Phil Watson Named Coach Of The New York Rangers

By Mel Sufria Canadian Press Staff Writer

NEW YORK. (CF) - Scrappy Phil Watson, who came to New York Rangers as a player 1) years ago because they were able to prove he was slightly more a Scot than a French-Canadian, Mondw realized his "No. I ambit- ion." He was appointed coach of; the National Hockey League team with which he starred as a play- maker for 12 seasons.

In going from the Canadians to help rebuild the Hawks, Irvin leaves a club he coached for the last 14 seasons.

”Mr. Norris made me a very at- tractive offer which I felt I couldn't turn down," said the 62- year-old Irvin. "Thars where I got my start in the NHL. I think Chicago is one of the best hockey cities in North America.”

Irvin said the attractive money offer was the main factor in his decision, but there was also the challenge of bringing up a tail-end club to high ranking. REPLACI-ZS EDDOLLS

Kilpatrick said the meeting to be held in Montreal shortly would be similar to one last year which arranged help from Toronto, De- troit and Montreal for Boston and Chicago. Rangers, who felt fairly secure at the time but sagged lat- er in the season. got nothing from that meeting.

(By W. R. Wheatley, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

(CP)-Dick Irvin, veteran hockey coach whose move from Montreal Canadians to Chicago Blacks Hawks was announced Monday, said ”we are

than third place.”

Irvin's appointment to a two-year contract was

president Jim Norris of the e last two National Hockey

a Black Hawk farm club.

Irvin's successor in Montreal has not been named.

Managing director Frank Selke

any decision and no announcement is likely until possibly mid-June.

Selke indicated, however, that the most likely candidates are in the Canadiens organization.

In connection with previous re- ports of Irvin's likely departure and his possible successor, Selke ruled out Ken Reardon. director of farm clubs. and Butch Boucbard. veteran defenceman.

”For personal reasons. and even for selfish reasons because of his value and experience as a coach. I hate to lose him ilrvint." said Selke. "We were together when he first came to Toronto from Chi- cagn in the 1931-32 season. Then he came to Montreal in the I9-ll-42 season and I followed him here four seasons later."

The salary offered Irvin is be- lieved considerably more than be has received in Montreal since Norris is willing to spend plenty to build the Hawks into a contend- ing club. There is believed also a bonus arrangement and specula- tion puts a figure of around 530.000 or more a season Irvin could make in all.

”I thought I had plenty of wor- ries this season. what with Rocket Richard getting suspended. the riots at the Forum. illness and in- juries to players during the play- offs and endless of other things." said Irvin.

"Then to top them all was the new worry whether to go to Chi- cago or not. Now I'll have to start worrying about getting the Black Hawks up higher in the league." Irvin. a native of Hamilton. 0nt.. played his first professional

son. Eddolls has been offered the coaching job with Buffalo Blsons of the American Hockey Leggue,
