star right winger, said Wetees-| day he was only interested in
MONTREAL (CP) Coach Hector (Toe) Blake and his star defenceman Doug Harvey Wed- nesday admitted Montreal Cana- diens have resorted to “‘spear- ing”’ at isolated times in National Hockey League play but stressed “it was strictly for defensive purposes.”
_ They were replying -to charges by New York's all - star right-)
winger Andy Bathgate in the cur-
rent issue of True magazine. —
Bathgate says that “unchithel brutality” in the NHL “‘is going to kill somebody” and blasts’ players who use their. sticks to} spear opponents, singling out as: worst offenders Harvey, his de- fence mate.Tom Johnson and and three other men. :
ADMIT GUILT
Both Blake and Harvey said Montreal a were guilty of; Spearing in some instances but | they were emphatic that it was necessary to defend against an illegal play pattern that New York often uses. |
Said Blake: ‘‘They like to skate into our zone against the defence’ and drop the puck for a team- | mate following right behind.; Then they skate into our defence. man blocking him out of the play | illegally through interference.”
“They've been doing it >. ie years. Our players have times had to spear to vtepd oft the interfering player I in the play.”
Blake described Bathgate’ i charges as “sour grapes’ and said: “As a matter of fact Bath- gate is guilty of spearing as often as anyone else in the league.”
But the coach said that for the most part spearing in the NHL!
has, been all but eliminated by the vigilance of the referees.
“They don’t hesitate to make the spearing call. A player, has got to be awful, awful cute to get away with it with any consis- tency. ” |
‘Harvey had just about the same thing to say.
'
“Sure,..we_ will spear on_occa- |sion. We've got to when they run interference. But I don’t know of [
anyone in the league who does it)
maliciously or strictly for the fun) of it. It's a defensive measure only.”
League president Clarence Campbell declined to comment on Bathgate's article, saying he had not read it.

In the article. Bathgate is quoted as saying “unchecked brutality’’ in the National Hockey League “is going to kill some- body.”
Bathgate said that several of, the quotes were miade “in the) heat of the game three years ayo! when Red Sullivan (Ranger cap-| tain) was severely injured when, speared by Doug Harvey of | Montreal.”* | “I didn't want to create any)
kind of a situation,” Bathgate) said. “‘All I. wanted to do was point up the danger of spearing”’| —using a hockey stick as a spear to attack an opposing player.

Ip the article, Bathgate is quoted as naming five NHL play- ers as being specialists at spear- ing—Harvey and Tom Johnson of Montreal; Fernie Flaman of Bos- ton, Ted Lindsay of Chicago and Lou Fontinato of the Rangers.
Bathgate referred to a recent | statement by Carl Voss, NHL ref- eree-in-chief, that “spearing is a) | vicious thing.”
“There's not much question) that it's a deliberate attempt to injure,’ Voss said. “I think all) spearing penalties should be ma-| jors—that might help to eurb them.”
