It’s not too difficult to pinpoint what caused the Bears slump. Through the early part of the schedule, the club’s top line of Michel Harvey — Gil Gilbert; — Chuck Hamilton packed the bulk of the…

Schmautz, who is 23, played 13 games with the Hawks last year on right wing with the Bobby Hull line, he impressed with his desire and hustle. Bob got-25 goals at Dallas last year before coming up to the Hawks. He almost got away from the Hawks, who had strings on him when they had a working agreement with Los Angeles Blades before that territory became part of the NHL. When the team disbanded he was sent to Seattle. But Tommy Ivan pointed out to the Blades’ management that the Hawks had first call on any player before they could be…
