 Win One
fBy limited Pressl


 The New York Rangers six was the only undefeated team in the National Hockey league today, hav- ing halted the Chicago Blackhawks' winning streak last night.
 Although defeated 10 for their first loss in five starts, the Hawks retained the league lead, one point ahead of the Toronto Maple Leafs. A fould by Earl Seibert gave tho Rangers a chance to notch their third straight victory. With only two minutes remaining in the sec- ond period, he crashed Larry Moly- neaux into the boards and was sent to the penalty box. A minute later Phil Watson took double relay from Bryan Hextall and Babe Pratt to register tic only goal of the game.
 Going Up
 The Leafs pulled out of their second place tie with the idle Bos- ton Bruins by blanking the New York Americans 10. Pep Kelly'S last period goal furnished the mar- gin.
 In battle between last placs clubs, the Detroit Red Wings overs whelmed MontreaPs Canadiens 7-1. It was Detroit's first win in fivs starts, and the Canadiens' fifth straight loss. The game was fea- tured by the sensational goal-tend- ing of freshman Harvey Teno, sub- stituting for Normie Smith. T he only shot he failed to stop was Rod Lorraine's hard poke in the final period after the Wings had piled up 60 lead. Detroit poured five goals past Willie Cude in the first period to clinch it.
