FRANK ORR SAYS:
Trades That Worked ALTHOUGH THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS have spread good will through the National Hockey League during the past few seasons by being a polite opponent, they’ve acquired additional popularity this season by participating in a pair of deals which brought happiness to all concerned, even themselves In one swap, the Leafs dispatched veteran winger Gary Sabourin to the California Seals in exchange for forward Stan Weir. Both sides are elated with the swap. Sabourin has produced a batch of early season goals for the young Seals and provided good leadership to a floundering team while Weir was one of the Leafs’ most effective attackers, both at center and left wing.

Generals Bounce Back On The Ice, At Box Office
GREENSBORO— The Greensboro Generals must surely be the success story of the SHL. Just last year, after a poor season on the ice and at the gate, no one was certain if Greensboro would even continue to have a hockey team.

Pyatt Working Way Up Capitals’ Talent Ladder
WASHINGTON— As Year Two started to bear an awful resemblance to year one—two wins in 21 games in both cases—the Washington Capitals and their fans were searching manfully for encouraging signs. Lefty McFadden, assistant to the president (of the hockey club, not the country) was getting a cauliflower ear from making too many phone calls in efforts to entice opponents out of some useful players. Only trouble is, the fat cats want to get fatter, and keep bringing up the names of the handful of better players on the Capitals. In-creasingly, one has to think this handful includes center Nelson Pyatt. Nellie, as he is inevitably known, has inched his way up the club’s talent ladder.
