<div class="byline">By JACK BERRY</div><p>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>Sid Abel made changes in the Red Wings and changes in the training routine and the latter might be just as important as the personnel switches that sent the Wings flying away to the best start in the club&rsquo;s history.</p><p>Abel chopped the western exhibition tour down to six games and then spaced out three more exhibitions after the club returned from the west.</p><p>The changes gave the Wings a week to refine their offense and defense on Olympia ice before opening the season.</p><p>In the past, it had been the custom to schedule a dozen or more games out west and the time that wasn&rsquo;t spent in the rink was spent traveling.</p><p>It was a good public relations gesture, showing an NHL team to western fans but it was gruelling on the players.</p><p>&ldquo;When we started last season people thought we weren&rsquo;t in shape,&rdquo; Abel commented. &ldquo;I think we were in shape but we were tired.&rdquo;</p><p>Abel made another change in practice routine once the season opened. The Wings&rsquo; usual game schedule follows a Thursday, Saturday, Sunday pattern.</p><p>So Abel has given the club the day off on Mondays and Fridays.</p><p>There&rsquo;s an all-out two-hour workout on Tuesdays and just a light 40-minute skate in sweat clothes on Wednesdays.</p><p>The new formula has been acclaimed by the players and, looking at the Red Wing start, it has borne irrefutable results.</p><p>&ldquo;This way, they don&rsquo;t get tired of hockey,&rdquo; Abel said, &ldquo;and they&rsquo;ve got a lot of zip in the two-hour workout and I think we accomplish more that way instead of having an hour or 90 minute workout every day.&rdquo;</p><p>Abel also has gone back to a practice the Wings used two seasons ago &mdash; filming the home games which then are shown in team meetings.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Abel’s New Training Plan For Wings Paying Off

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div><p>NEW FORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>New York Rangers&rsquo; pre-season plans for ascending to the glorious upper echelon of the National Hockey League have at least temporarily been shelved for more prosaic problems such as finishing fourth.</p><p>What appeared in pre-season forecasting as a simple matter for the Rangers to settle comfortably in a playoff berth has turned into one of those throbbing struggles for survival.</p><p>Principle cause of such anguish for New Yorkers are the overexu-berant efforts of the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins.</p><p>If Rangers felt certain of anything it was the fact (sic) they were a better team than either Boston or Detroit, for no other reason than the 1961-62 final standings.</p><p>Last season the Rangers startled everybody, including themselves, with a burst from the wire that provided them with a solid cushion for the greater part of the season.</p><p>Bruins were never any problem. And when Detroit made threatening gestures late in the season, the Blues had enough left to capture a playoff berth.</p><p>This year the script has been altered &mdash; Detroit got the fat lead &mdash; and Broadway prophets are wondering whether the Rangers have the ability to overcome the lead.</p><p>Another problem will be the Bruins. Intelligence reports leaking out of Boston reveal that Phil Watson has instructed his Bruins to treat every contest with the Rangers &ldquo;as if it&rsquo;s a World Series game.&rdquo;</p><p>That Watson was not jesting was amply proven on Sunday, Nov. 4th when Ted Green, the Bruins&rsquo; offensive defensemen, mauled Andy Bathgate against the boards and proceeded to massage Andy with lefts and rights until Bathgate got the feeling he was adrift in a washing machine.</p><p>&ldquo;I had just made my shot,&rdquo; explained Andy, &ldquo;and my stick was behind me. I wasn&rsquo;t expecting anything. Green lifted my head against glass and it must have knocked me out.</p><p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t remember anything about what happened until I got to the dressing room.&rdquo;</p><p>Bathgate, in his daze, took time out to tongue-lash referee Art Skov, while Doug Harvey grabbed linesman George Hayes who he claimed was roping Bathgate. Green, Harvey claims, was roamir free. This intemperance also earned Harvey a misconduct.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-3018/2568724-1-eng-US/f0011-302.jpg" title="f0011-30" width="266" height="410"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>TED GREEN</b></p><p><b>&hellip;. Rough On Rangers.</b></p></figcaption></div><p>&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t hit Hayes or anything said Harvey, &ldquo;I just pulled him of He was holding Andy and Gree was free. That&rsquo;s not fair.&rdquo;</p><p>Green, it is recalled, was the same ragamuffin who instigated a fight with Larry Cahan last year at Madison Square Garden and woun up with his head heavily on it firmly underneath Cahan.</p><p>Obviously, terrible Ted is not much worried about the Blues, at least judging by his most recent explosion. If the Rangers are to avoid being pushed out of the rink, some observers believe that their &ldquo;policemen&rdquo; &mdash; Cahan and Al Langlois &mdash; will have to take disciplinary action against such as Green.</p><p>In the meantime, the Rangers themselves will be obliged to bite away at both the Red Wings and Bruins while the season is still young. If they lose Detroit now, catching them in March will be as easy as retiring Gordie Howe.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

The Best Hockey Guide Published

<p>KINGSTON, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Bruce Gamble has been told bluntly by Wren Blair that in his opinion he is too fat for the Eastern Professional Hockey League.</p><p>The fiery Blair, GM of the Kingston Frontenacs, warned the portly netminder that he would have to lose 20 pounds and promptly benched him until he wins his battle of the bulge.</p><p>Gamble, the former NHL goalkeeper with Boston Bruins, has been replaced by rookie Wayne Rutledge, a 20-year-old who made his pro debut a winning one, 3-1 against Syracuse and making it all the more difficult for Gamble to get his job back.</p><p>Blair was no annoyed at Gamble&rsquo;s play and attitude that he ordered him off the ice at a recent practice for letting an easy shot from blue line beat him.</p><p>Blair&rsquo;s actions were prompted by complaints from assistant coach Harry Sinden, who felt that Bruce wasn&rsquo;t trying in practice.</p><p>&ldquo;Bruce has given me the impression,&rdquo; said Blair, &ldquo;that he doesn&rsquo;t feel he has to work hard in practice. I feel that working hard in practice is as much a part of contractual obligation to the club as playing hard in games.</p><p>&ldquo;I am firmly of the opinion that you enventually play the way you practice and this could be a great deal of Bruce&rsquo;s trouble.</p><p>&ldquo;If he is going to play on this club,&rdquo; said Blair, &ldquo;he must be prepared to shoulder his fair share of the obligations in every department.&rdquo;</p><p>To show that he means business here is the vigorous schedule Blair has set up for Gamble; who now weighs 215 but scaled only 190 when he first came to the Bruins two years ago.</p><p>&ldquo;He must drop his weight to 195 by November 27,&rdquo; said Blair, &ldquo;or he will be taken off the payroll. Part of his obligation in being a professional thlete is to be in condition,&rdquo; said Blair, &ldquo;and Bruce certainly isn&rsquo;t in shape weighing 215 pounds.&rdquo;</p><p>When will Bruce get back in the nets?</p><p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know,&rdquo; said Blair. &ldquo;It depends on his attitude.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Goalie Sidelined After 503 Games

<div class="byline">By JIM PROUDFOOT</div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Punch Imlach had the needle into his Toronto Maple Leafs this past week and the results were utterly amazing.</p><p>The aroused Stanley Cup champions went out and won three games in a row and scored 15 goals doing it.</p><p>Imlach had been riffling through his vast psychological repertoire, pulling all sorts of rabbits out of his sorcerer&rsquo;s hat, even resorting to old gambits he&rsquo;s used before, in a desperate effort to get his team moving before it slips right out of contention.</p><p>There was the threat of fines to be imposed on laggards.</p><p>This didn&rsquo;t work because Imlach always is about to fine some player anyway and seldom does. Leafs hardly pay attention any more when he says : &ldquo;It&rsquo;ll cost you $50 if you don&rsquo;t do so-and-so.&rdquo;</p><p>His next gimmick invoked after a 7-3 loss to Detroit, was more successful.</p><p>On one of their rare free Sundays&rsquo; Imlach ordered his men out for a punishing 8 a.m. workout. This got them in a nasty mood.</p><p>Then, somehow, a story got around that Leafs were interested in making a trade. They were said to have listed four available chattels, Dick Duff, Eddie Shack, Ron Stewart and Billy Harris, and were supposed to be seeking a first-string centre, such as Boston&rsquo;s Don McKenney.</p><p>And who were the standouts? Harris, Stewart, Duff and Shack.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Early Practice, Trade Rumors Arouse Champs

<div class="byline">By FRED CEDERBERG</div><p><i>(As Seen In The Toronto Telegram)</i></p><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Maple Leaf Gardens president Stafford Smythe is a hockey radical when it comes to the NHL&rsquo;s present system of protected areas, sponsorships, protected lists and the other pseudo secret workings which go into developing pro hockey players&hellip; Staff wants a &ldquo;universal draft&rdquo; &hellip;</p><p>This would entail the member NHL clubs dropping all sponsorships and farm clubs, giving up on their protected lists and making every hockey player available for universal drafts as of 21 years of age.</p><p>&ldquo;The National Football League has it that way, although I realize all their prospects come out of the colleges, thus there&rsquo;s no need for extensive farm clubs.&rdquo;</p><p>Such a move would boost the NHL in two ways&hellip; First, it would really share the talent, wealth and put a permanent end to the Montreal-Toronto domination of the league; secondly, it would eliminate an annual outlay of from $200,000 upwards, the cost of a farm system.</p><p>Would the resulting withdrawal of pro sponsorship mean the end of the vast system of hockey leagues, especially the costly Junior A&rsquo;s?</p><p>&ldquo;Not at all,&rdquo; claims prexy Smythe. &ldquo;The kids will play hockey anyway. And that&rsquo;s whether or not we supply bundles of cash. And the better ones will go right on aiming for the NHL.&rdquo;</p><p>What are the chances of such legislation?</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;ll take time,&rdquo; replied Smythe, &ldquo;but it has to come. Take a look at the records, Montreal and Toronto clubs have won 14 of the last 19 Stanley Cups. And except for Chicago, the other three U.S. teams have only slim chances.</p><p>&ldquo;When the other owners get to see the picture correctly, they&rsquo;ll vote to change the rules.</p><p>&ldquo;Now, take that NFL. That league is jamming fans in the parks because the race is so unpredicable every season. Any club can move up to challenge because every pro prospect is available for draft there are no protected areas.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s about time the fans in Boston, New York and elsewhere got their chance to root home a Stanley Cup champ.

BEHIND the Cheering

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;</p><p>The stumbling start which the Bruins have made this fall cannot be attributed to the new boys in town.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03494/2567700-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="143" height="223"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 143px"><b>Warren Godfrey</b></figcaption></div><p>Bob Perreault &hellip;Wayne Hicks &hellip;Warren Godfrey &hellip;Guy Gendron &hellip;Irv Spencer &hellip;Ed Johnston &mdash; these are players who have been added to the Bruins since last spring. So far this fall they have conducted themselves competently.</p><p>Perreault and Johnston have both played goal for the Bruins, the 31-year-old Perreault more than big Johnston.</p><p>Godfrey has been playing defense regularly, Hicks, Gendron and Spencer taking regular turns as forwards.</p><p>Here is how they have impressed Lynn Patrick, Bruin&rsquo;s manager :</p><p>Perreault &mdash; &ldquo;He gave us a real lift with his great play in our early games. He could hardly be expected to continue at that pace, but he has done well. I wish we&rsquo;d gotten him years ago.&rdquo;</p><p>Johnston &mdash; &ldquo;He hasn&rsquo;t had too much chance to play so he has been under somewhat of a handicap, but I think he&rsquo;s going to be a helpful fellow to have around.&rdquo;</p><p>Godfrey &mdash; &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always cnsidered him a good defenseman and he&rsquo;s been every bit that this fall. He has given us a lot of good games.&rdquo;</p><p>Hicks &mdash; &ldquo;Probably the most consistent of our forwards. He has been doing such a good two-way job that I&rsquo;m starting to hear about him from people from other teams.&rdquo;</p><p>Gendron &mdash; &ldquo;We were hurt when he couldn&rsquo;t start the season (appendectomy) but he can put the puck in the net and I think he&rsquo;ll get quite a few goals for us.&rdquo;</p><p>Spencer &mdash; &ldquo;His change from defense to forward has been complicated by the fact that he hasn&rsquo;t been able to concentrate on one position. I think he can play left wing better than center, and I know he hustles.&rdquo;</p><p>Of which of his six new men had Patrick expected the most? The Bruins&rsquo; boss didn&rsquo;t hesitate to answer.</p><p>&ldquo;Godfrey,&rdquo; he replied, &ldquo;I feel I was lucky to get him. I thought I would have to settle for considerably less. He&rsquo;s not too fancy or flashy but he&rsquo;s big and experienced and he has been working hard.</p><p>&ldquo;And Gendron, too,&rdquo; added Patrick. &ldquo;He plays better here than he ever has any place else. The crowds like him and he obviously likes the Garden atmosphere. I bought him because I thought he&rsquo;d score well for us and I think he will.&rdquo;</p><p>And of which of his new boys had he expected the least? The question didn&rsquo;t faze Patrick.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;d have to say the goalkeepers,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;and not because I didn&rsquo;t think they were good goalkeepers. But no one can tell about a goalkeeper until he plays in the National Hockey League.</p><p>&ldquo;I hoped Perreault with his experience could do a workmanlike job, but I was just hoping. Now I&rsquo;m more confident that he can. It&rsquo;s still too early to tell much about Johnston but there&rsquo;s no reason why he shouldn&rsquo;t come along with experience.&rdquo;</p><p>A year ago at this time the Bruins were also icing a band of new boys, five of whom are now playing their second season here. The five are forwards Wayne Connelly, Tom Williams and Cliff Pennington and defensemen Pat Stapleton and Green.</p><p>How have the sophomores been faring this fall? As a group, just fair.</p><p>Pennington has been playing with more confidence, starting to show the finesse expected of him.</p><p>But Connelly hasn&rsquo;t been an impressive right wing and Williams hasn&rsquo;t been playing much.</p><p>Stapleton ranks number five when the Bruins have their full defense squad, and Green has been hampering himself to a degree by pressing.</p><p>All five have youth going for them, however.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

Read It Next Week In The Hockey News

<div class="byline">By JIM PROUDFOOT</div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>The seriousness of Maple Leaf&rsquo;s slump&mdash;six losses in their first 10 games&mdash;became evident last week when goalie Don Simmons was rushed in from the American League to replace Johnny Bower. Detroit Red Wings&rsquo; 7-3 win the previous Saturday had convinced coach Punch Imlach that Bower, 39-year-old Nov. 8, was due for a rest.</p><p>Unofficially, the job was given to Simmons for as long as he could keep it, suggesting that Bower&rsquo;s amazing career finally was at an end.</p><p>Leafs were contemplating further switches and Milt Schmidt, representing Boston Bruins, flew in for trade talks with a Don McKen-ney-for-Dick Duff swap tops on the agenda. Eddie Shack, Billy Harris and Ron Stewart also were on Leafs&rsquo; list of available personnel.</p><p>Leafs are known to be unhappy over Duff&rsquo;s play. At the same time, they need a centre now that Red Kelly&rsquo;s future is in the doubtful class. He has been playing badly all fall, apparently tired from his demanding schedule which finds him attending House of Commons sessions in Ottawa and participating in Leaf workouts and games. Kelly&rsquo;s wingers, Bob Nevin and Frank Mahovlich, have been affected, too.</p><p>But the first change had to be in goal. Bower seemed to be losing a split second on all his moves and no longer was capable of pulling Leafs through bad games, something he&rsquo;s been doing since 1958, when he was purchased from Cleveland Barons.</p><p>Perhaps a rest would cure him. Privately, Leaf bosses were doubtful.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Bower Destined For Long Rest Say Insiders

Douglas in the minor leagues, long after his contemporaries had won their big-league spurs. He was 26 before he was imported to NHL competition.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-03333/2567793-1-eng-US/f0003-032.jpg" title="f0003-03" width="205" height="211"></div><p>When Douglas learned to control his temper and trimmed his poundage from a fat 200 to a trim 170, he became the hottest commodity in hockey. Maple Leafs got him, by sending five players to Eddie Shore&rsquo;s Springield Indians, American League champions. Douglas, at home and at ease against major-league opposition, moved directly into a full-time job, on left defence beside Tim Horton.</p><p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s a cinch to be rookie of the year&rdquo;, coach Punch Imlach stated. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a good one. Right from the start, he&rsquo;s been so good I knew I couldn&rsquo;t keep him off the club. He moves the puck up the ice better than anybody else we have&rdquo;.</p><p>Douglas doesn&rsquo;t regret his prolonged minor-league apprenticeship, even though it cost him a couple of seasons at NHL salary rates.</p><p>He also feels he was fortunate to land on a team operated by Shore, one of the top defencemen in the history of hockey.</p><p>&ldquo;He taught me things about hockey nobody else had ever mentioned to me&rdquo;, Douglas says. &ldquo;For example, he emphasizes the importance of proper balance. Like you don&rsquo;t have to hit a man real hard &mdash; just get a piece of him. That does the job. And he showed me how you manoeuvre a man until he&rsquo;s off-balance. Then you take the puck away from him&rdquo;.</p><p>Douglas was adjudged the best defenceman in minor-league hockey last season. Leafs had plenty of competition for his services.</p><p>Douglas never realized he was too heavy until Shore pointed it out. Shore also discovered the reason. Douglas was consuming too many liquids. He wouldn&rsquo;t drink one glass of water; he&rsquo;d drink five or six. He reckoned his water consumption was hitting two and one-half gallons a day. When Shore advised him to dry out, his weight dropped quickly and his speed and stamina increased.</p><p>As for his temper, something he once was famous for, maturity mellowed him. He realized he&rsquo;d have to stay out of trouble if he wanted to last in the majors so he faced his first NHL season with determination not to let things get under his skin. He knew he&rsquo;d be the target for the NHL&rsquo;s most accomplished needlers and its most subtle hatchet men. But, being forewarned, he was forearmed.</p><p>&ldquo;Shore made me a waiter&rdquo;, Douglas explained. He showed me that if somebody does something to you, it&rsquo;s much better to let him take the penalty and then wait for your chance to get even&rdquo;.</p><p>At one time, Douglas was considered a hopeless case because of his hot-headedness. His tantrums were memorable and even referees weren&rsquo;t immune. He never waited to exact revenge; he got it immediately.</p><p>Leafs, who went to great lenghts to get Douglas away from the Detroit organization when he was 16, dumped him quickly, peddling him to Montreal Canadiens, who spotted him with their junior team at Kitchener, Ont. Canadiens unloaded him to Shore, who, as an independent minor-league operator, can&rsquo;t afford to be choosy about his personnel.</p><p>In five full seasons as a professional, Douglas has served 725 minutes, or more than 12 hours in penalties.

‘Tough Guy’ Douglas Getting Ahead Being Good

<p>MONTREAL, Que.</p><p>During the summer hockey meetings here the most popular name bandied about was that of Kent Douglas.</p><p>The 26-year-old defenceman had just &lsquo;swept the board&rsquo; in the American Hockey League with Springfield winning the Eddie Shore Plaque as the best rearguard, placing on the first all-star team and leading all AHL defenceman in goals with 18 and points with 59. Everyone was anxious to land Douglas.</p><p>Soon the bidding started but the Leafs had the big defenceman in their hip pocket as they outbid all five other NHL clubs to get him. They had to give up five players to Springfield.</p><p>The ironic part of the whole deal was that Douglas originally belonged to the Toronto club, but they gave up on him.</p><p>They paid dearly last summer for their impatience.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By BAZ O&#x2019;MEARA</div><p><i>(As Seen In The Montreal Star)</i></p><p>All sport lost a friend of long standing in the recent death of T. Franklyn Ahearn at Ottawa.</p><p>He was with J. Ambrose O&rsquo;Brien, a solid and practical backer of the Rough Riders, in the days when it was doubted that the club could be retained in Ottawa on a successful competitive basis with the richer teams of the Eastern Football Conference.</p><p>He was most noted, outside of his industrial interests, as the last owner of the famed Ottawa Senators hockey team in the thirties, an interest he had to relinquish when the Capital became too small to sustain the growing outlay essential to supporting an NHL club.</p><p>If there ever was a man who really epitomized a city in every way it was Frank Ahearn. He was the warp and woof of Ottawa. A contributor to all civic enterprises, he was constantly on call to aid sportive enterprises with talent, energy, and money.</p><p>He was the son of Thomas Ahearn, who among his industrial intimates was known as Tom Ottawa, because of his high regard for everything pertaining to the Capital, and his work in beautifying the city as a member of the Federal Improvement Commission.</p><p>Frank Ahearn turned to professional sport in the early twenties, largely because he wanted to replace the old ramshackle Dey&rsquo;s Arena with a modern rink, and also because he had an aversion to the phony amateurism that prevailed in so-called simon pure hockey ranks.</p><p>He had been active in promoting junior amateur hockey, had graduated as a patron to the senior amateur brand, where his benevolence was constantly on call to help balance swelling budgets necessitated by under the table advances to talented players.</p><h2><b>Tommy Gorman His Partner</b></h2><p>He became a director of the Ottawa Senators just before the end of the first war, and bought into the club in association with the late Tommy Gorman and the late Ted Dey. Dey was bought out and the Ottawa Auditorium, an artificial ice palace that was the foreunner of many well embellished establishments of a similar nature, was launched and completed. Its construction hastened the end of the array of fire trap rinks that dotted Canada at the time.</p><p>In 1924 he bought out Tommy Gorman, assuming sole ownership, and with the late Dave Gill as manager and coach, set about reinforcing an already strong team through the infusion of such outstanding talent as Hooley Smith, which was followed by the acquisition of the notable goaltender Alex Connell, and stalwart defencemen of the calibre of Allan Shields and Alex Smith.</p><p>He bolstered his forward line by acquiring Jack Adams from Toronto St. Pats, and added two dashing dervishes from Ottawa amateur ranks in Frank Finnigan and Hec Kilrea. These reinforcements ended the one year reign of Montreal Maroons, and he brought up Syd Howe, a junior who later established an impressive record with Detroit Red Wings.</p><p>Frank was a great judge of talent in the raw, and his bountiful purse prevailed for some years in keeping the Senators to the fore in big-time hockey. The depression halted his benevolence, and he was reluctantly obliged to deal off his stars, which he did with a series of sales that were outstanding at the time.</p><p>Hooley Smith was the first to go and commanded $22,500 and Punch Broadbent in exchange, when sold to Maroons. Jack Adams was sold to Detroit, and reluctantly he disposed of Finnigan and Kilrea to Toronto, Cy Denneny to Boston, George Boucher to Maroons in a deal for Joe Lamb, Frank Nighbor to Leafs and Alex Connell to Red Wings.</p><h2><b>In Hockey Hall Of Fame</b></h2><p>In time he disposed of his rink holdings, and in spite of shrewd deals and manoeuvres that helped to hold down losses his hockey ventures in all cost him some $200,000, a loss he never regretted.</p><p>He turned to politics and was twice a member of Parliament for Ottawa West. Later when football was foundering, he became a factor in Rough Rider affairs, a keen counsellor and advocate of all football causes, as well as a generous patron of those propositions.</p><p>He was elected to the International Hockey Hall of Fame last summer, and the selectors had hoped in the near future to present him with the coveted insignia of membership. Though he had many honors accorded him in various ways in his lifetime, he esteemed this distinction above all.</p><p>Frank was an affable man with a great sense of humor. He was a keen hockey executive, and it was his delight to cross swords with opponents in the NHL, and engage in repartee and manoeuvring, particularly in the days when it was the fashion of some clubs to gang up on what they considered the weak sister of the NHL organization.</p><p>This observer knew him in his early days, was associated with him when the Senators were in their prime, particularly in 1927, the last year that they won the Stanley Cup. He was a steadfast friend to many down the years. There will be mourning and regret at his passing. He had been ill of heart trouble for some years, and was only an occasional visitor to sport events. Sometimes he would call up old associates or they would visit him and he would recall the great days of his hockey associations. He was a man worth knowing, and this observer, like many others, has lost a constant friend.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hockey World Mourns Loss Of Ottawa’s Frank Ahearn

<div class="byline">By JOHN WALTER</div><p><i>(At Seen In The Detroit News)</i></p><p>DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;</p><p>When the Detroit Red Wings skate out on the Olympia ice, a tall young man with tanned complexion and blond hair that come from being constantly outdoors, occupies a seat close to the Wings&rsquo; bench.</p><p>The veteran players, Gordie Howe, Terry Sawchuk, Marcel Pronovost, Bill Gadsby, Norm Ullman, Alex Delvecchio, Vic Stasiuk, Allan Johnson, Bruce MacGregor, Pete Goegan, Vai Fonteyne, Parker MacDonald, and Howie Young all know him well.</p><p>Recruits Doug Barkley, Billy McNeill, Floyd Smith, Alex Faulkner, Larry Jeffrey and Dennis Riggin will get to know him better as the season progresses.</p><p>He is Bruce A. Norris, 38, president and co-owner of the Detroit hockey club and Detroit&rsquo;s Olympia with his two sisters, Mrs. Eleanor Keibler, of Lake Forest, Ill., and Mrs. Marguerite Riker, of Westen-brook Farms, of Southbury, Conn.</p><p>Bruce is starting his eighth year in that capacity and unlike some titular heads of organizations, he takes an active interest in his team, even to scouting players in the Red Wings&rsquo; extensive farm organization.</p><p>And for the first time in the 29 years the Norris family has sponsored the club (the father, James Norris, purchased the Wings in 1933), Bruce will not have the services of Jack Adams as manager.</p><p>Adams retired last April after 35 years with the Wings and Sid Abel assumed the combined title of manager-coach, just as Adams did for the first 20 years he served in the Detroit organization.</p><p>Now the responsibility for the success or failure falls on the shoulders of Abel and Bruce Norris.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01629/2567983-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="624" height="630"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>In a more serious moment, BRUCE NORRIS, right, discusses hockey with his coach and manager, SID ABEL, left, during an NHL meeting.</b></figcaption></div><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-02577/2567976-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg" title="f0005-02" width="1294" height="743"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>Hockey Profile</b></p><p><b>Detroit owner BRUCE NORRIS, right, takes to the Olympia ice on his skates whenever time permits for a workout. Here he gets set to fire puck at ex-Wing goaler HANK BASSEN, now in the minors. Norris is a former college player.</b></p></figcaption></div><p>While he spends considerable time away from Detroit, the tag of &ldquo;absentee ownership&rdquo; never can be hung on Norris. Bruce attends virtually every Red Wing home game, as well as many of those in other NHL cities. He goes to the dressing room before and after the games to talk with the players and Abel.</p><p>While he devotes considerable time to the Wings, he still has far heavier responsibilities. The 6-foot-5 Bruce is president, chairman of the board and treasurer of the Norris Grain Co. This is the multi-million dollar business built by his father. It includes cattle ranches, a railroad, grain elevators and a fleet of 25 lake freighters.</p><p>&ldquo;Is hockey my hobby? I would say no,&rdquo; says Bruce. &ldquo;It is big business these days. It might have been a hobby with my dad. We&rsquo;ve always been very proud of the Detroit organization and we&rsquo;re certainly going to continue making it one of the best in hockey.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Gordie Howe Fan</b></h2><p>&ldquo;I hope to keep Howe in our organization when he finally retires.&rdquo;</p><p>Bruce actually is a Chicagoan. That&rsquo;s where he was born Feb. 19,1924. His home is at Libertyville, Ill., a suburb just north of Chicago. He has a 500-acre farm there, chiefly devoted to 180 purebred Hereford cows.</p><p>The Norris Grain Co. headquarters are in the Chicago Board of Trade Building. He has an oak-paneled suite from which he directs three of the largest cattle ranches in the world, including 280,000 acres in Montana and 100,-000 acres near Ocala, Fla., besides spreads in Georgia and the Dakotas.</p><p>Bruce&rsquo;s fondness for hockey shows up in the names of the 25 ships operated by Upper Lake Shipping, Ltd. Newest of them is the Red Wing. 730 feet long, which set a record at Sandusky, O., on her maiden voyage by loading 24,020 tons of coal.</p><p>Last February Bruce sold 11 terminal grain elevators in four states with total capacity of near 12,000,000 bushels. Terms of the purchase were not announced. But John H. Daniels, who purchased them, said it was a &ldquo;multi-million dollar&rdquo; transaction.</p><p>Yet there&rsquo;s nothing Bruce detests more than being referred to as a multi-millionaire. He&rsquo;s not as flamboyant as his half brother, James D. Norris, president of the Chicago Black Hawks who was referred to as &ldquo;Young Jim&rdquo; as long as his father was living&rdquo;.</p><p>The brothers are very fond of each other. But when it comes to hockey, theirs is a hot, friendly rivalry.</p><p>&ldquo;I like to beat the Hawks more than anybody&rdquo;, says Bruce. &ldquo;I have to live over there (Chicago). Everybody gets on your back when the Hawks are winning and we (Detroit) are losing. So I like to win&rdquo;.</p><p>Bruce has been a hockey player over the years, too. He played on Yale University&rsquo;s hockey team as a defenseman. He also was on the track team. He was a consistent winner in the hammer throw in dual meets and once finished fourth in the IC4-A meet at Philadelphia. A knee injury suffered in hockey ended his days as a Yale athlete.</p><p>He still likes to get on his skates for an informal game at the Winter Club at Lake Forest, where his mother lives on a 40-acre estate.</p><p>Bruce had his first pair of skates when he was five. There was one thing every member of the Lake Forest household had to be able to do &mdash; skate. On weekends in the wintertime the senior Norris and the other members of the family played hockey on a pond near the house, with the chauffeur, butler, houseman and gateman filling in on the teams.</p><p>Bruce actually didn&rsquo;t see much of his brother Jim in his early days. Jim&rsquo;s mother died when he was only five years old and the senior Norris remarried. When Bruce was a year old, &ldquo;Young Jim&rdquo; was 19, attending Colgate, and al ready owned his own thoroughbred racing stable.</p><p>Bruce&rsquo;s attendance at Yale was interrupted by World War II. He enlisted in the V-12 program as an apprentice seaman, wound up as an ensign and an executive officer on a PT boat after attending midshipman school at Cornell and PT school at Melville, R.I.</p><p>His duty on PT boat No. 529 in the South Pacific was brief because of the ending of the war. It consisted mainly of patrol duty. Later he was put on minesweeping and finished his duty at the Miami Naval Air Station in the spring of 1946.</p><p>When he came out of the Navy he learned the grain and cattle business from the ground up. His dad sent him to the Norris Grain Co., office at St. Louis for two years. The first six months were spent in the elevator itself, as Bruce relates, &ldquo;shoveling a little grain and killing a few rats&rdquo; before he went into the office.</p><p>In 1949 his dad brought nim to the Chicago headquarters for nine months to get an insight into the Norris Cattle Co. Then he went to Ocala, Fla., to superintend the two ranches there. At the close of 1951, he moved back to Chicago to work in the central office again, supervising the cattle business as well as becoming active in the grain operation.</p><p>Bruce got his first taste of active participation in hockey management early in 1952 in St. Louis, where his father owned a part interest in the St. Louis Arena, home of the St. Louis Flyers. In December of that year, however, six days before his 74th birthday, James Norris died of a heart attack.</p><p>In the settlement of the estate, Bruce and his two sisters, Mrs. Keibler and Mrs. Riker, took over the Olympia and the Red Wings. The latter sister, Marguerite, served as president for the first year and a half and then Bruce was given charge and has been running the show ever since.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

But when he does go into the Mont-real net it appears safe to feel that Plante will come up with an Oscar performance.</p><p>Although Plante played only two of the Canadiens&rsquo; first dozen games this season, he drew more ink than all the rest of his teammates combined. His on-again, off-again ailments filled enough blank days for Montreal hockey writers in recent weeks to satisfy the scribes for the remainder of the season.</p><p>Downed by a combination of flu and asthma before and after the first game of the season &mdash; when Boston bombed Jacques and the Canadiens 5-0 &mdash; Plante&rsquo;s condition has been almost a day-to-day diary ever since. And he hit the big black type almost like the Cuban Crisis recently when it came time for him to return to the Montreal cage in place of under-study Cesare Maniago.</p><p>Two days before he was declared all ready to play again, Plante was hit by dizzy spells, the after affects of drugs he took for asthma and flu, and failed to make the original return engagement against New York. But immediately after that game &mdash; a 3-3 tie with Maniago in goal &mdash; Coach Toe Blake got word from the club medics that Jacques was okay and would be out for practice Monday morning.</p><p>Somehow Plante developed a cold in his insides and failed to make the workout &mdash; his absence nearly causing Blake to tear his hair out.</p><p>Came Tuesday, when the Habs held their big workout prior to a meeting with the unbeaten Detroit Red Wings, Jacques turned out to go 90 minutes without so much as a gasp from the asthma, a totter from the dizzy spells or a cough from the stomach cold.</p><p>It seemed sure that Plante was ready to go against the Red Wings two nights later. But Jacques, intentionally or otherwise as remarked earlier, wasn&rsquo;t too sure.</p><p>&ldquo;My timing is okay and I haven&rsquo;t got those dizzy spells any more,&rdquo; said Jake after the workout. &ldquo;But I was pretty tired out there. I&rsquo;ll have to wait another day to see how I feel.&rdquo;</p><p>Another day and the Habs still were uncertain whether Plante would play. Toe Blake cautiously remarked: &ldquo;We may make one change in our lineup against the Wings.&rdquo;</p><p>The game against the Wings is already history. Plante did play and was so hot in stopping 42 shots that Canadiens beat Detroit 4-1 and handed the Red Wings their first loss in 11 games. He was like the Plante of old, catching, diving and kicking out shots from all angles. It was as though he had planned it that way to silence the &ldquo;wolves&rdquo; at the Forum.</p><p>However, on one diving save off Gordie Howe, Plante strained himself and the play-or-not-to-play started all over again. He became a doubtful starter for the Saturday game against Chicago at the Forum.</p><p>First reports were that Plante had aggravated a groin injury he suffered in practice and that Maniago had been dressed halfway through the third period of the Detroit game.</p><p>However word from the Canadiens&rsquo; publicity office was different.</p><p>&ldquo;Plante has a pulled ham-string muscle at the back of his right leg,&rdquo; said Frank Selke Jr. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s an outside chance that he won&rsquo;t play.&rdquo;</p><p>Later the same Friday, Toe Blake still believed that the goalie had a groin injury.</p><p>&ldquo;But I think he&rsquo;ll be able to play,&rdquo; said the coach.</p><p>Still later that day, Jacques met a Montreal columnist and said &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think I&rsquo;ll be in the net against Boston.&rdquo;</p><p>And still later in a telephone talk with this writer, Jacques said:</p><p>&ldquo;I really don&rsquo;t know whether I&rsquo;ll be able to play or not. My leg is still taped and I don&rsquo;t dare try the splits for fear of making it worse.&rdquo;</p><p>The goalie wasn&rsquo;t sure of the nature of the injury, either.</p><p>&ldquo;It seems to be the groin but it&rsquo;s sore in a couple of places, I guess I&rsquo;ll know more about it after I see Bill Head in the morning.&rdquo;</p><p>Thus neither the Canadiens, the Hawks, Coach Toe Blake, the hockey writers, Montreal fans, nor Plante himself knew whether or not he was going to play the following night.</p><p>Everyone found out soon enough when he was forced out of the net against Chicago after one period. The uncertainty of Jacques Plante still left him as the finest showman of them all.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Little Bobby Rousseau of the Canadiens has discovered the hard way that winning the rookie award in the NHL sometimes makes a player a target of opposing teams the next year.</p><p>The 1961-62 Calder Cup winner started the current season off with a knee injury as the result of being checked into the boards by Toronto&rsquo;s Kent Douglas.</p><p>After missing several games, Rousseau came back and was knocked out of action again against Detroit as he aggravated the knee. Club officials said he would miss a few games.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hero’s Role Strange But Nice To Parker MacDonald

<div class="byline">BY HARRY MOLTER</div><p>CHICAGO. III.&mdash;</p><p>Oncs All-Star center Stan Mikita got back in action with the Chicago Black Hawks it didn&rsquo;t take him long to pick up where he left off last season.</p><p>The hustling, scrappy Mi-kita reached a peak in his third full National Hockey League season last year.</p><p>Although Bobby Hull&rsquo;s 50-goal season provided much of the individual excitement last year, it was Mikita who was Chicago&rsquo;s most consistent performer. During the first half of the season when the defending Stanley Cup champions stumbled along in fourth and fifth place, only Mikita and defenseman Jack Evans, along with goalie Glenn Hall, played up to expectations.</p><p>By season&rsquo;s end Mikita was selected the All-Star first team center, tied Gordie Howe of Detroit for third in NHL scoring with 25 goals and 52 assists, and set two NHL records in the Stanley Cup playoffs &mdash; most total points, 21; and most assists, 15.</p><p>At the age of 21 (he turned 22 last May), the Czech-born Mikita was one of the best playmakers, puck-carriers and scorers In the NHL.</p><p>The big question this year remained &mdash; was last year a flash or would Mikita continue as one of the NHL&rsquo;s top performers?</p><p>Stan injured his ankle at the end of the exhibition season this fall and missed not only the NHL All-Star game but Chicago&rsquo;s first six regular season contests.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01689/2568166-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="625" height="1018"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>STAN MIKITA &hellip; Not Wasting Time</b></figcaption></div><p>But once he got on the ice it didn&rsquo;t take Mikita long to answer the key question. Consider the following:</p><p>1. In his first six games, from Oct 23 through Nov. 4, Stan either scored a goal or had at least one assist, or both. During that time he totalled four goals and six assists for 10 total points &mdash; only three less than NHL scoring leader Parker MacDonald of Detroit.<br>2. During their first six games, without Mikita, the Black Hawks scored a total of 10 goals. In their next six, with Mikita, Chicago became the hottest scoring team in the league with a total of 22 goals, or more than twice their previous total.<br>3. In their first six games, the Black Hawks won 1, tied 3 and lost 3 games. In their next six, with Mikita in the lineup, Chicago won 4, tied 1 and lost 1 to move from fifth to second place in the standings.</p><h2><b>Restores Spark To Scooter Line</b></h2><p>4. &ldquo;Scooter Line&rdquo; teammate Ab McDonald, who had only two assists and no goals in his first six games without Mikita, suddenly blossomed with five goals and four assists once Stan returned to center the line.</p><p>All this has been done while the 5 ft. 10 in., 165-pound Mikita is still playing his way back into shape.</p><p>&ldquo;I still have to favor my ankle,&rdquo; said Stan. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t turn like I want to and can&rsquo;t deke the opposing players yet like I should.&rdquo;</p><p>Chicago is a finely-balanced hockey club and needs full performance from all hands if it is to battle for the top spot in the NHL regular season race. But lit still has its mainsprings and Mikita is quite obviously one of them.</p><p>Stan is a key man on our club, naturally,&rdquo; said Coach Rudy Pilous. &ldquo;He got the spark going and set the whole team to moving. He&rsquo;s also matured enough to keep a level head about the whole thing.&rdquo;</p><p>Mikita&rsquo;s return and surge came at an opportune time with the entire Black Hawks offense sputterring as Bobby Hull managed only one goal in Chicago&rsquo;s first 11 games and finally added No. 2 in game 12. In both cases they were Chicago&rsquo;s lone score in defeat.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Injuries Coming More Frequently For Hawk Captain

The hitch is, he never got around to stopping.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-01671/2568273-1-eng-US/f0009-012.jpg" title="f0009-01" width="160" height="257"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Johnny Wilson</b></figcaption></div><p>Like the old tortoise of Aesop&rsquo;s Fables, Andy just plodded on and on and on, scored a net full of goals here and there and is STILL plodding on and on.</p><p>Just last week at Montreal the 5-9, 182 pounder racked up his 500th consecutive NHL game. He has raised his total since to 504, one more than Glenn Hall of Chicago, who has been forced to give up the battle for the record because of an injury.</p><p>If he&rsquo;s still healthy on Nov. 21. when Rangers host Boston, Andy will tie the Ranger record of 508 owned by Yale&rsquo;s hockey coach Mur ray Murdoch. The league mark is 580, held by retired Ranger, John ny Wilson.</p><p>Since Hebby can&rsquo;t tie Wilson&rsquo;s record this year, he has not been overly concerned about his streak</p><p>&ldquo;Next year, when I get closer maybe I&rsquo;ll think more about it,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;But right now I don&rsquo;t give it much thought.&rdquo;</p><p>If we know Hebenton, he&rsquo;s un derestimating his concern. Like any professional athlete, he&rsquo;s proud of his achievement. Proof is the way he got off the sick bed a couple of years ago after a nasty eyi Injury threatened to chuck him from the lineup.</p><p>While everybody had him scratched from the team, Andy reported for action. Since the swelling had subsided enough for him to see, he got on the ice and saved his streak.</p><p>It behooves Andy to get a hot stick to save the Rangers who have been suffering from severe goal malnutrition.</p><p>Last year was a sub-par one for Hebenton, he scored 18 goals. (His average is 20-plus). Blame was partly Andy&rsquo;s and partly his linemates, Ted Hampson, Camille Henry and whoever else played left wing.</p><p>This year, Hebby&rsquo;s center is Bronco Horvath with Henry back again on wing. Henry considers himself, Andy&rsquo;s publicist without portfolio.</p><p>&ldquo;Hebby&rsquo;s the kind of guy who works hard all the time,&rdquo; says Camille, &ldquo;but never gets notices he deserves. I know that a good part of any success I&rsquo;ve had I owe to Andy&rsquo;s hard work.&rdquo;</p><p>G.M.-coach Muzz Patrick expects that any Ranger success this year will also hinge on Hebenton.</p><p>&ldquo;When he gets going,&rdquo; says Muzz, &ldquo;he&rsquo;ll help us out of this slump.&rdquo;</p><p>Patrick, who saved Hebenton from the total obscurity of Victoria in 1955, must be thinking about Andy&rsquo;s 162 goals scored since he hit the NHL, second to Andy Bathgate.</p><p>There have been other pleasant memories, especially Hebby&rsquo;s sudden-death playoff goal against Jacques Plante on March 28, 1957 at Madison Square Garden. But at 33 one wonders how long Hebby will be around.</p><p>&ldquo;I feel great,&rdquo; Andy insists. &ldquo;I worked hard during the Summer and got myself down to a good low playing weight.&rdquo;</p><p>Although Hebby scored only two goals in his first 10 games, Patrick says he&rsquo;s expecting 20 from his prize catch. As for Andy :</p><p>&ldquo;Let me get ten first, then I&rsquo;ll worry about twenty.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

AMERICAN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">By HANS TANNER</div><p>ROCHESTER, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>It&rsquo;s doubtful whether any fiction writer in the world could come up with a plot to match that of the 1962-63 edition of &ldquo;The Rochester Americans Goaltending Story&rdquo;.</p><p>From a cut-and-dried beginning, the story has developed into a series of happenings that remind one of the old Abbott and Costello routine &ldquo;Who&rsquo;s on First&rdquo;.</p><p>This started out to be a short, one chapter story when the Amerks reported to training camp in Peterborough, Ont., early in September.</p><p>Jerry Cheevers, a flashy finisher for Rochester last season, was generally conceded the job again.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-04323/2568838-1-eng-US/f0012-042.jpg" title="f0012-04" width="144" height="236"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 144px"><b>Jerry Cheevers</b></figcaption></div><p>But Gerry McNamara had other ideas and the plot thickened. Mac eventually assumed the leading character&rsquo;s role. He beat Cheevers out and Jerry was sent to Sudbury of the Eastern Pro League.</p><p>Turning the page, we find that McNamara suffered torn knee ligaments two days before the season started and still another name was introduced &mdash; Don Simmons.</p><p>Don had opened the 61-62 campaign here and closed it out by helping Toronto win the Stanley Cup. But he had broken a couple of toes several days before training camp opened so was injured.</p><p>Simmons, though short on condition, stepped into the nets for the Amerks and did more than an adequate job.</p><p>We use the past tense &ldquo;did&rdquo; because now Simmons has been removed from the cast of characters &mdash; and the circumstances of his leaving were really something.</p><p>The Amerks lost a home game 5-3 to Quebec on November 4 and Don made only 11 saves the whole night. Five goals allowed in 16 shots isn&rsquo;t too sensational a record for a goaltender, but fortunately for Don, Toronto&rsquo;s Punch Imlach was on hand.</p><p>Imlach absolved Simmons of all blame and, rightly so. After that game Imlach announced he was recalling Simmons.</p><p>Re-enter Cheevers.</p><p>Jerry rejoined Rochester Nov. 6 and is to stay until McNamara is ready to play, which isn&rsquo;t expected to be before the first of December.</p><p>Coach Rudy Migay and general manager Jack Riley, admittedly would like nothing better than to peek at the last page to see how the story ends.</p><p>One thing is for sure, however, it&rsquo;s a cinch the butler didn&rsquo;t do it this time !</p><p><b>ICICLES</b> &mdash; Simmons registered his first shutout for the Amerks October 30 when he blanked Baltimore, 5-0, in Baltimore. Don went 51 games last season and six this year before the whitewash&hellip; The Amerks boast good balance in the scoring department thus far. For the first nine games, 11 players scored between six and nine points. Larry Keenan had nine; Gene Ubriaco eight; Gerry Ehman, John MacMillan, Gary Jarrett and Dick Gamble all seven each, and Bob Armstrong, Arnie Brown, Bruce Draper, Stan Smrke and Jim Pappin six each.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

American League Team Scoring

It was the 17th three-goal performance of his AHL career, and gave him 10 goals for the season.</p><p>The last time the 30-year-old skater, a product of Kirkland Lake won the scoring race was in 1958-59 when he notched 104 points. Several other times, &ldquo;The Whip&rdquo; missed by a narrow margin of laying claim to the John B. Sollenberger Trophy, emblematic of the scoring championship.</p><p>One of the reasons Marshall has a good chance at making a run at the point title is the 5-10, 155-pound forward is flanked by a pair of eager rookies, Roger DeJordy, 25, and Wayne Rivers, 20.</p><p>In the four games they played as a unit &mdash; Rivers was on the shelf for a stretch with an arm ailment &mdash; the line struck for 17 points.</p><p>Rivers has yet to light the lamp, but has aided in five goals, while DeJordy has four goals and three assists.</p><p>&ldquo;The two kids, DeJordy and Rivers,&rdquo; said Marshall, &ldquo;really make you hustle. They both are fast skaters and I like playing on a line with them. They&rsquo;re both eager to make good and I think they will.&rdquo;</p><p>DeJordy, who spent last season with Edmonton, claims Marshall &ldquo;is the best centerman I ever skated with&rdquo; and added &ldquo;I&rsquo;m learning something new every game.&rdquo;</p><p>In 11 AHL seasons, Marshall has appeared in 624 games scoring 800 points, second only in all-time performance to Cleveland&rsquo;s Fred Glover. The Barons&rsquo; ace player-coach in 15 years has appeared in 822 games, tallied 403 goals, 579 assists for 982 points. He&rsquo;s a cinch to crack the 1,000 point mark this season, a plateau no other AHL performer ever attained in the loop&rsquo;s 26 year history.</p><p>One chap keeping the Bears in contention is goalie Ed Chadwick, who has turned in stellar work. In nine starts he&rsquo;s looked at 254 shots, allowing only 30 to elude him.</p><p>The Bears&rsquo; offense, however, has been lacking a consistent scoring punch.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Marshall Reaches AHL Milestone Registers 800th Career Point, Sets Sights On Scoring Crown

<div class="byline">By SHEL FULLERTON</div><p>CLEVELAND, Ohio&mdash;</p><p>History gets a chance to repeat itself as diminutive AL Cullen once again steps into the nets for the Cleveland Barons.</p><p>As was the case last season, the 5-9 amateur netminder got his chance when regular goaltender Les Binkley was injured.</p><p>The luckless Barons seemed certain to snap their seven-game losing streak against the Quebec Aces on November 3 when Binkley was injured.</p><p>With the Barons sporting a 4-2 lead with only 12 minutes remaining to play, Binkley was hit by onrushing Terry Gray, who was playing his first game for the Aces after having been swapped by the Barons for defenseman Gary Bergman.</p><p>Bergman immediately began mixing it up with Gray and, in the resulting excitement, no one realized that Binkley had hit his head on the goal post when Gray had come in on him.</p><p>Play continued and Quebec tallied three quick goals, enough to win, two of them coming on easy chances for Binkley.</p><p>It was not until he reached the dressing room after the game that Binkley suddenly collapsed to the floor unconscious. He was rushed to the hospital, where a spinal tap, x-rays and other tests were taken. All tests proved clear, but Binkley could not recall the final 12 minutes of the game.</p><p>It was early In the 1961-62 campaign when Cullen was first called upon to replace Binkley. He came through with five straight victories, three by shutouts, lost to Buffalo, then helped the Barons win three more in a row. He also played three games in the Calder Cup playoffs, again when Binkley was injured.</p><p>Binkley&rsquo;s most recent injury came just when it appeared that the Barons were about to find the victory secret. Following six straight road losses and a 2-0 suhtout at the hands of Providence, the Barons were showing their muscle against Quebec.</p><p>John Ferguson, Tommy Williams and Hank Ciesla slapped home first period goals and Dick Van Impe scored in the second period to double the Quebec total. Then Binkley&rsquo;s injury changed the whole complexion of the game.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-03559/2569256-1-eng-US/f0013-032.jpg" title="f0013-03" width="290" height="453"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>AL CULLEN</b></figcaption></div><p>One explanation for the Barons&rsquo; improved showing is the re-acquisition of Bergman. With Williams, Bill Needham and Dick Mattiussi filling the other regular spots, his addition gives the Barons four experienced back-liners.</p><p>Bergman was a big factor as the Barons won the Western Division championship last season. He has gained experience on defense and his offensive rushes make him one of the more dangerous scoring defenseman in the AHL.</p><p>Dick Van Impe, also shelved by early injuries, again is back in action. He, too, should help the club get back on the victory road.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Cullen Gets Big Chance As Fill-In For Binkley

<div class="byline">By CHARLEY BARTON</div><p>BUFFALO, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>The short spot in the American Hockey League schedule, and their first extended road trip of the season, was a pleasant memory for the Buffalo Bisons.</p><p>After a five-game sweep in the first 18 days of the schedule, the Herd was the only unbeaten and untied team in the league.</p><p>Scheduled to play 13 games in the next 24-day span, and three road games in as many nights, the Bisons opened with a 5-3 win at Baltimore.</p><p>They fell from the unbeaten ranks with a thud, dropping a 10-1 decision at Springfield, but then bounced back to carry off a 2-1 verdict at Providence.</p><p>Winning two of three on the road left the Bisons with a record of three wins and one loss in their first four away games. At home they&rsquo;re batting 1,000, with four wins in as many starts.</p><p>The Herd&rsquo;s great start was reflected at the box office. They played to a gathering of 8,121 when they whipped Quebec, 2-0, Oct. 28, and advance sales indicate similar crowds in the immediate future.</p><p>Coach Billy Reay was still juggling two of his forward lines, and only the combination of center Art Stratton, right-winger John McKenzie and rookie left-winger Doug Robinson was intact from the season opener.</p><p>Reay was immensely pleased with the work of goalie Denis DeJordy before he left to join the parent Chicago Black Hawks and his defensemen. The Bisons won two of the three veteran defensemen Ron Ingram sat out as a result of his three-game suspension for a run-in with playercoach Red Sullivan of Baltimore.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not as strong up front as I would like, but then I guess most coaches are never completely satisfied anyway,&rdquo; Reay said.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll just move some of the boys around a little bit, and play it by ear for a while. So far, the music has been good,&rdquo; he added, with a smile.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Bisons Flying In Both Home And Road Play

<div class="byline">By BUSTER CLEGG</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01645/2569311-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg" title="f0014-01" width="614" height="639"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>GIL MAYER&hellip; Still Going Strong</b></figcaption></div><p>PROVIDENCE, R.I.&mdash;</p><p>Guess who&rsquo;s back at his old game of foiling the opposition 7 Why none other than Gil Mayer, 14-year veteran of American League goaltending!</p><p>The tiny 5&rsquo;6&rdquo; netminder, winner of five Hap Holmes trophies with the Pittsburg Hornets in his heyday, is back to his old tricks in this, his second full campaign with the Rhode Island Reds.</p><p>The diminutive, but determined Mayer, who in street clothes looks more like a dapper advertising executive than a battered professional goaltender, has been the recent backbone of the Reds, time and time again coming up with the &ldquo;big&rdquo; save.</p><p>At this writing, the 32-year old goaltender, still possessing the reflexes of a jack-rabbit, leads all regular AHL goaltenders with an admirable 2.44 goals against average, and has a shutout to boot.</p><p>The chippy little Mayer, who blends a pleasant mixture of selfconfidence with personal modesty and respect for his teammates, has made unbelieveable saves all season long. Attesting to his yeomanlike performance is a record of stopping 92.3% of the shots fired upon him thus far. Many of his 264 blocks have been remarkable, and many more sensational.</p><p>Mayer broke into pro hockey with the Hornets back in 1949-50 as a colorful, 18-year old rookie. In seven campaigns with the Pittsburgh club he finished as the circuit&rsquo;s top goaltender five times, and five times led the loop in shutouts.</p><p>When the Hornets disbanded in 1956 while Pittsburgh built a new civic auditorium, Gil went to Hershey where he shared netminding duties with Bobby Perreault, now with the Boston Bruins. After three years with the Bears, he was traded to Cleveland, where he played until last season.</p><p>As a summer acquisition of the Reds in 1961, Gil reported to camp with an infected hand which had been seriously cut several weeks before. It was along about January that his injury healed, and finally he took over the regular Providence netminding duties in the last two months of play.</p><p>The rest is thrilling history for the club and Rooster fans. Gil entered the lineup with the team far out of the playoff race, and proceeded to lead the Reds to 14 victories in their last 15 games, and a resulting playoff spot in the Eastern Division.</p><p>It appears that Mayer is back to his old scheme of thwarting the opposition. Just two weeks ago, the Reds, who for the past few years have been notorious road losers, snapped the jinx by taking two successive games on a trip, one a shutout over the Cleveland Barons. It was Mayer&rsquo;s 33 saves that earned the whitwashing, the 41st of his long career.</p><p>What do his teammates think of his work? &ldquo;Terrific!&rdquo;&mdash;that&rsquo;s the generalized comment volunteered by player-coach Ferny Flaman. &ldquo;Gil has been the core of our success since the beginning of the season,&rdquo; Flaman continued, &ldquo;and he seems to get better with each game. Give this guy decent defense, and we&rsquo;ll win plenty of hockey games, believe me!&rdquo;</p><p>How does Mayer regard his best start in many a year? &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll just keep working hard,&rdquo; he voices in a pleasant, french accented manner. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve got a good defense in front of me, and they deserve much of the credit. What we need now is a championship in Providence!&rdquo;</p><p>With this concluding comment it&rsquo;s easy to see that veteran Mayer means business.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Veteran Mayer Still Amazes In 14th Year As AHL Goalkeeper

<div class="byline">By AL FISCHER</div><p>BALTIMORE, Md.&mdash;</p><p>Rankled by three consecutive defeats, Baltimore Clipper playing-coach Red Sullivan was more than little bit disgusted with his team this past week.</p><p>Following 5-3 loss to Buffalo, after two successive losses to Rochester, one 5-0 defeat before the home folks, Sullivan decided it was time to make few changes and was clearly outspoken on the subject.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-02539/2569342-1-eng-US/f0014-022.jpg" title="f0014-02" width="154" height="247"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Len Ronson</b></figcaption></div><p>&ldquo;Len Ronson is not doing the job expected of him, and few others had better start improving or they&rsquo;ll be some changes made,&rdquo; Sullivan told the press.</p><p>Although one game is no criteria, Sullivan&rsquo;s dressing down of his club had the effect he intended and the Clippers used Hershey as an answer to their coach&rsquo;s accusations of poor play, dumping the Bears, 6-3, the most goals the Clippers have scored since opening the season with a 6-4 triumph over Springfield.</p><p>Sullivan and general manager Terry Reardon stated before the season opened that the club would need ten games under their belt before any real appraisal could be made.</p><p>Well, those ten games have come and gone and the Clippers stand all even at 5-5, a rather surprising mark for a first-year club despite the fact that the Clippers started with a pretty good nucleus.</p><p>Ronson, highly upset at Sullivan&rsquo;s charge against him, was determined to make up for what had been described as lethargic play and against Hershey the former Ranger had his best night of the season, scoring his first goal as a Clipper and adding an assist.</p><p>Ironically, Ronson played on the same line with Sullivan, as the Clipper coach apparently hoped to shake Len loose from his early season doldrums. The move paid off with extra dividends.</p><p>Two forgotten men of the Clippers, Bob Cunningham and Duane Rupp, got the opportunity for more action, as Sullivan dropped Brian HextaU from a regular center spot and moved Cunningham up to center the unit that included Pat Hannigan at right wing and Rupp at left.</p><p>This unit contributed five of the Clipper&rsquo;s 16 points against Hershey. Rupp had a goal and two assists, Cunningham a pair of assists and Hannigan a goal.</p><p>Goalie Marcel Paille, who has come in for his share of the critics retorts, had his best night of the season, meeting three consecutive head-to-head situations with the ability that has marked him as the best in the league for the past two seasons.</p><p>There had been retorts that Paille might be over the hill, following his performances against Rochester and Buffalo, but the pudgy Frenchman dispelled those rumors quickly and finally seems to have found his true form.</p><p>Sullivan continues to inspire the club, not only with his coaching, but with his exuberance on the ice.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

WESTERN LEAGUE

<p>SEATTLE, Wash.&mdash;</p><p>After rookie Vancouver goalkeeper Gilles Villemure opened the season with two straight shutouts, rumors immediately began circulating that the 1962-63 Western League season might be the best ever for goalkeepers.</p><p>This is already true In some departments but, with improved offensive power by almost every club, the fact still has to be proven in the one spot where it counts &mdash; the goals-against averages. Making a comparison with last season after 40 games the leading goalkeeper was the man behind the winningest team in the League, Dennis Riggin of the Edmonton Flyers, who was sporting an even 2.00 average with 16 goals against after 8 games before receiving a serious eye injury. This is even better than this season&rsquo;s leader, Villemure, who boasts a 2.44 average after 9 games, allowing 22 goals.</p><p>Last season Riggin was followed by Portland&rsquo;s Bruce Gamble and Spokane&rsquo;s Eddie Johnston, presently with the NHL Boston Bruins. Gamble, in second place, had a 2.45 average while Johnston, in third, had a 2.80 average. The second and third spots this season are occupied by Portland&rsquo;s Don Head with a 2.70 average and Spokane&rsquo;s Claude Dufour with an even 3.00 average. Gamble and Johnston had played 11 and 10 games respectively at this time last season while Head and Dufour have played 10 games and 6 games to date.</p><p>Although the present WHL goalkeepers have some catching up to do in averages, they are ahead in other departments. Last season only two shutouts had been recorded at this time, one by Edmonton&rsquo;s Riggin and one by Claude Evans, then tending goal for the Vancouver Canucks. This year that number has been doubled with Villemure leading the way with two whitewashes, and one each going to Jack McCartan of Los Angeles and Dufour.</p><p>They are also way out front in penalties this season. Last season at this time a total of six minutes had been assessed goalkeepers, two minutes each going to Jimmy McLeod, then with Seattle, Johnston, then with Spokane, and Marcel Pelletier of the Los Angeles Blades and now back-up goalie for the New York Rangers.</p><p>This season more than double the amount of time, 15 minutes, has been served in penalties by goalkeepers. Portland&rsquo;s Head leads the way with one minor and a major for fighting. Calgary&rsquo;s Roy Edwards is next in line, having received two minors, both during one game. McLeod, San Francisco backstop has already received his onepenalty for the season, and McCartan has also been tagged with one minor infraction.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

EPHL Summaries

<div class="byline">By HARVEY POLLACK</div><p>CLINTON, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>Clinton Comets became the first Northern Division team to make the southern junket in Eastern Hockey League play. Their trip was part of a eight game in nine day tour, and the New Yorkers traveled just short of 3,000 miles before getting a two-day layoff.</p><p>Coach Benny Woit&rsquo;s club entered this stretch of duty unbeaten, but came out of it with three defeats in the eight outings.

Clinton’s Travel Weary Comets Find Southern Junket Not Easy Losing 3 On 3,000-Mile Trip

<div class="byline">By BOB GIORDANO</div><p>KELOWNA, B.C.&mdash;</p><p>The leagueless Trail-Smoke-Eaters continue to knock over clubs from the Western Hockey League. The Allan Cup champions, playing a scheduled series of exhibition games against the pro clubs, in preparation for the World Hockey Tourney slated for next February, turned aside the Seattle Totems 3-2 on Trail ice &hellip; They then went on to defeat the Kimberley Dynamiters 6-2.</p><p>Previously the Trail club defeated Spokane Comets 8-2, and lost a close one to Vancouver Canucks 3-2.</p><p>Meanwhile Kamloops Rockets B.C. Junior Champions, and the Kelowna Buckaroos met head on In a home-and-home-series to determine which club would sit atop the Okanagan Junior Hockey League standings.</p><p>Both had previously been undefeated after four games.</p><p>In the first encounter on Kelowna ice and before some 1,000 wild cheering spectators, both clubs put on a dazzling display as the score changed hands throughout. A ten minute overtime period failed to break a six all deadlock.</p><p>The game itself had just about everything. End to end rushes, some well executed plays, and an all out effort on the part of all the players. When the final bell sounded, both clubs were given a standing ovation. That game did plenty to convince the paying customer junior hockey can be real exciting and worthwhile supporting.</p><p>The following night on Kamloops ice the two big giants of the league went at it again, but the outcome proved to be somewhat different.</p><p>Playing before a similar crowd, the home town Rockets took over sole possession of first place as they whipped the Bucks 10-5.</p><p>It was a balanced contest for two periods, but in the final stanza Kenny Stewart&rsquo;s smooth passing crew took complete charge as they outscored and outplayed the Bucks with four more goals.</p><p>In another home-and-home-series, the junior Blades from Vernon hit the winning column in fine style, after four straight losses.</p><p>The winless Penticton Vees were the victims as the Blades shut them out in both contests with identical scores of 5-0.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Omaha Rearguard Collins In Booming Start

<div class="byline">By JACK COOK</div><p>SASKATOON, Sask.&mdash;</p><p>The second-year Weyburn Red Pings, plugging the weak spots dth some experienced newcomers, have bounded from their Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League depths of a year ago to assume command in the early running.</p><p>A fine recruiting job by rookie coach Harvey Barnes, the Red Wing executive and the parent Detroit club, has enabled the Weyburn entry to build an impressive winning streak in which the only loss has been a 3-2 squeaker to Estevan Bruins.</p><p>One of the most important matches was 19-year old Wayne Caufield of Sault St. Marie, Ont., a smooth-working forward who has boosted the club&rsquo;s point-producing stock considerably.</p><p>Caufield fits in nicely with 10 or more holdovers, who last year kept losing the close ones for lack of scoring punch. The returning class includes four defencemen and all-star netminder Joe Daley of Winnipeg.</p><p>Coach Barnes, who replaced Bud MacPherson, the man who got Red Wings off on the right foot with a good crop of youngsters, has Weyburn a nose ahead of Melville Millionaires and Scotty Munro&rsquo;s Bruins.

HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA

<div class="byline">By JACK THOMSON</div><p>FORT WILLIAM, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Hard working Sid Smith has been elected president of the Fort William Beavers for the coming season. The Beavers who were on the brink of folding due to a lack of interest on the part of the executive, have elected a new slate of directors. Smith already has cleared the reinstatement of Billy Isbell from the Montreal Canadian organization. Goaltender Joey Bamford, last year with Guelph in the OHA junior has signed with the club. Also the club is working on the release of Barry Hogan from Charlote in the Eastern League and Roger Sawicki of Springfield in the American League. With the boys who are out and these four the Beavers under Joe Nigro are looking for a very successful season.</p><p>Chris Asseff, president of the Fort William Canadians for over ten years handed in his resignation to the executive. He said it was just too much to concentrate on hockey and his business also. Executive members felt they would be able to talk him into staying. He has done a great job for the parent Montreal organization and if they let him go through with his retirement plans they will be sorry.</p><p>Allie LeBlanc, has been named coach of the Marathon Mercuries and Dave Desrosiers the same position with Schriber in the North Shore League &hellip; Johnny Beda has returned to the coaching ranks after a four year absence with the Kenora Thistles. Beda who played junior with the Thistles and Fort William in the thirties, takes over from Charlie Rayner who has taken the dual role of manager coach with the Edmonton Flyers in the Western League.</p><p>Port Arthur Bearcats are working on Junior Wilson to play with the club this year. Wilson says he would like to play if his knee holds up, and if he can he will be a big help to the Bearcats &hellip; Ted Hogan with the Fort William Hurricanes last year has been named rookie of the year in the Manitoba Saskatchewan Junior football league this year.</p><p>Fred Page, vice president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and chairman of the Western Junior Committee, said he is having difficulty in organizing the proposed meeting of the Junior representatives in the, West, because he says they all have their own troubles at this time of the year and it is very hard for them to meet.

<div class="byline">By HUGH TOWNSEND</div><p>NEW GLASGOW, N.S.&mdash;</p><p>While Windsor Maple Leafs were playing an on-again, off-again game of whether to ice a team in the Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League this season, the other four clubs were scurrying to sign player talent for the 1962-63 campaign that was just around the corner.</p><p>With the league schedule due to start, Windsor was still dubious about their plans.</p><p>After a week of stalls in announcing their plans, the executive finally issued a statement that a financial drive fell short of its objective and that the team would ask the loop for a year&rsquo;s leave of absence.</p><p>Late the following night, however, word out of the Valley town was that a new group of sportsmen was interested in keeping the Leafs in operation.</p><p>The story was still a question mark as this was being written.</p><p>Meanwhile Amherst Ramblers, Halifax Tartans, New Glasgow Rangers and Moncton Hawks were holding workouts and lining up talent for the season that was slated to open in New Glasgow.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0019-03254/2570316-1-eng-US/f0019-032.jpg" title="f0019-03" width="283" height="433"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>DAVE MACLEOD</b></figcaption></div><p>Amherst plans to have almost the same lineup as a year ago with one major exception. Alain Caron, who rewrote the record books last winter with 76 goals and 46 assists for 122 points in 47 games, will not return. Lou Kiley was offered the coaching reins again but was undecided on whether to accept.</p><p>The Tartans, replacing Halifax Wolverines, have been holding nightly drills for three weeks under coach Bob Bowness, who was still without a release from Windsor. Tartans will open the campaign with Gary Doggett in goal and will have the nucleus of last year&rsquo;s club in uniform. Among returnees are defencemen Dugger MacNeill and Roy Velemerovich, forwards Brian Graver, Hap Hanson, George Groucher, Kenny Flynn, Hawley Turner and Ed Swartzack.</p><p>The status of forward Dave MacLeod was still in doubt. The fine skating centre-winger was working out with the Tartans but has not been released by New Glasgow. While Tartans are attempting to sign him, Rangers were just as firm in their stand that MacLeod goes only in a suitable swap.</p><p>Playing coach Leo Amadio arrived in the Ranger camp to find only goalie Ron Boomer on the list of star additions. However, New Glasgow was expected to have two or three new players in town before the circuit lidlifter. Rangers are expected to be a hard team to score against this winter with the Maritimes&rsquo; top goalie in the nets and a rugged lineup on the blueline.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Robin Hood Oats

<div class="byline">By LOUIS FUSK</div><p>QUEBEC, Que.&mdash;</p><p>The crowning achievement of the minor hockey leagues of the Quebec District has been the institution of the Quebec International Pee Wee Tournament. Started three years ago, it hit an all-time high attendance mark of 24,640 for the games of the final day in 1962. Right now the spacious Coliseum here cannot accommodate the crowds that wish to watch these 12-year-olds in action.</p><p>What individual launched the Pee Wee Tournament here and elevated it to its present eminence? The man is Gerard Bolduc, dapper, 56-year-old employee in the Department of Lands and Forests in the Provincial Government.</p><p>Without fanfare, Bolduc has been working in the interest of hockey here for the past 20 years. He was elected President of the minor hockey leagues of the Que bee District in 1946 and has held that post up to this year, when he resigned to devote full time to the Quebec tournament, of which he is now president. He has been succeeded by Armand Simard.</p><p>Teams in the Quebec District Minor Hockey Leagues range from Mosquito to Juvenile and the growth of this movement under Bolduc&rsquo;s presidency has been outstanding. In 1946 when he took over there were 384 players, with 32 clubs playing in nine leagues. Eleven years later the number of players had increased to 1,000. Today there are some 2,500 players in the minor leagues setup. Most of the games are played on outdoor rinks, with finals staged at the O.T.J. Arena.</p><p>Many standout players have come through the minor leagues here, including Camille Henry, Paul Bibeault, Gerry McNeil, Michel Labadie, Armand Gaudreault, Jackie Leclair, Gilles Tremblay and Butch Houle.</p><p>In 1953 Bolduc managed a Quebec Midget team that competed in the International Tournament in Duluth, Minn., and won the championship, beating out Regina, which was a farm team of Montreal Canadiens. On that Regina team was Bill Hicke, presently starring with Canadiens of the National Hockey League. Michel Lagace, now with Quebec Aces, played for the Quebec team that year.</p><p>Bolduc managed the juvenile team that played in the Duluth tournament the following year and was eliminated in the semifinals.</p><p>Then in 1958-59, Bolduc was manager of a Quebec Pee Wee team which competed in the International Tournament at Gode rich, Ont. It was because of what he had seen at Duluth and Goderich that prompted Gerard to organize the pee wee tournament here.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-01215/2570385-1-eng-US/f0020-012.jpg" title="f0020-01" width="143" height="174"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 143px"><b>GERARD BOLDUC</b></figcaption></div><p>The tournament was launched in a rather modest scale in 1960, vith 28 teams competing. A total of 35,000 fans took in the five-lay attraction, with 9,500 watching the games on the final day.</p><p>The growth of the tournament yas meteoric. The following year 16 teams participated and the otal attendance was boosted to 2,692, with 16,483 on hand for he final day. Last year, with all &ldquo;ames played at the Coliseum, the total paid attendance was 36,953, with 24,640 for the final lay. Tickets were harder to get than in the days when Jean Beliveau played hockey in this city.</p><p>Born at Montmagny, he took up residence in Quebec in 1921 where he worked for the C.N.R. up to 1931 when he joined the Provincial Government. In his youth he was actively engaged in such sports as skiing, lacrosse, football, hunting and fishing, and naturally hockey. During his four years as a snowshoer and skier, he collected 28 trophies and 16 medals. He was a member of a four-man ski relay team that won a 15-mile event at Beaupre for the Chateau Frontenac Trophy, emblematic of the city and district championship. In 1925 he represented the Province of Quebec in the Canadian ski championship at Ottawa.</p><p>As an organizer of hockey for almost 20 years, he has had under his control more than 10,000 players on 827 clubs in 231 leagues ranging from juvenile to mosquito. Under his direction of the Committee of Minor Hockey Leagues in the Quebec District, supervising schedules, compiling statistics, publishing reports and seeing that the regulations of the Q.A.H.A. were carried out were all part and parcel of his day&rsquo;s work.</p><p>In all this toil Bolduc has had able assistance from his committee composed of Pat Timmons, 1st vice-president; Pierre Bleau, 2nd vice-president; Jacques Boissinot, secretary-treasurer-registrar; Gilles Belanger, publicist, and representatives from Levis and Donnacona Paul Henri Blais and Gerard Piche.</p><p>Mike Griffin has organized a pee wee league here, known as the Griffin Pee Wee League, with a view to develop players to represent this city in the annual International tournament. All these men are truly unsung heroes in the cause of minor hockey in this city.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>
