The National Hockey League titllsts are slated to open at the Detroit Olympia against Toronto -Maple Leafs Thursday.

IN IVAN'S SHOES

The 1954-55 season will mark the debut of skinner as coach of the perennial NHL favorites. Skinner, long associated with the Detroit organization. takes over from Tom Ivan. Now general manager of the Chicago Black Hawks. Ivan left the wings this season after lead- ing Red Wings to six league cham- pionships and three Stanley Cups in seven tries.

Terry sawchuk is back in goal and, Judging from his early-sea- aon showing, is in for one of his best years.

Won't Replay World Series

CLEVELAND. (A P) - Manager Al Lopez of Cleveland Indiana says he won't spend the winter replay- ing the world series.

"They were hot' and we were cold. We were licked by a cham- pionship team." Lopez said in the stillness of his office after satur-

about

day's final defeat by New York Giants. ”I can't. replay it. I wouldn't

threesome would remain barring injury.

Skinner will form the remaining force from centres Metro Prystai and wingers Johnny Wilson. Bill Dineen, Marcel Boniri and Don Poile. The latter was top scorer with Edmonton Plyers of the West- ern Hockey League last season. A younger brother of Bud Poile, coach of the Flyers, the leftwinger is rated a good chance of catching the spot left open with the retire- ment of Peters.

Skinner sums up the picture this way:

"Montreal will be as strong as last year and you remember the trouble we had with them in the cup finals. Toronto is vastly im- proved . . . a real darkhorse entry. You can look for better showings from Chicago. Boston and New York. It looks like a rough year."

CLEVELAND (AP)-The stun- ning four-game world aeries sweep by New York Giants' under Leo Durocher's skillful handling may mark the start of a new era of National League supremacy.

Held under the thumb of the American League-New York Yan- kees in particular-since 1940. the Giants reflect the new zing and spirit of their league.
