ldquo;There goes our chance to beat the Canadiens,&rdquo; he remarked. &ldquo;He was the only fellow we had who could check Jean Beliveau.&rdquo;The remark made news and it didn&rsquo;t do him any good in the Red Wings&rsquo; front office. A real chill developed between him and Jack Adams, and for a long time they didn&rsquo;t speak to each other. When Jack wanted Ted to get the message he&rsquo;d tell something to one of the Detroit hockey writers and the player could read it in the paper. When Ted became active in organizing the players into a union and became its president he was finished in Detroit.&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve devoted my life to building up hockey in Detroit,&rdquo; Jack said angrily. &ldquo;Now he&rsquo;s trying to undo everything I&rsquo;ve done.&rdquo;For years Lindsay was the perennial choice for the left wing berth of the All-Star team and he earned it as a top two-way player. Toe Blake, who had been a great left wing in his time, paid tribute to him publicly.&ldquo;He&rsquo;s the greatest left wing in modern hockey,&rdquo; said Toe. &ldquo;All you have to do is look in the book. His record proves it.&rdquo; &#9632;

Ageing Netminder Still Pondering Future In Game

BUFFALO, N.Y.&mdash;The American Hockey League Bisons will switch their pre-season training camp to Welland, Ont., this year.General Manager Fred Hunt and Manager Frank Eddolls worked out details with Welland officials under which the Bisons will hold practice sessions in the Arena. Initial practice is scheduled for Sept. 15.In recent seasons, the Bisons have conducted pre-season drills in St. Catharines, Ont. &#9632;

Buffalo Bisons Switching Training Camp To Welland

MONTREAL, P.Q.&mdash;Bill Chadwick, who spent 16 years dodging pucks as a referee in the National Hockey League, will quickly tell you that officiating in the ice sport is easily the most hazardous.Referees in other sports, like football, lacrosse and basketball do more running, but they don&rsquo;t have to be quite as agile as a hockey referee, &ldquo;who literally must skate for his life,&rdquo; says Chadwick.Chadwick retired years ago for the more peaceful role as manager of a golf club in suburban New York.There were many seasons when Chadwick came off the ice without a scratch after working close to 100 games, but his ankles and legs have averaged better than three stitches a year.&ldquo;I&rsquo;d sav I&rsquo;ve had 50 stitches taken,&rdquo; says Chad wick, &ldquo;as a result of being cut by skates. There&rsquo;s no doubt about hockey being the toughest sport to referee.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-06162/1742964-1-eng-US/f0004-062.jpg" title="f0004-06" width="287" height="445"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bill Chadwick&hellip; Paid With Stitches</figcaption></div>&ldquo;The size of the rink and the fact that it is enclosed makes it tough. At first it wasn&rsquo;t so tough. A referee could clinmb on the three-foot dashboard to get out of the way. But now they&rsquo;ve got to climb on wire above the boards or cling to the top of the plexi-glass on the sides of the rink.&rdquo;What helped Chadwick more than anything was the fact that he played amateur hockey and always did a lot of skating.Ed Powers of Vancouver, B.C., who has bgen working NHL games four seasons, is a former box lacrosse referee. &ldquo;But there&rsquo;s no comparison,&rdquo; says Powers. &ldquo;Sometimes the glass is in the way and a referee gets hit more by players and pucks. I&rsquo;ve been lucky this year but I had six stitches taken in Boston last season.&rdquo;&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no doubt about hockey being the toughest sport to referee,&rdquo; says Carl Voss, former player with Detroit and other pro clubs who is referee-in-chief of the NHL, American Hockey League and the Eastern Professional Hockey League.&ldquo;They&rsquo;ve got to be in position around the nets because of the many goals that result from deflections and scrambles. That can get mighty dangerous at times.&ldquo;It takes three years to develop a referee and that&rsquo;s why you don&rsquo;t see big league stars becoming referees. They finish playing around 35, and at 38 the pace of a referee would be too strenuous.&rdquo;Voss also points out that hockey is the only sport where a referee draws a pension. &ldquo;The pension plan begins at age 45 even if the official serves only one year,&rdquo; says Voss.A hockey referee skates about 60 minutes a game yet a top official gets between $10,000 and $12,000 a year.&ldquo;They are worth it,&rdquo; insists Voss, &ldquo;because they must be on their guard at all times.&rdquo;Voss estimates his officials worked some 750 games last season for which he appointed every man.That in itself is a record. &#9632;

PASSING THE PUCK

<div class="byline">By Dink Carroll Montreal Gazette</div><h2>The Late Frank Patrick</h2>The late Frank Patrick was one of the most inventive minds in the history of hockey. He is generally credited with zoning the ice, introducing the forward pass, making kicking the puck legal and suggesting delayed penalties.In these, as in other innovations, he collaborated with his older brother, Lester, who predeceased him by approximately one month. They also introduced the playoff system and the assist in point-scoring, both of which were severely criticized at first but proved to be here to stay.Some of Frank&rsquo;s ideas were derived from soccer, which he always readily admitted. He and Lester borrowed the penalty shot from soccer, but you never see it called today, though it&rsquo;s still in the rules. Some years ago we took a visiting sports columnist from London, Eng., to the Forum to see his first NHL game.&ldquo;The pass patterns are like soccer,&rdquo; he said after a few minutes. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s like soccer on skates.&rdquo;There is a story that Frank and Lester went to a baseball game one day, and were a bit baffled because they couldn&rsquo;t identify the players. Their names were on the scoreboard, but there was no way of telling who was who. They thought that many hockey fans must have the same difficulty, and they came up with the idea of numbering the players. Other major sports soon adopted the system.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01341/1742995-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="724" height="1177"><figcaption class="caption-body">FRANK PATRICK</figcaption></div>The last time we saw Frank was a day when Branch Rickey was the guest speaker at a service club luncheon in the Sheraton Mt. Royal. Frank had worked out a system of zoning the fences in baseball so that fans would know how far a hall had been hit. He took the idea to Mr. Rickey, but apparently the latter didn&rsquo;t go for it.Tommy Gorman used to tell the story of how Frank outsmarted himself back in 1923 when he owned both the hockey club and the rink in Vancouver. Tommy, who was then managing the Ottawa Senators, took his team to Vancouver to play for the Stanley Cup.The Senators stopped off at Calgary to play an exhibition game against the Calgary team. Tommy wanted to use the game as a tune-up after the long train ride and told the players to take it easy and not run the risk of injuries. The Senators lost the game by a 5-0 score.Some Calgary fans sent the word on to Frank that the Senators weren&rsquo;t much of a hockey team. Frank immediately began to worry about the series being wound up in three games, which wouldn&rsquo;t make it worth while financially. When the Senators arrived in Vancouver, Frank immediately went to Tommy with the suggestion that the winner of the series play the Edmonton team, which had finished second to Vancouver in the west, for the Stanley Cup, and that the Vancouver-Ottawa games be called a semi-final series.Tommy, who was sure the Senators were the best team in the country, agreed to the unorthodox proposal.The Senators took Vancouver in three-out-of-four, and then beat Edmonton in two straight. With Frank&rsquo;s unwitting help, they won the Stanley Cup and most of the money.<h2>Hockey Was Also Fun</h2>Frank once wrote a whisical piece after a visit to Saskatoon in the early 1920s. There he met a French-Canadian fan, a great admirer of Newsy Lalonde, who was then playing for Saskatoon. The fan told him about a game between Edmonton and Saskatoon, which went into overtime. An Edmonton player had the first shot on goal in the overtime and everybody except Newsy thought he&rsquo;d scored. Newsy grabbed the puck and took off for the Edmonton goal. Wrote Frank, quoting the fan:&ldquo;W&rsquo;en he&rsquo;s near de Hedmontons* goal he&rsquo;s look roun&rsquo; for to see if de ref&rsquo;ree is look&rsquo; &mdash; dat&rsquo;s de boss of de game. Den, w&rsquo;en he know de boss knows de game is steel on, Newsee mak&rsquo; de queeck sheeft and tak good care de puck she&rsquo;s shot in de Hedmonton net. An&rsquo; de goal hompire she&rsquo;s put up hees han&rsquo;. You should see de hexcite. Kenny MacKenzie, de gangboss of de Hedmontons, she&rsquo;s jump on de hice. An&rsquo; Keed Scaler, dere trainer, wot use to be champeen of la boxe, she&rsquo;s jump on de hice also.&ldquo;Doze two Hedmontons dey start for mak&rsquo; de loud talk, but Newsee Lalon&rsquo;, he&rsquo;s don&rsquo; say somet&rsquo;ing at all.

De ref&rsquo;ree he say dat Saskatoon she&rsquo;s win de partee, so Newsee Lalon&rsquo; he&rsquo;s don&rsquo; wait for no more. He say, &lsquo;We call eet a day.&rsquo; I tole you &mdash; keep your heye on dat Newsee Lalon.&rdquo;You know from the above that hockey was fun as well as business for the late Frank Patrick. &#9632;

VANCOUVER, B.C.&mdash;Frank and Lester Patrick, two of hockey&rsquo;s all-time greats, were as close in death as they were in the game they so diligently strived to improve.Lester, the renowned Silver Fox, died June 1 at the age of 76 of cancer. Frank, his younger and lesser known brother, passed away here 28 days later from a heart ailment that had confined him to hospitals for the better part of the last 10 years. He was 74.Both brothers were appropriately buried side by side in the family plot at Victoria.Frank Patrick was a hockey player, coach, manager and executive for more than 50 years. He was a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame like his famed brother Lester.He was often known as the brains of modern hockey because he introduced such sweeping changes as the blue line and forward pass the post-season playoff, and legal kicking the puck.In 1919 both Frank and Lester were persuaded to turn professional with the Renfrew, Ont., Millionaires at the then incredible salaries of $3,000 for a 10-game season.Returning to Nelson, B.C., where their father, Joseph, had lumbering interests, they persuaded him to sell out for $1,000,000 and join them in starting a new major hockey league. They built several artificial ice rinks and operated the Pacific Coast League from 1911 to 1926.In 1915 Frank&rsquo;s Vancouver Millionaires, with such players as Cy clone Taylor, Frank Nighbor, Mickey McKay and Hughie Lehman, won the Stanley Cup, defeating the Ottawa Senators in three straight games.When the National League expanded into the United States in the 1920s, Frank, realzing his league could not compete in a player war, engineered a deal to sell a group of star players to the NHL for $250,000. This was after the 1925-26 Western Canada League season.In 1933 Frank became managing director of the NHL under president Frank Calder for one year. Then he coached the Boston Bruins for two seasons. He retired from hockey in 1941.Born in Ottawa Dec. 21, 1885, Frank Patrick grew up in Montreal. As an amateur he played for Montreal Victorias and for three years at McGill University he also starred in football and track.Frank Patrick had been ailing for some time and out of circulation. He was often philosophical about life and he maintained his feelings even at death.He said he had thought many times of death during his confinement with a sick heart, but it hadn&rsquo;t distressed him.&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no point worrying about something we can&rsquo;t help&rsquo;., he was reported to have said shortly before the end.The entire hockey world mourns the tragic passing of two great hockey pioneers &mdash; Lester and Frank Patrick &mdash; they will never be forgotten. &#9632;

Hockey World Mourns Loss As Death Takes Frank Patrick Month After Brother Lester

Following are a few of the tributes to the late Frank Patrick;Newsy Lalonde: &ldquo;His death came as a serious personal blow to both me and my family. Our families were close for many years. Frank was the outstanding hockey man in Canada as far as rules developement was concerned.&rdquo;Frank Selke Sr: &ldquo;Frank Patrick did much to raise the status of hockey and he was a great guy.&rdquo;Fred (Cyclone) Taylor: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve lost a lifelong friend. Canada has lost a great athlete and a great citizen. Frank compared favorably with any defenceman of the past or present.&rdquo;.Clarence Campbell: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s an awful blow to have two members of one of hockey&rsquo;s premier families depart the scene&hellip; Frank&rsquo;s contribution to hockey was immense. He was a great organizer.&rdquo;Frank Frederickson: &ldquo;It is hard to think what to say. Sometimes I think silence is more eloquent than words. I have fond recollections of Frank as a more dynamic, outspoken type of leader. He and his brother, Lester, defied nature and progress by their innovations. Their deaths add to the dejection, the almost tragedy &hellip;&rdquo; &#9632;

Frank Patrick Tributes

NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;Bob Giovati&rsquo;s not the guy you want on your side in a Pier Six brawl.He&rsquo;s small and skinny and talks in a pitched voice that wouldn&rsquo;t frighten a mouse.In a few months Bob Giovati will be a one-man police force who will have to settle a dozen Pier Sixers before 1960 is up.The kid off the sidewalks of Brooklyn has been named a referee in the Western Hockey. League of Canada.It&rsquo;s a tough league. A lot of old pros who won&rsquo;t take gaff from anybody and plenty of wise-off rookies trying to prove to the world they belong in the National League.They&rsquo;re an ornery bunch who sometimes don&rsquo;t think twice about swinging a stick or barking at an official.Mortals with Bob Giovati&rsquo;s physique have no more business in company like that than you and I have in a school of sharks. Except that ever since he was knee-high to an ice skate, Bob was showing up the big guy.It took gumption and. talent and he had plenty of both.<h2>Started With Pee Wees</h2>He learned how to skate in 1950 when the New York Rangers sponsored a peewee hockey league at Madison Square Garden. He worked hard at it, became an ace. He graduated to the old Brooklyn Ice Palace League and then, when there were no other leagues he went to Canada to find a place to play.More than 1,500 miles from Ridgewood, in Saskatoon, Sask., Bob found a junior team that would play him, got a job on Max Bentley&rsquo;s wheat farm on the side.He lasted two years or as far as his size would take him and then the word: &ldquo;Kid, you&rsquo;re too small for pro hockey.&rdquo;&ldquo;Nobody said I was too small for refereeing,&rdquo; Bob said, and in 1957 was tooting a whistle in the Eastern League.He was on his way up when Uncle Sam invited him to vacation from the ice wars. While on leave in the northwest last year, he was invited to referee a few Western League games. He tolerated no impudence and earned respect.Bob was recently mustered out of the Army. Then he received a letter from Al Leader, president of the Western League, inviting him to referee there in 1960-61. It&rsquo;s the next step to the majors.Only one New Yorker ever succeeded as a pro hockey referee. That was Bill Chadwick of Westbury. He was big, strong and tough.Bob Giovati doesn&rsquo;t own such natural equipment. But he&rsquo;s very big on heart and if he can, like he says he will, keep those Pier Sixers from starting he&rsquo;ll be in the National League in a couple of years.Stan FISCHLER &#9632;

It will be followed by away games on the 8th and 9th and a return home on the 11th.When members of the New York management stopped doing cartwheels over this gala news, they revealed that the elimination of the rodeo from the Madison Square Garden schedule has allowed for the schedule change.For decades, the Rangers bitterly resented the fact that they were forced to open the season on the road. Often, the club played four or more consecutive road games before the Gotham opener.And, not infrequently the Blues came home with a few straight losses.This is not incomprehensible because the Rangers generally opened the home season for Chicago and Detroit and caught the other clubs when they had that early-season apetite for home victory. Also, the Rangers didn&rsquo;t exactly have the best road club in the nation, or the best club for that matter.Triumph in the fight for fair scheduling &mdash; mind you, it never was the league&rsquo;s fault, just a matter of the Garden not having early dates for hockey &mdash; compliments the announcement two years ago that the Blues will be able to play all home Stanley Cup games in New York. Although no recent announcement was made on this matter, it is expected that the matter, it is expected that the Rangers will have this same opportunity in 1961.An Eight ave. wag pointed out that there&rsquo;s only one thing wrong with the Rangers opening at home &mdash; they won&rsquo;t have any excuses for losing their first three straight.Then again loss talk is heresy at this time of year and, as Muzz Patrick says, the new schedule is &ldquo;a good break&rdquo;. So citizens of Rangerville should take goodness where they can get it and be thankfull for little blessing such as the Oct. 5th opener.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-05121/1743167-1-eng-US/f0006-052.jpg" title="f0006-05" width="589" height="600"><figcaption class="caption-body">Gives ThanksMuzz Patrick</figcaption></div>RANGERABILIA &mdash; Since their Three Rivers farm team folded, the Blues have been trying to move the Eastern Pro League franchise to Kitchener&hellip; However, Kitchener Arena people and Patrick didn&rsquo;t see eye-to-eye on a rental agreement&hellip; If a deal is not made, Muzz says he&rsquo;ll suspend the franchise for a year or until he finds a suitable city in which to locate &hellip; Rangers are considering a Monday, Oct. 3 exhibition date at Long Island Arena in Commack, a suburb of New York&hellip; Dean Prentice, Bill Gadsby, Gump Worsley.

Rangers Score Victory Even Before Opener Land First Home Start

<div class="byline">By JIM PROUDFOOT</div>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Tim Daly, Lainer of the Maple Leaf hockey club since its formation, has decided to retire at 76 after a lifetime in sports.His successor is expected to be Bob Haggert, his assistant the past five years. Just 25, Bobby would be the youngest traineT in the National Hockey League.Once a Canadian boxing champion, Tim first became a trainer in 1905, with the Tecumseh lacrosse team. At that time, he was one of the most youthful men in the training business. Last season, he was the oldest. In between, he established himself as one of the most colorful personalities in Canadian sports. Tales of Daly capers and quotations from his butchery of the English language filled columns in newspapers from coast to coast.<h2>Trained Baseball Tigers</h2>Daly left Tecumsehs in 1911 to join the Maple Leaf ball club where he stayed until 1946, except for two years of army service and two years when he was sick. He spent a season with Detroit Tigers in the American League and also trained John McGraw&rsquo;s New York Giants during the 1912 world series.As a hockey trainer, Tim started out in Kitchener in 1905, moved with the Kitchener club to Toronto, where it was known as the Tecumseh team. Later, it became the Arenas. When he returned home after the Great War, he signed on with St. Pats who became the Maple Leafs in 1927 after being purchased by Conn Smythe.Tim also worked for the Gardens publicity department as an afterdinner speaker and sold advertising for the hockey program. He has been retired on a lifetime Gardens pension.Haggert has not been hired yet but both he and general manager Punch Imlach said they expected to make a deal before training camp opens in two months. &#9632;

TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Toronto Maple Leafs&rsquo; new defense acquisition, Larry Hillman, should fit in well with the club&rsquo;s off-season softball squad.He recently pitched a perfect no-run, no-hit game for a New Liskeard, Ont, softball team in the Kirkland Lake district.Hillman, 23, acquired this year by Toronto from Boston Bruins in the NHL draft, struck out 10 batters as his team won 3-0.Hillman&rsquo;s home town is in Kirkland Lake, Ont. &#9632;

New Leaf Defense Player, Hillman Pitches No-Hitter

TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;The &lsquo;Grand Old Man&rsquo; of the Leafs, Johnny Bower, has finally won his just reward for his tremendous goalkeeping performances that have twice carried Toronto to the Stanley Cup final these past two years.Bower was voted the winner of the J. P. Bickell Memorial Trophy, an award rarely made but one held in high esteem by Toronto players.The trophy, exclusively for Leaf players, is awarded at the discretion of the directors of the Maple Leaf Gardens. It is not necessarily an annual award. For instance, there were no winners in 1957 or 1958, two years in which the Leafs failed to reach the playoffs.&ldquo;The directors felt that Bower was the player who best represented the Maple Leafs, both on and off the ice during the 1959-60 season,&rdquo; said Conn Smythe, Gardens&rsquo; president. &ldquo;Against Detroit in the playoffs he was simply superb.&rdquo;The Bickell Trophy, of 14-krat gold, is valued at $10,000. Bower will receive a miniature of the trophy, said to be worth $600, for his permanent possession.Bower, a professionnal goalkeeper for 15 years, has been with the Leafs for the past two season. Toronto purchased his contract from Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League after the 195758 season.In his first season with the Leafs, he shared the goaltending chores with Ed Chadwick. Last year he had the job all to his own for 66 league games and 10 more on the playoffs. His goal-againstaverage for the schedule was 2.73. Back in 1953-54 when he played a complete season for the New York Rangers, his average was 2.60. The Blues rewarded him by demoting him to the minor leagues.Bower returned to Cleveland and made his way back to the NHL with the Leafs. He was rated one of the greatest minor league goalkeepers of all time and holds just about every conceivable record for netminders in the AHL.Now nearing his 35th birthday, Bower expects to play another year although there were rumblings after last year&rsquo;s cup final against Montreal Canadiens, that he was hanging up his skates.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02330/1743284-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="509" height="1068"><figcaption class="caption-body">Gets His RewardJohnny Bower</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Leafs Honor Bower With Rare Award For Great Season

MONTREAL. Que.&mdash;The Montreal Canadiens have assured the Quebec Aces their recent agreement for a working affiliation with the Cleveland Barons, will in no way injure the Quebec team.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01396/1743339-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="287" height="454"><figcaption class="caption-body">Frank Martin</figcaption></div>Frank J. Selke, managing director of the five-time world hockey champions, issued the statement here after repeated reports had been publisled to the contrary.As the result of player trades and deals, the Canadiens have made no less than nine American League class players available to the Aces for the 1960-61 campaign.Selke said Senator Hartland Molson, Canadiens president, has given the management &ldquo;full authority to work out a useful and entirely satisfactory deal with Quebec which would give the Aces assurance of a first-class team year after year&rdquo; without robbing the Quebec club of the independence its fans demand.The Aces entered the AHL last season, and Selke said the Montreal club is willing to co-operate with the Quebec team and at the same time support the desire of the Aces to &ldquo;run their own show.&rdquo;He said some months ago Cleveland sold four players to the Aces on the understanding that Cleveland would get four players from Montreal &ldquo;after the Aces had been given what they required.&rdquo;During the summer draft meetings in June it had become evident that Canadiens would lose some of their best players. To protect the Aces, a deal had been made by which Chicago Black Hawks gave Canadiens an option to purchase players Lorne Ferguson, Bob Bailey and Danny Lewicki.&ldquo;This option was immediately transferred to Quebec, who purchased Bailey and Lewicki but passed up Ferguson.&ldquo;Next, Montreal promised Aces&rsquo; the contracts of Claude Labrosse and Guy Rousseau for a nominal figure and other considerations.&rdquo; But Toronto Maple Leafs drafted Rousseau for their Rochester AHL club.&ldquo;As Jacques Toupin claimed he needed a good defence player, Canadiens then arranged a deal for one year, making a proved rearguard, Frank Martin, available to the Aces. For this Canadiens have had to lend Chicago a young defenceman, plus a considerable cash settlement.&rdquo;&ldquo;Canadiens are determined to make the deal with Quebec Aces effective &hellip; Toupin recently asked for the services of Goalie Gerry McNeil, who is Considered by many the best goaler in minor league hockey. When this request was relayed to Senator Molson permission was immediately granted.&ldquo;Toupin and McNeil have been notified. This permission to negotiate with McNeil has been given to Quebec by Canadiens absolutely free of obligation or payment of any kind.&rdquo;Selke listed the players Canadiens had made available to Aces through trades and deals:Four from Cleveland; two from Chicago &mdash; Lewicki and Bailey; one from Buffalo through Chicago &mdash; Martin; one from Rochester through Canadiens &mdash; Labrosse; one from Montreal Royals through Canadiens &mdash; McNeil. &#9632;

Hurst, who played only 43 games for the Bears last season, due to injury, scored 7 goals, and assisted on 7 others for 14 points.Hershey hockey fans will like the rough, tough attitude of Young, who asks no quarter and gives none. He has a tremendous desire to win, and spent 170 minutes in the penalty box with the Americans last season. It will be up to Coach Frank Mathers to try and divert some of Young&rsquo;s energy from incidents which lead to time in the penalty box.With Young and Larry Zeidel on the same team, opponents will think twice before starting much rough stuff with the Bears this season.Young played 68 games with the Rochester club last year, scoring seven goals with a like number of assists for 14 points. The previous year with Chicoutimi of the old Quebec League, he played 50 games, and scored 4 goals with 16 assists for 20 points. That year he spent 180 minutes in the penalty box. Young is 23 years of age, and has the ability to make the big time. He plays right defense and weighs 180 pounds.The Bears also have several other deals in the tentative stage in an effort to put some scoring punch in into the club. &#9632;

Bears Buy Howie Young In Bid To Bolster Club

<div class="byline">By JACK HORRIGAN</div>BUFFALO, N.Y.&mdash;What new faces will be in the lineup of the Buffalo Bisons this fall is probematical at this time.It is a certainty, however, that there will be a lot of them. The way has been cleared by a wholesale axing of veterans.Defenseman Frank Martin and forwards Bob Bailey, Danny Lewicki and Lorne Ferguson all are slated to play for the Quebec Aces. They were part of a multiplayer deal swung between Chicago, Buffalo&rsquo;s parent club, and the Montreal Canadiens.More trades and sales reportedly are in the offing as this issue of THE HOCKEY NEWS goes to press.One player lost in a Chicago trade who would have been welcomed back was right winger Howie Glover. He was traded by the Black Hawks to Toronto in return for defenseman Jim Morrison, who was subsequently lost to New York in the draft.Glover, after a slow start, came on to finish the season as Buffalo&rsquo;s second highest scorer with 31 goals, only two less than Larry Wilson tallied to pace the team.Lewicki and Ferguson, whom Coach Dit Clapper figured to &ldquo;give me 50-60 goals combined&rdquo;, vied for the dubious honor of being the top disappointment of the season.Neither displayed the ability that earned him National League paychecks for several years.Lewicki accounted for only 14 goals in 62 games while Ferguson had 13 in 70 encounters.Bailey&rsquo;s time in a Buffalo uniform was cut short as he was suspended for 10 games following a battle with Ted Harris of Springfield. Shortly after his return, he suffered a broken leg and was lost for the remainder of the year.Martin, one of the veterans on the Buffalo team in the point of service, was one of only six Bisons to play the full season.&ldquo;Silent Shane&rdquo;, as Martin is called in the dressing room, was far from the weakest link in the Herd&rsquo;s defensive unit. In fact, many a game he was Clapper&rsquo;s most dependable rearguard performer.The Bisons intention of going with youth on defense also makes the future of last year&rsquo;s captain, Gus Mortson, and the man who preceded him in that post, Ivan Irwin, doubtful.Neither has said, as of this writing, whether he is interested in continuing his long career. Mortson&rsquo;s fine play of the second half of last season indicated Gus still has the legs to carry him.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03258/1743408-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="580" height="589"><figcaption class="caption-body">Their Future UncertainIvan Irwin</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-04196/1743401-1-eng-US/f0008-042.jpg" title="f0008-04" width="588" height="581"><figcaption class="caption-body">Gus Mortson</figcaption></div>Irwin, lured out of retirement last year, never really was in the Bison lineup long enough to attain peak condition.

All were purchased from the now defunct New Westminster Royals during the summer of 1959 when that team suspended operations.And it&rsquo;s the manpower shortage that poses a big problem for Laycoe, who coached Victoria Cougars in the WHL last season while Portland awaited completion of its new 12,000-seat arena.Some help is expected from a National Hockey League team &mdash; likely the Boston Bruins &mdash; but just how much help is not known.The list of players owned by Buckaroos gives little apparent cause to worry.The players are goalie Reno Zanier, Fred Creighton, Pete Wright, Ron Matthews, Arlo Goodwin, Arnie Schmautz, Gordon Fashoway and Art Jones.With the exception of Zanier, the eight players are seasoned professionals. All except Zanier and Creighton have played under Laycoe for at least three years.On paper, the eight players form the nucleus of a strong club.But, a further look shows that Laycoe may be lucky to have even half of the eight players attending training camp in October.Zanier is a question mark. He has played only half a season of professional hockey, that with the Royals in 1958-59, last season he was with Fort Wayne of the International Amateur League.Creighton is a notorious fighter but has never been known as a top-flight defenceman.Matthews, one of WHL&rsquo;s better defenceman, says he plans to retire from hockey and remain at his job in New Westminster.Wright is also talking retirement from his Grande Prairie Alta., home where he wants to devote his full time to business.Goodwin, a forward, recently underwent operations on both shoulders at his hometown of Saskatoon. The doctor there has advised Laycoe that Goodwin will not be able to play until January, if then.Schmautz is still recovering from a fractured skull he received in a league game last season but a doctor will have the final word.So, Laycoe can count on just Fashoway, now 34, and Jones for the present time.And Hal says he&rsquo;s worrying.

Laycoe Already racing Problems With Portland

WINNIPEG, Man.&mdash;Bill Robinson, a home town hockey idol of the 1940&rsquo;s, has come back to assume the choaching duties of the Winnipeg Warriors of the Western Hockey League.Robinson, now 38 years old, succeeds Bill Mosienko at the helm of the Warriors. Mosienko, a former Warrior star and one-time member of Chicago&rsquo;s famed Pony Line, took over the coaching post last November when Alf Pike moved up to the New York Rangers to replace ailing Phil Watson.Mosienko resigned last month as coach because of business pressure and club president Jack Perrin promptly selected Robinson as his successor.Robinson has had an extensive hockey career.In 1940-41, he played centre on the Memorial Cup winning Winnipeg Rangers. After one season with New York Rovers amateur team, he played three years with Quebec Aces, winners of the Allan Cup in 1944. In 1945-46, Bill joined Seattle in the Western Amateur League and was later named to the Seattle Hall of Fame. He remained with Seattle until 1948.He was with Ottawa Senators when they won the Allan Cup in 1949, playing on a high-scoring line with Eddie Dartnell and Nels Tremblay. Dartnell won the scoring championship with 116 points in 60 games. Robinson had 114 points and Tremblay 112 &mdash; a record that has never been equalled and or probably never will be.Robinson played with Ottawa until 1953 when he returned to Winnipeg, playing for and coaching Winnipeg Maroons senior club until 1955. At 35, he turned professional for the first time with Seattle Americans of the WHL.If nothing else, Perrin has provided Robinson with probably the best player neucleus any starting coach could ever have.The list of potentials (27 of &lsquo;eha) goes like this:Goal &mdash; A possible selection of either Harry Lumley, Bruce Gamble, Al Rollins or Ernie Wakely.Defence &mdash; Don Ward, Ted Gren, Bob Donas, Lew Mueller and Ken Stephanson.Centres &mdash; Ray Brunel, Barrie Ross, Cliff Pennington, Marcel Rochon, Howie Hughes, Bob Leiter and Johnny Rodger.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-03311/1743501-1-eng-US/f0009-032.jpg" title="f0009-03" width="253" height="413"><figcaption class="caption-body">BILL ROBINSON &hellip;&hellip; New Chief in TeePee</figcaption></div>Rigre wingers &mdash; Lorne Davis, Gordie Redahl, Wayne Larkin, Laurie Langrell, Jerry Kruk and Tom Williams.Left wingers &mdash; Nick Mickoski Al Nicholson, Gerry Brisson, Al Baty and Don Bamhurak.Don&rsquo;t expect them all to turn up all Warriors September camp at the Arena. There are strings attached to many of them. But the possibilities are good.Perrin says he has talked with Rollins, who left the Tribe for a return of the National League with New York late last season. Al has stated he intends to play again this year and New York will get first chance at his services. If he doesn&rsquo;t stay in the big time there is a chance he would wind up back here.Defence has to be the big problem at hand for the Warriors.Ward, a robust 200-pounder who appeared here with Calgary in the 1958-59 campaign, and Green, the Warrior rookie drafted by Boston this spring, would be. assigned to Winnipeg if they don&rsquo;t make the grade with the Bruins.Other players to be assigned to Winnipeg by the Bruins will be Mickoski, Davis, Redahl and Nickolson, the latter two members of the club last year.Centre ice appears to be the Warriors&rsquo; strong point.Brunel and Ross have proven themselves in the past and could be joined by the much-publicized amateur star, Pennington, if he turns professional and doesn&rsquo;t stick with Montreal in NHL. Warriors still maintain minor league rights to him.All rookies destined to be at the fall camp had trial or at least training camp experience with the pros last season.Robinson likes the rookie rule in the Western Hockey League.This is good. &#9632;
