Surprising Form Beats New York Americans Ice Hockey Wars Continue

In United States

Montreal, Feb. 10.

Showing unexpected offensive form, the Montreal Canadiens slashed through the staunch defence of the New York Americans for a 5-2 victory in the national professional ice hockey league, providing 8,000 spectators with the biggest upset of the programme tonight.

Playing their usual speedy and excellent brand of hockey, the Boston Bruins, league leaders, defeated the New York Rangers, four goals to two, at Madison Square Garden 3 before 12,000 screaming spectators.

A slight return to form was shown by the Chicago Black Hawks, Stanley Cup holders, in beating the lowly Detroit Red Wings, 4-2, at Chicago.—United Press,
