Canadians Face Tough Task a Says Ferguson

By SYD THOMAS

vancu-Btaunch Montreal Canad- iens can derive little cheer from the slightly pessimistic prophecy of Elmer (Montreal Herald) Fergu- son that the habitanls may win lfie title this year. but they will have a tougher time doing it. . . Canadiens aren't as strong as last season. while clubs like Toronto and Detroit are stronger. and Per- gie says darkly the lesgue~ race "isn‘t the set-up it seemed at the start of the season". . J-lowevcr. that wont discourage the brave bleacherites much.

Nevermore:

From the Toronto Star's Andy Lytle comes a plaint that artistry in sticknandling and teamplay is a thing 0f the dear bygone dfllli— slain by the new rules. The wia- ards of the blades and the educat- ed stick are being eased out none too gently by the gan ing scram- bles that characterize t e new type of hockey, until even the defence- men can look as good as the for- wards when they mosey up the ice. Andy has a suspicion that the rules were changed, not to improve the game. but to disguise the gradual wartime deterioration of the nat- ional pastime.
