Original Toronto Star caption: George Armstrong, the famed Chief of the Maple Leafs, finds it is fun to be a coach - if you're winning. And his Marlboros certainly have been doing just that as the team leads Major Junior A League. Last night, Marlies romped over Sault Sie. Marie, 12-0, but bench-clearing brawls may cost Armstrong a suspension from the Ontario Hockey Association.
