DETROIT&mdash;It seems almost a lead-pipe cinch that Roy Conacher, last playing member of the famous Conacher Clan of Toronto, will be sporting the flaming red and white of the Detroit Red Wings this season.Jolly Jack Adams, fiery manager of the Red Wings and sometimes referred to as the David&rsquo; Harum of hockey, seems to have soured on Conacher because of the latter&rsquo;s failure to came to terms with the club that secured him from the Boston Bruins before the start of last season.According to Adams, Conacher&rsquo;s contract for this season called for $7,000 plus a chance to up a take to $8,500 with bonuses. But when Conacher and Jolly Jawn met face to face in the early stages of the Wings training period, the 31-year-old native of Toronto balked at the terms offered him by the Detroit club. He demanded a flat $8,500 to start plus a few more greenbacks in bonuses.&ldquo;No, we won&rsquo;t pay that kind of money&rsquo;, bawled Adams recalling at the same time how Conacher was only able to score five goals&rsquo; and four assists during Detroit&rsquo;s 14-game streak during which time the the club failed to register a win.So now it is rumored that Roving Roy is on the block and that clubs are interested in securing his services. Last season Conacher drew $6,500 from the Wings&rsquo; till plus an additional $1,100 in bonuse He also secured a job for his twin-brother, Bert. Bert played in the amateur league that operates in the Detroit-Windsor district.He started his professional career with the Bruins in the 1938-39 season and after serving four years in the. Canadian Armed Forces he returned&rsquo; to the Bruins only to be shifted to Detroit last year.Roy like his brother Charlie of Toronto&rsquo;s one and only Kid Line is said to have one of the hardest shots&rsquo; in the money ranks. Roy, however, fires from the left side while Charlie peppered them in from the right.In 1938 when he broke in with the Bruins, Roy scored 26 goals and 11 assists. In the four seasons&rsquo; he played with the Rossmen, Conacher had a total of 105 goals and 62 assists including playoffs. He was at the peak of his career as&rsquo; a Bruin when he traded his stick for a gun in 1942. &#9632;

Roy Wants Raise—Adams Says No Conacher Unsigned, May Be Traded

MONTREALThe players of the National Hockey League can step right up and take a bow. The way they went about playing the All-Star game in Toronto brought them richly deserved praise from hockey fans everywhere.The members of All-Star team and the Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs had no easy task in providing the fans in Maple Leaf Gardens, and the listeners to the national radio broadcast, with a game they will remember for a long time to come.First of all, hockey was strugling hard for early-season recognition. Baseball had just finished putting on its most dazzling show in many years&mdash;the rough and tumble World Series between the Yankees and the Dodgers.Football filled the air. The Krols, Flichocks, McFarlanes, Wagners, Lawsons, Sandbergs, and Hansons held the stage, front and centre. And In America, football magic transfixed the fans in Detroit, Chicago, Boston and New York.Some fans thought that the First Annual All-Star game was just another of those interminable pre-season exhibitions between the Reds and the Whites.It was strictly up to the competitors to make or break this first annual All-Star game.It goes without saying that all of the players entered that game at something less than mid-season form from the standpoint of top physical condition. But despite all these handicaps, the game turned out to be a corker.They played as If the Stanley Cup was at stake, when really all that was at stake was the good name of Hockey.In a matter of minutes, old feuds were renewed and new ones &ldquo;established as the teams turned on the speed and gave out with the heavy contact work. The Alf-Stars fought from behind a two-goal deficit to win the game 4 to 3.In a game of this kind, where every man was levelling, it was highly improbable that all players would escape without a serious injury of sme kind.That the most serious injury had to happen to Bill Mosienko, the Chicago Black Hawks terrific winger, Is most unfortunate. There aren&rsquo;t enough Moslenkos in the league as it is; certainly not enough on the Black Hawks line-up which received a staggering blow when Mosienko broke his ankle.And for the future&mdash;for the 1948 All-Star Game in Chicago&mdash;the next Stanley Cup Champions and the next All-Star Team have something to shoot at. If the first All-Star game could be improved upon, doubtless the competitors in the 1948 classic at Chicago will find a way.Hockey Is like that. &#9632;

Doug Smith

PHILADELPHIA&mdash;Phil Herg-esheimer, who racked up 48 goals and 44 assists to lead the American Hockey League pointgetters last season, will be lost to the Philadelphia Rockets for the first three weeks of the season. Hergesheimer broke his jaw in an exhibition game with Providence Red&rsquo;s before the schedule opened. &#9632;

Phil Out Of Action

Toronto&mdash;In order that he may regain his old form, Bob Gold-ham, defenceman with the Stanly Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs has been sent to Pittsburg Hornets of the American Hockey League, subject to immediate recall.Goldham played only 11 games last year with the Leafs before he suffered a fractured arm and was shelved. Toronto officials believe that he is trying too hard this fall to land a defence berth with the parent club. He is below weight and the change may restore him to shape both physically and mentally. &#9632;

Goldham To Minors

<div class="byline">By ARNIE JONES</div>The Quebec Senior Hockey League officially lifted the curtain on the 1947-48 season last weekend and with it came the debut of the loop&rsquo;s two new American entries, Boston Olympics and the New York Rovers.It was the first step in the league&rsquo;s new plan of internationalism in which the Slater loop expands its entry list south of the border. Both the American clubs however failed to mark up a point lit the win column. The Pics were forced to bow to the Shawinigan Falls Cataracts Saturday night in Shawinigan by a 6-1 count while the Ranger farmhands gave way to the champion Montreal Royals on Sunday 3-0.<h2>STRONGEST LOOP</h2>Despite the fact that only five games are now penciled into the record books, the Q.S.H.L. seems again destined to be tagged as the strongest senior amateur hockey league in operation. The Royals, holders of both the Q.S.H.L. title and the coveted Allan Cup, appear to be the league&rsquo;s big question mark at this early stage of the campaign. Coach Carlin has been forced to plug many gaping holes in his lineup left after the pro Canadiens put the finger on five of the Royals&rsquo; king-pin performers. However Carlin&rsquo;s Clan can still ice the most powerladen defence corps of the seventeam set-up.Although his highly rated Senators were only able to gain an Buck Boucher has another strong even break with the Quebec Aces, contender in the Capital. Emerging from its roster of stars, Ottawa has produced one of the most promising young newcomers in 18-year-old Larry Regan.<h2>REGAN PROMISING</h2>Regan drew credit for four of the Senator&rsquo;s six goals against the Aces&rsquo; nimble netminder, Johnny Marois. The Aces, on the other hand, have been molded into smooth operating machine by the club&rsquo;s new pilot, Punch Imlach, who last month succeeded Lex Cook.Determined to bring a winner to Shawinigan, the Cataracts stepped into sole possession of first place in the initial league standing with their two straight victories. After bumping off the Olympics Saturday, the Cats traveled to Valleyfield where they lathered the home club, 8-4.The loss of bouncing Jimmy Orlando to the Royals will weaken the Braves along the blueline. The former Detroit Red Wing blocker was the mainstay two winters. However the Braves are stocked with a well balanced forward department of rookies blended with seasoned veterans. Kitoute Joannette, Moe White and Marcel Bessette form the backbone of the attacking on the Valleyfield club of the past unit. &#9632;

The Race Is On!

<div class="byline">By SYD THOMAS</div>There&rsquo;s always something new in hockey, it seems, and this fall has brought to light a new hazard the teams have to face&mdash;fog, no less!Baseball knows its postponements because of rain and cold weather, but not since the days when hockey was played on natural ice surfaces has there been anything like the situation thia autumn. Already two games have been halted because of dense fog clinging inside the rinks, while other games have been repeatedly interrupted as the overworked icemaking systems battled against unseasonable temperatures ranging into the high 70&rsquo;s and 80&rsquo;s.Last Friday in Washington, an American Hockey League game was halted because the fog clinging to the ice surface made it impossible to continue. And on Saturday the same thing befell Springfield Indians and Philadelphia Rockets, who met in another A.H.L. fixture at Springfield. Both games will have to be replayed.<h2>PLAY HALTED OFTEN</h2>In the National Hockey League the game at Montreal Saturday night was halted several times as player and officials were forced to wait until the fog banks lifted. The &ldquo;Scotch mist&rdquo; was so thick at other times that the players were waving their arms and sticks virtually cutting their way through it!Toronto saw the same phenomenon Saturday when Detroit Red Wings came to Maple Leaf Gardens. It was raining outside and the temperature inside the rink hovered in the 70&rsquo;s as the fog thickened minute by minute. Despite the hazard, Leafs and Detroit battled to a 2-2 draw.Chicago and Canadiens finished their game on the sticky, watery ice at Montreal, with last year&rsquo;s league champions finally winning 4-2 by dint of their greater ability as &ldquo;mudders&rdquo;.<h2>VENTILATION BLAMED</h2>The track was slow at other rinks around the professional circuits, but only the games at Washington and Springfield were cancelled.Refrigeration experts blamed the dense fog on poor ventilation systems in the rinks concerned. With warm and unseasonable weather such as has been experienced throughout the eastern United States and Canada the past week or so, the fans and ventilation systems are unable to carry away the steam and heat generated by the thousands of people crowded in the arenas.When this steam drifts over the ice surface it immediately condenses into fog, which grows progressively worse as the game wears on. &lsquo;they explained that stepping up the capacity of the ice making machinery only makes things worse, since the colder the ice the denser the fog becomes.Maurice Podoloff, president of the hard-hit A.H.L., said over the weekend that halting a game because of fog over the ice was unique in league history. There have been times when games were delayed while the fog cleared, but for matters to become so bad the game couldn&rsquo;t be played was &ldquo;one for the book.&rdquo; &#9632;

A.H.L. Hard Hit, Blame Weather Bad Ventilation

<div class="image-hero"><img title="f0002-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-011627/8391041-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">MIKE KARAKAS</figcaption></div>The National Hockey League has taken on quite an international air without anyone thinking much about it. A quick glance at the roster lists shows that no less than seven countries are represented, either with players active in the N.H.L., or on the lists of puckchasers held in reserve and slated to move Into the big time if they show the proper ability.The countries listed on scanning the lineups of the six teams are Canada, the United States, Wales, Scotland, Finland, Hungary and Ireland.It&rsquo;s only natural that Canada&mdash;the home of hockey&mdash;should lead the parade with a total of 228 players listed as Canadian-born. The United States, where hockey Is sweeping farther afield into new territory all the time; now has six players on various clubs who list as their birthplace cities south of the border.<h2>Five From Britain</h2>Wales and Scotland each have produced two players, while the three other nations have contributed one player each.Listed as born In Great Britain are Jim Conacher of Detroit Red Wings and Adam Brown of Chicago Black Hawks, both from Scotland, while rookie Cy Thomas of Hawks was born in Dowlais, Wales, and Bill Evans comes from Morriston In South Wales. Evans Is on New York Rangers negotiation list. Jimmy McFadden, who played with Buffalo last season and is on Detroit&rsquo;s list, was born In Dublin, Ireland.Massachusetts leads the individual States in the production of hockey players, with three native sons to its credit. Danvers, Mass., was the birthplace of Bill Moe, Rangers&rsquo; husky defeenceman, West Springfield lays claim to George Balestri, an amateur defenceman on Chicago&rsquo;s roster, while Gardiner is the home town of Denys Casavant of Montreal Royals amateurs, who is on Montreal Canadians negociation list.<h2>Minesota Men</h2>Eveleth, Minnesota, out west where the winter winds howl and the ponds and creeks freeze early has two players In the N.H.L.&mdash;They are Boston goaltender Frankie Brlmsek and Chicago defenceman Johnny Mariucci.Braeburn, Pennsylvania, rounds out the U.S.-born list with Pete Babando, Boston Bruins promising looking new rookie.Other players from foreign countries are Pentti Lund of Finland and Joe Schertzel of Hungary. Lund, an amateur, is a prospect for Bruins, while Schertzl also is on the Boston roster list and may get his chance in another year or so.In a breakdown of birth places among the Canadian born puckchasers, the Province of Ontario leads all others by a large majority. Eighty-three players are reregistered on the list while Saskatchewan boasts of 53.Manitoba has 10 less than her neighbouring prairie province while Alberta has produced 17 players.The Province of Quebec, though larger in area than any other province, has but 27 native sons on the list. Nova Scotia has three big - time performers while New Brunswick and British Columbia have one apiece.There are no representatives from Prince Edward Island.Larry Silvestri, up-and-coming rightwinger with Hawks&rsquo; farm club at Kansas City in the United States Hockey League, was born at Chisholm, Minnesota.<h2>American Product &#9632;</h2>

International Flavor For N.H.L.; Has Players From Seven Countries

MINNESOTA&mdash;Of the six United States-born players listed on the rosters of the half-dozen National Hockey League clubs, two are from Eveleth, Minnesota, which boasts of being the hub and focus of hockey below the Internationtal border.Boston&rsquo;s Frank Brimsek and Chicago&rsquo;s newly-named captain Johnny Mariucci both come from Eveleth In the icy state which has a climate more nearly resembling Canada&rsquo;s and which produced more players than any other state.Eveleth is a town of about 7,000 plunk in the middle of Minnesota&rsquo;s iron ore range, and Mariucci claims that as much hockey is played there as in any Canadian centre.The first rink was built nearly 20 years ago, and the game caught on with the youngsters and oldsters and all those in between In no time at all.Mike Karakas, ex-Chicago police and now reserve netminder for all Boston Bruins teams, was born at Aurora, Minnesota, not very far from Eveleth. He played hockey in school at the same time as Brimsek and Mariucci, and the townspeople practically split down the middle deciding whom to root for.Brimsek and Karakas brought Eveleth plenty of glory&mdash;Brimsek as a two-time Vezina Trophy winner and Karakas with his winning of the Calder Trophy for rookies in 1935-86, his first (year with Hawks, and by his play since.Chicago&rsquo;s Hawks have a soft spot in their heart for Minnesota boys, it seems, and if any more of major-league calibre come out of the ore fields they&rsquo;ll probably get a chance with the Tobin men.Virgil Johnson a Minneapolis boy.Besides Karakas and Mariucci, played for Hawks in 1943-44 and part of the next reason, later moving down to Cleveland and Minneapolis.<h2>One In 111</h2>For every 111 people in the town of Delisle Sask, there is one professional hockey player for the last official population of this community was 333 people, and the village has given three players to the National Hockey League.The Benbley brothers, Doug and Max, have been well established stars in the N.H.L. for years, and this season a newcomer has been added to the line. He is Dick Butler and he&rsquo;s from that same little spot on the map&mdash;Delisle.Using the radio of III to I, the City of Montreal, Canada&rsquo;s largest city, should have roughly 15,000 representatives in the pro hockey circuit, which is Impossible. &#9632;

Minnesota’s Native Sons Make Mark In Puck World

<div class="byline">By WILLIAM McNULTY</div>SAINT, JOHN, N.B.&mdash;When one of his minor league hockey huskies reported to Eddie Shore that he wanted to be excused from playing that night because of a sore finger, the Muggsy McGraw of the chemical freeze bellowed, &ldquo;I played in the big stuff with a broken leg.&rdquo;Could be that the belligerent baldie was lubricating the works. But, he did finish a game after a leg bone was cracked in the second stanza. Also, like a shoemaker he stuck to the last, after the Slaying &ldquo;S&rdquo; line of Nels&rsquo; Stewart, Hooley Smith and the late Babe Seibert, of the old Montreal Maroons batted him for seven front teeth, a broken collarbone, a fractured foot, several displaced ribs. Then, after a patching job, he came back to the ice more potent than ever.<h2>This Ref Can See!</h2>Sport fans like to yell at the umpires or referees and tell them they&rsquo;re blind when a decision displeases a club&rsquo;s supporters. But Bill Chadwick, referee in the National Hockey League, can spike any reports that he&rsquo;s &ldquo;blind in one eye and can&rsquo;t see out of the other.&rdquo;Bill had his eyesight tested recently and the medicos found he had good enough vision to land him in the army&mdash;and that takes a pretty good pair of peepers.Chadwick has a blind spot in one eye, but vision in the other is better than normal.<h3>Wouldn&rsquo;t Quit</h3>You can Ripleyize it or not, but there are a number of instances in which hockeymen refused to let severe disabilities bench them for keeps.One - eyed Tommy Burlington has been one of the most effective forwards in the minors for the past decade. For many years, he was with the Cleveland Barons, and it was nothing new for him to be among the top 10 point getters at the close of the American Hockey League season. From Cleveland, he transferred to the Providence Red&rsquo;s. There is little doubt that but for the 50 percent vision, Burlington would have had a long and successful life in the National Hockey League.<h3>Only One Eye</h3>Jo-jo Grabowski, another oneeyed veteran frontliner, has been with Candian, English and U. S. teams, and always has been the life of the party. At a number of spots he has been playing coach. The Chicago Black Hawks tried him out and offered to keep him, but he decided&rsquo; having just the single eye created too much hazard for him up where the boys really get tough. He preferred the shamateurs for longevity. For many years outfits in that category in Canada, U.S. and England, piled up on the Grabowski threshold seeking his services. He had plenty of B.O. and we mean box office.<h3>Made Comeback</h3>Eddie Brown went through considerable warring while with the Canadian froces in Europe, and came out all in one piece. Soon after returning from overseas, he lost an eye while playing with St. Louis Flyers. A stick blade was responsible, and it was accidental. Brown had proved to be one of the most capable defencemen in minor league puckdom, and had been booked for the top bracket. Losing the eye meant the red light for this promotion, but Brown made a comeback on the back barrier in Quebec, and it looks like he&rsquo;ll keep going.Bobby Beaton lost the sight of one eye while working in the soft coal mines of his native Pictou County, N.S., which has not deterred him from playing hockey In Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and England. He has been with some of the leading combinations in the Maritimes, as a player and in later years as a playing coach. Beaton is a forward who isn&rsquo;t backward about tangling with an opponent, and like a kid in a pantry, has been in many a jam. He&rsquo;s been a light - heavyweight biffman, and referees many fistic festivals in Pictou County each year. He has also played softball.<h3>Crack Shot</h3>Bill O&rsquo;Neill goaled for his home town St. Andrews, N.B., Senators, for 15 seasons, although he has been without the sight of one eye almost since infancy. He has also been a baseball catcher, and a crack shot with a rifle.Frank Graham, who has been on two Allan Cup winners, had one eye affected when hit by a puck. He&rsquo;s one of the many Ottawa hockey grads.Leon Styles of Amherst, N.S., came out of a highway mishap with one leg and one arm. Yet he returned to amateur hockey in Cumberland County, N.S., as a puck carrier, after getting adjusted to an artificial leg, and to handling a stick with one hand, and the butt of the other arm.<h3>Vezina Was III</h3>The late Georges Vezina was tubercular from boyhood and yet he went through 18 big league hockey seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, finally collapsing in the net he guarded so efficiently and so long. Some hockey sharps contend Vezina must be rated as the best of all goalies.Charlie Conacher lost a kidney as a seouel to a board crash while forwarding pucks for the Toronto Leafs. He was then a member of one of the most effective lines in hockey history, his mates being Busher Jackson and Joe Primeau. Conacher wasn&rsquo;t as good after the kidney separation as before, but he held his own.<h3>Cleghorn Tough</h3>Sprague Cleghorn, one of the twice, at the same location, and nals, had the same leg broken twice, at the same location, and thus booked for the discard. However, he came out of it, with & bang like a bobby soxer&rsquo;s coiffure, and starred with the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins.Jimmy Ward&rsquo;s head was bashed in while he was a Montreal Maroons attacker. This didn&rsquo;t finalize his playing career. He came back as a player in the playing coach in the minors and in recent years as a bench chief. &#9632;

MANY PLAYERS REACH STARDOM IN SPITE OF SERIOUS INJURIES

There have been many changes In the ranks of the coaches In hockey&rsquo;s professional leagues this season, with Tommy Ivan taking over Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League, six new masterminds in the American Hockey League, four in the United States Hockey League and six changes in the Pacific Coast League.For ready reference, here is how the coaches of the various teams line up.

Gold Pucks For The Stars

<div class="byline">By DAVE FARRELL</div>BOSTON&mdash;When the Boston Bruins traded Roy Conacher to the Detroit Red Wings for Joe Carveth, many Boston fans questioned the merits of the deal. As Bill Cowley&rsquo;s left wing, Conacher, who possesses one of the finest shots in the National Hockey League, was a great favorite with Boston fans before he entered the Canadian Air Force. So when the Bruins announced this trade a year ago last summer, there was bound to be considerable dissatisfaction. And when Conacher proceeded to make good as Billy Taylor&rsquo;s left wing last season, the familiar cry of &ldquo;I told you so,&rdquo; was heard around Boston.However, throughout the N.H.L., Carveth is rated as a better all-around player than Conacher. Several of the Montreal Canadiens were amazed when they learned that Jack Adams was persuaded to part with the classy Carveth. His finesse, speed and deception make him one of the most graceful players in the entire league.<h2>Real Player</h2>Very gentlemanly and businesslike on the ice, he is always giving his best. He is a hockey player&rsquo;s hockey player.Although he scored only 21 goals and 15 assists last season, Carveth actually had a better year than this record indicates. During the first half of the season he was shifted continually on the second and third Boston lines without much success. He played on lines with Cowley and Guidolin, with Grosso and Smith, and with McGill and Gallinger.Moved around so much, Joe found it hard to get going. Early in February he injured his knee and missed nine games. When he returned to action, he played on a line centered by Schmidt, with Gallinger at left wing. This combination clicked immediately and paced a late-season Bruins&rsquo; drive Into third place and the Stanley Cup playoffs.<h2>Favorite With Fans</h2>Carveth&rsquo;s remarkable work in the playoffs established him as a favorite with the Boston hockey followers. Throughout the season the majority of the fans seemed to be cool towards him. But after his great showing against the Canadiens, the fans were all for him. No one will forget his brilliant play in that fourth playoff game at Boston when he led several Bruin rushes in a vain attempt to halt the Canadiens surge.Fully recovered from an appendix operation last June, the 29-year-old Carveth should have his greatest year in the National Hockey League. With the versatile Milt Schmidt centring him, he will probably top his season&rsquo;s high of 56 points for 1943-44. On his shoulders rests much of the Bruins&rsquo; hope for a championship. &#9632;

Classy Joe Carveth Favorite With Fans

WINNIPEG&mdash;The phone rang in Bill Mosienko&rsquo;s home here, and his cousin picked up the receiver. Before Bill had a chance to say anything, the voice at the Winnipeg end thrilled: &ldquo;Oh Bill, I&rsquo;ve got good news for you&mdash;your wife went to hospital and you have a sevenpound baby boy.&rdquo;&ldquo;Well, that&rsquo;s great,&rdquo; said Bill at the other end of the line but I called to tell you I&rsquo;m in a hospital myself, in Toronto, with a broken ankle.&rdquo;Mosienko, star Chicago Black Hawks rightwinger, broke his ankle in the All-Star Game at Toronto last week, and will be lost to the Gottselig crew for at least two months. &#9632;

Good News For Bad

DETROIT&mdash;Observers of the National Hockey League scene are still discussing the man-for-man trade by Jack Adams and Art Ross&rsquo; that sent Billy &ldquo;The Kid&rdquo; Taylor to the Bruins for Armand &ldquo;Bep&rdquo; Guidolin.The deal marked the second major trade in the National League so far this season. Before the play, ers even donned their blades the Montreal Canadiens sent Buddy O&rsquo;Connor and Frankie Eddolls to New York for Hal Laycoe, Joe Bell and George Robertson.Although the season is but a week old it seems at the moment as if the Bruins came out on top in the transaction. The experienced Taylor is an almost sure bet to land a regular position with Boston while Jack Adams stated after the trade was completed last week that he will use Guidolin as a reserve left-winger.<h2>Twice in Two Years</h2>Taylor, the blond pivotman from Oshawa who finished third in the National League scoring race last year will play for his third new club in as many years. Billy took part in all the Detroit games last year, registering a total of 17 goals and 46 assists for a 63-point total to trail Max Bentley and Maurice Richard.<h2>Billy Taylor</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-021553/8391275-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="594" height="1047"></div>The 28-year-old smoothie moved into the Boston camp in a straight player deal that shifts the bruising Guidolin to the Motor City. Guidolin, who is seven years younger than Taylor, has played four seasons with the Bruins. Breaking in during 1942-43, he has a record of 49 goals and 70 assists.Taylor took part in every, one of the Red Wings&rsquo; 60 games last season, and his 46 assists was the highest number recorded by any player in the N.H.L. He played very well in the playoffs between Detroit and Toronto and scored one goal and assisted in five others for a total of six points in five playoff games.<h2>Guidolin Only 21</h2>It was before the start of last year&rsquo;s campaign that the Toronto Maple Leafs gave Taylor his &ldquo;walking ticket.&rdquo; In a deal with the Red Wings, Harry Wats&rsquo;on donned the Leaf garbo. At that time Adams stated that he was glad to obtain the services of an experienced player. But despite Taylor&rsquo;s better-than-average performance last year, Jolly Jawn undoubtedly rates the robust-checking native of Thorold, Ontario, as a better longterm prospect Guidolin, six years younger than Taylor, will be 22 on December 9.Guidolin, who stands five feet, eight inches and tips&rsquo; the scales at 175, had his best season with the Bruins in 1943-44 when he racked up a total of 42 points on 17 goals and 25 assists&rsquo;. The war interrupted his hockey career the following year when he enlisted in the Canadian Army, but he was back the next year to team-up with Don Gallinger and Bill Shill on the Bruins&rsquo; &ldquo;Sprout Line&rdquo;.<h2>Penalties Top Points</h2>The only highlight of his play last year was the 72 minutes picking up splinters in the penalty box. He managed to sink but 10 goals while being credited with 13 assists which in itself may possibly have turned Art Boss sour on the young winger.Taylor, like Guidolin, is a graduate of the famous Oshawa Generals&mdash;three-time winners of the Memorial Cup. Taylor was launched on his professional career with the Pittsburgh Hornets in 1939-40 only to jump to the parent Maple Leafs after 17 games with the American Hockey League culb. In his first full season in Toronto, 1941-42, Billy ended the term with 38 points and the next season saw him leap to greater heights with 60 points.It might be mentioned that both Taylor and Guidolin are former stars with Oshawa Generals Juniors. Taylor led the Generals to the Memorial Cup, emblematic of Canadian junior supremacy, in the spring of 1938 in a decisive victory over the powerladen Edmonton team. This was the series in Toronto when &ldquo;Billy the Kid&rdquo; went on a scoring spree and Edmonton had to place Elmer Kreller, their ace centre to shadow him.Guidolin played defence on the Generals of 1941-42 when that club captured the Eastern Canadian crown but was soundly trounced by that great hand of juniors from Portage la Prairie, the Terriers. The series was played in Winnipeg, and the Terriers won three games to the Generals one. &#9632;

How They Swapped

OTTAWA&mdash;The long-debated and hotly-argued question of Canada&rsquo;s representation in the Olympic hockey contests in Switzerland this winter was finally settled by officials of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association when they decided to send a team selected from players in the R.C.A.F.With the Allan-Cup winning Montreal Royals, and most of the top senior and junior teams in the country, barred because of the rigid adherence to the Olympic code of amateurism, the R.C.A.F. measure was adopted so Canada at least would be represented, although how strongly is another question.The Olympic rules define an amateur as one who plays sports for the physical and moral benefits appertaining for his services. On the other hand, the C.A.H.A. and most hockey officials in Canada accept a man as an amateur if he is not signed to a professional contract. Any bonuses or salaries he gets for playing with an &ldquo;amateur&rdquo; team are overlooked.The announcement that an R.C. A.F. team would be sent over was made In Regina last week by Al Pickard, C.A.H.A. president. The ruling amateur body in the Dominion had been given a free hand by the Olympic Committee of Canada to pick a team, providing all its members qualified as Olympic amateurs.<h2>C.A.H.A. Disapproves</h2>But at the same time Mr. Pickard revealed that the C.A.H.A. strongly disapproved of the International Olympic Committee&rsquo;s definition of amateurism and would press for a more liberal code in future.The Air Force team wil be selected from squads across Canada, with the pick of the puckchasers making their headquarters at Ottawa, training there and at Camp Borden, Ont.Most R.C.A.F. stations across Canada sponsor hockey teams during the winter months, and during the war years the service entries had on their rosters some of the best amateur and professional players in the game.The R.C.A.-K. Fliers from Ottawa captured the Allan Cup and the Canadian senior championship in the 1941-42 season, and an R.C.A.F. six based in England later made a successful tour of the European continent.<h2>Coach Not Named</h2>Coach of the team has not been named yet, but there is speculation that young Frank Boucher will get the nod. The son of George Boucher an old-time hockey player, and nephew of Coach Frank Boucher of New York Rangers, the proposed coach is a corporal in the R.C.A.F. at present. Boucher would be unable to play for the Olympic sextet since he once played briefly in professional ranks.His status as a coach also may be open to question because of the professional &ldquo;tint&rdquo; on his record but a final decision has not yet been reached on the matter, nor on personnel of the Olympic team.The tentative plan Is for the R.C. A.F. Olympic team to play in an Ottawa district league, and possibly make an exhibition tour of Canada before sailing for Switzerland where the Winter Games will be held in January and February. &#9632;

Canucks For Olympics; R.C.A.F. Team Gets Nod

CHICAGO&mdash;&ldquo;It was just one of those things that may never happen again,&rdquo; said President Bill Tobin of the Chicago Black Hawks last week, commenting upon Bill Mosienko&rsquo;s fractured ankle.&ldquo;We expect him to be out of the lineup for at least si or eight weeks,&rdquo; continued Tobin. &ldquo;It came as a serious blow to us for we were banking on Willie to help us this year. Of courses it could just as well have happened in practice.&rdquo;Mosienko is shelved for a good part of the season&mdash;probably until January&mdash;as the result of his injury received in last week&rsquo;s All Star game in Maple Leaf Gardens. At the time he was attempting to make his way between the boards and Leaf defenceman Jim Thomson when the latter issued a routine check and &ldquo;Wee Willie went down with a twisted ankle. It was later revealed to be a fracture.Mosienko was to have played right wing on the line with Alex Kaleta and George Gee. He was taken off the Pony line to make way for Dick Butler and thus assuring the Hawks of an all Delisle line with the Bentley brothers and Butler.Hank Blade already has been called up from Kansas City as the hard-pressed Hawks tried to bolster their lineup.<h2>Ninth In League</h2>Last season with the Windy City squad, Mosienko finished ninth among the league&rsquo;s scorers. He played all but one game and collected 25 goals and 27 assists. He had the cleanest record of any player over the regular season, spending only two minutes in the penalty box in 59 games. &#9632;

That year he did not receive one penalty,Previous to this, in 1943-44, he racked up 70 points over the regular season with 32 goals and 38 assists. This is his seventh season with the Hawks having started his bigtime career in 1941-42 graduating from last year&rsquo;s U.S.H.L. champions Kansas City Pla-Mors.If the Hawks are in dire need of a good right-winger to fill the gap left vacant by Mosienko, they could call on their Kansas City farm team where at least two rightwingers might fill the bill.Lawrence Silvestri and Johnny Harms seem suited for the position. Silvestri finished last season in eleventh position with 32 goals and 24 assists for 56 points while Harms was 14th with 23 goals and 32 assists for 55 points&rsquo;. One is a producer while the other is a smooth play-maker. &#9632;

TORONTO&mdash;The door is still open&mdash;until next June&mdash;for the revival of the old Montreal Maroons National Hockey League franchise, idle since the end of the 1937-38 season when Montreal&rsquo;s big red team dropped out after 13 years of operation.The franchise is now held by Len Peto of Montreal, who plans to operate Maroons in Philadelphia if he is able to obtain rink accommodations and players.At a meeting of the N.H.L. Governors in Toronto at the time of the All-Star game, it was revealed that Mr. Peto has until June, 1948, to prepare for entry into the league in the 1948-49 season. The action was taken when the Governors affirmed a perpetual agreement for the N.H.L., replacing an old operating agreement first reached in 1926 for a 15year period and renewed from year to year since 1941.<h2>Talent Hunt</h2>Herb Gardiner, defenceman with the old Montreal Canadlens, toured the Canadian West a few weeks ago in search of coming talent for the proposed Philadelphia entry, if and when it enters the league.Due to the scarcity of building materials to erect a new rink, and because of the opposition from Philadelphia Rockets which hold a franchise in the American Hockey League, early entry of Philadelphia Maroons seems problematical. &#9632;

Deadline Set To Place Club In Quaker City

BOSTON&mdash;Hockey dies hard with husky little Bobby Bauer, the high-scoring right wing section of the Kraut Line which helped bring Boston Bruins to a pair of Stanley Cup wins and a place among the greatest teams of all time from a point of view of consistent winning feats.Bauer, who announced before the season started that he would hang up his skates for good, now is toying with the idea of coming back to the hockey wars on a part-time basis.He turned out with the National Hockey League All-Stars for. the First Annual All-Star game at Toronto last week, and the return to the glittering ice of Maple Leaf Gardens stirred a longing to return to the hockey warfare.<h2>Wants To Get Back</h2>Bobby, Who has been helping his father-in-law with his skatemanufacturing business at Kitchener, Ont., and coaching the junior hockey team at nearby Guelph, isn&rsquo;t in the best of condition, but he would still like to be back with his old Boston mates.He doesn&rsquo;t want to play fulltime, making the lengthy jaunts around the circuit, but he would be willing to play with Bruins in their games at Montreal, Toronto and Detroit.But that presents difficulties, since it would mean constant juggling of the forward lines and shifting of the lineup by Coach Dit Clapper of the clawing bear cubs. For that reason, Owner Weston Adams and Manager Art Ross are none too anxious to have Bobby on that basis, although there is little doubt they wouldn&rsquo;t object too strenuously if he decided to play every game.Bauer has another reason for wanting to get back to the ice warfare. Another season would make him a full-fledged 10-year man in the N.H.L.&mdash;he broke in with Bruins to stay in the 19373 8 season&mdash;and consequently eligible for increased payments under the league&rsquo;s new player pension plan. &#9632;

TULSA, OKLA&mdash;Clint Smith, newly appointed playing-coach of the Tulsa Oilers, put in his first appearance at a professional hockey camp when he reported to Manager-Coach Lester Patrick at the New York Rangers training camp at Lake Placid, NY., in the fall of &lsquo;32. At the time Clint had not yet reached his nineteenth, birthday, and although he displayed a world of skill his lack of weight was against him and Patrick &ldquo;passed&rsquo; him on.Clint played that season with the Saskatoon, Sask., team of the Western Canada League (then a pro circuit) and the following season was sold to the Vancouver Lions of the Northwestern Hockey League. He led the circuit in goals his first season and came back the next two campaigns to lead the loop in total points with 44 in &lsquo;34-35 and 53 in &lsquo;35-36.<h2>Clicks with Rangers</h2>His magnificent play for the Vancouver team, which was piloted by Guy Patrick, a brother of Lester caught the Silver Fox&rsquo;s eye and he purchased him for the Rangers, Clint was sent to the Ranger farm team, the Philadelphia Ramblers of the International American Hockey League, for further seasoning and had a brilliant season in the Quaker City winding up with 54 points. Before the &lsquo;36-37 campaign was over he was taken up to the Rangers for a trial and set up a beautiful goal to earn himself an assist in his first appearance in the National Hockey League.<h2>Ace Forechecker</h2>There isn&rsquo;t a better forechecker in any league than playing-coach Clint Smith of the Tulsa Oilers. For the past 10 years while starring for N.Y. Rangers and Chicago Black Hawks, Smith worried opposing teams by the way he went into their end and took the puck away to set up scoring plays.The next season he became a regular centre with the Rangers and for the next seven campaigns was a star with that club. In his first full season with the Rangers he accounted for 37 points and upped this to 41 the following year. He never had a poor reason while playing for the New Yorkers, or for Chicago where he later campaigned.One of the cleanest players in hockey history Clint has on four different occasions gone through an entire season without a single penalty. This does not mean that he is a timid player. On the contrary, Smith battles for the puck every moment he is on the ice and it is a-real pleasure to watch him go in back of the opposing team&rsquo;s net to battle for possession of rubber. Nine times out of 10 he comes up with it and whips a pass out to a waiting wing. His clean play was recognized officially in 1938-39 when he was awarded the Lady Byng Trophy, annual award to the N.H.L.&rsquo;s &ldquo;most gentlemanly player.<h2>Clean Player</h2>Smith was sold to the Chicago Black Hawks before the start of the &lsquo;43-44 season and promptly won the Lady Byng Trophy again and also led the league in assists by garnering 49. He also rapped in 23 finished fifth in the league. Clint goals to give him 72 points and teamed up with Doug Bentley and Bill Mosienko and this trio set a world&rsquo;s record for forward combinations by bagging a total of 93 goals and 126 assists for 219 points during the regular season.Last winter with Chicago, the smooth centre ice playmaker scored nine goals and assisted on 17 more to help the cellar dwelling Hawke Smith was born in Assiniboia, Sask., December 12, 1913, stands 5&rsquo;7&frac12;&rdquo;, weighs 165 pounds, plays centre and is a left hand shot. He is married, the father of a little girl and makes his home in the summer months in Vancouver, B.C. where he is co-owner of a store specializing in infants and children&rsquo;s wear. &#9632;

New Haven Ramblers and New York Rovers, also is president of the Eastern Amateur Hockey League and the Amateur Hockey Association of the United States.</figcaption></div>NEW YORK&mdash;When the 1946-47 campaign closed, the average hockey executive retired to the quiet of his home, farm, beach house, or what-have-you. He needed some quiet, some rest, a period of time in which to get away from it all, to regain some of the energy spent during a busy season.None of this applies to Tom Lockhart. The man who is (a) business manager of the New York Rangers, (b) business manager of the New Haven Ramblers, (c) manager of the New York Rovers, (d) president of the Eastern Amateur Hockey League, and (e) president of the Amateur Hockey Association of the United States, He occupied his summer as follows:Spent every morning, afternoon and many evenings&rsquo; at his desk in Madison Square Garden, EXCEPT when he absented himself from Gotham for:Nine trips to New Haven, Conn., on matters pertaining to the Ranger-owned Ramblers.Seven trips to Boston for the United States amateur playoffs between the Boston Olympics and the Los Angeles Monarch returning to New York after each game to tend to other problems.One trip to Duluth, Minn., for an A.H.A. meeting.One trip to. Great Falls, Mont., in the interests of development of a program of amateur hockey for Unites States&mdash;born boys.Two trips to Toronto, on business pertaining to two or more the many responsibilities he handles.Four trips to Montreal on N.H.L. affairs.The first U-S.-born, U.S.-raised person to hold an executive position, other than president or vicepresident, with an N.H.L. club, Thomas F. Lockhart undoubtedly in also the busiest man ever to hold any position or positions with any hockey club, regardless of place of birth.How he manages to perform his varied chores remains a mystery, even to his family. He is possessed of limitless energy and he is one of those fortunates who loves his work. That combination of circumstances is a tough parlay to beat.Tom grew up on New York&rsquo;s East Side&mdash;has never lived below 47th Street or above 55th Street, nor west of Lexington Avenue&mdash;and was an outstanding athlete. Though he never played hockey (he claims to have played shinny in Central Park) he was a track man and a bike rider and he excelled in both endeavors.When his days&rsquo; as a participant neared their end, he became Interested in the executive end of sports. As a member of the manag. ing board of the Amateur Athlectic Union&rsquo;s Metropolitan Association he was in charge of amateur boxing for the arena. It was When he was staging simon-pure bouts at the Garden that General John Reed Kilpatrick, president of the famed Eighth Avenue Arena suggested that he join the Garden staff and run amateur hockey there.&ldquo;Uncle Tom&rdquo; took over the Crescents, later renamed the Rovers, and went to town with a lineup that sparkled with such names as Shibicky, N. Colville, Mac Colville, Cooper, Muzz Patrick, et al. He fostered the Metropolitan Amateur Hockey League, now entering its 16th year, which is composed of teams made up only of local kids anxious to learn and play hockey.<h2>Seven In Row</h2>DETROIT&mdash;Detroit Red Wings racked up their seventh straight opening game without a loss in Olympia Stadium here October 15 as they downed Chicago Black Hawks 4-2. Wings haven&rsquo;t felt the pinch of defeat in an inaugural contest on home ice since November 2, 1939, when the same Hawks tripped them up.<h2>He Doesn&rsquo;t Sleep Much</h2>Lockhart&rsquo;s greatest desire is to turn up some day with a New York boy who can move up the ladder from the Mets to the Rovers to the Ramblers and, finally, to the Rangers.Through the vehicle of the A.H.A., Lockhart has probably done more than any other individual to promote interest in the game among United States. youngsters.His efforts in New York are already bearing fruit. This was reflected last season with the em gence of the New York Metropolitans, a team composed of graduates of the Met League. Local boys, whose talents are greater than the usual run of Met Leaguers compose the &ldquo;Met,&rdquo; who played eleven games last season.Similarly, he has encouraged a program of this sort in New Haven and other cities. Before many more campagins slip by, Lockhart expects to have an all United States-manned league operating with teams in New York, New Haven, Boston and possibly Springfield and other cities.An ambitious outlook, it&rsquo;s true&mdash;but those who know Lockhart also know that he generally accomplishes the unexpected and performs&rsquo; the unconventional.<h2>Who Will Be Top Rookie?</h2>There are 18 rookies hopefuls taking their first step in the National Hockey League this winter. One of them&mdash;or perhaps a youngster brought up out of obscurity in the next few weeks&mdash;will be honored next spring by the award of the Calder Memorial Trophy, presented annually to the newcomer making the best showing under hockey&rsquo;s big top.The Trophy, originally the idea of the late Frank Calder, the league&rsquo;s first president is awarded annually as a memorial to that founder of hockey&rsquo;s premier league.Here are the winners in previous years:&mdash;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-021371/8391557-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg" title="f0005-02" width="993" height="402"></div><h2>Coaches Juniors</h2>Calgary, ALTA.&mdash;Lorne Carr, former National Hockey League star with New York Americans&rsquo; and Toronto Maple &lsquo;Leafs of the National Hockey League, has been named to coach the Calgary Buffaloes in the Southern Alberta Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; Hockey League. &#9632;

Tom Lockart, Handling Five Jobs, Likely Busiest Man In Puck World

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div>MONTREAL&mdash;There are 18 players entering the National Hockey League this season for the first time in their youthful careers, and one who has played two games in hockey&rsquo;s big tent.Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins top the rookie rosters with five freshmen each. Chicago Black Hawks have four N.H.L. newcomers on their squad; Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers have two rookies apiece, and Toronto Maple Leafs have one fresh face on their crew.Canadiens&rsquo; five rookies are all graduates of last season&rsquo;s Allan Cup Champion Montreal Royals. This is believed to be a record for the number of players to come up from one amateur team to sign with the same N.H.L. club. The new Canadiens are:Doug Harvey, a defenceman, born in Montreal December 15, 1924. Stands 5&rsquo; 10&frac12; in height, weights 182 pounds, and shoots from either the left or right side. He was a standout on Royals defence last season.Tod Campeau, a centre, weights 175 pounds and stands 5&rsquo; 11&rdquo; He played two games for Canadiens near the end or the 1943-44 season. He was born at St. Jerome, Quebec, and has been on Canadiens Reserve List for some time.Howard &ldquo;Rip&rdquo; Riopelle, a leftwinger, was born in Ottawa on January 30, 1922. He stands 5&rsquo; 165 pounds. A former R.C.A.F. officer, &ldquo;Rip&rdquo; is a speedy skater 11&rdquo; and tips the scales at a trim and an excellent backchecker.<h2>Top Amateur</h2>Floyd &ldquo;Busher&rdquo; Curry, a leftwinger, was regarded by many as the oustanding amateur hockey player in Canada last season. Standing 5&rsquo; 10&rdquo; and weighing 165 pounds, Curry has been a top pro prospect, ever since he starred in junior competition with Oshawa Generals. A member of the Royals for the past two years, Curry has a great burst of speed and really knows how to cut in on goal. He has been a top scorer throughout his hockey career.Jacques Locas, a fiery French-Canadian who plays right wing, was born on February 12, 1926, at Pointe aux Trembles, Quebec. He stands 5&rsquo; 11&rdquo; in height and weights in at 175 pounds. He had a great season with Royals last year in the team&rsquo;s drive to the Canadian senior title. He is a strong, speedy skater, and many predict a bright future ahead for him in monied ranks.<h2>New Bruins</h2>The five Boston Bruins players who are making their debut in the N.H.L. this season are:Ed Sanford, a centre, was just about the most talked about player in junior hockey last year. Only 19 years old, he weighs a 180 pounds and is an even six feet tall. Sanford played a prominent role in the triumph of Toronto aggregation that captured the Memorial Cup. He is fresh from junior ranks and has not played a single game of senior or minor professional hockey.Eddie Harrison, a 20-year-old left-winger, who is a cousin of Sanford&rsquo;s, was also his teammate on the Championship Toronto St. Mike&rsquo;s last year. Eddie stands 5&rsquo; 11&rdquo; and weighs 170 pounds.<h2>Nova Scotian Up</h2>Wally Wilson, a right-winger, who has campaigned in the American League for three seasons, was born at Berwick, Nova Scotia, on May 25, 1921. He is 5&rsquo; 10&rdquo; tall and weighs 170 pounds. He played for Hershey during the 194142 season but spent the next three years in the Canadian Armed Forces. Wally played the last two seasons with Pittsburgh Hornets and was a prolific scorer both years. Last season he scored 21 goals and had 30 assists for a total of 51 points.Pete Babando, a 22-year-old right wingman, played for Hershey Bears last season where he scored 19 goals and assisted in 26 others for a point total of 45. He is a husky 190-pounder and stands 5&rsquo; 9&rdquo; in height. He played for Boston Olympics in the Eastern United States Amateur League before going up to Hershey last season.Paul Ronty, a six-foot, 160-pound centre, played with Hershey in the A.H.L. last season. Paul is only 18 years old and great things are expected of him from the Bruins. He scored 19 goals and had 40 assists for a total of 59 points last season with Hershey which placed him well up among the loop&rsquo;s top scorers.<h2>Hawks Try Four</h2>Three of the four Chicago Black Hawks rookies came straight from amateur competition while one played in the United States League last season. The four are:Dick Butler, the 5&rsquo; 7&rdquo;, 150-pound winger, is currently playing right wing on the line with the famed Bentley brothers, Max and Doug, in place of the injured Billy Mosienko. This makes the trio an all-Delisle line, as Butler was born in Delisle, Saskatchewan, home of the Bentleys, on June 2, 1926. He played with Kansas City Pla-Mors, the U.S.H.L. Champions last season, where he scored 19 goals and had a helping hand in 39 others for a total of 58 scoring points.<h2>Metro The Marvellous</h2>Metro Prystai, a centre, has been highly touted for the past two years as one of the outstanding junior stars in Canada. Metro has been the sparklug of the Moose Jaw Canucks in the Saskatchewan Junior League for the last two seasons. He was born on December 7, 1927. He weighs 155 pounds and is 5&rsquo;8&rdquo; tall.Cy Thomas, a rugged. 170-pound left - winger, played last season with Edmonton Seniors. He stands 5&rsquo; 10&frac12; in height, and is solidly put together. Cy was born in Dowlais, Wales, on Aug. 5. 1926. He now makes his home in Edmonton.Art Michaluk, a defenceman did yeoman work for the Allan Cup finalists, Calgary Stampeders, last season. He was born at Can-more, Alberta, in May 4, 1923, stands an even six feet, and moves the needle on the scales to the 180 mark. Art was a member of the Calgary Stampeders when they won the Allan Cup in 1945-46.<h2>Rangers&rsquo; New Blood</h2>The two Ranger rookies are:Eddie Slowinskl, the heaviest forward in the N.H.L., and a star of the Ottawa Senators senior team for the last couple of years, weights 207 pounds. Big Eddie was a member of the Ottawa Commandos when that power-packed team won the Allan Cup in 194243. He was born in Winnipeg on November 18, 1922, stands six feet in height and shoots the puck in from the right side. He would have turned pro a year ago but preferred to remain with Ottawa.Fred Shero, an ambitious young defenceman, attends the University of Manitoba in the off-season where he is studying for a B. A. degree. Freddie was born in Winnipeg on October 23, 1925, stands 5&rsquo; 10&rdquo; and weighs 175 pounds. An amateur boxer of note, he was Manitoba bantam and flyweight champion in 1940, before he grew up to be such a big boy.<h2>McNab and Kelly</h2>Detroit Red Wings have a pair of promising freshman: Max McNab, a rangy 6&rsquo; 3&rdquo;, 175-pound centre, was born at Watson, Sas-katchewan, on June 21,-192 4. Max shoots left and is a very heady playmaker. In 39 games with Omaha Knights in the U.S.-H.L. last year, Max scored 20 goals and had 19 assists for 39 points.Leonard Patrick &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Kelly is a flaming - haired Irishman who should win his way into the hearts of Detroit rooters this season. &ldquo;Red&rdquo; was a star defenceman with Toronto St. Mike&rsquo;s Memorial Cup team of last season. He is a clever rusher, and sound defensively. Born at Simcoe, Ontario, on July 9, 1927, he weights 180-pounds and is 5&rsquo; 11&frac12; tall.<h2>Leafs Have One</h2>The sole Toronto Maple Leaf rookie this season is: Fleming Mackell who is only 18 years old. Mackell was born in Montreal on April 30. 1929. He stands 5&rsquo; 7 and packs a sturdy 160 pounds. Mackell learned his hockey in Montreal where he was a standout junior. He lined up with the Toronto St. Mike&rsquo;s Memorial Cup winners last year, and was the scoring aensatlon of. the Junior O.H.A. where he won the scoring honors with 49 goals and 33 assists for 82 points, thereby shattering the previous record held by Tod Sloan. A driving type of left - winger, Mackell should fit into the Leafs&rsquo; style of play very well this season. &#9632;

Eighteen Rookies Try For Spots In N.H.L.

Montreal, October 22, 1947. Printed in Canada<h2>WHEN&rsquo;S THE HOCKEY SEASON?</h2>Difficulties encountered this fall by the professional hockey leagues because of unseasonable weather point up anew the question&mdash;just what part of the year is the hockey season? With fog wiping two games from the slate in the American Hockey League and interrupting several others in that league and in the National Hockey League for varying periods of time, the one-time winter sport has virtually run into summer weather.The opening of the season came this fall at about the same time as last year, but the warmer weather encountered gives a foretaste of what must be expected in future years if the season becomes any lengthier, stretching farther back into the autumn and farther ahead into the succeeding spring.This isn&rsquo;t to say that hockey need rest on its present laurels foregoing any expansion but it does mean that better refrigeration and ventilation systems will be needed in future if games played outside the frigid season are n&rsquo;t to be unduly interfered with. Clinging fog, such as filled various arenas the last week, not only interferes with the spectators&rsquo; enjoyment of the game, but also prevents the players from giving their best. Trying to skate and carry a puck on a sticky surface swimming in water, and with the fog so thick that friend can scarcely be distinguished from enemy, isn&rsquo;t conductive to producing the best that such a grand game can offer.Since the ventilation systems, rather than the icemaking plants, have been blamed, the answer would seem to be in the installation of more modern equipment in arenas where it is outdated and in stepping up the capacity of the ventilating fans in the newer rinks.If the heat from the spectators&rsquo; bodies can be carried swiftly from the rink before it has a chance to condense on the cold ice, the arenas can be kept free of the troublesome fog, ventilation and refrigeration experts agree.The problem is only part of what faces hockey today. Fans in the more northerly cities now have an idea of what faces rink-goers in warmer sections of the continent&mdash;like California, Texas and the southern United States&mdash;where the winters are briefer and far milder than those known in the northern half. &bull;But it&rsquo;s our belief that hockey can overcome these difficulties, as it has surmounted many in the past in its rapid march to become one of the world&rsquo;s premier sports. The discomforts of fog and heat in the early fall and late spring are only temporary, it&rsquo;s true, but if rink officials can find a way to combat this hazard it will make for increased efficiency by the players and increased enjoyment by the fans, that large and faithful following who make possible the continuation of hockey as a major sport.<h2>HOLDOUT SEASON</h2>The game of hockey is fortunate in that, unlike baseball, there is a minimum of that form of headache for club owners known as &ldquo;holdouts.&rdquo; Usually, hockey players come to terms readily, being easily satisfied with what is offered by the clubs, and in some cases they have been known to sign blank contracts and tell the club owner to fill in the figure.But every once in awhile some major stars are dissatisfied. This fall, Maurice Richard and Butch Bouchard delayed signing their contracts with Montreal Canadiens until the afternon before the opening game. But their disagreements were smoothed out and they took the ice to start the new season.That left Roy Conacher, Detroit Red Wings&rsquo; 31-year-old leftwinger, as the only major holdout in the N.H.L. Conacher, who started his pro career with Boston Bruins in 1938-39, played until 1942-43 when he went into the Canadian Armed Forces for a four-year stretch. He went to Wings before the start of last season.He had a good year, finishing eighth among the league point-getters, and this fall asked for more money. The value he placed on his services was higher than the club figured he was worth, so when the season opened they had not come to terms.The holdout of an important player like Conacher is doubly unfortunate, since it not only deprives the club of his services, but also hurts the player&rsquo;s chances. Reports have circulated that Wings are ready to trade Conacher rather than meet his terms. Even if he gets what he wants from another club, he will have lost several valuable games from his record, hampering his chances to finish first or second in the point race to win a valuable bonus, or of being selected to the AllStar Team, also worth money in the bank to him. &#9632;

Hockey Fans’ Forum

<div class="byline">by LEN BRAMSON</div>MONTREAL&mdash;Of all the hundreds of thousands of people who push and shove through the turnstiles of rinks and arenas all over North America to see hockey, comparatively few ever stop to think about the glistening milk-white sheet of ice that the game is played on, or of the men whose job it is to make that ice.One of the outstanding manufacturers of artificial ice is Bert Newberry, supervisor of the Montreal Forum ice plant. The Forum&rsquo;s diamond-hard, super-fast blueice is famous around the circuit.&ldquo;Making ice seems to be a pretty simple job,&rdquo; we commented following Bert into his well-furnished office, just inside the centre turnstile of the Forum.Bert retaliated with a &ldquo;well how would you know&rdquo; look, and it seemed for a moment as if he was going to say just that, but instead he just smiled.&ldquo;You know&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;making ice for such great players as Blake, Richard, Lach, and Reardon is&rsquo; a full-time job. It isn&rsquo;t just a case of turning on a lot of faucets and then turning them off and letting it freeze, either.&rdquo;<h2>Full-time Job</h2>&ldquo;Well, how long does it take you to put in your first sheet of ice?&rdquo;&lsquo;Oh, I can get a good sheet of ice in about 24 hours,&rdquo; Newberry explained&rdquo; but the big job is building It up to the right thickness and keeping it in condition throughout the season. As I said before, that&rsquo;s a full-time job in any man&rsquo;s language.&ldquo;I have a sand and asphalt foundation here. We just level the sand over the pipes, give it a light spray, and turn on the refrigeration. That gives us a light crust to work on. The trouble with a lot of men who do the same work is that instead of just giving it a light spray, they soak their sand. That&rsquo;s why they have so many cracks in the ice.&ldquo;We start spraying every day&mdash;the first day we give it six 15minute sprays, the second day three half hour sprays, and the third day we just stay out there and build it up to the right thickness.&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t think that that&rsquo;s all there is to making the ice for the season, though. Once the ice is there then comes the big job of getting it to the right &ldquo;temperament&rdquo; for the boyt&rsquo; to play on&rdquo;That stymied us for awhile. &ldquo;You mean you know the &lsquo;temperament&rsquo; of the ice that players like to play on?&rdquo;<h2>Ice Has &lsquo;Temperament&rsquo;</h2>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll say I do,&rdquo; he came back. &ldquo;Why I know&rsquo; the temperament of every team that plays on my ice. For instance, take Boston Bruins&mdash;they like a hard and fast sheet of ice.&rdquo;&ldquo;What&rsquo;s the reason for a whole team liking the same tvpe of ice?&rdquo; &ldquo;It all depends how the home ice Is made. In Boston&rsquo;s&rsquo; case it is built on terrazzo, which is a form of tile, and a solid base like that it&rsquo;s only natural that their ice is going to be hard, and consequently fast.&rdquo;Bert was enthusiastic about the &ldquo;barrel system&rdquo; that he uses to water the rink between periods of a hockey game. Two barrel contraptions&rsquo; on wheels are pulled around the rink after it has been scraped.&ldquo;Since we switched over from the spray system to the barrel method of making ice between periods the sheet has been 100 per cent better. With the barrels we only use 65 or 70 gallons of water, whereas the old spray system used to drink anywhere up to 1,000 or 1,200 gallons. Not only do we Eave on the water, but we get a much better finish.&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the hot water that does the expert finishing job. The cloth which is soaked by the water coming out of the spray at the end of the barrel, drags any snow that is left by the plows until it is completly melted, so that we don&rsquo;t have to sweep after flooding. It also fills up any skate marks or ruts left by the players.<h2>Quick Change Artist</h2>Bert can transform his hockey rink at the Forum from a slippery sheet of ice to a first class boxing ring comple&rsquo;e with ringside seats, in a little under seven hoars.Bert was born in a little town called Maiden Bradley in the Midlands of England. He was studying refrigeration at technical school when the First World War broke out. He joined the British Army and was in the front lines in France before he had seen his 19th birthday. After but a few months Bert was wounded and sent back to England, but soon was back in the front lines. This time he stayed in France&mdash;four years and 10 months. When he finally returned to his native land he found that the wanderlust had him, so he decided to come to Canada.When he first arrived in Montreal he took over management of the old Victoria rink which was situated on Drummond street, and, at the time, was Montreal&rsquo;s number one ice emporium.<h2>Seen Them All</h2>Bert has seen many hockey players come and go, and has known just about all of them personally. He rates Howie Morenz and Nels Stewart as two of the all-round men to whip the black lozenge around the Forum, but the Cook brothers and Hooley Smith were good too.Asked who he rated best of the present crop, Bert replied emphatically, &ldquo;Why Maurice Richard is not only the best hockey player in the N.H.L. today but is also the best to step on the ice since the greats I have just mentioned. That boy has everything&mdash;and plenty of it.&rdquo;In all his years at the Forum, Bert has never had a major breakdown, although he admits that he had a hard job keeping the ice in that epic playoff game between Montreal Maroons and Detroit Red Wings&mdash;the one that lasted until the wee small hours of the morning&rsquo; until Mud Burneteau ended the overtime with the winning goal. &#9632;

Hockey Chroniclers Convene

The first annual N.H.L. All-Star game played in Toronto was well covered by newspapers thoughout the United States and Canada.The blue plate hockey special attracted no less than 23 leading sports writers from cities outside of Toronto. The majority of these writers hailed from the United States, with Boston, home of the bruising Bruins heading the parade with seven of their outstanding sports chroniclers attending the biggest hockey spectacle ever staged.John Carmichael, sports editor of the Chicago Daily News, who has acquired the nickname of &ldquo;the world&rsquo;s most travelled sports writer&rdquo; was one of the first to arrive on the scene. Genial John also stayed over for the N.H.L. owners meeting held at the Royal York Hotel on October 14.Included among the out-of-town writers present besides Carmichael and their papers were: Chicago Milt Woodward, Sun; Ted Damata. Times. Boston: Bill Grimes, American; Henry McKenna, Herald; Herb Ralby, Globe; Tom Fitzgerald, Globe: John Gilhooly, Record; Al Hirshberg, Post; and Bill King, Associated Press. Detroit&mdash;Lewis Walter, Times; Paul Chandler, News; Marshall Dann, Free Press and Doug Vaughan of the neighboring Windsor Star. Montreal-&mdash;&bull; Baz O&rsquo;Meara, Star; Elmer Ferguson Herald; Marcel Desjardins, La Press; Charlie Mayer, Le Petit Journal; Paul Parizeau, Le Canada, Pierre Laporte, Le Devoir and ace photographer Roger St. Jean of La Pres:.Ken McKenzie, Publicity Director of the National Hockey League held an informal meeting with the writers in the Royal York Hotel on the morning of the game. The Club Publicity Directors&mdash;Stan Saplin, New York Rangers: Ed Fitkin, Toronto Maple Leafs; Fred A. Huber, Detroit Red Wings and Camil De Roches, Montreal Canadiens also attended the meeting.Talk of forming an International Hockey Writers Association was discussed. It was of the opinion of nearly everyone present that such an organization would be a great thing for the hockey writers in the league. A committee will work on forming such a body and it was hoped that before long hockey would have its own International Hockey Writers Association comparable to the Internationa] Baseball Writers Association.It was also unanimous by everyone present that they would like to see the time of penalties reported in all summaries of games carried over the wire services. If this was in effect it would be possible by looking at the summary to tell whether or not a team was shorthanded while a goal was scored.McKenzie passed around the new N.H.L. Press and Radio Guide for the hockey scribes to scrutinize. These pocket-size booklets are being distributed to all hockey writers and broadcasters.<h2>High Climber</h2>Bill Allum, sturdy defenceman of the Minneapolis Millers, comes by his ability to crawl over an opponent naturally.

Writers Turn Out Full Strength For All-Star Fixture In Toronto

The first artificial ice hockey arena was constructed at Vancouver, B.C., in 1907. This achievement may be better measured when we view the conditions&mdash;heat from many hundreds of thousands of spectators, heat from the lights giving a total of 30,000 to 42,000 watts and the many heaters. or radiators extending throughout the building and located at times close to the ice surface. Yet a suitable ice surface can be made, thawed out, and re-mode in a modern arena as often as four times a day, if so required.The ice surface is produced and maintained at the proper temperature by a series of cooling pipes extending from end to end of the playing surface. These cooling pipes are about 1&frac12; inches in diameter and may have a total length of from eight to ten miles. They are laid on a gravel foundation and packed with more gravel and sand, althougn in some of the larger arenas such as the Toronto Maple Leafs Gardens, and the Boston Garden the pipes are covered with concrete and terrazzo.It is here that the prime medium for success comes into play. The cooling medium&mdash;ammonia&mdash;with its high heat-absorbing capacity expands from a liquid to a gas travelling through a series of coils, absorbing heat from the surrounding brine. It is a phenomenon of a chemical absorbing heat in changing from a liquid to a gas which Is the basis for practically all refrigeration with which we are familiar with today.A circulation pump carries the cold brine into a header where it is distributed to each of the pipe coils on the arena floor. The warmed brine.(usually only one or two degrees warmer than when It entered the arena surface) returns to the tank or cooler containing the ammonia coils and the process starts all over again. The brine is customarily made of calcium chloride and water which will not freeze at temperatures required for a good ice surface.The freezing equipment can be regulated to meet a variety of cooling requirement full, load on a warm evening or when the ice is first being made&mdash;down to partial load when less refrigeration is required. It is essential that the ice surface be not too cold&mdash;as that would make the ice too brittle&mdash;or too warm, which would allow the ice to melt.To thaw the ice, warm brine is circulated through the coils, causing rapid defrosting. &#9632;

Cleveland Barons Roster

MONTREALWhether the National Hockey League adopts the new referees uniforms designed by President Clarence Campbell depends largely on the reaction of the fans and the league Governors.Modelled for the first time at the All-Star Game in Toronto, the new garb for referees and linesmen consists of a deep-blue slack suit, with a heavy windbreaker shirt in place of the traditional white sweaters worn at present. On the left breast pocket of the windbreaker is the N.H.L. crest.President Campbell explained that the advantage of the new suits was to avoid any confusion which might arise in cases where the home team wears white uniforms. Most of the teams in the N.H.L. have flashy white sweaters and stockings with the club markings to sport before home crowds, saving their dark uniforms for road trips.<h2>Easier Kept-Clean</h2>Also, another advantage for the referees themselves is the greater ease with which the blue uniforms can be kept clean. If an official gets mixed up in a brawl, untangling some wild - swinging contestants, he is apt to wind up with blood on his white sweater. That just about means he has to buy another sweater since the bloodstains are virtually impossible to remove.The president said the new uniforms would have to be approved by the club owners before they could be adopted for formal wear around the circuit. &#9632;

Will Rule On Proposed Dark Refs’ Uniforms

KINGSTON, ONT.&mdash;Perhaps it didn&rsquo;t answer the old query whether the best amateur team could beat the best in professional ranks, but last week&rsquo;s Hall of Fame game here gave the fans something to think about as Montreal Royals nudged Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4.Coming on the heels of Leafs&rsquo; defeat at the Hand&rsquo;s of the National Hockey League All-Stars, the verdict didn&rsquo;t sit too well with supporters of the Stanley Cup champions.Royals were reinforced by a pair of Leafs, Bud Poile and Joe Klukay to help fill some of the gaps left In the Allan Cup winners and Canadian amateur champions by pro raids. But despite that, it was the brilliance of regular Royals players especially smooth Gerry McNeil in goal, that toppled the kings of the professional sphere.<h2>Goalie Brilliant</h2>McNeil, who may see action in the N.H.L. with Canadiens this winter if Bill Durnan&rsquo;s trick knee goes bad on him. played brilliantly to foil the Leaf marauders time and again.Howie Morenz jr., son of the late Canadiens immortal, played centre for Royals and sank a goal behind Turk Broda early in the third to put the amateurs ahead 3-2. But Gaye Stewart husky Leaf leftwrager who shows signs cf returning to his old-time form, tied it up and from there to the finish the core seesawed back and forth until Bobby Pepin sank the winner at the 17-minute mark, of the final frame.<h2>Seesaw Battle</h2>Royals got off to an early start on counters by Robertson and Clift Malone in the first period, but Leafs tied it up as Vic Lynn and Teeter Kennedy found the range. After the sniping by Morenz and Stewart Bobby Fryday put Royals one up again only to have Leaf Captain Syl Apps deadlock it again and set the stage for Pepin&rsquo;s payoff tally.Proceeds of the game between the two champions&rsquo; were turned over to the Hall of Fame Buildding Fund, being raised to erect a memorial to the greats of the game in Kingston which was among the sites where the winter sport was first played on this continent. &#9632;

KINGSTON SUMMARY

Some of the most vicious body-checks&rsquo; ever exchanged by two players were those dealt out to each other by George Boothman, coach of the Houston Huskies of the U. S. Hockey League, and Bryan Hextall of the New York Rangers, when Boothman played left wing for Toronto Maple Leafs. Whenever the pair came near each other the heavy artillery was swung into action. &#9632;

Hate Each Other

TORONTO&mdash;Canny Art Ross, Boston Bruins&rsquo; head man, wasn&rsquo;t so far wrong when he predicted the National Hockey League All-Stars would defeat Toronto Maple Leafs in the league&rsquo;s First Annual All-Star Game. But he took a lot of ribbing from opposing managers and the fans who liked Leafs&rsquo; chances.When the star-studded crew led by Coach Dick Irvin of Montreal Canadiens defeated Leafs 4-3 in Maple Leaf. Gardens, they not only justified the faith Ross placed in them, but also gave the fans a treat they had waited for many years.The game at Toronto&mdash;first of the annual events to be staged from now on&mdash;marked the first and only time a true team of league greats had been banded together on one sheet of ice to play as a unit.In previous benefit and memorial games, the league representatives were picked from the other clubs, but they could not be terned official All-Star teams as chosen by the official selectors.<h2>Three To One</h2>The win also made it three wine In four tries for the league representatives. Toronto walloped a collection of stars in the Ace Bailey Benefit game in Toronto 13 years ago by a 7-3 count, but In the Morenz and Siebert Memorials at Montreal in 1937 and 1939 the All-Stars won by scores of 6-5 and 5-2 respectively.Before this year&rsquo;s All-Star contest, Art Ross classed the coaches&rsquo; Belections on the 1946-47 dream team as the greatest ever assembled.&rdquo;<h2>Sorry For Leafs</h2>He also added he felt sorry for Leafs having to play against such a team. It was this remark that drew fire from other quarters. Jolly Jack Adams of Detroit Red Wings said Ross was &ldquo;talking through his hat with his tongue In his cheek,&rdquo; a difficult enough achievement at that.Ross was of the opinion that a team composed of such greats as were on Irvin&rsquo;s lineup could go through an entire season without a defeat. That is only supposition but the way All-Stars performed against Leafs, although they had never played together before and had only a short pre-game scrimmage, showed that they could cause no end of trouble if they worked together for a few games.<h2>Not For Years</h2>&ldquo;Probably not for years will another All-Star lineup be so powerful,&rdquo; Ross added at the time, &ldquo;because some of the players are at their peak now&mdash;-in another year they will be over the hill and replacements a coach would have then wouldn&rsquo;t be as close to hockey greatness,&rdquo;It was a great game for the fans in more ways than one&mdash;especially those at rinkside&mdash;as the two teams played hammer - and - tongs hockey throughout the piece, with old rivalries and enmities of last season cropping up.<h2>Durnan Not In Form</h2>The hockey followers were cheated of seeing Bill Durnan, Montreal Canadiens great goalie, at his best, Drunan, four times winner of the Vezina Trophy as puckdom&rsquo;s leading goal - stopper, played with an injured knee which had been bothering him all during fall training after he was injured playing softball last summer.Leafs scored all their goals against him In the first half of the game before Boston Frankie Brimsek, second team choice of the league coaches, took over to blank the goal-hungry Day men for the final 30 minutes.<h2>Brimsek Brilliant</h2>Brimsek, who looks to be in for a bang-up season, was easily the star of the piece,, although the Bentley brothers of Chicago and Toronto&rsquo;s Syl Apps stood out like lights on a Christmas tree.Apps, Leaf captain, scored the third goal for his team and assisted on the others by Harry Watson and Bill Ezinicki, It was the Apps - Watson - Ezinicki line that did all the scoring for Leafs, as their youthful K-L-M line of Ted Kennedy, Vic Lynn and Howie Meeker turned in a disappointing showing.Chicago&rsquo;s Max Bentley scored once for All-Stars, brother Doug got the winning counter and assisted Montreal&rsquo;s Maurice Richard on a third. Grant Warwick of Rangers got the fourth for the league greats. &#9632;

Fans Discuss Annual Game How Great Were All-Stars?

Toronto&mdash;The greatest gate in the history of All-Star exhibition games was drawn into the coffers here when Toronto Maple Leafs played the best in the league in the First Annual Game.Total receipts from the contest were $25,842, of which $17,228 was earmarked for the players&rsquo; pension fund in the National Hockey League set up this season. The remainder goes to Toronto charities.<h2>Talent Developer</h2>Lex Cook, newly named coach of the Dallas Texans of the U. S. Hockey League, has the reputation of being one of the finest developers of young players in Canada. He was playing-coach of the Kirkland Lake Blue Devils in 1940 when they won the Allan Cup, emblematic of the senior championship of Canada. Since then he has sent a store of stars to professional hockey. &#9632;

Hershey Bears Roster

MONTREAL&mdash;The Grovehill Golf and Country Club is openly challenging any other golf club on the Nortn American continent to a hockey game anywhere at any time.This may sound odd but when you look over the imposing list of hockey players among its membership you will readily agree that they can easily post such a challenge.Amons Grovehill members are Elmer Lach, Bill Durnan, Pete Morin, Johnny Mahaffy, Jim Haggarty, Smiley Meronek, Sibbey Mundey, Vic Washbroad, Bob Morin and Syd Sloan, all of whom wield a mean hockey stick.<h2>Milk Diet</h2>When New York Rangers were in training camp this fall at Saranac Lake in the Adir-ondacks, Frankie Boucher&rsquo;s Blueshirts put away an average of 92 quarts of milk a day. Boucher was reported ready to boycott cow juice as he kept a close watch on the waistlines of his crew. &#9632;

Divot-Diggers Issue Puck Challenge But Look At The Lineup They Have!

<div class="byline">By LEO ORNEST</div>LOS ANGELES&mdash;The Pacific Coast Hockey League got away Tuesday to commence its fourth year of action on the West Coast of Canada and the United States.Directirs the league is G.A.(Al) Leader, loop commissioner, whose offices this winter are at San Francisco having transferred from his former location at San Diego.Eddie Shore of Oakland and Eddie Shipstad of Portland, Ore., are vice-presidents, with Coley Hall of Vancouver as secretary-treasurer. Cliff Henderson, Los Angeles, is chairman of the Board of Directors, a new post instituted at the League&rsquo;s&rsquo; annual summer meeting.Each of the 10 clubs in the league will play 66 games, with 33 home contests and an equal number on the road. Last season there was only a 60-game schedule. The league has made an import ant change in its officiating arrangements. Previously the P.C. H.L. used two referees&mdash;the same system&mdash;as in effect in the American Hockey League&mdash;but this year the circuit has switched to one referee and two linesmen as used in the National Hockey League.<h2>Coaches Canucks</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-011991/8392110-1-eng-US/f0010-012.jpg" title="f0010-01" width="572" height="940"><figcaption class="caption-body">MAC COLVILLE</figcaption></div><h2>SEASON OPENER</h2>Los Angeles Monarchs, last season&rsquo;s Pacific Coast champions and United States National finalists, opened the 1947-48 semester in Fresno October 21 when they met the Falcons in the Inaugural game of the 21-week season.Monarchs, under the direction of Johnny Polich, the only playing coach in the league, have nearly all of last year&rsquo;s players on hand to defend their honors, plus some likely-looking newcomers, lolich will carry 18 men, exclusive of a spare goaltender, throughout all though the rules of the league allow only 14 to be dressed for any one game.The 6&rsquo; 3&rdquo; coach is relying heavily on his holdovers from last spring to ice a winning combination.<h2>New Ownership</h2>The San Diego Skyhawks opened the new season under new ownership and with an almost completely new team. The Forsyth brothers are half owners, with the Buffalo Hockey Club of the A.H.L. controlling the other half. Manager Art Chapman of the Bisons promised everything possible would be done to furnish San Diego with a good team. Jeff Desilets. former, ly with Canadiens and Chicago of the N..H.L., has been named chief coach.Bob Gracie, former N.H.L. star, is the new coach at Fresno. Gracie last winter led the powerful Hollywood Wolves&mdash;who have dropped out of the league this season. It was felt the Los Angeles-Holly wood area couldn&rsquo;t support two teams, especially with the heavy schedule called for this winter.<h2>Shore At Oakland</h2>Oakland Oaks, owned by Eddie Shore and coached by Tony Hermerling, trained at Saskatoon, Sasks., where some 90 prospects turned out. Shore, with his spreading farm system including Springfield of the A.H.L. and Fort Worth of the United States Hockey League, is expected to provide strong competition from his Oakland xtet.San Francisco recently completed a tie-up arrangement with Cleveland Barons of the A.H.L. They have Les Cunningham as coach. The Shamrocks promise to have a much stronger team than Frisco in the loop.With all the Southern Division clubs? having working agreements with A.H.L. clubs, the brand of hockey should be improved greatly.<h2>SEVERAL TIE-UPS</h2>In the Northern two clubs have made direct tie-ups with A.H.L. squads. Tacoma has an arrangement with Providence Reds that will give them a stronger team than last season, while Coach Dave Downie brought some new blood down from Canada.Jimmy Ward and his Portland Eagles have an arrangement with Philadelphia Rockets.Seattle Ironmen expect to ice a stronger team, with the return of goalie Ron Pickell, forwards Roy McBride and Maurice Duffy to add to last winter&rsquo;s crew.Vancouver Canucks have a new coach&mdash;former New York Ranger Mac Colville&mdash;and have signed several new men. New Westmin ster Royals, the other Canadian entry, have most of their old players back again. Owner and Coach Kenny McKenzie has a working agreement with Boston Bruins which he expects will pay dividends. &#9632;

How They Finished Last Spring

<div class="byline">By ERIC BISHOP</div>TRAIL, B.C.&mdash;The four Western International Hockey League teams opened their respective training camps last week and each club was swamped with hopefuls. Joe Benoit had 22 handpicked pucksters reporting for Spokane&rsquo;s initial workout, 40 puck manipulators answered the gong in Trail, 32 hopefuls hit the Kimberley ice surface which is&rsquo; artificial for the first time in that city&rsquo;s long hockey history, and Nelson officials welcomed 37 ice speedsters.The tentative schedule, which was drawn up for about the tenth time, last week, has Trail Smoke Eaters trekking to Nelson on November 1&mdash;to pry the lid off what promises to be a fine season.Optimism fairly bubbles forth from the respective training camps. Last year&rsquo;s cellar-dwelling Spokane outfit appears to be 90 per cent stronger and Joe Benoit predicts great things for his charges. He recently landed Johnny Ursacki, a little speed merchant who has play, ed with Lethbridge, New Westminster and Vancouver aggregation. Benoit and his partner, Rene Morin, are currently battling with Kimber, ley officials over a forward by the name of Jimmy Lowe, who starred in service hockey on the west coast a couple of years back.Crafty Ralph Redding has his Kimberley clan drilling nard in practices. Redding pointed out that last year his team didn&rsquo;t have ice to practise on until mid-November and that his crew Iropped five of its first six games but still came on to cop the bunting. He figures his laddies will break with the pack this year and still finish atop the heap.Gordon McKenzie is still close lipped about his Nelson Maple Leafs. He has six ex-Winnipeg players in gunning for berths and hopes they will plug the gaps left by the departures of ace defencemen Steve Krizan and George Bare, foot. Nelson stock jumped a mite when veteran Jack Kilpatrick decided to play one more sesason before hanging up his blades. &ldquo;Killy&rdquo; a smart centreman, has been one of Nelson&rsquo;s high scorers for many a season.This winter Trail will be under the capabe guidance of Ab Cronie, for years considered one of the best centreman in amateur ranks. Cronie, who was playing coach of the Smokies in 1938-39 when they went overseas and won the world championship, replaces Jimmy Morris at the helm. Morris coached the team the past two seasons, but turned down a third term deciding that 17 years of hockey headaches and hearthaches were enough.It was only natural the Smokie bosses hand Cronie the coaching reins. Cronie has been perennial captain of the Trail tribe for the past seven years&rsquo; and his smart ice generalship carried local teams to great heights. He has neverfailed to be right in the thick of scoring races in the 12 years he has played in Trail. Ab. who was with Red Dutton&rsquo;s old New York Americans for a brief fling, will still patrol the center ice lanes as&rsquo; well as coach.Cronie, by the way. has a son named after Dutton, the former N.H.L. president.<h2>Toot, Toot!</h2>WINNIPEG&mdash;The tootin&rsquo; of the whistle is old stuff to Vic. Lindquist, head referee in the Western Canada&rsquo; Senior Hockey League.A railroad man in his every day life, Lindquist has been granted a four-month leave of absence to handle his whistleblasting chores in the Western puck circuit. He starts his refereeing November 4 in Saskatoon, Sask., and will handle 60 games during the schedule, appearing in all five cities of the loop. &#9632;

Kootenay Loop Loaded With Likely Prospects

WINNIPEG&mdash;A well balanced setup is the main theme of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League this year. The fans who have for years watched a two-team battle for top honors and often a one-team runaway to the championship, will have something to shout about this season as all clubs promiE&rsquo;e to be strong contenders for the league title.Pat Lyon&rsquo;s Monarchs with Walter Monson at the helm have so many forwards that they don&rsquo;t quite know what to do with them. Back again from last year&rsquo;s squad are Johnny Arundel, Dick Tougher, Graham Sheppard, Gordon Simpson and Earl Kusmack. Several juvenile stars have shown up well in practices and will be seen with the team this winter. Among thes&rsquo;e are Laurie Mitchell, Bill McCraken, Bob McAllister and Ray Saunders.Between the pipes will be Bill McMeekin and for relief there are two juveniles Don Bridge and Bill Brownstone. Early December will find the Monarchs once again treking west with Nanaimo the main point of call<h2>Canucks Add Power</h2>The Winnipeg Canadiens who recently lost out to Oshawa Generals in a junior competition at Montreal have begun to make valuable additions to last year&rsquo;s team. Fred Dunsmore and Gordon Watters are with the team from Brandon. Ross Nicholson back from Brandon has already had several practices.Those who have shown fine form are Gord Mackenzie, Gordon Pennell, Bert Oig, Sheldon Bloomer and Ford Scott. All are members of last year&rsquo;s team.<h2>&ldquo;Best In League&rdquo;</h2>Harry Neil at the Black Hawk camp states &ldquo;barring injuries, we will be the best in the league&rdquo;. The Whizz line is still intact Members of this&rsquo; speedy unit are Steve Witiuk, Kas Gaceck, and Borden Semenchuck. Also expected to be on hand when the season gets under way are Laurie Dahl and Hayward brothers.Johnny Sofiak of Edmonton will handle the net duties while fronting him on the blueline will be Alex Kurceba, Larry Travis and Vic Berke.With Brandon, Bill Mackenzie has a choice of netminders Len French of the Rangers and Ray Fredericks of Fort Frances.However the prize-package in the Brandon camp is the acquisition of Rdy Migay and Benny Woit. both formerly of Toronto St. Micharl&rsquo;s. Several Winnipeg juveniles are E&rsquo;cheduled to start the season with the wheat city squad.<h2>Tough League</h2>The Scottish Ice Hockey League staffed by youthful hopefuls from Canada, is gaining a reputation as quite a rugged circuit. After only three games had been played, a distress call was rushed to Canada, asking replacements for 10 players who had been put on the shelf through injuries. &#9632;

HARRY LUMLEY WINS AWARD

The man whom everyone thought was &ldquo;washed up&rdquo; at the start of the National Hockey League season, the great veteran Hector &ldquo;Toe&rsquo; Blake is back in full stride again. Toe, with the help of his Punch Line mates is top scorer with two goals and two assists in the clubs two games so far..It takes more than a gash on the forehead to halt the great goal-tending of Rangers&rsquo; Charlie Rayner.

THE WEEK’S STATISTICS

Well, the All Stars&rsquo; did it&mdash;but only by that well worn skin of your teeth! Leafs almost walked away with the bacon and Toronto fans were biven a good preview of what to expect in hockey circles this season. Too bad Billy Mosienko met with that accident&mdash;he&rsquo;s a great guy and one of the N.H.L.&rsquo;s best contestants&mdash;He&rsquo;s out for the season and Chicago wil be deeper in the hole than ever.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-011941/8392483-1-eng-US/f0012-012.jpg" title="f0012-01" width="292" height="472"></div>Chicago showed good recuperative powers in the opener when they came from behind to force the Red Wings to go all out. Detroit won the curtain raiser 4-3, but judging from the action reported in this set-to we&rsquo;re in for a lively season in more ways than one. They&rsquo;re beating the toms toms around the circuit right now with the well known &ldquo;Get Ezinicki&rdquo; war cry. Bill is a great little hockeyist and a swell competitive player. He&rsquo;s a rough and ready customer on the ice, of that there&rsquo;s no doubt, but it still takes two to make a fight. If everyone steps on the ice with the idea that they&rsquo;ll &ldquo;get&rdquo; Ezinicki then we can expect another fan upheaval before the season is very old. Fans like good rugged hockey, but between playing a rugged game and partaking in legal mayhem there&rsquo;s&rsquo; quite a difference.We&rsquo;re not trying to cover for Ezinicki&mdash;Bill can very well do his own battling&mdash;but in trying to nail Wild Bill, many a player is going to end up taking more than he&rsquo;s giving out. Secondly, we&rsquo;ve a feeling that Prexy Campbell won&rsquo;t stand for much monkey business before he steps in to subdue the ardor of some of the boys.It&rsquo;s far too early to go out on that proverbial limb and start looking around for an N.H.L. favorite, but there&rsquo;s plenty of shop talk right now all around the circuit. Most clubs seem to have iced a much improved machine over last year, and the quizzical eye of practically every fan is directed at the Montreal Canadiens. Will they be up to their usual mark or not? Will their rookies fill the gaps left open by the fading of veterans?Those are good questions, whether or not Canadiens will be their usual bombastic selves is bard to say, but it&rsquo;s nice to see the &ldquo;Punch&rdquo; Line back in there. Lach, Richard and Blake are as colorful a trio as you&rsquo;ll find in the business and if they can hit their stride again they&rsquo;ll give the Canadiens plenty of needed &ldquo;Punch&rdquo;.Next week, we&rsquo;ll have had a chance to watch the clubs in action and we&rsquo;ll be in slightly better position to give with a few comments about their calibre and appearance. &#9632;

QUEBEC SENIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE

ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA&mdash;Murray Patrick, son of Lester and a former puckchaser with NewYork Rangers of the National Hockey League, is banking on a combina. tion of youth and experience to bring his St. Paul Saints to the pennant in this season&rsquo;s United States Hockey League race.Last season everyone watched the Saints and wondered what was wrong with them. They seem ed to have the strength on paper, couldn&rsquo;t seem to find the combination to start clicking.But this season Patrick hopes things will be different, and has added new blood.Newcomers include a bruising defenseman, Joe Woloch, and four forwards: Armand (Dutch) Del. Mone, Ronnie Row, Weston Trainer and Stan Dowling. The experience come from Lloyd Ailsby, Alex Sandalack and Bob Dil on defense. Pee-wee Read, Jos Levandowski, Lin Bend, Mitch Pechet, Gus Schwartz, Gino Rossini and Nakina (yep, he&rsquo;s still around) Smith, all front liners.Doug Stevenson and Jack Mc. GIB will handle the nets.Read played with Dallas in &lsquo;4546 and was second leading scorer in the league. Rozzini, another center, had a month with Tulsa after Hershey lost him by a shook der injury last season. In 194546 he had 80 points with Hershey. The third center. Bend, was with the Saints In 1945-46 but with New Haven of the AHL last season. Ailsby, Dill and Sandalack will be tough cookies behind that blue line. Dill was All-Star last year and Sandalack made the second team. Ailsby was a standout two years ago.Action tonight sends Dallas the Miller&rsquo;s home opening foe Saturday night at the Arena against the Pla-Mors at Kansas City. Dallas also tangles with ths Saints Sunday at the St. Paul auditorium.<h2>All-Round Athlete</h2>Murray &ldquo;Muzz&rdquo; Patrick, giant coach of the St. Paul Saints the U. S. Hockey League, is rate., one of Canada&rsquo;s greatest a around athletes. The season fore Muzz turned pro in hockey 1936-37 he captained Canada&rsquo;s national basketball champions &#9632;

But as she was having trouble getting the fire started, Yvette took a bowl of naphtha and tipped a few drops of this highly inflammable liquid down into the stove. Mr. and Mrs. Paradis and their two young children were still asleep.In an instant, the flames had leaped out of the stove. The bowl of naphtha and Yvette&rsquo;s clothes were ablaze. Every instinct told her to drop the flaming liquid and save herself from the fire. But instead, she held on to the bowl knowing that to throw it down would set the whole house afire!<h2>GIRL HEROIC DESPITE BURNS</h2>In spite of severe burns, Yvette carried the naphtha from the house, even having to turn the key in a door that was still locked. Only when outside did she attempt to extinguish the flames that were burning her face, arms and legs.Thanks to her cool courage, a terrible and perhaps fatal fire was averted.

PROVINCIAL HOCKEY LEAGUE 1947-48 SCHEDULE

MONTREALThe oldest hockey league in operation today, the Junior Amateur Hockey Associatoin. Montreal&rsquo;s junior circuit, will soon swing back into hockey&rsquo;s stage ot activity. The league will be off at the sound of the gun in quest of Montreal&rsquo;s first Memorial Cup winner in the history of the Lea gue.Junior hockey followers in Montreal will watch the biggest junior league ever in operation in the province of Quebec. This season the J.A.H.A., under the watchful eye of Frank Selke, general manager of the Forum, has branched out into a nine-team league with the addition of three out-of-town entries.The three new clubs added to the junior setup this season are Quebec St. Pat&rsquo;s, Valleyfield Braves, sponsored by the Quebec Senior Hockey League organization and Granby. These three new teams, together with six holdovers, Royals, Canadiens, Nationale, Verdun Leafs, Verdun Cyclones and Lachine Rapides, round out the junior ice society.<h2>Two Teams Scrapped</h2>Two of the junior clubs that operated in the league last winter, Concordia and Wing Wheelers, moved to the sidelines for the coming campaign by amalgamating with Nationale and Canadiens respectively.After the humiliating defeat the league champion Canadiens suffered last spring at the hands of St. Michael&rsquo;s College Majors, Memorial Cup winners, in the Eastern Canada finals officials of the Montreal junior league decided to bolster the calibre of junior hockey here. Concordia and Wing Wheelers, weak sisters last winter, vacated their berths and thereby strengh-thened both Nationale and Canadiens.<h2>Royals Appear Strong</h2>Early season workouts coupled with the series for the Sportsmen&rsquo;s Association Trophy tabbed Royals as the apparent powerhouse in the league this season. Coached by Sylvlo Mantha, former defenceman with the N.H.L. Canadiens, the Nats have been bolstered by three members of Canadiens last year&mdash;Bob Fryday, Ernie Roche and Gilles Trudel. Joseph Cyr and Rollle - Landry who have come up from Concordia and Floyd Crawford, a native of Glace Bay should also be a &ldquo;shot in the arm&rdquo; to Mantha&rsquo;s club.Sam Pollock, who took over the reins of the champion Canucks from Frank Currie&mdash;now in Edmonton&mdash;Is not expected to ice as strong a team as last year while Royals winners of many J.A.H.A. titles in the past, will produce a stronger and better-balanced club. The Royals will be stronger between the pipes since securing Jack Donlevy from Tim-mins, Ont. Donlevy will take over from Herbie Kert, regular puckstopper last winter. &#9632;

Enlarged J.A.H.A. Hopes To Ice Cup Contender

To Modere &ldquo;Mud&rdquo; Bruneteau popular coach of the Omaha Knights, of the U.S. Hockey League, goes the honor of scoring. one of the most important goals in hockey history. It came in the first game of the Stanley Cup playoffs between the Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Maroons in the spring of &lsquo;36. Mud. then with Detroit, took Hec Kilrea&rsquo;s pass to score the only tally of the game after 176 minutes and 30 seconds of play. This was just three and a half minutes short of three regular games. &#9632;

Clutch Scorer

KINGSTON, ONT.&mdash;The Queen&rsquo;s University Intercollegiate hockey team, which finished in the league cellar last season, intends vacating that lone too enjoyable position this rear. The Gaels have commenced their ice activities by naming Sene Chouinard as head coach to succeed George Patterson of loyceville.Chouinard, originally a native of Ottawa, is an experienced hockey campaigner both in the playing and coaching departments. He coached the Perth Blue Wings to junior fame while in his heyday he saw action with the Cleveland Barons of the A.H.L.He has a vast knowledge of the game Itself and believes that hockey contests are not won on the penalty bench. He has set ideas on offensive action and should the Golden Gaels take quick heed of the new style of play, they are expected to do a lot of scoring. His plan of attack in the past has always been daring, colorful and effective. &#9632;

Golden Gaels Of Queen’s U. Acquire Coach

VALLEYFIELD, Que.&mdash;Valleyfield Braves of the Quebec Senior Hockey League have signed Lloyd John (Bingo) Ernst, star defenceman last season with Halifax St. Mary&rsquo;s Maritime junior champions. Ernst, a rugged, hard-socking rearguard, has been getting the eye from some professional teams on his 1946-47 performance. &#9632;

Ernst A Brave

HAMILTON. ONTIt&rsquo;s finally definite that Hamilton Patricias will take a fling in the Ontario Hockey Association senior whirligig this winter, although up until last week the sponsors were undecided, whether to try it again or call it quits.The Pats have been struggling along the past two seasons, just managing to break even in the fiscal column but not getting anywhere in the annual race.Two weeks ago the Pats were ready to toss in the sponge but after consultations with the players, the backers of the club a new arrangement was reached with the puckchasers, who are reported eager to get going after a chainpionship.Lineup of the team isn&rsquo;t definite yet, but there is a possibility Jack Eley will be in goal, and several new plavers including Murry Comfort and Jack Phillips of last season&rsquo;s Stratford team, will be with Pats. &#9632;

Property of the Canadiens club, Morin recently packed bag and baggage and left for the Rangers&rsquo; training site at Lake Placid for a tryout with the Broadway Blueshirts.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/c0004-0390/8393064-1-eng-US/c0004-032.jpg" title="C0004-03" width="590" height="908"><figcaption class="caption-body">PETE MORIN</figcaption></div>Little Pete, whose entire career has been played with the Royals with the exception of a brief outing with the parent Habs, was deprived of probably his only chance to make good under the &ldquo;big tent&rdquo;. He was alleged to have been offered a two-year contract for signing with Rangers calling for $7,500.But the Canadiens clamped down on Pistol Pete&rsquo;s bid for fame claiming that the Rangers were infringing upon Montreal property. The move will undoubtedly blacken all of Morin&rsquo;s hopes of gaining a berth with a National League, club. New that Dick Irvin is stressing youth as he bids for another Stanley Cup, Morin, who is now over 30, stands a small chance of making the pro club&rsquo;s lineup. &#9632;

Morin Loses In Bid For Rangers’ Berth

MONTREAL&mdash;Tom Callery, regarded as one of the outstanding sports authorities in Canada, died here early Monday night. A keen follower of all sports, he took a particular interest in hockey and was a close friend of Jack Adams, Detroit Red Wings manager, and King Clancy, N.H.L. referee-in-chief.Whenever a discussion came up as to who was the greatest hockey player who ever lived, Callery would always bring up the name Frank McGee. He would then immediately bring out the record books to back up his arguments that McGee of Ottawa was the greatest player to ever lace on a skate.Tom was a familiar sight at all sports attractions here and his absence wil be sorely missed. A staunch friend of outstanding athletes in all branches of sport, he was always eager to help a young athlete on the way up. &#9632;

Noted Sports Authority, Tom Callery Dies Monday

MOOSE JAW, SASK.&mdash;They call them the Chicago Black Hawks, but fans around here think of the National Hockey League entry from the Illinois metropolis as more of a Saskatchewan-Alberta combine than anything else.Six members of Hawks come from Moose Jaw and Edmonton junior teams to lend weight to this belief.Goalie Emile Francis, Ralph Nattrass, Metro (The Marvelous) Prystai and Dick Butler all are former members of Moose Jaw Canucks juniors, while Bill Gads-by and Cy Thomas played with Edmonton Canadians.Prystai, Butler and Thomas are all rookies this season, while Nattrass and Francis broke in last winter. Nattrass came up from Chicago&rsquo;s farm team at Kansas City in the United States Hockey League to play 35 games, while the diminutive Francis broke in directly from senior ranks, replacing Paul Bibeault for the last 19 games of the season.Besides this impressive array of young talent, there are two others who may make the grade. Frank &ldquo;Gopher&rdquo; Ashworth, who played 19 games last winter with Hawks, and Harry Groves from Kansas City may move up this season. &#9632;

Chi Black Hanks Look Familiar To West’s Puck Fans

WINNIPEG&mdash;To hockey, men, this city could rightfully be referred to as the West&rsquo;s terminus of hockey players. The city&rsquo;s puck products are continually going and coming.Even though the season has started to roll for a majority of the leagues both in Canada and the United States, the players are still streaming in and out like a railway freight yard. Among the professional Clubs that have been hunting for talent both young and old in Winnipeg are the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Black Hawks of the National League and Cleveland and Minneapolis of the A.H.L.One of the latest boys to leave here has been the big gun of the Winnipeg Monarchs&mdash;the club that copped the Memorial Cup last season&mdash;Eddie Marchant. Marchant had plans of lining, up with the Valleyfield Braves of the Quebec Senior Hockey League but he now appears to be headed for San Diego.Jackie Gibson star goalkeeper of that same Monarch club, will be guarding the twine for the Sydney Millionaires. His last club was the Detroit team in the Michigan-Ontario League. Another of Winnipeg&rsquo;s netminders. Bun Nicholson, is also headed for the East. He has signed to play for North Sydney.Two more of Nicholson&rsquo;s teammates on the Eeo Flyers, Barney O&rsquo;Connell and Jack Kernahan will join Andy Mullingan in Toledo. So if trains into Winnipeg carry any more hockey scouts, the centre will soon be barren of talent. &#9632;

Old Lamplighter Sinks One

TORONTO&mdash;The Stanley Cup, emblematic of the world&rsquo;s hockey supremacy, was presented for competition by Lord Stanley of Preston, a Governor General of Canada in 1893. And in Toronto on Saturday, October 18, Viscount Alexander, Canada&rsquo;s present Governor-General, presented the Stanley Cup to the 1946-47 winners, the Toronto Maple Leafs.This marked the first time that a GovernorGeneral of Canada ever presented the Stanley Cup to a Toronto team. Viscount Alexander also faced off the puck to officially open the 1947-48 season in Toronto.As the Governor-General stepped to the ice, the 48th Highlanders&rsquo; pipe and brass band went through their famed criss-cross march while playing &ldquo;The Road To The Isles&rdquo;.Also attending the Cup Presentation was Clarence Campbell, president of the National Hockey League. It was one of the most colorful opening night ceremonies ever held on Toronto ice and was attended by prominent figures from all walks of Canadian life. &#9632;
