Pat a hockey stick in his hand, drop a puck and that’s something else. Barkley turns into a policeman with an iron hip and a blistering shot. “When I’m on the ice, ” Barkley said simply, “I don’t like anyone.” Barkley does his job quite cleanly, however. He tallied only 27 minutes penalty time last season and had but 26 for two months this year.

Young To Quit ‘Bad Man’ Role
CHICAGO, Illinois — The man who blazed a stormy path across the National Hockey League for three seasons and set a league record with 273 minutes in the penalty box last year with the Detroit Red Wings is out to reverse his reputation as a “bad man. ’ The player is Howie Young, who this season is wearing the uniform of the Chicago Black Hawks.
