WHL Point Race

<div class="byline">BY JIM PROUDFOOT</div><p>TORONTO, Ont.</p><p>Unwise trades made a big contribution to the Maple Leafs&rsquo; current plight, which finds them facing a season-long struggle with New York Rangers for a spot in next spring&rsquo;s Stanley Cup playoffs.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03465/2392859-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="146" height="238"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 146px"><b>Andy Bathgate</b></figcaption></div><p>It&rsquo;s only fair to mention, of course, that only hindsight permits such an analysis. Nobody makes a bad deal on purpose but sometimes they don&rsquo;t turn out the way they figured to.</p><p>A year and a half ago, Leafs swapped two of their finest wingmen, Dick Duff and Bob Nevin, plus two outstanding young defence prospects, Arnie Brown and Rod Seiling, to New York Rangers in exchange for Andy Bathgate and Don McKenney.</p><p>The thinking behind the deal was that McKenney and Bathgate were both 200-goal scorers. In their early 30&rsquo;s both could look forward to many productive seasons and, in the short range view, would provide the scoring punch Leafs needed to sew up their third Stanley Cup victory in succession.</p><p>And there&rsquo;s no doubt McKenney and Bathgate were helpful: that spring.</p><p>But over the long range, neither made it with Leafs and: both are gone now, McKenney on waivers and Bathgate as; part of another trade. Mean-while, Nevin has become captain and leader of the Rangers and Brown and Seiling are defensive regulars, improving steadily. Duff, traded again, has found a home in Montreal, where he plays on Canadiens&rsquo; first line and helped them win the world championship last May.</p><p>The fact is that neither Bathgate nor McKenney fit into the Leaf scheme of things. McKenney was never the aggressive type of winger Leafs demand. Neither was Bathgate. And he lost his scoring touch following a midseason injury last winter. He sealed his own fate by criticizing Imlach publicly after their playoff defeat.</p><p>You have to say this, though. Nevin and Duff have played better hockey since leaving Toronto than they did in the seasons just before their departure. And Carl Brewer&rsquo;s unexpected retirement makes Brown and Seiling seem more important as youthful defensemen.</p><p>Imlach gave away more scoring punch last summer when he swapped Bathgate and Billy Harris to Detroit for Marcel Pronovost, Larry Jeffrey, Eddie Joyal and Lowell McDonald, then sent Ron Stewart to Boston for Orland Kurtenbach and some minor-leaguers, and dropped McKenney.</p><p>Bathgate and Stewart had counted 16 goals each last season, MoKwnoy got six&mdash;and seemed capable of more. Yet the deals Imlach made seemed to be designed to strengthen a defence that had just proven itself the best in the league, giving up only 176 opposition goals in 70 games.</p><p>Sure, it looked like a clairvoyant step when Brewer quit. That made Pronovost a key man.</p><p>But the question now arises: where are Leafs to get their goals from? They don&rsquo;t have enough attackers to control the puck and, as a result, their defence is under constant pressure. Even the best defenders are bound to crack after a certain length of time.</p><p>Except for Frank Mahovlich and Ron Ellis, Leafs&rsquo; best forwards are defensive specialists like Dave Keon and Bob Pulford.</p><p>So unless Mahovlich and Ellis can increase their productivity tremenndously, it could be a long and unpleasant winter in Maple Leaf Gardens.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

Gordie Howe One Goal Away From His 600th

<div class="byline">BY GIL SMITH</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Barring un-forseen developments, the Montreal Canadiens will soon have two new members in hockey&rsquo;s 200-goal club.</p><p>Forwards Dick Duff and CIaude Provost are both in sight of the coveted mark. Duff had rung up goal number 192 against his old teammates Toronto Maple Leafs, while Provost&rsquo;s total had hit 189. Coincidentally, Duff had 192 assists to go with a similar number of goals, giving him 384 scoring points all told. Provost was heavier in the assist department with 233.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01559/2392356-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="202" height="314"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Dick Duff</b></figcaption></div><p>Both Canadien wingmen are veterans of ten completed seasons in the NHL. Duff, a native of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, broke in with Toronto Maple Leafs in 1955 and played some nine years with that club. A prolific scorer at the outset of his career, Duff had 99 goals by the time he&rsquo;d spent four seasons in the league. His production tailed off sharply after that, however, and a disenchanted Punch Imlach dealt him to N.Y. Rangers. That was in the latter part of 1963-64, but Duff never really got going in Manhattan. He scored just seven goals in 43 games. He came to Montreal last December in exchange for Billy Hicke, and has shown signs of recapturing his I old scoring touch with the Stanley Cup champs.</p><p>Provost&rsquo;s career has been the exact opposite of Duff&rsquo;s, in that he started out as a strictly defensive player, then blossomed out as a scoring threat in the latter stages of his development. When Claude first came to Canadiens in 1955, the club was loaded with scorers on right wing. The presence of &ldquo;Rocket&rdquo; Richard and &ldquo;Boom Boom&rdquo; Geoffrion were enough to ensure Provost being relegated to a third line, which happened to be a defensive unit. Thus, for years he was regarded as &ldquo;Provost, the checker,&rdquo; and his contract called for a bonus if he scored more than 15 goals a season. Claude seldom collected on his bonus.</p><p>In 1961-62, however, Provost erupted as a scorer to the astonishment of most of the NHL. He rifled 33 goals that season, and while many were of the fluke variety, there were enough good ones among them to change Provost&rsquo;s image in hockey circles. For the first time in his career, he became regarded as a dangerous scoring threat. As though to keep the image intact, Claude has averaged nearly 24 goals a season over the past four years&hellip;a sharp increase from his earlier production. Yet, through it all, there&rsquo;s one man who refuses to be surprised by Provost&rsquo;s goal-getting feats. Toe Blake, who has been coaching Canadiens since Provost broke in as a rookie in 1955, has always believed that Provost should&rsquo;ve had more goals than he did.</p><p>&ldquo;I always thought he missed too many scoring opportunities in the earlier stages of his career,&rdquo; says Toe. &ldquo;He blew a lot of chances right in front of the net.&rdquo;</p><p>Provost appears to have overcome this fault in recent seasons, particularly last year when he banged in 27 goals and won an All-Star nomination. Yet, each new campaign is a fresh challenge to a hockey player and Provost, not to mention Dick Duff, will have to prove himself all over again, this year. In fact, as of the middle of this month, Toe Blake had expressed dissatisfaction with the play of both Provost and Duff&mdash;as well as that of Jean Beliveau, in certain instances. The criticism came after a game with Toronto Maple Leafs, in which Canadiens blew a two-goal lead and had to settle for a 3-3 tie.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02534/2392349-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="231" height="352"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>CLAUDE PROVOST&hellip;Shoots 189th Goal</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Canadiens’ Veterans Duff, Provost Set Sights On NHL’s 200-Goal Club

<p>CHICAGO, Ill.</p><p>Bobby Hull has become the new point scoring leader of the Chicago Black Hawks through the team&rsquo;s first six games of the 1965-66 season.</p><p>Hull collected 17 points&mdash;11 goals and six assists&mdash;to increase his lifetime mark to 555 points, 15 more than Wee Willie Mosienko, a Hawk great of another era, who woundup his playing career with a total of 540 points.</p><p>The difference between Hull and Mosienko was that Hull achieved his total in 549 games while it took the speedy little Mosienko 711.</p><p>Another Hawk who is zeroing in on Mosienko&rsquo;s mark is Stan Mikita, who had piled up</p><p>420 lifetime points in 417 games.</p><p>Hull claimed another NHL &lsquo;first&rsquo; when he connected for the second of his two hat tricks to surpass Detroit&rsquo;s Gordie Howe in the three-goal department. It was Hull&rsquo;s 15th of his career, one more than Howe.</p><p>The Hawks&rsquo; six-game unbeaten streak was the best start a Chicago team ever made in the history of the NHL. Also their 9-0 lambasting of the Leafs was the club&rsquo;s biggest shutout ever, the most goals they ever scored against a Toronto team and their nine-goal victory margin was the greatest a Hawk squad had enjoyed since twice posting 10-1 wins during the World War II era.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hull Becomes Highest Scoring Hawk Erasing Mosienko’s 540-Point Record

Mikita holds Ross Trophy as scoring champ. Hull clutches Hart as MVP and Byng Trophy as cleanest player. Pilote has a firm hold on the Norris Trophy as leading defenseman in the NHL last season, an award he has won three consecutive years.</b></figcaption></div><p>CHICAGO, Ill</p><p>That Stan Mikita takes considerably more than casual pride in his role as the premier center ice man for the Black Hawks is apparent to any one who ever has watched him perform.</p><p>His every act on the ice reveals him as a man, who, according to Webster, takes &ldquo;a reasonable delight in his positions and achievements.&rdquo;</p><p>But the source of that pride and its many manifestations just might surprise observers unable to probe beneath the surface of this highly complex man.</p><p>On the surface, the 25-year-old native of Soholce, Czechoslovakia. has ample cause for (Webster again) &lsquo;Inordinate self-esteem.&rdquo;</p><p>Since making the jump from junior hockey with St. Catharines to the Black Hawks in 1959, he&rsquo;s captured two Art Ross trophies as league scoring leader and been named to the first All-Star team three times.</p><p>While conceding that those honors haven&rsquo;t exactly sent him on the &ldquo;y to an inferiority complex. Stan insists that they aren&rsquo;t the true cause for his&rsquo; pride.</p><p>&ldquo;Actually. I get a bigger kick out of killing a penalty when we&rsquo;re two men short, or just playing well in a game we win than I do out of scoring, although I&rsquo;m not about to turn down any goals.&rdquo; Stan said.</p><p>&ldquo;And I&rsquo;d really rather see one of my wings, Kenny Wharram or Doug Mohns, get a goal because of a good play I&rsquo;d made, than get one myself.</p><p>&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t explain it. It&rsquo;s just the way I feel.&rdquo; i</p><p>Hawk Coach Billy Reay quickly I agrees that Stan gets a special charge out of playing well defensively.</p><p>&ldquo;If I used Stan regularly as a penalty-killer he&rsquo;d probably be the best in the league,&rdquo; said Reay. &ldquo;But I don&rsquo;t think he&rsquo;s rugged enough to do it and handle his regular job, too.</p><p>&ldquo;He does so well when we&rsquo;re two men down because he&rsquo;s willing to accept the responsibility of handling the puck under pressure. He&rsquo;s proud (that word again of his ability and likes to display it.</p><p>Stan learned the value of a center&rsquo;s being able to handle defensive assignments during his first season with the Hawks, when he was placed on a checking line and ordered to cover such stalwart middlemen as Jean Beliveau and Alex Delvecchio.</p><p>He performed well in the special task but managed to score only seven goals. Since then, he&rsquo;s mastered the art of working effectively in both ends of the rink.</p><p>&ldquo;Stan is one of the few big scorers in hockey who concerns himself with his defensive record and the goals against figures of his line,&rdquo; said Reay.</p><p>Stan has an explanation for this, and it relates to pride.</p><p>&ldquo;It gives me satisfaction&mdash;makes me proud, I guess&mdash;to know that other guys on out team are being helped by things I do,&rdquo; he said.</p><p>&ldquo;For instance, if my line has a good defensive record it means that while we were on the ice Glenn Hall&rsquo;s goals against record was helped.</p><p>&ldquo;Glenn is as important to this team as Bobby Hull, Pierre Pilote, or any of us and he doesn&rsquo;t always get as much credit as he deserves. So, if I help him in any way, while I&rsquo;m on the ice, I&rsquo;m proud to be able to do it.&rdquo;</p><p>This same pride helped Stan overcome several handicaps on his way to stardom. In fact, only a youngster possessed of extreme self-esteem could have retained much interest in hockey after an introduction to it as violent as Stan experienced.</p><p>Stan, who was born Stanislous Gvoth, had arrived in St. Catharines, Ont., to live with his uncle and aunt, Joe and Anna Mikita, only a few months before he got his first taste of the game as an eight-year-old in 1948.</p><p>&ldquo;The kids played hockey in the streets, which were slick from the snow packed down by the cars,&rdquo; he recalled. &ldquo;Instead of sticks, which no one could afford, they used tree branches. I was hanging around one day watching them play when they asked me to join them.</p><p>&ldquo;They had to use sign language. of course, because I couldn&rsquo;t speak English.</p><p>&ldquo;Well, the first thing I did was whack one kid a good one right across the legs. He ran home crying and the rest of the kids gave me a good beating.&rdquo;</p><p>Stan fought back, however, and after mending a few fences and learning a bit of the language, was a regular participant in those St. Catharines&rsquo; street games.</p><p>By his second year in Canada, nine-year-old Stan had a new pair fair of skates&mdash;&ldquo;the cheapest you could buy&rdquo;&mdash;and was a proud member of an organized team known as &lsquo;The Rangers&rsquo;.</p><p>His pride in membership stemmed from the fact that he&rsquo;d been good enough to convince the team&rsquo;s coach that he was 12, the minimum age for Rangers.</p><p>Stan, who now packs a mere 170 pounds on his 5-9 frame, has continued to succeed against the bigger guys.</p><p>Actually, his one failure was his inability to put a halt to those persistent rumors of a feud between him and Hull when they first began springing up a few years ago.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve given up trying to shut off those stories,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve both denied that there&rsquo;s any trouble between us several times, but such things make good copy and the writers in some towns just don&rsquo;t pay any attention to us.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

PASSING THE PUCK

<div class="byline">BY STAN FISCHLER</div><p>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;</p><p>Few people in New York sympathize with Jets&rsquo; quarterback Mike Taliaferro more than Don Simmons, the ballet-master Ranger goalie whose delicate kicks would put Rudolf Nureyev to shame.</p><p>Like Taliaferro, blanketed by the shadow of joe Namath, Simmons has hidden behind the skyscraper of press notices for rookie goalie Ed Giacomin.</p><p>In each of the Rangers&rsquo; opening six games. Giacomin took his place between the red, iron goal pipes while Simmons clumped down on a chair at the far end of the Blues&rsquo; bench. He&rsquo;d sit for 60 minutes through the game, lumpy goal pads and all.</p><p>&ldquo;Being a back-up goalie is the story of my life,&rdquo; says the 34-year-old whose teammates call him &ldquo;Dippy.&rdquo; &ldquo;It was that way in my three seasons with Toronto. So, I kinda felt I&rsquo;d been used for my experience and be backup man here.&rdquo;</p><p>Simmons played second-fiddle to Leaf goalie Johnny Bower in a very conspicuous manner. In April 1962. for example, Don replaced Bower three times in the Stanley Cup finals against Chicago and won the Cup for Leafs.</p><p>But last season, Toronto acquired Terry Sawchuk to backstop Bower and shooed Simmons to Tulsa where he played less than jubilantly.</p><p>&ldquo;I was very happy to be traded to New York,&rdquo; he says &ldquo;because it meant coming back to the NHL. On top of that Rangers are having a transition. Their future is good.&rdquo;</p><p>What about being Giacomin&rsquo;s shadow?</p><p>&ldquo;We get along real good. He&rsquo;s a fine goalkeeper; he&rsquo;s going to do well. We talk&hellip;about little things like playing the corners.&rdquo;</p><p>Ranger g.m. Emile Francis, himself a former goalie, says Simmons soon will start a game for the Blues, but he can&rsquo;t say exactly when.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;d prefer Giacomin faced every team in the league at least once or twice,&rdquo; says Francis.</p><p>Meanwhile, Simmons sits in the corner, damp with 35 pounds of sweaty equipment.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-01601/2392735-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="283" height="425"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>DON SIMMONS&hellip;Playing The &lsquo;Shadow&rsquo;</b></figcaption></div><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m prepared to go anytime they ask me,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;I want to play, of course, but I&rsquo;m not asking. The club knows what it&rsquo;s doing and I don&rsquo;t mind this a bit.</p><p>&ldquo;After all, I&rsquo;ve been a shadow for years. And, you know, it could be a lot worse.&rdquo;</p><p>Like Tulsa, for instance.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Rangers’ Simmons Not Complaining, He Sits And Waits

<p>NEW HAVEN, Conn.</p><p>If the defense of the New Haven Blades shows an upsurge these days, credit has to be given to Fernie Flaman, the current general manager of the Providence Reds.</p><p>Flaman, a former National Hockey League star, watched the Blades lose a game to Clinton and then took the Blades defensemen in hand for a thorough coaching session. Tony Bukovich, Blake Ball, Jim McCarthy and Dick Cloutier, all were given individual instructions on how to improve their defensive play by Flaman who has a nice touch in instruction.</p><p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s nothing wrong with the Blades that a little tighter attention to defensive fundamentals won&rsquo;t cure,&rdquo; Flaman said after his session with the defensemen.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Flaman Hands Tips To Blade Defense

<p>TORONTO, Ont.</p><p>The National Hockey League will never experience the frustration that baseball teams have encountered down through the Years by paying exorbitant bonuses&mdash;some of which ran as high as $125,000&hellip;to untried players.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02553/2392790-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="155" height="237"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Clarence Campbell</b></figcaption></div><p>NHL President Clarence Campbell called the league&rsquo;s negotiation list a &ldquo;life saver&rdquo; because it had helped eliminate bidding wars and huge bonus money that has been so prevalent in the diamond pastime.</p><p>Speaking to a select legislature committee on youth, Campbell appeared for the sole purpose of clearing up what he called &ldquo;considerable misunderstanding&rdquo; between professional and amateur hockey.</p><p>Campbell defended the three steps which allows an NHL team to lock up an amateur player. He reviewed the negotiation list, sponsorship and the draft at length and said all three were essential to the success and well being pro hockey.</p><p>He outlined the purpose behind all three saying they were devised to prevent competitive bidding by NHL teams for young players.</p><p>Campbell said the sponsorship system, under which NHL clubs could support two amateur teams and receive exclusive negotiating rights for the 18 players on each, was the &ldquo;real backbone&rdquo; of players development for the pros.</p><p>But the negotiation list, under which an NHL club can receive exclusive negotiating rights for at least four players for at least a year, was the real &ldquo;life-saver&rdquo; in Campbell&rsquo;s opinion.</p><p>Campbell also told how the draft system was evolved in 1963 because there was &ldquo;a growing feeling that the cost of operating sponsored teams was becoming too expensive.&rdquo;</p><p>Using the device an NHL club could claim up to four 17-year-olds each year&mdash;the age was raised to 18 in 1965&mdash;for $2,000 each, giving the pro clubs a third avenue for exclusive rights to negotiation for the player&rsquo;s services.</p><p>Campbell said players drafted or placed on negotiation lists were under no obligation to play professional hockey. However, if they decided to turn pro they would have no choice but to play for the team that had their names on the list or that had claimed them.</p><p>He said there was no hardship on the youngsters. &ldquo;Players usually make arrangements with the claiming club with which they would prefer to be associated, then a deal of some kind is normally worked out between the clubs which results in the player getting to the club of his choice.&rdquo;</p><p>Players associated with sponsored clubs also are under no obligation to play professional hockey, Campbell said, but since they were being paid up to $65 a week there was an understanding between them and the pros.</p><p>&ldquo;In many cases&mdash;probably in the majority of cases&mdash;the player is under strong moral obligation to the professional sponsoring club for financial allowances made to him to finance his education or to supplement his earnings when his job is low-paying.&rdquo;</p><p>The NHL president said that in paying youngsters to play amateur hockey the league had an excellent record of achieving in helping them get an education &ldquo;in spite of the criticism that has sometimes been directed at it on the grounds that it was interfering with the schooling of players through excessive numbers of games, extensive travel and the general distraction experienced by students who were also hockey players with ambition to be professionals.&rdquo;</p><p>Campbell&rsquo;s main recommendation to the select committee was that more hockey rinks should be built.</p><p>&ldquo;The thing which would be most helpful in the efforts of the NHL to play a role in the development of young people in their relation to society,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;would be to increase the facilities for playing our game.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

First, there was Detroit&rsquo;s Roger Crozier&rsquo;s stomach ache, which gave Manager Coach Sid Abel a fleeting headache, and then there was the Chicago Black Hawks&rsquo; decision to replace Dennis DeJordy with Dave Dry-den as their No. 2 netminder.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02557/2392828-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="151" height="232"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Denis DeJordy</b></figcaption></div><p>Billy Reay, coach of the Hawks, was asked why he had settled on Dryden instead of DeJordy.</p><p>&ldquo;DeJordy had become something of a problem,&rdquo; confessed Billy. &ldquo;Last season he thought he should play 70 games and he kept arguing about it. He said he couldn&rsquo;t stay sharp if he didn&rsquo;t. But how was he going to play a full schedule with Glenn Hall ahead of him?&rdquo; The whole thing got tiresome.</p><p>&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t want to go through it again this season. As things turned out, Dryden had a very good training camp and we decided to make the change. DeJordy asked to be sent to the St. Louis Hawks and that&rsquo;s where he is now. He&rsquo;ll have time to think down there and he isn&rsquo;t going to like missing out on the Pension Plan.&rdquo;</p><p>Then there was Roger Crozier&rsquo;s stomach ailment. Some way it&rsquo;s an ulcer, but no one I seems to know for sure. A couple of years I ago, Punch Imlach, manager-coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, was reported to have one. But the Leafs won the Stanley Cup and I nothing more was said about it. Last season I when the Leafs weren&rsquo;t going so well Punch was asked about it.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve still got it,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;but it doesn&rsquo;t show.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>Crozier&rsquo;s System</b></h2><p>Crozier, it seems, has devised a system by which he judges his own play. He explains it this way:</p><p>&ldquo;Before the season starts I sit down with a schedule and figure out how many points I think the Wings will need to make the playoffs and also to win the title. Then I take into account how many games we have each month in the 70-game schedule and set a quota on the number of goals I can give up each month.</p><p>&ldquo;Take October, for instance. We play five games, three of them at home. I figure the Wings have to come up with six points out of the possible 10. To do this I set myself a: quota of allowing no more than 12 goals. That&rsquo;s a 2.40 average.&rdquo;</p><p>Crozier allowed 19 goals in October, seven over his quota, largely because the Canadiens bombed him for eight in the opening game of the season here. Presumably, the month being over, that won&rsquo;t have any effect on the; quota he has set for himself for November or any other month.</p><p>In his brilliant rookie 1964-65 season, he had a 2.42 average in 69% games and picked up a fat bonus from the Wings, management.</p><p>&ldquo;Roger surprised me when I signed him to his first contract by asking for a bonus for a 2.50 average,&rdquo; said Sid. &ldquo;I jumped on it because I knew if he could do that we&rsquo;d be all right.&rdquo;</p><p>Crozier, who admits he has another bonus clause this year depending upon average, is still doing his own thinking.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a little higher than 2.50,&rdquo; he revealed. &ldquo;You almost have to win the Vezina Trophy to collect with that. So this year I have a little more elbow room.&rdquo;</p><h2><b>&ldquo;Goalies Galore!&rdquo;</b></h2><p>Hap Emms, the Boston Bruins&rsquo; new general manager, announced his intention to make changes early and often this season. The Bruins have used four goalkeepers&mdash;Ed Johnston, Gerry Cheevers, Bob Ring and Bernie Parent&mdash;in the brief season to date. Sticking the 20-year-old Parent, who was with the Niagara Falls Juniors last season, in there against Bobby Hull and those other Black Hawk blasters must have been quite an experience for Parent.</p><p>If the Bruins have a new policy this season it&rsquo;s, &ldquo;Goalies galore!&rdquo;</p><p>Coach Red Sullivan of the New York Rangers had four goalers in training camp and; admitted he was worried then that none of; them would measure up to NHL standards.; But he isn&rsquo;t worried any more. He thinks Ed; Giacomin, a rookie can do the job and he has; the experienced Don Simmons to back up Giacomin.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Goalkeepers Make News Early Around NHL Scene

Outside of Murray Oliver, now centering for right wing Ron Stewart and Parker MacDonald, and sometimes-center Tommy Williams, Boston had little to show at the pivot position.</p><p>Coach Milt Schmidt was naturally pleased by what did for openers in his new assignment, but rationalized that Prentice, nonetheless, would take a while getting used to the new position.</p><p>&ldquo;Deano is a good hard-working player,&rdquo; the coach offered &ldquo;He&rsquo;s the type who will work no matter where he plays. He&rsquo;s a team man all the way.</p><p>&ldquo;Actually,&rdquo; Schmidt continiued, &ldquo;any forward should be able to play any front-line position.&rdquo; Attitude has a lot to do I with it, he inferred. Either a player thinks he can do the job I and immediately sets about to prove same, or else he begs off or never does give it an honest try.</p><p>Prentice is definitely cut from I the former stock&mdash;another reason why he was able to come back the way he has from the broken back which put him out 1 of action at midseason a year ago. A less-determined individiual could have unashamedly called it a career.</p><p>This is Dean&rsquo;s fourth season in a Bruin&rsquo;s uniform. He came to Boston in February of 1963 after 10 full seasons in New York. If one had to single out one standout for the Bruins in the early weeks of the 1965-66. campaign, it wouldn&rsquo;t be too difficult to settle on Ron Stewart, who incidently drilled the equalizer in the 3-1 victory at Montreal.</p><p>Acquired in trade from Toronto during the off-season, the veteran right winger is skating with verve which belies his 13 years in the NHL. Never one to score more than 21 goals in any one season, the hefty 6-foot, 200-pounder may be away to his best year ever production-wise.</p><p>Stewart had four goals after six games this season, after languishing on the Maple Leafs&rsquo; bench most of last year. That Ron didn&rsquo;t see eye to eye with Toronto boss Punch Imlach is no secret. But Stewart, being the kind of a guy he is, isn&rsquo;t about to air any dirty linen.</p><p>&ldquo;The guy put a lot of money in my pocket,&rdquo; Ron has said. &ldquo;I respect him and I don&rsquo;t wish him any hard luck. I&rsquo;m just interested now in helping this Boston club to get into the playoffs.&rdquo;</p><p>Did the the Bruins get the best of the trade in which they gave up Orland Kurtenbach, Andy Hebenton and Pat Stapleton to land Stewart? You would have trouble convincing Emms otherwise. &ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t want to trade back,&rdquo; he grins.</p><p>Stewart is helping Boston on the ice. But it doesn&rsquo;t end there.</p><p>&ldquo;Ron talks it up in the dressing room, too,&rdquo; Schmidt pointed out. &ldquo;He wants to win.</p><p>&ldquo;Defense is his strong suit. He&rsquo;s a good two-way performer,&rdquo; the coach elaborated. Stewart isn&rsquo;t known as a hitter, but &ldquo;he stays in front of his man.&rdquo; Schmidt pointed out too, that Ron was shooting more than any one else on the dub, and as usual he was putting the puck in the net.</p><p>Balancing the steady performance of these two veterans, Prentice and Stewart, was the starry debut of freshman goalie Bernie Parent.</p><p>Referred to by Boston partisans as &ldquo;the one who got away,&rdquo; Montreal-born-and-bred Parent appears to be one of the finest puck-stopping prospect ever developed in the Bruins&rsquo; farm system.</p><p>Raised in Longue Point, a Montreal suburb, Bernie was overlooked in an early tryout with the Junior Canadiens. And it wasn&rsquo;t until he had hooked on with Rosemount in Montreal&rsquo;s Metro League (one of the few teams not sponsored by the Canadiens) that the Habs realized their oversight. At age 18, Parent became eligible for the draft and Boston, by reason of reverse order of NHL standings, had first crack at him.</p><p>Last season at Niagara Falls, Bernie backstopped the Flyers to the Memorial Cup, posting a record 2.7 goals against average in regular-season play. In the playoffs he was under 2.00</p><p>With only three professional games under his belt this season (at Oklahoma City), Parent was pressed into action with Boston when early injuries shelved first Gerry Cheevers and then Ed Johnston.</p><p>Bernie was in the net making his NHL debut, when Boston picked up its first point of the season (a 2-2 tie at Chicago). He was absolved from the 8-1 clobbering the Bruins suffered at Detroit the following night and then bounced back to hold the Canadiens 3-1 at Montreal in his first hometown appearance.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Prentice At Centre-Gives Bruins Lift

<p>BOSTON, Mass.</p><p>Consistent hockey from the defensemen is the Bruins biggest need, according to coach Milt Schmidt.</p><p>&ldquo;We have to get our defensemen&mdash;and I&rsquo;m not including the goalies&mdash;to work harder and harder,&rdquo; said Schmidt. &ldquo;They have to play consistently good hockey here and now. They&rsquo;ve done it and they can do it. But they have to do it in every game. We can&rsquo;t play one good game and then slump in the next. If we can win a couple of games right now&mdash;not next week&mdash;then we can be right in the fight.

NHL Point Race

<div class="byline">BY GIL SMITH</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.</p><p>It&rsquo;s probably too soon to call it a trend, but members of the Montreal Canadiens have been finding their way to the penaltybox in large numbers, this season.</p><p>In fact, after the first few weeks of the schedule, Habs led the parade with a total of 119 minutes in the sin-bin. There was a qualification to be made, however, due to the fact that Montreal had played eight games&mdash;roughly one or two more than most of their competitors. According to WEL-statistics, the Stanley Cap champs were posting an average of 14.9 minutes in penalties per game.</p><p>On the surface, this seemingly aggresive display was a surprising departure for Canadiens. As a team, they haven&rsquo;t exactly terrorized the rest of the league with physical force over the years. However, a closer look at the statistics reveals that Canadiens have not become much more aggressive than usual. Rather, it is the other teams in the league who&rsquo;ve become less penalty prone.</p><p>One year ago, this month, Toronto topped the crime-sheet with 198 minutes after nine games; an average of 22 minutes per game. This year, they had 96 minutes in eight contests; an average of 12.0 minutes per. Other teams were also down, proportionally, especially Detroit, Boston and Chicago.</p><p>The overall effect was to boost Canadiens into the top spot on the penalty charts, but appearances were deceiving.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

In two of their first three losses, they were in the thick of things until the bitter end. In only one game, a 7-3 loss at Victoria, were they completely out of the picture.</p><p>Coach Glover blasted the performances of several Barons for that one. He even derricked goalie Les Binkley after two periods in favor of Ernie Wakely in the Victoria rout, a move previously unheard of for a Cleveland coach.</p><p>Both the blasting and the removal of Blinkley apparently achieved the desired results. Even though they dropped their last two games on the coast, the club always was in contention, while Binkley turned in three fine performances in his next three starts.</p><p>He was especially effective against Hershey in the Baron&rsquo;s first clash with an AHL member, a winning 3-2 come-from-behind effort in the den of the Bears.</p><p>One of the more encouraging aspects of the Barons&rsquo; early efforts has been the scoring punch displayed by Keith McCreary, in his first year with the Barons after two seasons with Hershey. McCreary, who started the season on the third line with Cecil Hoekstra and Wayne Schultz, moved up to the first unit when the coach had to put himself on the bench because of his leg injury. It was McCreary&rsquo;s goal, his third of the season, that started the Barons on to victory in Hershey.</p></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><p>McCreary is an especially welcome addition to Baron ranks. Owned by the Montreal Canadiens, with whom the Barons have working agreement, Me-Creary was sent to Hershey during each of the past two seasons despite the fact that the Barons were most eager to acquire his services.</p><p>The 25-year-old left winger, who also can do double duty on the right side, is a brother-in-law of the Barons&rsquo; Ron Attwell. Consequently, McCreary has been hoping for the past two years to move into the Barons&rsquo; camp.</p><p>In his first season with the Bears, McCreary pushed in 25 goals and amassed 44 points, while playing 66 games. Last year, in 46 games with the Bears before he moved up to the Canadiens for a brief spell, he lit the light 16 times and totaled 34 points.</p><p>McCreary&rsquo;s biggest scoring years in pro hockey came with Hull-Ottawa of the Eastern Professional Hockey League in 1961-62 and 1962-63, when he scored 66 and 61 points, respectively. His goal totals in those years were 30 and 27.</p><p>A return to this scoring form with the current Barons would make McCreary, a solidly-built 5&rsquo;11&rdquo; 180-pounder, a valuable addition to the club.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Injuries, Inability To Score Hamper Bears In Early AHL Play

<div class="byline">BY JOE GORDON</div><p>PITTSBURGH, Pa.</p><p>Four straight losses haven&rsquo;t dimmed Coach Eddie Bush&rsquo;s optimism for his 1965-66 Hornets.

Two straight losses on the West Coast to Vancouver (5-3) and Portland (7-2) shocked the Wasps who had visions of taking three out of four western swing. Now just San Francisco and Los Angeles remain and they are still looking for their first West Coast victory.</p><p>The early season losing skein equals the longest tailspin the club went through last season. The 1964-65 squad had the dubious distinction of losing four in a row twice.</p><p>&ldquo;We have been making a lot of silly mistakes and they have cost us in the way of goals,&rdquo; stated Bush. &ldquo;But don&rsquo;t forget when you have a young club as we do, you must expect things like this early in the season. I&rsquo;m sure this club wil get better with each game,&rdquo; added the hardworking fast-talking Bush.</p><p>Bush also said that individually the team has played well. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t fault any one player. They are all giving it everything they have and you can&rsquo;t ask for any more than that. I&rsquo;m sure a break here and there and we&rsquo;ll be on our way again,&rdquo; he said.</p><p>The addition of Bob McCord is bound to help. He replaces Pete Goegan on defense. Goegan was recalled by the parent Detroit Red Wings.</p><p>McCord, 31, is one of the best rearguards to ever play in the AHL.

Bush Hoping Hornets Get Few Breaks

<div class="byline">BY BUSTER CLEGG</div><p>PROVIDENCE, R.I.&mdash;</p><p>Ask any rooter of the Rhode Island Reds and he&rsquo;ll have to agree that the club&rsquo;s most valuable performer through the early American Hockey League going has been that master of goaltending angels, Marcel Paille</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-06334/2393537-1-eng-US/f0013-062.jpg" title="f0013-06" width="146" height="228"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 146px"><b>Marcel Paille</b></figcaption></div><p>Paille, the pudgy, 32-year-old blocker who was one of four players obtained from New York this summer in the Ed Giacomin trade, was nothing short of fantastic through the Reds&rsquo; first seven games, of which they won five for a share of second place in the Eastern Division.</p><p>Time after time, with games hanging on a good break or a bad one, Marcel came up with the big stop.</p><p>Four of the five victories were one goal decisions, three straight in overtime. In each, the Reds could have fallen victim at one point or another, but for Paille&rsquo;s big stops.</p><p>His most notable one came on Oct. 23rd in Hershey when the Reds, tied 2-2 in overtime, found thmselves caught up ice when Wayne Rivers of the Bears picked up a loose puck at center ice. Facing the barreling Rivers alone, Paille calmly met the streaking winger and turned away the shot. Minutes later the Reds won it on a breakaway of their own.</p><p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s been just terrific,&rdquo; praises Ivan Irwin, the Reds first-year coach. &ldquo;When the chips are down, he&rsquo;s one of hockey&rsquo;s toughest goalies to beat. I&rsquo;d take him in the clutch any-day!&rdquo;</p><p>Paille, whose secret to success has been an uncanny understanding and adaptation of angel principles, rarely gives away a goal. Opposing forwards must earn their goals from the netminding artist.</p><p>Now in his second with the Reds, Marcel broke into pro hockey with Chicoutimi back in 1955-56 in the old Quebec League. He later played with Cleveland, the Reds and Buffalo in the AHL before taking part in three straight league and Calder Cup tilts with Springfield from 1959 through 1962.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

Paille Key For Reds’ Ice Success

<div class="byline">BY CHARLEY BARTON</div><p>BUFFALO, N.Y.</p><p>Pat Hannigan was back with the Buffalo Bisons after being drafted by Detroit last summer and training with the Red Wings, and the bleak look here brightened somewhat.</p><p>Hannigan, the American Hockey League&rsquo;s first-team all-star right winger a year ago, was taken by the Wings in the inter-league draft for $20,000. When they couldn&rsquo;t get waivers in order to send him to Pittsburgh, the Wings were forced to return Hannigan to the Bisons for $15,000.</p><p>It cost the Wings $5,000 to take a good look at Hannigan. Hannigan was the property of the Chicago Black Hawks, and thus the Hawks will pocket the $5,000, as well as retain rights to the player.</p><p>Hannigan alone isn&rsquo;t enough to make a respectable hockey club of the Bisons. However, he will add some bite to the teeth-less forwards, and is the best thing that happened here since the Buffalo Bills won the American Football League title.</p><p>The way the Bisons are going, the Bills may well wind up with the town all to themselves. The baseball Bisons lost a small fortune last summer, and the hockey Bisons will go for at least $150,000 this winter, unless a miracle happens. And there aren&rsquo;t many miracles in hockey these days.</p><p>The Black Hawks couldn&rsquo;t care less. The big freeze against Buffalo doesn&rsquo;t look like it&rsquo;s softening, and the Bisons will be lucky to win a dozen games.</p><p>Coach Phil Watson plans to hold two workouts daily between games, and single workouts on the morning of game days.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hannigan Helps-But Bisons Plight Still Grim

Apply Joe Crozier, Room 228, War Memorial.</p><p>It may sound strange for the defending American Hockey League champion Rochester Americans to be advertising for players since they had won five straight games and had dropped just two of their first eight outings when the ad appeared, but general manager-coach Joe Crozier was getting a bit desperate for bodies.</p><p>The Amerks opened the season with an abundance of talent, but injuries, short-handedness in Tulsa and Victoria and the parent Toronto Maple Leafs&rsquo; slow start depleted Joe&rsquo;s squad to two goaltenders, four defensemen and eight forwards plus a Junior for the Nov. 6 weekend games.</p><p>Here is how Crozier&rsquo;s conversation regarding the ad might have sounded. From the other end of the line:</p><p>&ldquo;Good afternon, Miss Want Ad speaking,&rdquo; the young woman in The Gannett Newspapers Building office said as she answered the telephone. &ldquo;Mr. Joe Crozier of the Rochester Americans. Yes, sir, may I help you?</p><p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;ve lost Pete Stemkowski. Do you wish to place an ad under lost and found? Oh, you know where he is.

Cliff Schmautz of the WHL&rsquo;s Portland Buckaroos has scored 32 goals at Sault Ste. Marie in the Eastern League one season, 24 goals at Buffalo in the American League one season, and 17 goals at Portland in the Western circuit last season. In Portland&rsquo;s first ten games this season, he fired nine goals, so he is clearly off to his best start.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-1090/2393668-1-eng-US/f0014-102.jpg" title="f0014-10" width="130" height="226"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 130px"><b>Arnie Schmautz</b></figcaption></div><p>Cliff did not score his ninth goal until his 31st game last season. The 5-9, 165-pound, 26-year-old winger has been a valuable player for Coach Hal Laycoe&rsquo;s teams, particularly in shorthanded situations, but he has never found the netting as readily as in the early going this time.</p><p>Cliff is a member of one of hockey&rsquo;s most prominent families. At 5-7 and 140-pounds, 32-year-old older brother and teammate Arnie Schmautz is one of the most remarkable little guys in sports. Younger brother Bobby Schmautz opened the season with Los Angeles, though he was not being played and in danger of being farmed out.</p></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><p>Victoria winger Bob Barlow is second in goal-getting with eight.</p><p>However, Portland&rsquo;s veteran pivot Art Jones had seven goals and 11 assists for 18 points, giving him a one-point edge on Victoria&rsquo;s Fred Hucul for the WHL points lead. Jones is the only Buck to be credited with at least one point in every game this season.</p><p>And Bill Saunders was back in his 1963 form when he tied for the team lead in goals with 37. He had six in the first ten games. Last season he did not get his sixth until his 23rd game. Newcomer Chuck Holmes, who went eight games without a point, got back on the scoreboard with a big goal, a 2-2 tie-breaker in the third period of a game with Cleveland.</p><p>Portland tied a WHL record with five power-play goals in mauling San Francisco 8-1.</p><p>With such scoring, Portland had a three-game winning streak going and had won seven of its first ten games to keep front-running Victoria&rsquo;s powerhouse within range. Critics who felt Portland would give up its league pennant and playoff cup without a strong fight this season were clearly wrong.</p><p>The Big Bear, Don Head, though possibly in some discomfort from his old knee ailment, was playing a whale of a game in goal, too. He surrendered only 25 goals in the first ten tilts to tie Victoria&rsquo;s Al Millar for the league goal-tending lead.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

WHL’s Goal-Scoring Leader Cliff Schmautz Popping Shots In Best Start For Portland

<p>PORTLAND, Ore.</p><p>Portland ripped off three straight wins last week to pick up a point on Victoria, which won two and tied one, in the hot fight for the WHL lead. Andy Hebenton picked up six points in the three Victoria games to spark the club and gain &ldquo;player of the week&rdquo; honors in the circuit. Portland&rsquo;s Art Jones ran his scoring to 18 points on seven goals and 11 assists to hold a one-point lead over Victoria defenseman Fred Hucul, who has four goals and 13 assists.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-1271/2393772-1-eng-US/f0014-122.jpg" title="f0014-12" width="133" height="224"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 133px"><b>Andy Hebenton</b></figcaption></div><p>San Francisco ended its long road trek with two wins and a tie to take a solid hold on third place. Charley Burns of the Seals vaulted into third place in the scoring race, also, as he ran his record to 15 points to tie Portland&rsquo;s Cliff Schmautz. Slumping Seattle lost four straight games to sink into fifth place. Los Angeles got back off the road to win one, but blew a 4-1 lead into a 5-4 loss to San Francisco and remained in the cellar.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

NORTHLAND BALANCE

<div class="byline">&#x2014;By Bill Libby</div><h2><b>L.A. Hockey Merger Unlikely</b></h2><p class="dropcap"><b><span>T</span>HE NEW CO-OWNER</b> of the Los Angeles Blades, Clarence Martin, will take over the executive direction of the Western Hockey League club with his partner, Dan Reeves, continuing to concentrate on his L. A. Rams of the National Football League. Saskatoon lumberman James Piggott is now the third largest shareholder. Moving in with Martin are Bob Reynolds, co-owner of the baseball Angels wtih Gene Autry; Clint Murchison, president of the Dallas Cowboys&rsquo; football team and Joseph Thomas of New York City. Martin, 49 and the father of three young children, has not been much closer to hockey than when he was a student at Harvard and the Crimson had a team. Clearly, however, the interest of the NHL in L. A. has made hockey an attractive proposition to many.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-01567/2393879-1-eng-US/f0015-012.jpg" title="f0015-01" width="145" height="235"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 145px"><b>Bud Poile</b></figcaption></div><p>Martin, whose father was governor of the State of Washington for eight years, and who is, himself, former Under-Secretary of Commerce, is involved in a Cadillac agency, an investment corporation and real estate development, and has the sort of money such interests would indicate. While he would not say how much he paid for his share of the Blades, he did say, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m completely committed.&rdquo; He added, &ldquo;I went into this thing more because I want to be involved in sports than as a business investment, but I&rsquo;m in it for the long haul.&rdquo;</p><p>Reeves said, &ldquo;I sat down and discussed a merger with Jack Kent Cooke but we could not work anything out and there is no chance it will come about. I would think Cooke is the only serious rival we have for the major league franchise in L.A.&rdquo; Cooke, the former Toronto man, who now lives in Beverly Hills and recently paid $5,125,000 for the baseball Lakers, remains in the bidding. TV&rsquo;s Tony Owen, whose wife is actress Donna Reed, heads a third group interested in the franchise, while a fourth group, unidentified, has turned up, also.</p></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><h2><b>Crosby To Buy Into Seals</b></h2><p><b>THE 11-MAN SYNDICATE</b> headed by Cyrus McLean paid $500,000 for 90 per cent of the Vancouver Canucks with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hume retaining 10 per cent. The 16-man syndicate headed by Frank McMahon also bid $500,000 before withdrawing. Hume paid $175,000 for the club in 1962 and his losses over three years are estimated at $125,000, so his profit is $200,000.</p><p>The Bing Crosby syndicate was expecting to announce its purchase of a large portion of the San Francisco Seals momentarily. Young Barry Van Gerbig expects to share operational leadership of the club with George Flaherty of the Ice Follies. In San Francisco at the Fairmont Hotel, investment broker Van Gerbig said, &ldquo;I see our operational authority as a split down the middle. I&rsquo;ll handle the hockey and George Flaherty will handle much of the business in the building.&rdquo; Fairmont Hotel heir Mel Swig and Coley Hall are expected to retain chunks of the operation&hellip;It would appear, the new NHL teams out west will not lack for bosses.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-02508/2393872-1-eng-US/f0015-022.jpg" title="f0015-02" width="160" height="238"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Larry McNabb</b></figcaption></div><p>As for hockey, which is still being played somewhere in the background, Vancouver&rsquo;s new coach Bert Olmstead and San Francisco defenseman Larry McNabb had a fist-fight in a corridor near the Vancouver dressing rooms the other night. The cops broke it up before ref Billy Papp could get a good look at it. Olmstead accused Poile of sending McNabb out to spear Bill McNeill and Bud says, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a lie. I&rsquo;m going to sue someone unless they retract it.&rdquo; Another McNab, Max, with one &ldquo;B&rdquo;, said he&rsquo;s going to protest two-&rdquo;b&rdquo; McNabb&rsquo;s play to WHL president Al Leader and was also planning a complaint about some bad language used by Forbes Kennedy, who was later fined&hellip;Two-&rdquo;b&rdquo; McNabb spilled on the ice a couple of nights later and suffered a mild concussion and injured hand and missed some Seal games&hellip;And much to Poile&rsquo;s surprise, Kennedy was recalled by Boston. Bud is pleased with Jack McCartan&rsquo;s goaltending. &ldquo;I thing he&rsquo;s finally arrived as a pro,&rdquo; Bud said. Around the circuit, everyone is impressed with new young Seal Ron Harris, who is tough and talented.</p><h2><b>Victoria Runaway Feared</b></h2><p><b>THE FEAR AROUND THE</b> Western League is that Victoria will get so far out in front and Los Angeles will fall so far behind, attendance will be hurt&hellip;With only one loss in their first ten games, the loaded Leafs are flying. Portland has won four straight and is hanging tough, however&hellip;Lynn Patrick is working desperately to strengthen L.A. He offered the new, reformed Howie Young to Boston on &ldquo;loan&rdquo; in exchange for the loan of three young players. The Blades wish to retain rights to Young because of their NHL hopes. Boston has scouted him, but is undecided. New York may also be interested. Boston asked Lynn to let it make an offer for Young before he is sent anywhere, however. Patrick has also been close to making a couple of other deals, including one for a former WHL all-star.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-03430/2393865-1-eng-US/f0015-032.jpg" title="f0015-03" width="166" height="244"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Jack McCartan</b></figcaption></div><p>Life is like this dept.: As the season opened, we prepared a feature in which we discussed optimistically the checkered career of young Harley Hodgson, who seemed to arrive last winter. When the piece ran recently, Hodgson was benched for what Patrick considered inferior play and he was hoping to peddle the defenseman to one of the clubs that showed admiring interest in him last season.

After opening the season with seven straight games on the road, the Blades losing six, the team finally got home to beat Cleveland 2-1 but after building a 4-1 lead in 50 minutes against San Francisco, crumbled in the last 10 minutes to a 5-4 loss.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-04327/2393917-1-eng-US/f0015-042.jpg" title="f0015-04" width="154" height="237"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Howie young</b></figcaption></div><p>The colapse was reminiscent of so many the Blades had last year that the management was deeply concerned. There seem to be many new faces, but lots of old habits. Nevertheless, some of the new faces were impressive and there seemed good reason to believe that a few solid players could make a big difference.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m looking,&rdquo; Patrick admitted. &ldquo;We need help. We have to develop balance.&rdquo;</p><p>There was a possibility Howie Young would be loaned to an NHL team, probably Boston, hi exchange for three young players, and two other deals were on the fire. Patrick was hopeful goalie Jack Norris would straighten out sufficiently at Oklahoma City to be recalled. In the meantime, young Doug Favell was obtained from that club to back up veteran goalie Marcel Pelletier. The flashy Pelletier&rsquo;s play in the early going pleased Patrick.</p><p>Bob Wilson. Jake Hendrickson and Ray La Rose, none of whom opened the season with L.A. last year, joined Howie Young in providing a tough, if uneven defensive corps. Young La Rose looked like a fine prospect. Patrick had benched veteran Camille Bedard and young Harley Hodgson and was looking to send both elsewhere.</p><p>Willie O&rsquo;Ree had five goals, but three came in the first game, and he has not been playing as well as usual. Particularly disappointing was Gordy Vejprava, who had a fine preseason training camp. Warren Hynes was not doing well. Yet, all are capable of doing better.</p><p>A defenseman. Hendrickson, was tied with veteran center Norm Johnson for the team scoring lead in the first nine games. They had three goals and eight assists each. One of two rookie forwards, Bill Orban, was seeing considerable action, but the other, Bobby Schmautz, was not Veteran pivot Cliff Pennington was used as a spot-player.</p><h2><b>WHL Point Race</b></h2><h3><b>LEADING SCORERSD</b></h3><p>Most Minutes in Penalties: Howie Young, Los Angeles and Con Madigan, Portland 33.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

He tied the old standard of 1,132 points set by his old mate Dion Hall with a typical Roberge performance&mdash;a hat trick that gave Johnstown a 3-2 triumph over defending champion Long Island.</p><p>Soon afterwards Dick broke Hall&rsquo;s record and every point he scores the rest of the year will constitute a record. Dick already was the No. 1 pointmaker in the history of the EHL but Hall had the AHA record on the basis of 12 seasons, one with Toledo in the IHL and 11 with Johnstown. Dick started the year with 1,117 career points and is a good bet to clear the 1,200 mark this season.</p><p>In fact, most observers predict that Roberge will hit the 1,500 point figure before he decides to call it a career. Certainly the 11-year veteran is a principal reason why coach Dave Lucas figures his club has an excellent chance to land Northern Division laurels.</p><p>Roberge is the defending EHL scoring titlist, having amassed 139 points in 62 games a year ago. Dick hasn&rsquo;t vaulted to the early league lead thus far but his foes realize he&rsquo;ll be right in the thick of the race shortly.</p><p>Dick has a special incentive to repeat as the circuit&rsquo;s scoring king. Although last year&rsquo;s crown was his third one, he never has won crowns back to back, landing his other titles in 1955-56 and in 1960-61. The last man to win scoring honors back to back was Dick Wray of Clinton in 1958-59 and 1959-60. The only other scoring repeater in league annals was Herb Foster of the Atlantic City Sea Gulls in 1936-37, 1937-38 and 1938-39.</p><p><b>CLINTON:</b> GM Wren Blair is pleased with play of goalie Ed Babiuk, substantiating his belief Ed could supplant Norm DeFelice. Blair had Babiuk at Kingston and figured at 25 he was a better long range asset to Comets than was DeFelice. Howie Dietrich&rsquo;s hat trick beat Johnstown. Tim Hook filled in for Comets when Pete Babandc went home and Ian Anderson had neck injury. Bill Bannerman bothered by leg injury.</p><p><b>JERSEY:</b> Larry Evans dropped. Hec Lalande suspended when he failed to come to terms Norm DeFelice nursing sore jaw from flying puck. Benny Woit evicted from Knoxville game for slamming his stick on the ice after being called for slashing. Devils received Murray Wilkie from Charlotte to complete deal for Art Hart and then sent him to Jacksonville on loan. Don Grosso&rsquo;s two goals beat New Haven.</p><p><b>JACKSONVILLE:</b> Rockets lost seven straight on road and then won home opener over previously unbeaten Greensboro. Club has received many players on loan including Bobby Brown from Knoxville, Bill Glashan of Clinton, Jack Kline from Johnstown, Murray Wilkie from Jersey and Bob O&rsquo;Leary from Charlotte. Loss of five men from last year has hurt team. Ron Willy and Butch Morris are best bright spots. Club bus had tire blowout while travelling 70 miles per hour to Greensboro.</p><p><b>GREENSBORO:</b> John Murray tore ligaments in knee. Club won six straight before losing first at Jacksonville. Ron Spong says goalie Jacques Monette is &ldquo;in real good shape this year. He has a lot more ambition and is working harder.&rdquo; Hopes of luring Gil St. Onge here were crimped by the illness of the winger&rsquo;s wife. The Don Carter-Ron Muir-Jackie Nairn combo has been hot.</p><p><b>NASHVILLE:</b> In their 11th hour decision. Flyers kept Benny Froese and dropped Derrick Brockie. Flyers would like to strengthen themselves at center and defense. John McLellan says there is still a possibility Flo Pilote will play with Flyers this year. Club&rsquo;s slow start has encouraged other southern teams. Lloyd Hinchberger working with Gus Martin on defensive pointers. Leo Oliver dad of baby daughter.</p><p><b>JOHNSTOWN:</b> Jets dropped Jack Kline and Bill Reid with Kline going to Jacksonville on loan. Billy Ives due to be activated any day and another Jet will go. He has been on disabled list with bad shoulder. Goalie Andy Brown lost two teeth and acquired two stiches from a flying puck. Newcomer Pete Loveless having fast start. Claude Bernard had a tiff with Jersey&rsquo;s Arlie Parker.</p><p><b>KNOXVILLE:</b> Knights sent Bobby Brown on loan to Jacksonville to get down to player limit. Club added John Price, right winger who is fresh from 5-game trial at San Francisco. John McMillan had swinger with Charlotte&rsquo;s Ted Baylis and was doing well until Baylis pulled John&rsquo;s sweater over his head. Then he started losing. Chuck Stuart had 4-goal game, 3 in same period.</p><p><b>CHARLOTTE:</b> Defenseman Grant Warwick knocked unconscious by check from Knoxville&rsquo;s George Hayes. Jim McNulty posted two hat tricks in four games. Club placed Jim Lane on injured list to make room for Tom Polonic, a defenseman from Tulsa. Checkers set EHL record with 3 goals in 35 seconds versus Jacksonville. Old mark was 36 seconds set by Boston Olympics in 1946. Goalie Chuck Goddard had pulled leg muscle.</p><p><b>NEW HAVEN:</b> Coach Jackie LeClair tossed out of Jersey game by ref Ted Daily for protesting second period penalty. Defenseman Ron Kapitan out for six weeks with broken bone in his ankle. Gilles Papineau in the doghouse. LeClair protested loss at Johnstown in which a ref didn&rsquo;t show and a linesman was inserted as the official. Ron Her-gott received game penalty for hitting Johnstown fan with stick. Blake Ball got reprieve when Kapitan was hurt.</p><p><b>LONG ISLAND:</b> Bob Sabourin&rsquo;s hat trick toppled New Haven Coach John Muckler figuring on 75 goals between Gordie Stratton and Sabourin. Stratton is off to slow start. Ducks&rsquo; two shutouts by Jersey and Clinton were shockers. Muckler not impressed by southern teams. Club shifted Sunday games to nights to eliminate competition with pro football.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Goalies Grabbing Off Shutouts In Early Action

<div class="byline">BY STANLEY BRINK</div><p>DULUTH, Minn.</p><p>In this hockey-mad city &ldquo;at the head of the lakes&rdquo; the intercollegiate game has literally hurtled forward since spring. Membership in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, a new arena scheduled to open August 1, 1966, a better program in the making, selection as host to the NCAA championship tournament in 1967. University of Minnesota-Duluth offers as evidence.</p><p>Few dissidents opposed moving into the WCHA. Actually Duluth in point of schedule had been an official member for some seasons past. One distinct barrier excluded official status.</p><p>Duluth is also in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference whose rules restrict members to one league only. Competition for Duluth still holds in football and basketball, all other sports save hockey.</p><p>Last spring Duluth received permission to apply for WCHA inclusion. Acceptance followed. Duluth had also been reluctant to join because of the belief there was some growing to do.</p><p>Furthermore Duluth was minus a freshman squad until the 196465 season and another handicap was suitable playing facilities. First products of the first freshman array are now on the varsity list. Full benefit of freshman hockey is certain to appear by 1966-67.</p><p>Duluth did not go into a required schedule at the WCHA meeting but official entrance plus increased good will and understanding brought on the equivalent. With the exception of the continuing Minnesota boycott of Denver, all members will meet each other at least twice.</p><p>As to 1965-66 prospects Duluth has problems that may not be overcome. Lack of depth is one. Bob Hill is the lone defense returnee. Two lines are needed. One contains Keith (Huffer) Christiansen, called Duluth&rsquo;s best player ever. The others are Mike Tok and Pat Francisco. This trio brought in 66 goals last winter.</p><p>Coach Ralph A. Romano would appreciate additional centers and he would be happy if there were more experience about. One fact is assured. Duluth will &ldquo;play the string out&rdquo; no matter the opponent.</p><h2><b>KELLEY STILL GOING</b></h2><p>CHESTNUT HILL, Mass.</p><p>Mr. College Hockey, alias Coach John H. (Snooks) Kelley, remains younger than ever as he directs Boston College in his twentyninth season. His career winning record of.703 on 386-164-14 entitles him to retire and there would be no censure if he did.</p><p>Instead he talks about the new venture and carefully admits Boston College &ldquo;will do well. Mr. Kelley is also the winner with the understatement. Back from the 24-7 squad of 1964-65, runner up to Michigan Tech for the NCAA title, and ECAC champion, are 11 letter men and a fine broth of newcomers featuring Paul (The Shot) Hurley.</p><p>The first line of All-American John Cunniff. Phil Dyer, and Jim Mullen; Dick Fuller and John Moylan of the second; Jerry York, Bob Kupka, and Fred Kinsman of the third indicate no recession in scoring. Al Keirstad and Woody Johnson head the defense contingent.</p><p>In goal will be Pat (The Magnificent) Murphy, the one who declined to quit when dropped last season and won back the job by sheer persistence. Campus talk had it that &ldquo;they chased Murphy out of the rink but he refused to leave.&rdquo;</p><p>Cunniff-Mullen-Dyer were the banner scoring trio in the college lists last winter at 66-102 with Cunniff doing 31-36. As a sophomore a season earlier Cunniff pencilled 27-25 for 52.</p><p>Coach Kelley, with 27 winning seasons in 28,&rdquo; the winningest coach in college hockey,&rdquo; took a young inexperienced outfit in 1964-65 that was rated a year away. All BC did was finish national runner-up, head of the ECAC, and first in New England.</p><p>Back in 1949 BC gained the national crown. Add eight New England and seven eastern titles plus eight trips to the nationals. No wonder they call Coach Kelley &ldquo;Mr. College Hockey.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

HOCKEY CROSSWORD

<div class="byline">BY JACK GATECLIFF</div><p>ST. CATHARINES, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Happiness may be many things to many people.</p><p>However for St. Catharines Black Hawk right winger Doug Shelton, happiness is a sudden ability to put the puck in the net.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0019-02262/2394423-1-eng-US/f0019-022.jpg" title="f0019-02" width="157" height="240"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Doug Shelton</b></figcaption></div><p>Born in Woodstock and a member of the Ingersoll junior B team before coming to St. Catharines three years ago, Shelton, for his first two seasons in the Ontario Hockey Association was every goaltenders&rsquo; best friend.</p><p>He scored only three goals his first year, just 11 the next and his chief claim to fame was that he seemed to be indestructible.</p><p>During those years he played 132 consecutive league and playoff games.</p><p>&ldquo;Everyone from Manager Ken Campbell to Coach Chirp Brenchley told me to stop worrying and keep trying, that the goals would come,&rdquo; said the 19-year-old forward. &ldquo;But what the heck. You get pretty discouraged after a while.&rdquo;</p><p>After two such mediocre years Shelton, for a reason which ever he is at a loss to explain, has suddenly developed into not only St. Catharines&rsquo; highest scorer but the most prolific player it the league.</p><p>In the first 10 Hawk games he scored 14 goals, which is three more than he accumulated in the previous 132 starts.</p><p>He&rsquo;s had three hat tricks, one each against Niagara Falls Oshawa and London and has only been kept off the scoresheet for one full game.</p><p>Don&rsquo;t ask me what I&rsquo;m doing differently,&rdquo; he said after scoring three times in the Hawks&rsquo; 6-4 win over London Nationals.</p><p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think I&rsquo;m working any harder but now when I shoo they&rsquo;re just going in. As a matter of fact I don&rsquo;t care what the reason is just so long as I can keep this up.&rdquo;</p><p>In the case of Shelton, as with any other athlete, it could be that he&rsquo;s not pressing as hard.</p><p>He&rsquo;s playing more relaxed hockey, is avoiding checks rather than running into them and in the process has switched role from the guy the goaltender love into their mortal enemy.</p><p>In addition to his 14 goals Shelton has also picked up seven assists and is tied for second place in points with defenseman Bobby Orr of Oshawa.</p><p>Danny O&rsquo;Shea of Oshawa leads the league with 23 points on nine goals and 14 assists.</p><p>Others in the top nine are Andre Lacroix of Peterborough eight goals, 11 assists, 19 points; Bob Sicinski of St. Catharines 8-9-17; Terry Caffery of Toronto Marlboros 8-8-16; Jacques Lemaire of Montreal 6-9-15, Michel LaPalme of Montreal and Gary Marsh of Hamilton tied at five goals, 10 assists and 15 points.</p><p>Oshawa rookie Ian Young is still the only goaltender to have played in all his team&rsquo;s games. He has a 3.10 goals against average in 10 starts. Dune Wilson of Niagara Falls, in five games, has 2.65.</p><p>In the race for the OHA junior A pennant, two teams sponsored by the Boston Bruins continue to show their heels to the other seven clubs.</p><p>After eight games the Niagara Falls Flyers, defending Memorial Cup champions, remained as the only unbeaten team. Their record showed six wins and two ties, Strangely enough the only clubs to take points from the Flyers were two of the lower members, Kitchener and Montreal Canadiens.</p><p>Oshawa Generals, the second Boston-sponsored team, lost a chance to overtake the Flyers when they dropped a 4-2 decision in Niagara Falls.</p><p>With another standing room only crowd of 3,670 in the 3,100 seat Falls arena, the Flyers built up a 3-0 lead in the first half, then staved off a late rally by the Generals.</p><p>After many lean years, it would seem that the Boston farm system is finally producing talent for the perennial last place Bruins.</p><p>With the exception of the top two and London in last place, the teams are well bunched.</p><p>St. Catharines had the most productive week with three consecutive wins after losing four of their first six starts but only two points separated third place Toronto Marlboros and Hamilton, Montreal, Kitchener and Peterborough, all tied for fifth.</p><p>The Hawks nudged into fourth place, a point above the four tied teams and one below the Marlboros.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Looking At The OHA Junior Race

<div class="byline">BY JIM PROUDFOOT</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-02124/2394509-1-eng-US/f0020-022.jpg" title="f0020-02" width="876" height="871"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Leafs have swung to younger legs in the past week in order to shake the club from its depth. PETER STEMKOWSKI, shown here warding off a check from Canadiens&rsquo; JEAN-GUY TALBOT, was recalled from Rochester and has added spark to the club&rsquo;s attack.</b></figcaption></div><p>TORONTO. Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Shack&rsquo;s back.</p><p>So it Pete Stemkowski.</p><p>And by the time you read this, Red Armstrong and Brian Conacher may have joined the skidding Toronto Maple Leafs.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-01188/2394516-1-eng-US/f0020-012.jpg" title="f0020-01" width="153" height="227"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Eddie Shack</b></figcaption></div><p>Desperate situations dictate desperate measures, you see. and that&rsquo;s what brought on this personnel upheaval so soon after Punch Imlach, the coach and general manager, had outlined a stand pat policy of patience.</p><p>Imlach returned from a scouting trip to Rochester. N.Y.. and reported he&rsquo;d seen nothing on the farm team roster there that would help Leafs. Four days later, he anounced that Stemkowski was being promoted to replace Eddie Joyal at center and two days after that, he brought in Eddie &lsquo;the Entertainer.&rsquo;</p><p>Imlach doesn&rsquo;t usually change his mind that way. But Leafs&rsquo;, performances as they played three games in four days&mdash;two losses and a tie&mdash;convinced him waiting wouldn&rsquo;t help. He&rsquo;d have to bring in new men and hope for the best. The players on hand weren&rsquo;t about to improve.</p><p>So he called in Stemkowski. then Shack, and returned Jim Pappin to the Rochester club. Next in line. Imlach. would be Armstrong and Conacher.</p><p>There&rsquo;s a suspicion Imlach might have preferred to stick with his earlier plan, which was to stick with his regulars and count on their gradual return to form. However, the front office which has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on player development. clamored for more changes, wondering if Imlach had been guilty of delaying his rebuilding program too long. One school of thought in Toronto has it that Imlach should have been moving in younger skaters, and giving them experience, even during the recent seasons when Leafs were winning Stanley Cups, and certainly last year when they slumped into fourth place</p><p>Whatever the background, you couldn&rsquo;t question the return of Stemkowski and Shack. Leafs looked pathetic in losing a home game to New York Rangers, 4-2.</p><p>If there was immediate improvement, it was hard to detect. Leafs, with Shack and Stemkowski in the lineup, went into Chicago and were clobbered, 9-0.</p><p>When he arrived. Shack revealed that the promotion came just in time to prevent him from quitting hockey. True to the statement he made at the time he was assigned to Rochester, Shack waited for signs he was to return to Leafs and. when such indications weren&rsquo;t forthcoming. he told Joe Crozier, the Amerks&rsquo; coach and general manager. that he planned to retire. Then came Crozier&rsquo;s phone call, telling him to meet Leafs in Chicago.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;d given him two weeks&rsquo; notice,&rdquo; Shack said, &ldquo;so he could get somebody else. I was serious about going home. Maybe to sell cars. I don&rsquo;t know. My stocks are doing well.</p><p>&ldquo;You have to make something of your life sometime.&rdquo; The Entertainer added, &ldquo;and knocking around the bushes isn&rsquo;t my idea of it. I felt I could play for somebody in the NHL and if Leafs weren&rsquo;t going to let me do it, I figured I might as well quit.</p><p>&ldquo;Now that I&rsquo;m here. I&rsquo;ll have to score some goals and prove I belong.&rdquo; Shack said.</p><p>He was right there. He had produced only 53 goals in 203 scheduled games with Leafs and that&rsquo;s just not enough. He got only five last year. Eddie made good a few days, when he banged in four and won first all-star nomination as Leafs whipped Rangers 5-2.</p><p>Failing to score was only part of the reason behind Shack&rsquo;s relegation to Rochester. He was sent there to boost the team&rsquo;s box office appeal around the American League and particularly in Toronto where the Amerks will be playing 10 games after Christmas.</p><p>How this latest move affects that plan isn&rsquo;t &ldquo;immediately known.</p><p>But the Shack decision underlines how serious Imlach thinks his problems are. Previously, he said the rambunctious Shack was a luxury Leafs could afford only when they had a powerful club. As a team that&rsquo;s trying to fight its way out of fourth place, they couldn&rsquo;t keep the Entertainer.</p><p>So how badly off must they be to bring him back now?</p><p>There&rsquo;s this about it. though: Shack will at least divert the fans&rsquo; attention from Leafs&rsquo; overall failures.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

More Changes Seen Coming To Lift Club

<p>PITTSBURGH, Pa.&mdash;</p><p>Ian (Scotty 1 Morrison, new referee-in-chief of the National Hockey League, and Carl Voss, his predecessor, made a tour of American Hockey League cities before Voss returned to his Florida home.</p><p>Voss, who retired last summer after 15 years as the NHL&rsquo;s supervisor of officials, spent a month with Morrison visiting NHL, AHL and CPHL cities, and helping Morrison get started.</p><p>Morrison is making his headquarters in Toronto.</p><p>Voss is living in Boca Raton, Fla., where he recently built a home. He says his home wasn&rsquo;t harmed in the recent siege of Florida hurricanes, and is getting along well in his retirement.</p><p>&ldquo;Time doesn't hang heavy on my hands,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I find there is plenty to do around the house.

Voss Makes Final Ice Swing With New Referee-In-Chief

<p>TORONTO. Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Coach Punch Imlach of Toronto Maple Leafs has confirmed that rookie left winger Brit Selby is in the Nation al Hockey League to stay this season.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-0399/2394571-1-eng-US/f0020-032.jpg" title="f0020-03" width="152" height="238"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Brit Selby</b></figcaption></div><p>Selby has played his sixth NHL game for Leafs and Imlach must ask waivers on Selby if he wants to farm him out to the minor leagues this year.</p><p>&ldquo;You can bet I have no intentions of risking waivers on Selby,&rdquo; said Imlach. &ldquo;He may not take a regular turn in every game, but he&rsquo;s here to stay. Brit is too good a prospect to give one of the other clubs a shot at him on waivers.&rdquo; Selby helped convince Imlach he was worth keeping around by scoring twice against Rangers last weekend.</p><p>Imlach also said rookie center Mike Walton, now dividing his time between Tulsa and Rochester, would join Leafs later in the season for a trial.</p><p>He also mentioned Brian Conacher, son of former star Lionel Conacher, who is also playing with the AHL Americans.</p><p>&ldquo;We think we have a good one in Brian. He&rsquo;s starting to score goals and may earn promotion to the big team before too long.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re trying to buy more time for our young players in the minors,&rdquo; said Imlach, who admits it&rsquo;s a nice feeling to have such a sparkling rookie crop to fall back on in case of trouble.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>
