Haidy Grabs Reins At Milwaukee Helm
MILWAUKEE, Wisc.— Gordon Haidy, former American Hockey Leaguer and recently of the Windsor Bulldogs (OHA), was named to succeed Walt Pawlyshyn as coach of the Milwaukee Falcons. Pawlyshyn will remain with the squad as a player, however. Haidy is seeking added strength in goal and much-needed help at forward. Wayne Sproxton was recently picked up from Minneapolis, but the Falcons will have to do a lot better than that to become a contender. FT.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
TWENTY 20 GOAL SCORERS Twenty NHL Players scored 20 or more goals during the 1959-60 season. That figure Is three less than the number of 20 goal scorers the year before.

Sunshine Ahead For WIHL After Stormy Weather In Early Going
TRAIL, B.C.— The Western International Hockey League, which almost collapsed when Nelson Maple Leafs quit the circuit for three days, is now back in tip-top shape with a rosy future. Leafs announced they were quitting because of no fan support, little money and the inability to purchase accident insurance for the players. Civic-minded Nelson Mayor Tommy Shorthouse, realizing the demise of the Leafs would end senior hockey there after having iced a senior team for 50 years, rallied other businessmen and within four days a $2,500 fund raising drive was launched and the Queen City six is back in the WIHL.

Late in the third period in Madison Square Garden referee Frank Udvari dropped the puck in the face off circle to the left of Gump Worsley. New York’s Red Sullivan and Ullman splapped at the puck and it flew into the corner. Parker MacDonald retrieved it, quickly sped behind the net and around the other side and fired the puck in off Worsley’s skate. That made the score 3-3 and the Wings then won it on Pete Goegan’s shot, wiping out a 3-1 deficit. But when MacDonald’s goal was announced, it was “MacDonald, unassisted.” Udvari had skated by the table at rinkside and said “I think No. 7 was in one that.” Charles (Lamie) Crovat, the scorer,…
