Toronto has brawn, getting by on what one rival manager calls "bull strength and ignorance." Montreal has Maurice Richard (TIME, March 3), still probably the game's No. 1 player; Boucher's up-&-coming Rangers have speed and depth; Detroit the league's best defense. The Boston Bruins, though weak on defense, have had few goals scored against them, largely because of incomparable Frank ("Mr. Zero") Brimsek, a goalie who has the knack of always being...
These two, who were boyhood chums in Poznan, personify Communist use of both brain & brawn. Balding, professorial Zaremba speaks six languages and worked as a clerk with the Nazi occupation forces as a spy for the resistance.

Michigan's sleight-of-hand repertory is a baffling assortment of double reverses, buck-reverse laterals, crisscrosses, quick-hits and spins from seven different formations. Sometimes, watching from the side lines, even Coach Crisler isn't sure which Michigan man has the ball. Michigan plays one team on offense, one on defense...
