Burned Out Gunzo Plans To Be Back
CHICAGO— Walter “Gunzo” Humeniuk, the gritty and resilient exgoalie for the Chicago Black Hawks, suffered a serious loss in a recent $105,000 fire. Gunzo’s Sport Center at Roosevelt and Harlem in Berwyn was seriously damaged when a severe fire started in a store next door at 4:30 A.M. and spread rapidly through the five connecting buildings. Damage to his store and the tremendous stock of hockey equipment was extensive. Much equipment arriving for the new season had not yet been insured. As a result, Gunzo has sustained a heavy loss. However, the tough, little sportsman is fighting back as only he knows how. Working day and night, aided by his close friends, the dedicated Gunzo is beginning to bring order out of chaos. At this writing Gunzo is searching for a new location. In…
Court Rules Green Swung His Stitk In Self Defense
OTTAWA— In an unprecedented Canadian legal battle, Boston’s ‘bad man’ defenseman Ted Green walked out of court a free man after being acquitted on a charge of common assault arising from a stick-swinging incident on the ice.

The court ruled Green, who missed the entire 1969-70 campaign as the result of a fractured skull sustained in the altercation with Maki, was merely defending himself when he struck out at Maki by either punching or…
Delvecchio, Frank Mahovlich Aiming To Become Next 400-Goal Scorers In All-Time NHL Race
MONTREAL— Major league puck stoppers break into a cold sweat when the subject of the big shooters and their impending milestone goals crop up. They would sooner forget it. But not the men who are on the firing line. It’s their way of making their mark in big time hockey. Two such players are on the verge of carving new scoring niches with the approaching 1970-71 National Hockey League campaign. They’re Alex Delvecchio and Frank Mahovlich. Chances are both these Detroit Red Wing veterans will make it to their 400-goal plateau before Gordie Howe sinks No. 700, or Bobby Hull gets his 600th or Jean Beliveau notches No. 500. Both players have been inching their way towards goal 400 in the past two seasons. Delvecchio, with 396 lifetime goals, is nearest and will probably accomplish the…
