boss juggled his forwards and
kept the line going with Abel,
Crosse Wares and young Art
Herchenratter filling in on occa-
sion. The new line performed
capably and so did Herchenratter
and defenseman Bob Whitelaw,-
who came up from indianapolis to
fill in at Motter's old place beside
Goodfellow.
II was as a unit that the Abel.
Crosse, Wares line contributed the
major share TO the Detroit cause,
however. The ferecheeking artists
kept the ever dangerous Apps and
Drillon in fairly close check for
most Of the night and even helped
bring laughter on the Leafs in the
last period when their aggressive
checking kept the Leafs penned in
their own ice much of the time.
The Crosse line was on the ice
when Apps bagged the Leafs first
goal. but that was not counted
against them. II was strictly on
goalie Johnnie Mowers and after

were doubly determined to win
and avoid having Johnny become
| the goat of the game.
/ Detroit had been riding for 10
minutes on the goal Giesbrecht
contributed on Bruneteau's pass to
right wing when Apps pitched a
shot from the blue line to tie the
score. Drillon had raced in from
the right to try and whack it
home but sgd Abel had him COW
cred and was riding him past the
puck as il rolled lazily toward the
Detroit net. 1t was the kind of a
shot goalies slap away 30 times a
might and Mowers TOOK a casual
+ cut at il and struck out as 1t
rolled under his stick into the net.
DRILLON SCORES
It looked like a Toronto Christ
mas when the poisonous pair OF
Apps and Drillon came back for
another goal just II seconds before
the end of the first period with
Drillon bagging it after Apps had
managed TO slip a pass out IN front
despite close check by Carl Lis
combe.
But Wares was still to be heard
from. The second period was only
five minutes old when colorful
Jimmy Orlando led a Wing dash,
which wound up with Wares pass
ins from behind the net to Abel
at the blue line. then whlzZing

Orlandos partner. Silent Jack
Stewart, started the rush for
Wares winning goal. Jack was
checked by Davidson at the Leafs
blue line. but the puck skidded on
TO be snatched by the busting
Crosse. who passed clear across
the ice TO Wares in the right wing.
Wares had Reg Hamilton between
him and the net with Broda guard
in. the corner of the cage, but he
blasted a shot that went right un-

an inch or so inside the post. That
was that.

Big Bucko threw his mighty
