That leaves the Rangers-the worst team in the National Hockey League, a team that has not won the Stanley Cup since 1940. For years, a tailor named John Gerecitano has shown up at every Ranger home game dressed in a leopardskin hat and carrying a trombone; when the game gets beyond hope, he plays taps. Surprise. Last week Gerecitano was nowhere to be seen in Madison Square Garden-only 15,542 fans who chanted "We're No. 1!" as Forward Rod Gilbert slammed in two goals and the Rangers swept into the N.H.L. lead by winning their fourth...
...N.H.L. Wingman Don Marshall was only one goal off Gilbert's pace. Goalie Ed Giacomin, 27, in his second big-league season, led in shutouts, ranked No. 2 in the average of goals (2.27) allowed per game. It was still a long way to the Stanley Cup play-offs-but at least nobody was playing taps for the Rangers...
...India: the Davis Cup interzone finals, beating Brazil, 3-2, at Calcutta's South Club. After beating the U.S. last month, Brazil's Edison Mandarine, 25, and Thomaz Koch, 21, might have expected to wipe up the court with the Indians.

That gives India the honor of challenging Australia on Dec. 26-and then returning home...
...slickly packaged Broadway sentimentality, shrewdly calculated to flatter middleaged, middle-class couples into thinking that their cup is brimming with sunshine and moonglow. The show becomes palatable for two surpassingly good reasons-Mary Martin and Robert Preston. They are charmers of seismic force and theatrical perfectionists to the fraction of a nuance. They complement each other's temperaments. Preston hisses energy. He is as restless and agile as a panther. There is no repose in him, and the world is a woman to be won. Mary Martin exists to be wooed. She focuses light, as a magnifying glass brings...
Judging from the lad's hard-charging form at halfback, England's World Cup champion soccer team will have a good prospect in another dozen years. One day a week, Britain's Prince Andrew, 6, motors out from Buckingham Palace with his nanny and his detective to mix it up with some of the local stars at the public playground in Cale Street, Chelsea. Andrew tears around the blacktop like a pale Pelé, but he does seem to be more careful than his big brother. At Scotland's Gordonstoun School a couple of months...
