Fighting Qualities

Two days ago champions started their comeback suspiciously, beating the Canadians, 3-0. To-night they again revealed fighting qualities, a strong defence and a tricky attacking force with the results that the Amerks were held to their second deadlock of the week. They were tied by the Rangers on Wednesday, 5-5.

For the first time, the Red Wings to-night showed something of the brilliant stick handling which last April made them supreme after their defeat of the Rangers in the Stanley Cup play-offs.

Featuring new combination: lines of Sid Howe, Glarence Drouillard Hec Kilrea; Marty Barry, Carl Liscombe and Howard Mackie, and Herbie Lewis, Gordon Pottinger and Modere Bruneteau, the Wings clicked tonight.
