HOCKEY CROSSWORD

<p>MONTREAL, Que.</p><p>Camille Henry&rsquo;s opponents have been quoted as saying that the little left-winger is hard to defense against &ldquo;because he seems to come out of the goalpost lust as the puck gets to the crease and that before the goaltender can move, the puck is in the net.&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-07162/2403449-1-eng-US/f0010-072.jpg" title="f0010-07" width="284" height="441"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Bruce MacGregor</b></figcaption></div><p>Henry, one of the smallest players in the National Hockey League, is the most accurate shooter and makes the most of his comparatively few scoring chances.</p><p>Statistics released by the NHL&rsquo;s figure Gilbert Ron Andrews for the first two-thirds of the 1964-65 season show Henry scores on one of every four shots he takes at opposition nets. And, although figures aren&rsquo;t available to prove it, most of the Chicago leftwinger&rsquo;s goals are scored from close range. Hence the description of him coming out of the goalpost.</p><p>Henry was a New York Ranger through the first two-thirds of the season. He joined Hawks in a seven-player trade Feb. 4. The league passed the two-thirds mark Feb. 3.</p><p>In the 48 games he played for New York this season, Henry scored 21 goals on 85 shots, a scoring percentage of 24.7. The second most accurate shooter during the NHL&rsquo;s first 140 games among players with 10 or more goals was Bruce MacGregor of Detroit Red Wings. MacGregor, who led in accuracy during the first third with a 23.1 percentage, slipped a bit to 20.6 per cent with 13 goals on 63 shots.</p><p>A scan through the shooting statistics also reveals that the league&rsquo;s leading goal scorer, Bobby Hull of Chicago, also led in most shots with 297, scoring 37 times for a 12.5 percentage. The average percentage for all players was 8.9 on 771 goals and 8,632 shots.</p><p>Gord Howe of Detroit, who had the second-highest total shots, 235, scored 16 goals for 6.8 per cent, more than double his percentage for the first third. The dubious honor of &ldquo;least effective&rdquo; shooter belonged to defenceman Harry Howell of New York, who failed to score although he took 156 shots at opposition nets. Next was Doug Barkley, Detroit defenceman, with one goal in 109 shots for .9 per cent.</p><p>Chicago led team shooting with a percentage of 10.9 on 158 goals from 1,450 shots. Detroit was the leader in most shots taken, averaging 34.6 per game. The average per team per game in the league was 30.8.</p><p>Boston defenceman Ted Green was on the ice for more goals against than any other player&mdash;92 of the 171 scored against Boston. Gord Howe of Detroit was on for 30 of Detroit&rsquo;s 33 power-play goals while Forbes Kennedy of Bruins was on for 27 of the 37 power-play goals scored against Boston.</p><p>In team power-play and penalty-killing statistics, Detroit had the most potent power-play, scoring on 18.3 per cent of its advantages&mdash;33 goals and 180 man advantages. Toronto was next with 17.7 per cent on 32 goals and 181 advantages. New York, with the most power-play goals, 39, had the most opportunities, 226, for 17.3 per cent. Montreal had the best penaltykilling unit, successfully defending 88.0 per cent of its penalties, allowing 21 goals during 175 man disadvantages.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Traffic Jam Looms At Top For NHL

With 19 games left on the Wings&rsquo; schedule it is possibly asking too much of the 36-year-old Howe to score 13 times but no one is foolish enough to think that he can&rsquo;t do it.</p><p>Howe stands as hockey&rsquo;s greatest scorer and he reached such a high plateau in hockey because he has always been able to perform the unexpected throughout his long and illustrious big league hockey life.</p><p>Almost every time Howe puts his stick to the puck he comes away with some sort of an NHL record. His latest came when he scored his 20th goal last weekend against New York marking the 16th straight season he has scored 20 or more goals, a new NHL record.</p><p>Gordie, playing his 19th NHL season, now has 587 goals, 746 assists and 1,333 points and all achieved in the service of the Detroit Red Wings, also a remarkable feat in this modern era when even the super stars seem expendable on the trading market.</p><p>Howe and Norm Ullman are waging a tense struggle to lead the Red Wings&rsquo; scorers and the incomparable Gordie has been coming on stronger in recent weeks than Ullman, who is six years Howe&rsquo;s junior.</p><p>The Red Wings are gearing for the stretch run and with Howe rolling in old time form, there&rsquo;s no telling how high the Detroiters can scale between now and March 28&mdash;the day they drop the curtain on the regular schedule.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Montreal and Toronto are breathing down their necks with 60 and Sid Abel&rsquo;s hustling Detroiters are lurking in fourth spot with 58 points.</p><p>But the Hawks have played more games than any of the other &lsquo;big four&rsquo; clubs and with games in hand and presuming all teams win them, the race could look like this after each has performed 54 games: Chicago&rsquo;, Montreal and Detroit each with 64 points, Toronto with 62.</p><p>Abel, the energetic managercoach of the Red Wings, figures his Wings have as good a chance as any of the other top bracketed teams of ending first.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

First Place Still Open To 4 Teams

<div class="byline">BY DAN MOULTON</div><p>CHICAOGO. Ill.&mdash;</p><p>Camille Henry admits he still hasn&rsquo;t quite got over the shock of the seven - player trade which uprooted him after nearly 10 seasons in New York and dropped him into the midst of the league championship race with the Hawks.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01562/2402384-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="237" height="421"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Camille Henry</b></figcaption></div><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s getting better all the time, though,&rdquo; said the tiny goal-scoring artist recently. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d always heard the Hawks had a good organization and the rumors were true.</p><p>&ldquo;And the fans and friends of the players in Chicago certainly treat a person well. I really was surprised when we came back from a road trip early one morning and there were several fans at the railroad station waiting to drive the players home.</p><p>&ldquo;That never happened in New York, and I was there for a long time.&rdquo;</p><p>Camille&rsquo;s small, fragile frame has taken considerable battering over the years and he&rsquo;s had to miss large chunks of several seasons because of serious injuries. But he insists he&rsquo;s in relatively good health at present, a contention backed by the fact that he&rsquo;s played in all of the Ranger games prior to the deal.</p><p>&ldquo;I really do feel that I&rsquo;m in pretty good shape,&rdquo; he said after a Stadium game as he removed what appeared to be several tons of protective gear, including a huge, steel enforced girdle.</p><p>&ldquo;Of course, I do have this back condition that probably will require an operation after the season. The trouble is what the doctor calls a narrowing disc low on my spine. I even have to wear a light brace off the ice.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m told it was caused by the poundings I&rsquo;ve taken over the seasons. The operation that can cure it would fuse a couple of the discs, I guess, and it would put me out of action for six months, but after that I&rsquo;d be able to do anything.</p><p>&ldquo;But because I will have to miss a few weeks of the season, I won&rsquo;t make any decision until I talk to the Hawk management.&rdquo;</p><p>If it is performed, the operation will be done by Ranger physician Kazuo Yanagisawa.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve know him a long time and have tremendous confidence in him,&rdquo; said Camille. &ldquo;Besides, he&rsquo;s done work on me before and everything has been great.&rdquo;</p><p>Although the 32-year-old Henry was acquired to beef up the Hawks&rsquo; attack&mdash;and particularly their saggy power-play&mdash;for the stretch run this season, future contributions he may make aren&rsquo;t being discounted.</p><p>&ldquo;You never can tell with a player as frail as Camille,&rdquo; said Coach Billy Reay. &ldquo;But I&rsquo;d say if he&rsquo;s handled right he ought to be able to help us for a couple of more seasons, at least.</p><p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s one of the greatest offensive hockey players in the game and a guy never loses his knack for putting the puck in the net.&rdquo;</p><p>Camille&rsquo;s debut with the Hawks was a tremendous success. He scored the first goal and assisted on the clinching marker by Doug Mohns during a 6-3 victory in Toronto.</p><p>&ldquo;I think I can help this team, though. At least I sure hope so.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Mikita Closes In On Crippled Hull

Here the rookie center attempts to bull his way past Montreal&rsquo;s JEAN-GUY TALBOT with the puck. The 195-pounder stands over six feet tall and is a rugged checker who goes hard both ways.</b></figcaption></div><p>TORONTO, Ont.</p><p>It was Jan. 2. The Rochester Americans were in Hershey and had just completed an American Hockey League game against the Bears. The arena switchboard had a message for Joe Crozier, coach and general manager of the Rochester club. He was to phone his boss, Punch Imlach, in Toronto.</p><p>Crozier flinched, for he knew what was coming. Leafs had been running into serious injuries and Imlach, the coach, needed reinforcements, even though, as head of the Toronto hockey organization, he hated to weaken any of his farm clubs.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll need Stemkowski in New York tomorrow night,&rdquo; Imlach told Crozier.</p><p>And so it was that Pete Stemkowski, a 21-year-old right out of junior hockey, got his promotion to the National League lineup. He caught a train bound for New York and sat up all night and almost all day to get to Madison Square Garden in time for Leafs&rsquo; match.</p><p>Leafs promptly began a six-game unbeaten streak and Stemkowski fit in so neatly that Imlach decided to keep him.</p><p>Some complex paper work was required. Theoretically, Stemkowski was restored to the Rochester roster, Leafs&rsquo; manpower shortage having ended. Then he was made a permanent recall. Subsequently, Don McKenney, then Jim Pappin, were sent down to plug the holes in Crozier&rsquo;s lineup.</p><p>Stemkowski, of course, is too late to qualify as the NHL&rsquo;s top 1964-65 rookie. Leafs&rsquo; Ron Ellis, Stemkowski&rsquo;s right-wing partner now, is very much in the running, just behind Detroit&rsquo;s Roger Crozier and ahead of Chicago&rsquo;s Denis DeJordy. No matter how well he plays, Stemkowski just can&rsquo;t collect enough votes to beat out those midseason leaders. And he&rsquo;ll have played too many games to be eligible next year.</p><p>&ldquo;But he&rsquo;s just what we needed,&rdquo; Imlach says. &ldquo;As you know, I&rsquo;ve always thought our strength at center ice had a great deal to do with our three straight Stanley Cup wins. We have Bob Pulford, Dave Keon and Red Kelly, with Billy Harris as the best extra centre in hockey.</p><p>&ldquo;Well then, the situation at left wing got so bad, I had to move Kelly there. And that left us much weaker at center.</p><p>&ldquo;I tried Andy Bathgate there for a while. Then George Armstrong had a shot and did a reasonable job. But Stemkowski is the answer. He had to stay once I had a look at him.&rdquo;</p><h2>WINNIPEG PRODUCT MOVED EAST</h2><p>Stemkowski was born in Winnipeg and grew up there. Clark Simpson, Leafs&rsquo; talent scout in that Manitoba city, spotted him in minor competition and invited the club&rsquo;s chief scout, Bob Davidson, to come and have a look. Subsequently, Stemkowski was transferred to Leafs&rsquo; junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; farm club in Toronto, the Marlboros. He played there during the 1962-63 season and again</p><p>Stemkowski centered Marlboros&rsquo; first line with Ellis at right last year, when Marlies swept through to the Memorial Cup symbol of the national junior championship.</p><p>wing and Wayne Carleton on the left flank. Each scored more than 40 goals. Stemmer himself had 42 goals and 61 assists. Since he was to become 21 in August, he was graduated from junior hockey and taken to Leafs&rsquo; training camp at Peterborough, Ont.</p><p>&ldquo;I was sure he&rsquo;d need a full season in the minors to get ready for the NHL,&rdquo; says Jim Gregory, the Marlboro coach who has the satisfaction now of seeing three of his 1963-64 pupils in bigleague uniforms, Stemkowski and Ellis with Leafs, Rod Seiling with New York Rangers.</p><p>&ldquo;But Stemmer has matured tremendously,&rdquo; Gregory adds. &ldquo;Whoever worked on him in Rochester, Joe Crozier or some veteran players&mdash;probably both&mdash;did a good job. He&rsquo;s a major leaguer now.&rdquo;</p><p>Stemkowski has found his niche at center between Ellis and Frank Mahovlich. He and Ellis are used to each other, of course, and Stemmer seems to be just the sort of co-worker the Big M needs&mdash;rangy and fast and an intelligent playmaker.</p><p>In addition, Stemkowski is so rangy (six-foot-one, 195 pounds) that he forechecks effectively.</p><p>In the first 16 games Stemkowski worked, restoring that splendid balance Imlach emphasizes, Leafs won nine and tied three, moving to within quick striking distance of the NHL leaders.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

He has instilled good habits in both Stemkowski and Ellis according to Leafs&rsquo; observers. Both players have demonstrated since their elevation to the NHL that they know how to play their position and they make the correct moves on defense as well. Both attributes are a tribute to Gregory&rsquo;s coaching.</p><p>Despite the addition of freshmen Stemkowski, 21, and Ellis, 20, Leafs remain the NHL&rsquo;s oldest team with an average age of 30.5.

Even a scoring burst by rookie Doug Robinson, who replaced Cammy at left wing on the now dissolved French Line, failed to take the heat off the front office.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-01625/2402570-1-eng-US/f0004-012.jpg" title="f0004-01" width="276" height="419"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Doug Robinson</b></figcaption></div><p>Robinson, who along with winger John Brenneman and veteran defenseman Wayne Hillman comprised Chicago&rsquo;s portion of the seven p1ayer package, tallied twice in the Blues&rsquo; 8-3 romp over the Bruins, Feb. 7 The two goals matched the total Robinson had tallied in 40 games for Chicago. Henry was one of the most popular Ranger players and his 248 lifetime goals had made him the club&rsquo;s second best alltime goalgetter. He had 21 prior to the trade and to diehard fans it is going to take more than a two-goal game, or several of them, before Robinson replaces Cammy in their affection.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re building for the future,&rdquo; general manager Emile Francis said when he anounced the trade, Feb. 4. &ldquo;We got three young players who will give us the depth we needed. We hated to part with Cammy but you have to give up something to get something. Then, too, Henry is 32 and he has a physical problem with his back that could cut short his career.&rdquo;</p><p>While there was no sustained objection to Francis&rsquo; reason for the trade, steady Ranger fans were wondering how often the club is going to be rebuilt. Francis is making a big try, make no mistake about that. But it&rsquo;s a little hard to ask longtime customers who have been paying first division prices for second division teams for years to be patient.</p><p>The Rangers have achieved the playoffs only six times in the last 23 seasons and they&rsquo;ve undergone rebuilding so many times the fans have lost count. What they&rsquo;re afraid of right now is that Francis&rsquo; efforts at renovation will have the same result as the ones that allegedly preceded it.</p><p>The Cat is new on the job and he can&rsquo;t be held responsible for what went before. Francis is a knowledgeable hockey man and deserves a chance to launch his rebuilding program, but it&rsquo;s still a difficult thing to ask loyal fans to wait still awhile longer for the winning hockey team that was promised not only to them but to their fathers before them.</p><p>Francis pointed out that the trio he got from the Hawks had all been protected by Chicago. Robinson, however, was the only one of the three who was on the Hawk roster at the time of the deal, Brenneman, 23, and the 26-year-old Hillman were playing in St. Louis.</p><p>In addition to Henry, the Rangers surrendered defenseman Don Johns, center Bill Taylor and a player to be named at the end of the current season. It was the second multiple trade the Blues had swung in less than a year. Last February they alienated a large segment of their fans by sending Andy Bathgate to Toronto.</p><p>Francis, who admitted Henry would never have been traded if the club had been in a better position, said the deal had been &ldquo;on and off for three months.&rdquo; Both he and coach Red Sullivan lauded Cammy&rsquo;s production during his 11-years here.</p><p>&ldquo;He was a big asset both on and off the ice,&rdquo; they chorused. &ldquo;I still think Cammy is the best goal scorer in the league and he&rsquo;s a good checker,&rdquo; Sullivan added. Henry, who said he was &ldquo;shocked but not surprised&rdquo;, when he was informed of his trade, admitted that he suspected he would be the one to go if a major deal was pulled.</p><p>Both Sullivan and Francis left themselves open to some sharp criticism when they said the deal not only gave them the nucleus for the future but &ldquo;gives us a chance to make the playoffs this season.&rdquo;</p><p>Fans who had difficulty digesting the trade found it very difficult to even swallow that line.</p><p>Sullivan inserted the 24-year-old Robinson at left wing on the line with Phil Goyete and Rod Gilbert. They welcomed their new partner because of his 6-3 height and 195 pounds gives them the opportunity of getting some physical protection.</p><p>Hillman, who played two years with the Hawks before going to St. Loo, was placed with Jim Neilson on the backline. &ldquo;By teaming Wayne with Jim I can spot Rod Seiling,&rdquo; Sullivan said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s tough to expect a 20-year rookie like Rod to take a regular turn.&rdquo;</p><p><b>THE RED LINE:</b> In weekend series (Feb. 6-7) vs Boston, the line of Goyette-Gilbert and Robinson accounted for six of the 10 goals the Rangers scored&hellip;Marcel Paille replaced Jacques Plante in the nets in the Bruin series. &ldquo;I just wanted to give Jacques a rest,&rdquo; Sullivan explained&hellip;Arnie Brown and Harry Howell tallied their first goals of the season in the Feb. 7 cinch over the Bruins&hellip;Brown looks like he&rsquo;s auditioning for a spot on &lsquo;The Munsters.&rdquo; He took six stitches for a cut on his forehead against the Hawks, Feb. 3, and between the sutures and the grotesque swelling he looked anything but handsome&hellip;Rod Gilbert scored twice in the 8-3 win over Boston. The second marker was his 20th of the season. The goals were Rod&rsquo;s first in nine games&hellip;Ranger prexy Bill Jennings told N.Y. Hockey Writers&rsquo; Association: &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not planning anymore major deals this season.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

RESIDENT SUMMER HOCKEY CAMP

<p><i>(This</i> is <i>the fourth in an exclusive weekly series of features dealing with statistics on NHL goalkeepers compiled specially for THE HOCKEY NEWS.</i></p><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>The Vezma Trophyis the summit of goaltending achievement and the guarantee of a listing among the all-time greats as long as the National Hockey League exists.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01583/2402701-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="250" height="413"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Al Rollins</b></figcaption></div><p>While the terms of reference governing seasonal winners has been from time to time under fire, there is rarely dispute that the man pocketing the $1,000 prize and getting his name engraved on the silverware is deserving.</p><p>Most of the critics pinpoint the fact that it is in reality a team trophy, rather than an individual award. This is a fact that the NHL has never denied because it is written into the rules that it goes to the netminder appearing in the most games with the team having the fewest goals scored against it.</p><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03430/2402694-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg" title="f0005-03" width="1103" height="1034"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>TERRY SAWCHUK&hellip;Keeping Team In Cup Fight</b></figcaption></div><p>The main argument against the system is that it doesn&rsquo;t allow for a great goaler playing with <i>a</i> mediocre team or an average cage cop toiling behind a powerhouse defence.</p><p>If anything, the future will hold more dispute than ever because of the advent of plattoning goalers. Now those who dislike or disagree with the system have one beef, eventually they could have two because the award could end up going to a goaler playing slightly more than a half season.</p><p>At present, that situation is a very real one. Rookie Roger Crozier of Detroit is a one man show and in the thick of the trophy fighting. Giving him the biggest opposition at the moment is Toronto&mdash;with Johnny Bower and Terry Sawchuk alligned against him. Chicago, with Glenn Hall and Denis Dejordy is there swinging while Montreal, with Charlie Hodge and Gump Worsley, is far from completely out.</p><p>The situation&mdash;especially involving Detroit and Toronto&mdash;sparks the memory of the 1950-51 campaign when the venerable old trophy was in the middle of its biggest controversy. Sawchuk, then a rookie, had played in all 70 of the Red Wings&rsquo; games. In Toronto, rookie Al Rollins and veteran Turk Broda had split the season. The result, the Vezina went to Maple Leafs by a 138-139 margin.</p><p>Rollins, under the established rules, took the award. He played 40 games. The breakdown showed Sawchuk 70 games, 139 goals against and 11 shutouts. Rollins had 40 games, 70 goals and five shutouts while Broda worked the rest with 68 goals against and six shutouts.</p><p>Demands came out of Detroit that the rules be changed to force a goaler to play at least 55 games to be eligible and that empty net goals should not be allowed in tabulations. Rollins, meanwhile, stands as the best man who played the fewest games in history&mdash;relative to the length of the schedule&mdash;while winning the award.</p><p>The finish of the season that year was jammed with drama as the Leafs chose to go with Rollins in the final three games to let him win or lose it on his own merits. He responded with shoutouts against Montreal and Boston and a one goal against the Bruins.</p><p>Sawchuk found the going a little rough. He went into the week leading by two. Against New York he made 36 saves but allowed a goal to see his lead chopped in half because that was the night of Rollins&rsquo; shutout against the Habs.</p><p>On the second last night of the season, while Rollins was yielding one to Boston, Sawchuk was given a rough workout at Montreal and dropped a 3-2 decision that put him behind in the race. The following night each man came up with a goose-egg&mdash;Rollins over Boston 1-0 and Sawchuk against Canadiens, 5-0.</p><p>As it turned out, it was Billy Reay&mdash;now Chicago coach&mdash;who cost Sawchuk the NHL dollars and trophy and sent them to Rollins. Reay poked in a rebound for the third goal of the game, after Rocket Richard and Kenny Mosdell had hit earlier, and that was it.</p><p>This year, Sawchuk is on the other side of the fence&mdash;one half of a tandem battling for the award. If it boils down to a Leaf-Wing scrap, the general situation is almost the same because Crozier intends to be a full season goaler while Sawchuk and Bower are definitely headed for a near split on the season.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

I think the selections are excellent.</p><p>Mr. Clancy states that the Maple Leafs have four defencemen better than Pierre Pilote of Chicago. Carl Brewer is the only name that springs to my mind and the selectors gave him a respectable number of votes. As for the selection of Mikita and Ullman as the centres, I can&rsquo;t really believe that Mr. Clancy is serious in suggesting that Bob Pulford ranks over them. His statement about Camille Henry is the most ridiculous to my way of thinking. Camille is most worthy of his selection. Also, Ron Ellis is undoubtedly a great young rookie but how can anyone place him ahead of Provost, Gilbert and Howe?</p><p>I am looking forward to your fan all star selections.

Mikita is twice the center Bob Pulford is and as of this writing has forty-seven points to Pulford&rsquo;s twenty-six. Coach Reay has given Mikita nmuch credit in connection with the Hawks&rsquo; recent hockey success. Also, Henri Richard is the best centre in the league.</p><p>I began subscribing to &ldquo;THE HOCKEY NEWS&rdquo; just recently and think it is extremely informative.

I&rsquo;m getting tired of reading letters sent in by fans who are so mad that Ted Green didn&rsquo;t make the All Stars. Green has a long way to go before he replaces the Howells, Gadsbys, Pilotes and Laperrieres.</p><p>The Fan Forum is the greatest thing that happened to THE HOCKEY NEWS in the five years I&rsquo;ve been a subscriber.

The &ldquo;Windy City&rdquo; fans are just as puzzled&mdash;it not more so. How a true and deserving player such as Teddy, one who has played his heart out and is having his best season ever, can be passed up in favor of some of those chosen, is truly a shame.</p><p><b>Patricia Knaus,</b>&nbsp;<br>Chicago, Illinois.</p><h2><b>Sees Howell, Gadsby Better Than Green</b></h2><p>Hockey News Editor:</p><p>In direct reply to an article by Ray Snell of Milton, Mass., I suggest that he observe Messrs. Howell and Gadsby more closely before he calls them &ldquo;antiques.&rdquo; When Green learns how to clear pucks, block &bull;shots, and ride men out of plays with the adroitness and savvy of Howell and Gadsby, then he can be considered for All Star status. I was surprised to see that the All Star selectors gave Green more votes than proven stars like Horton, Vasko, M. Pronovost, Baun and Stanley.</p><p>I also want to congratulate you on your excellent publication. This is THE HOCKEY NEWS&rsquo; greatest year.</p><p><b>Les Gurvitch,</b>&nbsp;<br>Brooklyn, New York.</p><h2><b>Fan Seeks Clarification Of Hockey Farm Clubs</b></h2><p>Hockey News Editor:</p><p>I am a great hockey follower, but am a little confused regarding the N.H.L. and their farm teams. For example, Montreal Canadiens, of the N.H.L., own Omaha Knights of the C.P.H.L., and <i>I</i> understand they own the Peterborough Petes of the O.H.A., along with the Junior Montreal Canadiens, also of the O.H.A.</p><p>I shall be watching Fan Forum to see if I am right about &ldquo;who owns whom&rdquo; in the big and little hockey world.</p><p><b>Andrew Tetrault,</b>&nbsp;<br>Ludlow, Mass.</p><p>(Editor&rsquo;s Note: Montreal Canadiens don&rsquo;t own Omaha or Peterborough. They merely provide them with players. If you care to consult our various hockey standings in this paper you will see what teams are &lsquo;affiliated&rsquo; with NHL teams by simply following the outlined legend.)</p><h2><b>Worsley Best Goaler In Reader&rsquo;s Opinion</b></h2><p>Hockey News Editor:</p><p>The fine job done by &ldquo;Gump&rdquo; Worsley in the Montreal nets since being recalled proves to me why Charlie Hodge was so effective and why he got so much credit last season. It was not so much because of his greatness but because of the fine play of the Montreal defence. Any N.H.L. goaler could do the same thing with such a defence in front of him and Worsley proves that now. In my opinion, Worsley would have kept the Canadiens&rsquo; goals against average even lower had he played the season for Montreal last year. If Canadiens&rsquo; management keeps him for the rest of the season, Montreal is going to win the regular season championship and possibly the Stanley Cup.</p><p>I also would like to commend you on your fine paper.

Kennedy Out For Season With Injury

<div class="byline">BY LEO MONAHAN</div><p>BOSTON, Mass.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02556/2403008-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="276" height="408"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Jeannot Gilbert</b></figcaption></div><p>The Bruins, as usual, are waiting &lsquo;til next year, and while they are revving their motors they also are trying to get a line on some of the younger players in their system. The remaining games of the season, in fact, will be dedicated to the study and appraisal of young players, which explains the recent recall of 22-year-old defenseman Bob Woytowich from Hershey and center Jeannot Gilbert, 24, from Providence of the American League.</p><p>The B&rsquo;s now have more than a dozen under-25 players on their roster and it is around them that they are planning for the future.</p><p>&ldquo;Woytowich,&rdquo; says Coach Milt Schmidt, &ldquo;has impressed me in the few games he has played and I&rsquo;m going to give Gilbert a good chance to show if he can play in this league.&rdquo;</p><p>Woytowich picked up assists in his first two NHL outings and caught Schmidt&rsquo;s fancy with his position play and the deft way he passes up to his forwards.</p><p>&ldquo;He has that little flip pass up along the boards that is so effective,&rdquo; said Milt. &ldquo;The kid plays position well, too. Of course he still has to prove himself over a distance of ground, but from what I&rsquo;ve seen, he has a lot going for him.&rdquo;</p><p>The Bruins, strangely, never would have acquired Woytowich&mdash;drafted from New York last June&mdash;if Muzz Patrick, then the Ranger General Manager, hadn&rsquo;t crossed up brother Lynn, his opposite number with the B&rsquo;s.</p><p>Here&rsquo;s the story:</p><p>The B&rsquo;s drafted Jim Mikal and the next day had to prepare their list of protected players for the intra-league draft. It figured that if anybody was interested in Mikal, it would be the Rangers, so Lynn contacted Muzz.</p><p>&ldquo;Are you drafting tomorrow?&rdquo; asked Lynn.</p><p>&ldquo;Nope,&rdquo; said Muzz.</p><p>Thus Boston took a calculated risk and left Mikol unprotected. The Rangers promptly drafted him for $20,000 and Boston&rsquo;s brass took the steam.</p><p>The Bruins had all that money in hand, so they figured they&rsquo;d get even with New York by picking up Woytowich, who was dropped when Mikol was added.</p><p>Well, Mikol was shipped out after a trial in New York, but Woytowich, judging from early performances at least, has a good chance to make it.</p><p>Gilbert, who played senior hockey for Clinton in the Eastern League after graduating from Junior, is in his third pro season. He had a five-game tryout with the B&rsquo;s a year ago and didn&rsquo;t exactly burn up the league.</p><p>However, the 165-pound center was voted the MVP in the Central League with Minneapolis last season, racking up 100 points with 50 goals, and he had been playing well for Fernie Flaman&rsquo;s Providence Reds.</p><p><b>AROUND THE HUB</b>&mdash;General Manager Lynn Patrick is on an extended scouting trip and will concentrate on Western League games in the Pacific Northwest. One of the prospects Patrick wants to study is blond Pat Stapleton, who had a previous shot in the NHL on defense, but now is playing center for Portland. &lsquo;&lsquo;I&rsquo;ve had pretty good reports on Stapleton and a couple of other guys,&rdquo; said Patrick before departing.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

HOCKEY…Quiz

<div class="byline">BY GIL SMITH</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>There was a time, not so long ago, when the goalie for the Montreal Canadiens was looked upon with will concealed envy by other netminders in hockey.</p><p>That was in the days when the team was running roughshod over the competition, and Jacques Plante ruled supreme in the Habs net. While the Canadiens piled up Stanley Cups from 1955-56 to 1959-60, Plante piled up Vezina Trophys and the extra loot that went with them. His position was unchallenged. He brooked no sloppiness on the part of his defensemen, and didn&rsquo;t hesitate to blast them if they failed to clear the puck. He instructed forwards on shooting techniques. And, if he didn&rsquo;t feel well and couldn&rsquo;t &ldquo;go on,&rdquo; somebody like Charlie Hodge would be hustled into the breach,&mdash;but only temporarily. When Plante was ready to return, the substitute was out no mater how well he&rsquo;d played.</p><p>Those days are gone, however. And, they may be gone for good.</p><p>The Canadien goalie today,&mdash;whoever he is,&mdash;is faced with a far different situation than the one Plante had. He&rsquo;ll find that the job still pays well, the hours are excellent, but the security is practically nil. A couple of men named Worsley and Hodge have found out about this, especially in recent weeks.</p><p>It&rsquo;s hard to figure where the greater irony lies when it comes to the Gumper and Hodge. When Worsley came to Canadiens, it looked like the chance of a lifetime for him. After years of being shelled behind inferior Ranger teams, he was finally getting to play with one of the top squads. He appeared to have made it in every direction. Instead, he wound up in Quebec, the victim of an injury and a sensational streak of goaling by the perennial sub, Charlie Hodge. It was more than a year before Worsley got back into a Canadien uniform, and then he arrived in time for the team&rsquo;s worst performance in 15 seasons.</p><p>The gods of Fate didn&rsquo;t confine to making things tough for Worsley, though. They saved some of their best moves for Charlie Hodge, and, as usual, their timing was flawless. No sooner had Hodge made the first All-Star team and become Vezina leader at the halfway mark, than Habs announced they were benching him. After a year and a half as the regular Hab goalie, Charlie was back in a standby role.</p><p>The switching around of goalies on the part of Canadiens was necessary, of course, to halt the skid that the team was in this month. It checks out with the old formula of &ldquo;&mdash;never stay with a losing combination, etc.&rdquo; But, while the goalies were anything but sharp in some of the pastings Habs took during their slump, the rest of the team was as bad. It would be interesting to consider how many goals were scored against Habs on rebounds; after either Worsley or Hodge had made the first big stop and the puck was left lying out in front by the defense. As for the forwards, one only has to remember that Habs were outshot 66 to 126 in their five-game losing streak; and most of the Montreal shots were harmless.</p><p>However, it&rsquo;s the goalies who are in the greatest danger of losing their jobs during these team letdowns. Whoever&rsquo;s in the net when a club begins to falter, will likely be replaced in a hurry. That doesn&rsquo;t say much for security, as far as current Canadien netminders are concerned. But, it&rsquo;s part of the price they must pay.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01637/2403153-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="509" height="715"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>CHARLIE HODGE&hellip;In And Out Of Net</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Habs’ Goaling Job Pays Well, Hours Good But Security Nil

<div class="byline">BY JIM PROUDFOOT</div><p>TORONTO, Ont.</p><p>Maple Leafs could have sold or traded Jim Pappin to an: of several other National Hockey League clubs but chose to kee, him instead and sent him down to their American League fare team at Rochester, N. Y.</p><p>&ldquo;I prefer it that way,&rdquo; Pappin said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d sooner be farmei out in the Leaf organization than play elsewhere in the NHL. know I&rsquo;ll get another chance next season or maybe later this year if I play well in Rochester.&rsquo;&rsquo;</p><p>Pappin was the second Leaf player to join the Rochester club Don McKenney was the first. And a third demotion was in th cards, as coach Punch Imlach tried to unravel an overcrowdei lineup. Even after McKenney and Pappin were gone, Leaf were one over the roster maximum with 12 forwards.</p><p>Leafs had that many around all along but injuries prevents them from dropping any of them. But as soon as they were all healthy, Imlach found he was paying somebody an NHL salar; for doing nothing.</p><p>Several Rochester workmen, apart from Pappin and McKen ney, would receive big-league wages, too&mdash;Ed Litzenberger, for example, Bronco Horvath, Larry Hillman and Al Arbour, to name a few.</p><p>With the farm system continuing to develop excellent pros pects, there was great pressure on Imlach to shake things up and turn over some of his talent.</p><p>The whole situation had to be sorted out by Feb. 14, the way Imlach saw it.</p><p>Any player sent to the AHL must stay down 14 days. Profes sional lineups are frozen Feb. 28 and, except for emergencies created by injuries, there can be no recall until the farm club in question has been eliminated from its playoffs. Imlach wanted to make any changes before the 14th, therefore, so he&rsquo;d be free to recall anybody he chose for use during the final month of the schedule, followed by the playdowns.</p><p>There was a good chance, in other words, that McKenney or Pappin and probably both would be returned to the NHL very shortly.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">BY KEN McKEE</div><p>(As Seen In The Toronto Globe & Mail)</p><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Four former National Hockey League officials presented their evidence for charges that the NHL&rsquo;s officiating system was something less than ideal, efficient, or even completely honest.</p><p>Ex-referees Dalton McArthur, Eddie Powers and Jack Mehlenbacher and linesman George Hayes reiterated and expanded on all the previously publicized charges, the main item being McArthur&rsquo;s allegation that he had been told to favor New York Rangers in a game at Boston in 1962.</p><p>However, this amounted to re-hash in the case.</p><p>They also presented new material:</p><p>1. A statutory declaration by ex-referee Lou Farelli that he too had been told to favor one team, Buffalo over Hershey, in an American League final in 1959.</p><p>2. A claim by Mehlenbacher that he was told to go easy on Chicago Black Hawks in the mid-50s when Hawks were in last place and drawing fewer than 5,000 at home.</p><p>3. An allegation that refereein-chief Carl Voss was forced into premature retirement as result of behind the closed-doors criticism during the NHL governor meeting in New York two weeks ago.</p><p>4. A suggestion by Hayes that he had blackmailed the NHL into rehiring him last fall after threatening to demand an investigation of that Boston-New York game if he was not rehired.</p><p>Farelli who quit the league in a salary dispute did not attend the meeting. Lawyer Ralph Brown of Toronto went to North Bay this week to obtain a sworn statement. It read in part:</p><p>&ldquo;&hellip;he (Voss) pointed out that Hershey was leading the series by two games and that they, Buffalo, were playing before a home crowd and he advised me that if there were going to be any penalties called against Buffalo, they were to be good ones. I did not ask him what he meant by good penalties. However, I took (Voss) to mean I was to favor Buffalo&hellip;&rdquo;</p><p>The officials cited a taped radio interview broadcast as evidence that Voss was pushed into retirement. Station CHUM said the tape was made after the story off the criticism broke from New York, but before Campbell announced Voss&rsquo; retirement.</p><p>Voss was asked if he was quitting and he replied &ldquo;no, no&hellip;this is all news to me really.&rdquo; A newscaster added &lsquo;Voss also said he planned to stick around until retirement age.&rdquo;</p><p>Mehlenbacher said &ldquo;I was told to look after Chicago. Don&rsquo;t call a double penalty. If you do, it&rsquo;ll be murder.&rdquo; He said Voss gave the orders.</p><p>The official, whose contract was not renewed in 1956 said &ldquo;I was told in &lsquo;55 that I was the No. 1 official and would get a raise in &lsquo;56. Then they didn&rsquo;t even offer me a contract. I read in the paper that I was out, I still haven&rsquo;t been told why.&rdquo;</p><p>Campbell said &ldquo;the decision was made by the governors, not by Mr. Voss or myself.&rdquo;</p><p>Hayes candidly admitted he threatened the NHL in order to get a new contract and he added &ldquo;it&rsquo;s the only way I could get it.&rdquo;</p><p>Hayes and Atanas had written letters backing McArthur at the time of the game in Boston. When McArthur first made his charges public in January 1964, these letters were not presented, allegedly because the jobs of the men in question would be jeopardized as they were still in the NHL.</p><p>Hayes, according to Voss, repeatedly denied their existence, and in an exchange of letters last summer challenged Hayes&rsquo; loyalty.</p><p>He demanded &ldquo;complete assurance that (Hayes was) prepared to abide by the simple basic requirements of loyalty expected&hellip;&rdquo; before forwarding a contract. Hayes said he never gave this pledge, but got the contract anyway. &lsquo;&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think I was fired over the eye test. I think it was this business.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Mehlenbacher Farelli Add Interference Charges

<div class="byline">BY DINK CARROLL</div><p>(As Seen In The Montreal Gazette)</p><h2><b>Powers Press Conference</b></h2><p>Both Conn Smythe, former president of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Frank Selke, sr., who is still active in an advisory capacity with the Canadiens, discussed the charges made by three former National Hockey League referees and a linesman of manipulating games.</p><p>The reason for the discussion was a press conference called in Toronto by Eddie Bowers, who resigned from his job as an NHL referee last season because he did not think the $200 fine that Clarence Campbell, the league president, had assessed Toe Blake for some indiscrete remarks the coach of the Canadiens had made about him was a severe enough penalty. The remarks were made after a game, which was refereed by Powers, and you will hear them made a dozen times a season in a losing team&rsquo;s dressing room.</p><p>They are made in anger and are ill-considered statements, but this time there was a reporter present and they were printed in a Montreal newspaper. Powers subsequently brought suit against Blake, the Canadien Hockey Club and the paper, which was settled out of court.</p><p>But apparently the former referee is not yet satisfied, hence the press conference. He had two former confreres, Dalton McArthur and Jack Mehlenbacher, and a linesman, George Hayes, to tell the packed conference about a game in Boston on March 22, 1962, in which he (Powers) considered an attempt to manipulate the outcome had taken place.</p><h2><b>An Important Point</b></h2><p>The charges are old stuff, but if the former officials keep reiterating them it&rsquo;s obvious that the governors of the league will have to do something about them.</p><p>The charges were first aired on a television program near the end of last season and they were repeated in an article in Sport magazine last October.</p><p>&ldquo;I want to go on record that I know of no player, coach or manager who would have anything to do with attempts to fix or adjust the outcome of a game,&rdquo; Dalton McArthur is quoted as saying in the article.-&rdquo;However, the NHL&rsquo;s referee-in-chief (Carl Voss) and his immediate supervisor (Clarence Campbell) have tried to influence the assessment of penalties at various times.&rdquo;</p><p>McArthur then stated that he was instructed by Voss to call only the most obvious penalties against the New York Rangers in that game against the Bruins in Boston in 1962.</p><p>&ldquo;Any penalties you call against New York tonight must be good penalties,&rdquo; McArthur says he was told by Voss before the game.</p><p>Voss, who said he was resigning his post as referee-in-chief at the end of the season, has answered that charge by saying he did instruct McArthur to &ldquo;call only good penalties,&rdquo; because it was an important game which could decide whether the Rangers or the Detroit Red Wings made the last play-off position. But he denied that he mentioned the Rangers to McArthur.</p><p>That would seem to be a very important point. If Voss didn&rsquo;t mention the Rangers, the charges are empty.</p><h2><b>It&rsquo;s Time to Clear the Air</b></h2><p>Eddie Powers complained in the magazine piece about inconsistency and interference from the league office.</p><p>&ldquo;A referee would call a game a certain way in one period and then be told he&rsquo;s calling it too close,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Another time he&rsquo;d let everything go and be told he&rsquo;s not calling it close enough. What&rsquo;s a guy supposed to do&mdash;read their minds?&rdquo;</p><p>There&rsquo;s nothing new in that, either. Everybody who has followed hockey for any length of time knows there are games in which the referees rule strictly according to the book and others in which they use their own judgment. They also know that in close games no penalties are called in the closing minutes unless they are glaring infractions.</p><p>It&rsquo;s all too apparent that the former referees are fiercely resentful of Messrs. Campbell and Voss because they did not back them up when attacks were made on their competence. Not only that, but there have been occasions when the league president blasted them publicly. If they can&rsquo;t get support from the league office, they aren&rsquo;t going to get it from any other quarter. If they goof, they should be told so in private and that should be enough to keep them on their toes.</p><p>After press conferences like the one Powers called, the fans are beginning to ask questions. Now it&rsquo;s up to the board of governors to take some action to clear the air. Merely saying that the charges are old stuff isn&rsquo;t enough.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

AMERICAN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">BY JOE GORDON</div><p>PITTSBURGH, Pa.,&mdash;</p><p>While the Pittsburgh Hornets continue to play in-and-out hockey as they have all season, right winger Lowe11 MacDonald has regained the form that has made him one of the most-feared marksmen in the league.</p><p>Along with his teammates, MacDonald couldn&rsquo;t seem to untrack for the first half of the schedule and it wasn&rsquo;t until he returned from a short stay with the parent Detroit Red Wings that the high-scoring forward started playing in the manner to which Pittsburgh hockey fans have become accustomed.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-01605/2403712-1-eng-US/f0012-012.jpg" title="f0012-01" width="253" height="447"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Lowell MacDonald</b></figcaption></div><p>Going into the month of January, MacDonald had just five goals and a like number of assists. During the first month of the new year he scored four goals and racked up 14 assists in 15 games. He chalked up three more goals in the first week of February.</p><p>Always a high scorer, the 23-year-old sharpshooter tallied 51 goals in his first 100 games in the American Hockey League. On last year&rsquo;s Western Division championship team, Lowell scored 31 goals which placed him second on the club. And best of all, he seems to have the facility for getting the goals when they are most needed. Of his 31 goals last season, six of them were winning scores and five were tieing markers. In his last season of junior hockey he lit the red light 46 times in 50 games as the Hamilton Jr. Red Wings won the Memorial Cup.</p><p>In addition to his pick up in the scaring department, MacDonald has exhibited talents in other phases of his game not previously seen. Such as his ability to kill penalties. Because of an acute manpower shortage, Hornet Coach Vic Stasiuk was forced to call on the strongskating MacDonald to put in ice time while the opposition had an advantage and he has performed handsomely. In fact, Stasiuk intends using him in this department for the balance of the season. &ldquo;He has always been a strong skater, and I really don&rsquo;t know why we haven&rsquo;t used him to kill penalties before, but there never has been any real reason why he couldn&rsquo;t be good at it,&rdquo; said Stasiuk.</p><p>MacDonald&rsquo;s recent strong performance helped to trigger a juggling move by Stasiuk as he sought a solution to the lack of scoring by his club. Stasiuk switched centerman Ted Hampson to a line with MacDonald and Fred Hilts on the wings with the hope that he could come up with a &ldquo;Production Line,&rdquo; a tag belonged previously to a unit composed of Hampson with Claude LaForge and Jerry Toppazzini on the wings.</p><p>A knee injury to LaForge sidelined the veteran wing and prompted Stasiuk to switch his forwards around Bob Dillabough, who just recovered from a badly bruised left shoulder which he sustained when a thoughtless fan threw a foreign abject on the ice and caused him to trip into the boards, is centering the second line, flanked by Stasiuk and Toppazzini. The third line remains intact with Murray Hall centering for Irv Spencer and Duke Harris.</p><p>Stasiuk feels that injuries have not permitted his forward units enough time together to become familiar with each others moves and blames this for the club&rsquo;s low production offensively. He is hopeful of having rookie Butch Paul back for the last month of season as the Wasps battle off the Cleveland Barons&rsquo; threat for the last playoff berth in the Western Division.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

American Hockey League Summaries

<div class="byline">By BUSTER CLEGG</div><p>PROVIDENCE, R.I.&mdash;</p><p>Willie Marshall of the Rhode Island Reds has become only the second player in American Hockey League history to score 400 lifetime goals.</p><p>The 34-year-old Marshall, now in his 13th season in the AHL, accomplished the remarkable feat before the home folk in Providence on Sunday, Feb 7th, scoring two first period goals against the Baltimore Clippers. Three nights later Willie bagged his 401st and thereby hit the 1.000 mark in points.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-01598/2403893-1-eng-US/f0013-012.jpg" title="f0013-01" width="241" height="405"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Ab McDonald</b></figcaption></div><p>The veteran centre first tipped in a long blueline blast of Edd MacQueen&rsquo;s at 7:59 of the initial period, then about eight minutes later scored on a sharp angle off to the left of Gil Boisvert, the Baltimore goalie.</p><p>Seconds later, the announcement of Marshall&rsquo;s achievement was made to the Providence audience and in turn the Reds&rsquo; fans gave Willie a tremendous ovation, which he doubtless will never forget.</p><p>In getting the pair of goals, Marshall joined ageless Fred Glover, Cleveland&rsquo;s playercoach, as the only players to have ever reached the charmed 400 circle. Glover, 37, scored his 400th back in 1961-62, but has been in the league four more years than Willie.</p><p>As this edition of the HOCKEY NEWS goes to press, Marshall has picked up his 400th goal, 600th assist and 1000th point, both plateaus of which only Glover has accomplished, too.</p><p>While Willie was going about setting his records, he also was working with a new left winger&mdash;Ab McDonald. The 29-year-old McDonald came to the Reds on Feb. 6th on loan from the Bruins as a replacement for young Jeannot Gilbert, who was called up to Boston.</p><p>Gilbert, of course, was the Reds leading scorer at the time of his departure, with 22 goals and 20 assists. However, McDonald made his presence known immediately by scoring an important goal in his first game, helping the Reds to a 3-2 victory in Cleveland.</p><p>McDonald is a big fellow, standing 6-foot-2 and weighing a solid 194 pounds, and coach Ferny Flaman is looking to the NHL veteran to give the Roosters more muscle in the corners.</p><p>Flaman has put McDonald on the line with Marshall and Eddie Kachur and the trio seemed to work very smoothly and effectively in its first two games as it came up with three big goals.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-02554/2403886-1-eng-US/f0013-022.jpg" title="f0013-02" width="464" height="560"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>WILLIE MARSHALL&hellip;Still Going Strong</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Marshall Shoots 400th AHL Goal, Also Counts 1,000th Career Point

<div class="byline">BY HANS TANNER</div><p>ROCHESTER, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>Is Joe Crozier really masquerading a National Hockey League team in the uniforms of the Rochester Americans?</p><p>With the flow of talent from Toronto reaching the flood stage here, any resemblance between the Amerks and a minor league hockey club is purely coincidental.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-03515/2403924-1-eng-US/f0013-032.jpg" title="f0013-03" width="291" height="439"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Bronco Horvath</b></figcaption></div><p>And nobody can convince fans attending Rochester&rsquo;s last seven home games, at this writing, that the American League Americans couldn&rsquo;t more than hold their own in NHL competition at least with New York and Boston.</p><p>Local followers have some pretty solid facts to back up their feelings, too. Rochester has routed Baltimore 9-1, Springfield 7-3, Quebec 10-1, Cleveland 6-1, Pittsburgh 6-3, Providence 4-2 and Hershey 7-0 in the seven outings. That&rsquo;s 49 goals for and 11 against.</p><p>Latest arrival from the Maple Leafs is Jimmy Pappin, always a tremendous American Leaguer. Pappin, a 25-year-old speedy right wing, had 28 and 34-goal seasons for Rochester before going up to Toronto after netting 10 goals in 16 games here at the outset of last season. Jimmy picked up where he left off by netting two goals and assisting on three others in his first two appearances.</p><p>The Amerk lineup is enough to give opposing goaltenders the shakes just watching Rochester warm up before the game.</p><p>For example, in the Amerks&rsquo; 7-0 route of Hershey, Crozier had one unit composed of Bronco Horvath (runner-up in the AHL scoring race last season) at center between Gerry Ehman (the defending scoring champ) and hustling Stan Smrke. Every member of the line is in at least his 13th campaign of professional hockey, and all are exceptional American Leaguers. All three already have reached the 20-goal mark and are hustling like three rookies.</p><p>To spell that trio, Crozier could call on another pretty fair American League line of Eddie Litzenberger at center, Pappin at right wing and NHL veteran Don McKenney on the left side. Then there was the hard-checking, hustling line of Wally Boyer, Les Duff and Red Armstrong. And in reserve, recovering from a broken nose, was Dick Gamble, who already had popped in 28 goals this season.</p><p>The present Amerk lineup has to be the strongest of any club in AHL history.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Amerks Get ‘NHL’ Look As Leafs Send In Paonia

<div class="byline">BY SHEL FULLERTON</div><p>CLEVELAND, Ohio.&mdash;</p><p>In a 17-year American Hockey League career in which me sensational has come to be the expected and the unusual is commonplace, Cleveland Barons&rsquo; playing-coach Fred Glover reserved one of his more outstanding performances for the night of February 3, 1965.</p><p>In a 13-4 Cleveland romp over the Springfield Indians, Glover contributed two goals and three assists for a five-point total.</p><p>Five points for an AHL player is no great rarity. It has been accomplished many times.</p><p>But five points for a player in his 18th professional season, his 17th in one league and playing in his 1,000th AHL game, deserves more than passing notice.</p><p>Long after most players have called it a career, on a night that he reached a milestone few players ever attain, Glover still was firing at enemy nets and setting up scores by his teammates with the same proficiency that has marked his long career as the greatest scorer in AHL history.</p><p>Glover was not the first AHL player to reach the 1,000 game milestone. Harry Pidhirny of the Baltimore Clippers made it just one night before. But whereas Pidhirny now is spotted in the lineup only occasionally, Glover still is taking his full turn on the Barons&rsquo; front line, just as he has been doing for 13 seasons.</p><p>To make Glover&rsquo;s feat all the more newsworthy, his three assists all came on goals tallied by his younger brother, Howie, playing his third game of the season for the Barons. Howie&rsquo;s &ldquo;hat trick&rsquo;&rsquo; was scored on three successive goals in the third period, all coming within a span of six minutes and 16 seconds.</p><p>Hardly had the announcement been made prior to the game that Glover was playing his 1,000th AHL contest, than the Barons coach had lit the light twice. His first tally came in just 20 seconds, his second at the 3.43 mark. Howie Glover assisted on the first.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Fred Glover Makes Splash On Big 1,000-Game ‘Night’

<div class="byline">BY GEORGE TAYLOR</div><p>BALTIMORE, Md.&mdash;</p><p>From here on, Baltimore Clipper Coach Johnny Crawford will rely heavily on his veterans. If they don&rsquo;t fill the bill, Crawford is ready to take the blame. It&rsquo;s his decision.</p><p>The Clippers, who are embroiled in a bitter struggle with Springfield for third place in the AHL&rsquo;s Eastern Division, have alternated at brilliant and &ldquo;blah&rdquo; performances during the chase for the final play-off spot. And time is becoming a factor.</p><p>Crawford said: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve got to depend on my veterans. They are the only ones who sense the value of every point. I guess it&rsquo;s because they&rsquo;ve been through this before.</p><p>&ldquo;Sure it&rsquo;s still a long way to go before this thing is settled. But, we&rsquo;ve got to make them all count. It&rsquo;s now obvious that we can&rsquo;t back into the play-offs. If this team wants a share of the play-off money, they&rsquo;ve got to realize now is the time to dig in.&rdquo;</p><p>There are figures to prove the importance of Crawford&rsquo;s words. Amazingly enough, the Baltimore and Springfield teams went six weeks when only a single game separated them.</p><p>Ordinarily, Crawford could find comfort in the fact that his club has an abundance of home games remaining on the schedule. But, for reasons Crawford can&rsquo;t explain, the team has a poor home ice record. Not once in the first four and one-half months of the season were Clippers able to climb over the .500 mark at home.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Crawford Set To Go With Vets

<div class="byline">BY CHARLEY BARTON</div><p>BUFFALO, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>The chances of any line finishing 1-2-3 in the individual scoring race are prohibitive, but with a third of the American Hockey League schedule remaining the Buffalo Bisons&rsquo; top threesome of Art Stratton, Len Lunde and Pat Hannigan is making definite gestures in that direction.</p><p>At this writing, Stratton, Lunde, and Hannigan, the league&rsquo;s hottest line in recent weeks, occupy three of the first four places in the scoring list.</p><p>Stratton was on top in total points and assists with 66 points on 12 goals and 54 assists. Lunde, second with 63 points, led the AHL in goals with 34, and had 29 assists. Hannigan was fourth, behind Rochester&rsquo;s Ed Litzenberger, with 54 points, 22 goals and 32 assists.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-04474/2404003-1-eng-US/f0013-042.jpg" title="f0013-04" width="298" height="459"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Len Lunde</b></figcaption></div><p>A number of forward lines have placed two men in the top three, but no one line has grabbed all three spots in the recent history of the American Hockey League or the National Hockey League.</p><p>Coach Phil Watson opened the season with an all-center line of Lunde, Stratton and Hank Ciesla. Hannigan started with Jerry Melnyk and Billy Dea, and joined Stratton and Lunde some three weeks after the schedule got underway.</p><p>&ldquo;Stratton, Lunde and Hannigan seemed to fit well together from the start, and the results speak for themselves,&rdquo; pointed out Watson.</p><p>&ldquo;The line could get more goals if Stratton would shoot more. He is such a fine playmaker that he concentrates on setting up Lunde and Hannigan, rather than taking good shots himself.&rdquo;</p><p>The trio has all the ingredients of a strong line. Lunde is the finisher and shooter, Stratton the playmaker and Hannigan the digger.</p><p><b>ALONG THE BOARDS&mdash;</b> former Bison Ab DeMarco was a recent visitor at Memorial Auditorium. DeMarco, who does some scouting for Providence, also operates a real estate firm and a used-car lot in North Bay, Ont.&hellip;Defenseman Paul Popiel was expected to rejoin the Bisons after being out for three weeks with knee and shoulder ailments.

WESTERN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">BY BILL LIBBY</div><p>LOS ANGELES, Calif.&mdash;</p><p>One of the closest scoring races in history is adding spice to the Western Hockey League race as the season swings into its final third. At last count, eight players were within 10 points of each other at the top of the total points race and 12 players were within five goals of each other at the head of the list in goals scored.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-04287/2404093-1-eng-US/f0014-042.jpg" title="f0014-04" width="263" height="408"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Wayne Connelly</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01594/2404086-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg" title="f0014-01" width="479" height="850"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>CHARLEY BURNS&hellip;Bidding For Title</b></figcaption></div><p>An old familiar face, Guyle Fielder of Seattle, has moved to the top of the point list with 63 points achieved in his usual fashion, on only nine goals and 54 assists. However, Fielder and the others were in no position to surpass by much the 100 points or so usually achieved by the champion or to threaten Fielder&rsquo;s record 122 points set in 1957.</p><p>Fielder has won seven scoring titles in his WHL career and the last two in a row, but he&rsquo;ll have to scratch for this one. Charley Burns of San Francisco (26 goals - 36 assists) and Billy McNeill of Vancouver (2240) each have 62 points, Norm Johnson of Los Angeles (22-38) has 60, Pat Stapleton of Portland (22-37) has 59, Milan Marcetta of Victoria (24-33) and Art Jones of Portland (21-36) have 57 each, Phil Maloney of Vancouver (24-29) has 53 and Wayne Connelly of SF (27-25) and Len Haley of SF (19-33) have 52 each.</p><p>All members of the final top ten of last season are back in the league this season and half of them have retained membership in the select group. Moving in are McNeill and Connelly, who played only part of last season in the circuit, Len Haley, who finished 11th, and Stapleton and Marcetta, who have made big jumps from 33rd and 35th positions.</p><p>Dropping out are John Slever and Lou Jankowski of Victoria and Bill MacFarland of Seattle, who are in the second ten, and Tommy McVie of Portland and Leo Labine of LA, who are in the third ten.</p><p>Of the other four men who have won WHL scoring titles in the last 11 seasons, two are in contention again, Jones and Maloney, while Max Mekilok of Spokane, 1962 champ, is out of hockey and Bronco Horvath of Edmonton, 1955 champ, is in the American League. Jones won in 1961 and was second in 1964 while Maloney won in 1956 and was second in 1957 and 1958.</p><p>Of four other still-active players who have been runners-up in the past, Johnson still has a good shot at his first title, but Jankowski, MacFarland and SF&rsquo;s Nick Mickoski are out of the running.</p><p><b>Here&rsquo;s the standings in the sizzling goal-scoring race:</b></p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-09106/2404079-1-eng-US/f0014-092.jpg" title="f0014-09" width="537" height="595"></div><p>On the verge of cracking 20 are Seattle&rsquo;s Bill Dineen with 19 and SF&rsquo;s Haley with 18.</p><p>Jankowski has led the league in goals scored four times, including last year&rsquo;s 41 and the record of 57 in 1961. Three Seattle players, Barlow, MacFarland and Ray Kinasewich, complete the list of current men who have previously led the league in goals scored, but none is likely to regain the honor this time.</p><p>No one is in a position to threaten the higher totals of the past.</p><p>Most of this year&rsquo;s leaders are men who are almost certain to score more goals than they have in any pro season of their past. Smith has already far outdistanced his best previous campaign of 15, for example.</p><p>Behind Jankowski&rsquo;s 41 of last season were Buddy Boone of Vancouver with 38, Art Jones and Tommy McVie of Portland with 36 each, SF&rsquo;s Len Haley with 35, Bill McFarland of Seattle with 34 and Burns and Johnson with 33 each.</p><p>Burns and Johnson are holding up, but Jankowski currently has 22, Boone 16, Jones 21, McVie 20, Haley 18 and MacFarland 15.</p><p>Dineen leads in game-winning goals with six. McVie won the title last year for the third time with 10 while Norm Kirk of New Westminster set the record of 12 in 1949.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Summaries For WHL

<div class="byline">&#x2014;By Bill Libby</div><p>LOS ANGELES. Calif.</p><p><b>THE HEATED WESTERN HOCKEY</b> League race for the dubious honor of serving the most minutes in penalties during the season may cool off down the stretch. Having served his five-game suspension and paid his $200 fine, veteran defenseman Larry Zeidel is back in action for Seattle and is spitting at spitoons instead of referees. While he was gone, Howie Young of Los Angeles upped his penalty total to 165 minutes to pass Zeidel by five minutes for the lead. However, Young may get another trial on a wing, where he belongs. He can skate and shoot as well as most players in hockey, and, while his muscle will help up front, he is not apt to get in as much trouble up there&hellip;Ex-WHL toughie Larry McNabb sends word from Providence of the AHL to his old sparring partner, Young, &ldquo;to be sure to keep your head up, because I may be back in the league some day&rdquo;&hellip;Howie&rsquo;s trouble isn&rsquo;t keeping his head up, it&rsquo;s keeping it on.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-01570/2404242-1-eng-US/f0015-012.jpg" title="f0015-01" width="277" height="420"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Guyle Fielder</b></figcaption></div><p>Slumping Seattle is looking to the future. The Totems have acquired two new players to report next fall. They are Michigan-born Carl Lackey, 21, a sturdy defensemen from Toledo of the International League and Toronto-born Earl Heiskala, also 21, a burly forward from Knoxville of the Eastern League. And they have recalled their rookie goalie Bob Gray from Ft. Wayne of the International League to give Jimmy McLeod a breather or two prior to the playoffs. When Gray was at Michigan, he played against Lackey of Michigan Tech, who won All-American honors in collegiate competition&hellip;Seattle&rsquo;s Guyle Fielder and Gerry Brisson recently scored their 1,200th and 400th WHL points, respectivley. All but one of Brisson&rsquo;s pro points have come in the WHL&hellip;Capt. Bill MacFarland played his 500th WHL game.</p><p>Victoria is also looking for help, though the Maple Leafs have been very hot lately. They gave a trial to Toronto Marlboro&rsquo;s Juniors&rsquo; center Paul Laurent and may try defenseman Jack Chipchase. Coach Rudy Pilous flew to Moose Jaw to scout the Saskatchewan Junior AllStar Game, and center Dave Paranteau in particular&hellip;General manager Buck Houle flew to Toronto to seek players from the parent club&hellip;Sebastian Cabot, the burly, bearded ex-star of TV&rsquo;s &ldquo;Checkmate&rdquo; lives in Victoria &ldquo;between jobs&rdquo; and is becoming quite a hockey fan&hellip;LA coach Alfie Pike calls the Island of Victoria &ldquo;Alcatraz.&rsquo;&rsquo; After several trips there, he says, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s hard to get on and harder to get off.&rdquo;</p><p><b>PILOUS THINKS HIS</b> 28-year-old center Milan Marcetta may get a crack at the NHL next season. The 186-pounder is having his finest season. Pilous says, &ldquo;He can stick-handle like an old-timer, he&rsquo;s skating better than ever and he&rsquo;s shooting well. I&rsquo;m sure somebody in the National League could use this guy.&rdquo; Marcetta credits grass-cutting chores in the offseason in Calgary for his improvement: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m doing the same things as before, only I&rsquo;m a lot stronger.&rdquo;&hellip;Another NHL possibility in Victoria is Larry Keenan, who has always had talent and has found the scoring range. His stick is always on the ice, which contributes to his pesky forechecking&hellip;San Francisco&rsquo;s Wayne Connelly, who is battling back toward another NHL shot, says, &ldquo;The last couple of years I would play with Boston half a season, in the minors half a season. This year, I&rsquo;ve stayed put, I&rsquo;m playing steady and getting lots of ice time. It really helps. The majors? Everybody has hopes, but I hardly ever think about it. I just hope they&rsquo;re thinking about me.&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-02511/2404235-1-eng-US/f0015-022.jpg" title="f0015-02" width="280" height="427"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Milan Marcetta</b></figcaption></div><p>The best rookies in the WHL this season, and thus among the better NHL prospects, have been wingers George Swarbrick of San Francisco and Howie Wilcox of Victoria and goalie Gary Smith of Victoria. Swarbrick is 22, stands 5-10, weighs 175. Out of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, he was the leading scorer on the Canadian Olympic team. San Francisco outbid six other clubs with a substantial bonus to sign him. Impressed by rugged pro checking at first, he has been responding with rough play, scored one hat-trick&hellip;Wilcox is 21, stands only 5-7, weighs just 160. Victoria signed him from Yorkton, Seniors. The Rose Valley, Sask., native is deceptive. He doesn&rsquo;t look like much at first glance, but he&rsquo;s very fast, he takes his men out and his all-around play has been excellent. Oddly, Swarbrick and Wilcox each scored 13 goals in the first two-thirds of the season.</p><p><b>SMITH, WHO PLAYED</b> in the WHL only briefly and has been at Ft. Wayne in the International League, is a giant goalie, 6-4 and 215 pounds. He&rsquo;s quick and agile. Toronto-owned, goalie for the Junior champion Marlboros last season, Gary&rsquo;s dad Des played in the NHL and his brother, Brian, is currently with Springfield in the AHL.</p><p>Here&rsquo;s one man&rsquo;s opinion, Max McNabb, the Vancouver coach: &ldquo;Swarbrick is potentially a great one. He has almost everything. Wilcox has fooled me. I&rsquo;ve been surprised by his style. He plays both ends of the ice like a pro veteran. Plager has to smooth off the rough edges and he should lose a little weight, but he could be another Lou Fontinato. Smith looked tremendous against us. He could be something special.&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-03433/2404228-1-eng-US/f0015-032.jpg" title="f0015-03" width="292" height="440"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gary Smith</b></figcaption></div><p>After waiting 20 games for his first WHL goal since being sent down by Boston, San Francisco&rsquo;s Gary Dornhoefer scored a hat-trick.&hellip;Pennant-bound Portland must still play six games against Vancouver, four of them in Vancouver. Portland and runnerup Seattle may have to worry about Vancouver which has the big break in home games the last third of the season. Improving San Francisco and lethargic LA will be away as much as at home.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Western Ad Lib

<div class="byline">BY STANLEY BRINK</div><p>NORTH ANDOVER, Mass.</p><p>While the Merrimack College W-L-T book will not stir profuse hat throwing at season end compensations have already appeared. One is moving into newly constructed Frost Arena in Lawrence, three miles distant.</p><p>Others are the rapid development of Sophomores Dave Pollard and Bill Donovan, the improved performances of John Jalbert, a better quality schedule, willingness to buck the odds by Goaler Don Smith, and a squad that exceeded expectations.</p><p>Pollard, a younger brother of Frank, Merrimack&rsquo;s assistant coach and a stellar defenser for four seasons, he entered college ahead of the freshman rule, registered a goal in each of the first four games and two each in the next two, one of the best six game runs in Merrimack annals.</p><p>Against New Hampshire Dave beat the script writers. At 8.13 of the second and the board at 0-0, with Merrimack one short, Pollard stole at mid-ice, went in alone and swindled the goaler into making the first move. It was the first marker in a 4-3 victory for Merrimack.</p><p>Boston University paddled Merrimack, 13-2, with Smith showing 63 stops. Instead of being shell shocked, Smith, in the very next game, shutout Bowdoin, 4-0. It was the first scoreless venture for Bowdoin in 36 games and the second in 66. Next Merrimack took Pennsylvania, 5-1, and Smith had a new record for a Merrimack goalminder of allowing only one tally in two consecutive starts.</p><h2>BOX OFFICE SMASH</h2><p>MINNEAPOLIS, Minn - - &ldquo;Minnesota can always draw with North Dakota in this town,&rdquo; is the word often heard in Minneapolis whenever hockey followers get together. Again the Sioux and the Gophers gave box office proof in their series of January 29-30 which set a season mark in the WCHA.</p><p>North Dakota gained the Friday decision, 5-4 in overtime, drawing 6,183. The following night out came 7,069 with North Dakota again on the top side at 3-1. Williams Arena has the largest college capacity in the United States, 8,300. The record crowd? January 18, 1958, when 9,490 squeezed in to see North Dakota.</p><p>Coach John Mariucci of Minnesota pointed out that his team played good enough to win most any series. Bob Peters of North Dakota called attention to Joe Lech&rsquo;s goal protection. Lech is a wizard at catching the puck with his gloves. He trapped so many shots that Minnesota did not get as many rebounds as usual.</p><h2>MIDDLEBURY ACE OUT</h2><p>MIDDLEBURY, Vt. - - Center Wayne Halliwell of Sudbury, Ont., whose scoring has been such a help to Middlebury College, has been lost to the squad for an indefinite period because of a shoulder injury. It is possible he will see only limited service, if any, for the remainder of the schedule.</p><p>Tim Carey, Bob Dorf, and Sophomore goalie, Pete Brown, have been prominent in keeping Middlebury up in ECAC Division H contention. In his first 13 games Brown had 325 saves and allowed 57 goals.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

CENTRAL LEAGUE

<div class="byline">BY MATT DENNIS</div><p>ST. LOUIS, Mo.</p><p>When the St. Louis Braves dropped a 9-1 decision to St. Paul Rangers before their home fans, coach Gus Kyle had severe words to say regarding the performances of his players holding down last place in the Central Professional Hockey League.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-03267/2404342-1-eng-US/f0016-032.jpg" title="f0016-03" width="291" height="438"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Norm Beaudin</b></figcaption></div><p>A few moments after the Braves left the ice, a notice was posted on the bulletin board in the dressing room noting that every player on the ice was to be fined $100 for an inept performance.</p><p>&ldquo;Yes, I mean everyone,&rdquo; said Kyle, the type of man who has always played to win and continued, &ldquo;I never saw a poorer performance by a group of professional hockey players. That St. Paul team wasn&rsquo;t that good.&rdquo;</p><p>At practice the next day, Kyle gave his players a tongue lashing and commented:</p><p>&ldquo;This has been building up for a long time. Maybe if it had been in some other city, I wouldn&rsquo;t get so incensed. But I&rsquo;ve never been in a city where the fans have been so appreciative, so loyal and intelligent as they are here. They deserve better. We have a team that can skate with any team in the league and it didn&rsquo;t last night. Our fans deserve more than the players on the ice in Braves&rsquo; uniforms offered them.&rdquo;</p><p><b>MEMPHIS</b>&mdash;&ldquo;Every game is a big one for us now. We want to make the playoffs and the players know they must give out with their best,&rdquo; said general-manager-coach Eddie Bush of the Memphis Wings as they headed into the final one-third of the schedule.</p><p>Norm Beaudin, the team&rsquo;s top sniper with 32 goals had his best game of the season when he rifled four tallies and assisted on another to give him a total of 52 points over 43 games.</p><p>For the second time this season, Memphis fans rallied to the cause of one of their favorites who drew a 10-minute misconduct penalty that carries with it an automatic fine of $25. Dennis Kassian was handed the extended rest at the 4.19 mark of the third period against Omaha and before he returned to the ice fans had collected the $25 to pay his assessment.</p><p>Greg Pilling has returned to his home in Lethbridge, Alberta with a broken leg and is through for the season.</p><p><b>TULSA</b>&mdash;When Oilers&rsquo; Tom McCarthy was sidelined for two games by league president Jack Adams for indulging in a highsticking duel that caused injury to St. Paul&rsquo;s Mike McMahon, Mike Walton took over the team&rsquo;s leadership.</p><p>In 47 games, Walton caged 27 goals and helped set up 26 for 53 points. McCarthy showed 29 goals and 23 assists in 45 outings for 52 points.</p><p>Terry Clancy is improving every time out, has scored seven goals and assisted on six tallies for 13 points and went through his first 19 games before drawing a penalty.</p><p><b>OMAHA</b>&mdash;Noel Picard has been handling his &ldquo;policeman&rsquo;&rsquo; role with finesse compared to last season when he drew 147 minutes in penalties. He scored 13 goals and drew 23 assists for 34 points over 47 games and his 136 penalties minutes have been gathered in preserving &ldquo;law and order.&rdquo; The Montreal Canadiens dipped down into the CPHL and pulled Picard up to the NHL for a few games.</p><p><b>ST. PAUL</b>&mdash;Goalie Marcel Pelletier has been credited with helping turn the Rangers around and keeping them in contention for the top rung of the league. Tracy Pratt has been working as a two-way defenseman.</p><p>Marc Dufour is the most consistent forward and holds the league scoring leadership proving as adept as a scorer as a playmaker. He fired 27 goals and assisted on 29 for 56 points in his first 39 contests.</p><p><b>MINNEAPOLIS</b>&mdash;Cesare Maniago is turning in stellar efforts in goal for the Bruins and over his first 41 games was only solved for 107 goals. He showed a 2.60 goals-against mark and registered three shutouts.</p><p>Stan Gilbertson, a 19-year-old forward graduate of Duluth East High School, joined the Bruins for a five-game tryout and drew an assist in his second contest.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hockey Races

<div class="byline">BY HARVEY POLLACK</div><p>CHERRY HILL, N.J.&mdash;</p><p>One man, doesn&rsquo;t make a hockey team, but certainly the Jersey Devils have been a different club in Eastern Hockey League play since Ed Babiuk took over the goaltending duties.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0017-1524/2404599-1-eng-US/f0017-152.jpg" title="f0017-15" width="287" height="418"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Don Carter</b></figcaption></div><p>Many an eyebrow was raisea here when coach Pat Kelly dropped Pat Rupp and secured Babiuk from Jacksonville where he had been unable to win a game. The fans couldn&rsquo;t figure how such a move could be beneficial to the Devils cause.</p><p>How wrong they were and how right Kelly was, has been proven by the fact that the Devils won 11 of 15 with Babiuk in the nets and moved right into the contention for second or third place in the Northern Division.</p><p>As Kelly said, &ldquo;Our problem was that we could score on our foes but they were scoring more against us. Now with Babiuk here we aren&rsquo;t afraid of anyone.&rdquo;</p><p>Babiuk, who played with 10 teams previously, is a mild-mannered 25-year-old netminder who hadn&rsquo;t even been seen by Kelly when he made his move. Pat picked him on heresay and Babiuk has come through like a trojan, with his two most satisfying victories being over his ex-Jacksonville mates here and in the south.</p><p><b>CLINTON:</b> Lorne O&rsquo;Donnell&rsquo;s hat trick helped beat Long Island. Comets have stretched home non-losing streak to 28 games. Orval Tessier running third in scoring race but he is only a couple points off pace. Norm DeFelice and Tim Hook sidelined with nose operations. Club has low total in penalty column. DeFelice posted 13th shutout over Jersey to give him blanks against 8 of his 10 rivals.</p><p><b>JOHNSTOWN:</b> Harry Shaw dropped to make room for newcomer Dennis Rathwell who has been hitting red light steadily. Danny Patrick missed several games when he was called home to Newmarket, Ont. for a family emergency. Team down to 11 men when John Gofton was called up by Pittsburgh.</p><p><b>NEW HAVEN:</b> Don Bamburak&rsquo;s hat trick and Eno Kraft&rsquo;s overtime tally ended seven game losing streak versus Clinton Club&rsquo;s current hope is to beat out New York for fifth place Don Hogan placed on waivers Jim Armstrong continues with 40 and 50 save games. Vigor Gendron on waivers. Jackie Le-Clair says his team is the young est in the league.</p><p><b>JACKSONVILLE:</b> Rockets fin ally broke losing streak at 2! with win over Greensboro and later beat Knoxville. Ron Willey paces club in goals with Bill; Staub, Jerry Walker and Pau Josephson in tight battle for club scoring lead.</p><p><b>CHARLOTTE:</b> Club In scorin; slump with sticks of Claudi Ouimet, Moe Savard, Jim Mc-Nulty and Murray Wilkie espe daily silent. Gaetan Dessureaul has been playing well Twent; seven penalties totaling 104 minutes called in Jacksonville game.</p><p><b>GREENSBORO</b>: Don DiBerardino is in top ten in scoring and making Ron Spong look like a &ldquo;thief&rdquo; in getting him from Jacksonville for almost nothing. Gens having trouble beating Nashville anywhere. Garry Sharp to battle Dick Roberge to wire for scoring crown. Don Carter a virtual cinch to win league assist crown.</p><p><b>JERSEY:</b> Don Grosso&rsquo;s knee may be hale enough for him to play in the playoffs. Art Chiupka approaching 100 - point mark. Rudy Filion assessed first penalty in 45 games. Schedule in club&rsquo;s favor the rest of season after two-week absence due to boat show here.</p><p><b>NASHVILLE:</b> Flyers beat Charlotte here for 11th straight time. Team won 16 straight at home and 25 out of 28 before Knoxville halted streak. Marv Edwards posted three straight shutouts to raise his total to seven and top his 1963-64 total. Ted McCaskill a cinch to top Jack Martin&rsquo;s club mark of 46 goals. Attendance is around the 100,000 mark for year. George Standing posted first hat trick in five years.</p><p><b>NEW YORK:</b> Tommy Williams is out for season with a separated shoulder. Lloyd Leslie, defenseman from Elkhorn, Man., who played junior hockey last season at Brandon, joined team. He was mate of defenseman Jim Murray at Brandon. Rovers had six game undefeated streak.</p><p><b>LONG ISLAND:</b> Ducks having trouble beating Rovers at home, losing three straight to their nearby rivals. Ron Hergott scoring steadily. Ducks lost 10 out of 15 games.</p><p><b>KNOXVILLE:</b> Don Labelle back in action after two week absence with bad back. Knights won six straight and 11 of 14 to move into second place. &ldquo;Losing Gil Champagne is hard to take. He&rsquo;s a player I could use at almost any position and get good effort from him,&rdquo; said Labelle.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">BY JACK GATECLIFF</div><p>OSHAWA, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>A slump by the Oshawa Generals has turned what, just a week ago, was a four - team fight for two playoff positions into a five - team battle for three spots.</p><p>With only one win and no ties in their last six starts the Generals still hold fourth place in the Ontario Hockey Association junior A league but their margin over fifth place Montreal Canadiens has shrunk to two points.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0019-01317/2404976-1-eng-US/f0019-012.jpg" title="f0019-01" width="297" height="449"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Bobby Orr</b></figcaption></div><p>The Canadiens in turn only have a five-point margin over Kitchener Rangers and St. Catherines Black Hawks while the ever-dangerous Hamilton Red Wings are just another four points back.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not hard to find a reason for our slump,&rdquo; said Jim Cherry, coach of the Generals after his club suffered a 6-1 trimming in St. Catharines.</p><p>&ldquo;We started the season by building our team around three players&hellip;defenceman Bobby Orr and centres Ron Buchanan and Danny O&rsquo;Shea. Now we&rsquo;ve only got one of them left.&rdquo; That would be young Orr who recently scored his 30th goal of the year and passed his OHA point record for defensemen.</p><p>Buchanan suffered a knee injury a week ago and is not expected back for at least another four games.</p><p>O&rsquo;Shea became involved with a linesman in a game in Niagara Falls, is alleged to have pushed the official twice and was set down by the Ontario Hockey Association with an 11-game suspension.</p><p>He won&rsquo;t be back until March 2 and at that point the Generals will have only three games left in their 56-game schedule.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not crying,&rdquo; said Cherry. &ldquo;Every team runs into player troubles during a long season. But it&rsquo;s really rough losing two top men at this time. I&rsquo;m still sure we&rsquo;ll make the playoffs but I&rsquo;d hoped we&rsquo;d catch Peterborough for that third spot. Now inaybe we&rsquo;ll have to settle for fourth.&rdquo;</p><p>The Black Hawks, Rangers and Red Wings are actually still the chief candidates for sixth position.</p><p>The Hawks have been running hot and cold all winter.</p><p>After trouncing the defending Memorial Cup champion Toronto Marlboros 7-3, they lost a basketball-type hockey game 11-10 in Hamilton, then came back to trim Oshawa 6-1.</p><p>The game in Hamilton was one of the strangest this season.</p><p>The Hawks led four times in the first period, then at one point in the third trailed by five goals when the Wings built up a 10-5 margin.</p><p>However in the next two minutes the Hawks scored four times to cut the lead to 10-9 before Hamilton clinched the win on Real Lemieux&rsquo;s fifth goal of the night.</p><p>Hamilton Coach Danny Lewicki alternated goal tender Peter Frisch and Jean Guy Ruest on every St. Catharines goal which gave the two teenagers perhaps more skating time&hellip;from the bench to the nets&hellip;than any forward of either team.</p><p>Kitchener Rangers, the surprise team of the last half of the schedule, kept on even terms with St Catharines in sixth place defeating Oshawa 4-2 and Niagara Falls 8-7 with a 6-2 loss to Toronto Marlboros between.</p><p>Bob Jones was their big gun in the upset over the leagueleading Flyers, scoring three times including the eventual winner in the third period. Coach Butch Martin moved Terry Ball from defence to right wing and the shift paid off with two goals by the novice forward.</p><p>While the Flyers were losing by a goal, the Marlboros picked up a point in their bid for a second consecutive pennant, tying the Montreal Canadiens 4-4 in the Forum.</p><p>A goal by Mike Corrigan with only 1:30 left in the last period gave the Dukes the draw.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>
