And, in fact, it is. Here's the question: "Would it be possible that the biggest upset in e Canadien sport during 1953 didn't happen in Canada ot oll?" The answer isn't too difficult. Hockey is a Canadian sport, and Canadians were on both ends of the upset when the lowly Boston Bruins, who had just barely scrambled into the Stanley Cup play-offs, knocked the lordly Detroit Red Wings right out of the picture. It didnt happen in Canada, of course, because the six games which saw the National League champions and Cup holders unceremoniously shouldered out of the picture to the amazement of every hockey fon on the continent, were all played on U.S. ice. It was the sports upset of the year. The depth of the upset can be seen in a quick review of the regular-season figures, in which Detroit won 10 games, tied two and lost two against Boston. The record-setting Wings, who won an unprecedented fifth-straight NHL title, also outscored the Bruins, 62 goals to 19, over that stretch. On Detroit ice, where Boston won a key game in the Cup series last spring, the Wings held a fantastic 27-2 margin over four seasons, including 12-straight 'wins. Bug in the Cup -series, Bruins scored 21 goals in the six games, the same number, by coincidence, as did Red Wings. , The hero of the sp | p was Samuel (Sugar Jim) Henry, the Bruins' goaler. Two years before, Henry had been a spare goalie in the hockey camp of the Red Wings. When a call for help came.from Bruins, the vetgran goalminder, who had failed in previous tries with New York and Chicago, wes sold to the Boston club for @ few thousand dollars. So amazing was Henry's comeback with Boston that during vice-principal, Robert McLeod, coach, J.C.

SPORTS ROUNDUP Marciano's Manager Moves; TV Sale Kills By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (AP) -- Boxing's most important social note of t season comes in the form of an en- graved card from Al Weill, man- ager of heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, announcing that he has moved his offices into a hotel suite on Manhattan's swank East Side. In moving his sud the champ.

N KITCHENER (CP) -- Kitchener fans were still trying to dig up $13,000 for a junior hockey fram- chise today but nobody seemed to know what they could do with it--if they got it. Severatl local business men and hockey officials have been scout- ing around for cash since Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League bought Kitchener-Waterloo Greenshirts of the Ontario Hockey Association Junior A league last week. The deal has turned into a snafu. : The canvassing for funds started after Tory Gregg, president of the OHA, told an executive ineeting that he heard the franchise could be bought back from Frank Selke, managing director of the Cana- diens, for $13,000. However, it appears it was just a rumor. Selke said in Montreal that he had never been approached about the proposed deal, After setting several deadlines to raise the money, Gregg. an- nounced that 5 p.m. today was the limit. Last-minute attempts to keep the Shirts in the Ontario fold were attempted Monday night. MONEY SHORT A local shirt company offered funds but the offer was nowhere near $13,000. Gregg said if anyone was inter- ested in operating the team they would have to be in Toronto not FSEELAS later than 5 p.m. today. OHA ex- ecutives are gathering in Toronto to attend the testimonial dinner of |W. A. Hewitt, secretary of the 'league. | A meeting of the OHA Junior council last week indicated the ' present Kitchener team, composed mostly of third-stringers and Jun- ior B players, will not be permitted to finish the schedule.

TRANSFER REFUSED " The OHA formally refused Mon- day night the transfer of players from the Greenshirts to teams in the Quebec Amateur Hockey Asso- ciation.' Frank Dilio, registrar of the QAHA, announced he had received the following telegram from Wil- liam Hanley, OHA business mana- er: . "Transfers of Tennant, Onotsky, Jones, Cressman, Vaughan, Hicks, Klinck, Joyce, Hillman have been refused by the OHA on the fol- lowing grounds: "1, Players should have been of- fered to clubs in the OHA. "2. Wholesale transfer of play- ers from one branch to another is not in the best interests of the CAHA (Canadian Amateur Hockey Association). known here, "8. Clubs operated, sponsored or controlled by the same professional interest should not be permitted to transfer players in this way." PLAYERS SCATTERED Nine of the Greenshirts were assigned to teams in the Quebec Junior League and one to St. Cath- arines. Before the OHA decision was George Dudley, secretary-mana- ger of the CAHA, in Montreal on auGther hockey matter, said: "We wi happens. It would .be up to the clubs concerned to appeal, through the Quebec Amateur Hockey Agso- ciation, to the CAHA registration committee." . have to wait and see what managing director | | Frank Selke of Canadiens said he | was wa*=g to see whether the CAHA would show whether it is running itself or is being run by the OHA in connection with the transfer of players from one CAHA branch to another.
