Penguins Trade Art Stratton PITTSBURGH fAP)-Center Art Stralton of the Pittsburgh Penguins of Ihe National Hockey League was traded Friday lo the Philadelphia Flyers. The trade completed a deal started Wednesday when Pills- burgh acquired right wing Wayne Hicks from Philadelphia.

The Penguins were' to give a player or cash for Hicks. Straiten scored Jfi goals and made 21 assists in 58 Penguin games this year. With Frazier, a knockout puncher wilh his left hook, every workout is like a real fighl. That's the way it was with Rocky Marctano, the relircd, undefeated heavyweight champion. Frazier resembles Rocky in fighting style and determination.

While big Buster hasn't excited any of the critics with his boxing drills, Ihe nimble gianl has displayed an improved, sliff jab and a good led hook dial could surprise Franier. The first collision could determine the outcome of Ihis fighl. Frazier has geared himself to wade through whatever firepower Buster can muster lo get in his dynamite. Frazier has scored 17 knockouts in compiling his 19-0 record. Mathis has a 23-0 record including 17 knockouts.

Griffith, now 30 and in his 18lh world title fight, has rarely been as consistent in his prefighl drills as he has been for his rubber match with DIP rangy Italian. The muscular, slim-waistcd champion will be giving away reach, height and weight again and knows he'll have to stay on top of the challenger.
