Hawks Call 29 Players To Ice Camp
CHICAGO, Ill. There will be 29 hopefuls in the Chicago Black Hawk training camp, trying to win jobs for the coming NHL season. General Manager Tommy Ivan said four goalies, eight defensemen, six centers, six left wingers and five right wingers will check in on Sept. 19 when the Hawks open their Chicago Stadium training camp. Among the newcomers trying to win berths will be Camille Henry, 253-goal scorer who spent most of last season recovering from back surgery. Henry played only about half the year at St. Louis last season, scoring 14 goals.

Hawks’ Stan Mikita Proves Best National Hockey League Golfer
MANCHESTER, Vt. Stan Mikita is not only proficient at putting the puck in a hockey net but he’s also highly efficient at the game of golf. Mikita showed his superiority on the golf links here when he shot successive rounds of 74 to win individual honors in the first annual National Hockey golf tournament. Mikita’s two-round score of 148 was three strokes better than Bobby Rousseau of the Montreal Canadiens and enabled the fiery Chicago center to take home the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl for his efforts. Bill Jennings, president of the Rangers, presented the award to Mikita in the absence of the ailing Mr. Campbell. Mikita covered the 36-hole tourney course at the plush Equinox Golf and Country Club with some lusty tee shots and was especially sharp on the greens. Runner-up Rousseau…
