Clippers Gave Reardon Many Anxious Moments
BALTIMORE, Md. Having a part in this year’s Calder Cup playoffs brings a special kind of satisfaction to Terry Reardon, General Manager of the Baltimore Clippers. As the Clippers clashed with Hershey in the opening round of the play-offs, Reardon peered through the smoke of his cigar and admitted the season had dragged him through some of his most miserable moments in hockey. Terry’s terror began last summer when the Baltimore brass decided their operation warranted a bench coach, rather than a playing coach. The problem was compounded when the entire Clipper crew agreed that it wanted Aldo Guidolin, player-coach at the time, in their plans for the future, but did not want to surrender his talents as a player. In response to this situation, Reardon suggested Johnny Crawford, one of his close personal…
THE MAN who made his Mark this week
Stan Mikita has climaxed another big season in the National Hockey League winning the scoring title for the second successive year as well as emerging as the NHL’s top playmaker with a record 59 assists. The versatile Chicago center won the individual league scoring title with 87 points on 28 goals and 59 assists and his feat was a remarkable one when you consider the pressure under which the Hawks’ pivot played this year. Trailing teammate Bobby Hull by as much as 13 points at the turn in the schedule, Mikita came on strong in the second half to win the Art Ross Trophy and the $1,500 that goes with it. Mikita had to withstand a terrific stretch drive by Detroit’s ‘big three’, Ullman, Howe and Delvecchio, to win the point title. Mikita,…

‘No One Gave Them A Tumble’—Abel; Club Breaks Half Dozen NHL Records
DETROIT, Mich It was the ‘Good Old Days’ all over again for the new National Hockey League champion Red Wings. They did things they hadn’t done since the ripe years of 1949-57 when they ruled the National Hockey League with eight of nine league titles—seven straight, a mark never achieved before or since—and four Stanley Cups. This, their most unexpected championship, is their first since 1957 and all kinds of omens pointed to it as the Wings rode roughshod over the rest of the league in the second half of the season led by Norm Ullman, Gordie Howe and Alex Delvecchio on offense and Roger Crozier in goal. “I wanted this so much for the players—they worked so hard for it and no one ever gave them a tumble,” said overjoyed manager-coach Sid Abel.…
