O O O President Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League is of the opinion "dressing-recon awards" of scoring points should be kept "to an absolute minimum." The presi- dent's opinion was expressed In a recent letter to Bill Graham, offic- ial scorer in Toronto, who. during a game January 8 credited two goals to Toronto's Howie Meeker that previously had been credited; 1o Walter StBIIUWSRI. The reverted -‘ ' ' came after the close ofiho second period, following n confer- ence among players and officials. o o a ~

Meeker thus scored five goals in the game, won by Toronto Maple Leafs over Chicago Black Hawks, 10-4. Mr. Campbell said yesterday’ he wrote Graham largely to point out. the dull-es of scorers and that there was nothing wrong in what Graham did. He said a referee's information. or even that of a team captain. might often be valuable and acceptable to an official scorer.

(Detroit Free Press) By JACK some As told to Tommy Davina

It was 11 years ago. but it seems like yesterday.

I've been In hockey a; a player. coach and manager for 30 seasons. Every year provides, a share of thrills. but (he day I'll never forget is April 11. 1936.

That date might not mean much set out by itself. What makes It the bright day of my iilg is that it marked my first Stanley Cup cham- pionship with the Red Wings.

I'd been at the helm of the Wings for seven seasons without a title. We'd been in the playoffs before We'd been close to the Stanley Cup. but always something happened. I was getting impatient. wondering if I'd ever lead a team to hockey: most coveted honor.

When the 1936-36 season opened I felt "this I; It." I had one of those (cams that comes along only at rare interval; In any sport. A team that supplemented its natural tal- ents with great courage. with a love of rough going. It was a team that Inspired confidence.

We finished at the top of our division that year. The first hurdle was over. 'I'hen into the Cup play- offs. We beat a fine Montreal team three straight to move Into the finals. The Wings’ opponent was Toronto. which had moved into the title bracket by eliminating the New York Americans.

When the Cup finals started, my ambition and that c.f every member of the Wings was to sweep three straight from the Maple Leafs, too. That would give l5 a record for championship play. For a while it looked like we were going to do It. too. But wait a minute. I'm getting ahead o1 myself.

The 111-31: (m! game; of (no ser- ies were played here. We won the opener. 3 to i. "Two to g0" — the players shouted to me in the dress- ing rcbm.

The next night we really poured it on with a vengeance. Everything the Wings did was right and little the Maple Leafs tried worked. we virtually swept them oft tho rink to its-kc the game, 9 to 4. That was the highest total piled up In Stan- ley Oup history up to then.

After that massacre the scene shifted to Toronto. The change didn't worry me. however. I doubt if hockey ever had a better road club than those Win95 of '36. Home Ice or foreign rinks were all the some to them.

In that third same we once again were a hot team. The Leafs didn't look ‘like they belonged on thg ice with us. For the first two Periods and 13 minutes of the third, the Wings had things their own way. Our top forward line of Marty Barry. Herbie Lewis and Larry Aurle once again ‘W85 making Tar- onto's famed "Kid Line" of Harvey Jackson. Charley Oonacher and Joe Primeau look pale by compar- igon. They were truly kids being taught hockey lesson; by masters. Seven minutes to g0. RED WINGS 3. MAPLE LIHNFS 0. Believe me I

SEVEN SECONDS TO GO. Seven seconds away from hockeys most coveted title. Seven seconds that would wipe out r1 I01 of heurt-tbreoks of ‘seven preceding seasons with the Wings.

Then the r00! fell In on me. There was _a face-off. We got the puck and I sighed with relief. In- stead of making a Doss we tried to freeze the puck and that was fatal. Like a flash. Frank (Buzz) Bell. a forward of Toronto's third line. stole the puck and shot.

I watched in amazement. It was as though the puck was on a string as it whlzzed straight by our start- led goalie, Norm Smith. and illlv the net. The score was tied.

of the overtime. We were beaten 4 to 3;

There was no chatter in the ltKk- er room. We'd kicked one away that qva had in the bag. I was do- in: a lot of heavy thinking. Would this be the spark that would turn Toronto Into an unbeatable outfit? would it crush us‘! Was this a case where a hot team like the Wings were reallv being cooled off?

I thought the next night never would come. In the locker room before the game the players were grim. They were Irritable and on edge. Their attitude was one that calmed me a lot.

When they book the ice I was convinced all was well. We had a“ read-headed youngsu named Pete Krlly. He hadn't scored In the Cup play-offs. Kelly was a terror In this fourth game thouth. He sent us Into an early lead with a. goal that lifted the entire team and they stayed "up" tn win. 3 to 2. The fltlo was ours.
