Pa ge Twelve THE MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, May 17, 1974 Bruns rp Fyers, stay alve BOSTON (Y - Bobby Orr broke out of a s c o r i n g slump with two goals and two assists and the Boston Bruins outmuscled Phila- delphia for a 5-1 victory last night, remaining alive in the National Ho c k e y L e a g u e playoffs with the Flyers. The Boston victory narrowed the Flyers' lead to 3-2 in the best-of-seven series, with the sixth game scheduled for Phila- delphia Sunday afternoon. Smarting from three consecu- tive losses after winning the series opener, the Bruins came out and beat the Flyers at their own game in a virtual brawl from start to finish at steamy Boston Garden. Referee Dave Newell was the busiest man on the ice, whistl- ing a total of 138 minutes of penalties. The 43 penalties in- cluded 12 majors, a misconduct and a game misconduct. The Bruins were frustrated by Philadelphia g o a I i e Bernie Parent, despite outshooting the Flyers 17-8 in the first period. However, Boston inched into a 1-0 lead on a short-handed goal by Gregg Sheppard, who was set up by Orr at 8:14. The Flyers tied the count on a goal by Bill Clement at 6:04 of the second period while both teams were shorthanded, before Orr took charge once again in his typical fashion. The Boston defenseman broke the deadlock six minutes later by flipping home a backhanded rebound s h o t after Sheppard had been robbed from close up by Parent. Then, at 16:55 of the middle session, Orr made it 3-1 on a long slap shot. The play was set up by defenseman Dallas Smith, who carried down the left wingboards and then tied up two Philadelphia players to per- mit Ken Hodge to get a pass back to Orr. Hodge and Don Marcotte cap- ped the scoring for the Bruins near the end of the final period. The pattern was set in the opening seconds when Philadel- phia's Dave Schultz, who holds virtually all NHL records for the most penalties, got into a browl with Boston's Carol Vad- nais mast 24 seconds after the opening faceoff. Another bout in the opening period featured Philadelphia's Andre Dupont, Jim Watson and Boston's Terry O'Reilly and Andre Savard. In the second period, Schultz and Wayne Cashman of the Bruins made good on continued threats and squared off, each drawing majors. In the third period, the game threatened to turn into a free- for-all as the Bruins continued to dominate the action. Schultz and Vadnais tangled, and Boston's Bobby Schmautz joined in. Schultz was given a minor and misconduct penalty. while Schmautz drew a game misconduct and a roughing in- fraction. Vadnais got off with a single minor penalty. With 1:13 remaining, Vadnais went after Bruce Cowick after the Philadelphia forward had flattened Marcotte. Boston's Richie LeDuce and Phila- delphia's Tom Bladon squared off in their own private heavy- weight event. When peace was restored, all four were given major penalties.

Big cage names appear at Ann Arbor tournament By JOHN KAHLER A pair of "ringers" from the ABA, George Gervin and Charlie Edge allowed the Ypsilanti Jock Shop team to whip the Flint Appollos 106-78 as the Ann Arbor Basketball Classic began action yesterday. Gervin, of the San Antonio Spurs did not show particularly much as he garnered six points, all in the second half. But Edge, leading rebounder for the Memphis Tams, put on a spectacular show of dunking and boarding, scoring 16 points and pulling off 18 rebounds. YPSI HAD the Flint team totally psyched out from the start as they rolled to a big early lead and never let up. Former EMU star Gary Tyson led the winners with 20 points. In earlier action, the Detroit Saints, a group'~of Shaw College alums, ran and gunned the Pontiac Roy Whites .to death, 103-99, much to the vocal dismay of White, the Pontiac coach. Cliff Pratt hit for 39 for the winners, offsetting a 29 point effort by Bob Solo- mon. Eleven of Solomon's points came in one two minute surge that pulled Pontiac from a deep deficit to a tie. Frank Russell, the older brother of Michael C., scored 23 for the losers.
