Staggered By Trade, Head Says He May Not Show In Seattle Camp
PORTLAND, Ore.- In one of the more staggering trades of Western Hockey League history, the Portland Buckaroos and the Seattle Totems have switched goalies. Don Head of the Buckaroos, if he reports, will go to Seattle. Jimmy McLeod of the Totems opened fall training with Portland. The “if he reports” phrase is Included because Head’s first public reaction to the transaction was typical of the blunt netminder known, and not affectionately by opponents, as “the Big Bear.” “I’m not going,” he said from his Portland home. “I’ve spent the best years of my like In Portland and I’m staying here.” Now an Eastern authority of considerable repute warned years ago never to bet on hockey because “it ain’t got no form.” Despite this advice, it still seems a pretty sound bet that Head this winter will…
Cooke Vows Kings Will Surprise People
LOS ANGELES, Calif.- Following the formation of the six new Western Division franchises in the NHL, the Los Angeles Kings, because they had gathered together by far the youngest and least experienced group, were downgraded by one and all — from rival executives to passing hippies who wouldn’t know a hockey stick from a hypodermic needle. The Kings’ brass, owner Jack Kent Cooke, manager Larry Regan and coach Red Kelly, stood up handsomely under this assault on their senses. To a man they insisted they would surprise everyone. Halfway Hughes through their pre-season training camp at Guelph, Ontario, they continued to exude optimism. “There are going to be some mighty red faces around hockey after we’ve been around the circuit awhile,’’ predicts Cooke, who would have been optimistic if he’d been Caesar on…

Top Draft Pick, Baun Striving To Lift Seals
-PORT HURON, Mich.- Bobby Baun, literally the heart and pride of the California Seal defense, is a traditionalist, a believer that pride in accomplishment is important, but that pride of organization may well hold the key to success in the National Hockey League’s Western Division. “Tin pleased the way things are going here,” says Baun, the classy ex-Maple Leaf, “We have no abnormal problems. “But when you’ve got 20 players thrown together, having never played together as a team before, it’s tough to mold them right off the bat. —— “And it’s unfair to expect miracles in such a short time,” he adds. The big problem, as Bobby sees it, is that the Eastern Division clubs hold the obvious advantage of having been in business a long, long time, and each year those clubs come…
