Athletic purists faking aim on
tough guy names of yesteryear
PITTSBURGH (UPI) - The
purists are having their day in
sports and their influence has
extended to the appellations of
players. And more's the pity.
The proper given names of ath
letes appear in print these days
and it's enough to make di
hards yearn for the time when
a nickname described a man's
prowess.
Time was when sobriquets
conjured up images of scowl
ing, rambunctious athletes.
Rookies in professional football
quivered at the likes of "Bull
dog" Turner, "Tuffy" Leemans
and "Bruiser" Kinnard.
It would have been a loss to
sports, journalism had the
Black Hawks'
Mikita adds I
point to lead
MONTREAL (UPI) - Center
Stan Mikita of the Chicago
Black Hawks added a point to
his individual scoring lead in
National Hockey League action
today while teammate Bobby
Hull took over second place
from Canadien Jean Believeau.
- Mikita, with a goal and two
assists last week, has 59 points,
including 24 goals. Hull, who
pushed his league-leading goal
total to 30 the fifth straight
season he has scored at least
that many goals has 55 points
and Believeau is next with 54,
including 36 assists, the most
in the league. '
. Andy Bathgate of New York
Rangers moved into fourth
place with 45 points while Ken
Wharram of Chicago slipped to
fifth with 44 points.
' By pulling the biggest upset
it the season in defeating the
Stanley Cup champion Toron
to Maple Leafs 11-0 Saturday,
the Boston Bruins enabled the
goaltending team of Glenn Hall
and Denis DeJordy to keep Chi
cago ahead in the Vezina Tro
phy race. The two Chicago net
minders have allowed 99 goals
in 44 games for a 2.25 average.
Reg Fleming of Chicago had
his first penalty-free week of
the season but he still led in
that department with 110 min
utes In the penalty box.

Archie Moore tries being a poetic prophet

MIAMI (UPI)-Archie Moore,

Seattle Totems gain
gusto with wild week
By United Prots International
That high scoring Seattle
team pretty much dominated
latest Western Hockey League

The Totems had a wild time
over the past week, scoring
nine goals in one game and 10

Guyle Fielder, the league's
all -time scoring king, spent
most of the week .helping his
teammates Bobby Barlpw and
Del Topoll tire the puck into
the nets and thereby helped

Fielder added eight points to
his total and now has 15 coals
and a league-leading 55 assists
lor 7U points. Tins puts him 13
points ahead of Denver's Lou
Jankowski.
Barlow scored his third hat
trick of the season Sunday nicht
and has tallied 28 goals to lead
mat Department.
Topoll crabbed 10 points in
three games to rate as player
of the week and climb into
ninth place among league scor
ers with 42 points.

NEW YORK (UPI)-The Na

scoring leaders are the same
Wilt Chamberlain on too and
Oscar Robertson second but
there are some new additions
to the top ten this week.
Statistics released by the
league office today showed that
Cliff Hagan of the St. Louis
Hawks has moved into ninth
place replacing Wayne Embry
of Cincinnati and John Havli
cek of Boston has taken the
10th spot held by New York's
Len Chappell.
Chamberlain leads the elite
list with 1,553 points in 44

Hagan moved up with 900

spent 10 minutes on the side

129 minutes or more than two
full games, r
Denver's goalie, Al Millar,
incurred a $200 fine and a
stern warning from the league
president after losing his tern-!
per at Vancouver last Tuesday
and hitting another player with
ms suck.
Millar has played poorly since
then and Denver therefore has
no longer looked too good for
the rest of the league. Miliar,
who has been recalled by To
ronto, departs suit leading the
league's net -minders with a
2.69 average. But the once in
vincible Denver team appears
to be in deep trouble.
Denver, which led by 21 points
only a few days ago, sow has
a 13-point lead over Los Angel
es. Seattle and San Francisco
are deadlocked for third place,
three games farther back at 42
points.
Two of the league's six teams
don't make the playoffs and
Portland (38) and Vancouver
(35) seem likely candidates to
sit out the post-season competi
tion. Even If the rest of the league
cannot catch up with Denver,
the Invaders will no longer be
the automatic choice In the
