NEW YORK. Dec. 20 -- (CF) -, Conn Smythe predicted tonight tllfltt the Natioiiai Hockey League will have a "casualty list a Toilc long before the season is over."

The managing director of the Toronto Maple Leafs commented iii an interview on the host of illjur- ies suffered by NHL players this season,

"Closer colnpct.ition" was one rea- son he glive for the increased num- ber of players sidelined with injur- ies.

"The teams are so evenly match- ed you've got to fight. like a demon every night," he said. "There isn't a chlincc that you're going to fight every game and not get injuries."

It. used to be. Smythc said. that A team could occasionally rest some of its players in games against weaker teams in the league. But now. with the clubs more evenly matched than in years. every game is a crucial one alid Coaches are sticking as much as possible to first-string talent.

The result is that R coach often takes a chance on a player with a sore knee and ends up with a full- fledged casualty.

Smythe's Leafs mid the Rangers. whom they meet here Wednesday night, are among the clubs hamp- ered by injuries.

' At present Toronto is without Max Bentley, George Armstrong. Rudy Mlgny and Howie Meeker,

Rangers had their trouble earlier in the season. losing goalie Chuck Rayner, centre Don Raleigh and defenceman Leo RcRise for various periods. .

Montreal Canadians have been hurt by the loss of Ellner Lach and Billy Reay and Detroit Red Wings. though they lead the league with a 15-game undefeated streak. are likely to feel the loss of Terry saw- chuk. The gonlle suffered a bronen bone in his leg and l:t.expecbed to be sidelined for another few weeks.

5mythe,said another factor in the increase of injuries was the early-season st.a' to with the American Hockey League which wanted to restrict movement of players between the two leagues.

This left the NHL phat-it of re- placements in some case: and re- sulted in a heavy burden on the regular NHL rosters.

Smythe said he is in favor of per- mitting a club to carry as many players as it wants instead of hav- ing the league put a limit on the number.

Commenting on the fict that ohiouo Black Hawks. currently in second place, have been able to steer rel: lvoly free of,tnjurfes, Smythe an d be thought it was be- cause KIVKS llIVO I "lbllah. hi!!! old crew and it will take quite a. bit to knock them down."

Plante's signing came at a time he would have been eligible for the

this season he filled . in for Gerry McNeil. when Canadiens' goalie was injured. and in the three games on lend-lease he allowed only four goals. In 20 games this season with Royals he allowed 61 goals for a 2.10 average.

Young Hal Murphy of . Ste. Therese in the Provincial League will be brought by Royals. at least. as temporary replacementfor Plaflte.
