...play when Chicago's Bobby Hull swooped in from left wing and scooped up the puck. Whoosh! he flashed across the Oakland blue line. Wham! he absorbed a brutal check from Seal Defender George Swarbrick that seemed to stagger him. Hull's shoulders sagged, his curved stick came up, and for the briefest instant, Swarbrick relaxed. Whap! Hull's stick slashed downward; 25 ft. away, Goalie Hodge could not even begin to react as the rock-hard rubber disk, traveling at better than 100 m.p.h., whistled past his knee into...
...N.H.L.

The Indians came to town dragging a 4-15 record and a 14-2 loss at Cornell behind them, but they skated hard all the way in a fierce, stick-slashing style that threw the Crimson off-stride until the final period...
