Later, with improved conditioning and technique, we can have one unit in up to two minutes. Matter Of Wind The substitution need is basically a matter of wind. In one game, for example, Gordy Howe (Detroit Red Wings) clipped off 20 miles in 35 minutes of action. Average speed of a hockey player is somewhere around 25 miles per hour. And it might come as a surprise that fatigue usually hits the arms sooner than legs. In hockeys y constant action of (applying (fighting off prespressure) and sure), arms absorb more punishment than legs. There likely is no sport where the loss of weight per minute of action is greater than in hockey. This is due to a combination of vigorous action, inside play, and comparatively heavy equipment and attire. two-wa- back-checki- the 11-- 6 g shot Mets.

Why they did it is simple, explained one young fan, 17 year old George Defazio of Patchogue, N.Y. We did it because we want because part of the Mets the Mets are the greatest. Only the Orioles can quarrel with that now. And maybe not even the team with Frank Robinson, Boog Powell and Brooks Robinson, who romped past Minnesota in three The uniform of Salt Lake goalie Russ Gillow was saturated after 30 minutes of action against San Diego in the Portland tournament. And he is comparatively stationary to the others. Gillows sopped attire felt like it weighed 30 pounds. A hockey coach, though, takes almost as much interest in the oppositions player box as he does his own. Jockeying Personnel Kinasewich explains: It is a matter of trying to play your best checking line against a foes best scoring line and trying to slip in your best scoring Ena against their worst checking line. A visiting team has to declare its starting lineup first. That is a matter of much importance in substituting sequence to the home team. This principle follows the same line as a last bat for the home team baseball club. Mets and fans straight, will be able to win the argument. For at this moment in history, after seven years during which they were the clown princes of baseball, the picture has irre- uncrowned vocably changed. These Mets have pitching. will be too long. Bring on Rod Gaspar . . . ; whoever the hell he is! Frank Robinson shouted in the tnidst of his celebrating He said he teammates. wanted us. Gaspar, a rookie outfielder, reportedly had expressed that sentiment after the Mets nailed the NLs East Division title on the way to a three game playoff sweep over Atlanta. Well start with him and go on from there, said Robinson. Would you believe four games? Would you believe seven in a row? In a more serious vein, the Baltimore slugger conceded See BRING on Page C-- 3 celebrate National League pennant after Monday win. And when they dont have pitching, they have hitting.
