Leafs will use five defencemen, with Btanowskl adding experience to the present setup of four rookie rearguards. Short of front-line re- serves of top calibre. there will not likely be changes tn the attack

forces, generally disorganized in the second tilt. Main worry ln the Toronto‘

camp was that the team's great centre and ace player, Syl Apnsfi seems to have gone stale. Rookies: Jimmy Thomson and Gus Mortson who carried a htg stiare of the de- fensive load all winter have lost their fire.

But as the boys packed their bags, they had one thought to cheer them-Leafs have not lost a game on Detroit ice this season.
