will start coming in tonight‘s fourth contest.

“Yes, I saw it coming." Saw-; Abel is an old hand at the busi-

chuk admitted. "but I couldn't do anything about it. I was try- ing to push George Armstrong out of the crease. I saw the puck and lunged for it. but it went over my glove hand." Abel said Friday fortune has smiled on the Wings, who have won in overtime and in the last minute after losing the first game in the last two seconds. “1 ho we‘ve got over the abit of waiting until the last minute. It might have looked as if we were playing defensive

“I don't think we played par- ticularly well except tn the fitst period. We're capable of doing better than that and Saturday we hope to show it."

Both Howe and Norm Ullman have a good chance at Stan Mi- kita‘s playoff points record of 21. Both drew assists Thursday night. Howe's point boosting his total to 15 and Ullman climb- ing to 1 .

If a sixth game is needed. it will be played here Thursday. A seventh would be in Maple Leaf Gardens at week from to- day. The semi-final series set a

I lmlach Denounced Udvari

But Vanished After Game

By JACK SULLIVAN , Canadian Press Sports Editor; “Frank Udvari is the worst. referee in the National Hockey League." fumed Toronto Coachj Punch lmlach. Punch‘s remarks were made last Saturday after the first period. of the Detroit- Toronto Stanley Cup game with the Red Wings ahead 2-1.

A few reporters were around to record the words. but. where was Punch after the game. which Maple Leafs won 3-2 out a pair of third-period goals? He "had vanished from the Leaf dressing-room before reporters could get to him.

And no wonder. It certainly would have been a twist to hear a winning coach complain about the officiating while his athletes were whooping it up.

Imlach‘s appraisal of Udvari followed the pattern set by coaches in playoffs. and during the NHL season. over the years. They, and some of their play- ers. make probably a dozen or more mistakes during a game and they take the heat off them. selves at times by picking on the guys in striped shirts.

SID ABEL FINED ‘

Udvari. a 39-year~old Insur- ance man from Kitchener, Ont.. who has been officiating in the big leagues for 13 years, has had his share of barbs directed at him. Two weeks ago, Coach Sid Abel of the Wings said, among other things. that Udvari was "gutless" after be awarded Chicago B I a ck Hawks a dis- puted goal in the Stanley Cup semi-final.

Abel was hit for a $500 fine by League President Clarence Campbell. ,

This prompted Vern DeGeer of the Montreal Gazette to do a little researching. It s h o w that charges against this soft- spoken man by team officials and players have resulted in! fines totalling $3,200 plus since

961.

O D

This total. said DeGeer doesn't count the $25 and $50 fines.

DeGeer recalled the spring of 1961. and another Stanley Cup
