McAneeley One Of Seals’ Few Bright Spots
OAKLAND— One of the bright spots in a mainly tarnished season for the Golden Seals of California has been supplied by a 23-year-old native of Cranbrook, B.C. whose teammates call him “Dude”. He’s Ted McAneeley, a fleet rugged defenseman who has been one of a thin corps of defenders protecting the forb against some of the most devastating assaults an NHL team has ever endured. But none of this has robbed McAneeley of his enthusiasm for a long and productive hockey career. At a height of 5’9” and weight of 185 pounds, the “Dude” looks somewhat like a sawedoff tree trunk on skates. But the image is deceiving because his weight is easily distributed over a solid-muscled torso which he strives seriously to keep in condition. “It took me a lot longer to get…
Penn, Princeton Battle Back In ECAC’s Playoff Struggle
PHILADELPHIA — Old Sol ain’t been shinin’ much on ECAC Division One’s Southern Hemisphere this season, so one can imagine the surprise of the cold weather crowd as Penn and Princeton both won two games last week to pop back into the playoff picture while February dawned. The Tigers extended their undefeated streak to four games with home ice wins of 4-1 over Cornell and 5-3 against Dartmouth, the heaviest of the Ivies to date. Penn, meanwhile, blasted Northeastern 7-3 at home and nailed Brown 4-1 in Providence to inch their Division mark to 6-8, just a notch below the Princetonians at 6-7-1. Both teams have the better part of their remaining schedule to be played at home, making a stretch surge a distinct possibility for both. Meanwhile, the most important non-divisional Eastern…

Justly or not, Harkness is blamed for the deterioration of the Wings during the last few years. Owner Bruce Norris of the Wings proved a loyal and understanding boss for a lot longer than most NHL owners would have tolerated the decline and fall of a onetime proud and powerful NHL franchise. Veteran hockey man Jimmy Skinner will act as general manager of the Wings until a replacement for Harkness is appointed… The Red Wings have changed coaches eight times since 1968… Alex Delvecchio is proving as honest a coach as he was a player…
Hockey Ad Lib
The Hard Life In The Big Time… THE CALIFORNIA GOLDEN SEALS had just lost their 21st straight game on the road and in the corner of their dressing room Fred Glover sat alone staring at a stat sheet without expression. There wasn’t anything there that would tell him how his club start could winning. After a while, he folded it up, put it in his brief case. It is his office. He lives out of it. With the Seals, no one can afford much more. He is their general manager and their coach. With the Seals, there is not much more to the front office staff. The Oakland franchise has a handsome home building, uniforms, equipment and enough bodies to fill the uniforms and put a team on the ice. They…
