‘The National rfcckey iseague will move lflw hlsh gear curing trit- wees-end with tiiiee g_m.s sphed- uleo, featuring the openug en- counter for the Boston B.ui:is.

The Biu.ns are booked to meet Maple Leafs at To.o.ito tonight, willie M.nt_i"eal Can-ideas wall‘ take on Chicago black Hawks inl Montreal. Tomorrow New York ztangers Wid meet tile Red Wdlgé in Detroit.

Boston so far, l-iasnot yet play- ed against other NHL. teams, and as a result, eyes of sport fans are

fixed on the Queen City to see how the present holders oi‘ the Stanley Cup will shape up.

Les Canadians will try to score‘ ther first win against Chicago to-l n.ght, losing their first encounle: with Detroit a week ago, 3-2. Terry Reardon, a Habit-ants re- cruit from Boston Bruins will be dressed in the red, white and blue jersey for t-he first time. Reardon is replacing Lam between Toe Blake and ‘Tony Demers.

Should Rangers clefeot Detroit, some changes will take place in the league leadership. The New Yo.k team wood then have a hold cn first place, and provided

Canadiens defeat the Bis-ck Hawks, the hold would be unchallenged If the Red Wings defeat the Man- hattan heroes, they will only con- solidate their claim at the top of the ladder.
