Rookies Selby, Stemkowski Make Punch Glow But Leafs’ Standbys Under Gun As Team Falters
TORONTO, Ont.—Toronto Maple Leafs, defending champions of professional hockey, were in serious trouble, as they reached the half-way point in the National League’s 1964-65 schedule. Having won only two games in 10, they’d fallen seven points off Montreal Canadiens’ pace and had a .500 record—13 wins, 13 losses, five ties—for their first 35 matches. But the future looked bleak. A rash of injuries thwarted the reconstruction plans coach Punch Imlach had formulated, hoping to get his club ready for the critical final weeks of the campaign. Instead of weeding out inadequate personnel, he was calling up minor-league replacements to overcome a serious shortage of bodies. Brit Selby from Toronto’s Marlboro juniors and Pete Stemkowski from Leafs’ American League farm team at Rochester were summoned when Ron Ellis and George Armstrong joined Andy Bathgate on…

Chicago Ace Bobby Hull Could Pocket $1.500 For Performance In First Half
MONTREAL, Que.— If National League selectors vote like they should, Chicago Black Hawks’ scoring ace Bobby Hull should emerge $1,500 richer for his sensational first-half performance in the 1964-65 schedule. The prolific left winger of the Hawks could conceivably become the big money winner after the all-star and individual award selections are announced by the NHL this coming week. As it stands now, Hull already has $500 in the till for leading the NHL scoring race with his blazing 33-goal performance in the first 35 games of the season. His teammate Stan Mikita pocketed $250 as runner-up in the Ross Trophy race. Hull finished with 54 points and Mikita a distant second with 40. Hull was unquestionably the outstanding player of the first half of the season and he should be a unanimous choice…
Reay’s Formula For Second Half, Few More Points, Little Luck As Hawks’ Coach Eyes NHL Title
CHICAGO, Ill. All Black Hawk coach Billy Reay wants in the second half of the National Hockey League race are four more points than his crew picked up in the first 35-games…and a bit of luck. Billy figures that if he can get the equivalent of two more triumphs (the Hawks won 19 of their first 35) and help in the form of a few victories over the Canadiens by the four other members of the NHL, he and the Hawks can bring Chicago its first regular season title. At the midway point of last season, it seemed as though the Hawks were certain to finish in front. However, the team declined, slowly but steadily, until it missed the crown by a point and flopped out of the playoffs by bowing to Detroit…
