Men Using Handkerchiefs to Block Out Tear Gas

Men cheer and cover their faces with handkerchiefs to block out tear gas which was dispensed by police during a Canadiens-Red Wings game to break up a riot in the stands. Fans began throwing various items at NHL president Clarence Campbell for his season-long suspension of Canadiens star Maurice "Rocket" Richard. Police broke up the riot, which had stopped the game at the end of the first period with the Detroit Red Wings leading the Canadiens 4-1. League officials declared the game forfeited to the Wings, which put Detroit at the head of the league.
