Durable Bill Needham Barons’New ‘Iron Man’ Bids For 400th Game
CLEVELAND, Ohio— One of the unsung stalwarts of the American Hockey League, and certainly one of the least controversial, is Bill Needham, who takes his turn on defense as regularly as clockwork for the Cleveland Barons. The quiet Needham, “Silent Sam” to his teammates, has been taking his regular turn on defense for so long that few fans can remember back to the day when the words “Defense-Needham” did not appear in a Baron box score. Several years ago, hockey fans were saying that Chuck Scherza’s record of having played 309 consecutive games for the Providence Reds was a mark that would stand for a long, long time. Needham shattered Scherza’s record last season, winding up the 1961-62 campaign with a record of having appeared in 350 straight AHL games. By playing in the Barons’…

Milt Flaunts Form Chart Playing Big Line Against Other Leading Units In League
BOSTON, Mass.— Have National Hockey League teams been delinquent in showmanship in not matching aces more often? If they have been, they seem to be doing something to remedy the situation this season, with the Bruins taking the lead. The big games of major league baseball usually match star pitcher against star pitcher—with appropriate advance publicity. Millions of professional football fans thrill to the great quarterbacking duels between the Y.A. Tittles, the Bart Starrs, the Norman Sneads and the Milt Plums. Major league basketball has its battles of the giants—Bill Russell against Wilt Chamberlain. But in hockey, when the visiting team ices a high-scoring line the home team, having the last move, regularly counters with a checking line. And if the home team ices a high-scoring line the visiting team attempts to counter with a checking line. “That’s…
