That tally, the 128th of Richard's five-year N.H.L, career, marked the first time since the 1944-45 season that Toronto cus- tomers saw him score. The game, giving Canadiens a one-point edge over Leafs in the standings, was one of a three- game card in which all six clubs into action, oor} Boston, the third.place Bru- ins edged closer to the top by whipping the luckless Chicago Black Hawks, 4-1. The victory feft Boston five points behind Toronto, New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings remained deadlocked for fourth position, two points behind Bruins, when |tne they played a 1-1 draw at New Pork. The Canadiens had staged a brilliant rally to tle the count at 2-2 shortly before Richard shot his 14th goal of the season be- fore a crowd of 13,816 at Tor- |p, onto, The Leafs, who held a tie and a 3-0 victory in previous games with the Habitants this season, seemed well on their way to ex- tending the streak, Wild Bill Ez- nicki, peppery Toronto winger, and Ted (Teeter) Kennedy shot them into a 2-0 lead in a rough- and-tumble first period. The Canadiens steered clear of the bumps in the second session, however, and the strategy paid off when Leo Gravelle and Billy Reay both beat goalie Turk Bro- da. With 41 seconds of the period left, Richard took a pass-out from Glen Harmon for the winning ecunter, Goalle Johnny Mowers' second comeback attempt in the Detroit nets just fell short of perfection by a "fluke" goal at New Yduk. The Red Wings grabbed a 1.0 lead on Sid Abel's first-period tal- ly and it wasn't until 7:01 of the third that Rangers got it back. Tony Leswick drew credit for the tally when Ab Demarco's shot de- flected off his stick into the De- troit net, Mowers looked like his cat- like self, _ The usual capacity crowd of 28,900 at Boston Garden watch- od their Bruins take an easy vic- tory over Chicago, winners of but oe game in nine starts, Veterans Il Cowley, Milt Schmidt, Woody Dumart and Bep Guidolin tallied jor Bruins while Red Hamill spoiled Frankie Brimsek's shut- ou [Tue wie seven By The Canadian Press Richard's goal which gave victory over Toronto le night allowed him to come in one point of leader Billy (The t, held scoreless.

And, as another step forward, the stewards at thelr 74th annual ses- Sion here yesterday named a com- mittee to study the ibility of us- ing a mobile labora to take the saliva tests, The proposal was made by Frank Wiswall of Saratoga, who suggested the laboratory could follow the cir- cuit since there are no conflicting meets. Wherever a state racing commission has had supervision over harness racing because of pari. mutuel betting, there have ey saliva tests, but at state fairs with out mutuels it has not been com- pulsory. The stewards, in approving the 25-week season, grahted dates to three associations not on the 1046 schedule and dropped one, making a net increase of two over this year's record of 13.

Accept Invite European Tour Edmonton, Dec, 12--(CP)--Offi- cials of the Edmonton Canadians, western junior finalists last season, announced last night that the club had agreed to accept an invitation frcm the Canadian Amateur Hockey hockey champio! at Prague, Czechoslovakia, in Feb- ruary. Herb Shires, director of hockey for the Canadian Athletic Club which sponsors Canadians, Said the club had agreed to accept provided final arrangements proved satisfac- tory. "We are now awaiting clarifi- cation of the complete arrange- ments," he said, The invitation was extended to Canadiang last Tuesday after being turned down by a number of other top Canadian sextets, including Cal- gary Stampeders and Hafnilton Ti- gers, winners and runners-up, res- pectively of the Allan Cup last sea- son, and the national junfor title- holders, Winnipeg Monarchs. The Edmonton youngsters will be faced with a difficult reputation to uphold if, and when, they sail from New York January 18 carrying Canadian colors into the European puck wars, Canadian clubs have almost in- varjable dominated former interna- tional hockey contests. Only once has Canada lost a major interna- tional amateur hockey series--that was during the 1936 olympics when goalie Jimmy Foster almost single- handed turned back Canadian puck- chasers to win the world's title for England. Canadians will be the second Bd- monton club to tour Europe. In No- vember, 1932, Edmonton Superiors, a senior team, routed European op- position, They won 36 games and lost one. Canadians' record last year was well above the average. They swept through the junior league schedule here without a loss, won the Alber- ta title in two straight games, con- quered Nanaimo Clippers of Bri- tish Columbia three games to one and ousted the Saskatchewan champions, Moose Jaw Canucks 4-1, before losing the western title to Winnipeg Monarchs 4-1. Monarchs eventually went on to capture the Memorial Cup. The club will make the trip with- out five mainstays of the team that bowed before Monarchs last spring.

But Canucks have added Norm Kirk, formerly of Nanaimo Clippers, Eddie Marchant of the champion Winnipeg Monarchs and Bob Gray of Oshawa Generals, Another new member to this season's lineup is Bob Goodacre, who is the leading scorer on the club this season. Goodacre and Goalie Johnny So- fiak, with the club last season, are the youngest members on the team. Both are 18-years-old. Holdovers from last year include Ron Ma- thews, Harry Groves, Eddie Thomas. Doug Anderson, Leo Luchinni and Slats Slater. Canadians will not strengthen the club from outside. Club officials said "we'll make the trip as we are."
