Williams Injury Weakens Barons Along Blueline
CLEVELAND, Ohio— A knee injury to veteran defenseman Tommy Williams not only has helped plunge the Cleveland Barons into their first real slump of the 1963-64 American Hockey League season, but has recalled painful memories of a vear ago. Williams received a bad ankle gash in the opening game of the 1962-63 season and missed eight games. His absence was at least partially responsible for the Barons’ miserable start in’the 1962-63 season. With Williams again on the bench for an indefinite time, the strong Cleveland defense of early season has been weakened. The team still is playing fairly good hockey, but the few extra enemy goals that are trickling in are not being offset by the Barons’ attack. It seems unlikely that the Cleveland offense, as now constituted, will produce goals in large quantities.…
Marlboros Proving Experts Kight By Dominating Early Team Race
ST. CATHARINES, Ont.- Toronto Marlboros, odds-on favorites to lead the Ontario Hockey Association junior “A” league after a two-year stay in the Toronto Metro League, have, so far, proven the experts correct. Formed from a combination of Neil McNeil Maroons and the Marlboros, the Dukes have been in first place since the opening week of the schedule and seem to be in no hurry to relinquish their claim. In their first 14 games they have lost only two (to Peterborough and St. Catharines) and tied one with Hamilton for a 23-point total. Peterborough, despite two losses In two weeks to St. Catharines Black Hawks, held to second spot with 19 points followed by Montreal, St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Oshawa, Kitchener and Hamilton. HOCKEY CROSSWORD Niagara Falls Flyers, defending Eastern Canada junior “A” champions and Memorial Cup…
Fines, Suspension Follow Rough Ice Battles
WINDSOR. N.S.— A serious injury, a suspension, numerous fines and a warning from a coach were the results of a week of violence in Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League games. Rough play, highlighted by a number of the worst brawls in league history, took the spotlight as the four NSSHL clubs battled on the ice. Biggest losers in the battles were probably the league leading Windsor Maple Leafs who lost the services of star rookie centreman George Gilbault for at least two months. Gilbault, 21-year-old native of Windsor, Que., suffered a fractured jaw when he was hit in the face by a stick or a punch during a brawl in a game at Moncton. His jaw will remain wired for six to eight weeks as a result of the game which saw referees call…
Famed ‘Garden’ Organist Dies
NEW YORK, N.Y.— The first time we met Gladys Goodding, the delightful Ebbets Field organist who passed away on Nov. 18th, we fully expected her to whack us over the head with her pocket book. It was Sunday afternoon in 1943, loflowing the Rovers’ hockey game at Madison Square Garden. Gladys was as much a part of those rambunctious matinees as the Garden ice. She’d check into the ’ arena at a little after noon, play all day, and then return in the evening for the Ranger game. Just about the only people in the Garden at the time were kids like us who were in on “freebies” supplied by the Police Athletic League. On this Sunday, a few of us from the 79th Pct. PAL commando unit brought along a couple of…
