MONTREAL. (GP) - Boston Bruins and New York Rangers are playing before substantially more customers-eight per cent in Bos- ton and 6.5 per cent in New York compared with last season-Presh dent Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League told The Canadian Press Friday.

A survey of league attendance for 120 games, compared with the same stretch lost. season. shows a big 3'7-per-cent drop by Chicago Black!-lawks. enough alone to pull the league total tender the mark at this stage I year ago.

The I20-game total this season is 1,121,014. it loss of 37.309 com- pared with 1,158,323 last season.

Montreal Canadians and Toronto Maple Leafs show small increases -A matter of standees since all games are seat-sellouts. Montreal is well in front with an attend- ance of 301,218, an increase of 746. Toronto is second with 250,517, up 186.

Detroit Red Wings. with seven consecutive seasonal increasesshoiv I log at this stage, 202,869 com- pared wlth 209,623 a. year ago. Campbell said this is more than offset financially, due to the sale of a. larger percentage of high- prlced seats. The sacrifice is in standing room. said Campbell. and
