When Howie Meeker made the long jump from amateur ranks at Stratford into the National Hockey League in a single season, he brought along an old hockey trick seldom seen in these days of helter-skelter play a sweep in front of the nets and a quick backhand shot accurately driven at the tiniest chink in the goaltender's cover. That play paid off for Toronto University of California Rugby, Hoop Teams in Action Tomorrow By HUGH WATSON If there is any truth in the old saying, "There is power in numbers," the University of British Columbia English rugby squad had better start worrying. The reason for this is the week-end invasion of the California Golden Bears.

The Bears will arrive in town this afternoon and they will be A III carrying 38 men with them. One rtrouna me Sporfs Map disappointing factor to coach Miles Hudson will be the absence of Ed Welch. Eddie provides most of the scoring punch in the Bear offensive.

McHale, running on Clint Conatser's ninth-inning single, forced catcher Hemsley to drop ball.

Maple Leafs last night when the rookie right winger with the crew haircut and the wide grin raced around the Detroit defense and picked a two inch gap left by goaltender Ralph (Red) Almas. That was the goal which gave the Leafs a 3-2 conquest of Detroit Red Wings after 3:04 minutes of overtime in the opening game of their best-of-seven Stanley Cup semi-final series. About three weeks back UBC's rugger squad journeyed to Berkley, where they engaged these same Calirornians in a two-game series.

The teams battled through a scoreless first period, then each scored a goal in the second and again in the third period. Roy Conacher got Detroit's first, deflecting a drive by wingmate Eddie Bruneteau. Vic Lynn evened it up for the Leafs, backhand-ing a close range shot past Almas while defenseman Jack Stewart game apiece it means that whichever team comes out on top in the two tilts to be played here will become the holder of the World cup.

Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins marked time today before renewing their part of the fight for the Stanley Cup which the Montrealers seek to retain in addition to their National Hockey League championship, already in the bag. Canadiens took the opening game of the best-of-seven series 3-1, Tuesday night and the second game will be played here this evening. The scene then shifts tp Boston for the third and fourth games.

Only a few Canadiens who saw little or no action Tuesday night worked out yesterday. They included Buddy O'Connor, centre-man out of the game for nearly two weeks with a fractured cheek bone. George Allen, Leo Lamoureux and Hub Macey. BOUCHARD BACK Big Butch Bouchard, rugged defenseman who went to the hospital Tuesday night with an attack of stomach flu, is expected to return to Canadiens' back line. Milt Schmidt of Boston came out of the game with an injured back.

He was hurt when he was Spilled into the boards by Murph Chamberlain but will be in action today. Manager Art Ross of the Bruins, ill himself with a stomach ailment, said he planned to use defenseman Pat Egan more in the second game. Ross also said he thought Fern Fla-mon, rooke defenseman, and the other younger Bruins were too "tightened up" in the opening game and will give a better account of themselves tonight. O'CONNOR OUT Coach Dick Irvin of Canadiens said he does not plan to use O'Conner and may not let him play until the fourth game in Boston next Tuesday. Whether O'Conner plays Sunday there depends somewhat on the outcome of tonight's game and whether Johnny Quilty keeps up his hot pace as substitute centre on the first line.

Headlining the card will be Jimmy Crook, Golden Gloves champ, and Jim Langston, Seattle Golden Gloves king.

These two fought in the local Gloves final in February with Crook copping the decision, but Langston went on to Seattle to win the Northwest title after Jimmy decided he wouldn't make the trip.
