THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, March 26, 1963 SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' a THE STANLEY CUP playoffs get under way tonight and yamhile the results of the last few games, over the final week- end of the schedule, can not be taken as any criterion as to #*hat may or should happen in the playoff scramble, they do stpply some interesting facts. For instance, Detroit Red ings won back-to-back decisions off Toronto Leafs and Gordie Howe clinched his NHL scoring championship -- by scoring right in Toronto, He got another one, his 38th, in Detroit on Sunday night, along with an assist, to fully assert his claim to the title and bonus. N.Y. Rangers finished up their campaign with an impressive 5-0. decision over Montreal 'Canadiens and in this one, the fact that tiny Camille Henry, Rangers' great "'goal-potter", came up with his 37th tally of the season, second only to Gordie Howe, was the big high- light. In Henry and Andy Bathgate, Rangers boast two of the best goal-getters in the NHL and it becomes obvious that with a little added bench strength and some defensive help for "Gump" Worsley, they'd be tough to beat. The 963 draft could see Rangérs add a lot of needed reverse power. Chihawks won in Boston, 4 -3, in their last game. Black Hawk goalie Glenn Hall captured the Vezina Trophy top goalie of the season but the fact that Bobby Hull lasn't in uniform for the Hawks would suggest that their londe Bomber is far from right -- and unless he is in top m for the playoffs, Chicago's chances are not exactly sy. Leafs are picked to retain the Stanley Cup and if nch Imlach's club stays healthy -- they should prove the dxperts right. ; x x x x ATTENDANCE at the National Hockey League schedule mes this past season reached the new record mark of 731,609 -- a figure which president. Clarence Campbell ad- its is just about the saturation point -- in other words -- ey haven't room for many more, Boston Bruins, who were the bottom of the league almost as soon as it got started, ll average 11,051 per game, as against 9,229 the previous ason. With Chicago and New York and Red Wings all en- ying substantial increases in attendance and Toronto Leafs d Montreal Canadiens continuing to set the attendance ce for the rest of the league, it becomes increasingly ob- jous that the NHL is not only "big business' but it's also a ry successful business. As long as this continues, about the ost hockey fans in the area can expect is perhaps the dition of one or two more clubs--at this end. But when it mes to embracing teams on the West Coast -- that looks be still a long time away. They haven't got that much key talent available, for one thing, and the compact week- id schedule enjoyed now by the existing NHL teams, is both pular and profitable. : x x x x BRIGHT BITS: -- The death of Davey Moore, following ing knocked into the ropes, when he lost his title to Sugar mos on Thursday night, has once again uncorked a flood criticism of boxing, cries for abolition of the sport, drastic anges in the rules, etc. One suggestion is to have four ands of rope around the ring, rather than three as used now. Some doctors, who viewed pictures of the Moore- mos fight, figure Moore may have sufféred his fatal in- ry when his head hit the bottom rope and "snapped" ck. The sport still has plenty of defenders, of course, but ® death of Moore, a clean-living athlete, will likely produce mm least some changes in the rules, or more strict observance of medical examinations, etc., both before and during the bouts. . . .

(AP)---Henry Points Title NEW YORK (AP) -- Bili Sweeney of Springfield Indians appears to have an unprece- dented third straight American Hockey League scoring title in his grasp, even though the In- dians have been eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs. Starting the final week of reg- ular-season play, the veteran centre is on top with 97 points on 38 goals and 59 assists, ac- cording to official league sta- tistics released today. Sweeney forged into the lead by scoring 10 points last week to take a six-point lead. over Hank Ciesla of Cleveland Barons. Ciesla had been tied for the lead at 88 with Art Stratton of Buffalo Bisons but he tallied only three points last week. Stratton managed just one and dropped to third with 89. Swee- ney and Ciesla are tied for the most goals at 38 whil'o Stratton tops the playmakers with 70 as- sists. Denis DeJordy of the Bisons the Western Division winners, continued as the leading goal- tender with six shutouts and an average of 2,72 on 174 goals al- lowed in 64 games.

"TI feel bi a ee ~ vad troit. mentally, - cally," said Pilous, We've bro- ken our slump and we took sec- ond by positive action rather than backing in. Now we can turn all our thoughts to stopping the Wings and the mighty Gor- die Howe." Pilous mixed up his lines over the weekend and said they would remain juggled for at least the first game against De- troit. He had Red Hay centring Me- Donald and Eric Nesterenko and Stan Mikita teamed up with Murphy and Ken Wharram. The third line includes Chico Maki, » Len Lunde and Murray Baiofur. Denis DeJordy, leading goalie in the American League, was called up from Buffalo by Chi- cago Monday as standby goalie for the first two playoff games. HEADS TOP LINE Howe remains the Hawks' chief concern. Although 35, w the league scoring title and is the main cog of the league's top- scoring line, Howe scored 38 goals while his mates, Parker MacDonald and Alex Delvec- chio, had 33 and 20, respecti- vely, for a total of 91 goals. The Wings' lone absentee is Bruce MacGregor who will be in Edmonton attending the fun- eral of his father. Howie Young, who filled in effectively for Mac- Gregor at right wing in Detroit's two weekend victories over: Tor- onto, is likely to move up again from his customary defence spot. The Wings will keep Eddie Joyal, whom they brought up from Pittsburgh Hornets of the American League on an emer- gency basis for the weekend games, The 22-year-old rookie scored one goal and set up the other two in Detroit's 3-2 victory over the Leafs Sunday night.
