Sport: Two for the Money
(2 of 2)
Since making the N.H.L. at the age of 18, Howe has become one of hockey's highest-salaried stars (an estimated $25,000), last week was named for the eleventh season to the league's All-Star team, the only player to be picked unanimously. Over the years he has paid the price despite his skill as a battler (brain concussion, ripped cartilages in both knees, "maybe 300, probably more, stitches on my face"). The proud Rocket is balefully intent on revenge, and the record will likely shuttle back and forth for the rest of the season. But with a seven-year age advantage on his rival, Howe seems certain to wind up eventually with the honor.
