Jones In Old Time Role Leading Aroused Bucks To Runaway Race Lead
PORTLAND, Ore.— Led by its little old pro Art Jones, Portland is setting a tremendous pace after six weeks of the Western League season. Portland entered the seventh week with an eight-game undefeated streak, five of them wins, and an eight-point bulge on the second-place team. The Bucks lost only two and tied four of their first 17 games. Gunning for an unprecedented third straight WHL pennant, Manager-Coach Hal Laycoe’s Bucks are off to their best start in their seven seasons back in the circuit. Portland leads the league in shots taken, 584. With 73 goals, Portland is the highest-scoring team in the league and is off to its fastest scoring start ever. Recently they scored eight goals in each of three straight games, beating Seattle 8-2, L.A. 8-1 and Vancouver 8-1.…

Brewer Wins Legal Battle With NHL As Way Cleared For Amateur Return
WINNIPEG, Man.— Put the name Carl Brewer down as a member of Canada’s National Hockey team. The former National Hockey League allstar defenseman has been given the green light to return to amateur hockey ranks by the NHL. Brewer’s legal advisor, Alan Eagleson of Toronto, said it was just a formality to get Brewer cleared now to line up with the National team.

Brewer contended the NHL club was illegally stopping him from playing as an amateur and contested the matter through Eagleson, who is rapidly becoming known as the hockey player’s ‘legal beagle’. Campbell made the announcement in…
