By DON "BOOM BOOM" GRAVETT

PHILIPSBURG CHEVS sure made the EXETER
MOHAWKS look like a bunch of Young midget hockey
players in .the first 20 minutes of the game .over
NEW HAMBURG last Friday night. This CHEN( club,
which is piloted by "PUNCH" SC:IER,ER, threw a
real scare into the locals by slamming home three
quick goals before the tribe could get themselves um
tracked on the big iee sUrface, With the first game
of the series being forced into 10 minutes of over-
time, we think that it's only a small resume of what
is really to come in this best -of -seven series. After
our brief first game look af tiieir playing calibre, the
Chevs don't seem to have any real outstanding play-
ers, but to make matters worse, the whole bunch of
them are equally as good. We feel the tribe will
really have their hands full in this one. Win or lose
the series, at least we can boast about winning the
toss for the seventh home gain if it goes that far.
Manager BILL MUSSER called the right flip of the
coin after the first game in NEW HAMBURG. .
SPORTSMAN DINNER DESERT—We got big JEAN
BELIVEAU cornered after the meal at London's sport
banquet in aid of the crippled kids and found out
some of his personal ()Pinions of his occupation.
When the 205 pound giant stood beside us to give
his version on happenings in the world of sport we
couldn't help but feel like a can of sardines beside the
big fellow. However, getting back to the point, big
JEAN would definitely like to see DICKIE MOORE
cop the NHL scoring championship. Although the
"POCKET ROCKET" is high up on the list for his
feats, BELIVEAU apparently feels that the 'scrappy
little worker has many years in the big tin in which
to win the title while MOORE'S time is running out.
The crafty centreman felt bad about the senior
"ROCKET" getting hurt, especially after such a spec-
tacular start in the point race because he feels that
Father Time is catching up and he may never have
another chance like it to win the one thing he has
never before succeeded in doing ---winning the NHL
scoring title,'
'We found the big guy one of the most pleasing
athletes to talk to as his personality, manner of speech
(although in rough English) and appearance, all add-
ed in to make the greatness in him that he really
owns.
The PROS WITH THE TOUCH — CAMILLE
"The Eel" HENRY of the NEW YORK RANGERS
boasts the best -goals -per -shot .record in the NATION-
AL HOCKEY LEAGUE. In games played up to Sun-
day, February 16, the little sharpshooter .has scored
26 goals in 108 -shots for a .241 mark. The illustrious
MAURICE RICHARD has the next best record with
11 goals in 54 shorts for a .204 figure. It may be a
surprise to some but ROOKIE FRANK MAHOVLICH
of the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS has the third best
goals -per -shot record in the NHL. Mahovlich scored
18 times out of 104 shots on goal for a percentage
of .173. Not bad for a ,lanky yonngster in his first
year at the professional game. 'Two BOSTON players,
DON McKENNEY and JERRY TOPPAZZINI, are
close behind Mahovlich. McKENNEY scored 20 goals
out of 123 shots for a percentage of .163 while the
"TOPPER" had 20 goals out of 130 shots for a .154
mark. EDDIE KACHUR of the CHICAGO BLACK
HAWKS has the best record on his club. He scored
five goals in 37 attempts for a very respectable .135
figure.
DETROIT'S most accurate, goal scorers are
JACK McINTYRE and GORDIE HOWE. Mac's record
is 73 shots, nine goals, .123, while HOWE has a .121
mark as a result of 25 goals out of 207 shots.
CHICAGO's ED LITZENBURGER has had
mote shots on goal than any other players in the
NHL. Tall EDDIE has had 221 shots on the opposi-
tion's'goal, FLEMING MACKELL of the bean towners
at BOSTON follows with 219 shots. The injured
"Boom -Boom" GEOFFRION has had 210 shots on goal
while HOWE and ALEX DELVECCHUI of the motor
city club has each. fired 207- shots in the way of
rival goaltenders.

CUFF CLEANERS—LUCAN BANTAMS, under

in DUNDAS this Saturday afternoon at 5:30 p.m. . .
LES CANADIENS look to be. a shoo-in to win the
Stanley Cup—unless they meet up with the NEW
YORK RANGERS in the finals. JACK WEBER, local
Sports enthusiast, told. us that if the New Yorkers
did get pitted against the flying Frenchmen; it could
mean curtains for "TOE" BLAKE'S crew. Looking
over thestatistics, one can certainly see what he
means! . , . With the first week in March practical-
ly gone, baseball bats will soon be ringing out those,
home runs again. The fans are starting to buzz on
the 'ball front, particularly inf the AMERICAN
LEAGUE. In fact, one local Tiger addict is going to
