...year there are twelve-with new clubs in St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Minnesota and Oakland, as well as Los Angeles. All of the new teams, regardless of geographical location, are lumped together into a West Division, while all the oldsters, including the Chicago Black Hawks, are regarded as East. Regular-season team schedules go from October through March with 74 games, and what will happen when the Stanley Cup play-offs finally begin some time next spring is almost too frightening to contemplate...
...tall, bulging with the kind of muscles it takes to bend a railroad spike between thumb and forefinger. Their team had already won its fifth National Football League division championship in seven years, and chances were, they could hardly have cared less that they still had one regular-season game to play against the Los Angeles Rams.

In the first quarter against the Broncos, George Jr. tossed a 67-yd. touchdown pass; the Dolphins, after nine straight exhibition and regular-season losses, destroyed Denver 24-7. Last week against the Houston Oilers, he completed all four passes he attempted-including an 80-yd. TD pass-and the Dolphins won their second...
Fair guess-considering that Blake's favored Canadiens trailed the ragtag Red Wings 2-0 after the first two games of the best-of-seven playoffs. The Canadiens were the defending Stanley Cup champions. They had won the regular-season National Hockey League championship (Detroit finished fourth), and they had wiped up the ice with the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-0 in the playoff semifinals. By comparison, the main thing the Red Wings had going for them was Gordie Howe, the alltime scoring champion (with 624 goals) of the N.H.L. But Gordie was 37 and slowing down; eleven other...
