Pontiacs Take 9-3 Win Over Zurich;
Back In First Place Tie With Forest
In a wide-open tilt, Goderich
Samis Pontiacs racked ; up their
eighth win of the season at the
Memorial Arena Tuesday night, de-
feating the Zurich Flyers 9-3 before
a crowd of over 900 people -larg-
est to witness a hockey game at
the local arena this season. The
win put Goderich back into a first
place tie with Forest. Each has
eight wins, but Goderich has two
losses while Forest is undefeated.
The game was Zurich's home
game and a large crowd from the
village made the trip here to cheer
their team.
Big stumbling block for the
Flyers was Gerry Hesse in the
Goderich nets. Time after time
Hesse turned back the redshirts
as they peppered shots from every
angle.
Goderich took a 4-0 lead in a fast
first period as Emms and New-
combe picked ,up singles and
Cruickshank scoed a pair..
Zurich made a comeback try in
the second period as Doug O'Brien
turned on the red light twice. But
Goderich - kept their edge, with
Williams, Cruickshank and New-
combe finding the mark.
Masonville got Zurich's final goal
early in the third period: Gode-
rich added two more before . the
end of the final frame on tallies by
Emms and Arbour.
Cruickshank led the local attack
turning in the hat.- trick. New-
combe and Emms each had-a'pair
of goals. Doug O'Brien was the
top man for Zurich, getting two
tallies.
A total of 13 penalties were call -

SNECalvert SPORTS cotuM
Fi#,cet7ergaa„s
This may sound like one of those trick
questions you hear on radio quiz programs.
And, in fact, . it is. Here's the question:
tx, _ "Would it be possible that the bi
in a Canadian sport during 1953 didn'tuh pt
pen in Canada -0 all?"
The answer isn't too difficult • Hockey is a Canadian sport,
and Canadiens were on both ends of the upset when the lowly
Boston Br ins, who had just barely scrambled into the Stanley
Cup play-offs, knocked the lordly'Detroit Red Wings right out of
he picture. It didn't happen in Canada, of course, because
the six games which saw the National League champions and
Cup holders unceremoniously shouldered out of the 'picture to
the amazement of every hockey fan on the continent, were all
played on U.S. ice. It was the sports upset of the year.
The depth of the upset -can be seen in a quick review of
�•� . the regular -season figures, in which Detroit won -10 games, tied
-4 two, and lost two against Boston. The record-setting Wings,
who won an unprecedented fifth -straight NHL title, also out-
scored the Bruins, 62 goals to 19, over that stretch: On Detroit
ice, where Boston won a key game in the Cup series last spring,
the Wings held a fantastic 27.2 margin over four seasons,
including 12 straight wins. But in the Cup series, Bruins
scored 21 goals in the six gams, the same number, by. co-
incidence, as did Red Wings.
The hero of the spectacular Boston triumph undoubtedly
was Samuel (Sugar Jim) Henry, the Bruins' goaler. Two years
before, Henry had been a spare goalie in the hockey camp of
the. Red Wings. When a call for help came from Bruins, the
veteran goalminder, who had failed in previous tries with New
York and Chicago, was sold -to the Boston club for a few •
thousand dollars. .
So amazing was Henry's comeback with Boston that during
the first year, 1951-52, he was named to the second All-Star
team and was third in,. the voting for the . National Hockey
League's Most Valuable Player award.
In the opening roupd of. the post -season plidyoffs he came
back to thwart the teatfi that had sold hit'n to Boston. In the
first three games against Detroit, Sugar Jim made i22 saves as',
Boston upset the defending -champions twice to take a 2-1 lead
in the best -of -seven series. -
°And when Bruins battled Canadians right down to the wire\
in the Cup. finals, it was the gallant Henry, hobbling on one '
foot, his ankle badly damaged, whir' hold the 'Habitant team at
bay, without 'W.goa I, . until one whistled past him . in overtime
of the fifth and final game t� give the Montreal team the title.
