Wings Meet Conodiens
7 Tonight in Cup Ployoffs

MONTREAL. Mar. 81 (B.-
Detroit's Red Wings start their
final bid tonight to capture their
third straight Stanley Cup title
in the grand climax of the Ma
tional Hockey League season.
AS was the case the last two
years, the Montreal Canadiens
will furnish the opposition in
the best-of-seven final round of
the playoffs. The last two series
went the limit before the Wings
were acclaimed hockey's world
champions. But this time the
Detroiters are the underdogs.
The Canadiens rule favorite on
the basis OF their comfortable
finish on top of the Mills regu-
lar season standings. They had
a 24-point margin over the Red
Wings. who barely made second
place.
1t was the Canadiens. too. who
snuffed out the first-place hopes
of the climbing Wings six weeks
before the season ended. The
schedule sent the teams against
each other in three consecutive
games in seven days. The first
was a tie and the Canadiens
won the others.
The Red Wings also were on
the short end in their meetings
with the Canadiens throughout

the season. The Canadiens won
six at home and lost only once.
In Detroit they won two, tied
two and lost three.
The Wings go into the series
with several players below tor
physical condition. Defenseman
Red Kelly lost two teeth when
struck by a puck in Detroit's
Iwindup of the cup semifinal
series with Toronto Thursday
and his face still swollen.
Center Dutch Rebel has not
fully recovered from a shoulder
injury suffered several weeks
ago. And Defensemen Marcel
IPronovost and Larry Hillman
were reported still on the mend
from injuries.
Their string Of seven straight
MIL titles snapped by the Ca
lnadiens this season, the Wings
now hope to equal Toronto's ac-
Icomplishment of three consecu-
tive cup victories. The Leafs
started their run in 1947.

fashion.

The hearings will be resumed

BY the middle of May the
report should be

So said James j. Cox, the
young Alameda attorney whose
work as chief investigator un-

Testimony.
And so agreed Jack Hanna.
who as director of the State De-
Ipartment of Professional and
Vocational Standards is the key
man to watch.
Hanna will put into execution
whatever the committee recon-
mends. The only source of ap-
peal is to the man who started
the inquiry in the first place,
Gov Goodwin j. Knight.
Hanna was asked directly, in
the light of so much testimony
against Mccoy, if he would rec
ommend the ak for Mccoy.
Very firmly Hanna said this
would not be decided until the
