Since no team is out of the race for the Stanley Cup until it can no longer climb out of cellar place in its division, last week, with only five games to go, the hockey season was at its height. In the International Division-led by the Toronto Maple Leafs, with the Montreal Canadiens and New York Americans struggling for second place-the Montreal Maroons seemed destined to stay in the cellar. But in the American Division- with the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers well out in front-the Detroit Red Wings, in the cellar, were close...

Every time a goal is made, a red light winks. Last week the fast-passing Rangers were leading the red-light parade with 135 goals, seven more than their nearest rival, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Cecil Dillon, Ranger forward, was leading the American Division last week with 20 goals and 17 assists for a total of 37 points for the season. He stood, however, well behind the leader of the International Division, 187-lb. Gordon Drillon of the Maple Leafs...

...University of Toronto's thin-faced, reticent Dr. William Emet Blatz, who has charge of the Dionne Quintuplets' education, reported his charges were of average intelligence. Their mental growth was retarded by their premature birth, but they are now advancing more rapidly than normal children in everything except language (they are learning both French and English). Dr. Blatz expects that in a year or two their I. Q.'s will be between 95 and 105.

...Manhattan last week Hans Torkel Fredrik Lundberg told how he had made a complete magnetic survey of the whole Meteor Crater area. Mr. Lundberg is president of his own company in Toronto, but he is working at present for someone else, who prefers to remain anonymous. Using sensitive variometers (containing magnetic needles responding to large masses of metal), he went over the ground, made a "magnetic profile." This showed two humps several hundred feet southwest of the rim, the larger covering an area 2,000 by 1,500 ft. He believes that the meteoritic clumps corresponding to these humps...
