CLINTON, ONT Your Local ANTHES Dealer HARRY WILLIAMS IIII2-6633 II* CLINTON HEATING fink G-ASIXINE GREASES-MOT01,0111 t2C' WHITE ROSE Several aspiring young Clin- ton hockey players gained an insight into the life of an, NHL player, last Tuesday but were todl that a good education should still be their main aim in life. As guests of the Clinton Kinsmen, the youngsters who toiled in the club's pee wee hockey loops during the past season, were addressed by Lar- ry Jeffrey, Goderich, a mem- ber of the Detroit Red Wings and Bill McCreary, a rookie With the Montreal Canadiens, While he noted that turn- ing professional was the great- est thrill of his life, McCreary added that there were only 124 players in the NHL and told the Clinton youths to set their eyes on a sound educa- tion rather than a hockey car- eer. • He told the boys that they could benefit from participat- ing in sports, but advised them that "schooling comes first", noting that even for those pl- ayers who made the pro ranks, a good education was a nec- essity to get along in life after their brief careers in hockey had concluded. "Anyone who keeps up his academic standing h a s every opportunity for success," he explained, noting that it was now necessary to have a junior matriculation to become a fac- tory worker. "If you don't have a good education You'll fall behind in society," he warned. Reports On Training McCreary gave the boys and their hosts an idea of life at an NHL training camp, noting that the competition for places on any club was very keen among the 40 to 60 aspirants. He explained you could be the best of friends with the other players off the ice, but when practice started everyone was trying for a position and it was every man for himself. McCreary, who turned pro at the age of 19, reported the players were up at 7:00 a.m. and on the ice for a one and a half hour workout by 9:00, and this was followed by an- other lengthy afternoon ses- sion. "By 5:00 p.m. you are ready for bed," he stated. He also told the boys it was necessary for any athlete to lead a clean life and to keep in shape at all times. McCreary's address was fol- lowed by Jeffrey, who answer- ed questions the boys had sub- mitted in writing earlier in the meeting. When asked to pick the best line in the NHL, Jeffrey stat- ed there was no line that was particularly a standout in com- parison to others, adding that most teams have one good line. However, he added that Chi- cago'S line of Hay, Hull and Balfour, along with Detroit's trio of McDonald, Howe and Delveccio were possibly the best last year. Leafs The Best He paid tribute to the Tor- onto Maple Leafs when asked which was the hardest team to play, noting the depth of the team that ousted his club in the Stanley Cup finals. "They have to be picked as the best this year", he stated, adding their defence was also the best in the league. Jeffrey, who reported scoring 14 goals and 20 assists in his intermittent two-year period in the NHL, gave the nod to New York's Gump Worsley when asked to choose the goalie he found the hardest to score against. "I have a lot of respect for Gump." he added. As may have been expected, he also gave the nod to his team mate, Gordie Howe, when asked to settle the old argu- ment as to whether Maurice "Rocket" Richard or Howe was the better player. "Gordie Howe's the greatest of them all," he stated,' quoting from a song published about the six-time Hart trophy win- ner last winter. In answer to a question if WISE MKS WHO — COUNT THOSE PENNIES KNOW,WHERE TO GO WITH r THEIR HARD EARNED jai DOUG",, NEWS OF KIPPEN Howe was a dilly Player, Jef- frey stated, "I'm glad I'm not playing against him," Has Some Tricks The Goderich minor product then gave a few of the tricks Howe employs to discourage opposing players who would prefer to see him out of the way. He added that Howe was a "marked man" on the ice and had to have the tricks-•-con- sidered by some to be dirty— to maintain his effectiveness as the game's greatest partidipant. "He's tough physically," Jef-' frey added, and' explained that. Howe is able to hold off an opposing player with one hand and still shoot with the other. When quizzed as to the roughest player, the Detroit puckster said the nod would probably have to go to his team mate, Howie. Young, on his penalty record. However, he added that Young was not a fighter and told the attentive audience that the Red Wing defenseman would probably go the other way if another player dropped his gloves and challenged him to a fight. In answer as to where the best place to shoot, Jeffrey told the youngsters to keep their shots either on the ice or just inches above it and aim for the corners of the net. He added it was impossible to score goals if the puck -was shot over the net. When asked to cothment on the performance of Frank Ma- hovlich in the Stanley Club playoffs, the area puckster re- ported he felt the million dol- lar figure placed on his head at the beginning of the season was one of the main reasons for his showing. He noted that the fans heckled him in this regard, and Jef- frey explained that heckling fans could ruin a player's car- eer. However, he pointed out that the "Big M" had scored 33 goals during the season. Still Single In reply to a question con- cerning his private life in De- troit, ,Jeffrey reported he lived hi an ''apartment with Vic Sta- siuk, Alex Faulkner and Eddie .1f:wall,' along with two Detroit bachelors, who have had a to- tal of 105 Red Wing bachelors living with , them daring the past. He reported the men cooked their own meals and added, "pork and beans is our big specialty," However, he said the neigh- bors also supplied the players with food, although they took turns themselves in washing clothes and doing the dishes. The questioning concluded with, "what's your girl friend's name?" The players were thanked by Brian Heyes, Kin secretary, and were presented with gifts for their visits. The two signed autographs for all the players and three lucky youngsters won auto- graphed hockey sticks in a draw.
