The Guardian, Charlottetown, Tues. Dec. 7, 1965. 11 SPORTS FRONT

Winter is fast approaching and most if not all leaves have gone from the trees. Now it appears as if the Toronto Maple Leafs are fast wilting and if they do not make some kind of change in the near future they will be falling too, right out of the »layoff race. For a brief period, it looked as if the in- jec (on of some skaters into the lineup was going to make bona- fide contenders out of Imlach’s charges for it is the skating teams such a8 Montreal and Chicago who are going, to be class of the league this season again. After having seen the, Leafs get whipped by the crippled Detroit Red Wings over the weekend one wonders just what the Leafs should do.

On the surface of things it anpears as if the big problem is defence. At the 20 game mark in the season last year the Leafs had allowed 53 goals, but Sawchuk and Bower have been beaten 61 times so far this year, Then too, goal pro- duction 1s down nine tallies from 53 to 44. Needless to say this difference of 17 tallies has cost the Leafs a few points. They were in second place with 23 points after the same number of matches in 1964 but are in fourth place, 10 points behind Chicago now.

Bower and Sawchuk have been standing up extremely ‘well to the barrage of shots they face up to each night but it is unlikely that they are going to hold the fort all season. A clas- sic example was the third period of Saturday night's game when Detroit had 21 shots on net, while Toronto managed six. Ed Shack and Bob Pulford seem to be the only consistent Leaf scorers at the moment while Mahavolich is still in the throes of his four year slump, and Keon is not playing up to par.

Should things continue as they are going now the Leafs are going to be fortunate to make the playoffs.

HAWKS, HABS TOO STRONG

As it looks right now Chicago Black Hawks and the Mont- real Canadiens. have just too much skating and Checking power for the other clubs in the league to handle. Sure they are going to get beat during the season but when it rolls down to the final stages of the race, it is going to be the win loss record between the two that decides first. and second.

Detroit showed a glimmer of last season's form during the past week as they won four straight and netted twenty five goals but they too have a rather porous defence and the loss of Bill Gadsby did not help their cause any. When they meet a club which can skate with them and hold their ecorers in check they -will be in trouble until they-get their—— defense back in shape. Boston, a true example of the team crippled by injuries is going to be the spoller in the league. Despite the fact that they got hammered 10-1 on Saturday evening they bounced back and at one time were leading the Habs 3-0 the next night. Had they had some more man power it is quite probable that they would have picked up another two points instead of one.

Finally comes New York and this is going to be the fourtn place club in the league this year, right behind Detroit. Ranger management fired Red Sullivan yesterday and the feeling here is that it was about time. New York started out with a bang but in their last 13 games have managed only a win and a draw. When a club goes undefeated for six games and then hits such a bad streak then something has*to be done quickly. It was... . Fiery Emile Francis who tried to take on the whole Madison Square Garden a few weeks ago over 3 disputed goal was appointed coach yesterday.

Action is worth a thousand words and it is quite likely that this display of fisticuffs for the benefit of his team made Ranger management sit up and take notice. Francis fe areal take charge guy and don’t be surprised if the Rangers reel off a few wins in the very near future.
