Paddy Moran, goalie with the Quebec Bulldogs, which won the Stanley Cup in consecutive seasons, starting in 1911-12. played with the Sarsfields Club which won the city juvenile championship when he was 15 years of age. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m pretty sure there was no juvenile hockey in Quebec before then,&rdquo; said the 84-year-old hockey hall of famer.</p><p>Joe Malone, another Quebec boy enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame probably also played juvenile hockey in Quebec, according to Moran, but the veteran goaltender cannot recall the name of his team.</p><p>At any rate Moran recalls a few members of that championship juvenile team. &ldquo;AU the players were from Champlain St. (along the waterfront in lowertown Quebec) and a fellow by the name of Dick Burke was president of the Sarsfield Club. Some of the players I recall are Tommy Gosselin, Sonny Dalberg, Ed Lawson, Burke and Tom Mahoney,&rdquo; said Moran. &ldquo;The team we beat for the championship was the Unions.&rdquo;</p><p>As far as can be ascertained, Juvenile hockey was played here in fits and starts, but the records show a revival of the game in 1937-38 when a four-team league was organized by the St. Sacrement Youth Association. As the old Arena (destroyed by fire during the war years) was the only indoor rink at the time, all juvenile games were played outdoors. The four teams in the league when it was originally formed were Don Bosco, Jesuits, Sillery and St. Sacrement.</p><p>A number of players from that circuit made their marks in pro or top amateur hockey. Including Paul Bibeault, who goaled for Montreal Canadiens, Toronto, Boston, and Chicago in the N.H.L. as well as playing for such A.H.L. teams as Washington, Buffalo and Cincinnati; Nils Tremblay and Armand Gaudreault, who played for Quebec Aces when they won the Allan Cup in 1943-44; Roger Gagne and Guy Labrie, top amateurs and many others.</p><p>Later the league expanded to include a section from Limoileu. In the uppertown section. St. Pat&rsquo;s and Notre Dame du Chemin joined the circuit. Johnny Taugher, for many years a top amateur, coached the St. Pat&rsquo;s team.</p><p>Play became rough in this circuit and it finally disbanded after six seasons of operation.</p><p>A juvenile league, part of the minor hockey system organized by the Playground Commission here (OTJ), in 1949. produced a bumper crop of players who later made their mark in big time hockey. Camille Henry, scoring star with New York Rangers, jumped directly from juvenile hockey to Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo;, with the Quebec Citadels at a time when Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; Hockey was packing the Coliseum for practically every game. Michel Labadie, now with Quebec Aces of the American Hockey League, is another product of Juvenile Hockey here. Gerry McNeil jumped from the Limoilou juvenile team to Montreal Royals, on the recommendation of Mike McMahon. Jackie LeClair, another ex-Canadien, jumped from the Quebec juvenile league to the Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; club in Lethbridge, Alberta, Adjutor Cote, with the Academy juveniles, made the big hop to the Quebec Senior Hockey League with Sherbrooke, then to Canadiens.</p><p>Today, two juvenile leagues are in operation in Quebec, last year, the Q.A.H.A. Juvenile League championship was won by St. Martyr&rsquo;s team, which was coached by Bob Chevalier, a Quebec boy who played with Citadels Jr. Other teams in that division were Charny, St. Sacrement and St. Sauveur.</p><p>The other league came under the Playgrounds Federation, and consisted of eight teams. The championship was won by Montmorency.</p><p>Gerard Bolduc has headed the minor hockey league setup since just after the war. Pat Timmons, who was in charge of minor hockey in Sherbrooke, took over as vice-president of the setup here upon his transfer to Quebec and has been on the job for the past 10 years. The minor setup here consists of juvenile, midget, bantam and pee wee groups. The Minor Leagues committee was first formed in 1947-48 with a total of 32 clubs and 350 players. By 1952-53 it had expanded to 27 leagues, 85 clubs and 1,068 players. Of that number five leagues with 18 clubs and 231 players were in the juvenile category.</p><p>Under today&rsquo;s setup most players graduate from juvenile hockey to Junior &lsquo;B&rsquo;, a four-team setup here, composed of Aces, Montmorency, Pierre Tardif and Beauport. The next step for the talented ones is a tryout with Aces of the Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; Provincial League which is composed of Quebec Aces, Victoriaville, Shawinigan, Montreal, North. St. Hyacinthe and Three Rivers.</p><h2>Started With Citadel Juveniles</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/c4-02107/1776011-1-eng-US/c4-022.jpg" title="C4-02" width="523" height="832"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Jackie Leclair</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/c4-03103/1776004-1-eng-US/c4-032.jpg" title="C4-03" width="520" height="500"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Camille Henry</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/c4-0486/1775997-1-eng-US/c4-042.jpg" title="C4-04" width="526" height="858"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Paul Bibeault</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/c4-0517/1775990-1-eng-US/c4-052.jpg" title="C4-05" width="504" height="836"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gerry McNeil</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Doug For Hart And Norris At Half

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Doug Harvey, playing coach of the New York Rangers, topped the voting in two of the four National Hockey League trophies at the half-way mark of the 1961-62 season.

Just 13 points back of him was Jacques Plante, Montreal&rsquo;s clever goalkeeper. Detroit&rsquo;s Gordie Howe, only five-time winner of this trophy, finished third in the voting with 23 points.</p><p>The voting was very close for all trophies except the James Norris Memorial which Harvey appears to have a stranglehold on.

Provost polled 36 points to 35 for McKenney. Third place went to Toronto&rsquo;s Red Kelly with 26 points.</p><p>Points were awarded on the basis of five for a first choice, three for a second and one for a third. A unanimous choice for any trophy would be 90 points. The first half consisted of all games up to and including those of December 29, 1961. Hockey writers and broadcasters from the six NHL cities did the voting.</p><p>A similar ballot will be held for the second half of the current season and the players with the most points for the two halves will win these coveted individual trophies and the $1,000 that accompanies each trophy.

Rousseau On Top As Rook, Provost Byng

<div class="byline">By JACK BERRY</div><p>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Likeable Len Lunde had a full summer to ponder his problem.</p><p>It was early June when Detroit traded to Chicago for center Eddie Litzenberger.</p><p>Lunde, out home in Edmonton, figured that made him expendable. The Wings had Litz, Alex Delvecchio, Norm Ullman and rookie Bruce MacGregor as centermen.</p><p>And, Len didn&rsquo;t have a good season with the Wings. He had only six goals for the second straight year.</p><p>Fans in Detroit were down on the swift-skating Westerner. Lunde had come to the Wings full of bright promise. He had 20 and 39 goal years at Edmonton and made the Western League All-Star team his sophomore year.</p><p>Then it was promotion to the big club. He was 21-years-old. Lunde had a good year with 14 goals and 12 assists.</p><p>But the two six goal years came after that and so did a broken ankle late last season. Len came back from that to score two goals in the playoffs.</p><p>Still, he was expendable. And he was assigned to the Edmonton roster in training camp.</p><p>&ldquo;I figured then that I&rsquo;d do my best to get back in the National League either with the Wings or another club,&rdquo; Lunde said.</p><p>Reports started coming in to general manager Jack Adams from the western outpost that Lunde was the Lunde of a few years ago, burning up the league.</p><p>They all said that it wouldn&rsquo;t be long before Lunde was back in the NHL.</p><p>And what caused the change?</p><p>&ldquo;Confidence,&rdquo; answered Lunde. &ldquo;I think the game is half confidence&mdash;the right mental attitude.</p><p>&ldquo;I was playing on the big line for Edmonton and I was killing penalties, on the powerplay and my regular shift. I was getting plenty of ice time.</p><p>&ldquo;It was the first time I&rsquo;ve killed penalties since turning pro.&rdquo;</p><p>Len&rsquo;s hometown fans were behind him, too.</p><p>&ldquo;I thought they might get on me after being sent down but they didn&rsquo;t.&rdquo;</p><p>Regular play&hellip;and a lot of it&hellip;made a new man of Lunde, restoring his confidence.</p><p>&lsquo;&lsquo;You don&rsquo;t have time to think &lsquo;I&rsquo;m going to pass here&rsquo; or &lsquo;I&rsquo;m going to do this&rsquo; with the puck,&rdquo; Lunde said. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve just got to do it instinctively and you&rsquo;ve got to be relaxed to do it.</p><p>&ldquo;I got that feeling again.&rdquo;</p><p>Lund had it so much that he was among the leading scorers of the WHL right from the opening faceoff. He was named the North Division&rsquo;s All-Star center after the first half and had 16 goals and 29 assists in 31 games.</p><p>This despite a painful thigh muscle injury incurred when he slid into a goal post in Los Angeles.</p><p>The injury caused Lunde to miss several games and he still is taking treatment for it although it happened in November.</p><p>&ldquo;It has to be drained occasionally but I&rsquo;m getting over it now,&rdquo; Lunde said.</p><p>Lunde&rsquo;s work out west was noted daily by Adams and coach Sid Abel. They always looked for his name on the big board in publicist Elliott Trumbull&rsquo;s office charting the goals and assists of all the pros in the Red Wing system&hellip;</p><p>On Dec. 29, Edmonton general manager Bud Poile told Lunde that the Wings had asked waivers on Litzenberger and that Len would be reporting to the Wings in the next week.</p><p>&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t want to come back unless I got a chance to play regularly,&rdquo; Lunde said. &ldquo;I would have rather finished the season in Edmonton.&rdquo;</p><p>And at the rate Lunde was going, it would be almost certain that some NHL club would claim him in the draft if the Wings didn&rsquo;t protect him.</p><p>But it hasn&rsquo;t turned out that way. He&rsquo;s back with the big club, centering the third line and has drawn praise from Abel for his play.</p><h2>Wing Again</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01333/1774051-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="524" height="508"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Len Lunde</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Len’s Two Way Duty In Minors Made Him Ripe

<div class="byline">By JIM PROUDFOOT</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0002-02" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02317/1774113-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Billy Harris</b></figcaption></div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Disregard all those rumors about trades involving Toronto Maple Leafs.</p><p>Manager-coach Punch Imlach is convinced he has a championship team if only he can ride out the storm of injuries currently buffeting him. The only kind of a deal he&rsquo;d consider making would be so one-sided it wouldn&rsquo;t interest a lowly-placed club.</p><p>Latest story concerned Muzz Patrick&rsquo;s hopes of acquiring Billy Harris for his slumping New York Rangers. Harris is the National Hockey League&rsquo;s best part-time player and, following Leafs&rsquo; purchase of Ed Litzenberger, might have been available.</p><p>Imlach replied the only New York players he cared to get were Andy Bathgate or Dean Prentice, or both. Naturally, Patrick doesn&rsquo;t want to swap these standouts.</p><p>Besides, Harris played himself off the dispensable list again by scoring two goals against Detroit Red Wings Jan. 13.</p><p>These were masterpieces, the second breaking up a 3-3 tie, and drew a standing ovation from Maple Leaf Gardens. They were his ninth and 10th of the year, as strictly a utility workman.</p><p>Imlach would be a brave man, indeed, to let Harris go. He is clearly among Toronto&rsquo;s most popular players and spectators have been beseeching Imlach to use him more frequently. Every time he gets a regular assignment, he produces plentifully. For example, he took over at centre when Dave Keon was hurt last month and shot seven goals in five games. His performance against Red Wings on the 13th was even more spectacular.</p><p>Actually, a reason for Leafs&rsquo; power is the fact they have players like Harris on their bench. It&rsquo;s an old axiom that any club is only as strong as its reserves. Red Kelly and Eddie Shack were hurt and then Dick Duff was lost for a month with a broken bone in his left ankle. Leafs kept on winning.</p><p>Ron Stewart replaced Shack on right wing and Bob Pulford and Bert Olmstead. Litzenberger took over for Kelly at centre between Frank Mahovlich and Bob Nevin. Les Kozak was promoted from Rochester of the American league to play Duff&rsquo;s left-wing spot with Dave Keon and George Armstrong.</p><p>Harris got his chance when coach Imlach decided to bench Stewart, who couldn&rsquo;t get rolling. Litzenberger went to right wing on the Pulford-Olmstead line and Harris was spotted at centre with Mahovlich and Nevin.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s always nice to get a goal; especially nice to get one that means something,&rdquo; said Harris after shooting down the Red Wings.</p><p>Harris frequently has been mentioned as trade material. Once Leafs made a definite bid to deal him to Chicago Black Hawks in a swap involving Litzenberger. Rangers have made frequent pitches for him. Detroit has shown interest.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s something I just won&rsquo;t consider unless the situation comes up,&rdquo; says Harris. &ldquo;If it ever did. I&rsquo;d have to take a couple of days to think it over very seriously.&rdquo;</p><p>Harris has roots in Toronto. His family lives here and he attends the University of Toronto. He always has been a member of the Maple Leafs&rsquo; organization since</p><p>his early teens, when he was an office boy at the Gardens.</p><p>The fact is Leafs are in a position where it&rsquo;s difficult for them to make an advantageous deal. They have plenty of bodies but the kind of workman that would improve their lineup is not on the market. When they landed Litzenberger, they got the big man they figured they needed.</p><p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s skating much better than he did when he first came here,&rdquo; Imlach said after Litz, Mahovlich and Nevin produced 21 points in three games, &ldquo;I think he&rsquo;s still 30 per cent below his potential. If he can make that up, and play the way I think he can, we&rsquo;ll be home free.&rdquo;</p><p>Imlach&rsquo;s plans went somewhat awry earlier the same week. Leafs took over first place from Montreal Canadiens by outlasting Boston Bruins, 7-5. The next night, however, Leafs visited Motreal and promptly dropped back to second place again. They still had an important game in hand, though, and owned a 13-point lead over third-place Chicago.</p><p><b>NOTES:</b>&mdash;Stafford Smythe, new president of Maple Leafs, Gardens, says 1.000 new seats will be installed before the 1962-63 season, increasing the building&rsquo;s hockey capacity to more than 16,000&hellip;Les Kozak, a 1960 St. Michael&rsquo;s college graduate who spent a year in college, scored a goal in his first NHL game&hellip;Johnny Bower, slumping slightly, lost his Vezina Trophy lead to Jacques Plante and. when this was written, had fallen six goals off the pace, with an extra game to play&hellip;Carl Brewer played one of the best games of his career Jan. 13, and set up three goals&hellip;Brewer, Red Kelly and Frank Mahovlich were on the NHL&rsquo;s half-season all-stars.

‘For Sale’ Tag Ripped Off Of Harris’ Sweater

<div class="byline">By FRANK SELKE JR.</div><p><b>(In The Montreal Forum Programme)</b></p><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Minor Hockey Week is back again, the one week in 52 in which official recognition is given to the aims and objectives of organized minor hockey. M.H.W. has grown tremendously in the space of a few short years reaching into almost every village and hamlet from coast to coast, playing an important role in making our citizens aware of what can be accomplished with a highly organized wholesome athletic programme.</p><p>The C.A.H.A. sponsors M.H.W. and initially the idea of such a Week was conceived to help promote interest in kid hockey. This is still one of the major aims of the movement, but we suspect it is no longer the main reason for this annual seven days observance.</p><p>What was originally just an idea to put more people into more rinks across the country has developed into something of a national fitness programme. The C.A.H.A. men are now aware that through M.H.W. they can do a lot more than just promote the Game. Accordingly they now stress the importance of healthy athletic competition as a builder of sound bodies and minds, as a help in developing character, respect for authority and acceptance of discipline.</p><p>In short, it has become the beginning of a national awareness of the need for organized sport as the sound foundation for a healthy and vigorous society, a programme long overdue in Canada.</p><p>If one can criticize M.H.W. it can only be on one point&mdash;it doesn&rsquo;t last long enough.</p><p>This could be where our new National Council on Fitness steps in. Taking M.H.W. as a guide the new Federal body should strive to promote a similar event, on a national scale, for every major sport in Canada. M.H.W. could stand the competition of a Minor Football Week, Minor Track Week, in fact any Week the Council would care to organize and promote. Not only would M.H.W. not suffer as a resulst of such competition. it would undoubtedly oftain greater results as the years roll by.</p><p>I have no idea what the C.A.H.A. spends in connection with M.H.W. but it would not be any great amount. The Federal Council, with 5 million dollars at its disposal, could do an even bigger job than the C.A.H.A. on a year round basis without dipping much below the surface of that rather impressive bankroll.</p><p>If we as a Nation are concerned with the low standard of our amateur athletes, with the poor physical condition of our people, and if we want to do something about both, programmes such as Minor Hockey Week can play an important role in realizing these goals.</p><p>Mind you, a well developed national sports programme is not the only thing we need. But it would be a start and the success enjoyed by Minor Hockey Week is positive proof that such a programme could be established and would flourish. Those of us in hockey are justifiably proud that the Game has led the way, pointed out the direction to be taken, shown what can be done by dedicated people. Now we can only hope the National Council will follow the leader.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

McKenney Stands Ont Among Hub Greats

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>Terry Gray didn&rsquo;t have time to make a picture pass from the corner to the left of the Detroit Red Wings&rsquo; net, for he was being harassed by a Detroit forward.</p><p>Gray was able to bounce the puck toward the area in front of the net, however, where Don McKenney had taken a position for his pass-out.</p><p>McKenney also had an encumberance. Wrapped around the slim Bruins&rsquo; forward was a Detroit defenseman. Seemingly the Bruin was checked.</p><p>But McKenney is not an easy player to check, as National Hockey League opponents have been finding for years. As Gray&rsquo;s pass neared him he swung his body in a half-spin, screening off the Detroit defenseman.</p><p>Then he came out of the spin by golfing at the puck, which sped by an astounded Hank Bassen, standing 20 feet away in the Detroit net.</p><p>A lucky goal? For some players, perhaps. But not for McKenney, a master scorer.</p><p>&ldquo;The opportunity was there and he made the most of it,&rdquo; said Jerry Toppazzini, McKenney&rsquo;s longtime teammate. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s why he&rsquo;s the scorer he is, because he gets goals like those besides the ones he gets on his clean chances.&rdquo;</p><p>Lynn Patries, Bruins&rsquo; manager, thinks McKenney has one of the highest ratios of goals per opportunity of any player he has ever seen.</p><p>&ldquo;Don doesn&rsquo;t get the scoring chances most of the leading scorers get,&rdquo; opined Patrick, &ldquo;but when he gets them he&rsquo;s a master. I rate him as good as anyone in the game around the net. He has all the shots and all the instincts.&rdquo;</p><p>It is the combination of skill and ability which has made McKenney, a 27-year-old resident of Braintree, Massachusetts, the most consistent scorer in Bruins&rsquo; history.</p><p>Slippery Don is in his eighth season as a Bruins&rsquo; regular. This is his seventh season as a 20-goal scorer. In attaining that accepted degree of scoring proficiency so often he has no equal in the Bruins&rsquo; 38 years of business.</p><p>The old Bruins&rsquo; record for 20-goal seasons was five, set by Marty Barry, a center of three decades ago. McKenney broke that record last season when he scored 26 goals for a last-place team. He may score more this season.</p><p>Don&rsquo;s goals high so far has been 32 goals, during the 1957-58 season. His points high is 69, reached two years ago when he led the NHL in assists with 49.</p><p>His goals low was 10 for the 1955-56 season, part of which the Bruins spent in a vain search for a left wing capable of playing effectively with McKenney and his right wing, Leo LaBine. They finally found the right man in Real Chevrefils, whose trading to Detroit had created the void in the first place.</p><p>Since then McKenney has played with countless wings&mdash;and been a wing himself&mdash;as the Bruins&rsquo; fortunes have fluctuated.</p><p>&ldquo;I play with anyone and play whatever forward position they want me to play,&rdquo; said the philosophical Bruins&rsquo; captain. &ldquo;If one of the changes results in a line that clicks for us, good.&rdquo;</p><p>McKenney began this season as a center, his nominal position. But he has played both left and right wing on regular line turns. Patrick does not think the moves affect his fastest forward to any extent.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a matter of style,&rdquo; said Patrick. &ldquo;Don is not the playmaking type passer. Center gives him more room to use his speed, that&rsquo;s all. Frequently he makes his best moves from the wing, anyway. And when he gets a scoring opportunity it doesn&rsquo;t make any difference where he&rsquo;s playing. He moves.&rdquo;</p><p>Dapper Don&rsquo;s repertoire of scoring shots is one he brought with him as a teenager back in 1953, as far as he can remember. He even had his backhander, one of the League&rsquo;s best shots, as a rookie.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve had that since I was a little fellow,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;and my other shots, too, as nearly as I can recall. Oh, I&rsquo;ve learned how to use them better through experience, perhaps, but the shots are the same.&rdquo;</p><p>McKenney&rsquo;s consistency extends beyond his scoring to his attendance record. The trim 180-pounder has missed only nine games, several of them by coaching directive for purposes of resting, since coming into the League.</p><p>Don&rsquo;s record for hitting the 20-goal mark is the real testimonial to his scoring ability, though. He&rsquo;s hitting it for the sixth straight time this winter.</p><p>How many other major league players can match that for consistency? Jean Beliveau and Dick Moore of Montreal, Gordie Howe of Detroit, Andy Bathgate of New York&mdash;that&rsquo;s about it. And that&rsquo;s not many, so he&rsquo;s one of a select few. And in Bruins&rsquo; circles he&rsquo;s unique.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Don Heading For His 6th 20 Goal Year

<p class="dropcap"><span>B</span>OSTON, Mass.&mdash;If Boston&rsquo;s Don McKenney continues his past scoring pace in the NHL he will become the first member of the Boston Bruins to join the select 200 goal club since Milt Schmidt. In his previous seven seasons in the Hub Don scored 159 goals. His average is about 23 per season. So at about the three quarter mark of the 1962-63 season McKenney should take his place among the National Hockey League greats who have scored 200 or more goals in NHL play.</p><p>Other players who wore a Boston uniform, at one time or another and closed out their careers with more then 200 goals are Nels Stewart (324), Cy Denneny (246), Milt Schmidt (229), Dit Clapper (228), Roy Conacher (226), Woody Dumart (211), Herbie Cain (202) and Hooley Smith (200).<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

McKenney Will Hit 200 Club During The 1962-63 Season

<p class="dropcap"><span>B</span>OSTON, Mass.&mdash;Despite the fact that Don McKenney had one of his best seasons in goal scoring in 1960-61, he nevertheless had one of his worst pointwise. It was the first time in five seasons he dropped below the 50 mark in total points in one year. He scored 26 goals&mdash;his third best year&mdash;but only assisted on 23 others for a total of 49 points.</p><p>This season he will once again move into the 50 points circle. Shortly after the half way mark he had 38 points on 17 goals and 21 assists.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

The lyric would be rearranged to fit a peculiar situation:</p><p>&ldquo;Oh Punch, the Peddler, Parlez Vous; Oh Punch, the Peddler, Parlez Vous; Oh Punch, the Peddler, lend your ears; You can&rsquo;t trade Hinky in 20 years; Hinky, Dinky, Parlez Vous.&rdquo;</p><p>Make that 40 years. The calendar will be well into the next century before the goal which expendable Hinky Harris shot Saturday night at the Gardens is forgotten. He actually fired two but only one will be remembered. That was the one which left the Red Wings stone dead in the cockpit&mdash;after they had been in front by three goals and threatened to run the Leafs right off their skate rivets.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-08122/1774337-1-eng-US/f0004-082.jpg" title="f0004-08" width="537" height="840"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Billy (Hinky) Harris</b></figcaption></div><p>Hinky, who weighs three ounces more than a pair of wet socks (60 per cent wool and 40 per cent nylon) is the Leaf who has been listed on the stock exchange in all the big league shinny centres. His sin is that he can&rsquo;t do anything but score goals. Caruso couldn&rsquo;t do anything but sing, either.</p><p>Mr. Punch Imlach, who skippers the Leafs&mdash;and does a bang-up job of it&mdash;has Hinky pegged as a defensive liability. And don&rsquo;t regard this as an Imlach idiosyncrasy. Other Leaf coaches have felt the same way about the Wraith of the Bench Wretches. At one time, Toronto tried to trade him and an unidentified fringe player to the Black Hawks for big Ed Litzenberger.</p><p>Now, they&rsquo;re glad the Hawks didn&rsquo;t accept. Leafs finally got big Litz without giving up anything except $20,000. And they don&rsquo;t have Hinky coming here with the Hawks to kill them&mdash;as he most certainly would&mdash;just as he destroyed the Detroits. The way he&rsquo;s going at the moment, there is only one sure way of stopping him. He has to be shot down with a scattergun. That&rsquo;s one of the few defensive manoeuvres they don&rsquo;t permit in big league hockey.</p><p>At least a million folks don&rsquo;t have to be told how Hinky deked the Detroits out of their underwear for the big goal. They saw it at the Gardens or on their television screens. For those who didn&rsquo;t get a look. Hinky took a pass from free-wheeling Carl Brwer, shook off three Red Wings, including all-star defenceman Marcel Pronovost, and flipped the coin right into the cash register.</p><h2><i>No Person Thought To Lie Down</i></h2><p>The best measure of this masterpiece was that the Red Wings applauded from the depths of their misery. Coach Sid Abel murmured: &ldquo;You never will see a nicer goal. He deked a forward; he deked a defenceman; he deked Terry (Sawchuk). I wish somebody had just thought to lie down in front of him.&rdquo;</p><p>Pronovost nominated himself for the goat horns with suction cup attachments. The puck had ticked his stick, he recalled, as Hinky zigged. That&rsquo;s where Marcel figured he made his big error. He had his mind on the puck. It went back to Harris&mdash;and Hinky went past him like a scooter in downtown traffic.</p><p>&ldquo;He did something I didn&rsquo;t think he could do,&rdquo; Sawchuk, who sits next to Pronovost in the visitors&rsquo; dressing room, added. &ldquo;He came in so close that I was sure he couldn&rsquo;t lift the puck over me. It cleared my pad by inches.&rdquo;</p><p>The people who appreciate Harris most, it develops, are defencemen. Carl Brewer, of whom Gordie Howe supposedly said: &ldquo;It takes most players years to pick up all the nasty tricks, but Brewer learned them all on one season,&rdquo; revealed he never has discovered how to stop Hinky.</p><p>&ldquo;When I see him coming in practice, I start backing up,&rdquo; Brewer confessed. &ldquo;If you try to anticipate this guy&rsquo;s moves, he makes a fool out of you. Almost anybody else you can lock up&mdash;not always, but your chances are good. The odds are all against you when you&rsquo;re up against Harris.&rdquo;</p><p>Another Leaf rearguard with a pretty good record for wrapping up incoming forwards until they look like bundles for the women&rsquo;s auxiliary bazaar is Bobby Baun, who testified without solicitation: &ldquo;I&rsquo;d hate to play against Hinky. I don&rsquo;t like to think of myself as the last man back when he&rsquo;s the puck-carrier. I can&rsquo;t imagine any-thing worse than playing against Hinky and Dave Keon.&rdquo;</p><p>It&rsquo;s quite likely he will not have to play against Harris. Punch Imlach, who wanted something like Andy Bathgate in exchange for Hinky, probably has raised the ante to include Dean Prentice.</p><p>But just in case Hinky remains listed on the exchange, how about a few bars of Hinky, Dinky from the horns up there in the melody lift, bandmaster?<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Your Kind Of Player

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>When the New York Rangers underwent a shakeup early this month, Goalkeeper Gump Worsley issued a statement.</p><p>Said Worsley, &ldquo;This is the first shakeup we&rsquo;ve had since I&rsquo;ve been with the Rangers that hasn&rsquo;t involved the goalkeeper.&rdquo;</p><p>Since the Bruins are in the process of organizing a team, the work shakeup does not fit their periodic changes of personnel.</p><p>But the idea is the same, and the changes they have just made are in the conventional New York pattern. They included the goalkeeper.</p><p>The Bruins promoted Goalie Bruce Gamble from Portland of the Western League, Forward Larry Leach from Providence of the American League and Forward Tommy Williams from Kingston of the Eastern Professional League.</p><p>Detached on option from the Bruins were Goalie Don Head to Portland, Forward Bob Beckett to Providence and Forward Terry Gray to Kingston.</p><p>The sending out of Beckett and Gray was a surprise; the change of goalkeepers was not, since the goalie invariably pays the piper for a losing season.</p><p>A year ago Head was the best goalie and most colorful player in the Western League as he led Portland to the championship, so the Bruins acquired him.</p><p>Now they&rsquo;ve replaced him with the goalkeeper who, two years ago, led the Western League in shutouts. And who owned the best goalkeeping record in the WL when Head and Gamble swapped jobs? Why Gamble, of course.</p><p>The Bruins brought in Gamble to see if he can improve their goals-against record.</p><p>They brought up Leach with the knowledge that he&rsquo;ll play well defensively as a left wing, although he was playing center with Providence.</p><p>They can take a first-hand look at Williams, first product of United States hockey to play regularly here since Frank Brimsek, and decide on his future. He is believed to be completing the second year of a two-year contract.</p><p>When he announced the moving of the six players, Lynn Patrick made no extravagant claims for the three additions.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m hoping Williams is ready for the NHL,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s still a youngster, as far as hockey is concerned. Leach will do a good job on defense and Gamble could be improved.&rdquo;</p><p>Leach is 25, Gamble 23, Williams 21. Williams is a resident of Duluth, Minnesota, and signed with the Bruins after helping the United States team win the Olympic Games hockey championship in 1960.</p><p>Gray scored seven goals in the first six weeks of the season but he spent his last games here as a spare forward. The lively right wing shaped up as a potential 25-goal scorer if given a playmakertype linemate like Cliff Pennington or Johnny Bucyk, with neither of whom he played here.</p><p>Beckett, according to one NHL official, was &ldquo;the only Brums&rsquo; forward who scared anyone on the other team.&rdquo; Bib Bob also might have showed to better advantage with different playing company, although he threw some good checks and played presentably.</p><p>Head, 28, was one of the most colorful goalies the Bruins have had, especially early in the season when he drew major penalties for fighting twice. Less than a week before his dismissal Head sailed out of his net to pull Chicago&rsquo;s Bob Hull off young Ted Green, who was trying to fight Hull with George Hayes, 240-pound linesman, wrapped around his neck and Hull hampered only by 140-pound Linesman Ron Wicks For his intrusion Head was fined $50 automatically.</p><p>Twice before this season Head was given brief vacations of two games, with Easy Ed Chadwick coming in from Kingston as a replacement.</p><p>Gamble became the 33rd player to tend goal for the Bruins when they installed him as Don Simmons&rsquo; successor a year ago. That makes Head No. 34 and Chadwick No. 35.</p><p>Since the retirement of Sugar Jim Henry as a full-time goalie in 1954, the Bruins have had 13 different players in their nets for varying lengths of time.</p><h2>In The Hub Of Things</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03253/1774451-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg" title="f0005-03" width="523" height="511"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Tommy Williams</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-04187/1774444-1-eng-US/f0005-042.jpg" title="f0005-04" width="581" height="540"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Larry Leach</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-05127/1774437-1-eng-US/f0005-052.jpg" title="f0005-05" width="528" height="500"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Bruce Gamble</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Bruins Give Up On Head, Gray And Burly Beckett

Gump Worsley blocked Stasiuk&rsquo;s shot but Ullman was at the corner to poke it past Gump.</p><p>Ullman also has a showman&rsquo;s sense in these last minute heroics&mdash;all three have been at Olympia before the home folks.</p><p>The first one came in November with the score tied, 1-1. Ullman put in the winner with 54 seconds left to play.</p><p>The next one was in December with Johnny Bower in the Toronto nets. It also was Ullman&rsquo;s best night of the season&mdash;he scored all three goals in the Wings&rsquo; 3-1 triumph.</p><p>Ullman provided a 1-0 lead with a first period powerplay goal that Billy Harris wiped out in the third period.</p><p>But Ullman scored the winner 74 seconds before time ran out and when the Leafs pulled Bower for a sixth forward, Howe fed Ullman the pass that resulted in the clinching goal 12 seconds before the buzzer.</p><p>Ullman&rsquo;s goal against the Rangers gave the Wings only their third victory in a dozen starts but it was a big one.</p><p>After two dull, scoreless periods, Dean Prentice turned in Andy Bathgate&rsquo;s sharp pass from the corner to put the New Yorkers ahead, 1-0.</p><p>It appeared that the Wings would fall to Worsley&rsquo;s goaltending and drop five points behind the fourth place Rangers in the continuing struggle for the playoffs.</p><p>But Claude LaForge tied it at 13:17 on a set-up from Ullman and then Ullman clicked with the winner, his 14th goal of the season and the Wings were only one point behind New York with a game in hand.</p><p>One night earlier, the Wings concentrated their scoring at the other end of the game&mdash;the first period&mdash;and blew a 3-0 lead to lose, 4-3, in Toronto.</p><p>Bruce MacGregor, Alex Delvecchio and Len Lunde scored the goals in a 72 second span.</p><p>MacGregor scored on one of those &ldquo;impossible&rdquo; angle shots that dribbled through Bower&rsquo;s pads.</p><p>Delvecchio broke up a Leaf shot in Detroit ice and broke down left wing with Howe zipping down the middle and one man back. Delvecchio took the shot and was rewarded with his 200th National League goal.</p><p>It took Alex 10&frac12; seasons to accomplish it and he became only the 35th player in NHL history to score 200 goals.</p><p>Lunde followed that with his first goal since being recalled from Edmonton. It came as a result of persistent work by Lunde who won a faceoff in Leaf territory, went back to get the puck, skirted one man and fired and then went in to bag his own rebound.</p><p>But the Leafs refused to fold and just kept chipping away. Bob Pulford scored in the first period and Billy Harris scored in the middle session.</p><p>Rookie Les Kozak scored early in the third period to tie it and Harris scored at 18:18 to win the game.</p><p>&ldquo;It was a beautiful goal even though it hurt,&rdquo; said Abel in grudging admiration. &ldquo;I had my best players on the ice and he went through every one of them.</p><p>&ldquo;We just couldn&rsquo;t take the puck away from him all night. It&rsquo;s strange the way this game goes. Harris has never been what you&rsquo;d call a real goal scorer but it appears he can&rsquo;t do anything wrong.</p><p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s scored 10 goals and yet he&rsquo;s been sitting on the bench most of the season.&rdquo;</p><p>Abel also had good words for Leaf defenseman Carl Brewer who played a strong game and assisted on three of the Leaf goals including the pair by Harris.</p><p>Brewer laid a beautiful soft pass through the Wing defense in the middle period for Harris&rsquo; first goal and the slippery center went around the outside, behind the Wing defense and went in to beat Terry Sawchuk.</p><p>The Leaf game resulted in the Wings&rsquo; first serious injury of the season. Right wing Howie Glover hurt his knee while twisting around a Leaf defenseman in the corner.</p><p>&ldquo;The doctor in Toronto said the ligaments were torn and the knee seemed real sugary,&rdquo; Abel said.</p><p>First indications were that Glover would be out two to three weeks.</p><p>The next prediction said 10 days.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll believe it when I see him back,&rdquo; Abel said.</p><p>Although Glover has but seven goals, he is the fifth highest goal scorer on the club, pointing up the Wings&rsquo; lack of depth after Howe. Ullman, Delvechio and Vic Stasiuk.</p><h2>Perfect Timing</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-02306/1774513-1-eng-US/f0006-022.jpg" title="f0006-02" width="519" height="832"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Norm Ullman</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Now Gard Has Played More Games Than Any

<div class="byline">By HARRY MOLTER</div><p>CHICAGO, Ill&mdash;</p><p>Black Hawk fans and management were &ldquo;delighted&rdquo; over the selection of defenseman Jack Evans to the National Hockey League second All-Star team at the halfway point in the season.</p><p>&ldquo;A deserving reward for a man who has worked hard and long in this League and made a real contribution to our effort this season,&rdquo; said Coach Rudy Pilous.</p><p>Evans has been in and out of the NHL since he played three games for the New York Rangers back in the 1948-49 season. For a time it looked as if he would settle for a minor league career when he was returned to Saskatoon in the Western League in 1952 and 1953. But the Rangers called him up again and, after a few more back-and-forth trips, he stayed in the NHL from 1955 on.</p><p>Evans played three full 70-game seasons with Rangers before falling in disfavor with some of the fans and being drafted by the Black Hawks prior to the start of the 1958-59 season. Here he missed only three games over the next three years.</p><p>Always a good puck carrier but never much of a scorer, Evans has totaled 18 NHL goals in over 650 games. He scored only one in his first three seasons with Chicago (none over the last two years) until the final Stanley Cup playoff game in Detroit last spring. He added two more in the first few games this year in a real scoring outburst which nearly brought the Chicago Stadium house down.</p><p>Evans has been the steadiest Black Hawk player this year in a season in which the Stanley Cup champions had more than their share of difficulties getting untracked.</p><p>Not a flashy type or one to go looking for trouble, Evans is a rough, rugged checker who makes few mistakes in clearing the puck or covering his defensive zone. He is a solid hockey player who, despite his 33 years, is playing with the conditioning and stamina of a man 10 years younger.</p><p>&ldquo;My statistics say I should be tired but my legs don&rsquo;t know it,&rdquo; grins the 6 ft. 1 in., 185 pound Evans, known by his teammates as &ldquo;Tex.&rdquo;</p><p>Did he have any idea he might be selected on the All-Star team this year? Evans was asked.</p><p>&ldquo;None. It&rsquo;s a complete surprise to me but a happy one, of course,&rdquo; says Evans. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure I never came close before. When you wait so long for something like this you appreciate it twice as much.&rdquo;</p><p><b>NOTES:</b> Bobby Turner, penalty killing specialist, has been pressed into action as a defenseman in recent Black Hawks games in place of veteran Dolly St. Laurent, who has been on the ice for too many opposing goals&hellip;Turner also fills in at left wing on occasion for Ron Murphy&hellip;Chico Maki has been called up from Buffalo for several games to fill in for right wing Murray Balfour, who has a skate cut on his ankle&hellip;The cut, in a harmless fall in Detroit, was made by the skate of Bill Gadsby and came within an inch of severing Balfour&rsquo;s achilles tendon&hellip;Maki is getting a good dose of front line fire on the Million Dollar line with center Bill Hay and left wing Bobby Hull&hellip;Hull scored goals No. 19 and 20 of the current season in the Jan. 17 game here against Montreal&hellip;The game also saw two fights&mdash;the main bout, a draw, between big defensemen Moose Vasko of Chicago and Lou Fontin-ato of Canadiens.

Chi Happy Over Evans’ All-Star Rating At Half

<div class="byline">By PAT CURRAN</div><p>MONTREAL, Que&mdash;</p><p>When Lou Fontinato gets into a fight it&rsquo;s no surprise. Thus, when the big Montreal defenceman tangled with bigger Elmer (Moose) Vasko at Chicago Stadium last week, it was just routine in Leapin-Louie&rsquo;s rugged style of play through eight seasons in the National Hockey League.</p><p>When Gilles Tremblay starts throwing punches it&rsquo;s a different matter. So when the five-ten, 170-pound winger took on Eric Nesterenko, the Hawks&rsquo; six-foot-two forward in a co-feature to the Fontinato-Vasko bout, Tremblay seemed out of character.</p><p>Nevertheless &ldquo;Gilly&rdquo;&mdash;as he&rsquo;s known in American rinks&mdash;earned respect as a lad who can take care of himself. He got the best of Nesterenko with a few well-aimed left hooks before they were separated. It was young Tremblay&rsquo;s first fight in the NHL since he came up to Canadiens part-way through the 1960-61 schedule.</p><p>Coach Toe Blake, pleasantly surprised with Tremblay&rsquo;s play since the start of the current schedule, took the scrap as added evidence that the free-skating left-winger is in the big-time to stay.</p><p>Just the other day, Blake was talking about the sophomore jinx that has finished so many promising players down through the years.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-03214/1774551-1-eng-US/f0006-032.jpg" title="f0006-03" width="562" height="1278"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gilles Tremblay</b></figcaption></div><p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s a lot of truth in that second-year jinx,&rdquo; said the Habs&rsquo; coach. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know why it happens but it does where a young fellow looks good as a rookie but can&rsquo;t seem to get going the next season. If he gets through the second year he usually stays around for quite a while.&rdquo;</p><p>Blake feels that Tremblay, with a record of 16 goals and 14 assists through 43 games this season, is destined to become a bright star on the big-time hockey scene.</p><p>&ldquo;If I had to pick the steadiest forward with Canadiens so far this season, I&rsquo;d have to choose Gilles Tremblay,&rdquo; said Blake following the Habs&rsquo; four straight victories over Toronto, Boston twice and Chicago.</p><p>Tremblay connected for two goals and two assists in the four games and was one of the outstanding checkers on the ice. At Chicago, where the Habs spoiled Goalie Glenn Hall&rsquo;s 500th straight game by beating the Hawks 7-3, Gilles skated like a rocket going both ways.</p><p>Referee Eddie Powers couldn&rsquo;t help but notice the plucky winger&rsquo;s speed, especially when he came back from centre ice to steal the puck from Hawk rookie Chico Maki and moved the attack to the other end.</p><p>&ldquo;I no sooner saw Tremblay coming back before he was blazing ahead at his own blueline,&rdquo; remained Powers in admiration after the game.&rdquo; He sure can skate.&rdquo;</p><p>Tremblay was one of the most disappointing players in training camp at Victoria and a difficult left-wing problem had him rumored for the minors before the season got underway.</p><p>&ldquo;I was really worried,&rdquo; said Blake. &ldquo;At training camp, Gilles was having trouble skating and nothing was going for him.&rdquo;</p><p>Tremblay would just as soon forget his training camp lethargy.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always been slow getting into form,&rdquo; says Gilles. &ldquo;But training this year was disastrous. I had a sore groin and couldn&rsquo;t skate and I was worried that I wasn&rsquo;t going to make it.&rdquo;</p><p>Tremblay snapped out of it shortly after the season got underway and has been getting better each game ever since.</p><p>The 24-year-old winger had always been a hot scorer in amateur and minor pro ranks, netting 32 goals and 51 assists four years ago in the Eastern Pro League with Hull-Ottawa Canadiens.</p><p>With the Habs this season, Gilles has established himself as a worker both in the forechecking department and as a penalty-killer. He rates with Floyd Curry in this department but, because of his finesse around the goal, Tremblay will probably do a lot more scoring than the Busher.</p><p>Blake is so high on Tremblay that he has at times used him on two forward lines. Against Boston last week, Gilles skated with Jean Beliveau and Bobby Rousseau and on the portside with Phil Goyette and Bill Hicke.</p><p>Tremblay&rsquo;s fine checking was one of the reasons for the coach to be well pleased with Canadiens&rsquo; defensive play in the weekend rematch at Boston and in their onesided victory against Chicago.</p><p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;re finally playing well defensively,&rdquo; remarked Blake. For the first time in two weeks my players have come up with some good forechecking and backtracking.&rsquo;They&rsquo;ll be alright as long as they keep controlling the play after the first period.&rdquo;</p><p>Although the Habs beat Boston 5-3 in the start of the home-and-home series at the Forum, Blake was raving mad about their defensive play.</p><p>&ldquo;Their exhibition of checking in that game was pitiful,&rdquo; said Toe. &ldquo;We managed to win only because Jacques Plante came up with another great goaltending performance.&rdquo;</p><p>In their last two games, Blake used every one of his players on four lines and five defenceman and was satisfied with the Habs&rsquo; fine team efforts.</p><p>Al MacNeil, who hadn&rsquo;t been getting much ice-time in previous games, played several shifts on defence and his timely hitting had a hand in the Montreal victories.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

N.Y&mdash;</p><p>For a club which has made only one personnel change all season, the Rochester Americans certainly have used a lot of different hockey players.</p><p>Confusing? The explanation is simple. Coach Johnny Crawford still has the same 16 players with which he started the season&mdash;itself unusual in the American Hockey League, but not since Oct. 26 has he been able to put his entire squad on the ice together.</p><p>Assorted reasons kept at least one Amerk out of the lineup for all seven of the team&rsquo;s 41 games through Jan. 19.</p><p>The total number of games missed by Amerk players was 71 at the time this was written. That meant Crawford was minus an average of 1&frac34; regulars per game for the entire schedule.</p><h2><b>Gary Jarrett</b></h2><p>Despite all of this, Rochester still was clinging to first place at this writing. And much of the credit for that must go to juniors Gary Jarrett, Brian Conacher, Arnie Brown, Dune MacDonald and Dave Dryden and young Jerry Cheevers&mdash;all of whom performed exceptionally well in emergency roles. The only change from the original roster was the addition on Jan. 5 of defenseman Larry Hillman from Toronto.</p><p>Six Amerks were in uniform for all of the first 41 games. The &ldquo;iron men&rdquo; were Bill Dineen, Bruce Draper, Gerry Ehman, Darryl Sly, Dick Gamble and Jim Pappin.</p><p>Stan Smrke, All-Star left winger when he scored 40 goals for Rochester two seasons ago but missed all but 21 games last year because of injuries, already has been out of the lineup for 28 games this season. Stan missed one with knee ligament trouble and 27 with a broken right ankle. He rejoined the club in AHL competition Jan. 12.</p><p>Wally Boyer missed two games because of the death of his father; Roger Cote was out for five with <i>a</i> bleeding ulcer and missed two others with injured shoulder muscles that threaten to keep him on the bench even longer; Mike Donaldson missed 10 with a leg injury and one with an infected forehead; Alex Faulkner was sidelined for five games with a broken nose; Larry Keenan has missed the last seven because of a fractured cheekbone that probably will keep him out another month: Les Kozak missed two when he was recalled by Toronto; Steve Kraftcheck was sidelined for two with a bruised shoulder; Bill White missed one with the flu and three with a broken toe, and goalie Don Simmons missed four while with Toronto and two-thirds of another one with an injured hand.</p><p>Not included are the many games which injured players did play simply because the team was so short-handed that they felt they had to play.</p><p><b>ICICLES</b>&mdash;Kraftcheck, who set the all-time AHL assist record for defensemen with his 338th on Dec. 27 in Buffalo, became the all-time point getter for AHL defensemen Jan. 12 here when two assists upped his total points to 405. Frank Mathers, now Hershey coach, held both records&hellip;Gerry Ehman&rsquo;s wife gave birth to a nine-pound boy here Saturday, Jan. 13, while her husband was playing in Spring-field.

President Ivan Temple who stated flatly the Okanagan all-stars would not be permitted to compete for the British Columbia senior &lsquo;A&rsquo; title. The Victoria, B.C. based prexy based his decision on the grounds that Odie Lowe had completely ignored all correspondence sent to him by the B.C.A.H.A.</p><p>In a telephone interview with this reporter, Jim Anderson, secty-treas. of the B.C.A.H.A. said both he and Temple had written Lowe on December 7th pointing out it was necessary to submit a tentative roster of Okanagan all-stars. Lowe&rsquo;s reply was to be in the hands of the B.C.A.H.A. not later than December 17th, the date on which the B.C.A.H.A. was told to hold a mid-season officers meeting at Penticton.

News From Around The Lakehead Area

<div class="byline">By JIMMY JORDAN</div><p>PITTSBURGH, Pa&mdash;</p><p>One of these days, Larry Regan opines, the Pittsburgh Hornets will start winning their American Hockey League shinny matches.</p><p>Regan, the 31-year-old former Bruin and Maple Leaf is in his first season as a coach. He&rsquo;s eternally optimistic, and with reason.</p><p>Larry hasn&rsquo;t had his entire Hornet squad together for a single game this season. He&rsquo;s had as many as seven players sidelined at one time with injuries of varying degrees of seriousness. He&rsquo;s used four goalies.</p><p>Still, the Hornets manage a victory now and then despite these added handicaps to a club making its start in the league.</p><p>Take their last appearance in Hershey, for example. Regan and his men hadn&rsquo;t been able to beat Frank Mathers and Co., all season. When they dropped into Chocolatetown they were without the services of Goalie Gerry McNamara (pulled groin muscle), Center Cecil Hoekstra (shoulder separation) Wing Bo Elik (elbow infection), Wing Gene Ubriaco (concussion which hospitalized him more than a week), Defenseman Andre Tardif (elbow injury) and Wing Ray Ross (hip injury).</p><p>Still, they managed to mount an offense which shelled Rookie Dennis Jordan for nine goals, 32 shots, and a 9-5 victory.</p><p>The next night, in Rochester, they were short another wing&mdash;John MacMillan, recalled by the Maple Leafs in an emergency. The Americans took a 4-0 lead early in the second period, but the Hornets stormed back for three goals in two minutes and 43 seconds to get back into the game.</p><p>Then they ran out of gas. The Amerks won it, 6-3. Their two forward lines couldn&rsquo;t keep up with Rochester&rsquo;s three for three periods.</p><p>That&rsquo;s been the Hornet story all season. That&rsquo;s why Regan continues to be optimistic.</p><p>&ldquo;When these fellows get ready to play again then we&rsquo;ll go.&rdquo;</p><p>But when &ldquo;these fellows&rdquo; get ready, somebody else jumps aboard the shuttle to the hospital.</p><p>While injuries have been a big factor in keeping the Hornets in the Western Division cellar, there&rsquo;s been another reason, too.</p><p>The defense has left a lot to be desired most of the time.</p><p>Nobody has kept an accurate count, but at least half of the goals scored against the Hornets this season have come when they failed to clear the puck out of the defensive zone.</p><p>Time and again one of the four goalies who have seen service would make a save, only to have an opposing forward steal the puck from a defender and turn that little mistake into, a goal.</p><p>But in recent games there has been some improvement in the back court, primarily because the team has been getting its share of time on the ice of the new Civic Auditorium here&mdash;the only hockey rink within 75 miles of Pittsburgh.</p><p>Before the Hershey splurge, Regan had his able-bodied players on the ice every morning for a solid week, and then took some of them back in the afternoons for a bit of special tutelage.</p><p>As he says: &ldquo;One of these days&hellip;&rdquo;</p><p>Manager Baz Bastien has been trying to find a player or two to shore up the defense, but defensemen just aren&rsquo;t available. At least, not defensemen of AHL caliber.</p><h2>Has Troubles</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-01407/1775101-1-eng-US/f0010-012.jpg" title="f0010-01" width="516" height="506"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Larry Regan</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

WESTERN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By DON FLEMING</div><p>PORTLAND, ORE.&mdash;</p><p>There is no valid substitute for class, and Phil Maloney proved just that with a spectacular performance in behalf of the north division&rsquo;s 7-3 victory over the south in the Western Hockey League&rsquo;s All-Star jousting in Portland&rsquo;s Glass Palace, otherwise the Memorial Coliseum.</p><p>One-time Montreal Maroon star forward who now makes his home in Portland, Jimmy Ward leaned in the direction of Calgary&rsquo;s high-scoring defenceman, Doug Barkley, for the annual award to the outstanding player of the annual classic.</p><p>He admitted, though, that it was pretty well a photo finish between Barkley and Vancouver&rsquo;s playing coach, Maloney. None among the 4,126 paying patrons was about to argue that Maloney should have been there or thereabouts.</p><p>Spared briefly from the troubled times his Canucks have come on, Maloney tackled his All-Star assignment with relish&hellip;and coach Bud Poile of the victorious north nodded with the I-told-you-so&rsquo;s by way of sub-stantiating the big pitch he made for the Vancouver veteran a couple of months back.</p><p>&ldquo;A lot of the fellows showed why they are pros,&rdquo; commented Poile, &ldquo;and Maloney was as great an example as any.</p><p>&ldquo;It was a nothing game as far as the league and next year&rsquo;s salaries are concerned, but the players had their pride and an obligation to the fans, and were not prepared to shirk it.&rdquo;</p><p>Maloney fired a couple of goals and just missed being the first player ever to fashion a hat trick in the five-year history of the Dream Game. He had a golden opportunity, coming in on the right side, but he sliced a shot a fraction of an inch wide of the near side of Bruce Gamble&rsquo;s cage.</p><p>They were big goals, both of them. In each instance, they shoved the northerners two out in front, and kept coach Hal Laycoe&rsquo;s gang off balance.</p><p>But these were only part of Maloney&rsquo;s contributions to a winning effort. He was scheduled to do the playmaking for a line that had Edmonton captain Chuck Holmes and Seattle&rsquo;s Ron Hutchinson on the wings, but a broken finger suffered by Calgary rearguard Fred Hucul left Poile with only three defencemen.</p><p>So Maloney was pressed into service regularly on the blueline. And the 34-year-old Ottawan took a turn on the powerplay and helped to kill off penalties.</p><p>Also, he responded with a magnificent defensive play to keep the North in control.</p><p>Last year&rsquo;s scoring champion, Art Jones of the Portland Buckaroos had several strides&rsquo; jump for a clear run to the other end of the arena. Yet Maloney summoned that little bit extra out of his aging underpinning to overhaul Jones and time a perfect stick check to knock the puck loose.</p><p>Accounting for the other goals for the winners were Guyle Fielder, Hutchinson, Ed Ehrenverth, Bill MacFarland and Barkley. The south&rsquo;s scorers were Gerry Goyer, Max Mekilok and Doug Macauley.</p><p>The attendance was somewhat disappointing. It was the smallest crowd since pro hockey returned to Portland a season and a half ago. However, along with the Buckaroos&rsquo; normal fare, Portland had three home games in four nights, and the Coliseum had an advance sale of 8,000 for a basketball game on the only off night against the Globe Trotters.</p><h2>Paces Northerners</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-1532/1775292-1-eng-US/f0011-152.jpg" title="f0011-15" width="516" height="559"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Phil Maloney</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

<div class="byline">By JACK GATECLIFF</div><p>ST. CATHARINES, ONT.&mdash;</p><p>Hamilton Red Wings and Mon treal Canadiens, who have dominated the OHA junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; league since the early weeks of the schedule, also dominated the mid-season all-star team as selected by the coaches of the six teams.</p><p>Those making the choices were Eddie Bush of Hamilton, Claude Ruel of Montreal, Ken Campbell of St. Catharines Teepees, Emile Francis of Guelph Royals, Hap Emms of Niagara Falls Flyers, Neil Burke of Peterborough Petes.</p><p>The six coaches were not allowed to vote for players on their own team.</p><p>From Hamilton the six-man panel named Ron Harris to a defence post, Pit Martin at centre and Lowell MacDonald on right wing.</p><p>Jacques Laperriere, towering Montreal defenceman partners Harris on the rearguard and Rejean Richer of the Canadiens was the left wing choice.</p><p>Rounding out the first team Roger Crozier of St. Catharines Teepees won the goaltending berth.</p><p>Crozier and Laperriere were the only two players to receive unanimous votes.</p><p>For the slimly-built St. Catharines goaltender it was the third straight year he has been nominated as an all-star.</p><p>The second team has Buddy Blom of Hamilton in goal; Larry Ziliotto also of Hamilton at one defence position while Bill Speer of St. Catharines and John Gravel of Montreal tied for the second defence position.</p><p>Phil Esposito of the Teepees is at centre, Claude Larose of Peterborough at right wing and Howie Dietrich of Niagara Falls Flyers at left wing.</p><p>The only major surprise was the omission of Andre Boudrias of Montreal Canadiens, the league&rsquo;s leading points scorer with 63 points on 24 goals, 39 assists.</p><p>Only Coach Neil Burke of Peterborough selected Boudrais ahead of Lowell MacDonald of Hamilton at right wing.</p><p>Pit Martin closed the gap on Boudrias in the scoring race last week, picking up three goals and two assists. He now has 62 points, one short of the Montreal forward.</p><p>MacDonald of Hamilton is third with 58 points on 28 goals, 30 assists followed by Richer of Montreal with 55 points, Norm Dennis of Montreal with 52 points, Phil Esposito and Ray Cullen of St. Catharines 48 points each, Borden Smith of Guelph and Jacques Laperriere of Montreal 44 points and Howie Dietrich of Niagara Falls 40 points.</p><p>George Holes of Montreal continues to lead the goaltenders With a goals against average of 3.08 followed by Buddy Blom of Hamilton 3.24.</p><h2>Makes 1st Team</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-01397/1775385-1-eng-US/f0012-012.jpg" title="f0012-01" width="528" height="675"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Lowell MacDonald</b></figcaption></div><h2>Hidden Gem</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-02318/1775378-1-eng-US/f0012-022.jpg" title="f0012-02" width="533" height="516"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Phil Bubar</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Habs, Wings Put Five On Junior OHA Dream Team

<div class="byline">By HUGH TOWNSEND</div><p>NEW GLASGOW, N.S.&mdash;</p><p>New Glasgow Rangers&rsquo; displeasure in the goaltending efforts of Art McIntyre in Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League play was common knowledge for several weeks but the club management failed in an attempt to land a more stable netminder.</p><p>McIntyre appeared to have the job locked up, mainly because a replacement could not be found. The former Montreal Junior Canadien goalie was sent to the sidelines, however, Jan. 5 with a leg infection.</p><p>An immediate call was made to Jack MacLean, recently dropped by Halifax Wolverines, but he was pounded in his initial appearance and Rangers appeared in trouble.</p><p>As a last resort the club gave the green light to sub-goalie Phil Bubar, a local youngster who premitted 28 tallies in three fill-in contests a season ago.</p><p>Within four days the Rangers discovered they had a prize sitting on their bench all the time. Bubar, playing four games in as many nights, turned in four successive starring roles as Rangers scored two victories, a tie and only one loss in a week that saw them facing the two top clubs in the circuit three times.</p><p>Bubar was particularly brilliant in wins over league leading Amherst Ramblers and last place Halifax Wolverines, who were closing in fast on the fourth place Rangers. In four games Bubar allowed only 13 goals for a 3.25 average and he had a fine .905 fielding average in rubber stopping.</p><p>McIntyre was ready to return to action Jan. 15 but the Rangers&rsquo; management anounced no change would be made in goaltending, that the job was Bubar&rsquo;s until such time that he loses it himself.</p><p>The rags to riches story was a bright one in the New Glasgow camp. Bubar spent three seasons riding benchville with the NSSHL club after years of stardom in high school and junior hockey ranks.</p><p>Meanwhile the Amherst Ramblers, losers of only six of their first 29 games, suddenly went into a tailspin that saw them lose three consecutive league games for the first time in two seasons.</p><p>The defeat skein started at New Glasgow when the Rangers crushed the runaway leaders 10-3. Two nights later, playing in the friendly confines of Amherst Stadium, the champs were edged 6-5 by last place Halifax. To keep the losing streak alive, Moncton Beavers handed Amherst a 5-3 beating, again at Amherst.</p><p>Although Ramblers appear headed for their third consecutive pennant, observers of the loop feel the club is at least 25 per cent weaker than the team that went to the Eastern Canada finals in Allan Cup play last year.</p><p>The weak spot in the Amherst livery appears to be in goal where Emery &ldquo;The Cat&rdquo; Cormier is trying to fill the big vacancy left by the departure of Jacques Monette. Understanding is that Ramblers are trying to land another netminder before the Jan. 25 deadline.</p><p>Normand Jacques was slated to join Ramblers but the Nova Scotia club was unsuccessful in landing him. Cormier replaced temperamental Charlie MacTavish in December.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Tailspins, Goalies Highlight Week In Nova Scotia

<div class="byline">By VINCE LEAH</div><p>WINNIPEG, Man.&mdash;</p><p>Anybody got a spare $7,000 they don&rsquo;t need?</p><p>Winnipeg&rsquo;s senior Maroons require that kind of cash to meet guarantees for the appearance of Galt Terriers, defending Allan cup champions, Feb. 18 on their way to Colorado Springs for the world tournament and the Czech national team, March 4.</p><p>Maroons have tough sledding these days with no league to play in. They have played a number of exhibitions and have won them all save one tie with Minneapolis of the International league and the players work out faithfully in preparation for the Allan Cup finals. They are especially anxious to meet Galt, inasmuch as the Terriers defeated Maroons in the Allan cup final last spring. Maroons figure with a break or two it might have gone the other way.</p><p>It is expected, though, that both games with the Terriers and Czechs will draw well in Winnipeg&rsquo;s 9,600-seat arena. Maroons played the Czechs last season on their tour of Czechoslovakia and there will be a lot of people who will be anxious to see the classy European side. People who know say they are the lads to watch in the world meet, ahead of the Swedes and Russians.</p><p>Maroons have hopes to acquiring the services of Gary Aidcorn, former National Leaguer who retired from pro hockey to go back to university. Aidcorn belongs to Springfield of the American League.</p><p>On the junior front, Brandon Wheat Kings have pulled well ahead of the pack although they still have trouble winning on Winnipeg ice. The Wheaties have signed Warren Fordyce, a husky, handsome lad from Dauphin who stayed briefly with Colorado College before electing to return home.</p><p>It&rsquo;s nice to see Monarchs in a resurgence of form. The Regals have moved into third place. They lost Terry Moore for two games when he was banned for allegedly injuring an opponent, Don Addison of Braves.</p><p>Eastern senior enthusiasts, especially around Owen Sound, will be saddened to hear Coach Bill Allum of the Braves was severely injured when he fell 30 feet through an in completed stair well while installing telephone equipment in a building under construction. A tough old campaigner in his hockey and lacrosse days, Bill is mending despite a fractured skull and other hurts. It is not likely he&rsquo;ll be back with Braves before this season ends. Braves are mired in the cellar, seven points away from a playoff spot. Manager Bill Addison is directing traffic with Allum hospitalized. Eastern folks who&rsquo;d like to write Bill can contact him at St. Boniface Hospital, Tache Ave., St. Boniface, Man.</p><h2>Maroon Bound</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-03248/1775440-1-eng-US/f0012-032.jpg" title="f0012-03" width="534" height="582"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gary Aidcorn</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

ATTENTION HOCKEY FANS!

<div class="byline">By RON REUSCH</div><p>KITCHENER, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Although many had known of the need for another Minor Professional hockey league, it was Sam Pollock of the Montreal Canadiens system who made the biggest contribution to forming the Eastern Professional Hockey League.</p><p>In its third year of operation, the EPHL is just beginning to bear the fruits of Pollock&rsquo;s works.</p><p>For eleven years, Sam Pollock had been the director of personnel for the Montreal Canadiens a job which entailed staffing the farm team of the Canadiens, including amateur During that period he saw young players who were of the &ldquo;star&rdquo; calibre but had definite potential, being lost in the Senior Amateur leagues in the United States and Canada. In 1959, he decided to do something about this problem.</p><p>The Eastern Professional Hockey League was the result.</p><p>The whole idea of the league was to keep the calibre pro but make it a place for graduated Juniors and amateurs who had NHL potential, but needed coaching to bring A rule was put into the constitution that required three rookies and two second year men on each team in the league. A team would have to go short-handed if they were unable to ice the required number.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-13113/1775693-1-eng-US/f0013-132.jpg" title="f0013-13" width="293" height="439"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Sam Pollock</b></figcaption></div><p>When the league started, in the 1959-60 season, Pollock took over the general manager&rsquo;s position of the Hull-Ottawa entry while still retaining his personnel job with the parent Canadiens.</p><p>Because of its youth, the league immediately gained the reputation for being the fastest of the minor professional leagues. The standards were high and the league bore fruit the first year, especially for Hull-Ottawa and Sam Pollock. He sent Gilles and Jean Claude Tremblay to the parent Club.</p><p>Last season, Hull won the Tom Foley Memorial Award, significant of the league championships. That was a banner year for the National Hockey League as that same Hull team fed the NHL such EPHL stars as triple award winner Cliff Pennington to Boston. Pennington won the Most Valuable Player, Rookie-of-the-Year and sportsmanship awards.</p><p>The Montreal Canadiens brought up Al MacNeil and Bob Rousseau. Terry Gray, also with Hull was taken by the Bruin system. Boston also got Dick Meissner from their Kingston farm team and Pat Stapleton from Chicago BlackHawks&rsquo; Sob Thunderbirds.</p><p>In the two and a half seasons Sam Pollock has been with the Hull-Ottawa Canadiens, his club has been in the top brackets of the league. In the first year they finished third, just one point back of second place Montreal Royals, who went on to win the league championship. Last year they won the league title and this year again they&rsquo;re right in contention in third place.</p><p>Is Pollock&rsquo;s success with the Hull-Ottawa Canadiens a fluke?</p><p>If fourteen years of success is any measure it certainly is not.</p><p>Pollock started his managing of hockey teams in Montreal, his birthplace.</p><p>Junior Hockey was the first thing he took a crack at. In eight years, teams under him had won the Memorial Cup twice. Montreal in 1950 and the Hull-Ottawa Juniors in 1958.</p><p>A great deal of satisfaction must come to him when he sits back and looks at the Montreal Canadiens. Every: player but one Lou Fontinato, came up through their farm system, a system that he organized.</p><p>Whom is he looking to for future Montrealers? Cesare Maniago the EPHL&rsquo;s leading netminder, Bill Masterson, a rookie forward from Denver University and Barclay Plager have all been turning in fine performances for Hull-Ottawa this season.</p><p>In a special interview for THE HOCKEY NEWS, he discussed his own team and his competition.</p><p>In the early part of the season, Pollock sold Willie O&rsquo;Ree and sent John Annable to other teams. Said Sam, &ldquo;My main purpose for being here (in Ottawa) is to develop hockey players for Montreal. O&rsquo;Ree never would have helped the Canadiens but he might fit into another team&rsquo;s system of play. It gives him a break as well as giving us room to bring in another up and coming youngster.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;We have a defenceman right now who could go into any major league team, but because there are six defencemen already on the Canadiens Jean Gauthier is playing for us. If he keeps improving he&rsquo;ll soon be able to crack the Canadiens&rsquo; lineup.&rdquo;</p><p>What about the other farm systems in the NHL?</p><p>&ldquo;The future for the New York Rangers looks very bright,&rdquo; Pollock stated. &ldquo;The Rangers have the best young prospects of any club in the National League. I&rsquo;d say Montreal and Toronto are second on the list.&rdquo;</p><p>The cellar club in the NHL last year. New York and Boston have begun to show signs of building in the first place it usually shows, in the farm teams. Boston&rsquo;s farm team, the Kingston Frontenacs and New York&rsquo;s Kitchener Waterloo, Beavers currently are holding the top two spots in the Eastern Pro league.</p><p>The pioneer work of Sam Pollock is not only helping the Montreal Canadiens but every team in the National Hockey League.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Pollocks Dream For EPHL A Three Season Reality

<div class="byline">By SHEL FULLERTON</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01395/1775783-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg" title="f0014-01" width="288" height="432"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Hank Ciesla</b></figcaption></div><p>CLEVELAND, O.&mdash;</p><p>To those who like to quote proverbs, a bird in the hand always will be worth two in the bush.</p><p>Two members of the Cleveland Barons, the words &ldquo;in hand&rdquo; have an entirely different meaning.</p><p>At this writing, the Barons lead the Rochester Americans by one point and the Buffalo Bisons by two, but the games they have &ldquo;in hand&rdquo; on both Rochester and Buffalo give the Barons every hope of a drive to the top of the American Hockey League&rsquo;s Western Division standings.</p><p>The Barons have played four less games than the Americans, three less than the Bisons. Actually, the Cleveland icers have the best winning percentage in their division.</p><p>As a matter of fact, the Barons like to quote their own proverb&mdash;&ldquo;A rolling stone gathers no moss.&rdquo; The Barons are rolling and they&rsquo;re gathering no moss at all&mdash;absolutely none.</p><p>The rolling they have done in their last eight games&mdash;of which they&rsquo;ve won seven&mdash;actually boosted them into a 24 hour first place tie with Rochester. It was short-lived, simply because the Barons were idle the following night when both Rochester and Buffalo wor their games, but Coach Jackie Gordon&rsquo;s skaters got enough of a taste of the top to know they liked it.</p><p>Apparently doomed to a third place finish as time ran out on 1961, the Barons have staged a smashing comeback that has carried them to five straight victories, their longest winning streak of the season.</p><p>The win that boosted them into their brief tie for the top rung was a brilliant 4-0 conquest of Buffalo, a team the Barons had not been able to defeat all season. It proved two things&mdash;that everything previously written about the Ron Attwell-Fred Glover-Jim Mikol line was true and that in 21-year-old Al Cullen the Barons have an outstanding young goalie on the string.</p><p>Cullen was hauled in from Woodstock to replace Les Binkley when the latter suffered a sprained ankle and some pulled ligaments in a practice session. Cullen&rsquo;s first two professional showings resulted in a 3-2 win over Hershey on the Bears&rsquo; ice and the shutout victory over Buffalo.</p><p>He was afforded fine protection, but came up with enough sensational saves to stamp himself as a prime prospect.</p><p>The Hershey and Buffalo wins again emphasized the value of the Attwell-Glover-Mikol line, the three men accounting for six of the seven goals netted in the pair of victories. Glover potted two goals against Hershey to lead the Bears to their third defeat of the season on their home ice. Against the Bisons, Attwell accounted for the &ldquo;hat trick,&rdquo; with Mikol adding the game&rsquo;s fourth goal.</p><p>Attwell&rsquo;s &ldquo;hat trick&rdquo; was the second of the season for the Barons. Glover had scored one previously, also against Buffalo.</p><p>Gordon found other cause for encouragement in the fact that the Barons again have hit a winning stride on the road and the powerplay continues to be what its name implies.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Barons Sudden Streak Powers Them Into 1st

<div class="byline">By HOWIE NEWSTATE</div><p>MUSKEGON, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Muskegon&rsquo;s always-hustling Zephyrs, put together ten straight wins, longest of the season in the International Hockey League, before losing to Omaha, 5-4 in overtime.</p><p>Now, Moose Lallo&rsquo;s charges are out to put another string of victories together. After the Omaha loss, Muskegon bested Indianapolis, 3-2, and Ft. Wayne, 13-2.</p><p>In the rout of Ft. Wayne, center Warren Back picked up nine points, on two goals and seven assists. Back set a new IHL mark for &ldquo;helpers&rdquo; in one game. The old record was six, held by a half dozen players.</p><p>Bryan McLay and defenseman Joe Kiss scored three-goal hat tricks, while Back and Joe Kastelic tallied two each. The McLay-Back-Kastelic forward set scored seven of the 13 goals.</p><p>&ldquo;Actually, the strain of trying to keep a winning streak going is sometimes harder than snapping out of a losing streak,&rdquo; commented Coach Lallo. &ldquo;Now with the pressure off, the players want to go out and start another winning streak.&rdquo;</p><p>Adding, Lallo said, &ldquo;Some of the players were starting to relax, and the loss at this point should wake them up to the fact that they will have to work all the time on the ice. With the league race this tight, we&rsquo;ll be out stronger than ever to win every game.&rdquo;</p><p>The secret of the Zephyrs&rsquo; success, is a team effort. &ldquo;As most winning streaks go, it was our playing together that made us click, opined general manager, Jerry DeLise. &ldquo;Specifically, Jim McLeod was outstanding in goal and played exceptional hockey, especially on the road.&rdquo;</p><p>Veteran Kenny Hayden along with &ldquo;forward partners&rdquo; Lyle Porter and Stan Konrad, &ldquo;were hot&rdquo; during the win streak. They totalled 21 goals during the stretch.</p><p>The Zephyrs&rsquo; three-man defense team of Capt. Gerry Glaude, Joe Kiss and Moose Lallo, were like the &ldquo;Rock of Gibralter.&rdquo; Not only were they rocking oncoming forwards of the opposition, but they were getting their share of scoring points.</p><p>&ldquo;As all the other top clubs were also winning,&rdquo; claimed G. M. DeLise, &ldquo;We can&rsquo;t look back on those ten games we won in a row, but must look to the games ahead, which is the important thing at this point.&rdquo;</p><p><b>IHL NOTES&hellip;</b> Commissioner Frank Gallagher has suspended St. Paul goaler Jacques Marcotte, for the balance of the season, for striking referee George Karn, in a game at Minneapolis, Jan. 7.</p><p>Other fines levied by Gallagher in the Jan. 7 classic, were $100 and three game suspension to Ted Hodgson; $75 and two game suspension to John Bailey and Gilles Thibault; and Jean Paul Denis $50 and one game.</p><p>Pat Ginnell, Omaha&rsquo;s captain, will sit out ten games and be fined $100, for his run-in with referee Bill Purcell, at Indianapolis, January 10.</p><p>Lynn Davis, former Montreal Canadien farmhand, will guard the twine for St. Paul&hellip;Davis played the last couple of years with Charlotte of the Eastern League.</p><h2>Mighty Zepher</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-02311/1775814-1-eng-US/f0014-022.jpg" title="f0014-02" width="540" height="569"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Kenny Hayden</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

HOCKEY CROSSWORD

<div class="byline">By SID PAYNE</div><p>NEW YORK. N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>Playing at home in any sport gives a team a big lift. In hockey, that lift is even bigger. Take the Eastern League, for example.</p><p>It&rsquo;s easy to figure out why the top clubs in Tom Lockhart&rsquo;s circuit are the top clubs. They simply overwhelm the opposition on home ice while playing respectable hockey on the road.</p><p>And even the mediocre teams dazzle the home fans more often than not. But when these clubs take to the road, their stock tumbles. However, they manage to make the playoffs because they fatten up at home.</p><p>Of the eight teams in the Eastern League, six are playing better than .500 hockey at home while only one team has won more than it has lost on enemy ice.</p><p>Clinton, Johnstown and Greensboro are the loop&rsquo;s top echelon&mdash;and each club is virtually unbeatable at home. This trio has piled up 51 victories at home as against only 11 setbacks in games through Jan. 14.</p><p>Their road totals are much less formidable: The won-lost marks are 32-33.</p><p>Here is a breakdown on the clubs&rsquo; won and lost records at home and on the road:</p><p>Clinton&mdash;Home, 16-3-1. Away, 15-12-0. Johnston&mdash;Home, 18-3-0. Away, 8-12-1. New Haven&mdash;Home, 14-7-0. Away, 6-17-0. Long Island&mdash;Home, 9-11-0. Away, 4-15-1. Greensboro&mdash;Home, 17-5-0. Away, 9-9-0. Knoxville&mdash;Home, 12-9-1. Away, 9-15-1. Charlotte&mdash;Home, 14-10-0. Away, 4-14-0. Philadelphia&mdash;Home, 7-12-1. Away, 7-15-0.</p><p><b>AROUND THE LEAGUE:</b> Knoxville goalie Claude Cyr posted his third shutout within eight nights as the Knights blanked Greensboro, 1-0, in overtime. Les Calder got the winning goal. Only the night before, the Generals shaded Knoxville, 2-1, on third period goals by Bobby Forehan&hellip;Art Rose bagged three goals as Clinton downed New Haven, 5-1. But the Comets dropped their next game, 5-2, to Johnstown as Dave Lucas netted a pair for the Jets. Johnstown suffered its worse home defeat in years when Charlotte won, 8-2&hellip;The Long Island Ducks snapped a four-game losing streak by beating Philadelphia, 5-1. The Ramblers had won two in a row before that one by shading the Ducks, 4-3, and thumping Clinton, 8-5. In the win over Clinton, Chuck Stuart collected his 30th and 31st goals of the season&hellip;Don Atamanchuk&rsquo;s goal with only 11 seconds left gave Charlotte a 4-3 victory over Long Island&hellip;Greensboro was latest hot club in loop with seven straight wins before loss to Knoxville&hellip;</p><p>Philadelphia added Jerry Frizzelle to squad and dropped defenseman Arlie Hodgeson&hellip;New Haven put Claude Boileau and John Sherban back on roster following injuries to Steve Kuzma and coach Wally Kullman&hellip;Blades ended four-game losing streak with 4-2 victory over Charlotte.
