Scoring Leaders SPORTS on PARADE CANADIENS, BEATEN BY BRUINS 4-3, FALL TO SECTION CELLAR By WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER CANADIAN SEMI-PROS? Two English-born Canadians have been barred from playing on England's Olympic hockey team over a technicality. The players, James Foster and Alex. Archer, were ruled out because their transfers to English clubs had not been given by the CA.H.A. There are three other Canadians left on the English team and the fact that all five are being paid money in England for their hockey ability does not seem to have concerned the Olympic committee to any extent.

The eligibility rules for the Olympics seem to have changed considerably since the tournament at Antwerp when Jim Thorpe was deprived of all his medals and his name struck from the honor roll when it was discovered that he had played professional baseball the previous summer. Baseball is not even an event on the Olympic programme. According to a New York Times despatch, the American hockey forces arrived at Garmisch with the report that in their tour of Western Europe they had played against Canadians in all manner of disgufses. In London, they met a team consisting of 10 Canadians and two Englishmen. The Americans say this club was strong enough to give even the Dominion's Olympic sextette a battle.

The Olympic heads will have a real problem on their hands if the Canadian invasion of European hockey continues at its present rate, it is not too much to expect that the 1940 Games will see the somewhat ludicrous spectacle of two Canadian teams fighting for the Olympic title, one a bona fide Dominion sextette and the other composed of Canadian expatriates. It does look as if Canada will have a strangle hold on future Olympic hockey championships. DR. GORMAN WILL PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS Tommy Gorman resumes the managerial reins on the Maroons' bench tomorrow night when they tackle Canadiens and his first job will be in the nature of a diagnosis. He will have to discover what ails the team, for the players themselves frankly admitted after last Tuesday's miserable showing against the Americans that they didn't know the trouble or the cure.

Dr. Gorman, after he has diagnosed1 the malady, will have six weeks left to whip the club in shape for its drive in the Stanley Cup play-olfs. At the present time, the team is further away from championship form than at this stage last season. One year ago today, Maroons were 10 points behind the first-place Leafs, but notwithstanding, they were playing better hockey than they are now. Several bad slumps by the Toronto club have contributed much to keep Maroons up around the top.

Maroons have been playing spotty hockey, turning in a good game one night and a bad one the next time out. The forward lines are Dr. Gorman's immediate problem. Billy Beveridee's work has improved im measurably since the beginning of the season. Beveridge was something of a question mark when the schedule began but he has been brilliant of late.

The defence pairs have been penorming strongly and Stew Evans has played well all year. Conacher and Shields have both improved over 1935. While it Is true that Maroons have been unfortunate for the past six weeks in having no less than six bench managers, this department is of the belief that when Dr. Gorman applies his stethoscope to the case, he will find that the lack of punch on the front lines is the cause of the ailment. Last season in 30 games the Maroons scored 80 goals; today in the same number they boast but 59.

They had 51 tallies countered against them in 30 games last season and their goal against total is 62 at the present time. Obviously the trouble is not on the deience but on the attack to the extent of 21 goals difference in 30 games. Here are the comparative records of Maroons this year and last: 1934- 35 (30 games) 1935- 36 (30 games) ERNIE DUSEK TO SUCCEED Danno O'Mahonev. it appears, is ine card in the wrestling world.

(Friday.) Reginald Horner, brawny defence star of Toronto Maple Leafs, was reported in good condition early today from Poly clinic Hospital, where he was taken with a brain concussion suffered in the line of fire." The concussion was described as "probably not severe." There was a possibility, considered slight, that Horner's skull was fractured. Eight stitches were taken in an ugly gash on the back of Red head. I he wound was five inches across. He was semi-conscious for 15 minutes. Frank Selke, assistant-manager of the Toronto team, was optimistic after visiting Horner at the hospital.

Selke said the player had spoken to his wife by long-distance telephone, assuring her that "everything is all right and there is no cause for worry." There was no doubt in Selke's mind that the clash was an accident New York, February 6. ((B Reginald "Red" Horner, burly defence player of Toronto Maple Leafs, was in Polyclinic Hospital here tonight with head injuries believed to be serious after be ing crashed to the ice by Manager "Red" Dutton of New York Americans during a National Hockey League match. Reports that Horner had suffered concussion of the brain and possibly a skull fracture were not immediately confirmed. Red Horner Doctor Henry Class, who attended the player im mediately ater the injury, expressed the fear that Horner had a concussion but 'said he was uncertain as to its severity. The player was in a semi-conscious state for 15 minutes after the crash.

An x-ray, the doctor added, would be taken in the morning. Before he was removed from Madison Square Garden, where the Leafs were beaten by the Americans, 4-3, stitches were taken in two wounds on Horner's head. CONSCIOUS AT HOSPITAL. Reassuring, however, was the statement of the desk nurse at the hospital that big "Red" was fully conscious when he was admitted. Recalling the injury to Irvin "Ace" Bailev.

also of the Leafs, in Boston in December, 1933, officials of both teams voiced anxiety regarding Horner's condition. Bailey cracked his head on the ice after being dumped by Eddie Shore and his life was saved only after a long medical battle. The skull fracture he suffered ended his playing days. Hornci was engineering a tnree-man attack on the American goal when Dutton checked and dropped him heavily. The New YorK man ager's stick appeared to hook the Leaf player about the neck.

As his head struck the ice, the thud could be heard throughout the spacious Garden. He was carried into a dressing' room and Dr. Class, of the Garden staff, took stitches in wounds run nihg laterally and vertically on Horner's head. The wounded young giant then was hurried to the hospital, across the street from the Garden. Horner, only 26, has a rugged constitution to call upon if his in' jury proves serious and he faces an uphill battle.

He is one of the brawniest players in the ice sport. BAILEY INCIDENT RECALLED In the Boston-Toronto game that almost cost Bailey's life, in was Horner wno tooK matters quicKiy into his own hands to deal with Shore. There was prolonged discussion as to whether the bis de fenceman upset Bailey intentionally or accidentally. Horner decided it was the former. He raced up to Shore and knocked him unconscious with a blow to the chin.

The formation of the board has been hanging fire since the last annual meeting of the body but last night at an executive meeting at the Queen's Hotel steps were taken to organize the association with Norman Dawe as convenor.

Referees who have been active in the various groups affiliated with the Q.A.H.A. will be invited to join and it is expected that next year, when a system of grading officials has been set up, the parent body will name arbiters for all games. Two players in the City and District Intermediate League were suspended for the remainder of the season. Larry Burke, Montreal West, was set down for assaulting Referee Bolduc in a game against St. Francois-Xavier on January 20 while Player Lionel Leduc of Valleyfield was banished for ungen-tlemanly conduct during a game at Valleyfield against Verdun Imperials on January 2.

Close to a thousand fans waited in vain for East Angus, the league leaders, to make their appearance in a scheduled game with the Sherbrooke Amateurs and the fixture was finally declared off.

The Quebec Central special which left for East Angus to bring in players and supporters went off the track three times within the short distance of a mile. The trouble occurred between Ascot and East Angus. The train reached East Angus only at 11 p.m., too late to bring the players in for the game. Trudean-Gisler Team Wins Mrs. T.

JF) John ny Sorrell's lone-handed goal mid' way in the second period tonight gave Red Wings a 1-0 vic tory over Chicago aiacn iiawKs, and lilted tnem into undisputed pos session of first place in the Ameri can division of the National Hock' ev League. The battle lacked most of the thunder that characterized other meetings between the two rivals this season, but was ruggedly enough fought to give a season-rec crd crowd of 16,8.57 numerous thrills. Sorrell scored at 10.20 of the middle period after the Wings had been outplayed up to that time. He caught up with a loose puck to the right of the Hawks' cage and shot as he pivoted. Goalie Mike Karakas, his view obscured by players, had no chance on the play.

Chicago pounded 44 shots off Normie Smith, but couldn't score owing to a great exhibition by the wing goalie and a number or luckless shots. The Hawks bounced the disc off Smith 21 times in the first period, while Karakas had only eight shots to handle. Karakas had 31 stops for the match. The triumph gave Detroit a mar gin of two points over the Hawks in the division lead struggle and squared their account for the' season to date at three victories each and a tie. The teams: Detroit.

I ine victory was particularly fruitful the Americans as it hoisted them into third place in the Canadian division. It was equally disastrous for the Leafs, who, besides being unable to pass the Montreal Maroons for the group lead, saw two of their ace defence-men carried off the battle front Reginald "Red" Horner, bad man of the league, was injured late in the first frame when cross-checked very high by Mervin "Red" Dutton, New York manager and defence-man.

They carried Horner away in a stretcher with the Garden medico saying he suffered concussion, probable fracture of the skull in addition to head lacerations. Late in the final period Frank "King" Clancy, defenceman and spark plug of the Leafs, was carried off after a collision with an American. Four goals were scored in the first period of the wide open game, Nick Metz and Charlie Conacher counting for Toronto and Eddie Wiseman and Red Doran for Americans. Each team notched a marker in the middle frame with the honors going to Bill Thorns, of the Leafs, and Carl Voss, of the Amerks. the latter with Toronto shy a man.

Coach "Ace" Bailey brought his Blue warriors to town in good condition, confident they will provide McGill with sturdy opposition in the college inaugural at the Forum.

McGill holds both the International and Canadian intercollegiate titles. Varsity's last intercollegiate championship was in the 1931-32 season, only break in McGill's domination of the college ice title in the past five years. Gordy Mciklejohn is expected to resume his regular berth on the defence alongside Fred Wigle with Jean-Paul Elie in reserve. Hollie McHugh will be in the nets for the Redmen, his first contest this year, but Hollie has been practising daily with the squad and is showing all his last season's form. Varsity fell victims to McGill's prowess at the Forum here, last year, 5-0, but made a strong showing in Toronto, losing 4-2.

The Toronto squad has been making things hot for their opponents in the O.H.A. lately, losing a tough 2-1 game last week to Oakville Villans, and bowing to Toronto Dukes, league-leaders, 6-3, last Monday with the Dukes being forced to come from behind in the last period.

Graham and O'Neil Combine for Two Identical Goals, Second Winning Game SHORE DISPLAYS TEMPER Spilled by S. Mantha, Talks Himself Into 10 -Minute Misconduct Drouin, Gagnon, 4lcGill Tally By MARC. T. McNEIL.

Lightning, they say, never strikes twice in the same place. But Teddy Graham and Peggy O'Neil, of the Bruins, got together last night at the Forum to do a little striking twice in the same place and in exactly the same way nose out Can-adiens, 4-3. The result was that the Habitants thudded back into the Can adian Section cellar, as Amer icans superseded them in third Teddy (iraham place. Amerks effected the trick by beating Toronto, also by a 4-3 score, but where tney tnereDy did Canadiens a nasty turn by winning, they helped the idle Maroons to hold their first-place tie alongside the Maple Leafs. Graham, former Maroon defence-man, and pesky Peggy O'Neil, combined for a neat goal in the last minute of the first period to wipe out a 2-1 Habitant lead.

Then after Canadiens had laboriously come from behind to tie up the game at 3-3 half-way through the third period, Graham and O'Neil duplicated their previous tally in identical fashion to win the game just a minute and seven seconds after Jack McGill's equalizer. On both plays, Graham broke fast down centre, sent a pass to O'Neil on right wing as he crossed the Canadien blue line and Peggy's return pass put Teddy in possession of the puck alone in front of Cude, both times beating the Buswell-Lesieur defence. 'The only slight difference was that on Graham's first tally he had time to wait until Cude moved and then lifted the puck into the net over the goaler's falling body; while on the winning marker, he was right on top of Vilf and just batted the disc home. The Bruins finished strongly to triumph and assume third place in the American Section in a game that was speedy in spots, had flashes of vivid excitement and produced many a rugged bodily contact but it seemed to lack something, fire and dash, to make it a first-class hockey performance. It was probably due to Canadiens' own life-lessness; their play was minus swing and drive.

SHORE SHOWS TEMPER. But the game was distinguished by a glimpse of Eddie Shore in his old "bad-man" role. Sylvio Mantha, resuming his playing-manager role by dressing to bring his squad to full numerical strength in the absence of his brother, George, through illness, was the cause of it all. Playing only for a short while in the first period, Sylvio made his presence felt. In quick succession he sent Cooney Weiland spinning with a body-check and then tripped jbit Clapper and got away with it, then breaking fast to lead a three-man rush for the prettiest goal of the game.

CJapper, enraged by the trip, followed Mantha slashing at him from behind, but Sylvio soon outstripped him. Crossing the Boston blue line, Sylvio dropped the puck back to Aurel Joliat and went straight in at Shore. Eddie waited for him, set for a body-check. They collided and Shore went reeling to the ice. Joliat meanwhile sent a long pass to the goal-mouth, and Johnny Gagnon coming in like a bullet from right wing hammered the puck into the net, his headlong rush carrying him sprawling into the cage after the disc.

The whistle blew for the goal, just as Shore arose holding his face in his hand. He skated over to Sylvio and elbowed him. Mantha shook him off and ignored him. Eddie then appealed to Referee Rodden and apparently appealed so vigorously that Mike didn't ignore him, clapping a 10-minute misconduct penalty on him. Shore marched to the penalty box and kicked the boards viciously with his skate before entering the coop, and the crowd booed lustily.

DROUIN GETS PRETTY GOAL Gagnon's goal had put Canadiens ahead 2-1. In the second minute oi ulav. Bruins had jumped ahead as Red Beattie swooped in to bat home the rebound of Dit Clapper's shot from right wing. Nine minutes later, Paul Drouin evened the score with a pretty tauy. raKing joure Desilets' pass, he shot from 10 feet out a little to the right, picking the far side of the net with a hard, rising shot that beat Tiny Thompson cleanly.

Drouin was off balance for Graham body-checked him just as he let go. Then followed Gagnon's tally, and later Graham's first goal. Babe Siebert. the Flying Dutchman, put Bruins ahead again in the second period. After Cowley had made the play for him, Siebert stormed down the left side, and flipped a shot at Cude just as he reached Jean Pusie.

The rebound went wide to the left corner, Cude falling in making the save. The Babe went in after the puck and snapped a shot goal-ward from an almost impossible angle just as Cude was rising to his feet. The puck nestled in the far side Of the 'A he weight of five Canadien forwards finally told in the third cession, Jack McGill back-handing home a hard shot from close ranee to tie the score again, with help from Paul Haynes, Armand Mondou and LeRoy Goldsworthy, but Graham and O'Neil came bouncing back to spoil it all. And it might have been worse for Cude, with some luck, robbed Cowley. O'Neil, Clapper and Weiland of seemingly sure goals in the last three minutes.

Bruins were without Roger Jenkins and Charlie Sands. Jenkins is out with torn rib muscles for 10 days. Sands is nursing shoulder and knee injuries. They were replaced by Bert Mclnenly and Jack Riley. The former did not plav after the first period when he hurt bit knee.

The college count is based on a percentage system with the team having the lowest total time in a race gaining 100 points and the other points in ratio to time and the team with the highest point total in jumping gaining 100 points'.

Only objection comes from those who believe that cross-country and jumping are events worth more than downhill and slalom. In the Intercollegiate Ski Union this is covered by that fact that an additional 100 points are awarded for combined langlauf and jumping, thus making these events of greater value. General Notes in Brief The Viking Ski Club is preparing for the Quebec championships on February 15 and 16 and has sent out invitations for the title meet. Montreal will be strongly represented at the Ontario championships at Ottawa this week-end several clubs are sending the pick of their skiers The wail of those who believe that young blood is disappearing from the jumping ranks was quieted by the turnout of 52 schoolboys for Red Birds jumping First Promotions Made First promotions in competitors' zone ratings for this year were made by the rating committee during the week. Five racers were up-ped.

Sauveur in the Club Ski-To's annual open meet This is a meet from which the proven top-notch competitofs are barred and consequently one that gives the lower rated men a better opportunity. In meets where the three classes compete the runners are sent off in rotation. Class three racers go last and in downhill and slalom events the courses are almost invariably scraped and rutted by that time. Sunday's meet has been thrown open to the women's division, however. This comes as a reciprocal measure for the Penguins' open meet the following week-end, also at St Sauveur, allows class three men entrants.

Entries for the Ski-To meet close tonight at 3 p.m. and should be sent to L. A. Beauregard at 795 Wilder avenue, or Vic Gagne, 233 Notre Dame street west. No post entries will be accepted and the downhill course and jump will be closed to competitors on Saturday and Sunday prior to the meet.

Palmquist Trophy Race Only other Laurentlan competition this Sunday is the Palmquist Trophy Junior cross-country at Shawbrldge. This meet is run by the Vikings on the same basis as the schoolboy meets. This means that competitors do not have to be members of clubs and thus do not require zone cards. Miss Peggy Johannscn, who is a junior, may test her ability against the boys in the event The Team Scoring System There Is possibility that the intercollegiate team scoring system may not be used for the Laurentlan Zone championships next season. It is doubtful, however, if a fairer method can be found, no matter how long the zone representatives IlimiiTWgiJTKfflEii Cubs Down Indians, 5-1 Boston, February' 6.

(JF) The largest crowd of the current Canadian-American Hockey League campaign here, watched Boston Cubs overwhelm Springfield Indians 5-1 at the Boston Garden tonight. It was the Ctb's seventh unbeaten game and the fifth successive drubbing for the visitors. Little Bobby Bauer registered the first two Boston tallies. The others came off the sticks of Porky Du-murt, Alex Mottcr and Jerry Shannon. During the second period the Cubs had two goals called back, one at the request of their president, Weston W.

Adams, who said he thought Abbie Cox, the visiting foalie, stopped Bob Blake's short, he goal umpire, however, flashed his light. The Indian's tally was poked in by Hub Wilson, aided by Freeman Jack, in the second frame.
