John Ferguson… …Montreal Canadiens
When John Ferguson came to National Hockey League training camp this season for a tryout with the Canadiens, there were some skeptics who said he wouldn’t make the grade. After one NHL game, Ferguson has happily proved them wrong. The rugged left winger, who scored 38 goals in 72 games for the Cleveland Barons last season and was named allstar, made an auspicious debut in the big time this past week. Ferguson clicked for two goals and an assist in his NHL debut against Boston and his performance prompted Coach Toe Blake to reply, “he certainly showed us what we had hoped he would. It was a good start,” said Blake. The hard-nosed winger also acquired two penalties and served notice on the rest of the NHL that no one is going to chase…
St. Paul Not Looking Forward To Day Harvey Ready For New York Return; Sparks Farm Club In Double Win
NEW YORK, N.Y.— Within two or three weeks — possibly sooner — the New York Rangers will offer’the same fiveman defense corps they presented last season and the sorriest team in hockey when it happens will be the St. Paul Rangers of the new Central Pro Hockey League. Harvey, sent to St. Paul to get in condition after missing the New York Rangers’ training camp, is a big man for the CPHL Rangers. The 39-year-o 1 d defenseman scored two goals in the new league’s opener to give St. Paul a 6-3 win over St. Louis Braves. The next night, Harvey made one of his patented key passes to send Paul Andrea on a break away for the winning goal as St. Paul edged St. Louis 4-3. Since Doug missed the entire training camp period,…

• EDDIE JOHNSTON, sophomore goalkeeper of the Boston Bruins, holds the key as to whether or not the Boston team make the playoffs, according to General Manager Lynn Patrick… Johnston is reported to have had very ordinary training camp… His play in the one nine came of the season was excellent, however, so it might be that he is one of those goalies that never looks good until they are in an actual game… When Tim Horton of the Leafs and Bobby Hull of the Black Hawks got into a ruckus during the All-star Game, Toronto captain George Armstrong appraised the hassle this way : “Tim is probably the strongest man in the league, but he can’t fight. Hull is strong and he can punch. Hull hit me on the…
Pilous Put Emphasis On Goaling Swings Deal For WHL Vet Millar
11PVCTR Colo— The financially solid Western Hockey League opened its 16th season and, while the league was becoming somewhat venerable, the Denver Invaders under coach Rudy Pilous, were spanking new. _ Just how the fans here will react to their first taste of professional hockey remains to be seen, but the players have already agreed that the Denver coliseum is a welcome addition. 0.. Rival coaches, though, will have a problem on their hands in getting their players to adjust to the high altitude. Some clubs will check into town a day early if the schedule permits so that the players can become used to the thin air. The Invaders are still an unknown quantity. Stocked by the parent Toronto Maple Leafs, it appears Denver will have a big, rough defence, a capable goalie…
