THE FANS’ CORNER
Who is the best looking player in the NHL? SANDRA SEIDL, working girl, El Paso, Texas: “Jimmy Peters of the Los Angeles Kings. He’s beautiful. I think a lot of girls look in the program first to see which of guys are single. Not that they are attainable, but just the idea that they’re available. The ones that are young and good-looking are the ones we watch. Jimmy is this. He’s also a good, promising player, I think, though I don’t know the game too well. I’ve seen my first game since I’ve been vacationing in Los Angeles but I hope to come back to see more. And to see Jimmy Peters again”. HELEN PALMER, Model, New York, N.Y.: “Rod Gilbert is the most.

Missing Playoffs Will Force Wings To Break Up Record - Breaking Line
DETROIT, Mich.— Despite the collapse at the end and the third straight non-play-off finish, it was a record-setting year for the Red Wings. Because of that collapse, some changes have been and will be made including breaking up the record-smashing Frank Mahovlich-Alex Delvecchio-Gordie Howe line. Red Wing general manager Sid Abel regarded the five game March trip that took the club out of Olympia for more than two weeks as a major contributing factor. The Wings, who had a great home record, lost four and tied one during the crucial trip. So next year, Abel said, the Wings will go back to their old custom of breaking into the March ice show run for one game.
