From Bantam to Pro. In Canada, where hockey precocity is commonplace, Bobby Hull was a stick-out from the day he played his first Bantam League game, in Belleville, at the age of ten. There are seven levels of competition in Canada-Peewees, Bantams, Midgets, Juveniles, Junior B's, Junior A's and Professionals; Hull skipped the Peewees, Midgets and Juveniles. Officially. Actually, confides Pringle, who played against him in the Bantams, Bobby freelanced. When the Bantam game ended, he would tighten up his laces and join a Midget team in the next game. After that was over...
Five days later, after the Red Wings had beaten the Hull-less Hawks in Detroit, Bobby was back on the ice. His nose was packed with medicated gauze, his eyes were swollen almost shut. He still played, and scored a goal, though Chicago lost. "Worse yet," says Bobby, "I got elbowed in the nose, so I had to go back to the doc next day when we returned to Chicago and get my nose set again."

More than any of his other records, more than his skating speed or the velocity of his slap shot or his indifference to the way opponents knee and trip and hook him, that performance in Detroit explains why Hull's peers as well as his public regard him with something approaching awe. Yet respect, even adulation, are intangibles. Hockey has also given Hull the tangible trappings that befit its reigning king. Chicago is paying Bobby $40,000 this season, and if the second-place Black Hawks can overcome the Montreal Canadiens' eight-point lead in the East...
Plus, of course, the farm. "I'm no city boy," says Hull, "and never could be. As soon as the season is over, I want nothing but my farm." Yes, but which farm? Bobby owns a 150-acre spread near Millbrook, Ont, two more of 100 and 110 acres outside Demorestville, the 330-acre Hullvue Polled Hereford Farms near Picton, and a half interest in the 240-acre Golden Hawk Hereford Ranch near Demorestville. Around those various properties are scattered his 540 head of cattle, including a prize Polled Hereford bull named Hardean Woodrow Masterpiece-one of whose heifers...
...credit. New York University Law School started a seminar on the subject for third-year men this semester. Students have also been probing Viet Nam on their own. The most extensive effort so far is a new book, Law and Viet Nam, by two 1967 Yale Law graduates, Roger Hull and John Novogrod...
