Flyers Strikes Out At Nhl Draft For Scoring Punch
Flyers GM Bud Poile faced a harsh verdict after the 1968 NHL draft as Philadelphia fans and players questioned his moves. The club traded captain Lou Angotti and lost star Sudar Sutherland while Ed Hoekstra left for the minors, leaving a scoring gap. Poile favors youth but the roster lacks proven 25 to 30 goal scorers, threatening the offense unless young players erupt.

Former Ridley Township athlete Mark Brewster will play for Galesburg in the Central Illinois Collegiate League after leading Arizona State in batting and doubles. He will live at Knox College dorms, work by day, play six nights weekly, and endure bus trips to Springfield.
