"This is one of the most amaz- ing feats in professional sport," says Campbell, 'I know I was - lamong the many knowledgeable scepticism when it was first an- nounced that Lindsay would try from the game for four years. But now I know I was wrong. Lindsay has done what I thought was next to impossible." Last October, when Detroit Red Wing' coach Sid Abel an- nounced his former linemate, Lindsay, was going to start the season with the Wings, Camp- bell said it would be a black day for the National Hockey League. . "At that time I didn't think it could be done without showing that the calibre of play in the NHL had deteriorated," Camp- bell explains. 'I, like many others, thought the game would suffer if a man of nearly 40 years of age could come back #\after being out for so long.

Ted Lindsay's Success Harry Lumley, who- toiled for Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and Boston during the Lindsay era, was Ted's most frequent victim. Lindsay scored 37 goals against him. Henry, who played for New York, Chicago and Boston; was beaten 35 times by Lindsay. . Lindsay's goals have resulted in 567 assists being awarded to 72° players with Howe gaining the most, 147. Sid Abel picked up assists on 59 Lindsay goals and Earl (Dutch) Reibel assist- ed on 33, including two when they were both with Chicago.

If Montreal were to win all three of those "games in hand" the two clubs would be tied in points. If they ended tied it would be the best goals average, both for, and against, that would decide fourth spot. At the moment this is held by Montreal. Oshawa has scored 202 goals, and have been scored on 216 times. Montreal have scored 190 goals but have only been scored on 186 times. This means that the Gen- erals have scored 12 goals more than Montreal but this total is in three more games played. But Mortieal have peen scored against 30 times less than the Generals so the average goals for and against is in favor of the Habs. However if the "Gens" can come up with a victory over Scotty Bowman's crew Tues- day, it would just about clinch fourth spot for the home- sters. The final home contest for the Generals will be next Saturday night, when the visit- ors are the St. Catharines Black Hawks, who are fight- ing it out with Ki:chener for that final play-off berth. Voting For Trophy A feature of next Saturday's game will be the fans voting for "the most valuable player to the Generals," this past season.

EDMONTON (CP) -- Curling brooms that make excessive noise or leave litter on the ice have been banned by the Al- berta Curling Association.

The OHA rules say the visit- ing club is entitled to 100 tickets during play-offs, and if the Generals hook up with Niagara Falls, that is defi- nitely all we will get, be- cause tickets in Niagara Falls are always at a premium amongst their hometown sup- porters, making nothing available to the visitors, other than the 100 adowed under the league rules... . General Manager Ken Campbell of the St. Catharines Black Hawks, tells us his star Kenny Hodge was under orders here the other night to stay on the ice and avoid penalties, because of the im- portance of the game to St. Kitts. Hodge took a lot of pushing around on two or three occasions but held his temper. However it didn't do him much good, as they sent him to the sin-bin any- way, which seemed a bit un- fair to the St. Catharines star, because he certainly was trying to exercise re- straint. cover the additional teams in the league.
