Maple leafs Come? From Behind To Tie Halls 2-2

MONTREAL. Feb. 15- (GP)- Toronto Maple Leafs came from be1.ind a two-goal deficit tonight for a 2-2 National Hockey League draw with Montreal Canadlens be- fore a crowd of 14,301.

It was I close-checking game most of the way and took a lot out of the two battling learns that set a furious pace at the start.

The result left Canadlens' pos- ition depending at the moment on the outcome of tonight's New York-Chicago game but they were assured of at least a piece of a playoff 5P0t for the time being.

Ken Mosdell and Bert Olmstead gave Canadiens their two-goal lead in the opening period. hut the Iess' steady play finally erased the margin. Tod Sloan scored in the middle period and Bill Barilko in the final.

Canadians trotted out three newcomers and all of them show- ed well. Bob Dawes and Paul Meg- er from the American Hockey League were used largely on a line with Bernie Geoffrion. taken over from Montreal Nationale jun- iors .

Geoffrion had an assist on Can- odiens' second goal. Olmstead tipping in the rookle's;long, hard drive. Mosdell's earlier goal came on I pass from Doug Harvey, Mos- dell letting fly with a low back- hsnder from the left of the Leaf defence.

Sloan's goal was fired from 15 feet, on a-relay from Ted Ken- nedy and Max Bentley. Bar-ilko's tying goal was scored when goalie Gerry McNeil dropped the puck as he fell to the ice and it toppled in-

to the net. SUMMARY Firs; Period

I.sla.nadeis' victories over Mono- ton and Saint John so far this week bi-in-gs ilhe local club to within two games of consolidating first place in the Maritime Major Hockey League sdnediule with still nin-e games left to be played. In the remainilng two games of play left for each team week either two wins. or a win for Islanders and a loss for Halifax. will clinch the position for the Lamoureux- coaoficd squad. 0 . In the most Tt?CEil'lli contest, play- ed here on Wednesday night s.ga.i:nst Saint' John. the Islanders showed a marked improvement back to the snappy style of play they demonsbravted earlier this season, and from all appearances will be back into their full stride again by playoff time. The boys. who have been a little off color during the past week or lIWO ”are gradually getting back to their old farm", coach Leo Lame-u-reux stai- cd following Wednesday night's clad: when they downed Beavers 6 2. C C O Commenting on his team's per- formance during the past week or two, Leo intirmaiied that one of the big reasons for Islanders "off- niigihis" of late. was due to many of the boys battling with bad colds and slight bouts of "flu that "haven's been serious enough to keep them out of action but suf- ficient to prevent them from turn- ing in the kind of performance they are capable of.” The Island- ers coach, however. was quite pleased with their Wednesday night performance. . . .

The islanders may be suffer- ing from ilhe etfecis of colds, 'flu, eic.. but one would never know it by looking at ilheir record during the last seven games. although ao- .rm'tted:ly. one could see the differ- mce during some of their per- formances. In the last seven games they have won five, tied one and lost one. If they can do 't.ha.t when they are not feeling up to pair. what's going to happen when they are feeling "on the bit."

Just as soon as the team sews up first place position, Lamoureux plans to lake things easy for the rest of tire schedule and give some of the players a break and rest from contipetitiuu. in fact has al- ready started to spell some of iihem off. Starting on Wednaday night. Leo gave ri.-glut winger Bruno "Red" Fave-ro permission to take a full week off from competition and practice. The islanders higlh-scon inig ace has also been suffering from inflzueaiza which is one of the main reasons for giving him a good rest.

The league's leading goalie, Hal Gordon of Islanders, is also due for a rest soon. "in fact may not even make ilbe trip for this week- end's games, aldihiough that is not definite. The hard-working Is- lande.rs' u-et custodian -has played in all but three of the team's 69 starts this season. and holds the excellent average of 2.56 so far iihls year. If Gordon gets the proposed rest. Ohm-lottewicvwn's goalie pro- duct. Frank Strain. who has al- ready performed in three games this year, will take over the custodian duties for the Island- e-rs.

Robinson Would like Boul Wilh Maxim

By JACK HAND

CHICAGO. Feb. 15 - (AP) .- Middleweight champion Ray Rob- inson set his sights on Joey Maxlmls llghtheavyweight crown today, still claiming the waiter crown.

"Sure. we'd like to fight Maxim," said George Ciainford. Ray's man- ager. "It's the hig money match. we've -been after him for a year. Even got a 375,000 guarantee for Maxim from Bill Kyne in San Francisco. Positively, there's a chance of our fighting Maxim this summer."

Gainford was equally positive about Robinson's welter title claims.

"It's up to us to give it up," he said. Robinson however added he'd "rather not" fight as a wclter but would try if "my manager -wants me to."

It's an academic question because both the New York and Illinois Athletic Ccmmisslons insist he automatically yielded up the 14'?- pound crown when his hand was lifted as winner over Jake La Motta in the lath round Wednes- day night at Chicago Stadium.

La Motto, the badly-battered and -beaten Bull of the Bronx, also was in line for Maxim.

Al Weill, I. B. C. matchmaker, in- dlcated a La Motta-Maxim fight is in the works. He also talked of Bob sattarsfield as an opponent for Jake. ,

Nobody is talking about a La Motto-Robinson rematch.

Galnford claims the return bout contract calling fer a seventh La Motto-Robinson bout in June on a 30-30-per-cent split is "an outside contract you can throw in the ash- can."

Robinson got 16 per cent plus t1,5oo television money. or a total of &l,8'73.8l. the official audit of the Wednesday night fight reveal- ed tcday. Jake's 46 per cent and TV cut came to o62,611.iKi. The revised gross gate was tla8.886.05.r

There was a slight swelling of Robinson's left hand and a lump near his left eye today.

"I won't fight until I get feeling good.” he said. "You know that was rather strenuous last night."

14 Motto. carrying a huge lump under his left eye and a smaller bump under the right. was proud of his stout defence.

f'I hear I was dead." he said with- out expression. "1 been right here in this.rooan all the time. Take morsthanthatguytoscnd me to the hospital."
