McNab Delves Into University Ranks For Statistician
DALLAS Central Hockey League president Max McNab didn’t exactly wander far and wide to find his new CHL statistician — he was going to school right down the road. Bill Adler, a 1973 graduate of Temple, claimed his master’s in psychology from Southern Methodist University this summer and crossed town to take over the CHL stat work. Former statistician Jack Weaver was released when the league office was moved to Dallas. Adler, a Philadelphia native, was a sportswriter and sports editor at Temple. “Bill showed me he had an intelligent working knowledge and appreciation of the requirements of the media.” said McNab. “And I have met very few people with Bill’s factual knowledge of every major sport. This knowledge has been gained through natural interest as well as active participation,” said McNab. Adler set up…
Caps Have Problems Both Winning Games And Attracting Fans

Selling tickets would settle some immediate headaches and give Capital Centre officials the patience required to wait for the team to shake up the league standings.

I guarantee you W’e didn’t lie about the…
MEET THE ROOKIES
The St. Louis Blues have had many rookies in recent years but none drew as much enthusiasm from management as defenseman Bob Hess. The 5’11”, 175-pounder who starred with New Westminster of the Western Canada League last season, was rated so highly by the Blues’ scouts, he was their No. 1 draft pick in the amateur grab-bag. The Blues signed Hess to a multi-year contract to justify their faith in the youngster, who was his team’s eighth highest scorer in the WCHL with 10 goals and 30 assists. He also picked up 104 penalty minutes. What did the Blues like most about Hess? His skating. Gerry Ehman, the Blues’ director of player personnel said, “We though Bob was the best skating defenseman in Junior hockey last year. He has the…
