SPORT NHL Leaders Give Tilts Away
By CHRIS_ANNETT
This is starting to look like the season in the NHL that no team wanted to win the Prince: of Wales trophy. Both Montreal and Chicago are dropping ‘the big games with an _alarming degree of regularity but as of now it has hurt the Black Hawks a bit more than the Habs in their battle for first place.
Take Thursday evening for example. The Black Hawks, with only five games left to play and needing a win as badly’ as an arm or leg, met the Boston Bruins and promptly lost 3-1. To add insult to injury the surging Toronto Maple Leafs again blanked the Habs on their home ice, this time 2-0. The loss to the Bruins cost the Hawks an opportunity to take over first place and that triumph by the Bruins
1966. 9
could have been the biggest” game of the season in the
pennant race.
However the Bruing.will have an opportunity to turn th tables tonight and tomorrow as they meet the Canadians in
a home and home ‘series over
the weekend. The Bruins have
been.a nemesis for the Habs throughout the season and Blake will undoubtedly have his charges up for. the game. ‘Chicago however. will play only one game on the weekend, that being Sunday evening against Detroit. This will be the first time since midway through the season that the teams have play-
eed an equal_number of games to add ‘‘but the Habs have a of the leaders.
and fans will finally not have game in hand’ when talking
The Black Hawks play four more games, counting to- ‘nights and the Habs five. The Hawks face the Bruins twice more and both the Red Wings and Canadiens once so it appears as if their game agaist the Habs will be the big one of the season for them. Montreal too plays the Bruins
twice more but faces the Rangers, the Leafs and the Hawks once. They. have had trouble all season against the Leafs and so the match between these two arch rivals will prob- ably be the one that makes or breaks the Habs in their attempt to walk off with league honors. They still will have to beat the Hawks on the final weekend of the season but -
« they, have been doing that with Toronto.
____The way things look. now the-game between Toronto and Montreal will quite” possibly be the warmup forthe
f
more regularity than against
Stanley Cup semi finals should the Habs club win. This will be one of the bitterly fought contests in history should the Habs and Leafs meet for they have already put on some
worthy battles this’ vear.

when I spotted two skunks that had, been killed by cars during
jthe night I ‘stopped, as I had
a round point shovel in the car and dug a hole and buried them. While I was in the process—of interning their odoriferous bodies several cars stopped and by the looks their occupants gave me they figured I was about due for’ ‘the butterfly net’.

As this column goes to the press I understand Harold
