Hawks Miss Mosienko Right Wing Weakened

CHICAGO— “It was just one of those things that may never happen again,” said President Bill Tobin of the Chicago Black Hawks last week, commenting upon Bill Mosienko’s fractured ankle. “We expect him to be out of the lineup for at least si or eight weeks,” continued Tobin. “It came as a serious blow to us for we were banking on Willie to help us this year.

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.
