...transformed into the paradigm of a bipolar model. Along with that second bloc of teams come all the crises and machinations of the typical dichotomous set-up. Deterrance--the art of producing in the mind of a player the fear to jump the league--dominates the hockey scene. Bobby Hull fell victim to this threat when he was denied a chance to play in last year's Canada-Russia series...
...miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, at a murky depth of 220 ft. Using sonar equipment to locate the site and an underwater television camera to photograph the ship's remains, the team has pieced together portions of video tape to confirm that the Monitor's broken hull lies upside down in the water, partly buried under 3½ ft. of sediment. But the ruins of the ship are so fragile that attempts to lift them from the ocean depths would probably cause the 112 year-old vessel to fall apart, and for now it will have to remain...
...Chicago Blackhawk Bobby Hull is a perfect example of this changing attitude among athletes. I remember how he scored two goals in a Stanley Cup game against Detroit despite a badly broken nose. Yet when he went to the WHA, he bowed to the reality of financial exigencies. Athletes cannot make mythical tax paymenns. Thus, perhaps, it was only a matter of time before the shattering of the fans' illusion of men playing only because they love the game. Certainly pro players love their jobs, certainly more than the average professional, but they are still workers with wives and families...
...with the guests at a winter-games party thrown in their honor by Canadian Governor General Jules Leger at Ottawa's Governmenl House. Obviously enjoying their second official visit abroad together, the Phillipses even made a little history. Where Anne dropped the puck at a hockey game in Hull, Quebec, it marked the first royal visit to the French Canadian province since the 1964 separatis demonstrations against Queen Elizabeth. She scored a success with Hull Mayor Jean-Marie Seguin, who remarked, "She speaks better French than most French Canadians...
...uneven level of players inevitably produces imbalanced play. "You can still see good hockey on given nights in both leagues," says Hull, "but on other nights teams can stink." Earlier this season, for instance, the impoverished California Golden Seals skated into Boston like somnambulists. Losing 4-1, they challenged the Bruins' goalie with only 19 shots during the entire game-offensive ineptitude equivalent to that of a football team that cannot cross midfield more than two or three times in a game. The New York Islanders displayed their own brand of indifferent play through the entire season last year...
