BOSTON - Veteran Johnny
Bucyk wrecked Montreal's c o m e-
back hopes with a dramatic un-:
assisted goal at 12:47 of the third'
period as the Boston Bruins de-
feated the Canadians 7-3 last
night to take a 3-2 advantage in
their best-of-seven National Hock-
ey League playoff.
The Bruins took a 5-1 lead into
the third period, but the Cana-
diens came out as if to duplicate
their comeback from a similar
disadvantage last Thursday, when
they won the second game of the
series, 7-5.
* Goals by Frank Mahovlich and
John Ferguson narrowed the count
to 5-3. The Canadiens appeared to
have the Bruins on the ropes with
more than 10 minutes remaining.
However, Bucyk came off the
bench, picked up a loose puck and
went in to score his first goal in
five playoff games. He cut in on
the right wing his off position,
and crashed into two defensemen
just as he fired a shot into the
far corner of the net. That was
all the Bruins needed as they re-
assumed command and moved to
within one victory of the semifin-
als in defense of their Stanley Cup
Championship.
Ken Hodge completed the Bos-
ton scoring with an unassisted
goal on a 30-foot shot with just
over four minutes remaining.
Seven Boston players shared in
the scoring. Other marksmen were

outfielder Bernie Smith hit a solid
single to left in the fifth inning.
Don Mincher, who played with
the Brewers when they were the-
Seattle Pilots, helped ruin the ma-

Michigan's courtsmen scored
their second consecutive shutout
as they racked Toledo 9-0 in a dual1
meet yesterday afternoon.
The courtsmen won all the sets
in singles play, and only lost one
set in doubles play.1
Number one seeded Joel Rosss
defeated Steve Squires 6-2, 6-4.
Ross' wicked serves and looping
return shots kept a frustrated
Squires off balance throughout the
match.
Number two seeded Tim Ott
trounced Ken Brown 6-3, 6-0. Num-
ber ° three seeded Dick Ravreby
subdued Gary Driftmyer 6-2, 6-3.
Captain Ramone Almonte, seeded
number four, blanked Tim Thomas
twice, 6-0, 6-0. Almonte has been
playing consistent tennis over the
past few weeks. He was the only
singles player who won against
Illinois last Friday. He also made

Number five Michigan seed
Kevin Senich won a tight contest
over Brian Engle 7-6. The twelve
point tie breaking system was used
for this meet. Senich however
made Engle look like an easy mark
as he won the match with a 6-0
score in the second set. Senich, a
freshman, is one of the bright
spots in Michigan's tennis future.
Mike Ware completed the sweepi
of the singles matches with a 7-5,
6-1 win over lanky Jim Davis.
Ross and Ravreby combined for
the doubles competition. They
drubbed Squires and Engles 6-3,
6-2. Ravreby had trouble return-
ing some early shots, but then got
in the groove by stroking well
placed balls beyond the reach of
the Toledo competition.
Ott and Ware, also singles play-
ers, downed Toledo's second seeded
team of Drifmyer and Davis 6-3,
6-2.
Michigan's third seeded doubles
team of Dave Domzal and Bob Ep-
stein lost Michigan's only set of
the day, 6-3 to Greg Dredge and
Ken Brown but rebounded to win
the match 6-4, 6-2.
Epstein, a freshman, made his
first start for the Michigan courts-
men. After the victory, he said,
"During the first set we were ner-
vous and cold, especially me. We
finally started to get going in the
second set."
Epstein had started growing a
beard several days before he
learned that he was going to start
today. After discovering that it
would have to be shaved before he
played, he reluctantly did so a
half hour before the match.
Toledo coach Pete Kramer com-
mented after the game, "We played
some good sets in the lower seeded
matchups and a good number three
doubles. I'm disappointed, but we
lost to a fine team."
Michigan's coach Brian Eisner
said "We played pretty well
against a good team. My only dis-
appointment is that we had to play
inside because of'the bad weather."
The rain and wet courts forced
the meet to be played inside the IM
building.
Michigan is now looking forward
to today's dual meet against Kala-
mazoo. Hopefully if the weather
clears up the meet will be played
outdoors on the varsity courts be-
hind the IM building. Starting time
will be 2:30 p.m.
