He's an executive in the game now and the nickname remains appropriate for, as assistant general manager of New York Rangers, Francis is constantly on the prow). He must have detailed knowl- edge of developing hockey play- ers, both inside and outside the far - flung farm system main- tained by the Rangers, and ac- quiring this information takes him into hundreds of communi- ties across Canada and in parts of the U.S. every season. He visits some several times a year to keep a close eye on the Ranger farm teams, from which come the players to build the New York team in the Na- tional Hockey League. And he probably sees more hockey games in a season than most fans witness in a dozen. The other Thursday morning, for instance, Francis flew to Toronto. Before he returned here Monday night, he had watched 13. hockey games at Leading Teams In Old Country Soccer Leagues LONDON (AP)--Standings of top teams in Old Country soccer) (including Saturday's games): ENGLISH LEAGUE Division I WTL F APts 20 9 8 75 22 49 74 19 710 19 710 17 912 17 911 Division II 14 3 Everton Liverpool Man United Tottenham Blackburn Sheffield Leeds Sunderland Preston Charlton Newcastle Coventry Watford Bournem'th Bristol C Carlisle Workington Gillingham Exeter 1715 7 49 Bradford C . 20 613 59 SCOTTISH LEAGUE Division I 22 5 3 76 20 5 5 70 18 8 5 71 18 7 6 85 2 (711 18 12.10 vision IV 21 910102 201010 68 1911 7 49 Rangers Kilmarnock Hearts Celtic Dundee Morton Clyde East Fife Arbroath Montrose 18 5 8 72 IRISH LEAGUE 1133 #8 ll 3 3 33 10 43 43° 1244 9274 Linfield 24 25 Coleraine Glentoran Portadown Ballymena 26 24 26 24 43 20 Argos Name Their New Head Trainer TORONTO (CP) -- Toronto Argonauts of the Eastern Foot- ball Conference Sunday an- nounced that Mert Prophet of Indianapolis has been named head trainer.

This helps them in selection of play- ers in the NHL draft and in making trades to strengtnen the Rangers. For instance, Francis pro- vides his chiefs with detail on such players as Rod Seiling, Arnie Brown and Bill Collins of the Toronto Maple Leaf farm organization, as well as on play- ers in the Ranger system. These three players came to Rangers in the trade that saw Andy Bathgate and Don Mc- Kenney of Rangers switch uni- forms with Leafs' Dick Duff and Bob Nevin. PLAYED WITH CHICAGO Francis, 37, was born in North Battleford, Sask., where he Started playing junior hockey while attending school. "They didn't have any sys- tem to help pay your school costs or your board and room and give you spending money when you: played junior hockey then," he recalled during a re- cent stpover here. "So I did some moonlighting. I played on Sundays for a team in a commercial league and they'd pay me every Sunday with a dozen eggs and a chicken. It wasn't much, but it kept food on the table for a while." Francis later joined Moose Jaw Canucks of the old West- ern Canada Junior League and reached the NHL in 1946 with Chicago Black Hawks. During 14 years as a professional, he played goal for 13 different teams in four leagues, splitting his final season between Spo- kane and Seattle in the Western League in 1959-60. Then he went to Guelph, Ont., as coach of the Ranger junior team there for two years, and two years ago he became Pat- rick's right-hand man here. RESPECTS SCOUTS Through his years as player, coach and executive, Francis has observed the hockey scene with a keen sense of judgment and he's come up with several hockey players There's just a shortage of fa- cilities. playing hockey now than' ever before, but we need more ar- tificial ice rinks. over a rock and find a guy that nobody's heard about.
