Black Hawks Say. Goodbye

By CHRIS ANNETT

The hopes ‘ei fears of thousands of. Chicago Black ‘Hawk-fans went down the drain and were respect- ively Tuesday evening as the red hot Red Wings from the Motor City scuttled the Hawks for season. This: was to be the season that the Tribe was going to take the works, especially since their esteemed leader Jim Norris had passed away but alas and alack the Hawks proved to be paper tigers once again.

However’ fans watching the game _got- their fill ot good

__ action packed ‘hockey and one has to admit that for a mom- entary lapse in the 1 session of play the Hawks were on about equal terms with the Wings. The Wings opened the game on a different note. from their hithertofore set pat- tern of playing Brian Watson on Hull, as Abel decided te go with his best offense. After they had opened up their one Boal lead the Wings went back to their defensive pattern of playing Watson against Hull but then switched back to the offense again in the third period when the Hawks were leading and holding their own.

Iron Man Hull showed signs of rusting a bit under the ceaseless observance of Watson and did little to help his image of a gentlemanly player as he went after the latter on a couple of occasions. Watson. needless to say would have gotten plenty of help from the old pros on the Wings but he shunted them aside and went it alone. It seemed at times if he was going to have his slight 160 pound frame battered into the frozen-water_as a succession of Black Hawk play-

, ers took runs at him but in the end he came out all right and

"a hero-in-the eyes of Detroit fans.’ 1

Watson is bound to be popular with Canadien fans, for the moment anyway, with some Dickie- Moore fans, for in holding Hull to a pair of goals and two assisis.in the semi- finals he preserved Moore’s NHL record for the .most points in a season (116), Hull ended up with 101. Several seasons ago Watson was faced with the unenviable task of trying to oust Claude Provost.from the Montreal lineup but he did

“not succeed. Not that he has proven that he can cover Hull as.

well as Provost and still score goals he is bound to emerge as one of the budding stars in the NHL.

HULL NOT DESPONDENT

, When Hull was interviewed after ‘the game he -did- not. :

express any disappointment in the loss but rather his joy that hockey for the winter had finally come to an end. Grant- ed he must be rather tired of bodies draped over him but it. ar the club’s image little good--when a player talks like

One wonders what a man like Hull is ‘playing hockey for if he is so anxious to get out of the game as he has an- nounced he will" do following -next -year.He-—has. reached - the top of the heap as far as scoring goes and is generally accepted as being one of the greatest players in the game. The money does not mean that much to him as he is drawing a fabulous amount from his endorsemerts and this could be hurting his play. Players who need the playoff money suffered to-say the least when the Hawks blew the league title when they were trying to feed Hull for his 5ist goal. In the end through all their unselfishness did was to pad Hull's bank book as it was he and not they who got the fin- ancial rewards.

What is the extra $2,000 in playoff money too Hull? He

forts picked up another $1,000 for leading ‘the loop in scoring. tf he is not playing for the love of the-game or for. the money just why is he playing.
