Gimpy Knees Make Carleton Question Mark For The NHL

TORONTO, Ont.— Wayne Carleton has everything he needs to become a super star in the National Hockey league — everything, that is, but a sound pair of knees. His background of knee operations and recurring problems and repeated injuries make him a gigantic question mark. If those legs hold together, it seems certain he’ll crack Leafs’ lineup this season, even though he’s still eligible for junior competition. Maple Leaf Gardens customers got proof of that recently when Carleton, replacing injured Frank Mahovlich on a line with Dave Keon and Jim Pappin, popped two goals in an exhibition game against Chicago Black Hawks. Carleton is a giant, who can skate swiftly and shoot with the power and accuracy of a Bobby Hull. His nickname, “Swoop,” accurately describes his move around a defender, one arm to…

Lunde, Caron Boost Goal Scoring Power Of Portland Buckaroos

PORTLAND, Ore.— Seeking to win their third straight Western League pennant and attone for last season’s playoff loss to Victoria, the Portland Buckaroos have added considerable scoring strength to last season’s club. Tommy McVie and Len Ronson are gone, but Alain “Boom Boom” Caron and Len Lunde have arrived. Caron, who scored 77 goals for St. Louis of the Central League, an all-time hockey record in 1964, scored 47 goals for Buffalo of the American League last season and has averaged 55 goals the last four seasons. Troubled by a bad knee, Caron can’t skate well enough to be the sort of all-round player the Bucks favor, but he is a great shooter. He scored 12 game-winners for Buffalo last season and had nine two-goal games, two against Portland in inter-league play. At…
