Dec. 23-In the midst oi’ a sweeping comeback on nearly all athletic fronts this year from the viewpoint of gate receipts as well as the graz‘: of competition the two trends considered most m-iking by United States sports editors are (1) the rapid growth of interest in professional sports, not- ably football, and (2) the develop- ment of a more open style of play on college gridirons, featuring tlhe use of Canada's lateral pass.

Thrills galore were packed lnto the 60 minutes of hockey that saw 20 penalties handed out, many of them in pairs. as the teams checked closely with resultant tripping. And a. penalty paved the way for the winning goal for Bill Kendall was ofl for trippilig Harold Cotton when Busher Jackson filled a pass from Hec Kilrea into the net for the game's only score. Befort the game started a simple, impressive memorial tribute was paid Charlie Gardiner, Hawks’ great netmlnder who died last spring, a bugler sounding "Reveille." The lineups: ‘Porontn — Goal.

XL- (All) —Neis Stewart, who gets his goals ‘m pairs, pulled Boston Bruins into a 4-3 vic- tory over Detroit Red Wings with a sensational closing rally before a crowd of 7.500 at the Boston Garden Saturday night, The red-shirted forces, thanks to the shun-shooting 0f Larry Aurie and Cooney Welland in the first and second periods, appeared to have the game under control until the last seven minutes of play when the Bruins tied the score when a shot fired by Marty Barry deflected off Doug Young's stick into the Ilietroit cage. This freak counter tempted the Bruins and they forced matters by throwing five men into the attack. Eddie Shore was trapped on a rush broken up by Herb Lewis and that left winger beat the pack back to the Boston zone, where he fed Wei- land, who figured in all the Wings’ tallies, a second scoring shot. Trailing 3-2 with less than three minutes to play, Stewart, Beattie and- Chal-lie Sands cut loose in wild abandon and forced over two goals in on seconds flat to turn back Jack Adams’ players for the third con- secutive time this season.
