If they lose, they're hurrying from school, on their bicycles, to the Hotel Gen- osha, for a glimpse of their newly adopted National Hockey League heroes. Just like waiting around for the peanut scramble at a picnic, the boys, mostly in thier early teens or younger, were on the alert and every passing athletic- type male was given a close scrutiny. And if he was a member of the N.Y. Rangers he was promptly identified. Goalie Lorne Gump Worsley and Rangers' top scorer Andy Bathgate were the main targets in the search but most of Kingston whipped the Thun- derbirds 5-1 Wednesday night to close out the season at Sault Ste.

And how can you score goals if your defence can't stop the other team from getting into your end?" Rudy Pilous Figures 'Goalies To Decide It driver's seat if they win the second game. But if they lose, the Hawks would have the ad- vantage as the scene shifts to Chicago for the third and fourth! games April 1 and April 3. If further games are neces- sary, they'll be played at Mont- real April 5, Chicago April 8 and Montreal April 10.

STANLEY CUP semi-final action resumes tonight, still in Montreal and Toronto and to the visiting teams -- Chicago Black Hawks and N.Y. Rangers, this is the big one. It's been done before and will be again, once in a long while a team even drops the first three games in a 4-out-of-7 series and still comes back to win out -- but it is pretty well accepted, at least by the neutral spectators, that if a team can win the first two games of a Stanley Cup series, they just about have it won. Coaches Toe Blake and Punch Imlach are both playingit by ear -- or via newspaper quotation -- each having been busy for the past 24 hours assuring any scribe that wants to listen and quote, that his team will have to play much better in tonight's game than they did in the series opener. Blake is "warning" his Canadiens they'll have to do better -- Imlach has even reversed his usual style and instead of oozing verbal confi- dence, is very cautiously suggesting that his boys will have to improve, or else. It's a type of psychological strategy frequently employed in sports, by coaches and managers, but it's hard to say whether or not. it has any effect on the eventual outcome.
