Esposito Says Hawks Will Improve
CHICAGO— There is nothing to fear but fear itself, unless you happen to play goalie for the Black Hawks. And even that increasingly arduous task has not daunted the stem armor of Tony Esposito, who is back in the Windy City after going around the world to do what he could do in Chicago anytime during the hockey year—get shot at. After the frightening season he endured with the Hawks, the sports most durable masked’man had every reason to avoid the World Cup hockey championships in Vienna.
