Gene Ubriaco Showing Up Leafs By Hustling To Top With Amerks
ROCHESTER, N.Y.— “Never make the boss look bad” is an old business axiom, but the Amerks’ Gene Ubriaco is doing just that these days — and his bosses (the Toronto Maple Leafs) don’t mind a bit. At this writing, the peppy little center is only a few points from first place in the American Hockey League’s individual scoring race. That’s not bad for a fellow who was shipped out of the Rochester Americans’ training camp in 1961 even before Coach Johnny Crawford had a chance to say hello. But being overlooked in the Toronto organization is nothing new for the hustling 25-year-old. The Leafs, as do most National League clubs, use a lot of young players during their early exhibitions in the fall while the veterans are getting into shape. But Ubriaco had to attend five…

Always Had Solid Backing Of NHL Says Veteran Referee Frank Udvari
TORONTO, Ont.— Frank Udvari gave National Hockey League President Clarence Campbell a vote of confidence when he said he had no complaints to make about failure of the NHL to back him up in disputes. Udvari, a 12-year referee in the NHL, added that he was sorry to see his running mate, Eddie Powers, leave the league following his resignation over a dispute with Campbell. “I have been in hot water many times and I can truthfully say that Clarence Campbell has always fought for me” commented Udvari.…
NHL ‘Chattels’ Blazing Point Pace With Bruin Prospect Gilbert On Top
KINGSTON, Ont.— The Eastern Professional Hockey League scoring race could very well prove to be a “big league” preview for hockey fans around the circuit. Four of the top ten are potential National Hockey Leaguers. Jeannot Gilbert and Don Blackburn of Kingston are chattels of the Boston Bruins. Chicago has big plans for Murray Hall of St. Louis and Sudbury’s Marc Dufour may some day find his way to Broadway and a berth with the Rangers. Gilbert has taken a commanding four point lead on top of the scoring statistics, with a total of 69 points, made out of 27 goals and 42 assists. Hall scored three times and as listed on five goals to go from a fourth place 57 points to second spot and 65 points. He leads in assists with 47.…
