The 38-year-old coach of the Bruins, one of the greatest centres of all time, figures he can perhaps help his team even at that age, and certainly he himself may feel better in uniform than merely standing around in "civ- vies," opening the door for players who aren't able 'o bring Bos- ton's name up out of the cellar position in the NHL standing. They haven't won a game since December 15th and the old injury buga- boo has belted Boston hard in the last few weeks.

The boxing business hassle in New York is warming up more each day. Chairman Julius Helfand of the N.Y. State Ath- letic Commission, has declared he will not back down, in his fight to wipe out the Boxing Guild of New York. Some promo- ters have already taken their TV fights out of the N.Y. State but he is sticking to his ruling that on January 15 and after, no fight manager who is a member of the Guild will be able to match any of his boxers for a hout in New York State. Charges that certain top boxing promoters have criminal records and that others consort with those who have criminal records, serve to direct the spotlight on this squabble which Chairman Helfand insists will be a fight to the finish.
