According to Herbie, Buffalo is the toughest team in the league. The team is a combination of last year’s Springfield and Buffalo clubs. The ‘army took over the Springfield rink for military purposes and Shore bought the Buffalo franchise, moving from the eastern division into the western division. The Caps were given an off-day yesterday to rest up from the hectic trip home from Hershey last Sunday when they arrived in town one hour after game time and did not get on the coliseum ice until almost 10 p. m. Then they were held to a 1 to 1 tie by Hershey.
