JENNINGS TOFEL-Zabriskie. 36 East 61st. The first exhibition since the death in 1959 of this protégé of Alfred Stieglitz takes a long look at the last 20 years of his career. During that time Tofel did not change much: he is always expressionist, always crowds his canvases with strange, misshapen humans and animals. His palette brightens, but the symbolism remains cloudy.

MORTON SCHAMBERG-Zabriskie, 36 East 61st. Schamberg was among the steely shield bearers of modernism in the Armory Show of 1913; five years later, in full battle with academicism and only 37 years old, he died in the great flu epidemic.

Back on Oct. 27, he had scored No. 544 against the Montreal Canadiens, thus tying Maurice ("The Rocket") Richard's alltime record. Now he was shooting for a new record and another entry to add to the eleven marks he already holds. Suddenly everything got much tougher. As a matter of pride, rival defensemen double teamed him, jabbed him with sticks and elbows, smashed him to the ice with vicious body checks...
