Gordon Realizing Schoolday Dreams Airing N.Y. Games
NEW YORK, N.Y.— “BATHGATE SHOOTS!” The voice mounts to a pulsating scream: “IT’S A GOAL!” As 100,000 fans sit glued to their crystal sets, Jim Gordon crouches over the WCBS microphone describing the action of a Ranger game at Madison Square Garden. And while he does it, he basks in the sunny world of a dream-come-true. A half-pint with a two-ton baritone, Gordon decided he wanted to be an announcer ever since his days at Grover Cleveland High School in Brooklyn. Jim admits his original motives were hardly of the highest order. “My teacher told me I could get out of school early one day a week if I joined the radio workshop,” Gordon chuckled. “Right then and there I decided I wanted to be an announcer.” The only thing that ever came close to…
Favorite Monarchs Spilled Adding Spice To Opening; Ex-Pro Kapusta New Coach
WINNIPEG, Man.— The Manitoba Junior Hockey league got away to a shocking start with the pre-season favorites taking something of a whacking from the have-nots. All of which means it is going to be a most entertaining season. Winnipeg Monarchs, picked to finish first, were dumped 4-2 by the upstart Braves, but General Manager Bill Addison of the Braves had warned us that the Tribe had a real fine club, regardless of what you may have read in the newspapers. The Braves lost 11 games by one goal last season but they have a number of outstanding returness, such as goalkeeper Rick Best, defencemen Ray Clearwater and Don Addison and a fine line of Kenny Cameron, Nobby Malinoski and Ron Taylor, as well as Terry Mancer and a 16-year-old 200-pound giant, Al…
Daugherty Has Worked 31 Years On Ottawa Minor Scene
OTTAWA, Ont.— Anonymity in the Twentieth Century, with all the media of information and propagation, is a virtual impossibility. Yet, it happens. E.A. (Eddie) Daugherty is an excellent case in point. There are few men in Canada who have done so much for small fry sport, particularly hockey, than the same Daugherty. Eddie’s stewardship, so far, has covered 31 years, and he’s looking forward to many more. To introduce this singular man, he is presently the secretary of the Ottawa Recreation Department, once called the Playgrounds Department. As such, he is the No. 2 man behind J.AIph Dulude, another longtime civic employee with the Recreation Department. It was back in 1931 that Daugherty first became involved in minor hockey promotion, and he’s been at it ever since in varying capacities. The list of youngsters who have…
Doug Mohns……Boston Bruins
It isn’t very often a defenseman gets a chance to lead the National Hockey League in scoring, but it happened last weekend as the NHL wound up its first week of hockey activity. Doug Mohns, the 29-year-old rearguard who is playing his ninth season in the big time with the Boston Bruins, broke out in the club’s first three games with three goals and two assists to take the lead in the point race along with Canadiens’ Henri Richard. Each has five points. Mohns came up with the tieing goal, a 25-foot golf shot that caught Chicago netminder Glenn Hall off stride and gave the Bruins a 2-2 draw with the Hawks on Boston ice. Mohns, who is such a versatile performer and a good skater that he has been employed both as…
