Leafs And

MONTREAL. Jan. l6 - (OP)- Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadians battled to a 1-‘. stale- mate here tonight in a rough house fixture that saw referee Frank (King) Clancy hand out 20 minor penalties as a oa-pacity throng of 12,066 customers were kept in an uproar throughout,

The top two teams in ll‘? Na- tional Hockey League race fought tooth and nail as they threw body checks about with abandon. It was the second meeting between the arch rivals in two nights and the draw left the second-place Habitants still nine mints behind the league's loading Leafs. I Toronto went ahead oti a. goal

by Norman (Bud) Pcilc after the game was only two minutes and thirty seconds old and the aggres- sive Toronlonians held their slim advantage until 6:3’! of the _fin-1l frame when utility forward Bobby Fili-on evened it up on g luck- tinged marker.

Fillon‘s goal was a hearlbreaker for Turkxrodu as the tiudgy Tor- onto goalie had played a sensa- tional gome to hold Ganucks at bay while his mates were short- handed several times during the blistering contest.

Despite (he heavy penalty list. the game was never in danger of getting out of hand as Clancy kept close tab on all minor itifraetions. Toronto took ll of the penalties to Montreal's nine. Rookie Howie Meeker was the main offender.

CHARLOTTETOWN. Jan. 1'7 (CP) - One mild day bat-k in lite spring of 1938 a DlIOLOLZPZiZJlIUV vis- itcd Gordie Driiion, Toronto Maple Leaf riglitwitiger, who liafl just‘ won the Notional Hockey League sec-ring championship and the Lady Byng trophy for gentlemanly con- duct on the ice lanes.

The result of ilic catnorttmzitrs artistry was a picture of a ricott- shaven. stalwart young ailtlet) with 3n almost. augellic CXllfCSSlOn ztnd~ to stretch the imagination slight- ly —a halo around hl-s head.

For Gordie Driiion, Moncton. N. B_ gilt to hockey, was n perfect example of lite clean liock/rv play- cr who incurs few penalties and seldoms loses his temper.

That was why Drillorrs oldtime supporters were n littlte worried when they read that he had earn- ed l6 minutes in penalties during two games for the Cunaditin Legion team in the Charlottetown Hockey League.

Had gentleman Gordie "bad man," they asked?

The answer is an elllplllVlt‘ "No!"

Driiion said in an litter-view today that his puck personality Iinstft. changed a bit.

He. explains his familiarity with the penalty box by saying "I'm just trying to look after myself."

Gordie. who roaches as wcll as plays, is somewhat overweight this year and his 210 pounds provide a bulky target for ambitious body- checking defencemen.

And Driiion doesn't like being body-checked any more titan any other player. Besides, he believes it, is far more blessed to ;,;i\‘=.‘ than receive. So he's definitely not a "bad man." just adapting himself to the style of play in the league and the penalties follow In natural sequence.

There's another question. Has hc slowed up much since his N H. L. days?

Driiion admit! he has. nut still claim! to have the eagle eye that (grrried him to the top in the I.

He points to one particular game with a Charlottetown Ail-Slat team last year when he scored 11 goals against Ulises-y. P. E. I.

The game was arranged to raise $350 so that the O'Lesry team could pay for the rink.
