Calgary Collapse Mystery Of Early Race
VANCOUVER, B.C.— The mystery team of the Western Hockey League this season has to be the Calgary Stampeders who after a strong second place finish last year, are currently wallowing in last place. The Stamps recently went through a woeful string of 10 straight defeats, then hit the road for three games against the top clubs in the northern division.

In 23 games the EPHL racked up 17 victories, the IHL five and one game was tied. Hull-Ottawa was the toughest outfit for the IHL clubs, winning six games and tieing one. Kingston won four, Sudbury four and Syracuse two. This included all games. Ironically, the tail end club of the IHL, Port Huron, had done the best work in the interlocking schedule, winning twice, and breaking an EPHL string of five victories.
