Rudy Names His Loafers-- Bobby Heads The List
CHICAGO, Ill.— It had been another tough weekend for the struggling Stanley Cup champion Black Hawks. After winning their second and third road games of the season (in New York and Boston during the week) they completely flubbed a chance to take a firm hold on fourth place when they lost twice to Detroit’s Red Wings in a home-and-home series, 3-0 and 3-2. As a result the Red Wings took over fourth place and the Black Hawks dropped back to fifth. They had two home games before starting on a holiday road trip which finds them playing seven of 10 games away from home between Dec. 21 and Jan. 6. The home loss, 3-2 to Detroit when Gordie Howe stole the puck, faked out the Chicago defense and passed off to wingmate Vic Stasiuk…

In-And-Out Bisons Puzzle; DeJordy Can’t Figure It
BUFFALO, N.Y.— The Buffalo Bisons complete lack of consistency is a king-sized puzzle in view of the high-grade personnel, and one of the most perplexed is goalie Denis DeJordy, who gave up only 22 goals in the first 12 games, and then allowed 55 in the next 12. DeJordy isn’t quite certain for the difference in the goals-against column, but the young French-Canadian netminder isn’t blaming anyone but himself. DeJordy didn’t mention any forwards who forgot to come back, or any defensemen who failed to get their jobs done, as he pondered the situation. “That’s quite a thing…a 33-goal difference in just 12 games, and yet I don’t know exactly what the reason is,” he said. “Maybe I’m doing a few things differently, but it shouldn’t make that much difference. I’ve been coming out of…
Braves Hoping They Can Duplicate Xmas Streak Of The 1960-61 Season
CHICAGO, Ill.— It was just a year ago on Christmas night that the Chicago Black Hawks started a winning streak that gave them the momentum to carry on to victory in the Stanley Cup playoffs. For the first month of the 1960-61 season the Hawks were one of the hot teams in the National Hockey League. But it didn’t last. Everything started going wrong and finally, in the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas, they won only one game in 12, losing eight and tying three. The Black Hawk management tried everything from fines to man-to-man talks with the individual players. But in the end it remained for the determination of the “Scooter Line” of center Stan Mikita, left wing Ab McDonald and right wing Kenny Wharram to provide the winning spark. Over the first half…
