Clanadiens fiave Five Rookies In Lineup _ For Crucial Game Tonight

MONTREAL. April 5 —(OP) — Montreal Canadiens. harassed from day to day with the problem of stopping New York Rangers, will have five rookies in the lineup in tomorrow night's fifth game of the best-of-seven Stanley Cup series.

Tom Johnson. defenceman from Buffalo Biscns of the American Hockey League, is the latest to get the call.

Last night's uprising by Canad- lcm and their 3-2 overtime victory nevertheless left them trailing Rangers 3-1 in games and eased only slightly coach Dick Irvin's dilcmma. ' Coach Lynn Patrick of Rangers ind no aiibis for the loss.

“Frankly I thought we were out- Jlayed," said Pitti~ic‘.:. "\‘Ve could ‘iave \\'On the game, I know. es- zecially in the overtime wlirn Buddy O‘Ccnir3r missed when he :ame in alone on goal. But at the some time I don't think we desrrv~ nd to win because we just didn't play well enough."

Same Range:-I Lineup

Patrick said he plans to dress the some 18 playeis he used in last night's game.

Goalie Chuck Rayner. who was out on the upper lip by Doug Harvey's shot and needed three stitches, is okay. the Ranger coach reported, and suffering no ill ef- ‘fects.

Patrick mentioned the frantic line juggling at the start of last night's game. Instead of countering the "Penttl Uimd line" with the “R.icha.rd line" as he had in pre- ceding games of the series. coach frvin of Canadiens started his ‘Miosdell line."

As soon as the puck was dropped. Patrick made fast changes. Irvin did the same, and in less than two minutes no fewer than four fly- ing changes were made. Patrick finally gave up.

"If this series continues until we get what would be our next jhome game.‘ I want to find out my statiis." said. Patrick. “'.lllie visiting coach must declare his lineup first."

Rangers’ haven‘t access to Mad- ison square Garden in New York for further games. so their "home games“ hereafter will be played on the apposirig team's ice..

The way the present series was arranged. to give Rangers two games in New York, their next home game would be Satnirday :ntg'ht——the sixth of the series if it goes that far.

nvin, showing signs of optinilmi, thought the fight showed by Can- adians last night can carry them is. long way. He discounted any suggestion bliiat theiosswould cause Rangers to crack now.

'10.‘. course it could act that way," he said. “but I can't string glong with that theory. That do- rm I-night spin" Rangers to even gremte: efforts. They are a fish?»- ‘ing team. remember. the pressure is still on us. Rangers can afford to lose ii. game. We can't.”

McNeil In God

Gen-y McNeil. rushed into the goal-tending job. will be back in the nets for Thursday's game. It was goalie Bill Durnan's personal request that brought olboiit the move. Durnan is still shaky from a head injury a month ago and said he thought it would be for the good of the team to make the switch.

McNeil. brought up from Cincin- nati of the A. H. L. for six games when Durnan was injured. turned in a stellar some that _mai.dhed Chuck R.ii.yner’s brilliant d1SP18Y 111 the Ranger nets.

In addition to Johnson and Mc- Neil. the rookie turnout will be iPuii Meger. B. winger up from Buffalo. and Bobby Frampton and Bert Hirschfeld, forwards recalled for the series from Cincinnati.

Meger made his first avppeararice In a. Canadian uniform last night

and turned in an acceptable per- fonmance.

Coach Irvin said today H13‘? Cslum Macxay. who plays left

wing on a line with Ken Mosdell and Floyd Curry, will likely be un-

able to play because of an 88' gravated leg injury- In that event Meger will be

switched to that line for regular _:_——:———-—-———:-:-—-

There is D. possibility Irvin may also call on Bud MscPherson. an- other Cincinnati chattel, for de- fence duty. If Macllberson is used he will be the sixth rookie tossed into the all-important series. Not one of them even saw Canadians training, camp last fall.

With Durnan and likely Macfisy also out, Canadiens will be short four regulars. Kenny Reardon is out with a dislocated shoulder and Rip Riopelie with a leg inlury.

Billy Reay is a playing cripple, able to "skate on one foot." as Irvin put it.

Defericeman Hal Laycoe has been used sparingly in the last two games because his mending broken nose still is vulnera.blc.

The defence problem prompted Irvin to call up Johnson, a husky 21-year-old youngster wei lng 185 pounds and standing six feet. He is from Baldur, Ma.n.. playing jun- ior with Winnlipe; and played with Montreal Royals of the Quebec senior League before turning pro and. going to Buffalo. 5. Ollldien farm. two seasons ago.

Irvin plans to pair Johnson off with Glen Harmon on the defence.

Jeers Greet “New look" In , Ball Uniforms

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., April 5—(AP)—Peers drowned out the cheers in a sample poll of major- league opinion on the "new look" in baseball uniforms, introduced at Hollywood.

In case you missed the pictures, the new suits. worn in the Paci- fic Coast League, are abbreviated.

Casey Stengei. Yank manager and former coast leaguer, has a definite opinion.

"You can say for me," said Casey "that Mr. Collins ( pro- sldent) should wear one greeting guests at his Brown Derby. And I-‘red Haney (manage ) had better take in few pounds off that stom- ach, or forget it."

Rowdy Dick Bai-tell. one of the old guard. now a Detroit coach. didn't think much of the new suit.

. Many fans were asking yesterday "what happened to the Borden

Nationals, Island Intermediate Hockey champions. at saint An» dreivs this week? Were the saint Andrews Senators so much better than the Island champs to beat them by such terrific scores in the two game series?" well. this col- umn doesn't know the answers to these questions either. and zil- though it is hard to believe that the New Brunswick champions are that strong. the scores of bum games will have to tell their own story, as we were not there to see what happened. 0 I C

It was certainly is landslide ser- ies victory for the New Brunswick pucksters when they copped off the opening game of the two-game. total goal series by a 15-2 count on Monday night and came back even stronger the following night to trample Borden under a. 19-4 shell- acking to take the round by a lap- sided 34-6 score. which sounds more like basketballthan hockey.

Whether or not Borden had just gone into a bad slump during tire series, or that Saint Andrews VJ.-J8 just that much better we do not know, but in any case they lost, and lost badly, which shows tliat the Island Intermediate division has a long way to go yet before they can expect to meet the stan- dsrd of hockey being played at other points in the Marltimes.

The heating: ‘however, doesn't detract from the fine performance that the Borden aggregation turn- ed in this season in Island play.

This column would like to ex- tend its congratulations to Gordie Kelly of Charlottetown, now resul- mg in summerside, for being chos- on as the most valuable player on the Summerside Crystal hockey team, runners-up for the Island Intermediate Hockey championship.
