The game played Saturday was won by Schreiber, 3 - 2, and in both games the winning goal was not scored until late in the 3rd period, which gives an indication of how closely the two teams were mat- ched.

Punch Imlach took the big- gest gamble of his lengthy hockey career when he dealt the highest scorer in Maple- Leaf hockey history, to the Detroit Red Wings. Imlach admitted it "took courage to trade Mahov." Also included' in the Leafs' package .were Peter Stemkow- ski, Gary Unger and the pro- -- rights to Carl Brewer, In return, Toronto received Norm. Ullman, a_ perennial all-star, Floyd Smith and Paul Henderson. Tossed_in was an unknown named Doug Barrie, a minor league defenseman. As television lights glowed and cameras whirred, Imlach announced the deal. By now most readers have heard all of the standard remarks = and formed their own _ opinions. This scribe waited until the "daily guys" gulped down the last of the coffee and headed back to the office to meet their deadlines before cornering Im- lach and his assistant, King Clancy, to bring readers of The Sportsbeat an "inside story." Fortified with coffee and an almost full package of cig- arettes, Clancy explained the trade. "Look, you've got to give something to get something. Detroit didn't want to give up Ullman for nothing," said the 65-year-old Clancy. The situation on Brewer is that if the governors of the National Hockey League voted unanimously to allow him to return immediately to the league he could. However, Im- lach says Toronto, will vote against such a move, and therefore, Brewer will have to wait until December 18 before he can return to the NHL. He is currently the playing coach with Muskegon, Mich., and re- portedly. making "at least $40,060."

Ya know, I've never met a finer man in my life than Frank Mahovlich. He's a first. class individual and I'm going to miss him. "This trade will give him a new lease on life. I hope he will be a big cog with Detroit." Imlach, complaining about the coffee, moaning about lack of sleep, and wearing an ex- pression of pain whenever Mahovich was mentioned, also discussed the trade. He said: "I'm pleased. If I wasn't pleased with it I wouldn't have made it. "IT phoned Sid (Abel, coach and general-manager of the' Red Wings), at five minutes to ten this morning (March 4). I asked him if the deal was still on and he said yes. He could have backed out. "And there might be more trades -- as many as I can get. I'm going to keep Ullman, Henderson and Smith together. My other lines will be Mike Walton with Bobby Pulford and Ron Ellis, while Wayne Carleton, Dave Keon and George Armstrong play togeth- er. Murray Oliver and Brian Conacher will be spare for- wards." Someone asked about Jim Pappin, Leafs suspended right-winger. "The hell with him," snarled Imlach. Punch revealed that last summer he approached Detroit and offered them Mahovlich for Ullman, but they refused. He wouldn't admit Unger was the key to the trade, however, he did hint the deal may not have gone through without To- ronto giving Unger. According to Imlach the deal was two weeks in the making. Now, after Saturday night's game, which team do you faith- ful readers feel derived the most from "That Trade?"
