Barnyard Buddies Stymie Eagles Meyer Good Naturedly Pays Up
SEATTLE— The funniest story to come out of Western Hockey League training camps is told by Dan Meyer, Salt Lake Golden Eagles energetic owner-president. The Eagles played their last exhibition game at Drumheller, Alberta, against the Drumheller Miners, augmented by San Diego Gulls’ Jack Evans and exChicago star Red Hay. It was a benefit to raise funds in aid of former RCMP Bill Cutts, Evans’ brother-in-law, who was once extremely active in the city’s youth hockey and baseball programs, now crippled by multiple sclerosis. “Late in the first period, we had a man advantage.” Meyer said. “Our power play had the Miners bottled up and the pressure was on. Suddenly, a fan leaned over the boards and put a small pig on the ice. About 40 pounds worth of squealing, frightened pork. Of…
Garvin’s Predicted Balance Shows In Early Flag Starts
PORT HURON— Two games don’t make a season but already Port Huron coach Ted Garvin has discovered what he knew about his club in training camp—it was going to be difficult choosing the makeup of this year’s squad. The Flags after two IHL starts have made their coach look good on his early-season prediction. They tied Dayton 4-4 before a record 2,860 in their opener and then toppled Muskegon 6-2. The balance Garvin spoke of was evident in the first two games. Eight different players scored the Flags’ 10 goals and all but two of 15 players who have seen action in two games have scored points. Both those players were defensemen, understandably. Dave Gorman, who led the team in scoring a year ago with 35 goals and 45 assists, is off to another…

Insiders Say Cat Won Battle With Ranger Holdouts
NEW YORK— Scuttlebutt around Madison Square Garden indicates that General Manager Emile Francis substantially won his fight with holdouts Brad Park, Walter Tkaczuk, Vic Hadfield and Jean Ratelle. Ratelle signed first, followed by Hadfield. Both played in the season’s opening game, but Park and Tkaczuk missed this initial contest. National Hockey League President Clarence S. Campbell was the arbitrator in all four cases and most observers believe the figures set by Campbell were the ones which were written into the 1970-71 standard NHL agreements the boys signed. “I am very happy with my contract or I wouldn’t have signed,” said Park. “Now I just want to play hockey.” Pro Sports Inc., which represented the four Ranger players also represented Oakland’s Carol Vadnais and Harry Howell. They dealt for Murray Oliver of Minnesota, but general manager…
