Gordon Makes Triumphant Return To AHL
CLEVELAND Ohio — Although Jackie Gordon found himself tending a revolving door through which players shuffled in and out during his first week at the helm of the Cleveland Barons, the former Baron great proved that he has lost none of his coaching knack in the three and one-half years he spent on the scouting trail for the New York Rangers. Eight days and two defeats after his return to the coaching ranks, he had his youthful Barons on a modest winning streak, tied for second place with Rochester in the American Hockey League’s Western Division and safely ahead of Quebec in the standings, at least for the time being. At this writing, three straight wins over Springfield, Baltimore and Quebec gave the Barons their biggest winning streak since the 1967-68 season. Gordon has…

INJURY - RACKED HABS BANK ON ROOKIE
MONTREAL, Que.— Goaltending will be the big key during the next few weeks to Montreal’s chances of taking the Eastern Division lead into the new year. But neither veteran Gump Worsley nor his young nor his young partner Rogatien Vachon will be around to turn it. It’s old hat now that Worsley stopped the hockey world and got off a plane at Chicago on the Canadiens’ last trip to the West Coast. After he arrived home, the 39-year-old goalie consulted the club doctor who found Worsley on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Aerophobia was only part of his problem and Gump was ordered to stay away from hockey for a full month. That left the main netminding job up to Vachon who has come through so many times in the clutch since his…
