Toronto's ‘Punch' lmlach

Grabs 2 Veteran Players ,

By W. R. WHEATLEY

MONTREAL (CP) — George (Punch).lmlach. astute general manager - coach of Toronto Maple Leafs. stole the show, Wednesday at the National Hockey League’s draft extrav- aganza by grabbing two veteran players who have achieved star- dom in their careers.

For a total outlay of $40,000. the Leafs picked up leftwinger Dickie Moore from Montreal Canadians. despite Moor’s putedly gimpy knees and year’s layoff. and goalie Terry

Sawchuk from Detroit Red Wings.

It was the most outstanding grab of stars. veterans or not. since the draft was begun in 1954. Perhaps the last name player taken in the annual draft scramble was Bert Olmstead.

by Toronto from Montreal Ca- nadiens.

Seven players in all were drafted. Outside of Moore and S a w c h u k, they were minor Ieague'rsaor players who have served occasionally in the NHL.

Detroit drafted three players. Murray Hall, part-time right- winger from Chicago Black Hawks; goalie George Gardner. (from Boston Bruins. who play

for Minneapolis of the Central Professional H o c k e y League

last season; and defencemn Gary Bergman, from Montreal, with Springfield of the Amu- ican Hockey League last sea-

son. TAKE ONE EACH

New York drafted from Bos- ton defenceman Jim Mikol. wno had been picked in the minor. league draft Tuesday. and an. nounced dropping minor-league defenceman Bob Woytowich.

r u i n 3 immediately drafted Woytowich from the Ran eis.

All six clubs started the draft with the maximum number of players on their protected list. —18 players plus two goalies undraitable. As a new player was drafted by a club. a pro- tected man had to be dropped from its list.

Detroit dropped Sawchuk‘s name when Gardner was drafted. Earlier in the draft Detroit also dropped the name of defenceman Albert Langiots. formerly with Montreal and New York. No one drafted him. WANTED BOOMER TOO

The Leafs indicated they would like to have acquired Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion.

Is There

Is there not some rule in softball that forbids a player on a coaching line to keep throwing sarcastic remarks at the pitcher?

Game rules are generally based

This does not excuse the pit- cher who goes on the war path because of this need- ling. but we do think the practice of shouting at pit. chers gets very close to the border line of poor sports- manship. Absolute silence is demanded when a golfer in taking his shot. Heckllng a bowler when he is ready to deliver the ball is comidered unsportsmanlike behavior. so why shouldn’t a pitcher get some consideration too?

Forbie attended the Detroit camp in the fall of the 60-61 scason and was promptly shipp- ed to the Spokane Comets of (he WHL. Forbie's hopes were at a low ebb at this point in his career and he had thoughts of quitting hockey. He stuck with it though and had a great year with Comets. scoring 23 goals and assisting on 38 others for r-l points. During his stint at Spokane there were two NHL clubs interested in purchasing Kennedy. but Mr. Adams would not release him.
