They announced the voting jresults in the various NHL trophy awards, for the sea- - %son's half-way mark, early this week, along with the selection for All-Star rating. In the midst of all this, {Doug Harvey was tops as the league's defenceman and 'also in line for the "most valuable" award. But last ynight a couple of other gents who rate, or certainly 'should, very high in that "most valuable to his team" #category, moved into Gotham and knocked the N.Y. Rangers out of fourth place. We refer to Gordie Howe fand goalie Terry Sawchuck. Shawchuck came up with this fifth shutout of the season and Howe scored his 22nd Sand 23rd goals. All this keeps Sawchuck in the running sfor the Vezina Trophy; puts Howe a lot closer to Andy {Bathgate in the race for top scoring honors and what {was more important to all concerned in Detroit -- it put {the Red Wings up in fourth place. They've finally pass- ved the Rangers, who paced by playing-coach Harvey, yhurtled to an early-season lead. At the same time last 'might, Chicago Black Hawks, with Bobby Hull and Glenn Hall their two stars, nosed out Toronto Leafs 2-1.
