Leafs’ Twosome Blasting Holes In Record Book
TORONTO, Ont.— Frank Mahovlich and Red Kelly are the greatest one season Toronto Maple Leaf productive twosome of all time. No twosome, not even Charlie Conacher and Busher Jackson, has scored more goals and assists during one season than Frank and Red. In the February 11th home game against Boston, ‘Big M’ — the first distinctive NHL nickname since ‘The Rocket’ — broke the long monopoly of Montreal NHL scoring leaders when he picked up one goal (his 43rd) and four assists to zoom past Bernie Geoffrion in the scoring parade. Just as no other Leaf in history has scored more goals in one season than ‘Big M,’ no other Leaf in history has scored more assists in one season than Big Red. In the same Boston game, Kelly picked up four assists…

Player-of-the-Week
BUFFALO, N. Y. — BUFFALO, N. Y. — The Buffalo Bisons, long rated a ‘good home, no road club’ finally made it into second place this week, but only with the aid of some superb goaling by Rookie Dennis Dejordy. The Bisons won three last week and moved one point ahead of the Cleveland Barons in the race for the runner-up spot to the Springfield Indians. The Bisons beat Quebec twice 5-3 and 5-4 and then shutout the powerful Springfield Indians 4-0. The Bisons have an exceptionally good record since they made the switch that brought DeJordy to Buffalo and sent goaler Marv Edwards to Sault Ste. Marie of the Eastern Pro League. They have won nine of their last ten games and moved from four into second. DeJordy, who joined Buffalo on December 28,…
Bs Check Stock List, Put Trade Tags On The Lot
BOSTON, Mass.— What is a word misused frequently in discussions of National Hockey League personnel? A word so identified b y Lynn Patrick i s “untouchable”. In NHL parlance today an untouchable is a player unavailable for trade or sale. Hardly a week goes by but that the word appears in print in connection with one or more players. But as far as Patrick is concerned, the word is not an appropriate one to use in reference to the Bruins. The Bruins, says their manager, have no untouchables. “I want to make that clear right now,” said Patirck the other day before departing for a long scouting trip. “The Bruins have no untouchables. “We have players I’d trade in a second. We have other players for whom I would ask a great deal in return if I were…
