...television's big stars; of peritonitis; in New London, Conn. Rose joined NBC's Howdy Doody Show in 1947, redesigned its gravel-voiced, freckle-faced principal and colleagues, Dilly-Dally and Phineas T. Bluster, and pulled Howdy's strings through countless squabbles and seltzer battles with Buffalo Bob Smith and Clarabell until 1960, when the network dropped the program and disbanded its vast peanut gallery of young fans...

Fired along by the shooting punch of its "French Connection" line-Center Gilbert Perreault and Wingers Rene Robert and Richard Martin-Buffalo reached the finals by humiliating the Montreal Canadiens four games to two. The outcome of the Flyers-Sabres series, which opened last week with a 4-to-l Flyers victory, should boil down to how well Goalie Bernie Parent and Philadelphia's hard-checking defense contain...
