Blades Suspend Howie Young After Walkout Over Contract
LOS ANGELES, Calif. When the season began, Howie Young was giving so many interviews about his deformation to sobriety, prankster Leo Labine was singing “Give Me That Old Time Religion” in the background and a smiling coach Lynn Patrick was saying, “Young’s talked about it so much, the stuff is even beginning to taste bad to me, now.” But when the Blades flew out for a three-game road-trip in mid-November, Young didn’t show up. Later, he explained, “My present contract was signed when I was drinking. I think I deserve a new one now that I’ve stopped. I just want more money to pay some of my bills. I just didn’t make the trip and you can tell everybody I’m not drinking.” Young is on the second year of a two-year pact at…
Bush Puzzled As Hornets Wilt In Two Overtime-Period Losses
PITTSBURGH, Pa The Pittsburgh Hornets can’t seem to stand prosperity. Off their early season showing at least, Eddie Bush’s skaters do not seem to enjoy the luxury of a lead. Or maybe they enjoy it too much. After four weeks of play and 12 games, the Hornets have already surrendered leads that have deprived them of victories. With wins being difficult to come by for the youthful Pittsburgh squad, they can use every triumph they can beg, borrow or steal. Two of these flagrant acts of generosity have come on the Wasps’ home ice and they have also been the bitterest. For they involved the divisional leaders—Quebec and Rochester. Against Quebec, the Hornets raced off to a 3-0 lead midway through the second period. The Aces stormed back to knot the match before the period ended. Then…

St. Petersburg May Secure Franchise; Greensboro Line Flies High In Scoring
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. The initial venture into this Florida city met with great enthusiasm and could be the forerunner of another Eastern Hockey League franchise award next season. Charlotte nipped Jacksonville, 4-3, in a spectacular game that went into overtime and aroused the local citizenry. President Tom Lockhart was on hand for the inaugural and was pleased both with the turnout of more than 5000 and i with the zeal of the crowd and the mayor to bring a club here next year. This city has a considerable number of retired people living here and they look for activities for their leisure time. Their first look at hockey brought great. praise. Lockhart will watch closely the response of the five other games that Jacksonville has transferred here for the season. The arena seats a…
