The triumph was the first in the best-of-seven quarter-final ser- ies for the defending Stanley Cup, champions, who trail the Rangers 2-1 with game No. 4 set for tonight. Ron Stewart wrecked Dryden's bid for a shutout with Rangers' lone goal midway in the third period. In the second period the tide changed dramatically, with the Canadiens repeatedly sweeping in- to the New York zone. And at the 7:18 mark, Mahovlich finallyl broke the scoreless tie. Guy Lafleur set up the goal, dropping the puck off to J.C. Tremblay at the blue line.

E" . , CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, sportswriting is not al- ways Budweiser, Boeing and the Sheraton Cadillac. Sports- writers sometimes stand around Michigan's spring football workouts in the spine-chilling cold trying to learn a little about the game. What happens? We get shoved around the field like enemy spies. We do have minds of our own, however, and we are capable of noticing things even the near-perfect Bo Schembechler can't see. There is one person on the Michigan roster that Bo Schem- bechler knows very little about. His name is Mark McCabe and he is a walk-on athlete. In case you are mixed-up with termin- ology, a walk-on is the player who is not wined, dined and- paid to play football at Michigan. He simply wants a fair chance to make the team. And nothing more. Mark McCabe is not the usual walk-on. He's strictly a place- kicker which makes him "expendable" because he can't crash heads with the rest of the team. McCabe 'received a serious head. injury while playing football in the eighth grade. He is not able to withstand contact but his love for playing foot- ball hasn't ceased. McCabe began kicking seriously after he recovered from surgery. He practices in his backyard by aim- ing through the fork of a tree and his efficiency earned him 21 extra-points at University of Detroit high school. McCabe's "limited" capabilities were not observed by any college recruiter, so he settled for the University of Detroit and its club football program. After not competing as a freshman, McCabe connected on 12 of 14 extra-point attempts and six of eight field-goal tries. U-D club coach Jim Leary was even more optimistic. "He (McCabe) can kick with any team on any level," Leary said in Detroit Friday. "He could win a few games for you (Michigan)." During that 1970 season, McCabe split the uprights from 32, 34, 26, 35, 38 and 29 yards. "The only kicks he missed were either blocked or were the result of a bad placement of the ball. He's also kicked a 52-yarder in practice,' Leary quickly added. Michigan's school record of 42 yards was set by Dana Coin in 1970. Once Coin's kicking ability was established, his role as a linebacker minimized enormously. Leary realized McCabe's health problem but still allowed him to participate on the kick-off teams. "He always got the ball into the end-zone, but then he darted straight for the. side- lines. We covered his kicks with only ten men," the coach with a heart explained. The big break for Michigan came when McCabe obtained a 3.5 average at U-D and transferred to the research center of the midwest seeking a career as a lawyer and also as a place kicker. Last semester McCabe came in at an astounding 3.8, a 1 cinch for the All-America acadimic team. But McCabe is not familiar with Michigan's "professional" football and its so-called rules. Because he missed two days of practice with ligament damage to his kicking foot, Schembech- ler kicked McCabe off the team without saying a word to him. So for not reporting an injury to Coach Schembechler, McCabe is now fighting for another chance to prove himself. Unbelievably, Michigan is currently without a dependable place-kicker as both Sehembechler and assisitant coach Jerry Hanlon indicate. And without McCabe, there will be no Dana Coin's to pull us through the close games next season. Coin graduates next month. daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: CHUCK BLOOM blay's shot was wide to the1 but Pete Mahovlich took the bound off the boards at the cor of the goal and shoveled it front to brother Frank, who ra med it past netminder Eddie C comin. * * * Leafs lose TORONTO - Bobby Orr set Mike Walton's goal with 1:22 maining in the second period, tl scored one of his own in the op ing minutes of the third frame power the Boston Bruins to a National Hockey League play victory over Toronto last night.

T-ur curnr CWAfrI1I - DEFENSE, GOALIES STAR Lacrossers overcome Bearcats By FRANK LONGO Special To The Daily CINCINNATI - Aided by solid goaltending and a rock-em, sock- em defense, the Michigan lacrosse4 team smothered Cincinnati 10-41 esterday on the slippery Astro Turf of Nippert Stadium. Jay Johnson and Charlie Crone shared the netminding duties but w#re hardly overworked as the de- fense sparkled, led by junior Pete Lodwick. "Pete played an outstanding #hme," praised Johnson. "He pick- ed up a lot of ground balls and, cleared the, ball real well." Lod-1 wick, who played on the Michigan! freshman basketball team two years ago, used a few of his old cage moves to elude several would-be checks for some 50 and -yard dashes. The offense was' far from poor, however. The midfielders and at-' tackmen totaled 37 shots, ten ofk which found the net. Leading thel way was Carl Burns who talliedl four goals and an assist. Dick' Dean also pulled the "hat trick,"I #coring three times. The odd goals were contributed by Steve "Crank"; Hart, Dan "Night Train" Lambie, and Don "Son of Dodge" Holman., The win pushed the season rec- ord for coach Boh Kaman's cre w as to be completely rested for the mid-afternoon encounter yesterday. anBut that schedule fell through and all but two of the players who showed for the game ended up making the four-hour trip early Saturday morning. For some this involved leaving Ann Arbor as early as 7:00. In addition, two reliable vet- erans failed to make the trip at all. Big Pete Drehmann is usually relied upon to push people around whiles playing a stingy defense. And attackman Skip Flanagan is greatly expected to feed Holman regularly from behind the net. Necessarily his absence caused Holman to score far below his average with a mere one goal. ready to play, one got hurt, dur- ing pre-game practice, no less. Starting goalie Johnson, whose main forte is his ability towhold the opponents to fewer goals than Michigan scores, twisted his ankle while loosening up before the game and had to be helped off the field. Attackman - turned - trainer Phil Powers did a fine job of taping Johnson up, enough so that he could start and play the entire first half, although his mobility was much reduced. A charley horse suffered in the first quarter didn't help any, either. With Michigan in the lead 7-2 at half, Kaman sent Crone in to play goal, and he responded with a well-played half. Crone followed up a poor showing in East Lansing Finally, of the two players who last Wednesday by robbing various did get down to Cincy Friday night Bearcat shooters at point blank and should have been rested and range at least four times.
