Leafs’ Owner To Offer Henderson $25,000 Raise
Toronto Globe & Mar TORONTO— Maple Leaf president Harold Ballard says he is prepared to renegotiate the two-year contract he concluded with Paul Henderson last summer to reward him for his spectacular contributions to Teams Canada’s victory over the Soviet Union Nationals in the first World Series of hockey.

Henderson shot the winning goal on each occasion as the Canadians swept their last three matches in Moscow to produce an over-all series edge of four victories to three, with one game tied. “The guy is a national hero”, said Ballard. Ballard said he also plans to work out special financial benefits for Ron Ellis, who skated with Henderson on a line with Bobby…

Rick Newell, who…
Carr In Ranger Spotlight, But Where To Play Him!
NEW YORK— Gene Carr stuck out his hand and said hello. It was the young centerman’s first training camp as a New York Ranger and he was perspiring heavily after coming off the ice from an Emile Francis work-out. This could be a big season for the 21-year-old Nanaimo, B.C. native whom the Rangers obtained in a trade with the St. Louis Blues last November. Our opening paragraph indicated that Carr is a center. Sometimes, that is. but it was as a left wing that he performed most ably for the Rangers in the playoff last Spring. It was Gene’s speed which kept Yvan Cournoyer at bay in the opening series. “Emile told me to skate hard and stay with him.” remembered the blonde whippet. “Cournoyer is tough but I held him pretty…
