NHL TRADE WINDS STILL BLOWING
DETROIT, Mich.- In spite of all the off-season expansion movements and postdraft dealings, National Hockey League teams were still trading players off after the first two weeks of league play. The Detroit Red Wings were the busiest traders of the 12-team circuit. They first grabbed John Brenneman, a much-travelled forward, from St. Louis Blues for three promising farmhands. Then last week they turned around and peddled defenseman Bob McCord and minor leaguer Duke Harris to the Minnesota North Stars in exchange for Jean-Guy Talbot, the veteran 12-year rear-guard who was recently named the team’s captain, and minor league player Dave Richardson. The latter was ticketed for the Wings’ Fort Worth team in the CPHL. Talbot wasted little time getting into a Detroit uniform and played the next night against Boston. The North Stars dressed…
Schmidt Happy He Made Trade As Esposito, Stanfield Star
BOSTON, Mass.— Milt Schmidt tries to hide it but he doesn’t succeed completely in concealing that cat-and-ca-nary grin at every mention of Phil, Esposito and Fred sen field. Esposito and Stanfield are two of the principles Involved in Schmidt’s first official move as general manager of the Bruins last spring. He acquired them from Chicago along with Ken Hodge for Pit Martin, Jack Norris and Gil Marotte. At the time of the trade, Schmidt was subjected to some criticism for letting Marotte, a rugged and young defenseman, get away from the Bruins. Schmidt answered the critics simply. “You have to give something, to get something..,” he said. “Sure Marotte is a good young prospect and I didn’t want to let him go. Time will tell whether’ I was right or wrong.” It still may be too early…
‘Cold Weather’ Player, Boudrias In Right City
TWIN CITIES, Minn.— The partial-lyblurred portable television set drew-Andre Boudrias’ undivided attention, but only for a couple of minutes. He, and most of his Mlnne-sota North Star Andre Boudrias teammates were among a mob of people watching the seventh game of the World Series while waiting to board a plane at the St.Louis International airport. “I hear there’s a lot of money riding on the outcome of that game,” smiled the 5-foot, 7-lnch Boudrias (pronounced BOO-dreee-ah). “But somehow I can’t get too interested.” Maybe it is because 23-year-old Andre is actively engaged In making his living in a “cold weather” sport whereas baseball is usually played in above freezing temperatures. “I’ll tell you one thing,” continued Boudrias. “I’m tickled pink to have been picked up by a club this far north in the United States.…
Division Champs Flex Muscles
HERSHEY, Pa.- The Hershey Bears lost no time in letting Am e r i can League rivals know they intend to hang on to their Eastern Division title. Coach, Frank Mathers’ charges, getting a fine effort from new skaters in the ranks, blasted the Providence Reds, 8-1, in the cub’s season debut before some 5,000 fans at the sports Arena. Wingers Don Marcotte, Wayne Maxner and Bud Debrody chipped in with eight points in the get away game with Maxner, an import from San Francisco, hammering home two goals.
