U.S. Stuns Czechs In World Tourney; Reds, Swedes Roll
BERN— The United States’ hopes in the World hockey championships took a decided upward swing after the Yanks skated off the ice here with a resounding 5-1 upset of the Czechoslovakian National team. Twice beaten by the Czechs 6-0 and 5-3 in pre-tournament warmup games, the Americans pulled the biggest surprise of the 1970 tourney by dumping Czechoslovakia with a rousing offense and some solid netminding on the part of former NHL goaler Carl Wetzel.

They associate him with the rise of the Rangers from the nether regions of the National Hockey League standings, to their present state of prosperity. It was Jennings who openly raised the standard of expansion and who insisted on a nationwide coast to coast expansion instead of a limited type of arrangement, which was favored by the old guard of the NHL East. Today,…
