An Old Story With Harvey, Wins Norris For 6th Time
— MONTREAL Hockey fans may be wondering if Canadiens’ Doug Harvey has a patent on the Norris Trophy the way he wins it. The brilliant defenceman of the Montreal Canadiens was named the 1960-61 N r.is Trophy winner for the sixth time in the eight years it has been in competition. Only Tom Johnson, also a member of the Habs, in 1958-59 and Red Kelly, then of Detroit in 1953-54, have intruded on Harvey’s monopoly of the trophy. This trophy is presented each year to “the regular defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in that position. Besides winning tne tropny Harvey also collects $1,000 from the National Hockey League for his achievement. Harvey literally walked away with the award. He polled more than three times as many votes as…

Keon, one of the smallest performers to come into the NHL in some years, made the most of his tremendous breaking speed to beat out teammate Bob Nevin and Detroit’s Howie Glover for the rookie award. Keon polled 155 points out of a possible 180. Nevin polled 79 points, while the third-place Glover picked up 34 points. Voting was carried out by hockey writers and broadcasters from the six N.H.L. cities and points were awarded on…
Late’Tommy’Gorman Led Three Cup Teams
By DINK CARROLL Montreal Gazette T. P. (Tommy) Gorman, who died in Ottawa May 15th, was certainly one of the most colorful sports promoters ever produced in Canada. At one time or another he dabbled in almost everything: hockey, horse racing, baseball and lacrosse. He started as a page boy in the House of Commons and then went into the newspaper business. We recall that he once said he covered the Halifax explosion for an Ottawa paper during World War I, but it couldn’t have been long afterward that he became sports editor of the same paper. There were a lot of good athletes around Ottawa at that time, and he had plenty to write about. We asked Frank Boucher once what kind of a writer Tommy was. “My brother George could tell you…
