He is the AHL&rsquo;s all-time great scoring champion, with 402 goals and a perennial All-Star.</figcaption></div>CLEVELAND, O.&mdash;Fred Glover, the American Hockey League&rsquo;s most valuable player and the greatest scoring star in its history, has taken over from Jack Gordon as coach of the Cleveland Barons.Glover steps into the driver&rsquo;s seat after serving last season, under Gordon, as assistant coach of the club. Previously, he had served as the team captain.The change was made for two reasons, to reward Glover, who had earned a coaching opportunity after 10 seasons as a member of the Barons, and to reduce some of the pressure on Gordon, who is the Cleveland general manager.Gordon essayed his dual role upon the death of the late Jim Hendy on January 14, 1960. He did a splendid job, but the burden was terrific. Now he will be free to devote his time to the general manager&rsquo;s duties, but still will be available to lend a hand to Glover should Fred be in need of advice while he is getting his feet on the ground.&ldquo;I think Glover will do a fine job,&rdquo; says Gordon. &ldquo;His appointment will enable me to spend more time at the general manager&rsquo;s tasks, and also will give me some free time to get around to see some other clubs.&ldquo;I never could get away last season, because I always had to be on hand for the Barons&rsquo; games.&rdquo;Glover, his wife, Marie, and daughter, Nancy, will leave their home in Toronto and take up permanent residence in Cleveland.Last March during the &ldquo;Fred Glover Night&rdquo; festivities honoring the Cleveland star for having scored his 400th American Hockey League goal, Glover said. &ldquo;I consider Cleveland as my second home. In fact, I actually have more friends here now that I do back in Toronto.&rdquo;His year as assistant coach of the Barons is expected to stand Glover in good stead.&ldquo;Fred was a big help last season,&rdquo; observes Gordon. &ldquo;While I handled the club during the games, Fred took over on a lot of the practice sessions when I was otherwise occupied.&rdquo;Glover expects to be a playing coach for the Barons. Some coaches have had trouble directing their clubs while playing, but Fred is willing to give it a try. The most serious trouble Glover, the coach, would encounter would be in trying to fill the shoes of Glover, the player.There just are not any NHL players around capable of filling his shoes satisfactorily.In 14 years in the AHL. Glover has established a record that may never be equalled.Twice he has been named as the league&rsquo;s most valuable player and on five occasions, including the 1961-62 season, he has been named to the All-Star team. He led the league in scoring in 1956-57 and 1959-66.His all-time AHL marks of 402 goals, 574 assists and 976 points are league records. His 41 playoff goals also are a record. To complete the record, he also is the all-time penalty leader, both in regular season and playoff competition.Gordon became coach of the Barons in the 1956-57 season, succeeding Bun Cook. In six years at the helm of the club, he never failed to bring the Barons into the playoffs, winning the Calder Cup championship in his first season and piloting his team to the Western Division title in the season just concluded. &#9632;

Glover Rewarded For Ice Services

MONTREAL. Que.&mdash;The professional hockey clubs who shell out the dollars to develop young stars for the National Hockey League want their fledglings brought along in the true fashion of the game&mdash;by the pro hockey code.NHL President Clarence Campbell reminded the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, the governing body of amateur hockey, at the summer hockey meetings here that budding amateurs must work their way up to the big leagues under professional regulations and the CAHA was not to interfere by altering playing rules.Campbell said the NHL teams want youngsters to learn the game by the pro rule book and that it would not sanction the CAHA using rules other than those approved by the NHL.The NHL owners through President Campbell, rejected three major suggested changes by the CAHA which would have radically changed the execution of the penalty shot, made icing automatic and eliminated the center red line in order to increase the area of passing.The CAHA suggested that instead of making players on both sides chase an obvious icing all the way down the ice and delay the whistle until the defending player had touched the puck after it crossed the goal line that the referee blow his whistle as soon as the puck crossed the line.&ldquo;This would be a thoroughly bad rule.&rdquo; Campbell said. &ldquo;There is nothing worse in this world than for hockey players to stand around waiting for the referee to blow his whistle. It is ridiculous for the National League to spend money in such quantities and not be able to train players under the same rules used by the pros.&rdquo;The NHL also rejected the CAHA recommendation for keeping the puck in play on a missed penalty shot on the grounds that the resultant action of a missed shot would create confusion.The NHL did, however, permit the CAHA to use the automatic icing whistle and its no red line rule in any minor league in which no NHL sponsored teams operate.In reference to non-conformity of rules in general, Campbell said he feels the difference in rules used by United States colleges &ldquo;has down-graded the prospects of players reaching the NHL.&rdquo;Campbell said there are 75 Canadians now attending U.S. colleges on hockey scholarships&mdash;players who formerly played on NHL-sponsored teams in Canada.Since NHL clubs sponsor many junior and lower-rank amateur clubs he said &ldquo;it is ridiculous to pay money for sponsorship and not develop players in the way we want them trained.&rdquo; &#9632;

Picking New Coach Of Rangers Popular Summer Guessing Game

TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Red Kelly marches off to Parliament Hill this year but what about his professional hockey career?<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/cover-01307/1981114-1-eng-US/cover-012.jpg" title="Cover-01" width="288" height="428"><figcaption class="caption-body">Red Kelly</figcaption></div>It seems no one knows as yet exactly what is going to happen, not Kelly, not the Leafs and not the electors who voted the 35-year-old Toronto Maple Leafs&rsquo; hockey star into the Government as the successful Liberal candidate in Toronto York West during the recent Federal elections.Kelly promised his electors during his campaigning that he would stay with the game for one more year then retire to look after their affairs in Ottawa.&lsquo;I told my electors I probably will play for one more year. Even that isn&rsquo;t certain, because I haven&rsquo;t signed for next season yet,&rdquo; said Kelly.<h2>Leafs Silent</h2>Kelly&rsquo;s victory in the Toronto riding, the first for a Liberal candidate since 1935, will certainly give the Leafs something to think about when the veteran sits down to talk contract with manager coach Punch Imlach. The Leafs have remained strangely silent through it all with little or no comment.There has been wild speculation that there will be some sort of a compromise between Kelly and the Leafs whereby he will play only home games or weekends. but this seems hardly likely. Then there is the question of a possible second election, which could be held in the fall when training camp is underway.Kelly himself said he still doesn&rsquo;t know what he plans to do and doesn&rsquo;t expect to make any announcements until all angles are covered. &#9632;

Election Victory Poses Problems For ‘Red’ Kelly

MONTREAL, Que.The National Hockey League had its greatest season in history last year at the box office.League president Clarence Campbell disclosed that the NHL set an attendance record of 2,436,000 during the 1961-62 campaign.The crowd total represented about a five per cent&mdash;around 116,000&mdash;increase over the previous season and topped the league&rsquo;s all-time high year of 1946-47 when 2,397,000 fans passed through the six rink turnstiles.Campbell did not give a complete breakdown by clubs but said New York Rangers showed the greatest attendance increase, about 87,000 more than in 1960-61. The increase in Chicago was 60,000.Montreal and Toronto have long had virtual sellouts for each game but the Toronto figure last season showed a slight increase of about 1,500. Montreal remained practically unchanged. &#9632;

NHL Completes Record Season At Gate

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div>NEW YORK. N.Y&mdash;The Rangers have always managed to keep New Yorkers in a tizzy but even the most staunch Manhattan hockey fan will readily admit this is ridiculous.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/cover-0382/1981169-1-eng-US/cover-032.jpg" title="Cover-03" width="274" height="432"><figcaption class="caption-body">Bert Olmstead</figcaption></div>Trying to, figure who will be coaching the Rangers this season has become the newest guessing game around here and it may be a bigger job than you think trying to arrive at an answer.New Yorkers are asking themselves, who will it be? Red Sullivan, Emil Francis. Bert Olm-stead or even Doug Harvey again.Alas, with the coach-of-the-year Rangers you never know.At this writing, the state of the Blueshirt bench hierarchy is as foggy as an ice rink in summertime. It all started when Harvey sprung his &ldquo;I shall not return&rdquo; speech, and became increasingly more confusing thereafter. This is why:First: General manager Muzz Patrick hoped Harvey would reverse his retirement declaration and added that a new coach wouldn&rsquo;t be named until July or August.Second: The Rangers acquired Olmstead from Toronto in the draft and Patrick said he would consider offering Bert the job of playing-coach.Third: Patrick dispatched Francis to Olmstead&rsquo;s farm to sound out Bert on the opening. Francis and Olmstead are old buddies.Fourth: When Olmstead nixed the coaching bid but indicated he would play, the spotlight switched to Francis. He appeared certain to get the job. Certain, that is, if Harvey doesn&rsquo;t change his mind and return to New York.&ldquo;I&rsquo;m still not giving up on Doug,&rdquo; Patrick said in the midst of the Francis talk, &ldquo;I still think he might change his mind.&rdquo;The inference being that Harvey could change his mind as late as the opening of training camp and still win back his job. The Rangers performed too well with Harvey at the helm, to let him slip by.Under Doug&rsquo;s regime, the Gotham sextet had its biggest money, year and increased attendance a fat 87,000 over the previous season, better than any other NHL club.Likewise, hockey&rsquo;s prestige in New York took a giant step forward and the ice sport began to draw heavily from rooters who traditionally spent their sports dollar on football and basketball.Harvey waited until the beginning of the annual NHL meetings before announcing his decision.&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t like moving my family around and changing schools,&rdquo; Doug wrote in his letter of resignation. &ldquo;I would also like my boy to continue in hockey, and that would be possible only by leaving him here in Montreal.&rdquo;This explanation would have been simple enough taken alone but a week after Harvey resigned there were reports that he still wanted to play&mdash;but not in New York.Hal Laycoe, g.m. and coach of the Portland Buckeroos, was reported by a wire service as saying that Harvey is willing to play another season &ldquo;but he wants no part of New York.&rdquo;&ldquo;He doesn&rsquo;t know how that will be done,&rdquo; the wire story out of Boston quoted Laycoe, &ldquo;but he&rsquo;s ready to retire if New York won&rsquo;t release him.&rdquo;The Toronto Maple Leafs supposedly made a pitch for Harvey during the draft meetings but were told that he plays for the Rangos or nobody. &#9632;

N.Y. Drafting Of Olmstead Boosts Field

<div class="byline">BY STAN FISCHLER</div>NEW YORK, N. Y.&mdash;The Rangers gained a centerman and a left wing and lost a left wing and a defenseman in the annual NHL draft in moves that neither provoke great exultation nor despair at Madison Square Garden.Hoping to jazz up the weak center ice situation, the Blues obtained pivot Bronco Horvath from Chicago for the $20,000 draft tag and did likewise with left wing Bert Olmstead ex of Toronto.Lost are left wing Guy Gendron and defense man Irv Spencer, both of whom were corralled by the Boston Bruins.General Manager Muzz Patrick had left Pat Hannigan, Gendron, Ted Hampson, Spencer, and Camille Henry, of his varsity, unprotected.Neither Henry, nor Jack McCartan, the erstwile Olympic hero goalie now with Kitchener, were claimed. It has been suggested that the physically-worn Henry may be dealt to Quebec of the American League.New York&rsquo;s original protected list included Gump Worsley, Marcel Paille, Doug Harvey, Harry Howell, Al Langlois, Irv Spencer, Jim Nielson, Al Labrun, Larry Cahan, Andy Bath-gate, Andy Hebenton, Rod Gilbert, Earl Ingarfield, Ted Hampson, Jean Ratelle, Dave Balon, Bryan Hextall, Dean Prentice, Vic Hadfield and Len Ronson. When the Blues drafted Horvath they took Hampson off the list. Also Spencer when Olmstead arrived.Aside from Olmstead, whose status is uncertain at this writing, Patrick was delighted with the opportunity to claim Horvath, who played for the Rangers in 1955-56, spent four years in Boston and last year toiled for Chicago.&ldquo;We made a mistake last year,&rdquo; admitted Patrick &ldquo;when we didn&rsquo;t draft Horvath. We&rsquo;re lucky to get a second chance at him.&rdquo;Both Spencer and Gendron were something of enigmas in New York livery.When the Rangers drafted Spencer from Montreal in 1959 there were suggestions that he&rsquo;d become a very competent player. But a succession of coaches, starting with Phil Watson, continuing with Alf Pike and ending with Doug Harvey used him sporadically.The result was that he rusted on the bench and when he did play, his exuberance led to often senseless penalties. Given steady work&mdash;indications are he&rsquo;ll be converted to center&mdash;the 24-year-old muscleman still could be a winner.Gendron also was a puzzlement. He was drafted from the Rangers by Boston in 1958 after three unspectacular years in New York, played two and a half seasons in Beantown, went to Canadiens and last year returned to the Blues.He burst from the gate as if he&rsquo;d score 25 goals, then stalled in a prolonged slump that wasn&rsquo;t cured until late in the season. He&rsquo;s best remembered for a spectacular playoff goal against Toronto last spring.Horvath&rsquo;s potential value to the Rangers is questionable. In 1959-60 he scored 39 goals and 80 points to finish a point behind scoring leader Bobby Hull. But the Brone is now 32 years old and one wonders how much dynamite is left in his stick.Never a zealous checker, Horvath&rsquo;s forte has been a quick and accurate shot. Last year he scored 17 goals, 29 assists and 46 points in part-time duty with Chicago. He hit for four goals and an assist in 12 playoff games.<h2>Wanted Out</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01408/1979511-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="530" height="846"><figcaption class="caption-body">Doug Harvey</figcaption></div> &#9632;

The Habs coach just signed a one-year contract with the club.</figcaption></div>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Toe Blake is unique as a hockey coach. Most men would relish a three-year contract in today&rsquo;s swirling National Hockey League, but not the astute bench boss of the Montreal Canadiens.Blake requested and signed a one-year pact to guide the Habs for an eighth term but it was learned that he could have had the same terms for three years but declined.Canadiens&rsquo; managing-difector, Frank J. Selke, said Blake insisted on a one-year deal.Says Blake, &ldquo;the way I look at it is that if I can&rsquo;t win the Stanley Cup with this team, then I don&rsquo;t deserve to earn more than I&rsquo;m being paid by the Canadiens.&rdquo;Blake said he didn&rsquo;t want to be committed to more than one year and he felt the Canadiens wouldn&rsquo;t be obliged to keep him if the club went into a tailspin and went nowhere next season.The former hard-driving left winger of the Canadiens&rsquo; famed Punch Line&rsquo; with Maurice Richard and Elmer Lach, has the most enviable coaching record in the NHL.Since taking over from the late Dick Irvin at the outset of the 1955-56 season, Blake has guided the Canucks to six league titles and an unprecedented five Stanley Cup championships.There was wild speculation that Blake was possibly considering not returning to his position this season but his signing spiked the rumors.Many hockey observers feel that the 50-year-old Blake would possibly step aside if the Canadiens emerged a winner again. The Habs have finished first the last two years but both times have lost out to the Chicago Black Hawks in the first-playoff round.Blake has said many times that he feels sure the Canadiens have the personnel to take the cup again. &ldquo;You could say that last season was my most disappointing year with the club,&rdquo; he added. &#9632;

Blake Rejects 3-Year Pact With Canadiens

<div class="byline">&#x2014;Stan Fischler.</div>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;Lore &ldquo;Gump&rdquo; Worsley, the squat net-minder who was beginning to think goalkeeping was fun (as long as Doug Harvey played in front of him) is somewhat perturbed about his future.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03354/1979573-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="290" height="449"><figcaption class="caption-body">Lome Worsley</figcaption></div>The studious Gumper fears that the all-consuming feeling of security, which Doug so generously instilled, will be gone with Harvey&rsquo;s departure from Manhattan.When Worsley learned that Harvey cancelled his 1962-63 Gotham reservations he seemed slightly apoplectic. The drafting of young defenseman Irv Spencer didn&rsquo;t exactly delight him either.Minus Harvey and Spencer, the Ranger pre-training camp backline shapes up as Al Langlois, Harry Howell, Larry Cahan, Jim Neilson, Al Lebrun and whoever else shows well in September.Neilson and Lebrun were prodigies on the Kitchener club last season in the Eastern pro league. Langlois, Howell and Cahan played regularly for the Rangers.If the Blueshirts so desired, they could have acquired a defenseman or two in the draft. Worsley had a couple in mind.&ldquo;Why didn&rsquo;t they grab Dollard St. Laurent from Chicago,&rdquo; said Gump. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a good defenseman. They could have grabbed him &lsquo;cause he was unprotected. Or, Larry Hillman from Toronto.&rdquo; Apart from being a veteran, St. Laurent is Worsley&rsquo;s off-season neighbor in Montreal.Jumping, flopping and kicking like never before, Worsley last season rang up a 2.90 average equalling a mark he achieved in 1955-56, when the springs in his legs were somewhat more supple.Since then Worsley has been plagued with some of the most uncooperative fraternity brothers this side of a peewee league. But the arrival of Harvey and Langlois last year restored Gump&rsquo;s confidence in humanity.Worsley, now 33, fears that such blitzs will become chronic without Harvey around. &#9632;

MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Unless he has a change of heart, Doug Harvey&rsquo;s illustrious hockey career in the National Hockey League has ended and his departure leaves the game minus one of its truly great performers.The homesick, 37-year-old Harvey tossed a bombshell at the New York Rangers during the summer NHL meetings here when he announced that he was turning his back on a $25,000 contract as playing-coach of the New York Rangers in order that he would be able to&rsquo; spend more time with his family.Despite the decision by the perennial all-star defenceman to call it quits, it was revealed that the New York &lsquo;brass&rsquo; was leaving the door open for Harvey to return next season.<h2>Patrick Stunned</h2>&ldquo;We wont&rsquo; make a decision on a replacement for possibly 60 days,&rdquo; said a shocked Muzz Patrick, general manager of the Blues. Patrick was obviously gambling that Harvey would re-consider when he protected the star rearguard during the NHL draft sessions.Harvey advised the Rangers of his decision to quit after completing his first season on a three-year contract a few months ago. He had written them a letter advising them of his decision but hadn&rsquo;t mailed it. He wrote a second letter which said just about the same thing.&ldquo;I guess my roots are planted too deeply here in Montreal.&rdquo; what with my business, friends and home all being here,&rdquo; he said.Harvey admitted that &ldquo;a day hadn&rsquo;t gone by that I hadn&rsquo;t thought about it,&rdquo; but he re-affirmed that the problem hadn&rsquo;t changed and he was going to stick by his decision.&ldquo;I just don&rsquo;t want to shuffle my wife and five children around,&rdquo; he stated.Harvey, who played 14 years with the Canadiens before taking over the Ranger job last summer, said he had &ldquo;no idea what my status will be in hockey.&rdquo; But the Rangers said they would like to keep the crew-cut Harvey in the organization, &ldquo;Perhaps as a scout.&rdquo;&ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t have been better received by anyone than I was in New York,&rdquo; Harvey continued. &ldquo;It had nothing to do with money or anything else they offered me.&ldquo;I just don&rsquo;t like moving my family around, changing schools and so on. I also would like my boy to continue in hockey and the only way that will be possible would be to leave him here in Montreal, and this I am not prepared to do.&ldquo;I know my friends will be disappointed but I have my own life to lead,&rdquo; he declared to a throng of newsmen.<div class="sidebar"><h2>SPORTS PHOTOS!</h2>Thousands of different 8 &times; 10 glossy photos.

Bruins, Wings Forced To Shell Out

MONTREAL, Que.The Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings, the two teams that finished out of the National Hockey League playoff race last season, spent a total of $180,000 drafting players they hope will provide the lever to spring them back into the charmed circle in 1962-63.The last-place Bruins, desperately in need of defensive strength and goaling help, were the big plungers in the summer season dealings as they drafted five players and purchased a top minor league net-minder, 31-year-old Bob Perreault.The Wings, who did a thriving minor league business by unloading eight of their farmhands, grabbed up three players in the NHL intra-league draft and one in the draft on the Western League. They also got a top defenceman Doug Barkley, from Chicago.But the big surprise of the summer draft came when the New York Rangers dramatically plucked Bert Olmstead off the Toronto Maple Leafs&rsquo; unprotected list.In making the 36-year-old Olmstead their No. 1 draft pick, the Rangers invariably did so with the intention of offering the Sceptre, Sask., wheat farmer the Blues&rsquo; coaching job, which was declared vacant when Doug Harvey resigned after serving one season of a three-year contract.&ldquo;We must seriously consider Olmstead for the position because of his leadership qualities,&rdquo; said Muzz Patrick, New York&rsquo;s general manager, &ldquo;We need a take charge guy now that Harvey is gone.&rdquo;Olmstead, understood to be interested in a coaching job, is among three leading candidates for the post with the Rangers. The others are George (Red) Sullivan, a former New York centre, and onetime NHL goalie Emil (The Cat) Francis, both coaches of teams in New York&rsquo;s farm system last season.The Rangers picked up Olmstead from Toronto as one of the nine players grabbed up for $20,000 each in the intra-league draft. They also took Bronco Horvath from Chicago Black Hawks in a surprise move. It&rsquo;s the second time in N.Y. for Horvath.<h2>BAFFLING CHOICE</h2>The Bruins made a baffling first draft choice when they took the much travelled Jean Guy Gendron from the Rangers. Gendron was formerly with the Boston club before New York drafted him last year. Boston got Warren Godfrey, a defenceman, from Detroit as the No. 2 pick and Irv Spencer, also a rearguard, as their No. 3 choice from New York when the Rangers dropped him from their protected list to make room for Olmstead.Detroit selected three potential big leaguers in their draft picks. Forward Alex Faulkner, a Toronto Chattel who was with Rochester in the AHL last season, was the top choice. Barclay Plager, a promising defenceman with Hull-Ottawa in the EPHL, was grabbed as the No. 2 pick when Montreal failed to protect him. Floyd Smith, who fired 41 goals for Springfield, was the No. 3 draft of the Wings off the Rangers&rsquo; list. He is a right wing.Toronto Maple Leafs drafted only one player, Ed Van Impe, a Chicago-owned defenceman who played with Buffalo in 1961-62. Both the Canadiens and Black Hawks passed on every round of the intra-league draft.Besides grabbing Gendron, Spencer and Godfrey, the Bruins drafted goaltender, Eddie Johnston and defenceman Larry McNabb from Spokane of the Western League. They also gave the Hershey Bears goalie Ed Chadwick and young rearguard, Barry Ashbee, in a deal for Perreault, an ageing netminder but ranked as the best outside the NHL. The Bruins are expected to give both Perreault and Johnston a chance to win the No. 1 job from Bruce Gamble.Detroit picked off Yves Locas, a Canadiens&rsquo; farmhand, from Spokane, while Montreal took Art Jones, a high-scoring forward from Portland, and Toronto grabbed Gerry Goyer from Los Angeles in the inter-league draft by the NHL on the Western League.The Wings picked up defenceman Barkley from Chicago and sent Len Lunde and Jack Mc-Kenzie, two former NHL forwards, to the Hawks&rsquo; Calgary farm club as payment. Barcley was an all-star last season with Calgary.Detroit shunted six minor leaguers to the Los Angeles club in a wholesale deal. The most prominent were ex-Wing veteran Leo Labine and young Marc Boileau, who played 54 games for Detroit last year before being sent down.In two other player trades, Toronto grabbed star defenceman Kent Douglas from Springfield in return for five minor leaguers, and of course, the Chicago Black Hawks got blueliner Al MacNeil from Montreal a few days before the draft in exchange for Buffalo forward Wayne Hicks.The two drafts this season embraced 14 players, which compared with 13 last season in both the intra-league and inter-league drafts. &#9632;

JOHNS, Nfld.&mdash;Detroit draft choice Alex Faulkner welcomed the news that he will now become the property of the Red Wings.Faulkner, striving to be the first Newfoundland native to make the NHL as a regular, was drafted by Detroit from Toronto and as far as he is concerned it&rsquo;s great news.&ldquo;They always give their players a chance,&rdquo; said the 26-year-old Faulkner, who played with Rochester in the AHL last season. &#9632;

How They Picked Them

MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;The years appear to be catching up with some of the National Hockey League&rsquo;s old favorites.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0915/1979804-1-eng-US/f0003-092.jpg" title="f0003-09" width="291" height="445"><figcaption class="caption-body">Vic Stasiuk</figcaption></div>The summer hockey draft which brings out the six NHL teams&rsquo; player protected lists, this year revealed some well established big leaguers were left open for claiming by other league clubs.Among the more prominent ones were Bert Olmstead, Dollard St. Laurent, Gerry Toppazzini, Vic Stasiuk, Bud Hillman, Marcel Bonin, Jean Guy Gendron, Warren Godfrey, Camille Henry, Bronco Horvath, Irvin Spencer and Don Simmons.In all 21 players were left off the protected lists by NHL clubs but only nine were taken.Others who were designated as &lsquo;free&rsquo; and up for grabs included Dick Meissner and Ken Stephenson of Boston; Forbes Kennedy and Claude Laforge of Detroit; and Ted Hampson and Pat Hannigan of New York.Failure to take St. Laurent was probably the most puzzling move at the draft meetings. Neither Boston nor New York, both of which need defensive strengthening badly, made a bid for the 33-year-old rearguard of the Black Hawks, a 10-year man in the NHL.The Bruins reportedly offered Toppazzini to Montreal in a straight player trade but. were rejected. Canadiens left the muscular Bonin off their list because doctors fear his big league hockey career is ended as the result of a back operation. &#9632;

The Hockey News THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY WEEKLY

The National Hockey League selection committee for the International Hockey Hall of Fame has decided that next year all deserving old-time players will be admitted to the &lsquo;Hall&rsquo; in a block.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-06234/1979925-1-eng-US/f0004-062.jpg" title="f0004-06" width="262" height="404"><figcaption class="caption-body">Sweeney Schriner</figcaption></div>The committee&rsquo;s announcement, made by chairman Frank J. Selke, undoubtedly will be greeted with enthusiasm by ageing hockey stars who have feared that because of declining years, they would not live to see themselves enshrined in the Toronto CNE hall of honor.The committee took this into consideration in deciding to &lsquo;fill the hall&rsquo; next year. In the past only three and four players per year were being admitted meaning that such an honor would ultimately come to some posthumously.During the recently completed NHL summer hockey meetings here, 13 were added to the Hall of Fame to bring the overall total to 102 members.Of the new additions to the &lsquo;Hall&rsquo;, only six were players, one was a referee and six were classed as &lsquo;builders&rsquo;.The six players admitted included three modern day performers, Dave (Sweeney) Schriner, Harry (Punch) Broadbent and Reg Noble. Old time players were Steamer Maxwell, still referred to around the Winnipeg area as &lsquo;Mr. Hockey&rsquo;. All Smith, one of Ottawa&rsquo;s famed Silver Seven&rsquo; and Harry Hylands, a Montrealer who averaged 20 goals a season for the Old Wanderers.Schriner, who twice captured the NHL scoring championship, was the last of the six players to play hockey actively. He made a tremendous impact on the league when he broke in during 1934-35 season winning rookie-of-the-year honors while finishing ninth in the scoring race with 40 points.Schriner set out to become top scorer in the ensuing two years, gathering 91 points and scoring 40 goals in the two seasons for the Americans. He narrowly missed it again in 1938-39 when Toe Blake of Canadiens headed him off with 47 points. Schriner had 44.<h2>Finished With Leafs</h2>The smooth-skating Westerner went on to complete his NHL career with the Toronto Leafs ending up with 201 goals, making him the 30th all-time high scorer.Schriner was twice named to NHL all-star teams beating out the great Harvey &lsquo;Busher&rsquo; Jackson of the Leafs in 1934-35 for the first-team left wing berth.Broadbent and Noble both played before Schriner. Broadbent formed one of Ottawa&rsquo;s great forward lines with Cy Denenny and Frank Nighbor. both of whom are already Hall of Fame members. He was considered a hard rock&rsquo; performer in his days with Ottawa and later Montreal Maroons.Noble, a durable hockey star, played with the old Toronto Arenas in 1916 and Toronto St. Pats before the late Cecil Hart brought him to Montreal for the Maroons. Noble was always a high-scoring forward and once netted 28 goals in a season.Named as builders to the &lsquo;Hall&rsquo; were Frank Smith, president of the Toronto Hockey League for more than 50 years; Frank Ahearne of Ottawa; J. Ambrose O&rsquo;Brien of Pembroke, Ont., one of the founding fathers of the National Hockey Association and the Montreal Canadiens; Walter Brown, president of the Boston Bruins, the Boston Celtics and for more than 25 years associated with U.S. amateur hockey; Fred Hume, former mayor of Vancouver, B.C.. and Jim Norris, owner of the Chicago Black Hawks.The inclusion of Mike Rodden, presently a Kingston newspaper columnist, as a former referee marks the second year the &lsquo;Hall&rsquo; has paid tribute to its game officials. Last year referees Mickey Ion, Cooper Smeaton and the late Chancer Elliott were selected.The Hall of Fame now includes 70 players, 28 builders and four referees. &#9632;

He would skate up to Goalie Vern Turner, then move out in front of the goal till Turner told him to stop&hellip;&lsquo;Right here&rsquo; he&rsquo;d holler and look back at the goalie.

Soble contends that splitting the games between east and west would create greater interest, draw larger crowds and restore the Memorial Cup to th national spectacle he feels it should be and no longer is. &ldquo;I can assure the CAHA that the increase in travel costs would be more than made up by the increase in gate receipts,&rdquo; Soblo stated.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-03275/1979866-1-eng-US/f0006-032.jpg" title="f0006-03" width="293" height="403"><figcaption class="caption-body">Andy Mulligan</figcaption></div> &#9632;

He was active with the old Chicago Shamrocks when they played in Chicago back in 1930-31 and 1931-32, winning the American Hockey League title in the latter season.With his father, they acquired the Detroit Red Wings in 1932-33 and in a very short time built them into a power in the National Hockey League.Three times under the Norris ownership&mdash;1935-36, 1936-37 and 1942-43&mdash;the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup.It was during the long span with the Red Wings that young Jim either signed or helped develop such players as Sid Abel, Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay, Red Kelly, Black Jack Stewart, and many more.Jim Norris, along with his partner, Arthur M. Wirtz, took over the Black Hawks in 1946, and built the Chicago franchise into one of the most valued in hockey. The rebuilding program in Chicago is following the same design that was so successful in Detroit. &#9632;

The skeletons were still in the seats of the aircraft, held in place by seat belts.A lands and forests official said in Toronto there could be no doubt that the two skeletons were the remains of Barilko and Dr. Hudson.Letters of the plane&rsquo;s registration number&mdash;CFXT&mdash;were clearly identified, he said.The original air search was the biggest in Canadian history, covering 106,000 square miles and costing $385,000. It involved more than 1,345 hours of flying time by 17 planes.The summer disappearance of Barilko in 1951 had stunned the sports world. It also nipped a great hockey career. Although Bill had already been a member of three previous cup winning teams at the time of his death, he was just coming into his own in the ensuing years as a scorer, too.Barilko counted nine goals in his final year but the one that still stands out in hockey minds everywhere was when he shot the winning goal for the Leafs at 2.53 of the first overtime period in Toronto to beat the Canadiens 3-2 and give the Leafs the cup.As long as hockey is recalled, they&rsquo;ll always remember Bill Barilko&rsquo;s dramatic last goal. &#9632;

VANCOUVER, B.C.&mdash;Handy Andy Bathgate and big Babe Pratt made the big hits in the 12th annual hockey golf tournament here at Fraserview.Bathgate, New York Rangers&rsquo; all-star winger, won the gross title for the fourth time with a methodical 74.The Babe, loquacious and colorful as ever with his after dinner quips, won a prize for the longest drive of the year.Members of Babe&rsquo;s foursome, and many other of the 110 entrants, loudly disputed the length of Pratt&rsquo;s prodigious poke.One claimed that Babe hired a fore-caddy to slip unnoticed out of the woods and kick Pratt&rsquo;s drive ahead 50 yards.&ldquo;Aw, he only kicked it 25 yards. Babe&rsquo; answered. &#9632;

MONTREAL, Que.Conn Smythe, recently retired governor of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the only person to be elected a life governor of the National Hockey League, was presented with a sterling silver tray at a private dinner party hosted by Senator Hartland deM. Molson, president of the Montreal Canadiens, during the NHL summer meetings. Attending were the owners-governors of the league.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-04229/1980132-1-eng-US/f0005-042.jpg" title="f0005-04" width="292" height="435"><figcaption class="caption-body">Conn Smythe</figcaption></div>Smythe, who had been N.H.L. governor of the Maple Leafs since February 14, 1927, retired from that position on February 8, 1962, after a term of 35 years. He was succeeded by his son, C. Stafford Smythe.Hockey has been Smythe&rsquo;s life-blood through most of his 67 years. He has been an outstanding builder of the sport in every sense of the word. One of the prime forces that elevated professional hockey to the successful positon it now holds in the world of sport was the driving, dynamic colorful personality of Conn Smythe. He saw professional hockey move up from the most humble of beginnings until today where it is recognized as one of the greatest and most successful professional sports in the world. The 1961-62 season was the most successful in the history of the National League.During his tenure with the Maple Leafs Smythe managed the team to seven Stanley Cup championships. No one has managed more Stanley Cup winners. The Leafs finished in first place five times under his direction. Smythe is also credited with being the key person responsible for the erection and building of the ultrasmart and well-appointed Maple Leaf Gardens, known the breadth of Canada as &ldquo;The Showplace of the Nation&rdquo;. Even though the Gardens were opened in 1931 they still rate with the finest hockey arenas to be found anywhere in the world.When the National Hockey League pensions society was formed in 1947. Smythe served as a director during the first season of 1947-48. He was also the first chairman of the owners committee and served in that capacity from June, 1953 to May, 1957.One of the proudest moments in the hockey world took place last August when the Hockey Hall of Fame Building was officially opened at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. Conn Smythe was one of those who spoke at the official opening. It was most fitting because he played one of the most important roles in the building becoming a reality and not just a dream. For it was Smythe who acted as chairman of the building committee. Smythe himself was elected a member of the &lsquo;Hall&rsquo; and is in the builders section.Conn Smythe had a distinguished record in two wars and was severely wounded during the Second World War. He was discharged a Major in the Canadian Army. Smythe currently campaigns one of Canada&rsquo;s outstanding racing stables and one of his thoroughbreds, Caledon Beau, won the Queen&rsquo;s Plate in 1958.The inscription on the silver tray given Smythe read as follows: &ldquo;Presented to Conn Smythe by the member clubs of the National Hockey League upon the occasion of his retirement as governor representing Toronto Maple Leafs after thirty-five years of distinguished service and to mark his election by his fellow owners-governors as an honorary life governor of the league in grateful recognition of the many outstanding contributions which he has made to the welfare of the league and to the game of hockey.&rdquo;While Smythe is naturally pleased with the success he had enjoyed in the world of hockey and in horse racing circles, he is most proud of the part he has played in the rehabilitation of crippled children. He has been extremely active with the Ontario Society for Crippled Children.It wasn&rsquo;t very long ago that Conn Smythe told a Toronto reporter: &ldquo;You know a lot of people don&rsquo;t like me, they don&rsquo;t like what I do. But I know I&rsquo;ll be able to be put away with a smile on my face if I know that during the years I have left I&rsquo;ve helped a few crippled kids get a better chance to have a good run at life.&rdquo; &#9632;

CATHARINES, Ont.How does it feel, at 21 years of age, to be rated the world&rsquo;s outstanding hockey centre?Even Stan Mikita, who happens to fit into the above category, doesn&rsquo;t really know.Fame and considerable fortune have come to Stan Mikita who, as Stan Gvoth, was brought to St. Catharines from Czechoslovakia at nine years of age by his aunt and uncle Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mikita.Success in hockey, like all sports in which he participated, came relatively easy.At 11 years of age he was already a sports hero to his fellow public school students at Edith Cavell and, later at Victoria and Prince of Wales.He led the Legion Little National Hockey League in scoring one season and was acclaimed as one of the best all-round athletes&hellip;and a good student&hellip;during four years of high school.&ldquo;This I will say for Stan,&rdquo; said Collegiate Vice-principal Lome Chapman. &ldquo;He missed a lot of school because of hockey but when he attended he bore down just as much as he did playing hockey or football. I could say that had he been at school full time he would have been not just a good student but an excellent student.&rdquo;Mikita&rsquo;s sports potential was, and is, virtually unlimited.&mdash;His hockey prowss of course is well known.&mdash;He was contacted by two major league baseball teams for tryouts as a catcher.&mdash;He was a brilliant basketball player although he played this sport only briefly.&mdash;He played one game of bantam lacrosse in 1954, scoring eight of his club&rsquo;s 12 goals.&mdash;He is a senior-calibre player in softball.&mdash;He was an absolutely fearless football player, perhaps the outstanding boy in Niagara District circles during his years at the collegiate. (One afternoon the senior team was playing at Saltfleet. The Teepees were returning from a road trip and the bus left him off at the football field at half time. Mikita dressed, promptly scored a touchdown and led the Tricolors to victory.)&mdash;He is an eight to 10 handicap golfer, regularly plays the St. Catharines par 72 course in the high 70&rsquo;s.He played briefly, last year, with one of the St. Catharines teams in the Southern Ontario senior soccer league.Why does one boy excel in so many sports?Ash Morrison, who taught Stan for two years in public school perhaps has the answer.&ldquo;Stan had the most perfect co-ordination I have ever seen in an athlete,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;However he had more than that. He had determination. That&rsquo;s what makes the difference between a good athlete and an outstanding athlete.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-01498/1980163-1-eng-US/f0006-012.jpg" title="f0006-01" width="510" height="1392"><figcaption class="caption-body">Stan Mikita</figcaption></div>Mr. Morrison has many vivid memories of Stan during his public school days which, after all, were not so very long ago.&ldquo;Stan was the chief reason we won the senior public school championship at Victoria when he was in Grade 7,&rdquo; recalls the sports-enthusiast principal.&ldquo;The following year (1953). I was transferred to Prince of Wales and I thought that Stan would be attending Queen Mary. (Victoria at that time did not have a Grade 8.)&ldquo;You can imagine my amazement when I walked to the front of my class opening day and there was Stan grinning at me in a front seat. &lsquo;How is it that you are here?&rsquo; I asked. We moved during the summer, answered Stan, &lsquo;so I&rsquo;m back to bother you again.&rsquo; As soon as I saw Stan there I knew the senior hockey, softball and soccer championships would be at Prince of Wales.&rdquo;Mr. Morrison was correct The senior hockey, softball and soccer titles were won by Prince of Wales and Mikita was, of course, the leading light in each sport.&ldquo;Stan was a tough competitor,&rdquo; says Mr. Morrison. &ldquo;Some thought he was rough. I never did. He just gave his all, all the time.&rdquo;Then there was the time (1952) that the Montreal Canadiens played an exhibition game in St. Catharines.Frank Selke, a good friend of Ash Morrison, asked Jay MacDonald where he could contact the St. Catharines teacher.He was told that Mr. Morrison was at Victoria and Selke promptly took the entire team to the Niagara St. school.&ldquo;Bernie Geoffrion made a short speech in his broken English to the students who we had assembled in the hall,&rdquo; said Ashton.&ldquo;Then Mr. Selke asked if there were any players we&rsquo;d like to trade from the Victoria team in exchange for one of the Canadiens. I told him that there were a few we could use for our senior team, such as Geoffrion, Rocket Richard and Doug Harvey. But under no circum-stances would I let them have 12-year-old Stan Mikita.&ldquo;Frank probably thought I was kidding. He of course was spoofing the youngsters and the teachers. But I ean tell you I was dead serious.&rdquo;Frank Selke probably doesn&rsquo;t realize just how close he came to &ldquo;acquiring&rdquo; the future National League allstar centre.Now just eight years out of public school and three years away from an outstanding sojourn with the St. Catharines Teepees, Stan&rsquo;s salary and bonuses passed $20,000 last year.He has already set one National League record&hellip;most points (21) in a playoff series.Because he does so many things so well Gump Worsley, New York Ranger goaltender, ranks him as the most dangerous player in hockey. &#9632;

Mikita Dynamic Performer, Co-Ordination Said Perfect

TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;The Toronto Maple Leafs had to bid high to secure the services of Kent Douglas, the top defenceman in the American Hockey League last season.In fact, the Blues had to outbid the other five NHL clubs for DouglasThe 26-year-old rearguard was acquired from the Springfield Indians in a five-for-one trade, a deal that delighted manager-coach Punch Imlach of the Stanley Cup champions.&ldquo;We&rsquo;re really pleased to be able to get Douglas. Every other club in the NHL would have liked to get him.&rdquo; said Imlach, who disclosed that Springfield owner Eddie Shore had placed a $50,000 tag on his all-star defenceman.It seems Douglas had been ignored in the past because of his tendency to display his temper on the ice. But Douglas himself believes all that is behind him now and that he has learned to control his anger. The big blue-liner was still the most penalized player on the Springfield club last year with 151 minutes.Imlach said he wasn&rsquo;t worried about Douglas&rsquo; fiery ways. &ldquo;We like our defenceman to be aggressive. We just don&rsquo;t want them to take needless penalties, that&rsquo;s all.&rdquo;The Leafs gave up five minor leaguers for Douglas, who swept the board in the American League last season winning a first all-star team berth and the Eddie Shore plaque as the outstanding defenceman of the year.Toronto sent four defencemen&mdash;Roger Cote, 23, Bill White, 22, Jim Wilcox, 21, and Dick Mattiusi, 24, and centre Wally Boyer, 24,&mdash;to Springfield as payment for Douglas.Only Wilcox did not perform in the American League last season. He was with San Francisco of the Western League. Cote, White and Boyer toiled with Rochester while Mattiusi was with Pittsburgh.Born in Cobalt, Ont., the aggressive Douglas emerged as the highest scoring defenceman in the AHL last year with 18 goals and 21 assists in 59 games for the Indians. The fiery star was also the Indians&rsquo; most penalized player with 151 minutes.Douglas&rsquo; ability to put the puck in the net attracted his attention to the NHL clubs. In three and a half seasons with Springfield, he has rapped in a total of 40 goals and has a pro career high of 65 since jumping from amateur ranks in 1955-56.The lanky rearguard will likely become the Leafs&rsquo; fifth defenceman next season instead of Bud Hillman and Al Arbour, who will probably wind up in the minors.<h2>In Demand</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-02379/1980194-1-eng-US/f0006-022.jpg" title="f0006-02" width="510" height="1160"><figcaption class="caption-body">Kent Douglas</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Some 120 guests, including Conn Smythe, past president of the Leafs, attended the wedding.</figcaption></div>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;The National Hockey League club owners have given their players more incentive to win individual awards in the future&mdash;$31,000 worth to be precise.The league announced that effective next season prize money for player awards and all-star selections will be doubled what it was in the past.All a player has to do to fill his pockets is to lead the voting for each half of the season in the balloting for the Byng, Hart, Norris, Calder and Ross trophies and the all-star teams.At present, the cash awards are based only on the over-all voting for the entire season, with no prize money alloted each half-season.Total distribution will be $31,000, instead of $15,500.Leaders for the various awards at the half-way mark of the season will receive $500 and the runner-up $250. The same amounts will go to leaders in the second half.The over-all winner will receive $1,000, and the runner-up $500, as at present. There is no runner-up money in the case of the Hart, Byng, Calder and Norris trophies.Under the new plan a player can receive $2,000 for one particular award&mdash;&bull; if he leads the voting in both halves of the season and, consequently, the over-all vote.At the half-way mark last season, five players who were leading for positions on either the first or second all-star teams failed to get enough votes in the second half to place in the over-all voting.Under the system that has been in effect members on the first all-star team get $1,000 and members on the second team $500.The new scale will apply to the Art Ross scoring trophy. The players ranking one-two in scoring at the end of the first half of the season will receive $500 and $250 respectively. So will the top two scorers in the final 35 games. The overall leaders still will receive $1,000 for finishing first and $500 as runnerup.<h2>Sharing The Wealth &#9632;</h2>

Clubs Raise Cash Prizes For NHL Player Awards

<div class="byline">BY JIM PROUDFOOT</div>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;Dave Keon has become the youngest player ever to win the J. P. Bickell Memorial trophy, awarded by the directors of Maple Leaf Gardens any time they think some Leaf player has been so outstanding he deserves special recognition.Keon, 22, has completed his second season in the National Hockey League.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02414/1980256-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="483" height="834"><figcaption class="caption-body">Dave Keon</figcaption></div>He was singled out at a meeting of the Gardens directors and the reasons are obvious.During the 1961-62 season, which Leafs climaxed by capturing the Stanley Cup, Keon scored 26 goals, added 35 assists and received the Lady Byng trophy as the NHL player best combining effective play with sportsmanship. He served one minor penalty in 64 games.Keon also was named to the centre position on the second all-star team, finishing only a few votes behind the first-string choice, Stan Mikita.The trophy, kept on display in the Maple Leaf Gardens lobby, was presented by the Gardens in memory of the late J. P. Bickell, who was MLG president from its opening in 1931 until 1937, chairman of the board for 11 succeeding years, and a director until his death in 1951.Terms of the award are that it shall be given to a Leaf player &ldquo;at such times and for such merits as may be designated and determined by the board of directors of Maple Leaf Gardens.&rdquo;The trophy was not awarded in 1957 or 1958. when Leafs failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs.Winners have been: 1953, Ted Kennedy: 1954, Harry Lumley: 1955, Ted Kennedy; 1956, Tod Sloan; 1959, George Armstrong and Bob Pulford; 1960, Johnny Bower; 1961; Red Kelly.For two big-league seasons, Keon&rsquo;s totals now read 46 goals, 60 assists. He turned professional in 1960, after a brilliant career in junior hockey with St. Michael&rsquo;s College.Keon is married and the father of two. &#9632;

New NHL rule will restrict Hall and other goalkeepers from going past their own blueline in this situation in the future.</figcaption></div>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;The National Hockey League took steps at its summer meetings to curb goalkeepers wandering on delayed penalties, lengthened the distance between centremen for faceoffs and added a little &lsquo;glamor&rsquo; to the penalty shot among several changes made by the rules committee.In an effort to restrict the area in which a goalie may manoeuvre during a delayed penalty the league declared that the net-minder may skate only as far out as his own blueline or in case of substitution, go directly to the bench.It was felt that there would be less chance for injury by changing the rule, which last year actually allowed the goalkeeper to become a sixth forward.The new rule for the penalty-shot will allow the shooter to start from centre ice spot instead of from the defending team&rsquo;s blue line. He will be allowed to skate freely during his windup but must go straight in once he crosses the blue line.Rules for end-zone face-offs were altered to make the distance between the facing-off players nine feet instead of seven. It was pointed out that the players involved in face-offs had too much room to interfere with their sticks. &#9632;

New NHL Rule To Curb Coalers Wanderings On A Delaved Penalty

BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;The National Hockey League goal judge would do his judging from a position above and behind the goalkeeper, if a veteran hockey official here had his way.The NHL goal judge works under a sizeable handicap because of his unfavorable location, in the opinion of Anthony Nota.&ldquo;The best position for a goal judge,&rdquo; said Nota, who occupies the position at Bruins&rsquo; games at Boston Garden, &ldquo;would be a spot behind the goalkeeper and a foot or two above his head.&ldquo;From such a position the goal judge would be able to look down into the net and avoid most of the screens we all run into now.&rdquo;Nota lists the net itself as a screen, saying, &ldquo;The netting is heavy. I have urged people to try sitting in the goal judge&rsquo;s seat in practice here and try the job. They&rsquo;ve been surprised how much the view can be distorted by the strings.&rdquo;Nota. a leading football, basketball and baseball official in addition to his hockey ranking, cites goalkeepers and players as other frequent obstructions to a goal judge&rsquo;s view.<h2>TOO MANY SCREENS</h2>&ldquo;When a goalkeeper is sprawled along the goal line and the action is around him, his body can screen the judge completely,&rdquo; explained Tony. &ldquo;And some goalies screen when the action is farther away.&ldquo;Don Head, for example, used to stand up straight when the puck was down the ice. I would be following play on one side of the rink, then the next thing I knew it would have moved to the other side.&ldquo;Jacques Plante, on the other hand, works from a crouch and a goal judge can see practically the whole ace surface.&rdquo;Player pileups against the glass are another viewing hazard, according to Nota. Recalled Tony, &ldquo;One night I remember Bob Armstrong (Bruins) checking George Armstrong (Toronto) against the glass right in front of me.&ldquo;By the time I was able to twist around to see the net, Toronto had a goal. I looked at Red Storey, who was the referee, and he gave me a quick nod. If he hadn&rsquo;t, there wouldn&rsquo;t have been any light on that particular goal.&rdquo;There have been disputes here in recent years over shots which have or have not struck the netting and rebounded out of the net nearly as quickly as they have entered. Nota suggests that the upper portion of the netting be loosened to eliminate the fast rebounds. He would also like to see more straight lines to the back of the net to provide angle caroms which would be more easily seen.The goal judge, thinks Tony, should take his time and be sure of his decision before putting on the scoring light. He points out, &ldquo;The only time there&rsquo;s any reason to hurry is in the last 10 seconds of a period. The goal light must go on before the green timing light or it cannot be put on.&rdquo;Being an NHL goal judge is largely a labor of love, for the tangible return is minute. Goal judges here receive two tickets for each Bruins&rsquo; game and token checks at the end of the season.All the Bruins&rsquo; goal judges are men with extensive sports backgrounds.Bill Cleary, director of recreation for the City of Cambridge, is a former NHL referee and father of two noted amateur hockey players, Bill and Bob Cleary.Segmour &ldquo;Sonny&rdquo; Hunter, a wholesale coffee salesman, played many years of amateur hockey and during World War II he was a member of the crack Curtis Bay Coast Guard team which also included Frank Brimsek, Eddie Barry and Johnny Mariucci.Ben Bertini, a former baseball player, is trainer of Boston College&rsquo;s athletic teams and served as trainer for the champion 1960 United States Olympic hockey team as well as a number of other United States teams in international competition.The Bruins&rsquo; goal judges are all conscientious workmen who combine efficiently with the NHL&rsquo;s crack referees. And if their lot is hard at times when they have to make decisions displeasing to crowds here, they&rsquo;re still better off than a Bruins&rsquo; clubhouse attendant who is a former goal judge.In the early days of hockey here Walter Randall was a judge, standing unprotected behind the goal at the old Boston Arena and waving a handkerchief when a goal was scored. One night a member of an opposing team scored a direct hit with a hard shot which struck Randall in the middle of the forehead. Later, before the swelling on Walter&rsquo;s head had subsided, wire netting was strung across the areas behind the goals. &#9632;

This won&rsquo;t change if a working agreement is reached with Baltimore.&rdquo;The 37-year-old McNab was let out of his contract as coach with the San Francisco Seals to accept the dual post with the Canucks.&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a wonderful opportunity for McNab and we can&rsquo;t stand in his way, although we&rsquo;re sorry to see him go,&rdquo; said Seals&rsquo; president Coley Hall.McNab, born in Watson, Sask., is a former Detroit Red Wings star. He had his early hockey experience with Saskatchewan Junior Quakers before joining Detroit and the National Hockey League in 1946.The rangy skater played with the Red Wings&rsquo; Stanley Cup team of 1949-50.Meanwhile, Patrick&rsquo;s statement was his first official commitment to go all the way backing the Canucks now owned by former mayor Fred Hume. Patrick originally bid to buy the Canucks from the Pacific National Exhibition with Hume but the Western Hockey League told Hume he had to go it alone.The Ranger pot will be spread thin with a Baltimore agreement and Baltimore spokesmen insist they have Patrick&rsquo;s promise.Baltimore team president Robert Embrey said &ldquo;We have an agreement with the Rangers for players. It is a verbal agreement and so far, we haven&rsquo;t detailed it. But the Rangers have been very close to us through all our efforts to get into the league and I am confident they will help us a lot with players.&rdquo;It had been reported the Ranger-Springfield tie-up had not been renewed. &#9632;

QUEBEC CITY. Que.The Quebec Aces, the best drawing card in the American Hockey League last season, are making a determined effort to get a winner for their faithful home town fans.After finishing out of the playoffs for two straight years, the Aees have reached the point where they must produce to keep spectator enthusiasm at its present peak.To meet the crisis, the Quebec club signed coach Floyd Curry again and announced the acquisition of five new players who are expected to make the Aces a contender in 1962-63.The Quebecers purchased three players from the Montreal Canadiens, who loaned them to Cleveland Barons last season for the year. They are forwards Ron Atwell, 27, and Bill Sutherland, 27, and defenceman Gary Bergman, 23.The Aces also got Bob Courcy from the Chicago Black Hawks and Bill Dineen from Toronto in recent weeks. Both are forwards. Courcy played with the Hawks&rsquo; Buffalo and Sault Ste. Marie farm elubs last year and Dineen performed with Rochester.The 37-year-old Curry will be starting his second year at the helm of the Aces and it is ex-pected the axe will swing on at least a half dozen of last year&rsquo;s players who will not return.Curry will have Goalie Charlie Hodge and top scorer Skippy Burchell back as a neucleus with his five newcomers but the fate of the rest of the Aces will not be known for a few weeks.The Aces are reportedly trying to pry defenceman Bob Wilson away from the Black Hawks and are anxious to get Camille Henry from the Rangers, if the diminutive winger plays in the minors this season.<h2>Coach Back</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-01468/1980511-1-eng-US/f0009-012.jpg" title="f0009-01" width="552" height="577"><figcaption class="caption-body">Floyd Curry</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Aces To Build AHL Contender With New Faces

<div class="byline">BY STAN FISCHLER</div>NEW YORK, N.Y.Still bubbling giddily over their most successful money year sinee the war, American Hockey League officials predicted that 1962-63 would be even greener lettuce-wise.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-02442/1980542-1-eng-US/f0009-022.jpg" title="f0009-02" width="286" height="447"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jim Ellery</figcaption></div>Jim Ellery, secretary-treasurer of the energetic loop, told the HOCKEY NEWS that the AHL netted $2,300,000 during the past season and that every team improved financially over the previous year.&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t see why 1962-63 can&rsquo;t be better,&rdquo; Ellery enthused.The optimism is partly anchored by the entry of a new Baltimore franchise into the circuit.With final plans now definite, the league is pondering a 72-game schedule which would include Baltimore in a nine-club set-up. Last year each team played only 70 games.&ldquo;Actually.&rdquo; Ellery admitted, &ldquo;the only thing that held up approval of Baltimore was a definite date when the building would be ready.&rdquo;The Baltimore team, to be operated by Zanvyl Kreiger and Robert C. &ldquo;Jake&rdquo; Embry, would play in a new 12,000-seat ice palace now under construction in the Maryland city.&ldquo;They say it will be ready by November 1st,&rdquo; Ellery revealed, &ldquo;but a strike could delay it past that date. What we have to figure out is some alternate provisions if the building is delayed past November.&rdquo;As yet no name has been chosen for the new club which will be the first professional hockey team for Baltimore since 1956 when fire destroyed Carlin&rsquo;s Park and cost Baltimore Clippers of the Eastern League a home rink. The Clippers&rsquo; Eastern League franchise then moved to Charlotte, N.C.The Baltimore AHL entry will need to assemble player talent from the ground up, but it is understood negotiations already are well along for a working agreement with New York Rangers of the National Hockey League.In the meantime, a number of changes are expected in the AHL picture.One of the most significant, unless current signs fail, will be the disposal of some Springfield Indian players by Eddie Shore, owner of the Indians.Earlier this Spring Shore attempted to move his franchise to Baltimore but the AHL nixed the switch.&ldquo;We want to keep a club in Springfield,&rdquo; Ellery explained. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s too good a hockey town to lose.&rdquo;One city thought lost for a while was Rochester whose fans had not exactly been tearing down turnstiles trying to get in.&ldquo;Rochester,&rdquo; said Ellery, &ldquo;will definitely be back.&rdquo;Ellery&rsquo;s optimism for 62-63 has its roots in the hope that the AHL achieves more balance that it did last year when Springfield blitzed most of the league&mdash;except for Cleveland&mdash;and newcomer Pittsburgh was a dreadfully inept entrant.The expectation is that Shore&rsquo;s trades will neutralize Springfield, Baltimore will be beefed up by a Ranger working agreement and a new link with Detroit will bolster Pittsburgh. &#9632;

Y.&mdash;The possibility of the Hull-Ottawa Canadiens, a farm club of the Montreal Canadiens, entering the American Hockey League this season as a 10th team, failed to materialize as the league wound up its annual meeting.The Canadiens, entered in the financially-embarrassed Eastern Professional Hockey League, did not make an application as the deadline for new teams passed.Secretary-treasurer Jim Ellery of the AHL said Canadiens did not send a representative to the final meeting or forward a $10,000 check for admittance fee.Canadiens had sat in on earlier AHL meetings but Sam Pollock, the team&rsquo;s manager said the club &ldquo;had only made inquiries and did not make a formal application&rdquo;. Pollock said he was merely protecting the Canadiens in the event the EPHL did not operate this year. &#9632;

Eastern Hockey League Season, Playoff Records 1961-62

CALGARY, Alta.&mdash;Has the exciting hockey career of 30-year-old Fred Hucul been terminated?That&rsquo;s the question everyone connected with the Calgary Stampeders of the Western Hockey League is asking of the Cowboys&rsquo; ice captain, who has decided he may have to devote all his time to ranching this winter instead of hockey.The Stampeder defenceman revealed he was quitting the pro game so that he could put more time into expanding his ranch at Caroline, Alta. At the same time he mentioned that he hoped to work out a deal with the Stampeders that would enable him to coach Red Deer Rustlers of the Central Alberta Hockey League.Latest developments, however, indicate that if Hucul is to have any active connection with hockey this winter, it will be with the Stampeders.For Freddie to become eligible to coach the Rustlers he would have to go on the voluntary retired list. It means he&rsquo;d have to be waived on by all teams in the Western Hockey League.The Stampeders, who own Hucul&rsquo;s contract, have stated they have no intention to place the Stampeder captain on waivers.Said coach Alf Pike, &ldquo;Nobody in his right mind is going to waive on a player of Freddie&rsquo;s calibre. If the Stampede board was to be generous and place him on waivers, probably every club in the league would bid for him. The waiver price is only $750 and Fred would be an outright steal at this price. The board members discussed the situation at length and decided it would be ridiculous to ask waivers for him.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-0969/1980756-1-eng-US/f0010-092.jpg" title="f0010-09" width="540" height="560"><figcaption class="caption-body">Fred Hucul</figcaption></div>Pike mentioned he discussed the affair with Hucul and asked him to give more thought to his hockey future. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d like him to reconsider. It&rsquo;s now strictly up to him. We&rsquo;ll invite him to the Stampeder camp in September but if he fails to report, we&rsquo;ll have no alternative but to suspend him.&rdquo;The Stampeders, meanwhile, have secured the services of two former NHL players, Leu Lunde and Jack McKenzie, as payment for Doug Barkley, all-star defenceman last year who was traded to Detroit by the parent Chicago Black Hawks. Both have performed in the Western League in past years. &#9632;

Wismer, president of the Port Huron Hockey Club, hired Gallagher as his general manager, when given the &ldquo;greenlight&rsquo; for an IHL franchise.When notified that the Toledo and Indianapolis franchises would not operate for the 1962-63 season, the loop&rsquo;s Board of Governors voted to put all the players into a draft-pool.At the league&rsquo;s annual meeting here, Port Huron received top picks in the inter-league draft. Gallagher, and his coach, Edgar &ldquo;Chirp&rdquo; Brenchley, did the selecting for Port Huron.Seven pucksters (Dick Carpenter, Al Cleary, Ken Gribbon, Norm Jacques, Guy James, Lou Kazowski and Gerry Moore) were added from Toledo, while four of the top men from the Indianapolis club (Sid Garant, Marcel Goyette, Lloyd Maxfield and Grant Morton) were grabbed. Also drafted by Port Huron were Ron Baryluk from Ft. Wayne and Minneapolis&rsquo; Laurie Langrell.&ldquo;The men we drafted will give us the nucleus of a fine hockey club&rdquo;, said Gallagher. &ldquo;With the help we&rsquo;ll be getting from the Detroit Red Wing organization, I&rsquo;m sure Chirp (Brenchley) will mold together a good hockey club.&rdquo;In other drafting, Ft. Wayne got Roger Maisonneuve and Walter Bradley (Toledo), and Bobby Rivard and Chuck Adamson (Indianapolis). Omaha picked Gordie Cowan of Toledo, Minneapolis received Terry McGuire (Toledo) and St. Paul, Jean Therrien (Indianapolis).Andy Mulligan, long-time associate of the Toledo hockey program, was elected commissioner of the circuit, replacing Gallagher.

Chicago also had the same intentions after absorbing a box office pasting at Sault Ste. Marie.The NHL turnabout made a greying Ottawa lawyer, John Urie, a happy man. Urie doubles as league president.&ldquo;The future looks brighter now,&rdquo; he said in a terse statement.During the recent Montreal pro hockey meetings, the NHL turned thumbs down on an EPHL proposal that the big league clubs should underwrite the minor league&rsquo;s losses.Detroit, which operated the Sudbury team at a considerable deficit, Rangers and Chicago. were the principal instigators of the move. In an about face, the NHL teams came back and decided to lend the EPHL a helping hand with the equalization of losses plan the key.Now the EPHL must sit back and wait for the NHL owners to lend their approval or disapproval before planning for next season, but at least the prospects look encouraging.Urie said there had been talk of relocating some of the teams but that nothing definite was decided. He said it is possible that all six teams will play next season in the same cities as last year.A strong supporter of the share-the-losses plan and the EPHL itself is NHL President Clarence Campbell.He praised the EPHL as a valuable training ground for young hockey players and said this is the most important function of the league.Of all the problems besetting the EPHL the main one seems to be dwindling gate receipts and increased expenses in some areas.There has been a plan proposed to cut expenses by imposing an age limit on players to do away with older players drawing higher salaries but with little or no chance of making the NHL.<h2>Ice Chiefs Hold Powwow &#9632;</h2>

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.&mdash;Hockey is making deeper inroads into the south this season with the inclusion of Nashville, Tenn., and Jacksonville, Fla., into the Eastern Hockey League.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/c0004-0222/1981028-1-eng-US/c0004-022.jpg" title="C0004-02" width="300" height="434"><figcaption class="caption-body">Rav Miron</figcaption></div>Rav Miron, general manager of the Knoxville Knights, said that the &ldquo;south is going big for the game&rdquo; which has enabled the league to expand as it has this year.The inclusion of the two new cities raises the loop&rsquo;s count to 10 entries, with a northern and southern division planned.The addition of Nashville and Jacksonville will give the South&rsquo; section five teams with Knoxville, Charlotte and Greensboro also in. The Northern division will include New Haven, Johnstown, Long Island, Clinton and Philadelphia.Miron says the schedule plan calls for each division team to play one another six times within its section and an interlocking four games&mdash;two at home and two away&mdash;against the other division for an overall 68 games per team slate.The EHL will not only be the largest hockey circuit in the U.S. this year but it will also be the most far-flung of any with teams travelling from southerly Jacksonville, Fla., to northerly Long Island, N.Y. for games.Miron believes that the league will enjoy another banner season. &ldquo;We averaged 5,000 attendance last season,&rdquo; said the former Cornwall. Ont., promoter, who has built the Knoxville franchise into a first class business enterprise in less than two years. Miron said the Knights have $24,000 worth of season tickets in their till up until the month of May.Another booster for the southern hockey swing is Steve Brklacich, who will coach the new Nashville club. Brklacich. who was player-coach of four winning Johnstown teams, said Nashville has a spanking new five million dollar rink and it will seat 8,000.Both Miron and Brklacich are confident the EHL is headed for a big season both on and off the ice. &#9632;
