AMERICAN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By RED FISHER</div><p>(In The Montreal Star)</p><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>What seems like a long time has passed since Maurice Richard left his hockey playing days behind him. but it was only one year ago last spring that he stood with a group of friends in the lobby of a downtown Toronto hotel.</p><p>It had been an exciting night for the &ldquo;Rocket.&rdquo; He scored a goal in a playoff game against the Maple Leafs. Furthermore he had created a small stir by retrieving the puck.</p><p>I walked up to him and caught his eye.</p><p>&ldquo;I suppose,&rdquo; he sighed, &ldquo;you want to know why I picked up the puck? I don&rsquo;t know.&rdquo; he said curtly, &ldquo;I just don&rsquo;t know. Does that answer your question?&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-01415/1828416-1-eng-US/f0012-012.jpg" title="f0012-01" width="494" height="802"></div><p>I had seen him in this mood before. At times, Richard, the athlete, could be warm and pleasant. Now, the strain of the game, the hounding of reporters and the lateness of the hour had made him snappish.</p><p>I shrugged and turned to walk away. He caught me by the elbow and twisted me around for a moment, then relaxed and winked broadly.</p><p>&ldquo;Just in case, Red,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;just in case&hellip;&rdquo;</p><p>That brief conversation was, in many ways, indicative of the &ldquo;Rocket&rdquo; as a hockey player. He was unpredictable, a man who soared on the peaks of warmth and satisfaction one moment and brooded in the valleys of depression the next moment. He was well into his thirties when this business brought me into close contact with the team and the man, and many times, I have regretted missing his greatest days.</p><p>What was he like when he electrified hockey people everywhere with his brilliant marksmanship?</p><p>What were the pressures which led up to his famous outbursts against opponents and constituted authority?</p><p>Many of these and other questions are answered in the absorbing study of the man (&ldquo;Rocket&rdquo; Richard, Ryerson Press, $3.25) written by Andy O&rsquo;Brien, sports editor of The Montreal Star Weekend Magazine, professional hockey, outlines in depth the high and low points of Richard&rsquo;s fabulous years in the National Hockey League.</p><h2><b>O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s &ldquo;Big Fix&rdquo;</b></h2><p>Author O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s entertaining story-telling starts even before he settles down to the first chapter.</p><p>He tells about a meeting in a blacked-out London pub with Major J. Alex Edmison, K.C. The time was autumn, 1943.</p><p>&ldquo;I am ashamed of you, Andy,&rdquo; said Edmison. O&rsquo;Brien asked what he&rsquo;d said.</p><p>Major Edmison asked if it were true that O&rsquo;Brien had been a stick-boy with the Montreal Maroons when Howie Morenz was at his peak with Canadiens. O&rsquo;Brien nodded.</p><p>&ldquo;Yet, you dared write that a ridiculously raw rookie named Maurice Richard, who has played only 16 National Hockey League games with Canadiens will become the greatest of them all.&rdquo;</p><p>O&rsquo;Brien nodded again.</p><p>A year later, Major Edmison returned from overseas, called O&rsquo;Brien and was promptly invited to attend a hockey game at the Forum.</p><p>O&rsquo;Brien writes: &ldquo;He (Richard) scored five goals and assisted on three others&mdash;all at our end of the rink within 20 feet or so of our seats.&rdquo;</p><p>After the game, Major Edmison stood up briskly: &ldquo;This,&rdquo; he said&hellip;&ldquo;has been the&hellip;most unbelievable, most terrific exhibition of one man playing one game of hockey the world has ever seen. But one thing bothers me?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;What bothers you?&rdquo; asked Andy.</p><p>Major Edmison looked him coldly in the eye: &ldquo;Just how&hellip;did you arrange it?&rdquo;</p><h2><b>He Gave And Took Punishment</b></h2><p>O&rsquo;Brien devotes many paragraphs to Richard&rsquo;s knockout decisions over old-time foes like Bob Dill and Bill Judza, his rumbles with referees and linesmen and with league president Clarence Campbell. He points out, too&mdash;and properly so&mdash;that Richard took, as well as gave punishment.</p><p>There was that historic goal in a playoff series against the Boston Bruins in 1952. Richard was knocked out after a collision with Leo Labine and Bill Quackenbush during the second period, and by the time he came around, only four minutes were left in this, the seventh and deciding game of the semi-final round. The score was 1-1.</p><p>Richard asked to be put on the ice. Then he picked up a pass beside his own net, went through the entire Boston team and with his last ounce of strength, scored the winning goal. Later, in the dressing room, Richard broke into a wild sobbing convulsion. It was two hours before he was able to leave the rink.</p><p>O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s book presents a big league portrait of the most flamboyant, unpredictable and controversial big leaguer hockey has ever seen. It&rsquo;s a book every Richard fan&mdash;or critic&mdash;will want to read.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Chicago Brass Stung By Early Play

<div class="byline">By HARRY MOLTER</div><p>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;</p><p>Did the Stanley Cup chainpion Chicago Black Hawks forget how to pull the trigger on their shots during the summer?</p><p>From their showing in the first seven games of the young National Hockey League season this appeared to be the case.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/cover-02177/1829278-1-eng-US/cover-022.jpg" title="Cover-02" width="285" height="432"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Bill Hay</b></figcaption></div><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not firing the puck enough and we&rsquo;re making that one extra pass around the nets instead of firing,&rdquo; said Coach Rudy Pilous.</p><p>In their first seven games the Black Hawks tasted victory only once, this over hapless Boston, while tying three and losing three. This gave them only five of a possible 12 points.</p><p>That&rsquo;s no way for a Stanley Cup champion to act&mdash;especially after they&rsquo;ve been picked to finish one-two in the NHL regular season race. It&rsquo;s also a much slower breakaway than last season when they won four, tied one and lost one in their first six games for nine points and first place.</p><p>If Chicago is to get on the winning track they must do it on the road. Between Oct. 25 in New York and Nov. 15 when they play at home, the Black Hawks have seven of their nine games on the road.</p><p>Thus they must prove early in the season that they are capable of being a better road club than they were last season when their record was only 9 victories, 18 losses and 8 ties.</p><p>One of the Chicago&rsquo;s major aims this season is to improve its road showing in order to step up from their third place finish of the last three seasons. But they will also have to maintain their home ice pace of last year, when they won 20, lost 6 and tied 9. Already they have lost two home games, to New York and Montreal.</p><p>The New York loss, 4-2, was fashioned on a lot of hustle by the Rangers, some spectacular goal-tending by Gump Worsley and a few careless Black Hawk defensive mistakes.</p><p>They were just outclassed in the 7-1 defeat at Montreal.</p><p>&ldquo;Our team has to recognize its going to get 70 good hockey games against it this year. When you are the Stanley Cup champions it gives the other team a morale boost to beat you so, naturally, they get up a little extra against you,&rdquo; said Coach Pilous. &ldquo;Our players have made too many careless mistakes this year. We haven&rsquo;t been an alert team in all our games. Even in our one victory over Boston we were ragged.&rdquo;</p><p>One bright spot in the Black Hawk picture was the openinggame uphill tie at Detroit, when Chicago came from a 0-3 deficit; and the 1-1 tie in Toronto. It was probably the best game the Black Hawks have played in Toronto in the past year and gives encouragement to the Chicago fans who waited in vain all last year for their heroes to get even one victory in Maple Leaf Gardens.</p><p>One spark to Black Hawk road efforts this year is the televising of 13 road games&mdash;the first time Chicago has telecast any away games. Both the Detroit and Toronto games were televised here and perhaps served as incentive to the players to put out 100 per cent effort.</p><p>It is true the Black Hawks have been without center Red Hay since the third game of the season and now have lost captain Pete Pilote for three to five weeks. But Montreal has been without Jean Beliveau and Dickie Moore. Thus if the Black Hawks are to beat Canadiens out of first place this year they can have no complaints about injuries.</p><p>The Black Hawks have built up some good depth on their farm teams and now is their chance to show it. They have no rookies on this year&rsquo;s team. General Manager Tommy Ivan has not replaced Hay on the squad but did call up Wayne Hillman from Buffalo when Pilote was injured on Oct. 22.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Too Careless, Not Shooting, Main Reasons

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>Phil Watson and Lou Fontinato, two of New York&rsquo;s most extroverted performers, returned to Broadway in different costumes this year and were greeted with mixed reviews.</p><p>Bounced from the Gotham for his loquaciousness, Watson made his Madison Square Garden debut as Boston coach on Oct. 12. He does an encore Wednesday, Nov. 8 and the way his Bruins have comported themselves Ranger fans can&rsquo;t wait.</p><p>As for Watson, his club may have lost its first hockey game of the season in New York but Phil again won the hearts of local newsmen. Judging by Phil&rsquo;s demeanor in the press room one would have thought the Bruins had won the Stanley Cup.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve got no other resort than to keep my mouth shut,&rdquo; said Phil bodychecking syntax right out of the conversation. &ldquo;What can I do, whip the poor kids on my team?&rdquo;</p><p>It was like old times. A ring of reporters was two deep around Watson, who looked tanned, healthy and remarkably happy. His charming wife, Rosemarie, sat smiling in the background as he took the spotlight.</p><p>&ldquo;How did it feel sitting on the other side of the rink?&rdquo; Watson was asked.</p><p>&ldquo;I felt like an enemy,&rdquo; he said with a roguish grin. &ldquo;And I am.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;ve got no worries,&rdquo; another said, &ldquo;with that three year contract.&rdquo;</p><p>Watson took a drag on his cigarette. &ldquo;You know yourself that things change very easily in a hockey season.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;What do you think of the Rangers?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;That Harvey makes a difference. I&rsquo;m very happy that the Rangers got a good man. It&rsquo;s good for the League.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Yeah,&rdquo; said another, &ldquo;but it&rsquo;s not good for your team.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry about my team. When Beliveau and Bathgate came into this League they were no better than Pat Stapleton or Cliff Pennington is now.&rdquo; Then, with a typical Watson flourish:</p><p>&ldquo;Someday I&rsquo;ll come in here and you&rsquo;ll say, &lsquo;Phil, your boys played a real good game&rsquo;.&rdquo;</p><p>If Watson was somewhat on the defensive, Fontinato was quite the confident one. He personally led the Canadiens to a thumping victory over the Rangers and angrily checked&mdash;often legally&mdash;every Ranger in sight. In most cases, except when he collided with Harry Howell, Louie was the one who remained vertical.</p><p>The fans were tame, almost sympathetic in their taunting of Watson but Louie got the old razzoo as soon as he hit a Ranger. And especially after he boarded skinny Camille Henry two seconds after the whistle had blown.</p><p>Asked how he felt about the hooting, Fonty said later, &ldquo;I said to myself, &lsquo;Louie, have they forgotten so fast?&rsquo; &ldquo;</p><p>There were so many reporters around Fontinato one scribe wondered whether he was Roger Maris. For sure, Louie felt like him.</p><p>&ldquo;I have no grudge against the Rangers,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re all a nice bunch of guys but I can&rsquo;t stand them on the ice.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Didn&rsquo;t you feel funny being booed in New York?&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Nah,&rdquo; said Louie, &ldquo;it meant I was earning my pay check. Let them boo me in New York as long as they cheer me in Montreal.&rdquo;</p><p>Had coach Toe Blake said he was pleased with Fontinato and Don Marshall admitted Louie &ldquo;had put a lot of life&rdquo; into the Canadiens.</p><p>&ldquo;I like the Montreal uniform,&rdquo; Louie said. &ldquo;The Canadiens are a pretty high class outfit.&rdquo;</p><p>Somebody mentioned to Louie that last Summer Phil Watson tried to get the Canadiens to trade him to Boston.</p><p>Fontinato appeared shocked at the thought.</p><p>&ldquo;You mean to say Watson tried to get me,&rdquo; Louie shouted. &ldquo;Well, wait&rsquo;ll I get hold of that sonofagun. No Christmas card for Watson this year.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Make Debuts</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01352/1827061-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="566" height="728"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Phil Watson</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02335/1827054-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="577" height="589"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Lou Fontinato</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Boston’s All-Stars Seen In Rink’s Hall Of Fame

<div class="byline">By JACK BERRY</div><p>DETROIT, Mich.</p><p>The Red Wings can&rsquo;t be accused of taking the easy way out.</p><p>After losing their opener to Toronto, the Wings went unbeaten through their next five games matching the longest undefeated string posted by the club in 1960-61.</p><p>But it wasn&rsquo;t easy&hellip;even a 7-3 victory over Boston had its anxious moments.</p><p>The Wings started the streak by running up a 3-0 first period lead over Chicago and had to settle for a 3-3 tie.</p><p>The next night they fell behind the Black Hawks, 2-0, when two power plays backfired. But the Wings came back and gained a 2-2 tie in that one.</p><p>Then it was Boston, winless in five games. Bill Gadsby scored his first Red Wing goal in the first period and that was all the scoring in the 20 minutes.</p><p>Coach Sid Abel, displeased with the first period play, read out the club in the dressing room.</p><p>&ldquo;The only one I singled out as having done a good job was Vic Stasiuk,&rdquo; Abel said.</p><p>It was Stasiuk&rsquo;s night. He had assisted on Gadsby&rsquo;s goal and then assisted on a second period marker before winding up in a blazing finish with the three goal hat trick in the third period.</p><p>That was Detroit&rsquo;s first victory of the season.</p><p>Next were the first place New York Rangers, pepped up by a victory at Chicago.</p><p>The Blues took 1-0 and 2-1 leads. Each time Eddie Litzenberger tied it. But 21 seconds after Litzenberger&rsquo;s second period goal made it 2-2, Andy Bathgate put New York in front again.</p><p>Fifty-nine seconds after Bathgate&rsquo;s goal, Litzenberger was flying in after Alex Delvecchio&rsquo;s rebound and Gump Worsley swung around to meet him.</p><p>Litz blasted&hellip;the puck hit the crossbar and Worsley kneeled over. At first it seemed that he had been clipped by Litzenberger&rsquo;s follow-through.</p><p>Referee Dalton McArthur, on top of the play, said that Ranger defenseman Harry Howell had bumped Worsley. Gump was off balance after blocking Delvecchio&rsquo;s shot and the bump was enough to send him crashing to the ice&mdash;he hit the side of his head, sustaining a severe concussion.</p><p>After Worsley was carried off unconscious and rushed to the hospital, Red Wing assistant trainer Danny Olesevich went into the Ranger nets.</p><p>Olesevich yielded goals to Gordie Howe and Al Johnson in the remainder of the second period to put Detroit in front, 4-3.</p><p>But Ole, rising to the challenge, was brilliant the rest of the way and Guy Gendron broke in alone from the blueline in the third period to get a 4-4 tie with his second goal of the game.</p><p>The fifth game of the unbeaten string was tougher than any of the others.</p><p>It was a Red Wing-Ranger rematch in Madison Square Garden with Marcel Faille in goal for New York.</p><p>The Rangers built a three-goal cushion in the first period on a pair by Earl Ingarfield and one by Camille Henry.</p><p>The cushion wasn&rsquo;t deep enough.</p><p>Gordie Howe ignited and climaxed the Red Wing rally as the Wings scored five straight goals and skated off with a 5-4 victory.</p><p>The Delvecchio-Litzenberger-Howe line justifiably is tagged the &ldquo;big line.&rdquo;</p><p>The trio accounted for 13 of Detroit&rsquo;s first 23 goals. In just six games Litzenberger scored six goals, four short of his entire 1960-61 production with the Black Hawks.</p><p>Howe scored a winning goal and a tying goal in Detroit&rsquo;s five game spurt. He had four goals in six games and he didn&rsquo;t get his fourth last year until the 13th game.</p><p>The big line&rsquo;s production is cause for optimism in Detroit. Last year the Wings went until late January&mdash;when Stasiuk was obtained from Boston&mdash;before coming up with a formidable first line&hellip;and still, the Wings made the playoffs and went to the finals.</p><p>Litzenberger&rsquo;s getaway saw him score at least one goal in each of the first five games before being stopped by Faille. Still, he assisted on both Howe&rsquo;s goals and built a six goal, five assist record for second place in the scoring race to Andy Bathgate. Howe was only one point behind.</p><p>While Abel welcomed the first line production figures, he had some worries about the second and third units.</p><p>Stasiuk eased those thoughts with his three-goal burst against his former employers, the Bruins.</p><p>Abel shifted Stasiuk back to right wing, the position he patrolled while helping make the Uke Line one of the League&rsquo;s best.</p><p>Stasiuk worked at left wing when he joined Detroit last year and started this season as left wing on Norm Ullman&rsquo;s line.</p><p>Then Abel moved him to the other side and to the third line. Vic had his biggest night in years.</p><p>Leo LaBine also scored against the Bruins and Jerry Toppazzini had a pair for Boston making it alumni night all around.</p><p>Al Johnson, who moved from right to left wing in Abel&rsquo;s new lineup, also prospered getting a goal in each of the New York games.</p><p>LaBine, moved up to right wing in Johnson&rsquo;s place, scored a beautiful goal against Boston, drawing out Don Head and then poking the puck behind him.</p><p>Leo was at it again in the New York series, drawing Faille to one side of the - net and then flipping the puck to over to Johnson on the unguarded side for a goal.</p><p>Still, nearly half of the forwards&mdash;five of 11&mdash;hadn&rsquo;t scored in the first half dozen games.</p><p>Norm Ullman, who led the Wings in goal scoring last year with 28, was most notable by his absence. The curly-haired center was in possibly the League&rsquo;s longest slump.</p><p>Uullman went through the final two regular season games of 1960-61, 11 playoff games and the first six this year without turning on the red light.</p><p>Ullman did pick up three assists however to move into eighth place in all-time Red Wing scoring with 310 points.</p><p><b>Ice Chips</b>: The defense, which could be Detroit&rsquo;s strong point this season, hasn&rsquo;t proved it yet.</p><p>Bill Gadsby has played extremely well for the Wings and Marcel Pronovost has been strong but generally, there have been many weak moments.</p><p>&ldquo;Our defense was poor on three of the four goals New York scored in that 4-4 game,&rdquo; said general manager Jack Adams.</p><p>Howie Young has been of some concern. The banging defenseman drew six penalty minutes in his first game, missed two because of an ankle sprain and then drew a penalty in the next game that resulted in a Boston goal.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll play Howie if he&rsquo;ll stay on the ice,&rdquo; Abel said. &ldquo;I have no quarrel with legitimate penalties. But if he gets needless penalties like he&rsquo;s done twice already, I won&rsquo;t be able to use him.&rdquo;</p><p>Abel also showed a crack-down on Howie Glover, a 21-goal man last season as a rookie. &ldquo;He&rsquo;ll play on a regular line when he proves he belongs on one,&rdquo; said Abel.</p><p>There were two additions to the Red Wing family in October&hellip;Terry Sawchuck&rsquo;s wife, Pat, gave birth to their fifth child, a girl&hellip;they&rsquo;ve named her Debbie Lynn&hellip;the Sawchuks now have four girls and a boy.</p><p>Leo LaBine&rsquo;s wife, Betty, gave birth to the couple&rsquo;s first son, Daniel Gerald&hellip;the LaBines also have two daughters.</p><p>And two Wing sons made hockey debuts&hellip;Abel&rsquo;s son, Gerry, scored a goal in the Junors Wings&rsquo; opening 4-2 triumph over the Riverside Regents in the Border Cities Hockey League, a Junior B OHA league.</p><p>Jimmy Peters Jr., who starred with the Junior Wings last season, made the jump to the Hamilton Red Wings of the OHA Junior A and helped the club win its opener over the Junior Canadiens in the Montreal Forum.</p><p>Jimmy Jr. had his own cheering section&hellip;his dad comes from the Montreal suburb of Verdun and many of his relatives still live there.</p><h2>He&rsquo;s Hot</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-04235/1827123-1-eng-US/f0002-042.jpg" title="f0002-04" width="530" height="851"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Vic Stasiuk</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

He got to the Toronto club when ex-Leaf Johnny Wilson told a writer that Red had yearning to play there. Above, Red is welcomed to new club by captain George Armstrong.</b></figcaption></div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Some time this winter, Red Kelly of the Maple Leafs will score his 200th goal as a National Hockey League player.</p><p>That will be just another lofty peak in a most remarkable puck career. He spent 13 years as one of the NHL&rsquo;s very best defencemen. Last season was his first as a full-time forward and the 20 goals he scored boosted his lifetime total to 188 in regular season play.</p><p>Now embarking on his 15th major-league campaign, Kelly has fired 188 goals and 365 assists during NHL schedules. Only four active players, Gordie Howe, BoomBoom Geoffrion. Jean Beliveau and Bert Olmstead have surpassed his 553 points.</p><p>In the Stanley Cup playoffs, he has added another 20 goals and 28 assists.</p><p>At the close of the 1960-61 campaign. Kelly was voted Leafs&rsquo; most valuable player. This year, he&rsquo;s just as important, maybe even more so, to the Toronto cause.</p><p>He&rsquo;s Leafs&rsquo; best centre and the main cog in their most productive forward line. He is the man who makes his wingmen, Frank Mahovlich and Bobby Nevin go. Last season. this line compiled 91 goals and Kelly personally was credited with 50 assists.</p><p>Moreover, the club collapsed when he was hurt near the end of the schedule and floundered badly, losing first place to Canadiens and bowing out of the Stanley Cup semi-finals.</p><p>And the Redhead is 34 years old now. He could be excused if he had lost half a stride of his speed and was slowing down in the third period. But this is not the case, not at all.</p><p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t worry about Kelly,&rdquo; says coach Punch Imlach, &ldquo;or any of my other so-called old-timers. They&rsquo;re playing the same as they always have as far as I can see.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I feel as good as ever,&rdquo; says Kelly. &ldquo;I was worried early in training camp about an old groin injury but that seems to have come along okay. I think I can skate about the same as ever.&rdquo;</p><p>Retirement? Kelly doesn&rsquo;t even think about it, although it can&rsquo;t be too far away.</p><p>Leonard, Patrick (Cornflakes) Kelly always has been a popular figure in Toronto ever since his days as a junior at St. Michael&rsquo;s college. As a member of Detroit Red Wings for 13 seasons, he did nothing to lower this esteem except break up Leaf scoring plays. He always was a gentlemanly, well-liked performer and won the Lady Byng Trophy three times, adding a fourth after he became a Leaf.</p><p>The night Red played his first game as a Leaf, he was accorded one of the greatest ovations ever heard at Maple Leaf Gardens. The fans thought he was a prize acquisition and subsequent events have proven them correct.</p><p>Red, with his silky passes and splendid footwork, must be rated close up to Jean Beliveau and Henri Richard, the NHL&rsquo;s two best centres. There was a great and justified outcry last month when coach Sid Abel neglected to name him for the NHL all-star team when Beliveau was hurt.</p><p>Today, Kelly&rsquo;s part of the Toronto scene. His wife, Andra, teaches figure skating at Leaside arena in the district where they live. Red keeps busy with public appearances. He is one of hockey&rsquo;s finest ambassadors in this regard.</p><p>The story of how Kelly came to join Leafs late in the 1959-60 season is not thoroughly known.</p><p>You will recall that Red announced his retirement from hockey rather than accept a trade sending him and Billy McNeill to New York Rangers in exchange for Eddie Shack and Bill Gadsby.</p><p>Subsequently, Leafs were in Boston for a weekend game with Bruins. Johnny Wilson, a former Red Wing, was with Leafs at the time and mentioned casually to Fred Cederberg, hockey writer for the Toronto Telegram, that Kelly always had said he&rsquo;d like to play in Toronto. Cederberg thoughtfully relayed this information to general manager Imlach, suggesting: &ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t you give Kelly a call?&rdquo;</p><p>Imlach had his chief assistant, King Clancy, phone Kelly in Detroit and eventually Clancy persuaded Red to come up to Toronto for a chat. Leafs previously had obtained permission from Jack Adams, Detroit general manager, to negotiate with Kelly. Adams&rsquo; position was that he had nothing more to lose since Kelly and McNeill had quit and Gadsby and Shack had returned to New York. Possibly, he could salvage at least something in a trade.</p><p>Subsequently, it was announced Leafs had traded defenceman Marc Reaume (now in the American League) to Detroit for Kelly.</p><p>This was the machinery: When Kelly announced his retirement, NHL president Clarence Campbell gave him five days to decide once and for all whether to quit or return to Wings. When Kelly agreed to join Leafs, he phoned Adams to report to Wings, then was formally dealt for Reaume.</p><p>He became one of the highest-paid players in Leaf history. Leafs assumed his entire contract, which was $5,600 in salary for the 18 games left in the schedule, plus a $2,000 bonus if his club made the playoffs, plus $2,000 more if they reached the Stanley Cup finals, plus $1,000 if he were rated among the League&rsquo;s six top defencemen.</p><p>Kelly always had played defence, and a spot of left wing, but Imlach immediately spotted him at centre.</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s where I think he fits best,&rdquo; said Imlach, &ldquo;and besides he&rsquo;s always available as the best spare defenceman in the League.&rdquo;</p><p>Imlach was correct about that. Kelly has taken hold in the new position and gives Leafs, at full strength, that centre ice power about which Conn Smythe used to preach when he had Syl Apps, Ted Kennedy and Nick Metz at that position. Bobby Pulford and Dave Keon are Leafs&rsquo; other centres.</p><p>Imlach and Toronto fans are praying Kelly can lead Leafs to a Stanley Cup triumph before he&rsquo;s forced to hang up his equipment for good. Time&rsquo;s growing short.</p><p>Even if he misses in this last assignment, it will have been a splendid lifetime in the sport for the number one citizen of Simcoe, Ont.</p><p>He&rsquo;s won four Lady Byng Trophies, one James Norris Trophy as the League&rsquo;s finest rearguard, eight all-star nominations and the J. P. Bickell Memorial as Leafs&rsquo; MVP. And he was on four Stanley Cup teams at Detroit.</p><p>Two hundred goals. That&rsquo;s next. And he started the season needing only 12 goals.</p><p>For an old-timer who looks as though he may go on forever, that shouldn&rsquo;t be any problem.</p><h2><b>Welcome From The Chief</b></h2><h2><b>Vets Talking It Up</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-01351/1827185-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg" title="f0003-01" width="1120" height="841"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Two outstanding veterans on the Toronto club get together for some small talk over dinner.

Blues Not Singing Blues

<div class="byline">By PAT CURRAN</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Just before the season got underway, we asked Toe Blake his feelings about the Canadiens starting off without injured Jean Beliveau and Dickie Moore and the absence of Doug Harvey on defense.</p><p>&ldquo;It just means that the other players will have to pick up the slack,&rdquo; said the Montreal coach. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not the first time we&rsquo;ve been hit by injuries and it won&rsquo;t be the last.&rdquo;</p><p>About his defense without Harvey, Blake pointed out:</p><p>&ldquo;Defense is not one player. It&rsquo;s a combination of good goalkeeping, team-work by the defensemen and strong back-checking by the forwards. They say our defense is a lot weaker&mdash;I don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s any weaker than last season.&rdquo;</p><p>Referring to the other players who had to pick up the slack, Toe might have been thinking of Ralph Backstrom (for Beliveau), Claude Provost and Marcel Bonin (for Moore).</p><p>Backstrom&rsquo;s excellent play at training camp and his early-season scoring (he had six goals and two assists in five games) have already been lauded in this hoekey bible. But not much has been said about Provost or Bonin who are also off to an impressive start.</p><p>Provost, an honest workman ever since he came into the League in 1955-56, became the Habs&rsquo; scoring leader after the first five tilts with five goals and five assists. On a weekend series against Boston and Chicago, the 28-year-old winger was the star of both games.</p><p>Against the Bruins he bagged two goals&mdash;one of them an unassisted effort on a dash that left the Boston defensemen standing there like statues. At Chicago, Provost set up Boom Boom Geoffrion for the Habs first two goals and finished his night by netting the winner on a brilliant passing-play with Bonin and Henri Richard.</p><p>Because he has just plugged along much like former-Hab Floyd Curry in unspectacular fashion, Provost has been an unheralded performer. He has yet to score 20 goals after six seasons in the NHL&mdash;his best season was 1957-58 when he netted 19&mdash;and he needs three more to reach the 100-goal mark.</p><p>Nevertheless, Claude is highly-regarded by the Montreal coach.</p><p>&ldquo;If Claude can only learn to finish off his plays, he might score 40 goals. He has a lot of speed and a good shot and isn&rsquo;t afraid to work.</p><p>&ldquo;Have you ever watched him overtake another guy on a breakaway? He can give a guy five yards and still catch him by streaking across the ice. By the way he&rsquo;s starting, this may be Provost&rsquo;s big season.&rdquo;</p><p>Marcel Bonin was supposed to be a left-wing question mark when Canadiens went to training camp. So far he&rsquo;s been answering the question with a flurry of five assists and one goal. In the season opener, &lsquo;Bonin-The-Bear&rsquo; set up all three Montreal goals. He connected for a goal and an assist at New York and had a hand in the Habs&rsquo; winner at Chicago.</p><p>As for the Montreal defense, Blake has been getting that good goal - keeping from Jacques Plante, defense support especially from Lou Fontinato, JeanGuy Talbot and Jean-Claude Tremblay and the kind of back-checking that pays off from such fellows as Phil Goyette, Gilles Tremblay and Bobby Rousseau.</p><p>Goyette and his mates&mdash;a four-man line with Billy Hicke&mdash;didn&rsquo;t do much scoring in the early games but had a big hand in checking opposing big guns. Gilles Tremblay and young Bobby Rousseau were pleasant surprises in the penalty-killing department.</p><p>It&rsquo;s been said before that Fontinato has been a lot more valuable to Canadiens than they dreamed he would be. Up until the time of writing, he was still going strong.</p><p>Long before Canadiens went to training camp, Toe Blake opined that Talbot was in for his greatest campaign since he joined the club seven years ago. The 29-year-old rear guard has played up to that par to date.</p><p>However, the early surprise at the blueline has been J. C. Tremblay. The lad from Lake St. John, brought up to the NHL for the last 29 games of the 1960-61 campaign, played so poorly in training at Victoria that rumors had him going back to the minors. Just before schedule started, it was suggested that he be tried as a left-winger where he had been a high-scorer in junior ranks one season.</p><p>Apparently J. C. is like a fighter who looks bad in the gym but great in the ring. So far, Tremblay has been outstanding, especially on the Habs&rsquo; first visit to Chicago Stadium where he broke up Black Hawk rushes time and again.</p><p>Three years ago when J. C. was starring with Hull-Ottawa Canadiens of the Eastern Pro League, rink-siders compared his style to that of Doug Harvey. It&rsquo;s a big order to say that he will ever be as great as the present New York coach.</p><p>Tremblay has a long way to go&mdash;but he has plenty of time. He won&rsquo;t be 23 until January.</p><h2><b>Come Through</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-06189/1827430-1-eng-US/f0004-062.jpg" title="f0004-06" width="541" height="516"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Marcel Bonin</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-07158/1827423-1-eng-US/f0004-072.jpg" title="f0004-07" width="553" height="537"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Claude Provost</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

PASSING THE PUCK

This was only natural since he was the Rangers&rsquo; leading scorer. But we never paid much mind to Prentice.&rdquo;</p><p>Nine points in eight games for Prentice was enough to make Harvey realize there was more than a Bathgate on the Ranger forward wall.</p><p>&ldquo;Dean can do so many things,&rdquo; said Harvey, no slouch himself. &ldquo;I never realized he could skate so well or that he had such a good shot.&rdquo;</p><p>Taking a full turn always has been part-time work for Prentice. Under coaches Phil Watson and Alf Pike, Dean was drafted as a penalty-killer, an occupation calculated to sap his almost un-sappable energy.</p><p>&ldquo;But he&rsquo;s been skating so well,&rdquo; added general manager Muzz Patrick, &ldquo;that we just couldn&rsquo;t keep him on the bench.&rdquo;</p><p>The strategy had unusually good results in the Oct. 19 bout at Chicago. With the Rangers leading 3-2, Harvey received a two-minute penalty. Free-wheeling Prentice got the call to kill the penalty. Which he did. And while he was at it he also scored the insurance goal.</p><p><b>Rangerabilia:</b> Gump Worsley was put in drydock again, this time by Gordie Howe. &ldquo;Superman&rdquo; sidelined Gump Oct. 21 in Detroit with what referee Dalt MacArthur said was a legal check&hellip;Medics at Detroit Osteopathic Hospital called it a &ldquo;severe concussion&rdquo; but Worsley was expected to be back within three games&hellip;The Way It Goes Dept.: Patrick was considering benching defenseman Larry Cahan and forward Ken Schinkel after the Oct. 18 loss to Canadiens.

Deano Braces For Hot Year - 30 Or 35 Goals

<div class="byline">By HARRY MOLTER</div><p>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;</p><p>After 376 consecutive games in the National Hockey League, Chicago Black Hawk defense man Pete Pilote was sidelined for the first time following the Oct. 22 loss in Chicago Stadium to Montreal Canadiens, 3-2.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03271/1827506-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg" title="f0005-03" width="279" height="431"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Stan Mikita</b></figcaption></div><p>Pilote took about 15 strides before crashing into Canadiens&rsquo; Henri Richard carrying the puck near center ice. The result: a shoulder separation in the right shoulder that is expected to sideline Pilote from three to five weeks&mdash;at least until the middle of November.</p><p>This is a tough break for Pilote, who made the All-Star second team the past two seasons and was named captain of the Stanley Cup champion Black Hawks this year when last year&rsquo;s captain, Ed Litzenberger, was traded to Detroit.</p><p>Pilote joined center Ray Hay on the sidelines. Hay was out with a carbuncle on his right ankle but was expected back in action around the first part of November.</p><p>Hay&rsquo;s absence has caused some shuffling of the Chicago attack. Initially, it has cut down Bobby Hull&rsquo;s effectiveness. Hull, a former center, has taken over Hay&rsquo;s playmaking and puck carrying role from his left wing spot on his line with regular right wing Murray Balfour and fill-in center Jerry Melnyk.</p><p>Hay&rsquo;s enforced absence has also caused a realignment in the Chicago power play with Hull moving back to the point in Red&rsquo;s place. With Pilote out too, defenseman Moose Vasko will probably get the call at the other point.</p><p>Wayne Hillman, a 6 foot, 195 pounder, has been called up from Buffalo to bolster the Black Hawk defense with Pilote sidelined. Newcomer Bob Turner, who has been killing penalties with Reg Fleming, will take Pilote&rsquo;s spot on defense with Vasko, while Hillman serves as the fifth man. Hillman has played two years with Buffalo in the American Hockey-League and was called up for a few turns on defense in the final Stanley Cup game against Detroit last spring.</p><p>One eye-opener with the shuffling of the forward lines has been the occasional teaming of Stan Mikita at center with Hull at left wing. Both are excellent puck carriers, poised in moving into enemy ice, have good firepower and drive. When they combine in moving toward an opponent&rsquo;s net there is a real air of expectancy and excitement.</p><p>It should be remembered that last season Mikita was going nowhere fast with three goals in 33 games. He then filled in for two games in Hay&rsquo;s place between Hull and Balfour for two games. The stint was a boost for his morale and confidence and he picked up a goal in the second game. After that he was reunited with his &ldquo;Scooter Line&rdquo; teammates, left wing Ab McDonald and right wing Ken Wharram, and the line became the hottest trio in the League and led the Black Hawks into the Stanley Cup finals. Mikita finished with 19 goals.</p><p>Coach Rudy Pilous isn&rsquo;t likely to break up his lines as yet despite the Black Hawks&rsquo; slow start. The &ldquo;Scooter Line&rdquo; remains intact and Jerry Melnyk gets the call as Hay&rsquo;s fill-in with Hull and Balfour, while newcomer Bronco Horvath teams with Ron Murphy and Eric Nesterenko.</p><p>Nobody is pushing the panic button but if things ever do get bad Pilous and General Manager Tommy Ivan will probably think more than twice about the explosive excitement of the Mikita-Hull duo.</p><h2><b>Streak Stopped</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-04199/1827499-1-eng-US/f0005-042.jpg" title="f0005-04" width="568" height="876"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Pierre Pilote</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Some nostalgic oldsters sigh that he&rsquo;s Rube Waddell on skates. Historians explain that Rube Waddell was a lefthander who played for any professional baseball team whose park was near a good fishing hole. Rube always proclaimed that he&rsquo;d sooner go fishing than play ball. Waddell was reputed to have taught a goose to skip rope&mdash;and was in process of organizing a vaudeville act when death struck.</p><p>In other words, the inference is that Shack&mdash;like the Rube&mdash;is a bit of a screwball who has ability&mdash;and more color than a riot in a paint plant. The parallel&mdash;if any&mdash;would have to end there. Waddell was a wanderer. Shack never strays more than 85 feet&mdash;the approximate distance between right wing and left, or left wing and right. You&rsquo;re never sure which beat he&rsquo;s walking, without consulting the lineup.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-02323/1827599-1-eng-US/f0006-022.jpg" title="f0006-02" width="531" height="509"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Eddie Shack</b></figcaption></div><p>Eddie probably is the only man in hockey whose progress you can follow without looking toward the pond. You merely watch the reflexes in the stands. When Shack grabs the puck, every spectator pops out of his pew&mdash;as if propelled from an ejector seat. Heads swivel and bodies sway as Eddie erupts in a shower of ice chips. You know the violence has ended when there&rsquo;s a dull thud&mdash;the puck has hit the boards&mdash;and the customers sink limply back to their benches.</p><p>Big Frank Mahovlich, a stingy man with words, marvels: &ldquo;Eddie gets as much applause when he&rsquo;s warming up as most guys get when they score a goal.&rdquo;</p><p>It wasn&rsquo;t always thus. When Shack was with the New York Rangers, Toronto fans gave him the old razzoo, every time he stepped on the ice. New York goalie Gump Worsley called him &ldquo;the boy with the big horn.&rdquo; This was a salute to Eddie&rsquo;s Durante-model nose. The Gardens regulars taunted him relentlessly regarding the architecture of his beak. But that&rsquo;s all in the past. Now, he&rsquo;s their boy.</p><h2><b>Why the Rangers Let Him Depart</b></h2><p>SHACK may not be a hot candidate for all-star left wing&mdash;or all-star right wing. But no performer will sell more tickets&mdash;nor cause more spilt beer and popcorn in front of the television sets. He&rsquo;s a stampede on skates. When he takes off, he&rsquo;s like a helicopter that&rsquo;s attempting to shake itself loose from its eggbeater overhead. Arms, knees, noggin, elbows&hellip;all are in action&mdash;each out of tune with the rest.</p><p>There has been some muttering in enemy camps that this erratic whirlybird must be brought down. He&rsquo;s causing too many bruises to folks who get in his way. Since Shack is constructed along the general lines of old Fort York, it usually is the other party in the crash who needs a tow truck.</p><p>In last week&rsquo;s game at the Gardens, Shack bumped into Bob. Turner of the Black Hawks. Fortunately, Bob&rsquo;s ribs must be made of flexible steel. They caved in&mdash;but flipped back into shape.</p><p>In the dressing room after the game, Shack was asked whether the collision shook him up. He couldn&rsquo;t locate any welts or abrasions&mdash;so concluded that none of his armor plate had been ripped loose.</p><p>&ldquo;I got right up like a bird dog,&rdquo; he remembered, &ldquo;so I musta been all right.&rdquo;</p><p>How the New York Rangers could let him depart from a town where characters sell seats is something that must puzzle students of the promotional arts. Yet, they were happy to see him depart. Alf. Pike, who was coach of the club then, murmured: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m tired of watching Shack goof around in practice. It&rsquo;s good to see him go.&rdquo;</p><p>The only trouble Leafs have with Shack at practice is that he wants to stay on the ice long after quitting time. He has a suspicion that he may develop a new shot. Yet Rangers shouldn&rsquo;t be faulted for shipping him. Shack simply refused to go all-out for the Blues. He didn&rsquo;t like the club&mdash;didn&rsquo;t like the town. Why?</p><p>&ldquo;Lived too far from the rink,&rdquo; Eddie maintains. &ldquo;Sure, I guess I coulda moved in closer&mdash;only it&rsquo;d cost a leg and an arm.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>When a big guy hits a little guy, should he be called a bully. Just because Lou Fontinato hit little Camille Henry with a bruising bodycheck last week, he has been tagged a &lsquo;big bully&rsquo; by New York press. Of course Lou outweighs Henry by some 50 pounds.</p><p>Dave Keon, good little man of the Toronto Maple Leafs, sees no reason to criticize Lou for belting Henry off his skate blades. Nor does David think lack of weight and stature is a great handicap in the NHL.</p><p>&ldquo;If you keep your head up, you have nothing to fear from the big defenseman,&rdquo; said Dave. &ldquo;Fontinato must have caught Henry with his head down, because he&rsquo;s not smart enough to nail Camille when he&rsquo;s looking.&rdquo;</p><p>Keon, a compact 5-foot-9, 160-pounder, says he never yearns to be larger.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m happy the way things are,&rdquo; added Dave. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think the big fellows have that much of an edge on me. I don&rsquo;t regard the NHL as being as dangerous as some of our cross-walks. You have to be alert to survive in both spots.&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-03230/1827637-1-eng-US/f0006-032.jpg" title="f0006-03" width="402" height="560"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Dave Keon</b></figcaption></div><p>Asked if he thought the big fellows took dead aim at him, Keon answered with an emphatic &ldquo;No&rdquo;.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m just another puck carrier to them, said Dave. But it they catch me on the boards or bounce me as I move down centre, it is more noticeable than if they collide with another big fellow.</p><p>&ldquo;That big bully jazz is for the birds.&rdquo;</p><p>Asked why he chose to move down the boards more than in the centre of the ice, Dave explained:</p><p>&ldquo;When I move along the boards, I only have to watch for the man to my right or left because I know where those boards are. I usually try to slip past the man low and seldom take a solid check.</p><p>&ldquo;If you cut into the centre you leave a blind side and the other defenseman is liable to cream you. I take that middle aisle only if I&rsquo;m sure I have only one man to beat,&rdquo; he continued.</p><p>&ldquo;You get to know what to expect from most of your checks and play them accordingly. Leo Boivin of Boston is one of the toughest defensemen to deal with. He never plays the puck and hits you low but clean.</p><p>&ldquo;It is all a matter of split-second thinking and timing. You have no set patterns, but do things by instinct.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By HANS TANNER</div><p>ROCHESTER, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>With a genuine, honest-to-goodness Dublin-born Irish-man as a coach, how can the Rochester America ns miss during the 1961-62 American Hockey League season?</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-03281/1827754-1-eng-US/f0007-032.jpg" title="f0007-03" width="277" height="408"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Johnny Crawford</b></figcaption></div><p>It&rsquo;s true, Johnny Crawford was born in Dublin, all right, but it was Dublin, Ont.</p><p>Anyway, the Amerks fine start in AHL competition this season must be more than a fluke. This man Crawford has an uncanny knack for success.</p><p>From the time the Amerks finished last season a disappointing fifth, general manager Jack Riley and his Toronto bosses had one aim&mdash;to land Johnny Crawford as coach.</p><p>They finally lured him from retirement with a one-year contract.</p><p>Crawford&rsquo;s seven-season American Hockey League coaching record shows three firsts, a second, two thirds and a sixth. He was second in 1950-51 and first in 1951-52 at the helm of the Hershey Bears before dropping out of the sport to conduct his personal business, a paper products concern on Cape Cod.</p><p>But his love of hockey brought him back in 1955-56 when he was given the chore of picking up the pieces at Providence, where the Reds had slumped to a pair of fifths and a sixth in the three previous campaigns. Johnny led them to first place and the Calder Cup playoff championship that first year, and was first again the following season. But the first-year Rochester Amerks knocked his Reds out of the playoffs in the first round.</p><p>Providence was third under Crawford in 1957-58, sixth the next year and, despite a weak team given little chance of escaping the cellar, grabbed off third in &rsquo;59-60. Johnny quit the Reds at the end of the season in a hassle over money and control. Seems Lou Pieri, Providence owner, wanted to have more of a hand in running the team, a desire Crawford did not share.</p><p>The rotund (he carries some 200 pounds on a 5-11 frame) Crawford broke into pro hockey as a player with Providence in 1937-38 and was a member of the Calder Cup championship club that season. He moved up to Boston the following year and was a pillar on the backline there for 12 seasons&mdash;being selected as a first All-Star in 1945-46 and a second team All-Star in 1942-43. In 20 seasons as a player and coach, Crawford has been out of the playoffs only three times&mdash;twice as a player and once as a coach.</p><p>Crawford is the seventh coach for the Amerks, who are in their sixth season. Previous coaches were Billy Reay (1956-57), Roly McLenahan (1957-58), Bucko McDonald (1958-59), Sam Pollock (1958-59), Steve Kraftcheck (1958-59, 1959-60, 1960-61) and Jack Riley (1960-61).</p><p>There&rsquo;s nothing as miserable as a mad Irishman, so the Amerks will be out to do their best to keep John Shea Crawford a smiling Irishman.</p><div class="sidebar"><p><b>Buy</b></p><p><b><i>&ldquo;HOCKEY PICTORIAL&rdquo;</i></b></p><p>NOVEMBER ISSUE NOW</p><p><b>On Newsstands</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

NATIONAL LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By JACK BERRY</div><p>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Danny Olesevich made his decision to switch from friction tape to white tape two years ago.</p><p>Olesevich was a Red Wing farm system goalie from 1952 to 1959.</p><p>His last season in the nets had been a tough one. While playing for the Windsor Bulldogs he stopped a puck with his eye and was immobilized in a hospital for three weeks.</p><p>He finished the season with the Charlotte (N. C.) Clippers of the Eastern Amateur League. With just 10 seconds to play in the final game of the season, Olesevich was nicked in the lip for 21 stitches.</p><p>Ole was married after the season ended so he had to decide on his future in hockey.</p><p>During the summer, Julian Klymkiw, then the Red Wing assistant trainer and emergency goalie, broke a leg while playing soccer.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-1331/1827924-1-eng-US/f0008-132.jpg" title="f0008-13" width="275" height="435"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gump Worsley</b></figcaption></div><p>When training camp opened, Klymkiw wasn&rsquo;t available so Red Wing boss Jack Adams started looking for a replacement. The job was offered to Ole and he took it.</p><p>Ole became the practice goalie and Lefty Wilson&rsquo;s assistant in the training room.</p><p>Ole finally got his big chance in the nets on Oct. 21 at Olympia.</p><p>Gump Worsley was knocked over backward midway in the second period and hit the right side of his head on the ice.</p><p>Olesevich headed for the Red Wing dressing room and changed into pads and skates.</p><p>New York was ahead, 3-2, when Worsley was hurt. In the final nine minutes and nine seconds of the period, Gordie Howe and Al Johnson hit Olese vich for two goals and a 4-3 lead.</p><p>&ldquo;I saw Gordie&rsquo;s shot coming but I just couldn&rsquo;t move on it.&rdquo;</p><p>But the 24-year-old Olesevich also kicked out seven shots in that period and then completely shut the net on his employers in the final period, blocking 10 shots.</p><p>He caught a blistering slap shot from Alex Delvecchio that almost knocked him back into the net. He dove out to take the puck away from Leo LaBine at point-blank range.</p><p>And the Rangers tied the game on Guy Gendron&rsquo;s second goal.</p><p>There was no hero&rsquo;s welcome when Olesevich went back to the Red Wing room after the game. He changed back into his whites and began picking up the towels and other paraphernalia.</p><p>But Adams went over to Olesevich and said: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sincerely proud of you.&rdquo;</p><p>Meanwhile, Worsley was bedded down for several days in Detroit Osteopathic Hospital.</p><p>He didn&rsquo;t regain full consciousness until he had been in the hospital 30 to 45 minutes.</p><p>&ldquo;But the next morning he wanted to get back to New York and play,&rdquo; said Dr. John Finley. &ldquo;He had only a slight headache which is surprising considering the force of the blow.&rdquo;</p><p>Finley said that Worsley remembered moving around to block off Litzenberger and that was all.</p><p>Detroit has become Gump&rsquo;s jinx city. On Oct. 12, 1958, Worsley injured his shoulder early in the third period and Klymkiw went into the Ranger nets. Detroit was leading 1-0 at the time and Howe and Marcel Pronovost scored against him to give the Wings a 3-0 decision.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Danny Olesevich Cut A Fancy Figure As Worsley’s Stand-In At Olympia

<p>PITTSBURGH, Pa.&mdash;</p><p>Thanks to the enterprising citizens of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the American Hockey League is privileged to play its games in that city, in the most beautiful and most pretentious sports arena in existence.</p><p>It has long been the dream and ambition of John H. Harris, one of the country&rsquo;s leading sports and theatrical promoters, to have the most modern and finest sports palace erected in his home town city.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-01412/1828091-1-eng-US/f0009-012.jpg" title="f0009-01" width="246" height="431"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>John H. Harris</b></figcaption></div><p>That dream has been realized this year, with the opening of the new twenty-two million dollar Civic Auditorium, in the heart of the downtown Pittsburgh area. It climaxed years of effort, plan ning and cooperation on the parts of Harris, civic officials and leading business people. Backed by the citizens of Pittsburgh, they now enjoy the fruits of the years by being able to witness top sports events, ice shows, theatrical productions and many civic affairs in their beautiful new arena.</p><p>With the opening of the new building, it enabled the Pittsburgh Hornets Hockey Club to return to the American Hockey League after a lapse of five years. The Hornets, who had been charter members of the league and participated for the first twenty years of organization, had been forced to suspend for five seasons when their former inadequate arena was abandoned.</p><p>The site of the new Auditorium covers 20 acres, of which the building itself is erected on four and a half. The building is circular in shape and the dome covering it is the largest ever constructed. The dome is 415 feet in diameter and is comprised of eight sections, which took 166,000 square feet of steel to cover. From the floor level to the top of the dome inside, it is 145 feet or high enough to construct a ten story building.</p><p>The most unique and modern part of The dome is that it is retractable, and six of its sections may be opened by motors, or closed, in just two or three minutes. This provides a wonderful opportunity for the spectators to enjoy outdoor events during fair weather in the summer.</p><p>The seating capacity for hockey is 10,768, with accommodations for other events ranging from 9,280 for circuses or rodeos to 13,640 for boxing and wrestling, depending on the floor space required. In addition there is standing room for many for all events.</p><p>With modern day methods of travel, parking is an acute problem in older building sites. This has been well taken care of with the provision of space for 1,700 cars right on the auditorium grounds, and also three downtown parking areas within easy walking distance.</p><p>As a boon to the representatives of the Press, Radio and TV, the best and most up to date facilities have been provided for their use. The press box contains direct telephone, Western Union and teletype connections. There is a special booth for radio and TV. In the building is a room with special equipment for the transmitting of wire photos.</p><p>For those interested in hockey, and knowing of their past successes, the return of the Hornets is welcomed, as they have always provided top notch calibre of play. Hockey in Pittsburgh goes back many years before the start of the present American Hockey League in 1936. Actually, the first professional hockey played in the United States took place in Pittsburgh in 1902, and the city has been in numerous leagues up to the time of the organization of the AHL.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

The right winger failed to sign and the club sought a replacement for him.</p><p>After four league games were played by the Blades, it was announced that Hergy had signed a 1961-62 contract.</p><p>The addition of Hergesheimer boosted the already strong Blade scoring potential. With first-place finishing Calgary last season, the former Ranger marksman collected 66 points, including 40 goals and 26 assists in 70 games.</p><p>The Blades also expect top goal production from center Gerry Goyer and left winger Bruce Carmichael. Both picked up 77 points last season with Victoria and Vancouver, respectively. Goyer netted 31 goals and Carmichael blinked the light 30 times.</p><p>Right wingers George Ford and Doug Macauley and left winger Danny Belisle are other Blade snipers capable of breaking up a game with their firepower.</p><p>The team announced that it had sent center Dave Richardson and defenseman Garry Young to Fort Wayne of the International League. Richardson was with the Winnipeg Rangers of the Manitoba Junior League last season, while Young played with the Flin Flon Bombers of the Saskatchewan Junior League.</p><p>Bringing professional hockey back to Los Angeles after an absence of 11 years, the Blades enjoyed a great deal of success in their opening league series at home.</p><p>The team played its history-making initial WHL game on its home ice at the Memorial Sports Arena before a crowd of 10,286, on Friday, October 13th.</p><p>The defending-champion Portland Buckaroos were the visitors and they skated to a 7-3 victory over the fledgling Blades.</p><p>Blade officials were pleased with the turnout for the opener, which set a new Sports Arena record for hockey. The old mark was 10,268 that turned out on September 22,1960 to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins in a National League exhibition game.</p><p>Right winger Jim Powers claimed the honor of scoring the first Blade goal in history. His counter at the 7:40 mark of the second period was followed by another off the stick of Blade defenseman George Konik. Powers then notched his second to give the Blades a 3-2 lead. Four third-period goals by Portland spoiled the opener.</p><p>The following night, the Blades reversed the script against Portland and put Los Angeles into the win column with a 5-3 triumph. Belisle and defenseman Doug McLeod scored two goals each and Goyer notched one in the win. A crowd of 5,474 saw the game to boost the two-night total to an excellent 15,760.</p><p>The Blades continued along at a .500 pace on the road, losing to the Seattle Totems, 6-4, but bouncing back to trip Spokane, 3-2.</p><p>The team does not return home until Saturday, Nov. 4, when they host the newly-formed San Francisco Seals.</p><h2><b>Resumes Playing</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></h2>

<div class="byline">By DON FLEMING</div><p>EDMONTON.

After all, the New York Rangers were sending their choice Western League talent to L.A., and Agar had a fighting chance to fashion a pennant contender.</p><p>Then, too, Agar had to be openly delighted when the Rangers steered the Western League all-star defenceman Ralph Keller his way. Most of his adversaries were equally as surprised.</p><p>This will be Keller&rsquo;s sixth season in hockey&rsquo;s westernmost league, three of them with Vancouver Canucks.

Scribe Sizes Up Keller—He Should Be In National

<div class="byline">By SAMUEL POMPEI</div><p>SPRINGFIELD, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>Rugged Don Cherry was only a few years ago one of the brightest defense prospects with the Boston Bruins.</p><p>Then suddenly he became the &ldquo;forgotten man&rdquo; of the American League champion Springfield Indians.</p><p>That is until recently when Tribe Chief Eddie Shore got one of his frequent&mdash;and sometimes erratic visions&mdash;during a hockey game.</p><p>The Indians were losing, 3-1, to the Providence Reds at the six-minute mark of the final period and seemingly doing very little to escape defeat before a full house at the Coliseum.</p><p>Eddie stalked out of his box seat, went down to the players&rsquo; bench and whispered into the ear of Coach Pat Egan:</p><p>&ldquo;Put Cherry on left wing with Bill Sweeney and Bob Kabel.&rdquo;</p><p>Egan, remembering only too well that just a week earlier Shore came out of his box to make a sudden move&mdash;putting five defensemen on the ice at the same time against the Pittsburgh Hornets and having the play misfire into the tieing goal&mdash;looked at the boss rather skeptically. But obeyed the command.</p><p>Nobody in his employ rebels against Shore, even though a brazen stroke meant breaking up the AHL&rsquo;s best scoring line of Sweeney, Billy McCreary and Bruce Cline&mdash;over 100 goals last year&mdash;and Sweeney, Kabel and Cherry charged over the boards together.</p><p>All they did was to score three straight goals and turn the tide of victory, 6-3.</p><p>Shore was so pleased with the move that he quickly announced that he was keeping Cherry up in the forward line &ldquo;until further notice.&rdquo;</p><p>Cherry battled the Reds with the tenacity of a bulldog in the corers and time after time he got the puck out to his linemates.</p><p>He showed considerable puck carrying ability, too, according to Shore. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll keep him there as long as he continues to produce for us&mdash;maybe all season,&rdquo; Shore said of his new discovered winger.</p><p>Shortly after Shore pried him away from the Bruins in a trade. Cherry drifted off to Quebec and then to the Eastern Pro League. His future seemed anything but bright.</p><p>And when the Indians worked out an affiliation with the New York Rangers and Shore was able to put together such strong backliners as Bob McCord, Noel Price Don Johns, Ted Harris and Kent Douglas&mdash;all top-notch AHL&rsquo;ers&mdash;Cherry&rsquo;s hopes of sticking with the Tribe this season seemed down right gloomy.</p><p>But now Shore thinks that Cherry is here to stay, if not as defense at left wing.</p><h2><b>Produces</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-02335/1828447-1-eng-US/f0012-022.jpg" title="f0012-02" width="543" height="1137"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Don Cherry</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Shore’s Spur-Of-The-Moment Hunch Makes A Winger Out Of Don Cherry

<p class="dropcap"><span>S</span>PRINGFIELD, Mass.&mdash;Defenseman Kent Douglas of the Springfield Indians found himself in a heap of trouble this week as the American Hockey League sat down to decide his penalty for attacking linesman Don Foreman. President Jim Balmer then suspended Douglas for 10 games.</p><p>It all started with a minute and two seconds to go in a game at Hershey on Wednesday, October 25th. With the Bears leading 7-4 and a minute and two seconds to go, Douglas attacked Foreman and struck him with his fist, and then cracked him over the head with his stick.</p><p>Douglas was given a game misconduct, which carried an automatic $50 fine.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

EASTERN PRO LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By HARRY WOLFE</div><p>SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>The Eastern Professional Hockey League is well under way. and many of the so-called forecasters can once again rest assured that Sammy Pollock will again have a powerhouse in Hull-Ottawa. Even with the loss of such fine hockey stars as Cliff Pennington, Terry Gray, Bobby Rousseau, Al McNeil, and Ed Johnson, to name a few, Hull seemed to have a fine blend of over-aged junior stars and professionals to give them a great opportunity of repeating the performance of last season, when they finished in first place, and then went on to win the Tom Foley Memorial Trophy in a memorable series with the Soo Thunderbirds.</p><p>One problem that Sam Pollock solved was the picking up of veteran Bob Armstrong from the Boston Bruins as Player-Coach of his Canadiens. Sam engineered a pretty sweet deal by sending Wayne Connelley to the Bruins for Armstrong and a year lease on young Dallas Smith for his defense. Armstrong succeeds Glen Skov who led the Habs to the League title last season. Skov retired from the game to stick to his business operations in Windsor, Ontario.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-13120/1828672-1-eng-US/f0013-132.jpg" title="f0013-13" width="281" height="422"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Willie O&rsquo;Ree</b></figcaption></div><p>On Hull-Ottawa&rsquo;s recent swing through Northern Ontario, the club was handled by Scotty Bowman, who, at the tender age of 27, is the Eastern Canadian scout for Montreal, and former coach of the Peterborough Petes of the OAHA Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; League. Scotty informed this writer that he didn&rsquo;t think he would be handling the club on a full-time basis, and that Sam Pollock was currently seeking a suitable replacement for Skov. Scotty then deviated from the topic of the Hull-Ottawa Canadiens to inform us that the Montreal Canadiens have recognized their scouting system, utilizing more scouts, and are currently seeking more hockey talent from the province of Ontario. He also went on to say that presently there are only two Montreal sponsored teams in the province&hellip;the Peterborough Petes and Kirkland Lake, and that there was a possibility of several more minor teams coming under the Canadiens sponsorship. Scotty himself, previous to becoming the interim coach of Hull-Ottawa, had just conducted the training camp, with over 70 hopefuls, in Peterborough, Ont. He stated that one of his pet projects was still the Peterborough Petes, whom he so capably guided for so many years.</p><p>Scotty seemed to relish his role as coach, and used the typical coach&rsquo;s approach of stickhandling when asked several direct questions by this writer&hellip;I guess this is the schooling of Sam Pollock! &ldquo;We will have some great professionals,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;including Freddie Hilts.&rdquo; (the 45-goal performer with Sault Thunderbirds last year, whom Montral Canadiens purchased before the National Hockey League draft). Hull-Ottawa also have two of the fastest skaters in the Eastern Professional Hockey League, in the persons of Willie O&rsquo;Ree and Stan Maxwell, obtained from the Boston Bruins in trade for Cliff Pennington and Terry Gray. They have received some of the roster of last year&rsquo;s Montreal team, in the persons of Jim Roberts and Terry Harper, and have obtained, as well, one of the outstanding college prospects in the U.S. in the person of Bill &ldquo;Bat&rdquo; Masterton, who played last season for the University of Denver. Back from the last year&rsquo;s team are the likes of Billy Annabelle, along with Keith McCreery and Wayne Freitag, and just returned to Hull-Ottawa is the rugged defenseman and now captain of the team, Jean Gauthier. The Hull-Ottawa Canadiens also have the services of Cesare Maniago.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

With Almost Everyone On Your Christmas Gift List

<div class="byline">By JACK COOK</div><p>SASKATOON. Sask.&mdash;</p><p>Everything is topsy-turvey in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.</p><p>The acknowledged pre-season favorites, Regina Pats, are struggling to keep their tails out of the eight-team cellar while Saskatoon Quakers, nobodys for years and given about the same chance again this winter, were riding high at the head of the pack.</p><p>Quakers are the surprise packages of the league, but Regina is the club that has to be the puzzler.</p><p>Frank Mario&rsquo;s defending champions, with only two major graduations from last year&rsquo;s first-place finisher, were given the nod on almost every ballot except one as runaway leaders. Lost to the club were all-stars, goalie Art Koberinski and winger Gary Butler.</p><p>A rookie-strewn defence was returning intact, as well as a goodly number of forwards, and Pats were expected to have no peers. Ironically enough, after the opening 10 days of action the only club the Queen City had managed to beat was Saskatoon, and that turned out to be Quakers only loss.</p><p>Quakers, on the other hand, have been making everyone sit up and take notice after making up for a slow start with a string of home-ice victories. Saskatoon lost its opener, 6-2 to Pats.</p><p>Rookie coach-manager Doug Dawson, a former Flin Flon executive, has had his Quakers setting a torrid pace. This, coupled with some outstanding work in the nets by Phil Headley, purchased in the off season from Brandon of the Manitoba Junior League, has kept Quakers to the fore.</p><p>Another reason for the early season splurge was the rapid scoring pace of left-winger Marv Henning, a holdover from last year&rsquo;s club. Henning pumped home 11 goals in the first five games and earned the hat trick in three successive occasions.</p><p>The hard-luck club of the league has to be Bud MacPherson&rsquo;s fledgling Weyburn Red Wings, the newest entry. The Wings, who drew some fine crowds for their early games, one of them to a victory over Regina, have been beaten five times in two weeks by a single goal.</p><p>One of the few dissenters when it came to picking the Reginans as runaway leaders was Scotty Munro, the rotund boss of Estevan Bruins. Generally, this sort of an attitude is nothing new for the Scotchman, but in this instance he appears to know what he&rsquo;s talking about.</p><p>At the time of this writing Estevan was the only club without a defeat, and only trailed leading Saskatoon because of fewer games played. Scotty, by the way, is receiving yoeman service from goalie Joe Letcher, who has been bouncing around between Pats, Bruins and York-ton&rsquo;s senior Terriers for the past two winters.</p><p>League commissioner Frank Boucher of Saskatoon has clamped down on rough play in the form of brawls.</p><p>Boucher has announced that any players joining into a fight would be given an automatic match penalty and banished from the game. Such a penalty would be recorded as 10 minutes against the player, but his team would not be forced to play shorthanded</p><p>A similar rule was introduced late last season, but it also called for an automatic one game suspension. The commissioner won&rsquo;t put the later portion into effect &ldquo;unless the need arises.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Sizzling Quaker</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01411/1828765-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg" title="f0014-01" width="540" height="728"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Marv Henning</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Quakers Surprise, Pats Flop In SJHL

<div class="byline">By SID PAYNE</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>The Greensboro Generals are back in high gear after the first weekend of play in the Eastern League.</p><p>Last season&rsquo;s top offensive club in the loop, the Generals showed they can still score goals at a rapid clip by winning their first two games by the lopsided scores of 7-2 and 9-0.</p><p>The Generals have virtually the same team that captured the Southern Division title last season while racking up 339 goals, an average of better then five goals a game.</p><p>Gone from last year&rsquo;s club are only three players: goalie Don Campbell, defenseman Murray Davidson and forward Billy Forehan. But the big guns have returned and that means trouble for the other goalies around the circuit.</p><p>Les Lilley, the fourth best scorer in the league last season with over 100 points, spearheads the Generals&rsquo; versatile offense which produce goals from any of their three lines. Also Ron Muir, Garry Sharp, Rene Pepin and Bob Forehan have demonstrated so far they haven&rsquo;t lost their old scoring punch.</p><p>Sharp and Lilley each scored twice in Greeensboro&rsquo;s first two wins while newcomers Harvey Nash also found the scoring column in the opener against Charlotte. The Generals&rsquo; 9-0 triumph was achieved at the expense of Philadelphia.</p><p>JOHNSTOWN: Jets bagged first two games, 8-2 over Long Island and 4-2 over New Haven before dropping 4-3 decision to Ducks on the latter&rsquo;s ice&hellip;Don Hall netted twice in the opener against Long Island while John Lumley tallied a goal in each of the Jets&rsquo; first three games&hellip;</p><p>NEW HAVEN: Wally Kullman scored two goals as Blades won their first opener over Philadelphia, 4-2&hellip;Wally bagged another in losing effort against Johnstown&hellip;Bob Ertel banged home pair in Blades 9-6 loss to Clinton&hellip;That setback was only the Blades&rsquo; fifth at home in two seasons.</p><p>LONG ISLAND: Jack Allard punched home winning goal in Ducks&rsquo; 4-3 triumph over Johnstown in home opener&hellip;Allard also registered in defeat at Johnstown and in Long Island&rsquo;s 2-2 tie at Clinton&hellip;Goalie Gilles Villemure made 52 saves for Ducks in that one.</p><p>CLINTON: After opening at home with a 2-2 deadlock, Comets slugged New Haven, 9-6 as Pete Babando and Skip Teal scored two goals apiece&hellip;Other Clinton tallies in high-scoring game were made by newcomers Jeannot Gilbert, Reg Mulholland. Jacques Faubert and veterans Angie DeFelice and Tim Hook.</p><p>PHILADELPHIA: After dropping first two games by 4-2 and 9-0 scores, Philadelphia rolled past Knoxville, 7-4, to break into the win column&hellip;The Ramblers&rsquo; two smallest players. Blinky Boyce and Eno Kraft bagged two goals apiece in the victory&hellip;Art Hart and Hugh Campbell tallied in opening game defeat.</p><p>KNOXVILLE: After whipping Charlotte, 3-2, in inaugural, the Knights were thumped by Philadelphia despite Joe Zorica&rsquo;s two goals&hellip;The Knights embark on their extended road trip of the season after playing their two at home.</p><p>CHARLOTTE: The Checkers are the only winless team in the league after two starts&hellip;After opening loss to Knoxville, Charlotte was routed by Greensboro. Florent Pilotte and Jim McNulty were the scorers in that one as coach Joe Crozier is still seeking his first EHL success.</p><h2><b>Star General</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-02325/1828796-1-eng-US/f0014-022.jpg" title="f0014-02" width="531" height="510"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Les Lilley</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Generals Show Power In EHL; Lilley Leader

<div class="byline">By HOWIE NEWSTATE</div><p>MUSKEGON, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Muskegon&rsquo;s Zephyrs, after an excellent training camp, have started the 1961-62 International Hockey League season, winning two of their first three games.</p><p>Last year, this was the Zephyrs&rsquo; big problem&mdash;getting off to a slow start, although they finished strong, winning the IHL&rsquo;s Eastern Division playoff trophy.</p><p>&ldquo;After a very spirited training period, we feel that this squad will be competitive and representative in the IHL right from the opening whistle,&rdquo; claimed Muskegon G. M. Jerry DeLise.</p><p>&ldquo;Coach Lallo experienced great difficulty in cutting the Zephyr team down to the league maximum of 13 players.&rdquo;</p><p>Missing from last season&rsquo;s crew are defenseman Rod Paa vola (now with Providence; Jim McLeod (a goalie who is playing with Seattle); Joe Morneau (traded to Indianapolis); Norm Doyle (optional to Toledo) and Alan Baty, Georges Bougie and Gerry Frennette, who retired.</p><p>Coach Moose Lallo thinks he &ldquo;has a real comer&rdquo; in rookie net-minder Dennis Jordon. Jordon, a Detroit Red Wings farmhand, played last season in the OHA with the Guelph Royals.</p><p>The Red Wings have also sent wingers Lyle Porter and Larry Lund. Porter graduated from the Hamilton Red Wings and Lund from the Edmonton Oil Kings.</p><p>Joe Kastelic, a perennial 20-goal-a-year-man, obtained from Ft. Wayne, and Claude Boucher, of the Three Riven, Que. Jr. squad are the other newcomers to the &rsquo;61-&rsquo;62 edition.</p><p>Gerry Claude, the veteran slapshot artist, captains the Zephyrs. Although in his mid-thirties, he has been a very valuable asset on defense to Coach Lallo and the Zephyrs. Lallo and Joe Kiss round out the blueline corps.</p><p>Warren Back centers a veteran line for Bryan McLay and Ronnie Stephenson, while another returnee, Stan Konrad, pivots for ex-perenced Kenny Hayden and Porter.</p><p>Kastelic helps to settle down rookies Boucher and Lund on the third set.</p><p>Although a young club, the Zephyrs are a lot stronger than they were last year. With a break or two during the campaign, they could be the &ldquo;Cinderella&rdquo; team of the 1961-62 season.</p><p><b>IHL Notes</b>&hellip;Aggie Kukulowicz, traded to Minneapolis by St. Paul this summer, received a broken jaw in the Millers game at Indianapolis&hellip;Kukulowicz is expected out for about three weeks.</p><p>Alex Shibicky, Indianopolis coach, who is trying to make a contender out of his Chiefs, released Jerry Lamoureux and Denis Menard and picked up Jean Therrien, a winger-defenseman from Ft. Wayne&hellip;Menard was dropped for not meeting conditioning regulations.</p><p>Gaetan Secours, Toledo forward, tallied the first hat-trick of the season, in a 9-5 Mercury besting of Muskegon&hellip;Secours pumped home goals in each of the three periods.</p><p>Howie Milford, Omaha mentor, was thrown out of the opener in Ft. Wayne, by Referee Hal Jackson for coming on the ice, disputing a decision&hellip;Milford was stopped by his players before reaching Jackson.</p><h2><b>Newcomer</b></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-03243/1828827-1-eng-US/f0014-032.jpg" title="f0014-03" width="521" height="590"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Joe Kastelic</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Leading lights are Martin, goaltender Buddy Blom, tough defenceman Ron Harris and their speedy forward, obtained from Toronto Marlboros, Howie Menard.</p><p>Niagara Falls Flyers, once again coached, managed and owned by former New York American Hap Emms, lost their brilliant defenceman Ed Westfall to Boston Bruins and also their top points scorer Jeannot Gilbert.</p><p>However both goaltenders Wayne Rutledge and Jim Armstrong are back along with three centres Bill Glashan, Gary Harmer and Billy Knibbs.

They may have difficulty retaining the first position they held last year but should have no trouble qualifying for the playoffs.</p><p>Peterborough Petes were also hard hit by graduation. Their absentees this year include defencemen Barclay Plager and Lou Kazowski and high-scoring forwards Wayne Boddy and Doug Senior. They have retained Claude Larose who had 63 points last year and defenceman Bob Jamieson who is also the Ontario junior golf champion.</p><p>Montreal is still virtually an unknown quantity.

McKenzie was one of the Canadian referees at the Olympics in Squaw Valley&hellip;It looks like the hard luck guy of hockey Mervin Dubchuk of Kenora. is going to miss his chance with the Hull Ottawa Canadiens. Dubchuk is home after impressing everyone in training camp with his ability. It seems an injured wrist from last year in the Intermediate Finals with the Kenora Thistles has not healed too well and has hampered his shooting.

Japan has already asked the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association to send a club over next year.

News From Lakehead Area

<div class="byline">By VINCE LEAH</div><p>WINNIPEG, Man.&mdash;</p><p>A door-mat in recent seasons, St. Boniface Canadiens are on the march again in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. As this was penned the Habitants have an impressive 4-1 record including a pair of shutouts to rookie goalkeeper Henry Goy and it looks like you must include the Canyens as serious title contenders this term.</p><p>Goy has been so impressive regular goalkeeper Brian Lunney who has been busy with junior football, may have trouble getting his job back. Highlighting the Canadien effort has been the play of tall Brian Strimbiski, Steve Yoshino, Paul Allen and young Bob Peers.</p><p>Winnipeg Braves also have made a brisk start, their lone defeat at the hands of Canadiens. The Braves sold Andy Herrebout to Flin Flon Bombers of the Saskatchewan league but have been going strong without him.</p><p>Monarchs have Dennis Goethals back after he had a whirl with Hamilton of the OHA circuit and the Regals have been getting admirable service from goalkeeper Doug Bowley, Bill Smythe and Peter Stemkowski and figure to do better than last season when they ran a poor last.</p><p>Brandon, a perennial contender, is off to an ordinary start, The Wheat Kings have one victory in four starts and even lost to Canadiens at home which is something that only happens once in a long while to the Wheaties. Bright spot for the Wheaties is Rick Brown from St. Paul, Minn., but the Brandon club had to ship Tom Iannone back to his home town of Flin Flon when the Bombers declined to give him <i>a</i> transfer. Leon Garringer from Flin Flon, however, has joined the Wheaties. He scored 61 goals in juvenile play last season and Coach Ollie Dorohoy hopes he does at least half as well this campaign.</p><p>General manager Deno Ball&rsquo;s ambitious plan to go with 17-year-olds hasn&rsquo;t helped Rangers too much. After losing three in a row they finally downed Monarchs 10-6. Rangers have 14 boys of juvenile age and they have been outgunned by the opposition generally and they have had to depend heavily on veterans Bob Stoyko, Jimmy Johnson, Bob Woytowich, Tom Treoseky and Roy Davidson. Ball has been trying to wangle a trade for a new goalkeeper. Rangers also lost defenceman Dennis Toyne for unseemly behavior in a game at Brandon. Toyne drew a three-game suspension from league president Bill Johnston.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By BUSTER CLEGG</div><p>PROVIDENCE, R.

Already the Roosters have played before several standingroom crowds, something they haven&rsquo;t done in over a season.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-04243/1829061-1-eng-US/f0015-042.jpg" title="f0015-04" width="298" height="439"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Paul Larivee</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-05190/1829054-1-eng-US/f0015-052.jpg" title="f0015-05" width="264" height="432"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Zelilo Toppazzini</b></figcaption></div><p>Reason for the early Bird success seems to be a custom blended offense, defense, and goaltending for the most part.</p><p>As far as offense is concerned, the Reds have been able to balance their scoring punch quite neatly among three lines, two of them scoring six goals each, and the third notched five.</p><p>The combo of veteran Zellio Toppazzini, captain Paul Larivee, and sophomore George Ranieri have totaled six thus far, each member checking in two for the Roosters. Larivee, in his tenth season with Providence, has taken over the club lead in points.</p><p>A second unit composed of speedsters Danny Poliziani and Jimmy Bartlett, centered by steady Stan Baluik, have also chipped six. Both Bartlett and Poliziani have registered three, while Baluik has been setting them up.</p><p>A third line, one currently the most popular in Providence, is the French Line. Gerry Ouellette and rookies Serge Boudreault and Pierre Brillant have produced some of the most exciting goalmouth scrambles and action of the season. Brillant has fired three and the others two each.</p><p>What is most surprising is the production output by the Reds&rsquo; defense this year. All last year the backline scored only five goals, but already this year&rsquo;s corps has blasted four from the blue line.</p><p>Defensively the Roosters have organized a body-tossing, brutal lot of boys. Headed by player-coach Ferny Flaman himself, who commands respect of all opposing for wards, the defense has been one of the hardest-hitting in memory. Flaman has cohorts Matt Ravlich, Bob Blackburn, Dino Mascotto and Ian Anderson dealing out the business, which has kept the enemy honest at all times.</p><p>Eddie Giacomin, youthful goalie who took over the nets last season, is performing greatly. Ed has made some impossible saves in early games which has given the team a big lift, and has had the fans blinking their hockey eyes.</p><p>Right now it looks as if owner Lou Pieri and manager Terry Reardon have built a real contender for enthusiastic Providence fans. They have given Rhody rooters just what they have been asking for&mdash;a team which is fast, rough, tough, and talented. It&rsquo;s a custom-blended team for Providence.</p><p><b>COOP SCOOP</b>&hellip;Bob Beckett was recalled to Boston on Oct. 24. His departure left the team at 19 in number&hellip;Eddie MacQueen has been doing a fine job as handyman with the club. Mac has been killing penalties, working the point on power-plays, and generally filling in where needed. Ed is one of the most versatile players in hockey&hellip;Larry Leach, out with a chipped ankle bone, is due back in the lineup soon. His return will give the Reds four top centers&hellip;Goalie, Gil Mayer, purchased from Cleveland this fall, has been healing a badly cut hand. Mayer cut his right hand before training camp, and it progressed slowly until lately&hellip;From Oct. 27 to Nov. 5, a span of ten days, the Reds engage in seven games. This early test could be conclusive as to prospects for &rsquo;61-62.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

HOCKEY CROSSWORD

<div class="byline">By ROGER 8ARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass&hellip;</p><p>The Bruins began their 38th National League season with a lineup which included seven rookies and 11 players who were elsewhere at a comparable time a year ago.</p><p>The Bruins had made their changes. This was to be the team with which they would bid for a position in the Stanley Cup playoffs.</p><p>But less than two weeks later what was ordained for the Bruins? Changes, necessitated by a winless start.</p><p>The first change occurred in goal where, after six games, rookie Don Head was replaced by Easy Ed Chadwick, a veteran.</p><p>When Lynn Patrick announced his intention of substituting Chadwick for Head, he did not express displeasure with Head. By not doing so he left the way open for Head&rsquo;s return to the lineup.</p><p>With Head as their goalkeeper, the Bruins had a tie and five losses and a goals-against average of more than five per game.</p><p>Chadwick broke into the lineup for games with the Montreal Canadiens in Montreal and the Toronto Maple Leafs here. Montreal and Toronto beat him for 15 goals.</p><p>That left the Bruins&rsquo; goalkeeping situation up in the air&mdash;and Patrick feeling unhappy about the play of some of the men he had figured would provide his team&rsquo;s stability this season.</p><p>&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t fault the goalkeepers entirely,&rdquo; said the Bruins&rsquo; manager, &ldquo;and some of our rookies have been playing well, better than some of the experienced players.</p><p>&ldquo;But we can&rsquo;t keep going this way. Something must be done. I figured we&rsquo;d have our share of troubles in the early part of the season, but we&rsquo;ve been having more than our share.&rdquo;</p><p>An obvious Bruins&rsquo; deficit in their early games here was a lack of checking muscle. In a contactconscious area Patrick&rsquo;s new team played one non-contact game after another in a decided contrast to the wear-&rsquo;em-down style of Milt Schmidt&rsquo;s teams of several seasons back.</p><p>Opposing teams swept in on Head&mdash;and Chadwick in his first appearance here&mdash;in waves, and the Bruins couldn&rsquo;t muster the organization on offense to counteract the opponents&rsquo; attacks.</p><p>In view of the Bruins&rsquo; inability to win in their first eight games, it seemed possible that Patrick might be forced to make several changes, affecting positions other than goal. He had both Head and Chadwick, who had been playing for the Kingston Frontenacs of the Eastern Professional League, available in the days after Easy Ed&rsquo;s ill-starred nine-goal losing debut here.</p><p>Of the Bruins&rsquo; youngsters those receiving good marks for their early play included Defensemen Pat Stapleton and Ed Westfall and Forwards Cliff Pennington and Terry Gray.</p><h2><i>He&rsquo;s Okay</i></h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/c4-02114/1829178-1-eng-US/c4-022.jpg" title="C4-02" width="574" height="553"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Terry Gray</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>
