Toronto’s Maple Leaf Color It Beautiful In this age of color television, color is the ‘in’ thing. The use of colored skates in the NHL is an aspect of color to be commended. But some of the uniforms need to have a little more color added to them. Right away, I think of the Leaf uniform, which is a natural for color improvement. The Maple Leaf is a very beautiful thing in its autumn dress, and this color could be easily added to the Leaf on the uniform. It would make the Leaf uniform one of the most colorful in the league, with the big maple leaf and the small shoulder leafs colored. So, color the leaf. DON HADLEY, Brampton, Ont. Charley O. Good for NHL Hockey I must comment on the story in…

Fashoway Denies Bucks Running Away
PORTLAND— Coach Gordon Fashoway of the Portland Buckaroos vehemently denies the “charges.” The charges? That the Buckaroos are going to run away with the Western Hockey League championship this season. “You’ll win it by 20 points,” one seasoned observer told Fashoway, after catching the act of the entire league in the first five weeks of the season. “Don’t you ever believe it,” snarled back the second-season coach. “This is a tough league,” he said, “and any night we aren’t really up for a game, we are going to lose.” Regardless of Fashoway’s feelings, however, the Buckaroos skated off to the fastest start in the club’s 11-year history. They opened with three straight victories, were held to a 3-3 tie by Denver on their home ice and then were shut out in Seattle, 3-0. Then they skated to seven straight…
Erickson Forgets The Past In Hiring Young For Defense
PHOENIX— Declaring, “we can’t win with the players we have,” Phoenix Roadrunners’ coach Aut Erickson began changing personnel to improve on his club’s record of two wins and a tie in the first 11 games. He became reunited with Howie Young and made a scouting trip to watch the Tulsa Ooilers in the Central Hockey League. The parent Toronto Maple Leafs had promised Erickson help from Tulsa. Young and Erickson were roommates with the Chicago Black Hawks in 1963-64 but had a violent meeting last season when Young was skating defense for Vancouver. His blind-siding of his former roommate is generally believed to have retired the 32-year-old Erickson to the coaching ranks. “I don’t believe Howie intended to hurt me,” said Erickson, when he announced Young’s acquisition on a month’s trial from the Vancouver Canucks.
