AG By THE CANADIAN PRESS New York Rangers' slim hopes of qualifying for the Stan- ley Cup. playoffs diminished further Tuesday when the club announced that flashy right winger Rod Gilbert will be side- lined for the remainder of the National Hockey League season. The fifth-place Rangers have won eight games and tied seven in 35 games this year. Gilbert, 24, a Montreal native, will enter a New York hospital Jan. 24 to undergo spinal sur- gery Feb. 1. Recovery is ex- pected to take at least six months. The five-foot-nine, 175-pound Gilbert aggravated an old in- jury last summer and has been playing with a steel back brace. Emile Francis, Rangers' gen- eral manager-coach, said the brace "has affected his breath- ing and, to some extent, his | stamina." | Gilbert played the full 70- \game NHL' schedule with the Rangers for the last three sea- sons, scoring 60 goals and pick- ing up 96 assists, He scored 10 goals in 34 games this year. The Rangers have been shuf- \fling players between the mi- jnors and the NHL at a rapid \pace lately. Francis Tuesday announced the recall of forwards Doug Robinson and Ray Cullen from the American Hockey League and forward-defenceman Rod Seiling from their Minnesota farm team in the Central Pro- fessional League. Centre Jim Johnson was returned to the CPHL. New York has added some muscle to the lineup for its next game Saturday afternoon against the Red Wings in De- troit. It acquired rugged Reg Fleming from Boston Bruins Monday in exchange for right winger John McKenzie. McKenzie will line up with the Richardson Rink Favored After First-Round Win By DAVE MILLER TORONTO (CP)--Ernie Rich- ardson of Regina, four-time Ca- nadian and world curling cham- pion, looms as the man to beat today as eight rinks take to the ice for three draws in the Tour- nament of Champions bonspiel. Richardson, curling with a Saskatchewan rink of Mel Perry and brothers Garnet and. Ar- nold, breezed through Tuesday's first round with an authoritative 7-5 win over Jim Sharples of Toronto. The victory was the first step for Ernie on the road to the tournament prize. The big west- erner, winner of every other major curling award, was a consolation winner last year but so far, a tournament victory has eluded him. But the Richardsons will have the problems today as they play world champion Bud Somerville of Superior, Wis. in the day's first draw. Somerville shaded Chuck Hay's Scottish rink from Perth 7-6 in Tuésday's opening draw. The young U.S. rink upset Can- ada in last year's world final. FALL BEHIND The Scots had hitting prob- lems early in the game and fell behind 5-1 after five ends. Hay finally got his rink untracked but the U.S. rink made no mis- takes in the final end.

But. in @ special slalom event Tuesday, Marielle, 20, scraped home only 15-100 of a second ahead of Miss Greene, Ottawa- born resident of Rossland, B.C. Christine Goitschel, 21, had to be satisfied with third place, more than a secofid behind the Canadian slalom star, Marielle was clocked in 88.69 seconds, Nancy in 88.84 and Christine in 89.98.

Dainty Canuck Dishes The Kings manager Ken Preston of Saska- tchewan Roughriders. But CFL commissioner Syd- ney Halter of Winnipeg was more optimistic about the sky- high cost of top draft choices in this year's college crop. It springs directly from the sign- ing war between the National Football League and the Amer- ican Football League, each bankrolled by rival television companies. "Who needs them?" asked Halter as he surveyed the long lines of college coaches, sprinkled with athletic direc- tors and professional club rep- resentatives, foraging for food. The fare ran from wild rice and braised moose to Canada goose, venison, pheasant, mal- lard and other delicacies. Halter pointed to Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the come-back team of Canadian sport in 1965 despite losing to Hamilton Ti- ger Cats in the league final. Winnipeg, he said, had latched on to enough training-camp cuts to make itself a contender. This was the eighth annual CFL wild-game meeting for the coaches' get-together. Few Ca- nadian faces appeared to be missing and all eight remaining CFL team coaches were ac- counted for. Jim Trimble, fired by Mont- real Alouettes and presumably busy shopping for a college va- cancy or even one of the four NFL openings now available, was one of the first to dig in.
