NEW YORK-Third period goals
by Bill Fairbairn, Walter Tkaczuk
and Ted Irvine powered the New
York Rangers to a 5-2 victory over
the Montreal Canadiens yesterday
and into a two-game lead, in their
National Hockey League quarter-
final playoff series.
With just 20 seconds gone in the
final period and both teams short-
handed, Fairbairn picked up a
loose puck; skated in slowly and
tossed a weak backhander that
eluded Montreal netminder Ken
Dryden, struck the left post and
bounded into the net to give New
York a 3-2 lead.
Then he Rangers, after with-
standing a Canadien power play,
got another goal with 41/2 minutes
to play when Fairbairn's pass was
taken by Tkaczuk who blasted it
in from short range.
With 1:33 left and the Canadiens
playing without Dryden in favor
of a sixth attacker, Irvine scored
into the empty net.
Other scorers for the Rangers
were Dale Rolfe and Ron Stewart
while Guy LaFleur and Claude
Larose scored for Montreal.

Nicklaus seizes Master
By The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Jack Nick-
laus, gunning for his fourth title
here and the first leg on a nev-
er-accomplished pro grand slam,
put on a belated charge for a
four-under-par 68 and the early
first round lead in the 1972
Masters Golf Tournament yes-
terday.
Nicklaus made up six strokes
in as many holes on the back
nine at the storied old Augusta
National golf club course and
swept past early finisher Sam
Snead into the lead.
"I had two rounds," the Gold-
en Bear said. The first 10 holes
he was two over par and the
next six, six under.
Also he had a warning for the
rest of this elite field of the
world's greatest shotmakers.
"I started hitting the ball the
way I wanted to. I still have
problems, but I'll hit it even bet-
ter tomorrow.'
Nicklaus, who came into this
event with more than $109,000
in winnings for the season, ap-
peared unusully tense and
tight as he struggled over the
first several holes. He turned in
37, one over par, bogeyed the
10th - then started his charge.
He birdied the next three holes,
matched par figures on the 14th,
took an eagle three on the 15th
and birdied the 16th.
Snead, the 59-year-old sweet
swinger who won the last of his
80-plus tour titles in 1967, post-
ed a 69 despite a three-putt bo-
gey on the final hole of the sun-
splashed, flower-bedecked lay-
out.
Snead, winner of more than
80 regular tour titles in a career
that dates back to the days
when Babe Ruth and Lou Geh-
rig still were tearing things up
for the New York Yankees, pre-
dicted before the tournament
he'd be hard to handle if he
got off to a quick start.
And the one-time National
Seniors champion birdied three
of the first. four holes. He
punched an eight iron to six
feet on the first and made the
putt. On the second, he chipped
to 12 feet.
"I was just trying to lag the

and go about my business," the
old West Virginian drawled.
"Doggone if it didn't go in the
hole like it was heading for the
barn."
He made another from 20 feet,
again just attempting to get
close, on the fourth, then
matched two birds with as many
bogeys on the back side.
Arnold Palmer, at 42 seeking a
return to glory moved into third
place with, a 70, two under par.
Paul Harney, the old "Silver
lead,-
Fox," from Sutton, Mass., and
amateur Jay Simons of Butler,
Pa., were next at 71.
The large group who matched

ing weather included Australian

Netters gird for Big Ten season
By JEFF CROWN
Beginning today with Minne-
sota, Michigan's tennis team opens
its home season with three match-
es over a four-day period. Follow-
ing today's encounter, they will
meet Iowa tomorrow and Notre
Dame Monday.
The Minnesota match. will fea-
ture the Gophers one-two punch
of Jim Ebbitts and Carter DeLait-
tre and their meeting with Michi-
gan's Joel Ross and Jeff Miller.
Minnesota's rookie coach John
Santrock feels his two aces will
be threats for individual cham-
pionships in the Big Ten meet this
year. Ebbitts lost two fairly close
matches to Ross, and DeLaittre
was fourth, man last year for Min-
nesota. The two will -also team up
to take on Michigan's number one
doubles team.
The Gophers have been ham-
pered by poor weather and have
had only one day of outside prac-
tice prior to today's match, but
were able to muster a 3-4 spring
record with the highlight being a
defeat of Georgia Tech.
Minnesota finished a disap-
pointing eighth last year, but looks
to be much improved this year.
Michigan's coach Brian Eisner
commented: "All in all, I look for
this to be a very fine match. I
think it will be a whale of an
opener." The match begins at 2:30
p.m. at the varsity courts near the
I.M. building.
Tomorrow's match with Iowa
appears to be a little tougher. The
Hawkeyes have five returning let-
termen, from last year's squad
which placed third in the confer-
ence, They enjoyed a 4-2 spring
record with both defeats being
close ones at the hands of Arizona
State.
Iowa has a balanced team head-
ed by number one sophomore
Bruce Nagel, runnerup in the Big
Ten fourth singles last season. He
has a 5-1 record so far this year.
Following Nagel, in order, will be
Rod Kubat, who has a 4-2 record,
Lee Wright with a 3-2 record, Ian
Phillips at 5-1, Rob Grizwold, 4-1,
and Steve Dickenson with a 4-2
record. Dickenson, a freshman, is
the only non-letterman. However.
Coach John Winnie feels he very
easily could have had a 6-0 record
so far.
The Hawkeyes haven't had too
much good weather to play in, but
should be used to playing outdoors
by their Saturday 1:00 p.m. meet-
ing, as they played Western Mich-
igan yesterday, and Michigan
State today.
Notre Dame, who clashes with
Michigan at 2:00 p.m. Monday,
should offer Michigan the tough-
est competition of the three.
Coach Tom Fallon has five re-
turning letterment from a team
which went 26-5 last year.
Buster Brown, their, returning
number one man, had a 21-9 rec-
ord last year. Number two and
three men John Allare and Mike
Reilly, both seniors, had 26-4 and
15-14 records, respectively. Junior
Bob Scheffler, the number four
man, had a 19-9 record last year.
Brandon Walsh, a sophomore from
the Jamaica national team had a
21-9 record.
Previous to their ten-day tour
)f Mexico which they came back
from yesterday, the Fightin' Irish
defeated Purdue 8-1, and white-
washed DePaul 9-0.
Coach Eisner calls them "one of
the finest independent teams in
the midwest." Last year one of
their five losses was to Michigan
6-3, so revenge could be a factor.
Michigan's line-up will be, in
order, Joel Ross, Jeff Miller, Dick
Ravreby, Tim Ott, Kevin Senich
and Jerry Karzen. Also expected
to see action will be veteran Mike
Ware.
Eisner commented, "We're very
much looking forward to starting
our season back in the midwest.
We're playing as well as one can
expect. We need more continuity
than the weather has permitted
but right now we're further along
than we were last year at this
point."
Eisner is hoping for a big fan
turnout. In the case of inclement
weather, the matches will be shift-
ed inside the I.M. buildin~g.
