The Name Is Familiar
TORONTO, Ont. THE OTHER HULL SAT in the lobby of the Royal York with an amused grin creasing his tanned face as he contemplated the flurry of excitemen which THE Hull was creating. A photographer was waiting to picture THE Hull with one of the new Canada Savings Bonds. There was a representative of a skate company lurking in the background. He and Bobby Hull’s business manager were discussing the blade which Bobby endorses. Would Bobby autograph a copy of his new book for this lady who will give it to her grandson for Christmas? He’d be glad to-except that she didn’t have the book. Oh dear, where could she get one? Is Hull really wearing those hose THE OTHER HULL which he displayed in the last issue Merely a ?5-goal man of…
Columbus Aims To Go Higher In Second year Of IHL Play
COLUMBUS, Ohio- Columbus was a new team in the International Hockey League last season and the Checkers finished last, which could be expected. If the Checkers do not improve upon the position this season their immediate backers and many persons close to the IHL picture will be greatly surprised. With a mixture of veterans and rookies the Checkers are shooting for a playoff spot and they visualize a rise comparable to that of Dayton, the last new IHL member, which moved from fifth to fourth to first in their first three years. In pre-season exhibition games, Columbus showed enough speed, finesse—and fight—to give a good indication that they will have not part of a cellar finish this season. One of the Checkers early achievements was an exhibition game victory, 6 to 2, over Nashville’s…
WORLD TOURNEY SOLD BLUES ON MARTIN
ST. LOUE, MO. – The most rewarding road trip the St. Louis Blues may boast about this season is the one William (Scotty) Bowman took to Europe last winter. Bowman now serves as top Scotty Bowman aide to Blues’ General Manager and Coach Lynn Patrick. Last winter he was in Europe to scout the World amateur hockey tournament. At the age of 32 Bowman has already strung together an impressive list of credentials as a shrew judge of talent on blades. His interest was aroused by a few of the Swedish and Czech skaters but his pulse did a little jig when he saw a lanky Canadian goaltender patrolling the nets for the Canadian entry. The fellow had quick hands like the legendary Billy the Kid, he played the angles like…
‘Power Clubs’ Portland, Seattle Setting Early Pace In WHL
SKATTLE, Wash.— There were some changes in the cast, but the show was basically the same in the first week of Western Hockey League action. The powerful Portland Buck-aroos, regular-season champions for a record three straight years, breezed to victories on the opening weekend, 4-1 over Phoenix and 8-1 over Vancouver. The Seattle Totems, second last season but Lester Patrick Cup champions in the playoffs, stayed with the Buckaroos by stopping Phoenix and San Diego by identical 3-1 scores. And so, in the early going, last season’s top clubs were still the teams to beat. The Buckaroos, already loaded with talent when training camp opened, added even more potential strength just before and just after the opener. Defenseman Wayne Smith, a husky one-time Denver University star who turned pro with St. Louis last season, was obtained…
