ANOTHER RULE

Now il appears there is another
unwritten rule brought about by
the scarcity of hockey material.
Teams will ease up on body
checking.
Officials don't want to comment
on il. But an easing up on body
checking was noticed when the
Leafs opened against the Rangers
Saturday and again in Sunday
nights game here.
For Detroit teams which have
battered their way into three
successive Stanley Cup finals
with crushing body checks the
abandonment of this weapon
would be a major sacrifice.
There isn't team in the league
better equipped for body checking
than Detroit. with burly Pat Egan
