Playing before a small, mannerly crowd that seemed lost in the foggy expanses of the Garden, the Crimson took a 2-0 lead in a sloppy first period. Bobby Bauer scored off Jack Garrity's rebound at 5:18, and Parrot gunned a 35-foot slap shot that hit goalie Steve Holahan's stick with a crack and went...
...flew to Saigon for his eleventh visit-and his first in seven months-"to gain firsthand information on the situation." Wheeler went out of his way to blunt the growing criticism of the way that General William C. Westmore land, the U.S. commander, is conducting the war, and to slap down speculation that he might soon be relieved of his command. "A corollary purpose" of the tour, said Wheeler, "is to convey to General Westmoreland the great confidence placed in him by the President, the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff...
...fearsome. There is not one ounce of excess baggage on his 5-ft. 10-in., 195-lb. frame; physiologists have called him "the perfect mesomorph." He is the fastest skater in the N.H.L.

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...
Cornell came on in the third period primed to satisfy the blood-thirsty demands of the Ithaca crowd, John Hughes picked up a blocked slap shot by Pattison and found the range with a six-foot backhander at 0:29. The Big Red set up a shooting gallery around Diercks, and Brian Cornell collected a kewpie doll...
