It may be longer than I expected before the expansion clubs approach this level. The inaugural turnouts were deeply disappointing. St. Louis swung with more than 11,000 for its first game, but then declined to around 5,000 for its second start. Wren Blair A Pittsburgh, the only new club to open with an A old “name", Montreal, did just 9,000, then fell off to 6,000 next out. Los Angeles drew 7,000 V and 4,000 for its first two. In Oakland, the y California Seals attracted 6,000 and 4,000 for its opening pair. At this writing, Minnesota and Philadelphia A have yet to hit home. They figure to…

NHL Player Of The Week
—IN THE WEST Anytime a player can pop three goals in a National Hockey League game he has to rate special plaudits around the circuit. Not too many NHL stars can put together three goals to accomplish hockey’s’hat trick’.
