Junior Phenom To Get Trial With Hub

BOSTON, Mass.— A 21-year-old defenseman has taken advantage of a golden opportunity to win a position with the Boston Bruins in his first season as a professional hockey player. The defenseman is Edwin “Ed” Westfall, essaying the difficult transition from junior competition to the National Hockey League. Starting the season with the Bruins as a rookie professional is Westfall’s good fortune. And he has gained the opportunity because of Ted Green’s bad fortune. Green, also a defenseman was conceded a place in the Bruins’ defense plans for this season because of his aggressiveness. He impressed the Bruins’ management with his rugged play at both Winnipeg of the Western League and Kingston of the Eastern League last season.

Maloney Finally Shows Up As Canucks’ Mr. Big

EDMONTON, Alta— It has been a long way “home”, but an old favorite of the Vancouver hockey public has finally shown up again as Mr. Big of the Canucks. He’s Philip Francis Maloney, who this time takes on the coaching chores in addition to performing his magic down the centre lane. Don’t talk about No. 13 to those coast fans. The 1958-59 season was just that many games old when Chicago Black Hawks announced that they were plucking Maloney out of the Vancouver Forum to give him a long-overdue second chance under the big top. Maloney had played a full season with Boston Bruins nine years earlier, amassing 46 points. 15 goals. Then he went to Toronto, and was subsequently farmed out to the minors. After kicking around between the American League and the Quebec…
