Howe played 25 years in the National Hockey League which during most of that eriod was 8 six-team league, Howe and New England Whalers again could be operating in a six-team league this fall - the World Hockey Association, ‘tf this really becomes a six-team league, it will be like old times for me," said Howe. “When there are so few teams, rivalries build up and [think the fans enjoy it a bit more because they get to be familiar with the players on all six teams." ; The probabillty of the six- year-old WHA functioning in 1978-79 with only six teams seemed likely in the light of developments Wednes' y at the WHA’s board of trustees meeting, Howard Baldwin, WHA president, said: “‘] received a telephone report from the Houston trustee, Kennett Schnitzer, on the current situation of Houston. The board of trustees has decided to take appropriate action based on Mr, Schnitzer's report, He will be giver full notice of the board's decision." . Baldwin then said: "It seems unlikely Houston will operate in 1978-79." Birmingham Bulls also seem unable to put. their financial house in order at this point, and have been given until July 12 to establish definite plans for the 1978-79 season. The Bulls have been released from a financlal committment made a month ago when merger talks began with the NHL.

Terrace will lose its only men’s baseball team when the Terrace Reds fold because of lack of interest on the part of the players, according to team manager “There's no interest,’ Hamilton said, “none of the ball players are coming out.” The team is down to five players turning out to twice-weekly practices, he said, and the team can’t continue with this kind of participation.
