Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Time out! Maple Leaf Gardens' very first streaker won a standing ovation last night; electrifying the crowd as he showed off his red socks and sneakers. The athletic supporter's sign seems designed to encourage the Leafs but it seems the team didn't give a fig. After referee Roy Finn stopped the game and the cops led the streaker away; Leafs lost 3-2 to St. Louis Blues.
