He's fidgety. He doesn't say much. And he appears to be scowling at something or some- body whenever you look 2t him. But Johnny Bower has been the most effective goaltender in the National Hockey League this season, advanced years or no. His Toronto Maple Leafs were no more potent on the attack than they have been all seasun. But Bower made Frank Mahov- lich's 23rd goal of the cam- paign stand up for a 1-0 win over the back-slipping Montreal Canadiens Wednesday night. At this point in the schedule wacky things sometimes happen and so it was in another game. BOSTON'S BIG THREE Guy Gendron, Orland Kurten- bach and Forbes Kennedy are three fellows who have had more trouble than most on the attack this season. But playing as a unit they collected a total of nine points and Boston Bru- ins destroyed New York's play- off aspirations--if there were any--by belting 'the Rangers 5-3. Before 14,041 fans in Toronto Mahovlich scored his club's first goal against the Canadiens in four games, tipping in a shot from the blueline by defence- ALMOST ON THE NOSE-- Goalie Ed Johnston of the Boston Bruins knows just how close this shot comes to be- man Tim Horton in the opening Rangers fails in first period |Period.

Going under for the' fourth consecutive game, they remained two points behind the Black Hawks. And no longer is cut to one. "We have to win Sa' night against Chicago (in Mont- real) or the race is all over," said Montreal coach Toe Blake after the game. BOWER 'PRETTY FAIR' "We had the chances but we couldn't finish off the plays when in close," was his analy- sis. "'And don't forget a guy called Bower in the net, He played a pretty fair game." Redoubtable old Johnny took a stitch for a cut lower lip suf- fered in a first-period pileup. But he lowered his personal goals-allowed average to a tight 2.08 a game with his fifth shut- out of the season. The work for him and Montreal's Charlie Hodge was 26 shots apiece. Hodge and Chicago's Glenn Hall are well off Bower's 2.08 mark. But they lead in the Vez- ina Trophy competition. That is in reality a team trophy and Bower is behind because Tor- onto's alternate goalie Don Sim- mons has a sky-high mark. TRAIL CHICAGO The Canadiens were left with 78 points to Chicago's 80.

The Red Wings are 11 points up and the Rangers have only five games to play now, a po- tential 10 points. Gendron, a three-goal man going into the game, scored twice and added an assist.

WINNIPEG (CP)--It used to be that when the fairways be- came blanketed with snow, the average golf professional would hang up his clubs and go into hibernation until spring.
