“Needed Policeman”, Reason N.Y. Grabbed Fleming From Bruins
NEW YORK. N. Y. Only a few weeks ago Ranger President Bill Jennings called Ted Green a “wild animal,” placed a bounty on his head. He was supported by GM-coach Emile Francis who accused Green of spearing Phil Goyette out of action for a month. Today, however, the Rangers are boasting about obtaining tough guy Reg Fleming from the Bruins in a trade for John McKenzie. How do the Rangers reconcile their clean hockey campaign with the acquisition of Fleming?

His temper, however, cost the Gens a hockey game the other night when he was banished from a contest in the early moments against the Charlotte Checkers. As a consequence, the Gens were forced to use their trainer, Bob Bunker, in the cage for virtually 57 minutes and it was no contest in an 8-3 Charlotte triumph. Monette’s temper reached the boiling point as a result of an elbow tossed by Sam Gregory in a melee in front of the Greensboro cage.
