‘Small Town’ St, lawrente, Clarkson Knights Seen Tough On Bia City College Rivals
POTSDAM— “They’re out in the middle of nowhere and they play hockey”. For the average college hockey fan, this statement pretty much summarizes the knowledge available concerning Clarkson College and St. Lawrence University. He also knows that most of the leading teams in the ECAC make a bi-annual trip for back to back games in the North Country towns of Potsdam and Canton, New York, and he can’t seem to figure out why only three teams have ever come out of the weekend series with a pair of victories. A feeling of isolation immediately sets in when the city slicker disembarks at the miniairport at Massena, N.Y. on the St. Lawrence River. He does see a few houses, and an occasional motor vehicle, on the 20-mile ride down route 56 to Potsdam on…

Leafs Eve Penguins—But Are They Looking At Kelly?
PITTSBURGH— Is Red Kelly a wanted man? If so, Kelly says it’s news to him. A Philadelphia writer says that “Reliable sources maintain Penguin Coach Red Kelly will be coaching the Toronto Maple Leafs next season,” and then added that “Kelly would love to coach in Toronto, where he enjoyed success as a player and as a member of Parliament.” “I don’t know anything about it. It’s all news to me” Kelly said. “That’s all I know. “I do know that we’ve got a battle on our hands. We’ve got our hands full and we’ve got a job to do,” he said, wanting only to talk of the present, not the future.
