...those who want to go right over the side, there are water skis and more than enough power to pull them. Even River Queen's houseboat is equipped with twin engines, which push the poky hull up to 30 m.p.h. Buehler Corp. exhibits its Bolero with water-jet propulsion that can make 44 m.p.h. Even closer to being airborne is Water Spyder Marine Ltd.'s first hydrofoil pleasure craft. Twelve feet overall and priced at $970, it can ride up onto its foils in seconds, tow a skier at close to 40 m.p.h...
...Chicago Black Hawks' Bobby Hull has been called the "perfect muscular mesomorph." He is the National Hockey League's Most Valuable Player, its fastest skater (upward of 23 m.p.h.) and hardest shooter (his lefthanded slap shot rockets toward the net at 118 m.p.h.). Goalies complain that getting in the way of a Bobby Hull shot is "like being slugged with a sledge hammer," and practically everybody agrees with Montreal's Claude Provost that Hull is "the strongest guy in hockey."

...last week a new Bobby Hull was sporting a 15-stitch gash on his forehead -souvenir of a brawl with New York Defenseman Jim Neilson. He already had spent 49 min. in the penalty box, and the Chicago Black Hawks, who have never won an N.H.L. championship, were leading the league by 1½ games over Montreal. "Something was bound to blow," exulted Coach Reay. "Bobby had to do something to protect himself...
...rate Hull is going, what needs protection most is the N.H.L. record book. With the aid of a specially curved stick designed by Stan Mikita, Bobby has developed his shooting skills to the point that he can make a puck do practically anything he wants: curve, sail, flutter unpredictably like a knuckleball in baseball, or dip suddenly about 6 in. just before it reaches...
