QMJHL Clubs Suffering At Box Office
MONTREAL— Fan enthusiasm, long ticket booth lineups and packed arenas are not as prevalent with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League this season and most of the trouble can be blamed on the underae draft. Attendance has taken a drastic cut around the QMJHL circuit this season compared with the 1973-74 campaign.

Floundering Red Wings Rush In New Faces
DETROIT — With things going from bad to worse, the Detroit Red Wings decided to airlift some new faces into the Motor City in an effort to inject some much needed muscle into the floundering Red Wines. Called up from Virginia of the AHL were defenseman Frank Bathe. and a pair of right wingers — Michel Bergeron and Brian McCutcheon — who has already been up once this season. To make room on the Wings, rookie Earl Anderson and veteran Ted Snell were shipped out to Virginia.
