TORONTO. Nov. 29 — (CP) —i Hockey's fabulous fat man. Walteri (Turk) Broda. got orders today to‘

rut his weight from 197 to 190 pounds. Until he docs, someone else will tend goal for ‘Poi-onto

Staple Leafs in tiie National Hoc- rey League.

Theu ltiniatuni came from Conny Smytlie, the Leafs‘ managing direc- -)or, who added that four other players-Garth Bosch. Harry Watson, Sid Smith and Vic Lynn “have been ordt reel to eiit \\'(‘l].1lli or they \\lll be Luci off like thc Turk.

Drastic action \‘(‘£'!ll(‘(l bound to come after the d ‘mai showing of last year's b (‘up champions in the last s ‘ games of which they lost five and tied one.

Broda. at {i3 the N. H. L.'s old- est player, has been far from the spry performer" iviin was the back- bone of the club's three straight‘ Stanley Cup triumphs,

Smythe said that Gil Mayer. goalie for Pittsburgh Hornets of thc American Hockey League, will take Broda‘: plume Thursday nigh‘. when Detroit Red Wings come here to play the Leafs.

He hopes. though. that the Turk ' will have the "sense" to get lIllOi condition so he can get back onl the job Saturday night against New York Rangers. i

"We are not running a fat man's

team. Broda is way overweighrt ati, 197 pounds. He is off the teaml until he shows some common; ,|ense. He has been ordered to» reduce to 190 pounds." ' Asked who would replace May- er at Pittsburgh, Smythe said: “Maybe Broda; they don't play till Saturday."

Boesch, I defencoman. was told to cut from 195 to 190 pounds; Watson, from 205 to 200: Simith, f:o~m 183 to 180. Lynn has no tar- get but he's to come down. Wat- son, Smith and Lynn all play left wing.

For Broda, the gama will be ‘the first he has missed (except when he was in the Canadian Army from 1942 to 1946) since he became the team's regular goalie in the 107-38 season. He has played in 35f) league and 84 playoff games. Tvrice he won the Vczina Trophy as the N. H. Lfs top goalie-in 19-10-41 and. 1947-48.

Weight has been a growing pro- blem for Broda, who stands five ‘feet. nine inches. In the 1946-47 season he weighed 183.. The next season he went up to 185 and last year he hit 190. He topped 200 beffore slanting pre-season training {this year. Record books show six- foot Harry Lumley of Detroit Red Wings as Brodas chief weight rival among goalies. at 195.

Broda could not he reached for comment on the situation. But friends said they believed he was busy trying tn get off the pounds.
