Hebenton 11 Games Away From ‘Iron Man’ Mark
BOSTON, Mass. — Durable Andy Hebenton of the Boston Bruins is within 11 games of becoming the National Hockey League’s new ‘Iron man’ and as far as the veteran winger is concerned, he has been mighty lucky to come this far. Hebenton, acquired by the Bruins during the off-season from Rangers after eight years as a New Yorker, has appeared in 570 straight games, leaving him only 10 behind the current record holder, Johnny Wilson, who retired last season after playing with Detroit, Chicago and Toronto. Hebenton recalls three years ago when he lost seven teeth in the same week with Rangers. Andy says his endurance streak I almost went by the boards a few times. The closest it came to ending was three seasons ago when a stick hit him in the eye…
Barons Get Glover Off The Hook Breaking Out In Rash Of Goals
CLEVELAND, Ohio— Just when it appeared that the Cleveland Barons would have to beef up their attack to figure prominently in the American Hockey League race, Coach Fred Glover’s icers hit the scoring jack pot in a 9-1 rout of the Buffalo Bisons on the latters’ ice. It was a happy night for the Barons, who outshot their opponents in four fo their first five games and had only a 2-3 record to show for it. Until they stampered the Bisons, the Barons simply were not planting their shots int.o opposing nets with any degree of regularity. After winning their first two games, the Barons dropped three in a row before the decisive win at Buffalo. Now, having proved that their attack is not a myth, the Barons should have gone a long…
Black Hawks Know They’re On Spot After Pressuring Coaching Change
TORONTO, Ont.— It is not so surprising, really, that Chicago Black Hawks have dominated the early portion of the National Hockey League schedule. Brief reflection will tell you some of Hawks’ most important players, particularly Stan Mikita, were squarely on the spot right from the start. What’s more, they had put themselves there, personally and deliberately. Mikita and two of his colleagues, Bobby Hall and Red Hay, bluntly fingered coach Rudy Pilous as the culprit in Hawks’ ignominious collapse last spring. You may recall how bad it was. The Tribe won only four of its last 17 games, blowing a comfortable grip on the league championship, then surrendering meekly to Detroit in the Stanley Cup semi-final. Jim Norris, who owns the Black Hawks, gave his men exactly what they asked for, a new…
Work Begins On New Garden Arena
NEW YORK, N.Y.- On Sunday, October 27th, more than 15,000 patrons jammed into Madison Square Garden to see the Chicago Black Hawks play the New York Rangers. There weren’t enough seats to accommodate all who wanted to see hockey. Many fans were compelled to stand one and two-deep in the mezzanine and end arena. Others were turned away because there were no seats left. “When are they going to build a place big enough for hockey ?” one mezzanine standee muttered. On Monday, October 28th, he had his answer. AL10:30 a m., some 15 blocks from the present Garden, Jrving Mitchell Felt, chairman and president of Madison Square Garden Corporation, launched construction of the new $70,000,000 Garden which will be built atop Pennsylvania Station. With a capacity of 25,000 for hockey, the new Garden ’is expected…
