That’s what happened to us Tresday evening listening to the hockey broadcast from Sports Arena.

Montreal could tie Tomato on points—«the Leafs have 82 and the other two clubs 78 each— Leafs- automatically would take the championship because of more victories.

Second place could well be decided in a Chicago-Canadlens game in Montre Saturday. The Leafs went ahead with two goals in the second pe- riod. but Montreal tied it with a minute and a half left in that period and added two more goals both by Backstrom — by 12:44 of the final period.

HITS FROM TOUGH ANGLE

Keen got the first goal after only 22 seconds of the second period on a 30-foot shot frm a difficult angle. Pulford added another at 9:59.
