Bartoli Coach As Fort Wayne Rebuilds
FORT WAYNE — The Fort Wayne Komets furnished most of the midsummer news from the Inter national Hockey League within a space of just one week Ken Ullyot, general manager of the Komets, came up with the surprising announcement that he had signed Moe Bartoli as right wing and new coach and this was almost immediately followed by the not surprising retirement of four Komet veterans. There was no connection between the two events, however. Making the decision to retire from hockey were defensemen Lional Repka and Ted Wright, center Reggie Primeau and goalie Jerry Randall. All four had job situations in Fort Wayne which precluded their continuing in hockey and their retirement had been expected. Repka was captain of the team last year, made the AllStar team twice and played with the…

Blues Worried - Hall Serious About Retiring
ST. LOUIS — Here on the western slopes of the Mississippi, where the impertinent St. Louis Blues have stormed gloriously to the Stanley Cup finals in each of the first two seasons in the big time of hockey, there is a dread concern that the man known as Mr. Goalie, Glenn Hall, will not be back. If he doesn’t come back, the phrase St. Louis Blues may well characterize the feelings of this hockey-mad metropolis. The 38-year-old super-star, an 11-time All-Star and three time winner of the Vezina Trophy, has often threatened to hang up the big pads and retire to the farm up in Saskatoon. But the lure of the big cash — reportedly as high as $60,000 in his last season with the Blues, has always brought him back between the…
NHL Signs New Pact With CBS Television For Game-of-the-week
NEW YORK — The National Hockey League’s game-of-the-week and a possible future confrontation with the Russian hockey team will be seen exclusively on the CBS Television Network. The double assurance was consumated in a recent pact signed between the two groups in early August. No financial figures were disclosed, however. The NHL inked a similar agreement with CBS three years ago at a reported $3,600,000. It came up for renewal this year. CBS and the NHL announced that they have entered into a new one-year contract giving the network the broadcast rights to the NHL game-of-the-week during the 1969-70 season, as well as first negotiation rights to broadcast any international games which may be scheduled between the NHL and foreign hockey powers such as Russia, Czechos-lavakia, and Sweden. The announcement was made jointly by…
