‘Sports Seen’ A Spectacular By The Turofskys
TORONTO, Ont.— “Anyone we haven’t photographed hasn’t arrived yet,” the late Nat Turofsky used to say. And indeed, the Sporting Greats and Near Greats flashed in action by the incomparable camera skill of Nat and Lou Turofsky reads like a book of Who’s Who. With the publication of SPORTS SEEN, a volume of their most spectacular photographs, The Ryerson Press heralds the past half century of sporting activity in Canada. Ted Reeve, lifelong friend and associate of the Turofsky brothers and popular sports columnist for the Toronto Telegram has written the foreword and commentary for this new volume. Known as Canada’s most successful and unusual photographic team, Nat and Lou Turofsky led a career packed full of action and excitement, and the demand for their skill took them on a variety of assignments…
Johnson Takes Honors As Canadiens’ Iron-Man
MONTREAL, Que — This past season hasn’t been what you’d call outstanding for ex-Norris Trophy winner, Tom Johnson. The solidly-constructed Canadien defenseman has gone along, somewhat overshadowed, as usual, by the more spectacular players. Perhaps the low spot of the season came for Tom, when he failed to garner a single point in the first half voting for the same Norris Trophy he’d won in dashing manner three seasons ago. In the mid-season balloting, he suffered the frustration, too, of being nosed out for the last defense position on the second All-Star team, by one-half of a point. Johnson managed 24.5 points in the voting. Leaf’s ageing, (35 yr. old) Allan Stanley, took it with 25. But in spite of an otherwise unhappy season, there’s one distinction the Gay Bachelor from Baldur, (Manitoba) can claim…
Player-of-the-Week
CLEVELAND, O. — Frederick Austin Glover returned to action last week and the Cleveland Barons returned to their winning ways. It’s hard to say whether Glover is responsible, but the fact remains that while he was out with an injury for three weeks the Barons lost eight games in a row. Last week the Barons won two and tied one and they continued to make the race for second place a tight one. Glover picked up one goal and added four assists for five points. On Wednesday, March 15 the Barons beat the champion Springfield Indianes 3-2. Glover scorea a goal ana assistea on anotner. his goal came at of the third period and gave the Barons the much needed win. On Saturday, March 18 the Barons defeated Buffalo 2-1. Glover played an…
Habs, Leafs Load NEWS Dream Squad
MONTREAL, Que. — Three players from the Montreal Canadiens, two from the Toronto Maple Leafs and one from the Detroit Red Wings were this week voted to the NHL All-Star team as chosen for THE HOCKEY NEWS by its thousands of readers from coast to coast. Veteran Defenseman Doug Harvey; Right Winger Boom Boom Geoffrion and Center Jean Beliveau easily won positions on the 14th annual All-Star club chosen by the Bible’s readers. Johnny Bower was the choice for goal and Frank Mahovlich of the Leafs was the left wing choice. Detroit’s Marcel Pronovost was the only member of a non-Canadian club on the team. The Detroit rearguard ran second to Harvey, but never threatened the Habs’ Captain for the first defense slot. Over twenty five thousand readers poured their ballots into THE HOCKEY NEWS…
