Trevelyan’s Loss Crusher To Checkers; Jets Grab Grid Star Taylor For Defense
CHARLOTTE—The injury bugaboo that has struck the Charlotte Checkers evidently is going to cost them a chance to win the Southern Division regular season laurels in the Eastern Hockey League. The club has been bothered with mishaps all year but the crusher came when Tom Trevelyan, its ace scorer and also the division’s top point-getter, was hurt and was sidelined indefinitely. Trevelyan, who had topped the Southern scoring race most of the campaign, suffered strained knee ligaments when hit by Greensboro’s Ted Lanyon. At first is was thought the center would be out for a few days but later examinations disclosed the rookie would be sidelined as long as a month. During his absence, there was a two week stretch when the Checkers were unable to pick up any wins at all. If Trevelyan…

Habs Get Ferguson, Beliveau Back For Second-Half Drive On NHL Top
MONTREAL— John Ferguson and Jean Beliveau came off the injury list last week and the Canadiens showed signs of coming back to true form for the second half drive in the Eastern Division. Ferguson, who has missed nine games with a fractured thumb and 15 of 16 due to a six-game suspension for stick swinging, wound up with the winning goal as Montreal edged Los Angeles 4-3. Two nights later, Beliveau was a surprise starter after having the cast removed from a cracked ankle that shelved him 13 games and without a scrimmage in six days of skating. The brilliant center wasn’t used until the 12-minute mark of the first period but quickly made his presence felt by scoring the tying goal and setting up another in a 3-1 victory over Pittsburgh. “I was…
FADING SEALS’ PROBLEMS SEEN WIDE SPREAD
“you like 7up 7up likes you” “you like 7up 7up likes you” OAKLAND— Will the REAL Oakland Seals please stand up? Time runneth out! In fifth place and slipping, the Seals have vet to regain the confidence and technique which carried them to a second place finish in the National Hockey League’s West Division. As of Jan. 5, the Seals were in fifth place, five points behind Philadelphia and just four points ahead of last place Los Angeles. The first half of the race in the West was a running disaster for the Oaklanders. Bright spots were few. During one 18 game stretch, mostly in November, they lost 13, won but two and tied three. And in the eight games which carried them through the end of the year and into the conclusion of the first half…
