Wings And Leafs Fought In NHL's Memorable Series By JACK SULLIVAN pan 2k Press Sports Editor It seems only yesterday to some old-timers but it was 14 years ago that Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs engaged in one of hockey's most blood-thirsty, hatred-filled feuds. It was in a Stanley Cup semi-final series, won by the Wings in the full seven games. There are only three active National Hockey League play- ers still around from that blood- bath and, oddly enough, they're in the present Detroit-Toronto Cup final. They are the Wings' Gordie. Howe and Marcel Pro- novost and Red Kelly, then of the Wings, who joined Leafs four years ago. All the other players have called it quits in the big time, although Sid Abel of the once- famous Detroit production line with Howe and Ted Lindsay is manager-coach of the Wings. HOWE INJURED It was in 1950, when Howe, the big slope-shouldered right- winger, was just starting to make it big in the NHL. He was lost to the Wings in the series opener with a concussion, a broken nose, a fractured right cheek-bone and a scratched eye- ball when he slammed into the boards at Detroit Olympia. This incident lit the fuse for the gang warfare. The Wings vowed revenge for the man they had accused of sending the Floral, Sask., nifty to hospital, Ted Kennedy of the Leafs. The incident happened so fast that close observers were un- able to say exactly how it oc- curred Howe was going full tilt to check Kennedy when the Toronto player pulled up short and Howe plunged face first into the boards. Detroit players accused Ken- nedy of butt - ending Howe. League President Clarence Campbell .reviewed the films of; the incident before the next game and exonerated Kennedy of all blame. But the Wings didn't take that as official. KENNEDY TRIPPED Near the end of the second period of the next game Lind- say tripped Kennedy who ways handy with a quip, sum- marized the. officiating of Ref- eree Butch Keeling this way: The Lord and twelve apostles couldn't keep the Wings under control tonight." ley Cup blood - letting skirm- ishes and, be more in the future.

He told them how his father, a West Virginia public school teacher, 'told me I'd never amount to anything if I didn't get my education. "One night I took home $1,- 000,000 to show him--10 $100,- 000 bills. "The next morning he said: 'Harry'--he used to call me Harry--'is that real money?' I told him it was.
