hdans Protests

Toronto Victory

By UNITED PRESS Manager Jack Adams of the Detroit Red Wings was preparing a formal protest today to National Hockey league officials following a disputed referee's decision during last night's game in which Toronto defeated Detroit, 2 to 1. The dispute arose in the third period with the league-leading Maple Leafs ahead, 2 to 1. Ted Lindsay of the Wings shot the puck past Toronto Goalie Walter (Turk) Broda, but Referee George Gravel ruled “no goal” because Roy Conacher shoved the rubber with his hand to Lindsay. Olympia Stadium fans were so incensed with the official's decisiop that Gravel required a police escort upon leaving the arena. Syl Apps and Howie Meeker scored the Leaf’s two third-period goals and the setback left Detroit without a vigtory in its last 12 Tames,
