Rudy Not Ready To Concede Yet
CHICAGO, Ill.— Chicago Black Hawk coach Rudy Pilous is conceding nothing to anybody. Not to the first-place Toronto Maple Leafs and not to the defending champion Montreal Canadiens. The Black Hawks were in third place in the National Hockey League race following games of Feb. 7, 12 points back of Toronto and behind Montreal. The Hawks had 16 games left to play. “We’ve lost a lot of games we should have won,” said Pilous. “But except for that one bad stretch (between Thanksgiving and Christmas) we’ve hung in there. Just like Toronto. And now they’re in first place. “Until they tell me we don’t have enough points or enough games left to get the points we need, I concede nothing. We’re not just shooting for third place or a spot in the playoffs. We started…

May Make First Aid Part Of Job For OIIA Referees
TORONTO, Ont., The Ontario Hockey association’s junior “A” council has recommended all OHA referees be instructed to learn first aid. The motion was prompted by a suggestion first made in the Toronto Star, following an accident at Toronto’s Ted Reeve arena in which a junior player almost bled to death when his throat was gashed by a skate. While a doctor was present to apply first aid, the incident underlined the importance of having trained medical attendants at all hockey games. The council, governing body of the seven-team OHA junior “A” league, now will present its recommendation at the next meeting of the OHA executive. The motion was carried unanimously at the conference in the association’s Toronto headquarters. “This is an excellent idea The Star put forward,” said Harold Ballard, president of Toronto Malrboros.…
