Since the Yankees of today are the same club I guess you know the club as well as I do. Now don't let these first two paragraphs fool you. We aren't just sitting back getting over-con- fident.

"Abel, interviewed by a panel of Detroit News sports writers, gave His views on everything from Wings' last-place position to his delight that fiery Ted Lindsay no longer is with Wings. Wings, in second place in Dec- ember, have won only four of their last 25 starts and last veek- end tumbled into the cellar. Abel, 41-year-old native of Mel- ville, Sask, and for years a cbntre on Detroit's great Produc- #ion Line with Lindsay and Gor- dle Howe, was asked 3 Ye, was sorry Lindsay was tra Black Hawks--after the 1 7 season--before Abel took over as Wings' coach.

"As a former player, I hated| to fine them and take money they had worked hard to earn but I honestly think they deserved it| and I think they realized that too It was for their own good." Abel sald Wings' main need is for a couple of right and left wingers and a good defenceman. Abel, questioned as to whether the team captain was important to the team, replied: "Definitely. yes, very import- ant. Don't misunderstand me-- I'm not trying to take anything away from Gordie Howe (the present captain) but he's not the fiery-leader type. ANSWERS CRITICS "That's what you like As to criticism by some fans that Howe is being overworked and will burn himself out, Abel replied: "I know the question has been brought up a lot but I disagree. In my day as a player, we used to play 35 and 40 minutes a game and I played until I was 35 or 36 years old. It takes only a min- ute on the bench to get your wind back. Big Howe wants to go. He wants to play." Asked if is t hi nin |Our long lead saved us. | Western ny "Abel Admits Picture Brighter NHL Job No Cinch ties. Ryne Duren was beaned, then suffered some knee trouble. old It!

"We had seasons in the past where every club in the league made money," said Al Leader, president of the WHL since it became a professional operation in 1948. "We were down for a while, but certainly the league is healthier this year than it has been for four years."

That figure hasn't been reached than Dlarine. Abel said: "Definitely, As a player, once the game is over . . . you can go out and forget about it. As a coach you have the same prob- ni{lems recurring. You can't forget them. Also you have to face the newspaper men and the public."
