Hawks Win Over Red Wings A Happy Moment For Ivan
CHICAGO, III.— The Black Hawks, off to a slow start after a third of the squad failed to shape up in time to reap the values of training camp preparations, finally showed signs of jelling into a workmanlike outfit in consecutive games with no less than the world champion Detroit Wings October 17 and 23. . First of the games on home ice saw Chicago succumb by a 5-2 count, but the signs of stirring were beginning to show as passes began to reach the right sticks and skaters showed up in the right spots at the right times more than in the four previous winless efforts.

Vic Stasiuk Called Up By Wings
Vic Stasiuk, right-winger with the Edmonton Flyers of the Western Hockey League, is bound for Detroit today, all set for a try-out with the parent Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League. The reason? It’s felt that Stasiuk’s ability (he stood ninth in the WHL individual scoring race with seven goals and six assists when the call came) will come plenty handy to the NHL champions, who are currently second to Montreal Canadiens by three points in the NHL race. As a replacement for Stasink, Edmonton will get from the Wings Don Poile, Bud’s brother who last season won the WHL’s rookie of the year award while playing with the Flyers. Stasiuk has been called up to the big time several times before, so the Detroit Olympia will have no terrors for…
