Clippers Put Swedish Ace Sterner On First Line
BALTIMORE, Md. Baltimore Clipper officials, evidently, are confident that Ulf Sterner, the much publicized former Swedish Olympic star, is ready for the American League. When Sterner was assigned to Baltimore from St. Paul of the Central League as a replacement for Jean Ratelle, who rejoined the New York Rangers, Clipper Coach Johnny Crawford immediately announced that Ulf would centre the club’s top line. According to Terry Reardon. Clipper General Manager, Baltimore considered selecting Sterner to open the season. But there was some question about his adjusting from amateur to pro hockey. Filling the void created by Ratelie’s call up to the Rangers is a big assignment for the Swede. Ratelle, who almost missed playing hockey this season because of contract problems. rattled the cords for nine goals and eight games with the Clippers. Ratelle became…

Hawks Predict NHL Stardom For Stanfield
CHICAGO, Ill. The early season play of 19-year-old Fred Stanfield, though limited to penaltykilling chores and occasional stints as a fourth line center, has been so impressive that several of his veteran Black Hawk teammates have been moved to predict stardom for the graduate of St. Catharines Juniors. Most enthusiastic supporter is Eric Nesterenko, the 12-year veteran who has been working with Stanfield on the penalty-killing unit. In fact, after a recent game in which Eric came up with a pair of goals, including the winner, in a victory over the Canadiens, the lanky veteran brushed off his contribution, preferring to put in several plugs for his youthful coworker. “I don’t think there is any way this kid can be kept from becoming a great hockey player,” the normally reticent Eric bubbled. ‘‘He has…
Wings Keep Good Road Record Intact; Larry Jeffrey Lost Until February
DETROIT, Mich. Winning on the road is better than half the battle in the Nationa1 Hockey League since so few clubs can play. 500 or better hockey away from home. Thus the Red Wings’ Sid Abel was a little more thankful than most on Thanksgiving, after the Wings had completed the longest road siege they’ll face all season—seven of eight games away from Olympia. They finished the road stretch with a 2-3-2 and, tacked onto their earlier forays, showed a 4-4-3 road mark. If they can keep at that pace, there’s a good chance that they can finish as high as No. 1 or 2. Montreal was the only team able to play. 500 road hockey last year and the Habs took first place by a point. “We could be right up there in…
