Original Toronto Star caption: At 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds, Marlboros' captain Bill Harris is a prime pro prospect and for Harris, his junior graduation couldn't be coming in a better year. New World Hockey Association will enter bidding and continuing National League expansion pushes values of players ever higher. WHA's New York tem took Harris and linemates Steve Shutt and Dave Gardner as three of its four priority choices.
