Blues Demand NHL ‘Throw The Book’ At Habs’ Ferguson
ST. LOUIS— The St. Louis Blues are demanding that National Hockey League President Clarence Campbell throw the book at rough, tough John Ferguson of the Montreal Canadiens. Ferguson has been cast in the first test of the NHL’s new legislation against stick swinging and St. Louis coach Scotty Bowman is screaming for the severest penalty possible for the Montreal winger. The initial case for president Clarence Campbell since the Wayne Maki-Ted Green incident resulted from Fergy’s two-handed slash at Gary Sabourin that brought about a benches-cleared scuffle and marred the best game of the season.

Ex-Red Cagne Strengthens Flyers’ Sagging Middle

Coach Lloyd Hinchberger previously had been plagued by the lack of an experienced center and attributed the club’s difficulties to the absence of such a performer. Nashville plummeted to the bottom of the Southern Division almost from the outset of the campaign and has been endeavoring ever since to extricate itself. Now that Gagne is on the scene, Hinchberger has a feeling that the rise of the Flyers to a contending position isn’t far away. “He’s shown me he can do the job in the short time he’s been here,” says Hinch, “and if we can get the rest of the…
