Burns’ ‘Kiddy’ Hawks Flying High

NEW HAVEN— Gasoline prices today are a bargain compared to the price of success. Just ask New Haven player - coach Charlie Burns. Several times this season the Night hawks, who have been on ornearthe top of the AHL’s North Division all year, have threatened to run away from the pack, only to be slowed down by an inopportune series of recalls by the parent North Stars, desperately groping for a playoff berth. For various periods this year, the Nighthawks have lost the services of Jerry Byers, Blake Dunlop, Terry Holbrook, Rod Norrish, John Rogers, Billy Plager, Dave Lee and Fern Rivard.all of whom have served brief stints in Bloomington.

Harper Key To Kings’ Conservative Strategy

LOS ANGELES— They say that if they can get through February alive, they will get healthy in March. The players don’t say it, but manager Jake Milford and coach Bob Pulford say it.

Shakeup Continues At Top Among NHL Teams

MONTREAL — The mortality rate among National Hockey League general managers and coaches continues to soar. The hiring of Marc Boileau by the Pittsburgh Penguins last week as coach to replace Ken Schinkel marked the fifth coaching change in the NHL since the outset of the 1973-74campaign. Simultaneously, the resignation of Ned Harkness as general manager at Detroit was the fourth such change among NHL teams. Five NHL coaches — Schinkel. Ted Garvin at Detroit. Bill McCreary of Vancouver, Jack Gordon in Minnesota and Larry Popein of the Rangers — have been outsted this season, possibly a league high for a half year’s play. There appeared to be little security at the top in the NHL what with four GMs — Harkness, Hal Laycoe in Vancouver, Larry Regan in Los Angeles and Jack Riley of…
