WESTERN LEAGUE
Most Goals—Most Assists Portland scoring ace Gord Fashoway picked up one goal during the past week to up his total to 11 in 14 games to maintain the League goal-scoring lead. Seattle’s Guyle Fielder took over the lead in the assist department with 16 assists in 14 games. Flyer Leader Many critics are wondering how the Edmonton Flyers continue to win at ease with so many rookies in the line-up. The answer may be found in one player, centerman Len Lunde. Lunde is the only player to date to score at least one point in each and every game played thus far by his team—a total of eleven games. How The Race Goes (Standings On Tues. AM.

Tilings To Come In Chi—One Is Wayne
CHICAGO, III.— For the first time in two seasons the Chicago Black Hawks have had to dip into their farm system for a regular-season replacement. This occurred when defenseman Pete Pilote was injured in the sixth game of the current National Hockey League season with a separation in his right shoulder. To fill in for the next several weeks the Black Hawks immediately called up Wayne Hillman from their Buffalo farm team in the American Hockey League. Hillman’s performance has confirmed what experts have suspected and what was hinted during the Stanley Cup playoffs last spring—General Manager Tommy Ivan has built a sound farm organization with plenty of talent available. Last year Chicago went through the entire season with very few injuries and no major ones. Pilote, goalie Glenn Hall, left winger Ron Murphy and…

TORONTO, Ont.— Maple Leaf hockey fans have a new hero. Eddie (Pinocchio) Shack, the whirling, swirling, uninhibited right-winger, is the new darling of the galleries. Applause meters at Maple Leaf Gardens indicate his non-stop, fig-for-danger style of play has made him Leafs’ most popular player. His appearances on the dasher invariably are greeted with a roar and he never fails to create an even louder uproar. Over Leafs’ first 14 games, Shack scored only three goals and nine assists, hardly the club’s greatest output. “He gives out so much,” a fan says. “He works so hard that you have to admire him”. Shack came to Leafs from New York Rangers partway through last season, in exchange for veterans Brian Cullen and Johnny Wilson. Ever since, Leafs have been trying to harness his vast energy and…

IN THE TORONTO STAR The Coach And The Convalescents Two men met in the passageway between the rails and the box seats at the Maple Leaf Gardens. One was Dickie Moore; occupation: Hockey player; club: Montreal Canadiens; medical history: Three shoulder separations; surgery on both knees for removal of damaged cartilage; fractured foot; broken left wrist; knuckles cracked in his right hand. The other man was Elmer Lach; occupation: ex-hockey player, now an executive with a transport company; former club: Montreal Canadiens; medical history: Jaw broken twice; fractured skull; smashed nose; broken cheekbone; leg fractured; arm broken. They nodded affably, as befitted a couple of professional men. Moore seemed surprised when a reporter asked him about his health. It was excellent, he said. Excellent? He got into the lineup only last week, after an…
