Windsor May Secure Berth In Eastern Pro Circuit
— WINDSOR, Ont. Windsor may be out of the Senior Ontario Hockey Association League but the City may go professional with the EPHL by having the Kitchener franchise moved here for next season. This was revealed at the recent North Bay hockey meetings of the Eastern Pro League and the reaction was believed favorable, although nothing definite was decided. The man behind the suggestion is Steve Menich, president of the Kitchener club, who indicated the decisive factor would be the attitude of the Kitchener Auditorium commission to a request by the finacially-embarrassed Beavers for a lower rink rental agreement. The fact the Kitchener team lost $91,000 in operations during last season may also influence Menich and the parent New York Rangers to come here. Last year the Beavers paid $800 a game and during the…

Winnipeg Warriors Out; ‘Frisco Operation Ready
WINNIPEG, Man. There will be no professional hockey in this city next season and according to those close to the Winnipeg scene, it could be permanent.

The club has faced financial problems in recent years resulting from high travel eosts and other factors. Jack Perrin, Winnipeg owner, asked the directors for a one-year suspension. The Winnipeg withdrawal left in doubt whether the circuit would be split into two divisions, as had been talked. The eight-team loop will…
