MONTREAL GANADIENS have a chance tonight to make their friends forget waat went on lax Saturday and Suaday pchis. Those were the evenings they were oniy able to man age a tie with the Detroit Red Wings and absorb an 8-4. wallop- ing from the hockey p'ayers from Beantown. :

But all that will be forgotten tonight if the men of Toe Blakemen hand tieir arch enemies, Toronto Mape Leafs, their first defeat of the 1959-60 season. And that’s exactly what we think will happen.

PUNCH IMLACH’S BOYS should be about ready for a fall and these Montrealers would like nothing better than to have the op - portunity of causing it. The Lea‘s ran wild at Maple Leaf Gar- dens on Chicago Black Hawks last Saturday and then to p-ove it was-no fluke they went into Chicago Sunday night and downed

Pilous and company 3-1. That's the Leafs” schedule to date and fwo for two is aout as good as anyone could ask.

“But tonight Im'ach will have no easy time. He may be able to get his band of hustling players out of Montreal with a vic- tory but we are inclined to think that will be a little too big an assignment, even for the talented Imlach. Canadiens’ fans don’t take kindly to home defeats and you can bet that Blake will use every trick tonight to put the loyal Montreal fans back in good humor. :

HOWEVER, there is one thing in favor of the visiting Tor- onto team tonight. They haven't- got a start in years to ¢egual the takeo'f of last weekend. This may serve to make them more © determined than ever to keep things all on the winning side. The Leafs have a lot of capable hockey'sts—a let that can score plenty of goals. They are rugged and Imlach has them skating

F better than any Leaf team in years’ The fact that they will be

performing before Montreal fans won't bother them to much. They would love nothing better than beating the champions of the hockey world right before their most ardent admirers. They may do just that but we're not betting that. they will. OTTAWA ROUGH RIDERS. have come a long way these past few wecks. : ’ It doesn’t seem too long ago that Ottawa fans were hollering for Frank Clair’s scalp, vet today Clair is just about the most popular citizen of Canada’s capital.- a The Riders have shown great power in their last few outin and right now thev would appear to be the team that could cause Hamilton Tiger-Cats plenty of trouble in the Big Four _ pla 's. We are presuming théy'll make the playoffs and at the present time that doesn’t look like too great-a presumption. — From here it would appear like Montreal Alouettes are to be the spectators when playoff time is reached.

TORONTO ARGONAUTS, although losing both games to Ham- fiton over the weekend, are definitely a much improved club. -With fellows like Shatto and Gilchrist carrying the mail. the Argos are no longer pushovers for any outfit. They too will be worthy competitors in the coming playdowns.

While these other three clubs are waging a battle of their own, Jim Trimble has already clinched first place with his de- fending champions, Hamilton Tiger-Cats. But Jim isn’t taking this to-mean that Hamilton will automatically get into the Grey Cup classic. He fully realizes the trouble that could come in playoff time and he respects the abilities of these other con-

: From here it looks like the Riders and Tiger-Cats will be finalists in the East and if that occurs we will not be at all surprised to find Frank Clair’s outfit go all the way. That's pro- asking a great deal of a club that scarely had a playoff

a month ago. However, it appears right now that the Rough are working on all cylinders and it would be no great up-

us if they sidelined the boys from the ambitious city.

THIS COMING SATURDAY Clair will get an opportunity to Ottawa fans how his boys can handle the men from Hamil- The Tiger-Cats invade Landsdowne Park while Montreal Alouettes visit the Argonauts in Toronto.

The Riders and Tiger-Cats last met at Hamilton on October 3 and on that occasion Frank Clair’s charges managed to eke out a 97 verdict. It had to be classified as the biggest upset of the Big Four season. :

The Riders are confident what can be done on the road can be done to a greater exjpnt at Landsdowne. Park and so they’ll play this one Saturday as though the Grey Cup were at stake. You can expect all attendance records to go by the boards when these two clash Saturday afternoon.

AFTER THAT, each team has only two games left in the regular schedule. On October 24 Montreal is-at Hamilton and Toronto is at Ottawa. On the last day of October the Rough Riders invade the Queen City while Alouettes are playing host to Jim Trimble’s gang.

Big Four playoffs are fixed for the 7th, 14th ard 2ist of Novem-

\ber with the Grey Cup day coming on Saturday November 28. agge will be a lot of interesting football for the next six weeks.

FRED HANEY who resigned recently as pilot of the Milwau-

_ kee Braves was as indefinite about his past as he was about his

future. He said there were “100 different things” which- caused his resignation but he failed to list even one.

Haney did say that personal reasons were foremost but he admitted there were “other things I will never disclose.’’ Fred claims he has no plans to return to baseball and adds he has not been offered any chance. It would have to be a very tempt- ‘ting offer, he insists, to get him back in the game.

Executive vice-president Birdie Tebbetts and general man- eger John McHale had asked Haney to sign a contract for 1960 but Fred told them he wouldn't do anything until he talked with

* Braves’ owner Lou Perini. He personally gave his resignation to Perini but he admits his mind was made up when Tebbeits and McHale tendered him the 1960 contract.

There must be an interesting story behind Haney’s decision to step down. Fred may sometime get around to letting the public in on the whole thing.
