Wouldn’t End In 1st—Toe: Mask To Stay
MONTREAL, Que.— A few years ago when Doug Harvey was in his prime (he’s not doing badly with the Rangers) the theory around the league was: “Where would Jacques Plante be Without Harvey.” Now, without the perennial all-star defenceman in front of him, the colorful goalie is winding up his greatest season and there’s a new theory around the big-time hockey circuit: “Where would Canadiens be without Jacques Plante?” The answer might be third place where a lot of the self-styled experts picked the Habs to finish last September. Plante, well on the way to regaining the Vezina Trophy which he won five years running before Toronto’s Johnny Bower grabbed it last year, has been as good if not better than ever. Last look at Montreal’s record showed Plante with a 2.29 average on…
Moncton Takes On Amherst In final Playoffs
NEW GLASGOW, N.S.— A pair of aggressive, hard skating 20-year-old forwards and a side burned goaltender combined their talents to move the Moncton Beavers into the finals of the Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League. Centreman Phil Dorion and right winger Oscar Gaudet, stars of Moncton’s 1961 Memorial Cup semifinalists, provided the offensive power and cage guardian Ron Boomer supplied the big saves as Beavers sent New Glasgow Rangers to the sidelines.

After being drydocked all season with a fractured leg, Gaudet returned to the Beaver fold just in time for the playoff round and responded with eight goals as Beavers and Rangers battled to the…
Can’t Be Beat If We Keep Playing This Way--Vasko
CHICAGO, Ill.— Whenever big Elmer Vasko carries the puck up ice for the Chicago Black Hawks the Chicago Stadium resounds with loud calls of: “Moooose! Moooose! Moooose!” In recent weeks these calls have been increasing in frequency as the 6 foot-3 inch, 210 pound defenseman has been rushing with the puck more than earlier in the year. “There’s no special reason,” says big Vasko, who has been around the National Hockey League since the 1956-57 season. “Pierre Pilote usually does most of the rushing for our defense pair but lately I’ve been doing it more than usual”. Could it be the other teams are watching Pilote more now that he has earned a reputation as a rusher and has been selected on the NHL All-Star second team the past two seasons? “It’s possible,” said Vosko. “I…
