Page Sixteen TH$ MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, May 10, 1974 Clarke's score ruins Bruins .From Wire Service Reports Bobby Clarke rapped in his own rebound at 12:01 of the first overtime period to give the Phi- ladelphia Flyers a come-from- behind 3-2 victory over the Bos- ton Bruins last night. The win for the Flyers evened the Stan- ley Cup final series at one game apiece and sends the series to Philadelphia for the third game Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. The Flyer triumph was only their second ever at the Bston Garden dating back to the first year of expansion in 1968-69. BOSTON APPEXRED to he in control of the game after first period goals from Wayne Cash- man and Phil Esposito gave the Bruins a 2-0 lead. Clarke cut the Brains' lead to 2-1 at 1:08 of the se-ond stanza, but the Bruins remained in command until the final minute of regulation time. With 52 sec- onds remaining Flyer defense- man Andre Dupont converted Rick MacLeish's centering pass to knot the contest and send it into sudden death overtime. Both teams had numerous scoring opportunities in the overtime, but goaltenders Ber- nie Parent of Philadelphia and Giles Gilbert of Boston were both outstanding. The Flyers had two glorious opportunities, but both Macleish and Terry Crisp were thwarted by Gilbert. Boston's captain John Bucyk had the best chance before Clrke's game winner when Bobby Schmaatz set him up all clone in front of Parent, only to have the Vezina co-winner mnke the crucial save. AT TIMES the game was on the verge of mass brawls with nomeroas doable penalties being ralled by referee Art Skov. The main event occorred in the first p e r i o d when Boston's Terry O ' R e i l l y and Philadelphia's Dve Schaltz squared off with e,ch garnering five minute ma- jors for their fisticuffs. The Brains got the better of the penalties, h o w e v e r, as Schultz and Flyer teammate Tom Bladon were also assessed minor penalties giving the Bos- tonians a two man advantage. ALTHOUGH the Bruins did not score a power play goal, they did cash in three seconds after the doable penalties ex- pired when Cashmain converted a short rebound off a shot from Esposito. Philadelphia's badman Schultz proved to be one of the game's heroes, notching two assists, one on each of Clarke's goals. WAYNE CASHMAN of the Boston Bruins cashes in on the first goal of the game, as Philadel- phia Flyer goalie Bernie Parent takes a short break to collect his thoughts. Loves win debut Professional League Standings By GEORGE HASTINGS special To The Daily DETROIT-World Team Ten- nis made its debut in the Motor City here at Cobo Arena last night and immediately took on one of the less savory aspects of American team sports, as a 28-19 win by the Detroit Loves over the Toronto-Buffalo Royals was marred by a 15-minute rhu- barb in the first half. Midway through the third set of the six-set meet, a mixed- doubles match between Detroit's Allan Stone and Mary Ann Beattie and the Royals' Jan O'Neill and Mike Estep, Royal player-coach Tom Okker explod- ed a la Billy Martin over a fault call against O'Neill. After a short delay for Ok- ker's protest, the umpire re- fused to let O'Neill to serve be- cause of the delay. Okker waved his team off the court in exas- peration, and was only con- vinced to continue play after minutes of discussion. The protest overshadowed a s t r o n g performance by the Loves' Rosemary Casals, who took 12 of 14 games to pace her team under the WTT's scoring system, which a w a r d s each team one point for every game won during the meet. Before a disappointing but en- thusiastic crowd of 3,611, Casals started slowly and fell behind, 2-1, to Wendy Overton in the first women's set. But Casals, the nation's third-ranked woman player, soon regained her form and stormed to a 6-2 win. The Royals' Okker came right back, however, and overpower- ed the Loves' Phil Dent, 6-1. Stone and Beatty completed the first half of play by winning the protest-delayed d o u b 1 e s match, 6-2, to bring the Loves to a 13-10 halftime lead. Casals came back after the intermission and continued her domination, sweeping the first four games over the frustrated Overton, and then two more from substitute Laura Rossouw. Dent then surprised Okker with a booming serve and pin- point returns to upset the Hol- lander 6-3, and give the home squad an insurmountable 25-13 lead. AMERICAN LEAGUE East w L Pet.

Only games scheduled Orr lands four By JOHN KAHLER 7 Johnny Orr has a secret ambition-to turn the University of Michigan into a basketball school. With that goal in mind, Orr and his assistants have been hitting the recruiting trail hard in the past few weeks, and their ef- forts have so far paid off with the signing of four prospects. None of these prospects is particularly well known, but neither was "Main Train" Worrell when he came here. They should give the empty seats of Crisler Arena something to behold in campaigns to come. THE FIRST player to ink his national letter was Joel Thompson, a 6-7 forward who ma- triculated at Flint Beecher. Thompson aver- aged 23 points and 16 rebounds per game as he led Beecher to an undefeated regular sea- son record. Thompson possesses an excellent shot from 20 feet out, and knows how to handle himself under the boards. The influence of Flint legend~w (and Michigan assistant coach) Bill Frieder contributed heavily to his decision to come here. Len Lillard, a 6-7 center who led Ann Arbor St. Thomas to the Class D state championship, signed on a few days later. A local hero, Lil- lard should help attract a few paying custo- mers to chronically undersold Crisler Arena. The Michigan coaches took a chance on Lillard, since the Class D competition he played against is not particularly impressive. But Lillard has the athletic credentials, be- ing the reigning State high jump champion (leaping 6-6) and placing second in the shot put (with a 52-2 toss). ORR WENT OUT of state to land another front court man, 6-7 Burrell McGhee of War- ren, Ohio. McGhee was the Northeast Ohio player of the year at Western Reserve High, the alma mater of Michigan football star Tim Davis. McGhee possesses an unorthodox but ef- fective outside shot, and handles the ball ex- ceptionally well. Michigan needs depth at the forward spots, and he can provide it. Michigan has also signed guard Dave Bax- ter, a Class B All Stater at Detroit Lutheran West. Baxter's specialty is scoring; in the three tournament games Lutheran West play- ed, he came through with efforts of 51, 30, and 44 points, Through the season, Baxter averaged 27 points per contest. Since the Wolverines are well stocked at guard, he should have time to develop his defense. THE WOLVERINES did not land a big man and it does not appear that they will this year. But the Big Ten coach of the year is not par- ticularly upset. "We have definitely improved our front line situation and Baxter will be a fine guard. Of course, we are not done recruiting, but at the moment I feel- we are in excellent shape." WAYMAN BRITT leaves a Wisconsin' defender behind asbe rolls to a fast break bucket against the cumbersome Badgers. Orr's new prospects may force Wild Wayman to return to the backcourt. But don't bet on it.
