Balance is the word for the Bruins. Their second line, almost as good as the Krauts, has Centre Bill Cowley, at week's end the league's leading scorer (15 goals, 44 assists). Their third line is not to be sneezed at. Neither is Defense Man Dit Clapper, sole remaining star of the Bruins' championship 1929 team, who has a better than even chance to end up the season with the league's Hart (most valuable player) trophy.

They kept their fingers crossed, remembering well that...
...matter of fact Hollott and Portland weren't the only Bruin defensemen there. Dit Clapper was there too. He didn't scrimmage, however, because he is still nursing a recent injury. Instead he just skated around the rink and managed to interfere with play a good deal of the time. Once we couldn't help hearing Art Ross fly off: "Dit, get the hell out of the way." Being the largest Bruin excepting Portland, Dit found this rather difficult...
