HARD TO REPLACE

It’s almost axiomatic in sport that when you let an establidied player go to a rival club he con- sistently beats your brains out. The situation seems to work in somewhat inverse fa shio n at times.

Take the transfer of veteran Bert Olmstead from Montreal Canadians to T 0 r0 nt 0 Maple Leads in the National Hockey League.

Bert hasn’t been causing his former mates any particular grief when the teams have met so far this season. But have you noticed Canadians haven’t yet found an adequate replacement for the lanky winger from Sceptre, Sash?

Coach Toe Blake of Canadians has experimented. with Rookie Aeb McDonald, Roolcie Ralph Backstrom, tough little Marcel Bonin and also, by means of breaking up ‘a line, Andre Prono-

Why has he backed higher than all the rest?

Partly it is the keen sense of balance and quick reflexes of the 5‘foot-1‘1, 1604mm native Oklaho- man. But more than that, it prob- ably is due to his toughness, dog- ged determination and daring.

Much had been expected of Mc- Donald, 3 tall, angular and husky boy, but he is still to produce accept-ably. Montreal fans have started to get down on him, more so since Canadians let Bo— nin go to Rochester of (he Amer» ican Hockey League. His stay there is supposed to be limited. Thus, while Olmstead isn't put- ting the puck into the net against his former mates, that spot he vacated still has a vacant look about it.

Player iniuiies of any kind can cause lots of grief to a coaih and his club. to say nothing of the fellows injured. This season Bos- ton Bruins have been hard hit. Both defenceman Doug Mohne and Centre Bronco Horrvath have

been sidelined with fractured jaws. Doug Harvey, all - star Montieal defenceman, was out

with a serious ankle injury.

The matter of injuries has prompted the great Art Ross, now in retirement in Boston, to come out with a suggestion aimed at curbing serious injur- ies} Ross was an outstanding player in‘ his day all later headed the top brass of the Bruins for years.

R‘oss’ suggestion is this: Side- line the player who caused the injury. Keep him out of the game until- the injured player returns. If Ross” suggestion was fol— lowed, Bob Puliord of the Leafs (Would be idle. It was his elbow— it is claimed the Leafs were wearing a barred type of elbow pad—that broke Mohns’ jaw. “But the NHL will never adopt the plan," said Ross. “I’ve advo- cated it for years to keep down sticks and elbow.

“The penalties haven‘t been ser10us enough. If you cross— check a man in the face, break- ing his nose, and that man is out

Saturday was one of the busi- witnessed at Sports Arena or cst, if not the busiest. day ever Forum as it was previously named. The occasion was the second session of this year’s minor hockey set-up and 700 boys from the City and sur-

teams ere worked out and or- ganized.

From a previous workout it would seem that there will also be 2 or 3 schoolgirl teams in the City as well, so with games for 48 teams weekly and a cou- ple of skating sessions, for young people who are not taking part in hockey, the City minor hockey leagues, sponsored by the Charlottetown Playground Commission and Abegweit AAA, are providing a wonderful pro- gram for the young folk inn the limited time at their disposal. Due to the increased particip- ation in the various hockey lea~ gues, Saturday’s activities this season will get underway at 6:45 am. rather than the pre vious 7.45 am. starting time.

It is realized this is a pretty early starting hour but officials in charge feel the boys will all cooperate in this effort to give more ice time to all and as their turn comes along they will glad- ly roll out a bit earlier on the odd Saturday.

This year’s minor leagues will be made up as follows: (figures in brackets' represent last year’s number of teams).

The shutout was the fourth of the National League season for Plante. whose teammates widely outplayed the Rangers in throw- ing 49 shots at New York goalie Lorne (GumIpl Worsley.

Rookie Alvin MacDonald scored two of Montreal's goals. doubling his season's output. The others were counted by Bernie Geofvfrion Mauric. Richard. rookie Ralph Bachstrom and Marcel Bun-in. Plante’s assist was the first in the NHL in four seasons. It came on Montreal’s first goal. scored by G'eoffrion at 8:31 of the open- ing period. The play started with Plante passing up to defeniceman Doug Harvey. who relayed to Geoffrion. The Boomer went on to blast a 25-foot backhand shot past Worsley.

The official scorer at first cred— ited only Harvey with‘ an assist. Subsequently, referee Lou Farelli officially awarded an assist also to Plante.

It was the first assist for an

NHL goalie since the 1954-55 sea-

son. when Terry Sawchuk of De- troit Red Wings was credited with one. SUMMARY

The classic held each year In early December, has been ill- flaled from the start.

In 1956 at Vancouver, the West won 350 in rain. mud (and fog and a plane carrying players home crashed. killing five western player-s, four of them a.1l-staI's.‘IIn 1957 at Moni— real, the East took the honors 20-2 on a field that was a com- bination of mud, water and ice.

A crowd of about 5,000 watched Saturday‘s game. Another es- timated 10.000 bought tickets bu: stayed close to the fireside. The proceeds, minus $250 to each player on the winning team and $250 to each of the losing team‘s personnel, are turned ever to the ShrIn-ers to aid their crippled children’s hospitals in Montreal and Winnipeg.
