Despite Showing Rangers Are Winning Team On Paper; Manager Puzzled NEW YORK. Dec. 7 - (AP) - New York Rangers are celebrating their diamond jubilee season. but the only thing that glitters on hoc- key nights in Madison Square Gar- den is the ice. The New Yorkers are in the midst of their most disappointing National Hockey League season of 23 National Hockey League cam- pnisms. Not the worst. mind you; the most disappointing. It would be dif- ficult to he as bad as the wartime Ranger teams which finished last four years in succession. Rangers, potentially. have the best team in the league. That. may sound a bit strained. but let's take a lcok. Here: a team which came with- in one goal of winning the Stanley Cup championship last spring. From the middle of December on, it was the host group in the circuit. only I bad start kept Rangers from really moving up. So what happens? With almost the same roster, they fall apart. atom in stern. and today are' ent- iiig some of that last-place humble JHP again. Why? "I'll be darned if I know," said manager Prank Bcucher Wednes- HHY nlilht. "The boys certainly are hiistllniz. Take the game tonight. We air: it all we've got, and get niii.-dared by Detroit 9-0. '"Wc had absolutely nothing out there." he oontinucd. "We did ev- erything wrong. The defence. the attack - all. bad. Sure we deserved to lose. But not by that much." For goalie Cihuck Rayner. the loops most valuable player. it was the longest 00 minutes of his life. "I'hat's the worst game I've ever played." he said. "Maybe I'm try- ing too hard. It seems I'm in a rut and can't get out. I don't know , , ." To give Rayner ii much-needed rest. the Rangers said today they will borrow goaltender Emil (The Cat) Francis from Cincinnati of the American League for one game. Cincinnati has no game scheduled Saturday so Francis will play for the Rangers Saturday against De- troit in the motor city. Sunday he will rejoin Cincinnati. At. the some time. Rangers recall- ed defenceman wally Stanowskl from Cincinnati and sent that club Jack Lanclcn. New York aslo ship- ped left winger rind Harrison to Hersfhey of the A. H. L. This move was made to make room for Alex Kalcta. recalled from Hershey a few days ago. Wednesday night's loss left New York with the uninspiring record of three victories in 24 starts.

Elliott Hudson. president of the Maritime Senior Hockey League, today announced the sus- pension of two players - one from Saint John Beavers and cnc from Charlottetown Islanders-for three games. Suspended were Eddie Bolan pf Beavers and Phil Vitale of Island- GTS. Bolan will be ineligible for Ben- vcrs games against Moncton Doc. 7. at C-harlottctoivn Dec. 8 and against Halifax Dec. 11. Vitals will be out for Islanders games against Saint John Dec. 5 at Halifax Dec, 9 and against Moncton Dec. 11. The suspensions followed ref:-rec Stan Swain's report of the Char- lottetown-Saint John game at saint John Dec. 4. Swaln's report said: "I gave Bolan and Vitale match misconduct: for continuing to fight. As they would not stop fighting. would suggest you suspend these two players." Judge lludson said Bolan was given a three-game suspension Nov 21. He finished serving it Nov. 27. Four games later saw him draw another match misconduct. "Appar- ently the first three-game suspen- sion failed to teach him a lesson." "Monday's match misconduct was the first one that Vitale received all season. However, he had been given eight 10-minute misconduct penalties this year prior to the Dec. 4 contest. g "In addition to this a report on his conduct in Ii game between Saint John and dhariottetown in saint John Nov. 13 was filed with the league by the Saint John Dir- ector of Police. J.J. Oakes. It dealt mainly with the use of obscene language. , "Both the Charlottetown manage- ment and coach were shown the report and told to take such action as they deemed necessary. If a warning was given it proved in- effective for the misconduct pen- alties continued. "It is not ouatomary lo give a suspension for ordinary lo-minute misconduct penalties but eight of them plus a police report plus a match misconduct is entirely too much. Therefore the three-game II.-u i . . "Conway. McLaughlin. Bolan and Vitaiie have been given three-game ,. ' so far this season. Bo- lan has received two.

Islanders' de- fcnceman and one of the club's most colorful players, will not be seen in action for the next llhI'CE games. according to a statement issued yesterday by league pres- ident Judge J. Elliott Hudson. Phil has been given it three-game sus- pension along with Saint John Bcavers' Eddie Bolan. Viiale. who is probably the most feared dc- fenceman in the Big Four circuit will be a noticeable loss to his teammates in those next few games. Opposing forwards on the other three clubs. however, will no doubt breathe a sigh of relief to know that they won't have to contend with Vita1c's bone-crushing checks during those sessions. . a . In his statement, President Hud- son said. "It is not customary to give a suspension for ordinary 10-' minuie misconduct penalties, but eight of them. plus a police re- port. plus a match misconduct is entirely too much." So big Phil gels the gate for three sessions. The match misconduct, awarded in :he Ciharlotieiown at Saint John clash on December 4th. was Viiiileis first this season. Bolan's suspen- sion was his second three-game award this season. the present one coming just four games after the first one. Referring to Bolan's sec- ond suapension. Judge Hudson stat- ed: "Apparently the first three-game suspension failed to teach him a lesson." President Hudson warned all clubs "that if the three-game suspensions have no effect on these players that they can expect to receive longer ones." . . The terms of the suspension will keep Viiale out of action in the game here tonight against Beavers, the Saturday night game at Hai- ifax and the next Monday game against Moncton which will be Is- landers home game that is being played at Amherst. Therefore Phil will be back in uniform again Tuesday in the clash here against Beavers and Wednesday's exhib- iiion t-ilt with Sydney Millionaires of the Cape Breton.League. . As a general rule suspensions usually don”t. effect home games. at least that is the way it has been earlier this season. -but in this in- stance. both Bolan and Vitale will 'be out for home games. the latter actually in two, if you consider Is- landers game at. Amherst against Moncton as such. Bolan will be nut in Beavers home game against Saint Mary's next .Monda.V. H15 other two games included last night's session against Moncionand against Islanders here tonight. He'll play against Moncton on Sat- urday. 0 The suspension may have more effect; on the local squad in the next game or two than would ordinarily be the case. The situa- tion of the Islanders rearguard division looked pretty grim at time of writing. According to coach Leo Lsmoureux. two more of his leading defencemen will be out of action for tonight's game against Saint John. Husky Johnny Duchak. who was out of the lineup here Tuesday night against Halifax as the result of a sore back. will not be in uniform again tonight while Larry Travis. one of Islanders Itaunchest rear- guards is suffering from a sev- ere case of flu. O I O 0 That Just leave; Lamoureiix with two regulars George Mc- Leizan and Kevin "Crusher" Con- way, and one spare defencemin. Jack "Spy" Ready in put back at ..the bluellne for tonight's game. There 'may he a chance of getting a temporary lifting of Vltale's suspension due to the circumstances of the situation. At least Coach Lamoureux was nego- tiating with President Hudson concerning the situation. although -no information as to what decil- 'ion was reached was forthcoming at time of writing. I I C 0 Speaking of ilelElICCHIl'l'i. Bob Gray. who performed with Syd- ney Millionaires last lesson. and was holding down is defence posi- lion with the Islanders earlier this season. was making his pre- sence felt on the Glace Bay Min- era lineup at the Cape Breton coal centre on Wednesd , night. Bob led the scoring parade for Miners In their 6-2 victory over Millionaires. garnering their first and Inn markers. Gray was ii -popular figure among fansx here when he performed with Island- ers this season. and although not with the locals any longer. many -here will be glad to hear that he is meeting with success in the Cape Breton circuit.

I wish to clarify my position as President of the lslanders' Hockey Club. and more particularly the manner .in whlch'I was elected. "I attended the large hockey meeting in the Legion Home. Some days before the meetlnz the provisional directors had ap- pointed a committee to prepare in slate of candidates from which an eight main board of director: was to be approved by the meeting. My name was not included in the original slate. but was one of those added by nomlnaLion from the floor of the meeting. "The fifteen names selected were duly balloted upon by the shareholders present and the eight directors appointed strictly in accordance with the Club's Act of Incorporation. Under the terms of the Act such a general meet- ing has the power only to elect the eight directors specified in the Act of Incorporation: and it is then the function of the direc- tors themselves to select a Pre- sident. Vice-President and other officersf : "It was to select its officers in legal fashion that the Board met last Tuesday night and as a member of the Board. I attended. By a majority vote I was elected President: Malor Rogers was elected First Vice-President. Ma- jor Rogers asked to be excused from accepting the position of First Vice-President and on Wed- nesday he informed the Board of his resignation, "I did not expect. nor did I make any effort whatever to ob- tain the Presidency. 'but was quite content and am still pre- pared to serve as a rank-and-file director if I can be of help to this fine Club.- "But because some dlssension seems to have arisen I wish the public to know that if a rep- reseniaiive number of sharehold- ers requests it I will call a spec- ial general meeting to give the hockey public every opportunity to express its wishes and desires- conccrning the Club. "I have been a friend of Major Tom Rogers for many years and his friendship means far more to me than the Presidency of even such it fine hockey club as "The of all Islanders'." .:...n.:..4 Bruins Slap 3-0 Shuloui On Canadiens MONTREAL, Dec.

The bus will leave this City in time to make connections with the 4:30 boat from Borden in iihe afternoon. and all persons wishing to reserve seats on the bus are advised to contact the Forum for their reservations. The three-game suspension of defenccman Pshil Vltale was also discussed at the meeting, and Dr. F.C. Dougan, Islanders Club Pres- ident, informed the meeting that he hrd beensin contact with Judge J. Elliott Hudson. Big Four Presi- dent. by telephone concerning the lifting cf Vitale's suspension for to- night-is game against Saint John here. The reason for the request is because two other Islanders' de- fcnccmen. Larry Travis and John- ny Duchak, will both be sidelined Y0? tonight's game. leaving the lo- cal club under strength in that de- partment. President Hudson assur- ed Dr. Dougan that he would give his request every consideration and would make a final reply by tole- gram later last evening. Vitale had been suspended for i-M96-Eames in a statement issued by President Hudson yesterday. as the result of incurring too many penalties in games this season.

In spite of the loss of Paul and Layton schurman who have gone to Sussex, the junior manage- ment is going right ahead with its plans. Punt Oatway, smart young defencem u from Borden, will be with the squad. we hear. and ii. player named Brsoken at the R.C.A.F. station in summer- slde is also rumored to be trying for a place on the team. Donnie Simmons is another addition to the squad. Three or four of last year's Kinsmen Midgets, who cap- tured the Maritime crown, are re- ported to have decided to by-pass the Juvenile division and play junior hockey. It will be interest4 ing to see how these youngsters make out in fihis leap-frog ex- periment of theirs. Frankly, we'll be surprised if this aggregation knocks over any club of any importance in their rush for provincial and Maritime honors. But there's no reason for the backers of the team to be particularly discouraged becauseof this. We've absorbed some terri- fic surprises in the past. and this may be another one in the mak- ing. We hope it is. Of course if Paul and cousin Laysh decide to leave Sussex and return to Summerside, there would be a slightly different com- plexion on the slate of affairs. Again. if some phenoms are un- earthed at the local airport or elsewhere. the picture would once more beconslderahly changed. As you can see. we're fortifylng our- selves with alirbis so that nobody can hand us the razziberry i the Summerside juniors do oover themselves 'with glory next spring. We note with some regret that the Summerslde Kinsmen will not sponsor midget and juvenile hockey this year. The Kinsmen have done it wonderful job with both these divisions in the past few years. and have won three Maritime titles. twice with the midgets and once with the juve- niles. Now that they are to re- strict their activities to the ban- tams. pee-wees and paperweights. they will not be concerned with two or three-province crowns, as Island titles will be ihe bull's- cye at which they will be shoot- ing. Though they will probably get less publicity and acclaim in their work with the younger boys. they will be doing a very import- iant job nevertheless. It is im- portant to keep these pre-teen kids busy at such a healthful and worthwhile sport as hockey. It gives them an early start in the appreciation of sportsmanship and co-operative effort. when the chips are down in- stead of on their shoulders these Islanders of ours are the goods. aren't they? Just when a lot of people were beginning to think that maybe the Halifax St. Marys were playing first fiddle in the quartet known as the "Big Four" after all, I..amoureux's buokaroos get hot and score seven goals on Daoust. Congratulations to John-nyi Horeck for winning the Henderson and Oudmore hat with the hat trick. Now bring on those at. John Beavers. They seem to be the toughest outfit that the Islanders have to deal with. and we pre- dict that tonight's game will be one of the most exciting contests seen at the Forum this season.
